Satou Kazuma: Great, just great. My party members are even weirder than usual.
Satou Kazuma: An ancient elf, a rock band drummer, and... whatever Gwenpool is supposed to be.
Frieren: Kazuma, is this what humans call a "party"? It's quite different from what I remember.
Frieren: Though I suppose 80 years isn't that long ago...
Ijichi Nijika: Don't worry everyone! I brought drinks to celebrate our new party formation!
Ijichi Nijika: Just like when Kessoku Band first got together!
Gwenpool: This is definitely not canon, but I'm loving the crossover potential!
Gwenpool: Plus, I bet the fanfic writers are going crazy right now.
Satou Kazuma: What do you mean fanfic writers?! And what's a crossover?!
Satou Kazuma: Are you saying my life is some kind of story?!
Frieren: Well, technically all our experiences could be considered stories from a certain perspective...
Frieren: I've had plenty of time to think about the nature of reality.
Ijichi Nijika: Oh! Does that mean we're like a band, but for adventures instead of music?!
Ijichi Nijika: I can work with that! Let's make this the best adventure party ever!
Gwenpool: And that's how I accidentally broke the fourth wall in a fantasy tavern.
Gwenpool: Don't worry, dear readers - this is about to get way more chaotic!
