-No One's P.O.V-

Pecorine: It's morning! Our delicious breakfast is ready!

Pecorine yells out.

Kokkoro: Good morning, Miss Pecorine.

Pecorine: Hiya, you three!

Karyl: So noisy...

Pecorine: Come, come! Hurry and sit at the table!

Pecorine says as everyone sat down except for you who wasn't there.

Yuuki: Oh? Where's (Y/N)?

Pecorine: Yeah, I haven't seen him since morning.

Kokkoro: Did he go off to get groceries?

Karyl: I dunno. The food's gonna get cold if he doesn't come back sooner.

Suddenly, everyone hears the front door opening and they all turned to see you wearing a white shirt, a towel around your neck, and workout trousers.

(Y/N): Mornin' everyone.

Karyl: There you are, where have you been?

(Y/N): Training and exercising.

Kokkoro: Early in the morning?

(Y/N): Yup. Anyway, I'm gonna go take a cold shower. I'll eat breakfast on my own, okay?

You said as you went upstairs to clean yourself.

-Time Skip-

About an hour passed as all of you went on a quest because of Pecorine. The quest was called "Recruiting help to harvest raw spices in Targum Village. To be rewarded with daily pay plus a full set of spices."

Upon arriving at the supposed location, all of you started gathering wood and other things around the area.

Kokkoro: It's been a long time since the three of us camped out together, hasn't it?

(Y/N): Hehe, so it seems.

Yuuki: Campfire! Exciting!

Kokkoro smiles.

Karyl, on the other hand, was fishing on a small lake.

Karyl: Not a single fish...if I don't catch a fish, there's no telling what they'll make our meal out of! I have to try harder!

Suddenly, the small stick on the water was grabbed to which Karyl took notice.

Karyl: I got one! I got one! I got one! I got one! I got one! I got one!

Karyl pulls her fishing rod out of the water to get the "fish", but...

You couldn't help but snicker upon seeing this, but Karyl heard that.

Karyl: Hey! Don't you dare laugh!

(Y/N): Hehehe, sorry~!

Karyl: You...

Kokkoro: Oh, there are some tasty-looking bugs here.

Karyl: Wait, Koro-ster! I'm about to catch a fish that'll taste even better! Just leave those bugs where they are!

Karyl tells her before going back to continue fishing.

-Time Skip to Sunset-

Hours have passed as Karyl didn't manage to catch one fish in the lake.

Karyl: This lake is useless. There is no fish.

Karyl says with an "I'm done" look on her face until you spoke up.

(Y/N): Hey Karyl, don't you need bait for luring the fishes to your hook?

Karyl: I know, but I don't have one.

(Y/N): Oh? I actually have an idea.

Karyl: What is it?

(Y/N): Use your tail to catch the fish's attention!

Karyl: No way! That idea sounds stupid!

(Y/N): Relax, I once read a comic about a little boy who has a monkey tail to catch a large fish using his tail on a lake.

Karyl: That's not gonna work, there are no fishes.

(Y/N): Actually, there are a few only down there.

Karyl: What?! How is that possible?!

(Y/N): X-Ray vision, helps me scan around the area, even looking through buildings and objects.

Karyl: Ugh!

(Y/N): Anyway, you should try catching one using your own tail. It won't hurt if you try.

You said with a grin on your face as Karyl gives you a slightly angry look on her face until she spoke up.

Karyl: Alright, fine. If this doesn't work, I'm gonna slap you.

(Y/N): Do that and you'll be slapping a hard rock.

Karyl pouts at you. She then places the fishing rod next to her before Karyl gets into a squatting position and moves her cat tail into the water.

Karyl: How do I know this is gonna work?

(Y/N): You'll just have to wait and see.

A couple of seconds passed until Karyl felt something that was pulling her cat tail.

Karyl: I got something! Hyah!!

Karyl then quickly pulls her tail out as she sees a small fish that was biting on her tail.

Karyl: Whoa! I got one! Finally, now I can have cooked fish for dinner!

(Y/N): See? Not too bad, is it?

Karyl: W-Well, I'll give you that, but it's not that I wanted to thank you for that idea or anything...!

Karyl says with a light blush on her face while looking away from her as you let out a chuckle.

(Y/N): Well you're welcome. You can use your tail oftentimes for your survival or something like that.

That's when Kokkoro spoke up from behind you two.

Kokkoro: Oh? Did you catch one?

Karyl: Yup! Now I no longer need to eat bugs for dinner!

Kokkoro: Well, if you say so. At least we'll be making a soup from these wild plants and the frogs my lord caught.

Yuuki: I caught lots!

You, Kokkoro, and Karyl looked over to see Yuuki collecting a lot of frogs in his hands.

(Y/N): Jesus, you caught a lot, buddy!

Yuuki: Hehe~

Karyl: Well that's good, but I'll be eating this fish that I caught!

Pecorine: Hey there!

Everyone turned to see Pecorine holding what it looks like to be a chicken.

Pecorine: I caught a tasty-looking bird!

(Y/N): Welcome back.

Karyl: That's even better!

-Mini Time Skip-

Earlier ago, everyone was beginning to cook their dinner until later in the evening, they all finished cooking their dinner.

Also, everyone was checking out what Pecorine was cooking until the five of you were in awe upon seeing what Pecorine had cooked.

Pecorine: Ta-da!

Kokkoro/Yuuki/Karyl: Oooh!!

(Y/N): Holy freakin' moly! We'll be having chicken for dinner, bois!!

The great aroma reaches Karyl's nostrils until she spoke up.

Karyl: It smells great!

Pecorine: Okay, everyone, the wait is over! Now, eat up!

Pecorine says as everyone gathered around and started eating the chicken until all of you felt delighted to taste the cooked chicken.

Kokkoro/Yuuki/Karyl/(Y/N)/Pecorine: Yum!

(Y/N): This tastes great! Thanks, Pecky~!

Pecorine: Ehehehe, you're welcome~

Karyl: Can poultry really be this juicy? I've never had any like this!

Kokkoro: The vegetables you steamed with it make the taste even sweeter.

Pecorine: Right? I learned that method during my travels. The best meals really do call for proper ingredients!

Pecorine says as you happen to notice the blue frog eating a red berry before swallowing it which raised your eyebrow.

Karyl: You can't use stuff like bugs and frogs for this. Are you two listening?

(Y/N): Hey Pecorine, what kind of fruit is this?

You asked while holding the strange red fruit in your fingers.

Pecorine: Oh, that? I don't know, it's just that I brought it back along with the bird. Go ahead and try some too, Karyl and Yuuki.

Karyl and Yuuki grabbed the fruit and opened its shell.

Karyl: Wow, it smells so sweet!

Pecorine: They're very ripe!

Yuuki: Sweet!

Karyl: Give me another!

Pecorine: There's plenty more. Go ahead and eat your fill! I've never seen that kind of fruit before, but I guess it's a good thing I picked some!

You were about to open the shell of the fruit until Kokkoro grabs your hand.

(Y/N): Hm? What's wrong?

Kokkoro: Look.

Kokkoro points as you looked to where Kokkoro was pointing at. You then see the blue frog who ate the red fruit had fallen asleep.

(Y/N) & Kokkoro: *Shocked faces*

Karyl: (Y/N)~!

Suddenly, Karyl launches herself onto you which caught you off guard.

Karyl: I just wanted to say how you really are responsible!

(Y/N): Uh...Karyl? Is there something wrong with you?

You asked awkwardly with a light blush on your face as Karyl looks up at you and you noticed her tears started to come out of her eyelids.

Karyl: I...I was supposed to be more responsible...for her...

Karyl started crying which surprised you and Kokkoro.

(Y/N): Uh...do you know what's going on, Kokkoro...?

Kokkoro: M-My apologies, but I don't know what's happening...

Karyl: (Y/N), let me rest on your chest!

(Y/N): U-Uh...

Karyl: Thank you so much!

Karyl then puts her head on your chest and continues crying as you awkwardly comforted her until you see Yuuki who was swaying back and forth as if he was dizzy.

(Y/N): Kokkoro, can you...help out Yuuki for a bit?

Kokkoro: Y-Yeah.

Kokkoro then headed over to Yuuki to help him up.

(Y/N): (I-Is everyone around me and Kokkoro got drunk?!)

Pecorine: Hey (Y/N)!

(Y/N): Ahh! W-what?!

Pecorine: Heyyy, don't be shocked about me calling your name, future husband!

(Y/N): HUH?!?!

Pecorine: That's right! I, Pecorine, will become your number one wife!

(Y/N): Slow the hell down, woman! Kokkoro, help me with this!

-Mini Time Skip-

A couple of minutes later, Karyl, Pecorine, and Yuuki eventually fell asleep as you and Kokkoro helped them lay down on the ground with a blanket around them.

(Y/N): *Sigh* Give me a break...

You said as you took a sip from your hot drink that was made by Kokkoro.

(Y/N): Thanks for helping me put them to sleep, Kokkoro.

Kokkoro: You're welcome.

Kokkoro says as she takes a sip from her hot drink.

It was silent for a moment until Kokkoro spoke up.

Kokkoro: You know...

(Y/N): Hm?

Kokkoro: You guys are wonderful. I'm so glad we started this guild.

A smile forms on your face as you let out a small chuckle.

(Y/N): Hehe, yeah.

...

(A/N: That's the first part of episode 6! Stay tuned for the second part!)
