Well, I think that it's in history books. I don't think the author quitted highschool, so he should at least know some notions. Though I want other cultures and languages be more 'useful' or 'significant' to the plot like the book's contents in Bungaku Shoujo. Reki's Arc is fine, but others...well, I just get the feeling that there's no important means to the story.

Well, you can't expect everything to be used, so that will be it.
