[h2]Kino[/h2]

Such an assortment of different individuals, a variety that Kino hadn't ever experienced before. Some of them she had already met, of course, but there were many others of all different shapes and sizes. One of them, the redhead with a spear and ponytail, was staring incredulously at Reinhardt, while a brunette who had almost seemed to crackle with electricity had now transitioned to focusing on the strange, horned woman who had approached.

"Did you make any sales while I was gone, Yu-chan?" she asked. After a moment's hesitation, the small girl behind the counter shook her head. The woman sighed, before her attention returned to the assembled figures.

"Yes, Champions," she began, "This would be the eighth time it's happened, if I'm not mistaken."

"Eighth time?" Kino asked, stepping forward.

"You were all brought here suddenly, weren't you?" the horned woman asked, "From entirely different places? And, to you, this city is abandoned, isn't it?"

She didn't wait for a response before continuing.

"Eight times prior, a set of individuals from across different universes were brought to this city," the horned woman continued, "I've lived here for long enough to see three of those eight times. Each time, it was because she was bored."

"Who the hell is 'she'?" asked the redheaded girl.

"The Viewer," responded the horned girl, "That's what she calls herself, at least, she's never told me her name. I haven't asked, because I already know she doesn't want to tell it."

The woman sat behind the stall.

"You are her latest set of champions. It won't be long before you can see this city's residents, and then she'll arrive to explain the rest."

She paused for a moment.

"... I'll tell you everything I know, though... if you buy some of my food."
