[The Far East]
Did you know that beyond the sea lies the Far East? Its unique culture is becoming popular among adventurers.
"The jobs 'samurai' and 'ninja' came from the Far East."
"'Bushido' and 'shinobi' and all that stuff are sooo cool! I want a boyfriend like that!"
"Maina, do you know anything else about the Far East?"
"Um, you mean like the Doll Festival and Feast of Swords?"
"Hm, you may be smarter than you look."
"Of course! I even know about Far Eastern food! Rice balls and sushi! Putting rice and other ingredients together was a great idea!"
"Well, you're just a wellspring of knowledge, aren't you?"
"Oh, and I bet you didn't know this! 'Far East' is actually a trendy word describing the direction they shave hair to make a topknot--It's totally 'Far East'!"
"What!?"
"People who live in the Far East all wear topknots! That's why everyone calls their country the "Far East." It's just the way their heads are shaved! Geesh, I thought everyone knew that."
It can't be real. Nobody can possibly be this stupid.
So is it true that there are places other than the Far East that aren't on the map?
"In the south lies the Mithran homeland."
"I've been to Kazham before!"
"No, I am talking about a different place. There is a great nation even further south that the founders of Kazham came from."
"Reeeally!?"
"What's up north?"
"The Orcish Empire and the islands where the Gigas live."
"Orcs and Gigas seem sooo clueless! How can anyone be so dumb?"
"Also, there is the Gugru Blue that lies west of Mindartia, and beyond that lies a place called the 'Near East.' My special mirror is originally from there..."
"Hey, hey! I think I got it!"
"Got what?"
"This 'Far East' place! It's in the west, right!?"
