----------------------------------------
the first big mission
----------------------------------------
Sakura looked around and saw that she was in a common room. This was not the situation she had expected to find.
'Where is she?'
Sakura also noticed that Yerin was no longer by her side.
"Ahhh!!" Keiichi came out of the space portal suddenly, surprising Sakura.
*Pah!*
He faced the table.
"Shit! Could you go slower?! Wait-" Keiichi looked around with a confused expression.
'Where is that woman?'
"Eh… are you Keiichi Otake?" Sakura asked with a doubtful expression.
'Who the hell is this girl?' Keiichi wondered when he saw Sakura. 'Maybe she is Sakura Kanami.'

'Where is that woman?'
I didn't expect that woman to send me to this place so suddenly. A common room, nothing more. I expected something more exotic.
'She was so powerful…'
"##***#*##*#* Keiichi Otake?"
'Who the hell is this girl…' I didn't understand what she was talking about.
'Maybe she's Sakura Kanami?'
…
"Hi…" I confess I'm a little nervous. My first impression wasn't so good. Maybe she thinks I'm crazy now?
"####*#*###*#*#*"
'What the hell is she talking about?!' I can't understand anything this girl says.

'What is happening? Why doesn't he answer me?' I'm starting to get uncomfortable.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"You do not understand me?"
"########**#####"
"Eh…"
'How did I not imagine this situation could occur?'
He's from a different planet than mine, so obviously he won't understand anything I say.
"Hahaha! Look at the faces of you two."
I suddenly heard ironic laughter coming from the living room couch. Yes, it was him.
"Yato!!" 2x
-
— 3rd person POV
Yato showed a smile when he saw the angry expression of the two.
"What? Did you really think you'd understand each other?"
"Bastard!" Keiichi used Hell Flame and fired a Fireball at Yato, but the fireball disappeared before it even touched him.
"Come on, don't be so mad."
【Gift of language acquired】
Gift of language: The user can understand and speak all languages.
Keiichi and Sakura listened to the system notification at the same time. They had been given an ability to understand and speak every language there is.
"Now you can talk to each other normally."
"W-Well, my name is Keiichi Otake, it's a pleasure to meet you." Keiichi introduced himself.
"My name is Sakura Kanami! It's also a pleasure to meet you." Sakura squeezed Keiichi's hand.
"Yato, where's that big sister?" Sakura asked. She didn't see Yerin anywhere.
"Well, Yerin has taken care of some problems." Yato lied. In fact, Yerin was on top of her head, in cat form. However, Sakura and Keiichi couldn't see her.
"You didn't do anything wrong to her, did you?!" Sakura exclaimed, with a suspicious expression.
"Hey, Hey, you're making me look like a villain here." Yato defended himself.
"Hmph! That's exactly what you are." She imagined Yato punishing Yerin with an evil smile.
'My imagination is going too far!' Sakura tried to get those thoughts out of her mind.
"Are you jealous? I can put the maid uniform on you too." Yato extended his hand towards Sakura, with a mischievous smile.
"Don't you dare!!" Sakura covered her body with her hands, pulling away from Yato. Her face was completely red.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." Yato said quickly. He didn't want to prolong this joke as Yerin was looking at him with menacing eyes.
'Teacher…'
Keiichi watched this situation with a confused expression.
"Yato, are we going to do a mission? Are we going to another world?" He asked.
"Yes, you will. However; you need to prepare in advance. This will be your first big mission."
Sakura and Keiichi had serious expressions.
"What will our mission be?"
"You will steal an item."
"Stealing an item?!" 2x
"Yes, steal an item. First, I will tell you about a race, the Kraligians."
"Wait! Are we going to fight an alien race?!"
"They are scared?" Yato showed a smile.
【New Quest: Steal the Fire Heart】
Info: The Kraligians found a mystical artifact, called Heart of Fire, steal the item and you will be rewarded.
Reward: 50000 points
stone of ascension
'50 thousand points!!' 2x
Keiichi and Sakura watched the system notification with a serious expression. This mission had a spectacular reward. However, the gains came with risks.
"We need more information." Sakura spoke.
"See this." Yato created a canvas showing a Kraligian. "Those are the Kraligians."
"They look like those Lizardmans from fantasy stories." Keiichi commented.
"Yes… but they give a much greater sense of danger."
Most Kraligians have blue skin with scales all over their bodies. They looked like humanoid crocodiles, Their bodies were strong, and they gave a great sense of danger to Sakura and Keiichi.
"The Kraligians were seeking the Heart of Fire at the request of their King, you must steal this artifact before they deliver it to the King." Yato said.
"And what happens if they give the artifact to the King?" Keiichi asked.
"You die." Yato replied.
"What?!" 2x
"If you find the Kraligian King, you will die. So get the artifact before then."
…
"I know you guys just met, I'm going to create a room for you to learn more about teamwork and train. You'll have a few days of preparation."
"Understood." 2x
They were distressed by this situation, but it was inevitable. Their first team mission was dangerous, and they didn't know each other.
