Letting Everyone Calm Down

After Serkyrio had ordered the three to calm the masses, he also followed along to assist the others. However, he specifically looked for his own acquaintances. Since his acquaintances are connected to the people around, they could get them to listen to his words easily without a hitch. To most of the people, they were wishing to go back to their families but they couldn't even reach their phones. Among the mass of teens and young adults in the venue, there are also children and fully fledged adults that could lead the masses. However, Serkyrio doesn't fully trust that. Adults have a tendency to be completely domineering and forceful using a small facade that speaks of experience due to age, which is why he can't trust those fully fledged adults to lead the path for them.

"Charnet!" He shouted, the girl who seems to be a year younger than him noticed that and turned her gaze at him. She was cosplaying a certain character from an anime that recently went booming in popularity. "Serkyrio, what just happened?! Where did we get transported?" She was panicking slightly, as though there was a lot of things that she left behind at her old place. Her name was Charnet Kaiser, the younger sibling of Serkyrio. Behind her are four of her friends which she had suggested to gather around in front of Serkyrio. She introduced them to him which helped him out as he started to explain the gist of what had happened.

"First things first, we got [Isekai'ed]." Some girls felt somewhat excited while a few of them were really nervous. "We... We can go home right...?" Charnet shakily muttered in worry because of the possibilities of no longer being able to go home and repay her family. "That is not yet confirmed, Arlesk or Remuel are moving out right now to find our lightbulb so he may give us a clue as to when our trip home would occur." Charnet exhaled in relief with the possibility of returning home is still existent. Serkyrio pat her head a little bit before explaining further to Charnet and her friends. Eventually, they were told to help him calm down all of their acquaintances and let them listen to him later once everyone has calmed down. Serkyrio urged them to check their belongings as he brought out his smartphone for example. After that, he left them while helping out more of his own acquaintances.

On the flipside, there was Draxus looking for his other friends that were in dragged into this world. He immediately bolted around the area until he found one person cosplaying as some witch girl. He instantly realized who that person is and called out to her.

"Audrey!" He shouted clearly, the girl was a few years younger than Draxus with a solemn look. Instead of feeling the panic due to the event. The girl looked more on the happier side. "Draxus, I knew you'd be around here." Her soft voice was heard by Draxus, which led to him asking. "You good?" Audrey responded with a smile, "Yep! Finally got out of my family's grasp." Draxus simply smiled and told her the situation. After that, he gave her instructions to gather the rest of their friends and told them to meet him in the direction where Serkyrio is. Audrey crossed her arms and started pondering. "Still... To be [Isekai'ed] along with everyone huh...? What's the plan leader?" Draxus was clearly impressed since he was pretty much a figure of a leader to their group. However, in this situation, they have no choice but to gather around for a while. "For now, we gather everyone and hope that they listen to us." After issuing that order to her, Draxus left the area to look for more of his acquaintances that he could help out. Audrey on the other hand moved to a different direction to look for the most important members of their group aside from Draxus.

Draxus went around to see if he had more acquaintances that got dragged in along with them. Their current location was on a peak of a mountain. It was fairly wide enough to accommodate around hundreds of people who are cosplaying or the audience themselves. However, it was difficult to find a group of acquaintances among them that doesn't stand out at all. After a thorough search, he immediately found a group that were huddling in close. Two girls were happy given that their look had an air of their wish being fulfilled. A couple that were slightly worried with each other while flirting nonchalantly. And another guy talking with a few girls in confusion. Draxus approached the two girls that were having a huge amount of excitement in their minds and called out to them. "Juniper! Pauleen!" The two girls heard that familiar voice and turned their gaze to that source. "Ah! Draxus! You're here too?!" Pauleen was first to call out to the person which got the attention of their other friends. The guy that was on the couple immediately stood in front of his girlfriend while having a wary look. However, Draxus didn't even pay them any bit of attention. "You guys okay?" Both Juniper and Pauleen nodded in response. "Seems like both of you know the gist already so please explain it to the others. I'm gonna look for more of my friends so I'll leave them to you both." Draxus immediately left while waving for the two. The guy that was wary of Draxus muttered something in annoyance. "What the hell is he doing here...?" And clicked his tongue afterwards.

Remuel moved around to check if any of his friends were around the area. He saw some of them moving about while calmly exchanging information between each other. It seems that there wasn't any problem as to their current state so he called out to them. "Guys!" In that group, there were three girls and four guys. "Ooh! It's Remuel! Got dragged in as well?" After giving high fives to the guys, Remuel explained what had happened to his own group.

"As expected, I never thought that we'd get [Isekai'ed] like this." A girl with similar height and aura to Remuel started pondering and looked like she was clearly troubled. "What about going home...?" With a serious look, Remuel tapped the shoulder of that lady. "Don't worry, my group will be researching for a way home." The tall girl was somewhat relieved due to Remuel's comfort. After which, he turned his gaze towards all his friends one by one. "For now, let's try to survive altogether." Their group made a loud noise of shouting a little bit in unison. Remuel led them around to the location where Serkyrio designated to meet later on. He didn't have acquaintances in the vicinity aside from Serkyrio's group which will be collected by Arlesk eventually. So he was pretty much done finding all of his friends within a small time frame.

Arlesk on the other hand had already gone around and told most of their group in the area. Now, he's currently walking around with two of his friends which are cosplaying fictional characters and messing around. "So Arlesk, what do you think will Serkyrio's plan be?" Arlesk pondered for a bit while walking together with those two guys. "Well, for starters, we need to have Harold research ways to open dimensional gates. That way, we can try to find a way home." Harold Cynfael, who heard such a demanding request, sighed out in exasperation. He had features that would allow people to mistake him as a prince from a wealthy country. On the contrary, he boasts intelligence on the level of omniscience. "Guess we don't have any other choice but to learn new stuff eh?" However, his tone doesn't seem to be against the idea by itself. "However, we need somebody that we could gather lots of information from." Arlesk looks at the guy who asked the question. He had a shorter height than both of them and features that could make him like a ninja. He was wearing ninja gear which makes it completely fitting for him. "Geh..!" He realized that he was about to be placed for stupid level difficulty missions in the future. By the way, his name is Jaquinn Naeva, he's the kind of guy with light footing and great communication skills. After some time, the panic had finally started to simmer down without much complication.

Some adults tried to take the lead by making themselves look reliable to the masses. However, as they got swarmed by the huge number of youngsters. They were overwhelmed to the point where they had shouted some unnecessary things. Eventually, many people had gathered around in an organized manner as Serkyrio planned. He was surrounded by people that are numbering to the hundreds but he never felt anything waver out.

"People of Earth, heed my words!" He let out an amazing pressure despite being in a young age of nineteen, forcing the surrounding people to listen attentively.
