Ah, I read it as along the lines of “I can’t say he looks intelligent” rather than not being able to find the right words.

Some thoughts:
- I didn’t realise Conrad was so young - the anime version makes him look much older than Yuuri, so I thought he was supposed to be about 30
- I wonder what the point of the コンラート/コンラッド thing is - just to make it extra clear Yuuri’s not in Kansas anymore?
- Do the names of the characters in the new world have any significance? Or are they just random Germanic names?
- Yuuri’s comment about isekai being overused (20-odd years ago) - little did he know…!
- The first thing Yuuri notices about all the male characters is how handsome they are.
ETA:
Added to the references, not sure it’s the right one, though. 
Found another one! 
The number of Yuuri’s favourite Seibu Lion’s catcher, Itou Tsutomu, is 27.
(When he’s mumbling about 27 being a good number.)

I think pretty random. At least, I have 0 association with any of them (other than that my brother’s second name is Konrad ) and I have been through german-speaking education. If there was some cultural/historical relevance, I would have at least heard of something, I think.
