The dungeon is in Korea, but as an esper with a pretty specialised power niche Haru is used to occasionally having to go international for these dungeons, and the fact that he already speaks Korean is definitely a bonus. The espers he's going to be working with are all in Quasar Guild, which is the largest one in Korea and which has just recently acquired a very powerful teleportation esper, one whose power can be stored in batteries Quasar also happened to already have in its possession, so they're covering the teleportation cost for Haru to get there.
So long as he's with Haru everything is good.
"—I meant to tell you and forgot. The thing you suggested, about asking if people were comfortable being pinged by my powers, that went over well. And I didn't really feel tempted to do anything more."
"Mmhm. I'm still not entirely sure what to tell people that I've worked with a lot before, though; your suggestion was a good fallback but it does leave the impression that I'm kind of incompetent for not having noticed it in all these years..." The ways in which Jaeha is incompetent are unrelated to that.
"I don't think it's necessarily going to be hugely alarm-raising for most people if they realize that you were doing it all along and just decided to start being more conscientious about asking. It is a risk, I'll grant."
"Yeah. Mm. There's maybe a line to be walked about how having you as a partner might've changed things. In a mechanistic way, I mean, not in a 'it turns out I was evil but I'm not evil anymore' way."
🔔traceless: guess who got the sweetest fanmail from Malaysia
🔔traceless: it was me, though I did also forward it to him.
🍉melonmelon: traceless you're relevantly multilingual, should one of them change their name
🔔traceless: it's only confusing in Latin characters, nomu could spell it in Japanese and it wouldn't be at all. I think "nemo" is literally Latin so nomu is the one who has to change though if either does
nomu? has changed their nickname to 飲むか
🚫do-not-jin: I am so glad this platform has nickname histories, if I had to track down the choices you all make I'd go insane
🍸飲むか: unlike your normal self, who is very sane
🚫do-not-jin: yes.
yoo-min-max: what'd the email say?
🔔traceless: just that it meant a lot to see me & Jaeha not caring about what country we are in when we kiss in public, I don't want to paste the whole thing because I don't think it was intended for public consumption
🔔traceless: it was heartwarming! I also got a less heartwarming taste of Korean celebrity culture but really all those people were doing me a favor, giving me reading material for when I'm backlashed
yoo-min-max: ohhhh did you get fanmail
yoo-min-max: what flavour was it?
yoo-min-max: I'm glad @SenSoJoo and I are not famous enough to get it too often
