At the very forefront of the battalion, one of the soldiers raises their hands, and stops them in their tracks. The sound of hoofs quaking the earth is replaced by an eerie silence. All the men remain completely still as the soldier steps out of his horse, and slowly comes forward to you.
“Hehe…”
Getting a better a look at this soldier, you see they differ greatly from the rest. This one towers over you. A lumbering giant who’s very footsteps leave craters on the field.
They’re covered in thick, black wooden armor in the style of a samurai. A large, wooden kanabo rest on their back, covered in metal spikes. It almost looks like they simply ripped a tree off from the ground and made it into a weapon.
“You want to talk? Talk.”
@Lou_change
Your thwomps land directly in front of the soldiers, barring them slightly. However, they do not respond, and simply wait for their commander to give them further orders.

Catherine snaps out of her panic state and speaks meekly.
“This festival has been going every year for a millennium, and in that time, thousands of heroes showed up to this world to meet Flammarion. Not a single one ever returned. In fact, “The List of Losers” is so large, it’s been turned into an entire library of people who have been humiliated by our king over the years….In other words, your chances are very, very low.”
Natsume interjects from the cabinet.
“B-But we believe in you! Kinda…”

Natsume quickly pops out of the closet as you say those words, landing on her face. She lifts her head up from the ground and looks at you with sparkling joy in their eyes.
“Really?!”
Catherine’s mood raises a little as well, and she bows to you.
“Please help us escapes! We’d greatly appreciate this!”
