**[00:01] Noir**
* The Stardia materials shop we'd*
* been planning is finally opening!*
**[00:06] Lola**
Upsy-daisy.
**[00:08] Noir**
W-Wow...
**[00:10] Noir**
That looks like it weighs about 100 kilograms.
**[00:12] Luna**
Lola's stronger than she looks.
**[00:14] Luna**
Though she doesn't realize it.
**[00:27] Lola**
What a lovely shop, Noir.
**[00:30] Luna**
Indeed. There are many rare materials,
so it'll probably be popular.
**[00:34] Luna**
We came here today to help out
with the shop, didn't we?
**[00:37] Luna**
There's still plenty to do.
**[00:38] Lola**
Luna, let go of me! Let go! Noir!
**[00:42] Emma**
I cleaned up the back.
**[00:43] Noir**
Thanks, Emma. That'll help out a lot.
**[00:47] Emma**
Hey, is this for sale, too?
**[00:50] Noir**
Yup. It's one of our shop's top items.
**[00:52] Noir**
That's a sample, so you can all have a taste.
**[01:03] All**
It's delicious!
**[01:05] Emma**
What is this?
**[01:07] Noir**
Sorry, that's a trade secret.
**[01:11] Noir**
* When I ate that golden slime*
* back in the dungeon,*
**[01:13] Noir**
*it turned out to be really tasty.*
**[01:16] Emma**
Hey, by the way,
what's the name of the shop?
**[01:19] Noir**
Well...
**[01:22] Noir**
We talked it over as a family
**[01:24] Noir**
and had trouble deciding
right up to the last minute...

But we went with Tigerson's suggestion.
**[01:41] Noir**
We figured it'd be better
to have our name in it.
**[01:50] Dad**
I finished handing out all the flyers!

Tigey's up front and ready

W-W-Well, should we do it?

Welcome!
**[03:57] Guy customer 1**
Wow.
**[03:58] Guy customer 2**
This is rare.
**[04:00] Woman customer 1**
I could probably use this to make medicine.
**[04:02] Woman customer 2**
This gelatin is good, too.
**[04:06] Dad**
S-So many customers...
**[04:09] Noir**
It's all because you guys
promoted the store so much.
**[04:12] Noir**
Tigerson's doing a great job, too.
***SIGN*** Open
**[04:14] Girl**
Wow!
**[04:15] Kid 1**
It's a lion!
**[04:17] Kid 2**
It's so cool!
**[04:18] Tigerson**
I'll play with you even more
if you buy something inside.
**[04:22] Kid 1**
Really?
**[04:22] Kid 2**
Awesome!
**[04:24] Noir**
Our lineup of merch isn't perfect yet,
but we did everything we could for now.
**[04:29] Dad**
Y-You're right.
**[04:31] Dad**
We worked so hard.
**[04:34] Dad**
This is all thanks to you, Noir.
**[04:36] Dad**
I'm so proud to have you as a son.
**[04:39] Noir**
Father...
**[04:42] Noir**
* I'm the son of a poor noble and*
* lost my job to another noble,*
**[04:45] Noir**
*but I was able to enroll at the Hero Academy,*
**[04:48] Noir**
*and I even saved someone.*
**[04:52] Noir**
*I made a new friend, too.*
**[04:56] Noir**
*A famous noble thanked me...*
**[05:00] Noir**
*And we were able to open up this shop,*
**[05:05] Noir**
*all thanks to my master.*
**[05:12] Olivia**
Hm?
**[05:14] Olivia**
Are you a peeping tom?
You just snuck in here.
**[05:20] Noir**
I guess you figured me out.
**[05:23] Olivia**
I can always tell when you're around, Noir.
**[05:27] Noir**
You're impressive as ever, Master.
**[05:29] Olivia**
What's up? You look all serious.
**[05:32] Noir**
I've come here today to
express my determination.
**[05:37] Olivia**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[05:38] Noir**
I'm going to free you from those chains.
**[05:40] Olivia**
Huh?
**[05:42] Noir**
I'll end this suffering for you.
**[05:45] Noir**
Please allow me to properly thank you.
**[05:48] Olivia**
Noir...
**[05:50] Olivia**
Thank you for even saying that,
but please, don't push yourself.
**[05:55] Noir**
Don't worry. I'm a coward by nature.
**[05:58] Olivia**
Yeah, you're the type of guy that gathers
all the info you can on the girl you like,
**[06:02] Olivia**
then lose her to another guy
before you can confess
**[06:04] Olivia**
your feelings to her, and end up crying.
**[06:06] Noir**
I'm not that bad!
**[06:08] Olivia**
Okay, sorry.
**[06:11] Noir**
*Yeah. I want to see Master smile.*
**[06:21] Noir**
*Answer my query, Great Sage.*
**[06:26] Great Sage**
*As you wish.*
**[06:28] Noir**
*I want to save Olivia of the hidden dungeon.*
**[06:31] Noir**
* How can I free her from the*
* Death Chains without killing her?*
**[06:34] Great sage**
* I believe... the answer can*
* be found on the 15th floor.*
**[06:38] Noir**
*You believe?*
**[06:39] Noir**
*Could you be more specific?*
**[06:43] Noir**
*Ow!*
**[06:45] Noir**
* The more difficult the question,*
* the worse it gets for me.*
**[06:49] Noir**
Still... I have a clue now.
***SIGN*** Hidden Dungeon 14th Floor
***SIGN*** You will now undergo a trial.
If you are alone, go to 1. If another is with you, go to 2.
**[07:09] Noir**
I'm by myself, so I guess I have to go this way.
**[07:23] Noir**
Th-This is, uh...
***SIGN*** No skills allowed
**[07:29] Noir**
* M-Master did say not to push myself.*
* It might be kinda pathetic, but...*
**[07:35] Emma**
I see. So the reason you became stronger
**[07:37] Emma**
is because of the hidden dungeon
and this Olivia person.
**[07:40] Noir**
Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.
I didn't want to put you in danger.
**[07:46] Emma**
So you want to save her
since she helped you out.
**[07:48] Emma**
I'd totally expect that from you.
**[07:50] Noir**
Y-You think so?
**[07:51] Emma**
You're careful when it concerns yourself,
**[07:54] Emma**
but if it's someone else,
you can get pretty reckless.
**[07:57] Emma**
But that's why you have me.
**[08:00] Noir**
Emma...
**[08:01] Emma**
I'll follow you to the ends of the earth!
**[08:04] Emma**
We're the ultimate duo!
**[08:07] Noir**
Yeah.
**[08:10] Noir**
Thanks.
**[08:15] Noir**
"Hidden dungeon only I can enter!
**[08:17] Noir**
Let me train in secret to become
the strongest in the world!"
**[08:26] Emma**
That password just sounds like
you expressing your life motto.
**[08:29] Noir**
It does almost sound like something I'd say.
**[08:41] Noir**
There's probably a monster in here.
**[08:43] Noir**
Let's head in carefully.
**[08:58] Noir**
It's locked.
**[08:59] Emma**
S-Something's coming!
**[09:06] Dwarf A**
Foul giants! Throw down your weapons!
**[09:09] Noir**
L-Let's just see how this goes.
**[09:11] Emma**
Got it.
**[09:16] Dwarf A**
We're starving! Give us food!
**[09:18] Noir**
O-Okay...
**[09:19] Noir**
Here.
***SIGN*** Whoa! What's that?!
**[09:25] Noir**
This is my skill. I stored away
some food in a different dimension.
**[09:29] Noir**
These are called cookies.
**[09:40] Dwarf A**
I-It's so good!
***SIGN*** What?
***SIGN*** Give me a bite!
***SIGN*** Gimme!
**[09:48] Dwarf b**
It's good!
**[09:51] Dwarf C**
It's good!
**[09:54] Emma**
*Disgusting...*
**[09:58] Dwarf B**
Woman, do something funny.
**[10:01] Emma**
Wh-What's that supposed to mean?
**[10:03] Dwarf A**
Oink like a pig.
**[10:04] Dwarf A**
Hurry up and do it!
**[10:10] Emma**
Okay...
**[10:12] Emma**
Oink, oink...
**[10:14] Emma**
Oink, oink...
**[10:16] Emma**
Oink, oink, oink...
**[10:21] Dwarf A**
That's not funny at all.
**[10:24] Dwarf A**
Why are you even alive?
**[10:28] Dwarf A**
Hey! Give us more!
**[10:30] Noir**
Yeah, sure. One sec.
**[10:43] Dwarf B**
My stomach!
**[10:51] Emma**
Noir, what did you do?
**[10:52] Noir**
I Got Creative, made the Poison skill,
and Bestowed it to them.
**[10:55] Noir**
Another result of the skills Master gave me.
**[10:58] Emma**
I see. That's great!
**[11:07] Emma**
You sure had a blast mocking me earlier.
**[11:12] Dwarves**
O-Oink!
**[11:20] Emma**
The next floor is the 15th, right?
**[11:22] Noir**
Yeah.
**[11:23] Noir**
There should be a hint
there on how to save Master.
**[11:32] Noir**
Wait, is this...
**[11:39] Noir**
Master?!
**[11:42] Sign**
Master?
**[11:42] Olivia**
1\an8}The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter*.
**[11:49] Emma**
S-So this is Olivia?
**[11:51] Noir**
I-I'm not sure.
**[11:55] Noir**
I mean, it looks just like her.
**[11:58] Noir**
Master! Can you hear me?
**[12:02] Noir**
We can usually talk using telepathy...

**[12:12] Noir**
Apparently, it sent information from
level 2 and created a copy of Master.
***SIGN*** Free her without killing her and a path will appear
**[12:23] Noir**
It looks like our only choice is to free her.
**[12:26] Emma**
Leave this to me.
**[12:29] Emma**
Wind Strike!
**[12:48] Fake Olivia**
Hey, hey!
**[12:49] Fake Olivia**
Are you the ones who freed me?
**[12:52] Fake Olivia**
Thanks! I couldn't move on my own.
**[12:56] Noir**
Stop acting like Master!
**[12:58] Fake Olivia**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[13:01] Noir**
I know you're the Death Chains!
**[13:05] Fake Olivia**
Aw, I guess you figured it out.
I'm totally shocked.
**[13:09] Noir**
If I defeat you, Master will be freed. Right?
**[13:12] Fake Olivia**
Who knows?
**[13:14] Fake Olivia**
But you know...
**[13:16] Fake Olivia**
I wanted to see how powerful I was, too.
**[13:19] Emma**
Noir!
**[13:21] Noir**
If this recreation isn't complete,
we have a chance.
**[13:25] Noir**
Stone Bullet 40!
**[13:34] Emma**
She's so strong!
**[13:38] Fake Olivia**
I guess it's my turn now.
**[13:44] Emma**
It's so hot!
**[13:44] Noir**
That's Fire Dragon Strike! Be careful!
**[13:47] Fake Olivia**
Take that!
**[13:53] Noir**
I-It's so persistent!
**[13:57] Fake Olivia**
I'm guessing you're about a
Grade B on Dual-Wielded Daggers.
**[14:01] Fake Olivia**
Not that you'll even be able
to scratch me with those.
**[14:06] Noir**
Emma!
**[14:09] Noir**
Are you okay?!
**[14:10] Emma**
I think so.
**[14:12] Fake Olivia**
Okay, get a room, you two.
**[14:16] Fake olivia**
You're pissing me off.
**[14:18] Noir**
O-Oh, no!
**[14:28] Fake Olivia**
Aw, they ran away.
**[14:30] Fake Olivia**
That's no fun.
**[14:37] Noir**
Emma, are you okay?
**[14:38] Emma**
I-I'm fine.
**[14:40] Olivia**
Hey, what the hell?!
**[14:41] Olivia**
You just show up outta nowhere
ready to make out?
**[14:44] Noir**
Master!
**[14:45] Olivia**
Noir, who's that girl?
How could you, when you have me?
**[14:52] Noir**
Emma, this one is the real Master!
**[14:56] Emma**
O-Oh, I see.
**[14:58] Emma**
They really do look alike.
**[15:00] Noir**
Master, this is my precious childhood
friend that I mentioned before.
**[15:04] Noir**
See, we were just on the 15th floor...
**[15:07] Olivia**
I see. So the Death Chains
made a copy of me.
**[15:11] Noir**
Yes. She was incredibly powerful.
**[15:14] Emma**
Olivia, this may be rude to ask you,
**[15:17] Emma**
but do you have any weaknesses?
**[15:19] Emma**
I figure if the fake is a copy of you,
her weaknesses are likely the same.
**[15:23] Olivia**
Emma, was it?
**[15:26] Olivia**
What's your bra size?
**[15:28] Emma**
Huh?
**[15:29] Olivia**
Yours are bigger than mine, huh?
**[15:30] Olivia**
So I won't tell you!
**[15:32] Emma**
Sh-She's really your master?
**[15:35] Noir**
Master, could you just tell us?
**[15:39] Olivia**
But I don't wanna...
**[15:40] Noir**
I'm sure even you must have faced
difficulties in some of your battles.
**[15:45] Olivia**
Maybe, maybe not. I think there were.
**[15:50] Olivia**
And I think it was when I was
fighting in your town, Noir.
**[15:53] Noir**
In my town?
**[15:55] Olivia**
Actually, why not just ignore that thing?
**[15:58] Noir**
Huh?
**[15:59] Olivia**
I'm happy that you're fighting for me,
but you should back down on this one.
**[16:08] Noir**
Why are you so nice to me, Master?
**[16:12] Olivia**
Hm?
**[16:13] Noir**
You gave me your very important set of skills,
and you give me useful information.
**[16:18] Noir**
I haven't actually done anything for you.
**[16:21] Olivia**
Well...
**[16:31] Noir**
Coming down here into
this dungeon and meeting you
**[16:34] Noir**
has greatly changed my life.
**[16:37] Noir**
If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't
have been able to protect Emma.
**[16:42] Noir**
So... I'm going to defeat
that thing, no matter what.
**[16:56] Noir**
I'm going to check
Master's records tomorrow.
**[17:00] Noir**
Then we should be able to
determine the fake's weaknesses.
**[17:05] Emma**
One of my parents' friends is a historian.
I'll try talking to them.
**[17:10] Noir**
Sure.
**[17:11] Noir**
Thanks.
***SIGN*** Opening Soon
**[17:17] Lola**
This is definitely the best!
**[17:19] Lola**
It'd look perfect on this wall right here!
**[17:22] Luna**
Yeah, no.
**[17:23] Luna**
And I don't think Noir would like
your painting staring at him all day.
**[17:28] Lola**
Noir and I have been destined
for each other since our past lives.
**[17:31] Lola**
I knew the moment we met!
**[17:33] Luna**
Yeah, that's a lie.
**[17:35] Noir**
Hey...
**[17:36] Noir**
I just got back.
**[17:38] Lola**
Noir!
**[17:40] Luna**
What's the matter? You look exhausted.
**[17:44] Noir**
Well, you see...
**[17:46] Lola**
Oh! You must be low on LP!
**[17:49] Luna**
In that case, leave it to us.
**[17:51] Lola**
I don't mind taking it all off for you, Noir.
**[17:56] Noir**
Maybe not right now...
**[18:01] Lola**
I just had a great idea.
**[18:05] Lola**
Whisper, whisper, whisper.
**[18:07] Lola**
So I'll be in front and you can be in back,
whisper, whisper, whisper.
**[18:12] Luna**
I see.
**[18:13] Noir**
U-Um, what are you...
**[18:19] Lola and Luna**
Here!
**[18:27] Lola**
This is Lola and Luna's special

**[18:34] Luna**
Don't you just want to gobble us up?

*The cleric Littorine.*
**[19:09] Noir**
* She possesses the Sacrifice skill and*

**[20:05] Fake Olivia**
It's Noir Stardia!
**[20:10] Noir**
Wh-What are you doing here?!
**[20:12] Fake Olivia**
My job is to eliminate any intruders
that come to the 15th floor,
**[20:17] Fake Olivia**
but I don't really care about that anymore.
**[20:20] Noir**
* She copied Master's personality,*
* so she's too uninhibited.*
**[20:25] Noir**
* That must be why she just followed*
* her desires and came here.*
**[20:29] Fake Olivia**
So hey, why do you want to
save your master, anyway?
**[20:33] Noir**
Why wouldn't I?!
**[20:35] Noir**
Being stuck there for 200 years
is just too painful!
**[20:38] Noir**
I want Master to be free!
**[20:40] Fake Olivia**
Well, yeah. She's more than just bound there.
**[20:42] Fake Olivia**
The pain's pretty intense, too.
**[20:46] Fake Olivia**
I make her suffer excruciating pain regularly
**[20:48] Fake Olivia**
and collect information from how she reacts.
**[20:51] Noir**
B-But that's...
**[20:53] Fake olivia**
You mad? Aw, you're adorable!
**[20:56] Noir**
Screw you!
**[21:00] Noir**
* I'll sacrifice Passive Defense, Blinding Light,*
* and Night Vision to create...*
**[21:04] Noir**
*Sacrifice!*
