All the way forward.
On the journey, Richard naturally learned the names of the Cat People group he was with.
The male swordsman was named Ruth, the female swordsman was Ellie, the Ratman was Heitu, and the Little Fox Boy was Pike. These were all fairly common names—there was no evident difference from the Wizard World in this regard.
However, what slightly surprised Richard were the names of the young Tiger Man and the elderly Orange Catman.
The Tiger Man was named Tyson, which sounded similar to a famous boxer on Earth.
As for the Orange Catman, his name was even more peculiar, surprisingly... Hachishi.
Yes, Hachishi.
A cat, a Catman, named Hachishi.
This made Richard feel a bit amused.
Beyond the amusement, though, there was a strong sense of curiosity.
