The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses episode 2: A brief recap
The episode started with Toto, Anemone, Ciel, and Gore visiting the local Adventurers Guild of Toskne Town. After registering their party with Toto as the party leader, Gore explained the ranking system to everyone. After Toto passed out, the girls decided to take turns each day to kill him as they kept adventuring.
As Toto woke up, Ciel asked him what his objective was in forming a party, while Anemone and Gore were out looking for jobs. Toto explained that he was looking to gain confidence by killing the Demon Lord. After finding a job, Anemone and Gore returned, and the four of them went to the Cave of Lakes to complete their job.
To kill Toto, Ciel summoned multiple slimes as they entered the cave. However, Toto easily punched and defeated all the slimes and started progressing deeper into the cave. Ciel then combined all the defeated slimes into one huge, monstrous slime. While the slime overwhelmed Toto in the beginning, his scream was enough to vaporize it.
What to expect from The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses episode 3? (Speculative)

The upcoming The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses episode 3 will likely feature Toto's party going on yet another adventure to complete a job so they can rank up. Given the current narrative, someone else will likely take a turn in the next episode to kill Toto but will likely fail.
