>>5710009You spend half an hour looking, but you don't find Nikkou anywhere. Maybe they found her already and just left without reporting back? That would be kind of rude...
>"Ah, hey guys! Did you find her?"And just as you think that, here they are.
>"Nopety nope!">"Not here either?! Aww man... We're gonna be toast without- Oh there she is!"Kentarou notices the katana poking out of Tomato's bag and pulls it out.
>"There you are Nikkou-san! Why didn't you follow us?! Oh, she's sleeping..."What the hell? So that Nikkou girl was... actually a katana?? And why is he talking with it, is he one of those weirdos that treats their weapons like people- Oh... wait...
>"A-Anyways, thanks for the help! We'd be in big trouble without her... C-Can we do something to repay the favor?">"B-But Miki-chan... We gotta leave like, right now...">"Oh come on, Kentarou-kun! They helped us, we gotta help them! Then, all the karma will come back to us, and we'll be better off than we would be otherwise... Right?!">"Umm, I... guess...? Regardless, do you two need help with anything? Preferably something swordfighting related, please... That's my only good skillset...">"That's not true! Well... I guess it's not wrong. Kentarou-kun is SUPER strong, trust me! If you want to beat up some thugs or loan sharks or the FBI or even a Dark Lord, he can help you! He even has this super cool Kentarou Slash attack, that I named!">"I don't think they have the FBI in this world, Miki-chan... But those other things are true! She may not look like it, but Nikkou has some special, Dark Lord beating properties! I don't get how it works, I guess it's some magic mumbo jumbo or something?? She never explains why she's special when I ask her..."Wait a second. He has a sword that (apparently) can speak, and it can defeat Dark Lords too?? That seems suspiciously familiar... You're very curious to see if that's true or not.
