Noriko ending up in another universe entirely had not been expected.
She could survive, sure, despite the weird names of things and the, uh, unsettling frequency of monsters that seemed to delight in nothing more than the idea of chomping on her head or assorted squishy bits. But she was rapidly getting tired of people directing her towards the monsters as if she was supposed to know what they were. Which is how she came to be arguing with a man while holding the leg (antenna? arm? mandible? hard to say) of whatever creature she'd killed for the bounty.
"Look, my guy. You pointed me at the big ugly bug thing, I killed the big ugly bug thing, now's the part where you pay up. Or you get to find out how I killed the big ugly bug thing."
