You blushed as the pink princess rushed at you and nearly tackled you with a hug that nearly felt bone-crushing.
'Why didn't she fight back if she was this strong?!' You thought.
"Thank you, Y/N!" Toadstool said. She blushed once more as she recalled that she sat on your face. "And... can you forgive me for... sitting on you?"
"Princess, I don't blame you, I blame the wet pipe," You said. "Now, can I take off my raincoat? It's rather warm and I'm starting to sweat."
"Oh... Okay and thanks," Toadstool replied.
As you took off the raincoat, Toad asked, "So... care for a tour around the village?"
"Sure, just let me put my raincoat down down somewhere," you answered.
"Let's use my house," Toadstool replied.
===
After you put away your raincoat at Toadstool's house, she and Toad took you around the town around the castle.
There was several stores of various items, a carpenter or two, a construction company, a library, a sporting goods store... and an adventurer's guild.
That last one was surprising, so when it was pointed out, you asked, "Why was that made?"
"A lot of people like to travel, discover things, explore ruins, and deal with various baddies," Toad answered.
"...So the Mario Bros aren't the only ones who fight the Koopa clan?" You asked, liking the idea that you might be paid to travel to places and fighting off bad guys.
"There's a lot of Koops, but the Mario brothers and us tend to be the ones who can only drive off King Koopa when he appears," Toadstool answered. "Thank goodness that he and a large number of his troops are stuck in the banishment zone behind ten thousand bricks. There's no way he can escape."
"Except if he's too stupid to quit and can smash the bricks one by one," you said, making both Toadstool and Toad freeze in place for a moment.
"N... No, that can't happen. No way," Toad quickly said.
"Yeah," Toadstool replied, her tone having a bit of worry in it. "Let's continue the tour."
Toad looked at a watch that appeared on his arm and said, "Oh, jeez. I gotta split. Those reports won't file themselves."
"So... can we go get something I can use as a weapon? I think I broke that tree branch on a Koopa," You said.
"Sure, but let's get something that won't scare my subjects," Toadstool said as she grabbed your hand.
"Like what?" You asked.
===
"A bat?" You asked as you and Toadstool walked out of the sporting goods store.
"Yes. You did swing that branch around like a club," Toadstool answered. "And besides, it's easily repairable."
"Yeah, I guess you have a good point as you put the bat in a back sheath. "So... Why didn't you fight back against the Koopas and Goombas?"
"While I do know some martial arts, it's not befitting of a princess to enter into fisticuffs. What if one of my citizens not in the adventurer's Guild imitated my actions against the Koopas? They could get into some serious trouble!" Toadstool answered.
"Do you have any magic?" You asked.
"I don't have any innate magic, but give me a wand, some space, and a little bit of time, and I can whip up anything!" Toadstool answered with a grin that oozed pride.
You let out a single chuckle before you asked,"So what now?"
