"That was a good night sleep." Siya yawned and stretched.
"I bet you did a good night sleep. I had to share with three people." Gary complained.
"I had to sleep on the floor!" Honjo complained. "Zaine pushed me off!"
"What did I do?" Zaine raised his head from the pillow.
"Don't pretend you don-" multiple guards marching in the room cut him off.
"G-good morning..."
"We need your help, now!" Suddenly, the guards dragged them to the castle in the northern part of the city.
"So you inspect a bunch of teenagers to get your daughter back?" Gary asked in a snobby tone.
"Yes! You are the light warriors, aren't you?" An old man in a red and white robe and a crown, like the stereotyped king, stood before them.
"I guess. We all had some strange dream, and then an odd vision or something… Maybe this is all just a dream." Zaine talked like he wasn't taking this seriously. He almost wasn't.
"I don't know about a dream, but the heavens must have sent you down here! I've never seen you guys before!"
"Maybe we're foreign."
The king turned to a well-build guard standing next to him. "How do I not know what "foreign" is?"
"I don't know, sir. Maybe they're making the work up."
"Jesus. What world did we get sucked in?" Honjo asked himself.
"A swordsman took my daughter north from here! You must defeat it to get her back!"
"Well, it would be a good way to get some money."
"Who said anything about money?"
Awkward silence, before Honjo spoke up. "Aren't kings supposed to be rich?"
"Usually."
"But you want us to do this for free?"
"Yes."
"And how do you inspect us to agree to do this for free?"
"My, aren't we the greedy ones?"
"If you can find a fighter that will fight for free, let me know. A chance to see that is one in a life time if you're lucky." Honjo turned around to walk away. Zaine grabbed his cape.
"I think we're strong enough to kill this thing. We can get a lot more experience fighting this thing than anything else around here."
"Not interested."
"We can get money by killing monsters on our way over."
"We can just fight monsters around here!"
"I bet whatever this thing is would have a lot of money."
"… Really?"
"We can get at least three beds, I'm sure."
"Maybe four. Depending on how nice the rooms are." The king added.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's!" Honjo started marching out of the room.
"That took long enough." Siya comment. Zaine and Gary agreed.
"Wait!" The king shouted.
Gary turned his head. "What?"
"Be careful!"
"Thanks. We'll tr-" Zaine punched Gary slightly. "I mean, we will!"
"We'll get your daughter back safely."
"Let's go already!" Siya said anxiously.
"Du calme, du calme, mon soeur." Zaine said. (Calm down, calm down, my sister)
"No, no "du calme!" Go already!" The king yelled.
"Hey! Why don't you get your dau- hey!" The king ordered some knights to escort them out while Honjo was screaming. He was being carried away literally by the big guard that was next to the king.
