Maybe he should've realized there was something odd about this quest, but Kuroko had never been one to pass on helping people. The space loop had taken frustratingly forever to get his way out of, but his observation skills finally won in the end.
Now he was stuck in the quandary of getting to what looked like a colander grail on the other side of a raging river, only accessible by the thin vine it was tied to. Using his animal magic, Kuroko had theorized he could ask perhaps a bird or a mouse to go across the vines and cut it so he could catch it as it swung, but quickly realized birds were assholes.
So he went with the mouse he'd found, which turned out to be an extremely large and fat rat that was now sitting in his hands. He needed help, though; he was too short to reach the vine, and the trees were too slippery.
Spotting a (hopefully) taller traveller, Kuroko materialized beside them, holding up the rat slightly in his hands. "Excuse me, but I need your assistance."
The Red Spring
The trip had been uneventful, aside from having to walk part of the way because the carriages had forgotten him; they had been very apologetic. He was interested in the odd blend of medieval aesthetic and modern technology.
The springs were lovely, even if he was a bit shy about meeting other people. They allowed him to bathe Nigou who had somehow got covered in sand and he spent some time looking for his teammates.
It was later on that he happened upon the training grounds that he started seriously thinking about magic. Kuroko was concerned about his friends and the state of his world, but if what they were saying was true, this is the only way he could help.
Practicing resulted in little more than wasted effort and it was only after he asked Nigou what he should do and the dog answered that Kuroko realized what was going on.
Unfortunately now he had a little problem; his familiar had left him alone for now, and Kuroko didn't really want to call him for a goose that was refusing to let him move.
He thought he was being polite, asking the goose about his possible magic, but now the bird was just hissing at every movement he made. It made it very clear it wanted to chase him too, so Kuroko just stood in place and stared the bird down while Nigou ran off frantically to bark at someone for help.
