There are probably plenty of things about their own worlds that most people don't know. [ he's not wrong? most people are oblivious. ] But the idea that all of us have different blind spots to things someone else thinks are totally common knowledge would be too big of a coincidence.
And yeah. Some people here are from centuries before my time.
[Honestly it's a miracle it took this long for him to reveal he's bad at communicating.

But he doesn't say that anyway, in favor of frowning thoughtfully as he thinks this over and tries to make sense of it.]

He lifts a hand to his chin, tucking the other, sword still in hand, under his arm as he thinks.]
Most people are oblivious. [So it's not unusual for people to not know monsters or magic or whatever. But... hmm...] You said different times?

Predictably, Kanda looks confused.]
That's wrong. [Yes Kanda that's what she meant by different times] It's [vague late-1800s year. Like 1890s.]

We're both telling the truth.
