would like to know why too.

asked around and found out they were hosting some sort of a convention?

if Basil could go and investigate.

could but...is it really that suspicious?

learning a culture of another country could be useful.

sees his point. Then he shall do his best to learn more about it! ^^ Ah, that person's costume looked familiar actually...

cheerfully asks if it's someone off the TV dramas.

shakes his head. Twas not the person himself, rather what he was wearing...where had he seen that outfit before?

would ask if it's from another country.

pretty sure he saw it in Japan, so...yes?

if they are 'cosplays'.

tilts his head, giving him a confused look. "Eh? Like the ones done for anime in Japan?" Now that he thought about, it was in an anime where he saw them. How strange that they would be over here too.

reminds Basil that Japan has a huge influence on the world!

gains a look of awareness as he remembers that. Still it was surprising at how big it is. There must hath been thousands of people!

can give Basil permission to enjoy himself there.

smiles widely at the offer. Then, with his mission finished, he shall do just that. ^^
