Will they be here...I wonder?
[With another intense engagement against the Balmarians looking like it's just around the corner, Seta decides to make a direct request to her allies in the Kijin Realm. Remembering her talk with Princess Teoria, and more recently the new acting commander of Project Unification, she feels that it's only right. The situation is certainly dire enough to warrant it now.

[And half a day later: a stern-looking man in a black coat shows up by Sakihama Base. Despite being the one with the tall and imposing stature, he immediately and humbly kneels before Seta.]

"...You called for us, Your Majesty.
"If I may: to have to make my way here immediately instead of prioritizing the duties to be fulfilled in your stead...we must be on the verge of a truly great battle."

We are.
I have said that the Kijin from that side are not ready to meet with other worlds...not yet. However, out of those I met there, you are one of those I trust the most, Vallar. The same goes for those under your command.
Moreover, you are the fastest to adapt...that is why I require your presence here.
[The male Kijin smiles when he hears this.]

"I am unworthy of such praise.
"As always: we are here, and we await your command."
[Behind the man... are about a hundred white-haired, human-like individuals. They are dressed in blue and gold battle coats - all kneeling before Seta, just like the man who leads them. These are Kijin - lined up like a small medieval army, and even carrying banners to match.
Their numbers aren't exactly impressive compared to other armed forces that will face Balmar's might. But anyone familiar with Kijin would know that gathering even this many is no small feat. The last one to do that was Invicta himself.]
"We answer to the authority of our Holy Empress. All hail Her Divine Majesty."
"-All hail Her Divine Majesty!"
[The Divine Majesty in question suddenly flails.]

...Please keep your voices down...!

"I see. So I am to make an introduction...very well. I have prepared myself for such an occasion.
"I am Vallaris, head of the Kijin Imperial Guard and one of the four Generals serving Her Divine Majesty, Empress Seta. Please call me Vallar. I am 50 phases old, my hobby is disassembling objects, and my favorite food is meat. However, I dislike meat of aquatic nature.
"It is my duty to protect my Empress, but I am also responsible for treating wounds, repairs, logistics and cooking. I am a quick learner. My other tasks include cleaning up after Her Majest-"

-That is enough.

"...But, Your Majesty, is it not proper to highlight all of my responsibilities?"

I said it's enough. Please proceed to the reason you are here.
[Vallar looks disappointed, but complies.]

"We will be providing assistance to Unity Group...no, Project Unification, against all threats that oppose it. Our objective is to protect the Earth and its denizens.
"I understand that the Kijin of our realm may have been your enemies before. But rest assured: this is the case no longer. I am no stranger to the legends of this world, and it is an honor to be fighting alongside all of you."
[He looks over at Seta.]
"...Was that alright?"

[And the response he gets is a thumbs up.]

Yeah, that's close enough. Seta must've told you a lot of stories, right?

"Indeed. That you are a winged knight of silver and red, whose feats and desire to become a hero inspired Her Majesty to do the same.
"She also claimed that you are a handsome, suave gentleman who has a way with words. Many Kijin see you as an idol..."
[He pauses and takes another good look at Izuru.]
"But...please forgive me for saying this: you look nothing like what I imagined."

Ah!
You know how some heroes have a limiter? They can't go around at their full power so unless needed they seal it away, just like a sleeping mode.
It's sorta like that.

"Hmm, just like Her Majesty... I see, the two of you are very much similar."
[And just like that, the bluff was bought. Not like it's completely a lie anyway, right?]

So, umm. This is your first time to Earth, right? Do you like it?

"Yes. However, it is a confusing place, with many rules and regulations.
"Even with my leadership and sense of direction, we were lost for hours before finally arriving here. At times, we were held up not knowing what to do."

[That sounds like Kijin alright...]
But someone helped you in the end so it's fine. I guess.

"We were fortunate that a kind, elderly human showed us the way. We offered to assist her in return by carrying her belongings to her home, and she was pleasantly surprised.
"Either way, missing an important battle by being late would be a waste. Especially against...
