My GOD some of these tomes were dusty, like, "there hasn't been a librarian within fifteen yards of this section in this century" dusty. But that didn't really matter, the old forgotten tomes were often the most interesting, Old reference books from years past that gave insight into the way people thought about the world a long time ago, even the novels and magazines in this section were like time capsules to a world that was older than Viktoriya by a long shot. A lot of these tomes still referred to her home nation as the Soviet Union back when Russia, Belarus and Latvia were all part of a single country.
Something shuffled around the corner of one of the tightly placed racks of books, making them shiver and let off a fresh cough of dust. What Viktoria saw facing her was a young man, older than her by a few years but with a strikingly similar appearance with grey-blue eyes and hair that was so fine and so light that she could only tell that he was blonde and not white haired like her after a few seconds of close observation. He waved, scooting himself closer to her, trying very hard not to bang his hips against the rickety bookshelves for fear of knocking over one of the heavy tomes.
"Hi there." He said in an accent that was unmistakably American the first time he opened his mouth. he was dressed in a casual looking T-shirt with a red soviet star on his right breast and the stylized number "07" on the other which was some kind of reference she probably didn't get. "My name's Zack. Sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on you. I just saw you from across the way and figured that strangers in a strange land should stick together. Or at least make some pleasant introductions." He said, shifting his shoulder to push up the straps of his backpack which has all kinds of pop culture stickers and key chains hanging from it. it also might draw her attention to the strange looking insectoid plush that was hanging, half in and half out of a slightly open corner of his backpack zipper, a chocolate granola bar wrapper wedged underneath it in an unnatural looking away.
As Zack reached out to offer his hand, he did end up shouldering one of the bookshelves by accident, the small, tightly packed, forgotten about section being too small for his surprisingly broad and potent looking shoulders. He reached out with both hands to try and stabilize the shaking as best he could, one of the volumes dropping out of place and landing, half open on the floor. It looked like some kind of dime mystery novel, but from one of the still closed pages jutted a yellowed, folded over section of paper. Zack's eyes jerked down at it and then up at Viktoria, his brow furrowing slightly before he shrugged.
"Ladies first." he said, his hands still up as if anticipating the entire section to crash down around his every motion.

Despite the old books being so dusty, there would be a piece of history behind each of them. From poring over their contents, the era in these older volumes were from the Soviet age, something that had much of a bloody and violent history not seen in any of Russia’s school textbooks over its long history. Vera would be helping in searching for something pertaining to the year where Imperial Russia took ahold of the country when both of them heard a male voice addressing the young lady. Both turned to see a taller young man with light colored hair and spoke in a foreign accent.[break][break]
“A pleasure to meet you and I do accept your apology. My name is Viktoriya Romanova and my partner here is Vera. If you need something easier for you to call me by my name, my British mother prefers Victoria after the former Queen of the Great British Empire.” Her accent when she spoke English to the other foreigner was a posh Recieved Pronunciation accent, thanks to picking it up from her own mother at a younger age. “And perhaps you’ll like to tell me why does your shirt have the symbol that the Soviet communists used during their leadership.” The girl spoke while noticing his shirt had that damnable symbol with a small hint of being a bit uncomfortable around the mention of those accursed Soviets that took over Russia after the once great Russian Empire fell.[break][break]
She would try to reach for his hand in a gesture of a handshake, but the books would end up in an attempt to drop on the ground. Fortunately, he was able to save having to explain why there would be a racket near the older books section except that there was a classical mystery novel which fell to the floor with a sheet of paper in its pages as if someone had used it as a bookmark.[break][break]
Picking it out of the novel, she unfolded the paper to find that it was a drawn treasure map. “I do wonder what sort of person would leave something like this in a school’s public library.” Viki said as the girl handed the paper to Zack if he wished to look at it for himself. “I do not think anyone ever found it at any rate, it could be valued treasure.” The pink bird responded to her friend’s remark, trying not to exclaim loudly at the thought of finding gold coins as a plot point from that one pirate anime she had stumbled upon the internet.

Zack looked down at his shirt and giggled to himself, more than a little embarrassed, not really realizing what he was wearing or what connotation the symbol itself might end up broadcasting to the people around him. A bright red star right on the front of his chest sent out a certain signal, especially to someone of her heritage.
"Oh sorry this, this here is a comic book reference." He said, reaching back with one hand, digging around in the half dozen or more books that he seemed to keep with him, handing her a worn collection volume of a book called "Justice League International". he poked at one of the characters on the cover, a man in white and red armor that looked like a large mech. "Rocket Red, he's a superhero. From a different time, certainly, back when things were a bit more détente between East and West but the mark of a hero is fighting for ALL people right? No matter who or where." He said, the soft grin that spread over his face making it more than clear to the girls across from him that he was one hundred and ten percent serious even when saying something that sounded so trite and naïve. "And this here is my baby girl, Marigold." He said, the strange insectoid plush suddenly springing to life, glowing brightly as it settled itself to the floor and suddenly took the form of a large bee creature that waved with one of its pointed leg parts.
"Hiya." She greeted, waving to Vera with the same infectious and edgeless positivity that her "father" possessed. She equally took a direct interest in the map, looking it over, hovering just behind Zack's right shoulder as they examined it. "Ooo, ooo, daddy can we, can we, can we!" She said, bouncing with her unquenchable excitement.
"Alright, princess, alright." He said, patting the scarf clad bee on the head, handing Viktoriya back her map, folded neatly. "I'd be honored to accompany you, what's life without a dash of adventure, right?" He said, with that damnable smile again. "And your birth name is fine, I may be an American Imperialist pig dog but I think I can wrap my head around a few Slavic syllables, especially if it makes you ladies more comfortable." He said, giggling as he poked fun at the animosity that Russia and America had shared over the largest chunk of the past century and change. "Though sorry if I'm a bit of a bumpkin for your taste, you do seem like a woman of proper breeding. Me? My stock's nothing to write home about so I guess I'll be carrying the shovels." He said, not a word of it spoken with accusation, sarcasm or bite.

As the man explained that the red star was a reference a comic’s superhero named the Red Rocket, the sense of her small discomfort subsided. “I’ve never heard about comics before, but most of friends tried getting me into what the Japanese call their own comics, manga.” Her response became kinder in tone, noticing that Zack would introduce his Digimon friend in return who waved to the Biyomon and had a very child-like personality.[break][break]
Vera waved back to Marigold with a smile and spoke to her. “Hello! My, aren’t you a cutie?” The bird herself thought Marigold’s own excitement over looking over the treasure map’s contents was cute. Their personalities really contrasted the other, a bee acting like an innocent child and a bird acting almost like a mature young lady ready for the day’s lesson in etiquette. [break][break]
Yet, Zack spoke again that he would be honored to accompany the two girls for a grand adventure of treasure hunting and that he apologized if he was a bit of a bumpkin compared to Viktoriya’s rich standing. “No need to apologize, Zack. Even if I am effectively the last remaining member of the imperial Romanov line, I’m pleased with not being affected much by the burden of a stuffy title. If I may help, I can also help carry the shovels if needed.” The teenage girl replied with a small bow of her own.

Zack's grin only got wider and warmer as their rapport grew more friendly and welcoming. Marigold's wings buzzed in a sharp, happy motion as she and Vera made introductions. The golden colored bee had only one piece of clothing, a bright crimson scarf that was tied tightly around her neck, or at least the insectoid equivalent of same.
"Hehe well I um..." The insect girl flushed, getting flustered and not really knowing how to react to the compliment, especially from a woman who she, like Zack, couldn't help but instinctively see as something of a social superior, even though neither of them were monarchists by any stretch.
"I mean, I'm no communist, but it'd be a bit inhuman of us all not to recognize that there are heroes on the sides of agendas we don't agree with. A man who wears a crimson star but who reaches out a hand to help others in need. That's a hero in my book, even considering anything else." He said, unable to help himself from "laying all his cards on the table" as it were. Everything he said made it more clear that he and his companion were classically helpful, empathetic, even heroic types. He turned to the flustered bee and reached down, patting her on the head with a knowing, loving rhythm. "You're darn right she's a cutie. The cutest little cutie there ever was. And she somehow got it from me. Figure that one out." He said, shrugging at his humorous self deprecation.
"Oh dad, stop it, you're all a kid could ever need." She said, poking his leg and pointing her glimmering, bright eyes up at him. He chuckled softly rubbing his upper arms.
"Aw shucks." He said, spouting the cliche line without a hint of irony, a conversational tool he seemed to completely lack. He stood up straighter, facing Viktoriya again. "Well it's settled then, three ladies of the realm and one dim knight, that sounds like the beginning of a good tale, don't you agree?" He said to Viktoriya, winking at her with a roguish aplomb. "Come on, we can pick up lunches, grab some tools and be off on the road quick as you please." He said, putting on a deferential tone to keep up with his own "dim knight" designation.

An interesting viewpoint being said by the man made her think that even if these heroes belonged in a not so good side, they were still heroic people to the country. “You’re right and you’ll have to forgive me if the influence of my father makes for clouded judgement over what heroes are...” The young lady replied after a talk of heroic people really opened her eyes a bit. After a while, she would ask Zack a small favor related to the Russian comic book heroes. “Would you mind if you’d show me which Russian comic books are an alright read later on?” [break][break]
Vera heard the man call her and Marigold as ladies of the realm while he was the errant knight on their adventure. In addition, Zack was willing to help them get lunches and supplies. “Ooh yes, that’s a good tale and Princess Marigold does sound rather nice as a lady of her own realm of insect Digimon! I’m starving for lunch too...” The bird spoke, feeling the start of her stomach making a rumbling sound in a reply to lunches being vocalized.

"Are you talking about comics made IN russia or superhero comics ABOUT russians? because those are two very separate rabbit holes." he said, rummaging in his bag for the Justice League International volume he had with him, handing it over to her. "Rocket Red, like I said, is a Justice Leaguer. Which I hope is a broad enough reference point that you can get it. Superman? Batman? Wonder Woman?" he said, a tiny hint of desperation in his voice. he had no idea just how sheltered this girl was, and also no idea how to communicate with a woman who didn't have even the broadest pop culture reference pool for superhero media.
Marigold giggled at Vera and buzzed up, digivolving down to the tiny Puroromon and sitting on her father's shoulder then scooting down into the pocket of his backpack when they exited the more barren areas of the library.
"Come on then, let's see if we can find someplace to eat that isn't too far from a place that sells shovels...yep...that is in fact a sentence that came out of my mouth...you ever reach the point where you realize you've lost control of your own life?" he joked with a grin.

Appearing that Viktoriya’s question was a bit broad, she tried to clarify a little more on that issue. “Ah, I meant superhero comics about Russians, so I apologize if that may come across a bit broadly.” As the man handed her a comic book with Rocket Red on the cover, she took it to analyze it closer. “Yes, I do believe I heard about those comic books of the heroes you mentioned being printed in Russia. Batman and Superman are very popular among them.” She continued, remembering that most of the young men in her old school really were into Marvel comics lately.[break][break]
The young woman followed Zack out of the library as soon as Vera digivolved down to Pyocomon to hide inside her tamer’s open backpack. She heard him joke about losing control of one’s own life as Viktoriya replied. “I cannot say that I have experienced that... My father is at least allowing me to take an interest in law since he was a former prosecutor in England. Do you know any eateries near where treasure hunt supplies are sold?”

Zack snorted, if only slightly, the smile that spread from one edge of his face to the other letting everyone around him know that whatever he was about to say was said in jest as he hefted his backpack higher up on his shoulders with their exit past the threshold of the library, Zack taking a slightly leading role since he did seem to know what he was doing or at least had an idea of where he was going.
"No, of course not, you're a Russo-British aristocrat, you have everything under control. Forgive my folksy nature." He said, poking a slight bit of fun at the arrogant stereotype that Americans specifically had of noble, "born into money" types, especially those coming from literal aristocracy. "Not something THAT specific, you'd have to go to akihabara to find a restaurant that's that weird. But I do know of an antique shop that I pass during my uhh...part time job that has some good shovels and cartography stuff in the window, I'm sure we can find a takoyaki stand or something along the lines, if you're alright with street food." That last comment made it hard to tell whether he was still poking fun at her being of a "higher breed" or if he was genuinely trying not to offend someone whose sensibilities were so different and more classically refined than his own. "You'll have to forgive me any snafus along the way, my lady, I'm sure your proper British father told you all sorts of horrific tales about Americans. I'll have you know we're only MOSTLY boorish, idiotic narcissists." He snickered again, trying to break any tension she might feel, he was certainly feeling some, this being the first time he was standing in the presence of nobility.
"You can feel free to keep that book by the way..." Marigold said, whispering to Viki as she peaked up from the side pocket at Viki and Vera. "he owns like, ALL of them digitally." She said, holding Zack's phone slightly out of the pocket to use her nubby finger, scrolling through a seemingly endless streaming list of comics.

Listening to the man joke about the stereotypes of aristocrats coming from how Americans viewed them, she would be asked if she was alright with street food such as takoyaki being sold near the antique store that he passed by from his work. “Contrary to the Americans’ stereotype of uptight aristocrats eating only expensive food... I'm not opposed to eating street food like takoyaki.” She replied back with something to joke around while the atmosphere was still a little awkward.[break][break]
As Zack mentioned her father being a British aristocrat, the heiress would correct him...gently, of course. “If I may interject for a bit, my father is a Russian royal while my mother is a British aristocrat though he did live in England to meet up with my mother when they were younger.” The voice of Marigold telling the young woman that she could keep the book herself since Zack had most of the comics being digitally owned on his smartphone for reading at a fingertip made her nod to the bee’s direction.

"Still scrolling...stiiilll scrolling..." She said, her little nub hand flicking faster and faster across the screen of the phone, endless colorful covers and other images scrolling past as even she seems to be getting mesmerized by it now. "Holy crap, dad..." He said before he, a bit haphazardly, shoves her down into the pocket with the palm of his hand as someone walked past, he smiled and waved, letting the person pass them by completely before letting her back up this time without the phone. She takes a comically exaggerated gasp for air.
"Your point is taken, little lady, now hush." He said, patting her on the head with the pad of one fingers. The two of them seemed to have an inseparable energy as they lead the higher class duo down out of the library and down the streets. Always in on the joke with one another, laughing and giggling and seeming to relax a bit, wanting to let Viki and Vera in on the somewhat childish but always good natured fun they were having with one another. "Ah, right here..." he said, pausing on the sidewalk a pointing to an antique store with a bungle of some shovels and a metal detector in the window for a steal of a price, a cart out in front of the building emanating with the sizzling sound of takoyaki being battered and turned over on their distinctive stove. He unslings his backpack and places it on the seat of a bench nearby with Marigold inside. "Do you mind watching her and ordering the food while I step inside to get the equipment? She seems very...hyperactive today and the last thing anybody needs is for her to blow our cover in a quiet antique shop in front of somebody's grandma looking at old plates." he said, jerking a thumb over his shoulder to gesture at where he would be, waiting for her answer before nodding and turning to go into the shop, the door closing behind him with a ring of a bell.

Once their arrival at a takoyaki cart near the store with the old stuff being sold to older people. Zack asked if she could order the food and watch over Marigold while he would go to get the shovels and other treasure hunting supplies. “Yes, I’ll watch over her and buy the food.” Her response to the man’s question had her nod while turning to look down at the smaller bee. The young girl had been looking through the comics on his phone, so the young woman left to order the takoyaki for four people.[break][break]
An old woman who had finished preparing the takoyaki to serve asked her how many people wanted to eat, Viktoriya gave her answer with four people needing a lunch, so the elderly lady turned to place a dozen of the takoyaki balls inside a brown paper bag, her gloved hands giving the bag over to the young lady where Viki paid for the takoyaki with the yen she took out from her own walket. With a word of thanks to the old lady after she got her change, she had come back to the bench with the bag of takoyaki in one hand.[break][break]
She expected Vera to smell the takoyaki though the food was still a little hot. Viki would wait a little bit for Zack to come back and to wait for their lunch to cool down some.

The sound of unsteady grunting and a rusty jingling would announce that Zack was coming back and what he came back with would look like something out of a cartoon. Even Marigold craned her head from the pocket of the backpack that Zack had left with Viki, trying to be sneaky about it so as to not totally blow their cover.
He had a massive hiking backpack, almost taller than he was and thicker than his waist and from those absurd dimensions it had been ballooned wider and wider by as many different kinds of supplies as he could think to buy. Just from one Viki could see he had shovels, a compass, metal detectors, extra water bottles, battery packs for their phones, hiking boots, several different pairs of heavy work gloves and god knows what else he had decided to grab. He hefted the bag down, propped up against one leg of bench where the girls were sitting.
"Holy...CRAP!" He exclaimed, the words getting more strained before releasing at the final setting down of the bag with a audible FWOOMPF against the path. "Oh...whew!" He relaxed, sitting down. "Mm, smells yummy~ alright, pass them around and let's look at where that map is leading us, we should puzzle over the first clue while we're sitting down." He said, waiting for her to pull out the map and unfold it.
Starting from a circle mark at the university library where the book had been discovered, a dotted path wound through the city streets, though it was clear it was an old map, the condition of the city being from the early 60s at the latest near the beginning of Japan's post war boom
"These landmarks will be tricky, but I think we're supposed to head due west toward the Bay of Tokyo." He said, pointing with one hand, tracing the line on the map with the other. The waterfront wasn't visible from where they sat, hidden behind and endlessly sprouting horizon of buildings. "Says here, if my Japanese is right that we're looking for "Japan's salvation, a bounty in wheat and gears..." what the hell does that mean?"

The audible sound of the supplies being dropped near the bench meant that the man was done with buying whatever they needed for the treasure hunt, so she passed the bag containing their lunch to him while she unfolded the map for Zack to see. From the landmarks being described as ones from Japan’s post war boom in the 1960’s, the next direction was due west toward the Bay of Tokyo. Yet, the riddle in Japanese about the salvation of the country and a bounty of wheat and gears was a bit vague.[break][break]
“Could it mean something like a vehicle holding stacks of wheat that saved Japan’s issue with crops? It’s a bit of a vague riddle to go off of, but that’s what I thought of.” She replies with her own answer, but it could be wrong. Was there be another angle that this riddle took? The vagueness of it all really made solving it a little difficult unless there were context clues.

"Most of Japan's post war food aid came from the United States. Maybe we're looking for the docks where ships would have come in from the US? Hmm, we should start moving in that direction and see what we find. There seems to be some little dots along the line that might be extra clues. I'm sure we can figure it out with four heads put together." He said, scarfing down his food in big, gulping bites that could only really be described as "quaintly american" in nature before he drained the drink he had been given.
Marigold followed in her father's physical mannerisms, stuffing the takoyaki in her face in huge, big bites that lead her to swallow the balls nearly whole when they looked almost as big as her head. Gulping them down and gasping for air before doing the same thing to the next one in the box. They really were such copies of one another, making it very clear that their father daughter relationship was not some cute affectation.
