The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World

Plot

Rin Takanashi was coming home from a fishing trip when a hole suddenly appeared below her, swallowing her in. She finds herself summoned to another world, but her summoners found her skill to be useless and sent her away. Finding herself in another world, she summons a camping van, allowing her to continue her camping activities. Armed with her new vehicle, she drives around and forms her own party through people she encounters along the way, finding purpose in having a food trip in her new world.

Characters

Rin Takanashi (小鳥遊 倫, Takanashi Rin)

Voiced by: Sora Tokui (Japanese); Kira Vincent-Davis (English)

Known mononymously as Rin (リン). A 30-year-old acupuncturist with a lifelong interest in camping and fishing. She previously worked as a caregiver. After she finds herself in another world, she was dismissed after her summoners deem her unneeded. She gains an ability called Survival, which allows her to identify dangers as well as adapt and survive in environments no matter how rough they are, and the ability to summon a camper van (which she dubs “Campy”) at any time as long as it is outdoors, which her group uses as transportation. Rin can also use it to protect herself and others from monsters and hazards. Though she is a great cook, she is incapable of fighting. She develops feelings for Ville and joins his party so she can get currency and identification.

Campy has its own special abilities: it is bigger on the inside, the contents in its fridge can magically restock, it has an endless supply of water that can magically clean itself after use, and it can turn invisible to those that Rin doesn't know so to avoid drawing unwanted attention. It also runs on magic, not fuel.

Ville (ヴィル, Viru)

Voiced by: Yūki Ono (Japanese); Gabriel Regojo (English)

A handsome ogre with magical abilities that Rin encounters one day after rescuing him from a lake. He is a major glutton and needs to eat a lot. After Rin saved him, he has her join his party and travel together. He also develops feelings for Rin.

Senon (セノン)

Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana (Japanese); Scott Gibbs (English)

An elf who serves as the party's healer. He is also a major glutton. It is hinted that he also has feelings for Rin.
