Erm...is this thing recording? I didn't think making an actual post would be this hard...

[He taps on the journal before gasping.] Oh, it is! Great! Um...hi there. I've been here for a couple days, but I just now got all settled in. Now I can finally introduce myself. Sorry for taking so long!

[There's a bit of tension in his voice. Even though he's been in Luceti for about a week, it's obvious that he's still a little shaken up from shock of being torn out of his own world. He can't help but worry.] I'm Jiro Kusano, but you can call me Roji! I'm from Earth, and I help manage a bureau for supernatural investigation with my boss back home. It's nice to meet you all.

Oh yeah! I wanted to ask something. Is it...is it true that stuff in the stores here is free? [His voice is much more excited now.] I went to buy some groceries and the clerk there said it was free! Er, I'm kind of a fan of cooking, but I don't get the chance to experiment with a lot of stuff because of my...situation back home. Being able to get supplies without trouble is amazing.

[As he's about to shut off the journal, he remembers the most important thing he wanted to bring up.] Actually, I have a request too. If anyone knows of someone named Toru Muhyo, could you let me know? I really hope he's here...

Supernatural investigation?! Oh, Oh! Roji, you got to tell me more about that!

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many people to be really interested in it! N-Not that that's a bad thing. It's a great thing.

In a nutshell, it's investigating areas that are known to have harmful ghosts and sentencing those ghosts for their crimes. It goes hand in hand with Magic Law, which allows for the ghosts to be sentenced.

There's a paranormal court were you're from?

Sort of. The ones who sentence the ghosts are called Executors, so they decide what crimes the ghost will be punished for. They have to get it right too, since they summon envoys to retrieve them for that specific crime. If they get it wrong, well, the envoy would attack the Executor instead.

That's a pretty demanding system - does the job of figuring out the crime they need to be punished for fall onto you guys, or do the Executors usually handle that themselves?

Well, my partner Muhyo is an Executor, so...yes, he does handle it himself. My job is to protect him while he does the sentencing.

So you're just the muscle?

... I guess you're right. [Roji...actually likes the sound of that.] I never really thought of it that way.

Really? What other way is there to think of it, if you're the bodyguard? The Watson?

I thought "partner" worked well enough.

Oh yeah, I guess "partner" works pretty well too. Though if you aren't working the same job...

Well, we're working together, at least.

Okay, there's a quick way to determine this: are you ever sexually harassed?

Am I... W-W-What?!

Sex-u-al-ly harassed.

W-What does that have to do with anything?!

[What do mean he's dodging the question?]

It's like a staple of the boss-secretary relationship that the secretary is sexually harassed!

How is that a staple?! I didn't sign up for that!

It's like a fact of life, you know?
