...
My head hurts. Where am I..Wasn't I in Empty SEKAI..?
Mizuki woke up,holding her head as she had a horrible headache. When she looked up,she saw the burning head of a clock and 11 other people beside them.
"Hello..?" Mizuki sheepishly said,it was foolish of her to answer strangers she didn't know.
"You okay?" Ryoshu mumbled. Sinclair immediately held a hand out to help Mizuki stand up. The other members of N25 laid unconcious on the floor.
"<...Are..they okay?>" Dante ticked,looking at Ena,Mafuyu and Kanade. "They're fine,Manager." Meursault said,checking their pulse. Mizuki's headache had faded,when she rubbed her eyes,she couldn't believe what she was seeing and hearing. A walking,talking clock with a flame coming out of it's head. It was also the manager of the 11 people surrounding it?
"...Am I..still dreaming?" Mizuki's eyes slightky widened as she took in Dante's form in full picture. Mafuyu finally woke up from her uconcious state and looked at Faust,before looking at Dante in confusion.
"..Why does that..person have a clock for a head..?" Mafuyu said,her tone was surprised,but it didn't help that her voice sounded very empty. "I..don't know,Mafuyu.." Mizuki said,looking at Dante.
"<Ah..Are you..okay?>" Dante said,looking at Mafuyu. She looked rather disheveled,her purple hair being incredibly messy. "Yes,I am. So please,do not worry." Mafuyu replied,Dante had a sigh of relief. Some sinners looked at Mafuyu in confusion,Ena and Kanade had finally woken up aswell.
Ena looked around at her surroundings. Taking in every breath of the area. "It smells like..pollution." Ena coughed. "Ah— Ena,are you feeling well?" Kanade coughed aswell,having taken a wift of the strong stentch of the City.
"Uh,Miss.." "Asahina." "Y-yeah..!Miss Asahina. Why could you understand Dante,our manager..?" Sinclair said.
"..Can you three not understand Dante?" Mafuyu said,looking at the other three. Dante looked at Mafuyu in confusion,although there wasn't anything to tell if they really were shocked.
"<I..just realised..>" Dante said,before being abruptly cut off by Ena. "Yeah,I can understand him." Ena said,Mizuki had nodded aswell. "Me aswell,Mafuyu." Kanade said,looking at Mafuyu.
"I'm guessing not everyone can understand Dante? Judging from your reaction." Kanade said,her black dress was covered with slight dirt.
"Didst they hath a contract with Manager Esquire aswell? Please share thy knowledge! Young Faust!" Don Quixote scratched her chin as she stared at N25. Some sinners looked uneasy.
"Where'd they even come from,eh? They just,formed from light?" Heathcliff said,his theory was immediately disproven by Faust.
"No,Heathcliff. Faust says that..these are people from another world." Faust said,a slight smug appearing on her face.
Some sinners studied the four a bit. N25 looked..unprepared for the City. They didn't have any weapons,they didn't feel like they had any experience of being in the City,and they were horrified and disgusted by things that were normal to The City.
"So,they must be from a different universe aswell." Ishmael said,making her hypothesis. "Am I correct?" Faust was silent for a bit before replying with a slight nod. Ishmael closed her hand in triumph.
"Dante. Faust suggests you introduce yourself to these people properly." Faust said turning to look at Dante. Yi Sang looked at Mafuyu with a rather melancholic expression,as if he saw his past self in Mafuyu. He looked away after Mafuyu noticed him.
"<Ahem..Uh,My name is Dante. And this is Limbus Company.>" Dante said. Some sinners held back their laughter at how awkward the introduction was. Rodion would normally be laughing but her eyes were caught on Kanade. Kanade reminded Rodion much of herself. Rodion's expression looked terrified for a second before masking it with slight laughter.
"Hello,Dante. I am Kanade. Me and my group are musicians apart of the music group "Nightcord at 25." Kanade said,her voice was rather soothing,as if a warm and nice voice had become even more warm.
