Tokyo, Ginza, one of the world's three most prosperous shopping districts.
Ever since Alice and Lybia had arrived in the Real World, they had stayed inside Seiya's home and refrained from going out for the past few days, afraid of causing too much of a stir.
It was not until today that they realized what they had seen of the Real World before had merely been the tip of the iceberg.
The UW was vast, and with its medieval European backdrop, Alice, who had lived in Central City for years, and Lybia, a noble young lady, could both be said to have seen grand occasions.
Yet now, looking at the flourishing Ginza and the crowds that were nearly shoulder to shoulder, Alice and Lybia could not help sighing that the Real World was far more prosperous than they had initially imagined.
