[ Mitsunari nods, contented for the moment since Ragna has chosen to comply with his wishes.
He doesn't know what sort of store they need to visit. After all, he doesn't even know what the "horseless carriages" are actually called. Looking at the cars passing by on the street, he can see that they're emblazoned with emblems that say things like "NISSAN" and "CHRYSLER". Are those... the names of the people who created the vehicles? That makes sense. The name for the vehicle in general wouldn't just be written on its side. Horses don't have signs saying "this is a horse" around their necks.
As luck would have it, they don't have to walk long before they pass by So-And-So's Car Dealership. It would have been better if they'd stumbled upon a car rental service -- Mitsunari really does not need to own a car -- but this is how fate would have it. Mitsunari doesn't look excited, because he never does, but he's definitely interested in all the cars for sale. ]
So the horseless carriages are called "cars".
[ Mitsunari is satisfied with this new knowledge. It's faster to say. ]
Ragna! Let's go. I am getting myself the fastest and sleekest "car" available.
