[ in all fairness, there is a sect that are actual monks so he's not too far off. sqq will give him a point for that ]
It is, in a way. We are also protectors of the villages and towns closest to us, as our abilities allow one to defend against both demons and spirits alike.
[ he thinks for a moment that sqq sure is confident of how different the modern world is for a ye olde, but someone probably just gave him a rundown or something. whatever. ]
But I guess it's good that we don't get demons and stuff?
[ kazuki will not sing about porn for sqq sorry to say. ]
It's not all good, but it is useful. The closest we've got here is that library - apparently it's got things from all different worlds. It's not quite the same, but close enough.
Indeed. One has been absorbing quite the collection of interesting knowledge in this past week.
[ it feels a little forbidden knowing some of this stuff. like, when will he ever need to know the best method of eradicating hilchurls? ]
One has even found music sheets relating to other places. An attempt has been made to read them but alas it is only here that one has access to an instrument to practice.
[ would Kazuki recognize The Sound of Silence? bc sqq plucks a little at the strings for it. it's not smooth at all since he's doing it by memory but it's probably still recognizable ]
I was looking for new sheet music to try out. I found a couple, but it's hard to tell for sure if I'm playing them right when they're from other worlds.
[ it takes a second, but this song is iconic. he grins. ]
The Sound of Silence. I taught myself how to play it a few years back.
Mm, it's difficult without familiarity with the music of the specific world.
[ he switches something from genshin. idk maybe yun jin's opera for dramatics sake. it sounds professional for something he's playing mostly by ear and maybe reading the sheet music a whole singular time ]
Liyue according to those familiar, has strong similarities to Cang Jing Peak. Thus it is not hard to imagine the music too would follow similar themes.
[ switching again to something modern again, it's clear there's less ease of playing cause he has to actually take extra time to figure out his notes as he plays. ]

A far different type of cultivation than what one speaks of.
no subject
That's... the only kind of cultivating I've heard of.

[ though he's sure there's someone out there who uses qi for farming. there's probably an isekai on it too, help ]
The specific path is of the scholarly arts, hence music, arts, and strategy.

Music and art are good for the soul, though, so I can kind of see what you're getting at.

Indeed. We are teachers, exorcists, peak lords, and whatever else needs to be done. It is quite different than the modern world.

Though one must admit, one would take demons who are predictable over games that are not.

Truly. Though, if one had to choose, a nice game of weiqi over a cup of tea would be the best.

[ he knows about go but like. probably not by another name. ]

[ he pauses, looks around, and points to the Go board tucked under a window. ]
On a board like so.
no subject
Oh, that? We call it "go" in Japan. I've never played, but there was a club for it at my old school, I think.
no subject
Ah, that's right. The game has expanded far beyond our borders, hasn't it? The library said as much.

It is quite the thing, this internet. All that information shared between places in a blink of an eye.

Otherwise, even this one has trouble.
