He slowly approaches them, examining Sandra closely. He moves back to where he was standing, frowning slightly.
"If you are who Miss Honda says you are, no harm will come to you. Indeed, we owe you gratitude. And our apologies. We mistook you for enemies. If you are telling the truth, you can understand our concern.
You may call me Fukuhara. I am a representative of the Taisha, the organisation who is responsible for funding and supporting the Heroes of this world. These men and I act both as administrators and representatives to the Shinju, who you will have met if we are correct and you have just exited the Jukai, and we also act as protectors of this world, taking care of the mundane issues our Heroes do not.
Men, disperse."
The men hesitate, before nodding in unison and marching off of the rooftop through a side door, leaving Fukuhara alone on the roof with the party. He raises his hands and arms to reveal he has no weapons on him, even allowing them to search him without concern. When they are done, he continues talking.
"Your ship MAY be in the forest nearby, if the smoke is any indicator.
I, perhaps, did not tell the truth about my role. I am more than a representative, I am Mio's, and her group, handler and direct superior. It is I who requested her to go on her mission to protect humanity. We are aware that the Trespassers are currently destroying other realities, and we trusted her to assist in the elimination of these enemies for the protection of our world. We have the Vertex to deal with already, without these creatures coming in to destroy our world, although we have yet to detect any of them.
Again, my apologies for the rather impolite first meeting. I hope you will enjoy your stay in Kamogawa. Whatever brought you here, we think it will not happen for another while if our sensors are correct. I can pull some strings to ensure you are well provisioned both for your stay and for your eventual departure."
"Some of you can stay at my house."
"I-I can take a few. I just have to ask my parents. Don't worry, we're right next to Mio's house."
"A pleasant offer, Miss Honda and Miss Hino, but I can have some quarters made ready for your allies within the day.
Please, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Mio will have my number, as will her friends. I will be in touch to inform you when your quarters are ready for occupation.
Before I leave, have you any questions?"
