( Io's POV )
When Ena was in a critical situation I thought the sound of an engine was my mind playing tricks on me, but the sounds only got louder and then a car drifted into position next to us.
The door opened and I saw a woman with long blond hair.
???: Quick! Get in.
With the ice barrier that separated us from our enemies being quickly broken, we had to listen to the unknown woman, Ann and Aigis squeezed into the front seat and when Ryuji and I got Ena into the back the blonde woman hit the gas.
Pixie came out of Ena's phone and she helped me heal him but his condition wasn't improving, while I was worried about Ena, Ryuji opened a can of cold coffee and tried to pour it into Ena's mouth.
Io: What are you doing!?
Ryuji: I don't know, this restores magical energy, I thought this would help.
I screamed in annoyance when I thought Ryuji was playing around but he reminded me of the amazing qualities of the canned drinks we had collected, Ryuji poured some of the drink into Ena's mouth, but he spat it out with a cough.
Ryuji:urhg You're supposed to drink that, man.
Io: Give me that.
I took the drink Ryuji had, and I pressed my mouth against Ena's, forcing him to drink the coffee.
Pixie: It's working, Master's wound is closing.
When Pixie confirmed this was working, I grabbed more cans and forced Ena to drink them.
Ann: ...Hey, I think that's enough.
I went through half a dozen cans and didn't think about stopping until I saved Ena but when I leaned over to give him another mouthful, Ann put a hand on my shoulder and stopped me.
I looked down at Ena and saw that he was completely healed, he was asleep, probably an effect of using his unique skill again, but his condition was now stable.
I leaned back in my seat and blushed when I realized what I had done, Ann and Aigis stared at me and while we were silent, Ryuji cuestionó a la misteriosa mujer.
Ryuji: Hey miss, we appreciate the save but where are we going?
???: My name is Kyoko, and we're going to a safe place, my office.
When she said that, in the distance in the middle of a deserted area there was a solitary building, there was no sign of demons nearby so what the woman said about it being a safe place was true.
Upon entering the place we saw that the place was some kind of office, Ryuji put Ena on a sofa and the woman approached him with a cup in her hand, she poured the contents into Ena's mouth, and he immediately started kicking and thrashing around.
Ann: What did you give him?
Kyoko: You said coffee has a healing effect so I gave him a taste of my special blend, and look how he's back on his feet.
Ena was now sitting on the sofa, breathing heavily and with a lost look, I don't know if he was thinking about the near-death experience or if the strange mixture the woman had given him was too strong.
Kyoko: Now, would you mind telling me what you know about our situation?
//////////////////////
( Ena's POV )
When I recovered I began to tell our story to Kyoko, she listened attentively and without interrupting, and when everything was said, she remained with a thoughtful expression analyzing our words, but I also had some questions.
Ena: And what is your story? I don't think you just happened to pass by chance and decided to give us a hand.
Kyoko: You're right, what made me want to go out for a drive was this.
The woman extended her hand and showed a piece of paper, and the contents were basically a rescue request for us, containing detailed descriptions of us and directions on how to find us.
Ena: who gave you that?
Kyoko: Nobody did, that appeared on my case board not long after the building was transported to this location, I couldn't ignore it so I decided to go out and that's how I found you guys.
Ena: Are you saying it hasn't been long since you appeared here?
Kyoko: Correct.
Ena: Didn't you hear anything on the news about our school disappearing?
Kyoko: No, the same earthquake you experienced seems to be what brought me here as well.
Ann: But that happened days ago, how could it have been the same event?
Ena: It's not impossible, we have been finding new and old buildings during our trip and many had signs of having spent a long time here.
Ryuji: Man, what kind of state was the world in after that earthquake.
Hearing Ryuji's comment the girls lowered their heads in concern, Who knows what kind of scenarios were forming in their heads, for me every day that passes I worry more that our old world no longer exists but still.
Ena: Anyway, our goal is the same, but our approach must change, But one thing is clear: if we plan to return to Oni territory or decide to go through another portal, we need to grow stronger.
With some difficulty I got up from the sofa where I was resting and after a few steps I stumbled but Ryuji lent me a shoulder to walk and we move in front of Kyoko's case board.
Kyoko: What's your plan here?
Ena: Every time we had problems, the app gave us what we needed to survive in this world and I think you and this place are what we need now.
I stared at the board and after a few moments a piece of paper materialized out of thin air just as Kyoko described had happened earlier.
Ena: This is our next goal.
What was written on the paper sounded like a mission in a video game like other things in the app and instructed us to find a missing gunsmith.
