Welcome

After a few moments of silence, that was interrupted by a voice that said, "New people from the lower realm?"

When we turned in the direction of that voice, we saw that there were guards that were standing there.

It was only natural that there would be guards here since this was clearly not a place that was naturally formed. This was a square that had been created just for the people that arrived in this upper realm.

Seeing them standing there, I immediately raised my guard.

I wasn't the only one that raised my guard, the others also raised their guards just in case.

We had just arrived in this Sakura Upper Realm, so there was no telling what would happen. There was no way of telling if these guards were friendly or not, or if they were here to capture us for coming from the lower realm.
