"How does it work?"

"Don't actually know. Google it."

Can he.... Type "how to use Google" at the end of the URL??? 

"Type in here," Haru says, poking the search box.

Oh there's a second special place to type for Google, neat.

"And there are each links to other websites about how to use google?"

"Yup."

Lucien clicks on the first option and reads for a bit.

"You can search with your voice?"

"Speech to text? Sure. Cricket uses it a lot."

"Does it... call an operator who types for you?"

"No, no, there's software doing it. Software means computer program, like the one that fetches and renders websites for you."

"... how?"

"Google it!" sings Haru.

"...You are very charming sometimes."

And Lucien can google it!

Awww he's cute but he's from a hundred years ago, let's not go there.

Does Lucien want to continue to stay in Haru's house indefinitely or would he like an AirBnB or something.

He would prefer not to intrude on Haru's hospitality indefinitely - if it's not a burden to pay for an AirBnB not to far from here would be very helpful. 

One of Haru's agent's colleagues has dug up some historians for Lucien to talk to; it's not a ton of money but it'll cover lodgings while he figures out something more permanent.

Being self-sufficient is really a load off his back. He uses his copious spare time to catch up on history and figure out how to navigate the modern world.

And Haru is always happy to hop on the phone with him after a dungeon if he has any questions, though he doesn't do a dungeon every day.

Lucien feels a bit weird about enjoying the days Haru does do a dungeon so much but he does nonetheless! 

On this particular day Haru isn't doing a dungeon and so Lucien is taking advantage of his newfound discovery of Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurants in Canada. He really does love the future so much.

The restaurant has a TV on the wall, playing the news silently with subtitles on. The range of seafood available is eye-popping and the portion sizes are huge.

The future is really amazing! Lucien orders a stew that involves mussels, shrimp, scallops, and halibut, as well as something called a California roll because he is in an age of abundance.

The California roll comes out quick, the stew will be another few minutes.

...

Lucien messed up his order and the kitchen is broken now, isn't it. Or the cook is really angry at him for ordering too many kinds of seafood??? People are staring at him so probably it's that because that would be more obvious given that everyone heard him order. How about he not eat anymore of the California roll even though it's too late and he can ask a waiter to cancel the seafood order and maybe give it to someone else? That sounds like it could make up for things at least a bit - he raises his hand slightly so one of the waiters will know he realized he needs to change his order. 

The waiter is going to make eye contact and nod but not come around instantly, he's with another table.

The news switches over to typhoon damage in the Philippines.

Oh god what did he do. Lucien is going to stare in rapt attention at the television.
