"So," Joshua says, "We got summoned here because we're heroes?" "Yup, pretty much" Kiran confirms. There's silence for a minute. "Welp!," Joshua says cheerfully, "since we're here now, might as well settle in!" "Oh no we're not!," Neku says before pointing at Kiran, "you are going to send us back home right now!" "Well..." Kiran dragged out. "Well?!," Neku said clearly not in the mood for this, "what do you mean well?! You brought us here, so send us back!" "Well...," Kiran said again, "you see..." "He can't send you back" Raigh finally said for him. "WHAT?!" Neku shouted and Joshua raised a concerned eyebrow. "Allow me to explain!," Sharena said before something got blown up, "when heroes get summoned here, they are bound by a contract that prevents them from leaving until their task here is complete!" "And what is this task?" Neku asked clearly ready to blow. "To defeat princess Veronica and anyone allied with her!" Sharena says. "And how long will that take?" Joshua asks pulling Neku back slightly. "We honestly do not know," Ophelia replies, "we have been doing it for a while, but there is no end in sight. I have faith we can do eventually though."
"You okay Neku?" Sharena asks Neku who is looking p**sed as heck. "Uh oh," Joshua says before pulling everyone back, "you guys may want to stand back" "Why?" Kiran asks. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Neku screamed VERY loudly. "That's why" Joshua says bluntly while the other 4 looked stunned. "Anyway...," Kiran says trying to {and failing} to not looked fazed, "so, now that's settled, why don't we get you two a bedroom?" "That sounds great!" Joshua says cheerfully before Neku can say anything, making him look even more p**sed. "Great!," Shares says, "you okay with this Neku?" "So long as I don't have to bunk with Joshua, I'm fine" Neku mumbled making Joshua comedically pout. "Alrighty then!," Sharena says grabbing both newcommers by the hands and bringing them in, "let's go!" "Wait for me!" Ophelia said before running after them. "Wait!," Kiran shouts, "I'm in charge of room distribution!" He then runs after them. "Lord help us all..." Raigh moans before walking after his allies
