The fight was over surprisingly quickly, and Ken was astonished by the ease with which the others had dispatched the giant monster. Then again, the thing was on its last legs by the time Ken decided to lend a hand, so it wasn't too abrupt of an end. Quickly, Ken started looking over the others, evaluating what was happening and how he could provide his assistance. 

The man with the brush was nearly struck by one of the spines, and Ken had to focus on him for a few seconds to make sure that he wasn't hit. He had barely managed to block the spike that was aimed at him by the monster, using the weird ink that he created with his brush. Ken dismissed him as being a possible injured person, moving on to the others.

The girl with the fire sword seemed to manifest a large flame barrier in an attempt to guard another one of the fighters - the fire made it hard to see but judging by her exclamation, Ken assumed she got grazed with an attack. At the very least, she could still respond afterward and the fire was still under control - Ken planned on healing her after the battle was over and the monster incapacitated. The girl that the swordswoman protected was very nonchalant she finished off the spiked monstrosity - and, thankfully, was not injured thanks to the other fighter's actions. 

That final attack caused the monster to rapidly disintegrate into black particles, giving Ken a start. He shouldn't have been surprised, considering this was a monster and shouldn't exist in the first place, but he wasn't expecting it to simply... disappear. That's not how corpses were supposed to work. After the monster fully vanished, a young woman came up to the group and started to speak to them, and Ken listened from his position. 

They were meant to kill these things regularly? Ken really didn't like the sound of that. Well... was he supposed to? Ken didn't know if he counted as one of the fighters that took out the monstrosity - his help was extremely minor, and he was nowhere near as offensively capable as they were. That immediately stopped being a concern as the strange woman continued to speak, however. Killing the monsters to protect people was already something that needed to be considered, but what motivated Ken to join this group of people was the promise of granting wishes. Normally, he'd be completely skeptical about something so outlandish... but he just saw a giant monster gets killed by a group of plucky young fighters and disappear into thin air. 

Ken quickly remembered the girl's injuries, but before he could react, he noticed the sudden absence of his Invisible Hand. His powers were still there, just... weaker again. He might be able to squeeze out a heal, but he hoped the girl wouldn't need it since that would drain him quite a lot. Maybe they would be healed, like that man who was killed by the monster was? That would be the best-case scenario...

Ken considered not introducing himself to the group. After all, they probably would dismiss him for not helping them against the spined monster - the 'Razorback' according to the odd woman who spoke to them. The girl that warped the environment quickly spoke to the other fighters, giving Ken a very good idea. If she was homeless, then Ken could easily squeeze his way into the group by buying her some food or even just giving her the chocolate she asked for. He'd probably follow her once the others left unless someone else capitalized on the situation or tried talking to him before then.
