-No One's P.O.V-

Upon arriving at Landosol, Yuuki, Kokkoro, and (Y/N) Kent were admiring the environment and the people around them.

Kokkoro: We've arrived.

(Y/N): Whoa, this place is really amazing!

Yuuki: Yeah.

Kokkoro: Truly, though, I'm so glad you weren't injured, my lord.

Yuuki gives out a thumb up with a smile on his face until his eyes landed on a woman with a cat tail behind her lower back.

Yuuki: A tail?

Yuuki questions as you and Kokkoro looked at where he was looking as Kokkoro explains.

Kokkoro: She is of the beast clan. In this world, there are humans, elves, beasts, demons, and various other races. Incidentally, I am an elf.

Kokkoro says as she pointed her finger towards her left ear.

(Y/N): That's amazing. Although, I'm pretty sure I've seen and fought beastmen in my world. However, this place that I've arrived in is much different.

Kokkoro: That's pretty nice. Anyway, Landosol, where we are now, is the largest nation on the continent of Astraea and this city is its capital.

Kokkoro explains as she looks around out of curiosity until you noticed Yuuki was sniffing something.

(Y/N): Huh, what are you smelling?

You asked until a good aroma was caught up by your nostrils.

(Y/N): Mmm, is this...Crepe?

You questioned as you noticed Yuuki is heading straight towards the Crepe stall which is a big red tent. Kokkoro happens to notice this as you and her followed Yuuki towards the Crepe stall.

You three were met by a woman with red hair and glasses.

F. Worker: Welcome! What would you like, you three?

(Y/N): Let me see the menu for a bit...

F. Worker: Take your time.

You take a look at the menu at the types of Crepes until you've made a decision.

(Y/N): I'll have the Chocolate, Strawberry for Kokkoro, and Caramel for Yuuki.

F. Worker: Very well!

The worker headed at the back to make the Crepes as Kokkoro then pulls out a sack that is filled with money inside and gives one to Yuuki.

Kokkoro: My lord, here.

Yuuki then takes the coin from Kokkoro's hand as he looks at it for a moment before putting it in his mouth and trying to bite it, which surprised you and Kokkoro.

(Y/N): Whoa, don't eat the coin! It's not edible to eat!

Yuuki: Huh?

(Y/N): Coins are not something to eat. Money is important because you use the money to pay and exchange it for goods from shops, plus you also need to save them too if you have any future plans in your life. Do you understand?

You explained as Yuuki has an awed look on his face as if he acknowledged the information that he is given before nodding in response.

(Y/N): Good. Now you'll learn something in life later on.

F. Worker: Thanks for waiting!

The three of you turned back to see the female worker carrying the three flavored crepes in her hands.

(Y/N): I'll pay for it. Give me the coin.

Yuuki then gives you the coin as you wiped the saliva off using your suit until you hear Yuuki speak up.

Yuuki: Money...important. Learned.

Yuuki says with a thumb up until the three of you grab your flavored crepes and eventually paid the crepes that you ordered.

-Time Skip-

It was now afternoon as the three of you were eating the crepes on the bench.

Kokkoro: It's delicious. This is the first time I've eaten something like this.

(Y/N): Agreed. (Crepes are really good and I even tasted them back in my homeworld.)

Kokkoro takes another bite as a delightful expression appears on her face.

Kokkoro: It's so sweet and the strawberry-flavored sau-

Kokkoro stopped finished her sentence as she had a face of realization and turns her head to Yuuki who was enjoying his Caramel crepe.

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

Kokkoro stood silent as Yuuki only gives her a soft smile on his face as Kokkoro looks away with a light blush on her face.

Kokkoro: Y-You did good well today.

(Y/N): (What the heck was that about?) How was the Crepe, Yuuki?

Yuuki: Ish good...

Yuuki says while eating the crepe in his mouth as you smiled at him because of his delight of tasting Crepe.

(Y/N): I see.

Kokkoro: Anyway, I'll find lodging for us. You two can stay here and rest.

(Y/N): That's generous of you, Kokkoro.

Kokkoro: T-Thank you...

-Mini Time Skip-

The three of you headed to an inn to get some sleep, but...

Kokkoro: What?

Landlord: So sorry, little lady. I've got a business to run, y'know. You're welcome to stay here once you get enough money!

The landlord says with a smile and a thumb up before closing the door in front of you.

(Y/N): Well, that's just great.

Kokkoro: I'm sorry. I didn't realize lodging was so expensive. I'll just have to use this staff my father gave me to-

As Kokoro was about to leave, you grabbed her shoulder to stop her.

(Y/N): Wait.

Kokkoro: What is it?

(Y/N): Rather than just lodging in, I suggest we should start camping out in the woods. It's much better than just lodging in an inn.

Kokkoro thought about it for a moment as she looks at Yuuki for a response, and he only gave her a nod of agreement.

Kokkoro: Well...okay then.

-Tomorrow-

The next day arrives and last night wasn't good. Last night when (Y/N), Kokkoro, and Yuuki were sleeping out in the woods until Yuuki got dragged by the two wolve with derpy eyes.

The wolves quickly dragged Yuuki away, but you immediately stopped them is by turning the two wolves into ice using Super Breath.

Kokkoro: F-Forgive me, my lord! I should have remained more alert while we were camping! At this rate, you'll end up being eaten by a wolf someday...So, I've decided to do some work. In the meantime, you can go have fun, eat delicious food, or do whatever you want. This is your allowance for the day. Here you go.

Kokkoro hands her sack of coins to Yuuki.

Kokkoro: I'll be back this evening. Let's meet up here when I return. Oh, and can you keep an eye on my lord, (Y/N)?

(Y/N): Sure, but-

Kokkoro: But what?

You and Yuuki looked at each other until Yuuki spoke up to Kokkoro.

Yuuki: (Y/N) said "Money important". Money important! Learned from (Y/N)!

-Time Skip-

Later, the three of you went to a guild to go on a quest because of getting more money.

The three of you applied an easy quest which is a collection quest. It requests some mushrooms that grow in the Gado Ruins, which doesn't seem dangerous for newbies.

The three of you accepted it and headed out to the Gado Woods.

...

Upon arriving at the Gado Woods, the three of you were separated into different areas to collect mushrooms.

While walking around to search for mushrooms to collect, you stumble upon a long orange-haired female lying on the floor.

You went up to her aid and knelt down to her level.

(Y/N): Hey lady, are you okay?!

You asked in a concerned voice as the orange-haired female weakly raises her head and looks at you before face-planting on the ground until you hear the sound her stomach grumbling.

???: S-So hungry...

(Y/N): O-Oh...

A sweatdrop runs down on your face.

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, you arrived back to Kokkoro and Yuuki with the orange-haired girl carried on your back.

The three of you cooked her some food as the orange-haired girl started munching them down like an animal.

???: Mmmmm!!! Rice is the ultimate energy boost! You really saved my life!

The orange-haired girl said in both relief and enthusiasm.

???: It was so kind of you to share such delicious food with a stranger! I'm indebted to you forever!

She bowed in a grateful way as you awkwardly laughed before speaking up.

(Y/N): Well...you were just hungry...so you're just helping yourself.

Kokkoro: Um...what brings you to a place like this?

???: Well, actually, I've been away on a journey for certain reasons. I thought I'd visit my homeland, Landosol, since it's been so long but I let myself get too hungry...

(Y/N): And you collapsed through your way here?

???: Yes! How crazy is that? Anyway, what about you three?

Kokkoro: We're here to gather mushrooms.

Kokkoro says as she opens the bag that mushrooms she had collected until the orange-haired lady started to get delighted upon seeing them.

???: Those look delicious!

(Y/N): Feel free to have some, my friend.

???: Can I?! You three must be gods!

(Y/N): Flattered.

Eventually, the four of you put the mushrooms on a wooden stick and heated them up using the campfire as the orange-haired lady started eating them up.

???: By the way, what are your names though?

Kokkoro: My name is Kokkoro and this is Yuuki, he is my lord.

???: Oh, your names are Yuuki and Kokkoro, huh? What about you?

(Y/N): I'm (Y/N) Kent and I'm a Super Hero.

???: Wait, did you say "Super Hero"!?

(Y/N): Yeah, but I came from another world and I ended up here.

???: Ooh, that's amazing! Can you tell me more?!

She says while getting close to your face as you feel uncomfortable at this point.

(Y/N): Well...

Kokkoro: Everyone, in front of us!

The four of you looked to where Kokkoro was looking at and to your shock...

(Y/N): Giant mushrooms!?

Suddenly, one of the giant mushrooms rushes towards you four and goes for a punch, but the four of you dodged it as the orange-haired girl quickly eats the mushroom in her mouth before speaking up.

???: I think they're after me. I'm sorry you three got involved.

(Y/N): What do you mean? We've never seen giant mushrooms in the Gado Woods! I doubt any monster would come here!

Kokkoro: I guess you're right.

Suddenly, Yuuki got in front of the orange-haired girl with his sword out.

Kokkoro: Um...Miss Starving Peckish Pecorine? I'm going to call you that for now. There's no going back now, so let's get out of this together.

Pecorine: I've got a cute new nickname! How crazy is that? But...I'm happy to know you three feel that way!

(Y/N): As much we would like to chat around, but we've got enemies in front of us!

You exclaimed as Pecorine got into a fighting stance as she dodges the attack by one of the giant mushrooms. Pecorine skipped a few giant mushroom heads before jumping high in the air until her tiara starts glowing as smashed her fist down on the ground, creating a shockwave attack, as the giant mushrooms were launched up into the air from the attack.

(Y/N): What the fu-

Kokkoro: May the light's blessing be with you!

Kokkoro casts a spell as a green aura appears around you and Yuuki before the green aura disappears.

Kokkoro: I've boosted both of your speeds. You two should fare much better!

(Y/N): A buff huh? Very well then!

Suddenly, you see Yuuki charging one of the giant mushrooms, but only to get smacked down.

(Y/N): Yuuki!

You then quickly run towards the giant mushroom as you pull your right arm back, preparing a fist.

(Y/N): You leave him alone, you son of a bitch!

You then fired your punch towards the giant mushroom that smacked down Yuuki as it sends the monster to fly away, killing it in one shot.

Pecorine: Whoa! You send one of them flying! I didn't know you were that strong~!

(Y/N): I could say the same thing to you!

Suddenly, you hear Kokkoro yelping as you turn back to see Kokkoro got grabbed by the purple-headed mushroom while the other one goes for an attack is by using its pitchfork to stab Kokkoro.

As you were about to do something, you then noticed Yuuki charges in and uses his sword to block the pitchfork.

Kokkoro: My lord!

https://youtu.be/LGqp-uktNzc

Suddenly, something awakened inside of Yuuki until a glowing yellow aura surrounds him as his aura passes towards you and Pecorine.

(Y/N): Whoa...!

Pecorine: (Y/N), behind you!

One of the mushrooms goes for an attack from behind, but you used your elbow and hit their face before following up with a roundhouse kick, sending the giant mushroom flying.

(Y/N): Kokkoro! Duck!

You yelled as your eyes started to glow red and Kokkoro took notice of this and uses her upper body to duck down to avoid the attack.

That's when you started to use Heat Vision as you fired red laser beams out of your eyes as the beams headed straight towards the purple-headed mushroom that was holding Kokkoro, killing the monster instantly as Kokkoro fell to the ground.

Pecorine: You can shoot lasers out of your eyes?!

(Y/N): Yup!

Pecorine: How cool!

Kokkoro: Just like Lady Ameth's oracle...How divine! This is indeed my lord's unique power, the proof that he is the Princess Knight!

Pecorine: I can feel more and more power rising in me!

(Y/N): Same! I feel a lot more powerful than ever! Did Yuuki do this?

Kokkoro: Yes. Now, let us advance!

Kokkoro then picks up her staff and casts out...

Kokkoro: Wind spirits, lend us your aid!

She casts out a few green wind faires as it began to surround the giant mushroom that Yuuki was blocking its attack.

(Y/N): Thanks for the buff, Yuuki!

You flew up high towards the air as you began to raise your right leg in the air as if you were performing an axe kick.

You then started spinning with your right leg out as you slammed your foot down to the ground as the giant mushrooms were launched up high into the air.

Pecorine: (Y/N), get on your knees! I'll finish this!

You then kneel down on the ground as Pecorine runs towards you, and once she places her foot on your back, she then jumps into the air towards the launched giant mushrooms until her sword shines bright and yelled out...

Pecorine: Princess Strike!!

She spun around in a 180-degree and sliced all of the giant mushrooms in the air, causing a big explosion in the air.

That's when Pecorine started to fall until you caught her in arms during Pecorine's mid-fall.

(Y/N): You okay?

Pecorine gives you a happy grin on her face before speaking up.

Pecorine: That was fun~!

You chuckled as you descended down back to Kokkoro and Yuuki.

-Time Skip to Afternoon-

A few hours later, everyone collected all of the dead giant mushrooms in the center.

Pecorine: What a great haul!

Kokkoro: I didn't expect to get this many mushrooms. Let's get them all in one place and talk to Miss Karin.

Yuuki: Okay!

(Y/N): We're getting loads of money after this!

You said with a smile on your face.

However, while all of you are dragging the dead giant mushrooms, a small mushroom was under the bushes and was angrily yelling.

Mushroom: Damn! I was so close to being able to leech her nutrients! I'll just have to...feed off her directly~!

Once Kokkoro got closer to the small mushroom's range as the small mushroom goes for a bite and yelled out "Dinner time!"

However, it was quickly caught by Pecorine.

Pecorine: There's another mushroom right here! And it's a perfect size!

Kokkoro: Wait! That's-

(Y/N): Huh?

Suddenly, Pecorine eats the alive mushroom which caught Kokkoro surprised while you were confused about what was going on.

Pecorine: These mushrooms are even good raw! How crazy is that?

Suddenly, her face started to turn beet red as steam comes out at the top of her head before collapsing on the ground.

(Y/N): H-Hey, what the hell happened?!

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, the three of you walked back to Landosol with Pecorine carried on your back until you can hear her happily singing about her nickname that Kokkoro gave her.

Pecorine: Peco, peco...Peco, peco...I'm Pecorine...Pecorine...~

(Y/N): Oh dear me...

Kokkoro: She seems quite cheerful. I'm glad it wasn't poisonous.

Yuuki: Ehe.

Kokkoro: (So, that little one has become Miss Pecoroine's flesh and blood...) Miss Puchi-Pecorine...

(Y/N): Heh, that sounds funny.

That's when a question starts to linger in your thoughts.

(Y/N): (However, we haven't asked about this girl's real name...Oh well...I guess I'll ask Pecorine's real name later.)

Yuuki: Kokkoro? (Y/N)?

Kokkoro: Y-Yes?

(Y/N): What's up?

Yuuki stayed silent for a moment before speaking up.

Yuuki: I'll be counting on you guys from now on.

You and Kokkoro were surprised at this before smiling.

Kokkoro: Of course, my lord.

(Y/N): Hehe, I guess my adventure with you guys is really gonna be fun.

Yuuki: Mmhm.

...

(A/N: That's the second part of episode 1! Stay tuned for more!)
