[There's a slightly awkward looking kid waving nervously. He's wearing what's obviously the Seven Titans gear - or at least, obviously to anyone who's seen enough of them around. He also has a slightly troubled look about him... whatever it is that's bugging him, clearly it's been weighing on his mind for a while.]

Uhh... Hi! My name is Wataru and... I'm part of the Seven Titans kind of.

Um, I was wondering... [Geeze this is weird, projecting a message to a bunch of people he's never even met, but...] Did anyone else here... well, did you come here while you were in the middle of something important? 'Cause, well... My friends and I had some stuff to do, and if I don't get back--

[...He'll probably become the Half.]

Well, a lot of really bad things will happen.

We still don't have a clue how to get back or anything? And nobody's found any hints yet?

[Because as neat as this world is, he really, really needs to find a way back to Vision before Mitsuru beats him to the tower.]

[Oh, he's... pretty sure he's seen this lady around before.]

Was it something important?

I think I'll probably try to do that too. I mean, if there's a tower, it has to be meant to climb, right?

[Maybe it'll turn out to be like the one in Vision... Or something.]

I've also been hearing rumors about it all over the city. Something about a wish-granting god... In any case, I'll take my chances. What I had to say was very important. Entire nations will be in danger if—

[ ... ] I'm sorry. It's nothing.

[Well that gets his attention. Er, both of the things she said, but one in particular is pretty relevant to his interests.]

A wish-granting god?

Yes, at the top of the tower. However, it is infested with monsters... Have you gone there before?

No, not yet. I've just been busy with simple jobs around the guild...

Do you know if there's any requirements for getting your wish granted? Besides getting to the top, I guess.

There are none that I am aware of. The journey seems long enough itself.

...You were the one setting up the training equipment?

[Well, that's what he thought about the one back in Vision, too. Still, maybe it will actually turn out to be true in this case?]

...Er, yeah, that was me.

If you are training under the guild, why are they making you do such a thing?

[A sigh.]

That's because I'm too young to join the guild officially, so I have to be a "Rank 0" for a whole month before they'll let me do anything serious.

I've never heard of such a rule, but I've never heard of boys your age fight, either.

[ But she remembers Aladdin. ]

Well, I suppose there was one... But he was a magi.

I didn't really have a choice, but I'm also not the only kid my age who's had to fight there, either.

[Kind of comes with the Traveler territory.]

What's a magi?

A magi is a magician that can use world creation magic! They can make artificial life and dungeons—places that test your wit and strength!

[ looks away ]

I don't go around telling everyone about this, but I was chosen by a magi.

[ SHE JUST WENT AHEAD AND SAID IT, THOUGH ]

Dungeons? Like, going through all these different levels and facinga monster at the end?

[Sorry, sorry, it's the first thing that comes to his mind. But, wait...]

-Er, y-you were? [She was awful quick to say it herself!]

Yes. [ But it's not a monster you face at the end, really... At least his guess was mostly right. ]

... Yes. [ This time, she shifts so her face is more visible. ] Is it so surprising?

[ Are you doubting her? ARE YOU? okay no she just wants to show off and be praised, what a loser ]

S-sorry, I was just surprised you told me!

[But he could definitely believe she had taken on a dungeon. She may look like a princess, but if he's learned anything in Vision, it's that appearances can be deceiving.]

What was the dungeon like?
