“I reckon you need to study up on the common sense of modern society right away.” Dawn ran over to grab the laptop they bought at the mall the other day.
Shadow didn’t object to the idea and dutifully sat across the guy while he gave his lessons. She initially thought her previous lessons had been enough to familiarize herself with modern society, but the TV shows just now clearly said otherwise – she in fact didn’t know anything after being abandoned by the times.
“Come, read these first, then ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.” Dawn then skillfully downloaded some articles from the Internet. It’s mainly about the basic skills used in film and television and their special effects.
Unless he manages to lift the misunderstanding from this cat lady, the guy won’t be at ease.
Then using the brief time opening while the lady studied, Dawn quickly pulled out his cellphone and found some videos and materials regarding modern weaponry. These were primarily discussions about the subject on forum posts and articles, just suitable for someone trying to grasp the subject.
The truth was Dawn had a strong interest in military subjects so it was easy for him to dive the web. To say he’s an enthusiast wasn’t an exaggeration. In fact, his favorite themed videos would be related to firearms and explosives. Heck, he even dreamed about joining the army at one point. Sadly, his vision was mostly crippled thanks to years of watching TV, thus forcing him to brush the idea aside.
But of course, having a poor vision was no longer an issue after he ate that fruit. Not only was his physique in tiptop shape, but his eyesight was also pristine.
“After understanding the special effects in movies, watch the video I sent you also.” Dawn sent the video URL to the notebook.
When she’s able to distinguish the difference between fiction and reality, that should be fine then. Should I go to the flea market afterward and raid a batch of primary school textbooks?

“Yo, are you still learning?” Boink had walked over from the kitchen without notice and got curious about what the catling was doing.
“Don’t interrupt her. There’s a huge gap in her understanding of the modern world so let her be. We must make up for it as soon as possible.” Dawn rubbed his temple in distress, “At the very least, we need to make sure she’s not going to muddle the line of reality and fiction. We can’t risk her causing a commotion in public by mistake.”
“You mean not luring those monster hunters over, right?” Boink points out the main reason the guy was fretting so much.
“… If you get it then I’ll save my energy.” Dawn chuckles like a guilty child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
“So did you come up with a solution to her ID card problem yet?” Boink nodded and continued.
“No, I didn’t come up with an idea yet. Hey Boink, you use online payments do you not? Doesn’t it require ID too? Do you have a way?”
After decades of fine-tuning, there’s not going to be much of a loophole in the household registration system. Well, at the very least, not any for ordinary folk like Dawn who didn’t have connections.
“Hmm… I know that the Monster Alliance has a business specializing in handling documents for us, but the procedure is somewhat troublesome. Furthermore, a powerful catling like Shadow would need a further review if she applies.”
It’s then that Shadow suddenly raised her head and asked, “What is an ID card?”
Dawn explains: “The certificate to prove your identity. Modern people can’t survive without it if they want to get anywhere. Almost everything nowadays requires some ID. In short, only homeless beggars wouldn’t need one.”
With half her body leaning on the coffee table, Shadow bit her lips and turned to the hamsterling: “Dumb Hamster, can you let me see your ID card?”
