Adventurer Stories Episode 1 New Friends, New Foods Pecorine: *munch* *munch* Pecorine: Mmmm! This bread is so soft and fluffy! Cleo: I'm glad the food of this world suits your refined palate. Cleo: We still have plenty of bread left, so you are welcome to have as much as you like. Pecorine: Don't need to ask me twice. Thanks! Forager Mitsuba: Watching her wolf that down really reminds me of—  ???: Mmm, something smells GOOD! Gimme!  ???: My nose says that way! Let's go! Forager Mitsuba: Well, speak of the devils. Yue: I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow! Lin You: And I'm so hungry, I could eat TWO cows! That training really works up an appetite. Pecorine: Well, we'd better fix that! Would you like to share the rest of this bread with me? Lin You: Heck yeah! Wait, who are you? I haven't seen you around. Pecorine: Name's Pecorine. It's nice to meet you! Pecorine: The reason I'm here is kind of complicated, but it's just another stop on my journey to get as strong as I can! Lin You: Seriously? I'm on the same journey! I mean, not literally the same one, but I'm doing the same sorta deal. Lin You: Which gives me an idea: Let's you and me have an old-fashioned duel to see who's stronger! I've been dying for a chance to show off my kung fu to somebody. Pecorine: I never back down from a challenge! Er, normally. But, um... Lin You: Yes? Pecorine: I'm too hungry to fight right now! Forager Mitsuba: You ate like fifteen loaves of bread! How can you still be hungry?! Yue: You're hungry? That's terrible! Yue: Being hungry makes people sad. You two should give her more food so she isn't sad anymore! Cleo: Well, I suppose it would be rude if we permitted a visitor to go hungry... Forager Mitsuba: Yeah, it's pretty poor form for a chef to leave someone unsatisfied. Lin You: Does that mean we can't duel? Boo! Yue: Sure we can—we'll just have a battle to see who can eat the most! Pecorine: You mean...an eating contest?! Pecorine: Now THAT sounds like my kind of thing. Lin You: Then we're on! Don't worry, my stomach has kung fu skills, too! Forager Mitsuba: Man, I'm all fired up now too! Being able to make lots of food quickly is a really important skill for a chef. Forager Mitsuba: You can't be letting your hungry customers sit around waiting too long! Cleo: Yes, it should prove a fine test of our particular set of skills as well. Forager Mitsuba: Then let's all go kick some butt! Forager Mitsuba: Don't hold back now, you three! Eat till you can't eat any more! Hungry Girls: You bet! Forager Mitsuba: Order up, Cleo! Cleo: Understood! I finished preparing the fish— please get them cooked! Hungry Girls: *chomp* *slobber* Hungry Girls: More, please! Cleo: Of course! Right away! Lin You: Nnngh... I can't eat another bite... Yue: Me either... Pecorine: ...... Pecorine: More, please! Cleo: Well, that concludes the contest portion of the evening. Our winner is Pecorine! Yue: Noooo! I can't believe I lost! Forager Mitsuba: I gotta say though, it's the best feeling as a chef to see you guys loving my food that much. Pecorine: You really can't beat enjoying a meal with other people. Pecorine: There was a time I lived all alone and wasn't able to do this kind of thing. Pecorine: So it makes me really happy to be able to share it with all of you. Yue & Lin You: ! Yue: I'm the last of my tribe, so I know exactly what you mean. Yue: I only stopped feeling lonely after I came here. Lin You: Yeah, and I was traveling around the world trying to get stronger before I arrived at this here castle. Lin You: That's how I finally learned how important it is to have people to train with. Lin You: So we've gotta have another eating contest sometime—and next time, I won't lose! Yue: No way! I'M winning next time for sure! Pecorine: Aw, thanks, you two. You're on! Pecorine: So when are we doing this? Tomorrow? I'm actually ready right now if you want. Forager Mitsuba: It's nice to see Pecorine making friends. Forager Mitsuba: At this rate, she'll be pals with the rest of the Halidom in no time. Cleo: That is certainly good news... Cleo: But if these eating contests keep up, we're going to have to mortgage the castle in order to pay our food bill! Episode 2 No Life Goes to Waste Sarisse: Thanks for offering to help me catch our dinner, Pecorine. Pecorine: Ha ha! Don't worry about it. I have to earn my keep, after all. Pecorine: And just because I eat enough for an army doesn't mean others should go hungry. Pecorine: Also, I'm pretty good at hunting because I'm used to catching my own food. Laranoa: Now that's what we like to hear! Laranoa: But do you really think you can hunt better than two sylvans? Our big ears don't let even the smallest sound get... Laranoa: ...by! Laranoa: Ha! Piece of cake. Sarisse: Heh. That's a future chief for you. Sarisse: All right, now it's my turn. Haaah! Pecorine: Whoa! I can't believe you shot down a bird in midair! Pecorine: Guess I'd better step up my game... Pecorine: Now THIS is what I call a haul! Pecorine: That giant man-eating bear thought he got the jump on me, but boy was he wrong! Pecorine: And now he gets to be our dinner. How crazy is that?! ☆ Laranoa: We finished up a lot quicker than I was expecting. Thanks so much for the help! Sarisse: Yeah, and I got to spend the extra time gathering fruit, which was SUPER great. Pecorine: Happy to be of service! Pecorine: Holy wow, you sure like apples, huh? You got a whole bushel sitting there. Laranoa: Oh yeah, Sarisse and her brother, Luca, both love 'em. It's part of the reason they get along so well. Sarisse: We do not! Take that back! Laranoa: Hee hee! Someone's blushing. Sarisse: Yeah, so I like apples. Big deal! I mean, YOUR basket is crammed full of plums, so what's the difference? Laranoa: The difference is that plums are a far superior fruit. Pecorine: If the two of you like apples and plums so much, you can have mine. Laranoa: Really?! Thanks, Pecorine! Laranoa: But you have to let me return the favor. What's your favorite food? Pecorine: Hmm. That's tough... Pecorine: Sorry! Can't decide. I love all food equally. Pecorine: I'll literally eat anything. Monsters, bugs, monsters with bugs on them... Laranoa & Sarisse: MONSTERS?! Pecorine: Oh yeah, you guys all call monsters "fiends" here, huh? Sarisse: That is NOT the part of that sentence we're worried about. Laranoa: How can you eat a fiend?! They're all weird-looking and squishy and...gross. Pecorine: Have you ever actually tried eating fiend? The meat has a really unique flavor if you know how to prepare it properly. It's so nice and chewy and... Fiend: Graagh? Pecorine: Yeah, exactly. See, you're starting to come around! ...Wait, huh? Everyone: It's a fiend! Sarisse: Whew! That thing came out of nowh... Sarisse: Uh, Pecorine? Why are you stuffing a fiend corpse into your bag?! Pecorine: So we can cook it later, of course! If you're gonna claim a life, you can't let it go to waste! Pecorine: Plus, now I can cook some fiendmeat for all of us to share! Laranoa & Sarisse: Ugh... Pecorine: One delicious fiend, coming up! Go on and dig in, guys. Sarisse: I don't eat tentacles, and I ESPECIALLY don't eat tentacles that are still moving. Laranoa: Yeah, this is totally still making noise. Pecorine: Some ingredients are livelier than others. That's just how it is! Pecorine: Now get to eating already! *chomp* Pecorine: Ahhh...delicious. The fiends in your world have a spicy kick my monsters lack. Laranoa: She looks like she's really enjoying it. Does that mean I should...? Sarisse: You can't be serious. Laranoa: Well, she's made me kind of curious— plus, this wouldn't be the first time something tasted better than it looked. Laranoa: Besides, if you really CAN eat fiends, that's something I should know as the next chief of my village. Heck, it could save us from starvation one day! Laranoa: Right then. Here goes... *nibble* Laranoa: ...Whoa. This is actually really good! *munch* *chomp* Sarisse: If you're joking just to make me try this, I swear I'm gonna put a fork in your ear. Pecorine & Laranoa: *munch* *munch* Sarisse: Fine! Fine. I'll just... *nibble* Sarisse: Holy snot, it doesn't taste like snot... It's actually really good! Pecorine: I'm glad you both ended up enjoying it. Laranoa: I can't believe what I've been missing out on all this time! Pecorine: Oh, fiends are full of culinary potential! It's just hard to bring it out. Laranoa: In that case, I've made up my mind! Laranoa: I want you to come to our village and become our head chef! Sarisse: Did all that fiendmeat make you loopy? Not only is she not actually a sylvan, she's not even from this WORLD! Laranoa: Details, details! Talented people are always welcome in my village, no matter where they're from. Pecorine: Aww, thanks, guys. Bring it in! Laranoa: Aaagh! Can't...breathe! Pecorine: Whoopsie! Sorry about that. I was just really happy, is all. Pecorine: It's just so sweet how you'd welcome someone who's not from the same race or world into your village with open arms. Pecorine: You've got such a big heart... I think I love you! Pecorine: And if I can't get back to my world, I know where I want to live! Episode 3 Encounter with a Dragon Pecorine: Draggy-draggy dragoooons! So many different dragons! Gonna meet me a draaaa-gon! ♪ Yachiyo: Whatcha singin' about there, toots? Pecorine: Hee hee! I'm just in such a good mood, I just can't help belting out a tune. This one is about dragons. Pecorine: See, dragons in my world are all like lizards or crocodiles, and I really want to meet one that's different. Vanessa: Yeah, it's pretty great how many different types of dragons we have around here. Vanessa: Heck, Gaibhne and Creidhne actually look like bunnies! They're SOOOO cute! Yachiyo: Always surprises me how you're the type'a dame what bumps gums about cute stuff. Vanessa: Everyone loves cute things deep down. And if they don't, that just leaves more of them for ME to love! Yachiyo: I like a flapper what knows her onions— really makes my socks roll! Pecorine: You have bunny-dragons? I am VERY interested in this. ...*drool* Pecorine: Are we going to meet them today? Vanessa: Nope. We're going to see Roc. She's more like a bird. Pecorine: A bird? Ooh! I'm feeling hungr— Er, I mean, I'm feeling excited! Yachiyo: Yeah, she's the real cat's meow, all right. Just wish she'd get up the moxie what to duel me already. Pecorine: To...duel you? Yachiyo: You know it! My goal in life is to send 1,000 palookas packin' in a duel. Yachiyo: But I got too good at it, see, and now folks bum-rush the exit what before I can even wander in the front door. Yachiyo: Roc seems like a real hardcase, but I'll never know for sure until she lets me give her the business! Yachiyo: ...Say, you seem like a pretty tough dame yourself. Whaddya say you and me go for a round?! Yachiyo: It's gotta be all the way, though—and no hard feelings what if one of us ends up takin' the big sleep when it's over. Pecorine: Well, I won't say no if you're serious. Pecorine: But if I die in battle, promise that you'll turn me into a yummy potluck dinner! Yachiyo: Hot potato, this dame's off her rocker! You really want us to sink teeth into ya?! Pecorine: Of course! If you take a life, you have to honor it by consuming it afterward. Vanessa: I've heard that sort of thing before, but you're taking it to a whole new level. Vanessa: Still, it's pretty impressive you're willing to go to such lengths to be responsible about the stuff you put in your mouth. Pecorine: Oh, I think you're making this out to be a bigger deal than it is. Yachiyo: No, I think Vanessa's aces on this one, toots. I finally get why you take such joy from the ol' chow wagon. Yachiyo: Sorry, but the duel's off. I gotta learn all I can about ya, and I can't do that what if I wrap ya in your shroud. Pecorine: Was that Roc?! Yachiyo: That big buzzard ain't all I heard! Vanessa: It's getting closer! Pecorine: Whoa, that bird is HUGE! Is that Roc?! Roc: Yachiyo and Vanessa? Not the best time to visit, I'm afraid. This foe is tough! Yachiyo: Don't go it alone, bub—let us lend a hand! Yachiyo: Get ready to dance, pal! Blossom Flash! Vanessa: Nicely done, Yachiyo. Now it's my turn! Vanessa: Eat this! Scarlet Geyser! Pecorine: And I'm going to finish it! Pecorine: Time to slice and dice! Princess Strike! Pecorine: Wooo! We did it! Roc: Thanks for the help, everyone. I don't know where that fiend came from, but I really had my hands full with it. Roc: It had already taken out a number of dragons in the area around this lake. Vanessa: So THAT'S why the water looks a bit muddier than usual. I thought it was just my imagination. Yachiyo: Makes sense if the dragon what's in charge of the lake went off to meet his maker. Pecorine: I'm sorry, but what does a muddy lake have to do with dragons? Vanessa: Oh, I suppose you wouldn't know. See, in this world, dragons govern both mana and nature. Vanessa: So if a dragon dies, it has a profound— and often negative—effect on the area where it used to live. Roc: If the dragon in charge of this lake had been killed, this lake would probably have dried up. Pecorine: I had no idea dragons were so important to this world! Roc: Worry not; eventually other capable dragons will come along and govern the mana in this area once more. Roc: The world has worked this way since time immemorial. Roc: Well, it's time for me to go. But perhaps we can fight together again one day! Pecorine: I guess we should head back to the castle. Yachiyo: Why so glum, chum? Ya met a dragon and everything, but a chicken could walk on that lower lip'a yours. Pecorine: It's just that dragons are so important to this world... Pecorine: Which means I can't eat them, even though they seem like wild animals. Yachiyo & Vanessa: ?! Pecorine: *sigh* That bird looked so tasty, too... Yachiyo: So all this business about wantin' to meet a dragon was just so ya could throw it into the ol' stew pot?! Vanessa: Ha! I'd heard you were a big eater, and you do not disappoint. Pecorine: Do you think maybe that dragon sheds its wings like a lizard does with its tail? *sigh* Episode 4 The Meaning of Royalty Pecorine: Ahhh, what a good day... I ate so many different things. Pecorine: I can't wait to see what exciting new food I'll get to try tomorrow!  ???: I'm afraid I must disagree.  ???: Well, I ain't budging! Pecorine: Huh? Who's arguing this late at night? Karina: I'm telling you, I know EXACTLY what matters most to royalty! Nefaria: A dubious boast, churl! Pecorine: What's up, you two? Karina: Huh? Oh, hey, Pecorine. Yeah, so I was just having a fight with ol' Nefaria here. Nefaria: We merely seek concord as to how royalty ought behave and what qualities they must possess. Nefaria: I hold that nobility of spirit must be at the fore—and that a regent must treasure the gladness of one's people above all. Nefaria: A country cannot exist with rulers alone; it claims its title only because of the smallfolk who see fit to dwell within. Nefaria: When a ruler grants boons to a people, they respond with kindness in kind; ofttimes even enough to raise the very dead themselves. Nefaria: I know this well, for it is my own tale. Karina: Yar, I ain't denying that people's happiness is important. Karina: But what you need to keep folks happy isn't will—it's STRENGTH! Karina: The strength to stay free and not bend to the whims of others! Any country that lacks strength is gonna be wearing a yoke around their neck until the end of time. Karina: If a country lacks power, they'll lose everything: Their goods, their pride... and eventually, their lives. Karina: I don't regret choosing to live as a pirate, but if I'd been born a princess with power, my life would have been very different. Pecorine: Hmm, yes. I think I see where you're both coming from. Pecorine: And I have a perfect solution: food! Nefaria & Karina: ...What? Pecorine: You're only fighting because you're hangry, so I'm gonna fill you both to the brim with food AND happiness! Pecorine: Now let's head for the kitchen so I can whip you two kids up some supper. Karina: Hey! Let go of me! Nefaria: How does this scapegrace possess such feverish strength?! Pecorine: Aaaand...there we go! Pecorine: Some nice, hot chazuke—the perfect late-night snack. Pecorine: Dig in! Karina: Say, this DOES look good! Nefaria: T'would be the height of discourtesy to turn down the aliments of another, so... Nefaria: Marry, but this is a wonder! So light, yet so flavorful! Karina: I feel like I could eat a mountain of this stuff. You got any more hanging around? Pecorine: Certainly! Eat as much as you like. Pecorine: It's good to see you two smiling again. That's the power of food! Pecorine: There's lots of things that make people happy, but I think food is number one. Pecorine: Because whether you're rich or poor, good food makes everyone smile. Pecorine: And a country where everyone can enjoy good chow and good times is my ideal! Karina: Yar, that's quite the thought. Nefaria: Indeed, it is most befitting of you. Pecorine: But filling the bellies of an entire country isn't as easy as it sounds. Pecorine: If you want to make it happen, you need both of the things you two were arguing about earlier. Pecorine: You need a noble spirit that cares for your people AND the strength to protect them. Nefaria & Karina: ! Karina: Heh. When you put it that way, it actually makes a ton of sense. Karina: Sorry for getting my pantaloons in a twist about something so dumb, Nefaria. Karina: Hearing people talk about royalty just reminds me of my old life, I guess. Nefaria: Nay, the fault is mine; I permitted my emotions in the matter to run amok. Nefaria: 'Tis a subject strongly associated with the memories I have lost, and I oft find myself overcome by the power of it. Nefaria: Pray forgive my rudeness; I would ever stand your friend. Pecorine: Glad everything's better. Now bring it in! Nefaria: Unhand me, fizgig! Karina: Nnngh! You're squeezin' too tight! Pecorine: I'm so sorry! I was just so happy you made up that I couldn't help myself. Karina: *sigh* You really are one of a kind. Karina: One minute it's like you're not thinking anything at all, and the next you're deeper than the briny blue itself! Nefaria: When you spoke previous of your ideals, it was clear they come from the workings of your daily life. Nefaria: Were you perhaps a woman of noble standing in your original world? Pecorine: I...don't know what you're talking about! Not a clue! Ah ha ha ha...haaaa? Pecorine: Yep! I'm just the perpetually peckish Pecorine—an ordinary girl found hungry on the ground! Episode 5 Her New Home Pecorine: Whoa! There are so many people here! Pecorine: And I get to eat with all of them! Hooray! Elisanne: Yes, His Highness and a number of others left on an expedition a few days ago and only returned to us this morning. Pecorine: They just keep coming... It's wild! Elisanne: We are all pleased to see him well; he is our leader, and the one to whom we all look for support. Mym: Welcome back, my darling! You must be starving. Here! Pecorine: Well, she's rather bold! Elisanne: She's passionate about him, certainly. Enough so that she chose to change her form just to be closer to him. Pecorine: What do you mean? Elisanne: Mym is a dragon— hence the horns and tail. Pecorine: He even has dragons in love with him? Euden sure is popular! Elisanne: True—and I am no different. Elisanne: I became his vassal because I admire all that he is and stands for. Lin You: Me too! Lin You: He taught me the meaning of strength, after all. Laranoa: Learning more about how he thinks has really helped me as a leader. Yachiyo: My life's the bee's knees now, and it's all thanks to the big boss. Yachiyo: I used to live for scrapes and bruises and not much else—but now I know a gal can live for whatever tickles her fancy! Nefaria: I was a suspicious figure without memory or past, yet he welcomed me into his bosom as if I were his own kin. Nefaria: It is a kindness I can never repay. Pecorine: Wow! He's special to all of you... Pecorine: Different things may have led you here, but you all seem to adore and appreciate Euden equally. Pecorine: He reminds me of someone I know... Elisanne: Oh? Who might that be? Pecorine: Someone I met back in my world. Someone very dear to me. Pecorine: He was one of the other founding members of the Gourmet Guild. Pecorine: We formed it with Kokkoro and Karyl— two other friends of ours—but he's always been at its center. Pecorine: Our guild is like a home to me. Elisanne: You truly love them, don't you? Pecorine: Oh, I adore them all! Lin You: Gotta be hard being separated, huh? Laranoa: I hope you can get back to them soon— and we'll do everything we can to help! Pecorine: Thank you! But as much as I appreciate the thought, I'm actually fine. Pecorine: In truth, I think I want to stay in this world for a little bit longer. Everyone: What?! Pecorine: Sure! After all, I haven't gone on a food tour in this world yet! Pecorine: I haven't even been to the Aquapolis or Valkaheim yet—and they're BOUND to have some really unique eats! Pecorine: Going back home without doing that would be a terrible waste. Yachiyo: Sounds just like you, toots. Pecorine: Hee hee! Don't make me blush! Nefaria: I do not believe she was lauding you. Pecorine: Oh, but that's not the only reason I want to stick around a bit longer. Pecorine: I've really taken a shine to this castle. Being here with you all is so nice! Pecorine: It reminds me of our guildhouse back home. Pecorine: This castle is filled with so much warmth, and a person can tell how close you all are just by being here. Pecorine: You welcomed me with open arms when you found me—and I'll always be incredibly grateful for that. Everyone: We're happy to have you! Pecorine: So now it's my turn to return the favor! Pecorine: This is now my second home, and it's all thanks to you!

Trivia

• The events of Princess Connect! Re:Dive take place within a fictional video game called "Legend of Astrum", with the playable cast (including Pecorine) being players of the game. In the real world, Pecorine (whose real name is Eustiana) is part of the "von Astraea" royal family, who have been major investors in the Legend of Astrum game, to the point where the game's main continent was named after them. She was given the nickname "Pecorine" by Kokkoro, and she went by this name until the events of the game's second act, where she started going by her real name after being revealed to be a princess.
