"Right, so she said I was supposed to tell you some stuff too..." Kurisu began, trying to get the others attention.
"Except maybe for this little fella," indicating Cerebus, "you guys probably don't know so much about magical girls, or mahou shoujo. It's rather more complicated than it sounds, and tons more different than what you see." He took a quick pause, trying to recollect something. "Let's start with a quick basis... There are five notable magical kingdoms, as well as four known dark kingdoms. As you guess, the magical kingdoms are good, and the dark are bad. With me so far?" He smiled as the others nodded.
"Now, I won't go in so much in what kingdom's what, ´cause that's a bit overkill and doesn't matter to newbies... Anyway, these kingdoms fight eachother, the dakr and the magical I mean, and mostly employ their own forces to battle. The dark kingdoms have the youmas, as I'm pretty sure you're familiar with. Most monsters you see in mahou shoujo battles are youmas, big, dumb and brainless monsters. However, when the battle between the kingdoms came to Earth, the Magical Kingdoms started employing young girls in their service. No one knows really why, but it is theoriesed that younger girls have a inborn ability for magic, but at a certain age it just disappears. Anyway, so now the Magical Kingdoms were hiring young girls to fight against the youmas, and, as you might've guessed, they were pretty damned successful, nearly making the dark kingdoms extinct. Unfortunantly, with the youma gone, the numerous mahou shoujo had nothing to do... for a while." He trailed off, seemingly because of the topic he'd brought up. "Well, we're here." He said suddenly, lifting his head. "M-Burger." A HUGE building towered up before them. It had only two floors, but still managed to tower over them quite effective. "Let's talk some more as we eat, I'm sure you've got tons of questions."
