Chapter 5: The Next Objective

I see. So these boys came from the other world.

They wanted to question you about that so I was escorting them here, but on the way, we were ambushed by the enemy and got separated.

I'm sorry, I didn't know. I apologize for hurting you.

It's fine. More importantly, are you done with your investigation?

Yes. I was on my way back to the castle to report my findings.

Before you go back, I have two questions to put to you.

Firstly, how can we get back to our own world?

And secondly, were any other people aside from us brought into this world?

I'm still not fully certain there's a way to send you back to your world, but I've found that our sacred treasure caused the phenomenon.

When the enemy invoked the treasure's power, an anomaly occurred and the two worlds were somehow connected.

If we use the treasure's powers once again to reconnect the two worlds, your return may be possible.

So we'll be able to go home.

As for your second question, my guess is that there are two, at most, three, others who came here from the other world.

So two or three others... I hope we know those people. If not, it's gonna be hard trying to find them.

You actually want to search for them?

Now that we know all this, we can't just leave them behind. If they're dressed like us, there's a good chance they could be someone from school.

I suppose you're right. We should secure our way back home first, and then set out to look for the others.

Can you tell us more about this sacred treasure? The enemy's after it too, right?

Maybe you can let us borrow it so we can go back home. You know, if it's doable.

That's not something we can decide on at the moment. We'll have to return to the castle and discuss it there.

So that's the story, and it turns out these guys want to use the sacred treasure's power too.

The enemy is also after its power.

If keeping it here means endangering the peace of the Cacao Society, then I couldn't care less if we lose it.

There is still much that is unknown about the sacred treasure. I believe it may be dangerous to rush to a decision just yet.

Of course. I will have you continue your research on this matter. The final decision will follow.

Yoruichi, can you go speak to the Gatekeeper and get more information about the intruders? I need to know more about those "two children."

The Gatekeeper is probably with the Prince. I haven't seen them around.

They've snuck away again? What are they thinking in this state of emergency?

I'm sorry, you two. In exchange for helping you return to your world, I have a request. Can you go find our missing Prince?

Could he have been kidnapped by the enemy?

Most likely not. The Prince hates being involved in any kind of trouble, so he tends to sneak away when anything comes up.

What kind of Prince is he? I thought your nation is in danger right now.

That's just the way he is. Aren't you curious about these "two children" too?

What should we do, Ichigo?

Isn't it obvious? We're gonna help these people out, find the others, and then we're all going home together!

Now, that sounds like a plan!

Chad, I have a feeling this might be a dream.

Yeah, probably.

Hey there, you two. Feeling a bit more awake now?
