    I'll sacrifice Passive Defense, Blinding Light,
    and Night Vision to create...
[00:06] Noir
    Sacrifice!
[00:10] (Flashback) Fake Olivia
    Wait, isn't that skill—
[00:11] (Flashback) Noir
    I can do this!
[00:18] (Flashback) Noir
    You're mine!
[00:19] (Flashback) Fake Olivia
    Damn, you're fast!
[00:20] (Flashback) Fake Olivia
    Is that what you thought I'd say?
[00:32] (Flashback) Noir
    This isn't enough for me to... lose!

    It has a lightning attribute?!
[00:48] (Flashback) Fake Olivia
    This is honestly a pain,
    so I'm going to end it now.
[00:56] (Flashback) Fake Olivia
    I win!

[01:05] (Flashback) Olivia

[02:47] (Flashback) Young Man
    Please be my master!
[02:50] (Flashback) Young Man
    Please! I want to be your student!
SIGN    200 Years Ago
[02:59] Olivia
    Wow, that must've taken a lot of guts.
[03:03] Olivia
    But that's such a pain...
[03:07] (Flashback) Oliva
    Yeah, nah. Run along now. Shoo, shoo.
[03:12] (Flashback) Young man
    Please!
[03:13] Olivia
    Aw, his cute, pristine face
    is going to get dirty.
[03:18] Olivia
    But still...
[03:20] (Flashback) Olivia
    I'm terrible at teaching.
[03:24] (Flashback) Young man
    Please reconsider!
[03:25] (Flashback) Young man
    I'll do my best, even if it kills me!
[03:27] (Flashback) Olivia
    Nope. Not happening.
[03:30] (Flashback) Olivia
    End of story.
[03:47] (Flashback) Young man
    Please make me your student!
[03:53] (Flashback) Young man
    Please!
[03:58] (Flashback) Young man
    Please!
[04:14] (Flashback) Olivia
    Why are you so obsessed with this?
[04:18] (Flashback) Young man
    I promised my childhood friend,
    who passed away, that I'd become
[04:22] (Flashback) Young man
    the best adventurer in the world.
[04:24] (Flashback) Young man
    So I'm going to become the
    best adventurer in the world,
[04:29] (Flashback) Young man
    one whose name is known
    even to the heavens.
[04:35] (Flashback) Olivia
    Okay, then. I'll give you
    a chance to be my student.
[04:39] (Flashback) Olivia
    Attack me right now.
[04:41] (Flashback) Young man
    Huh?
[04:42] (Flashback) Olivia
    You can use any means. If you give
    me so much as a scratch, you win.
[04:46] (Flashback) Young man
    Wait, in the middle of the city?
[04:50] (Flashback) Olivia
    You want to be the best in the world, right?
[04:59] (Flashback) Young man
    Here I go!
[05:10] (Flashback) Olivia
    You're terrible at lying, aren't you?
[05:14] (Flashback) Olivia
    You hold your sword entirely too straight.
[05:16] (Flashback) Olivia
    And...
[05:18] (Flashback) Olivia
    Maybe it's none of my business,
[05:20] (Flashback) Olivia
    but you should give up on
    becoming an adventurer.
[05:29] Olivia
    The boy just refused to give up.
[05:32] Olivia
    Day after day... Every single day.
[05:37] (Flashback) Young man
    Could you tell me about goblins?
[05:39] (Flashback) Olivia
    Aw, but that's such a pain.
[05:42] (Flashback) Olivia
    I'm sure even you'd be
    able to take down a goblin.
[05:45] (Flashback) Olivia
    But be careful with iron goblins.
[05:49] (Flashback) Olivia
    Their flesh is super hard,
    so go after their eyes instead.
[05:54] (Flashback) Young man
    I see!
[05:57] Olivia
    Even after a month had passed,
    the boy showed up every day.
[06:02] (Flashback) Young man
    I never thought of that!
    You really are something, Master!
[06:06] (Flashback) Olivia
    Seriously, stop calling me "Master."
[06:09] (Flashback) Young man
    I'm pretty sure I won't be
    able to use that method,
[06:10] (Flashback) Young man
    so I'll just swing around my sword more.
[06:12] (Flashback) Young man
    Thanks for all your valuable advice today!
[06:22] Olivia
    Maybe becoming an actual mentor
    might not be such a bad thing.
[06:31] (Flashback) Olivia
    Barkeep, I'll take the usual.
[06:34] (Flashback) Barkeep
    Olivia, should you be here right now?
[06:37] (Flashback) Olivia
    What do you mean?
[06:40] (Flashback) Barkeep
    Well, your student...
[06:41] (Flashback) Olivia
    What are you talking about?
[06:43] (Flashback) Barkeep
    You haven't heard? Well, he...
[06:53] (Flashback) Girl's Father
    My daughter was attacked by
    a monster, and he saved her.
[06:58] (Flashback) Girl's Father
    By the time I had gotten back
    with the guards, it was too late.
[07:02] (Flashback) Girl's Father
    The monster was the rare iron goblin.
[07:07] (Flashback) Girl's Father
    He stabbed the monster's eye with
    his sword so my daughter could escape.
[07:17] Olivia
    His pristine skin...
[07:19] Olivia
    Such a beautiful face.
[07:22] Olivia
    A face as sweet and calm as the moon.
[07:28] Olivia
    What if I had taught him properly?
[07:32] Olivia
    What if I had actually become his master
    and Bestowed skills upon him?
[07:41] Olivia
    If I had chosen a different yesterday,
[07:45] Olivia
    then a different tomorrow would have...
[07:58] Olivia
    What awaited me after that
    was 200 years of being alone.
[08:05] Olivia
    But then, one day...
[08:09] (Flashback) Noir
    U-Um... You are alive, right?
[08:18] Olivia
    Noir, you looked remarkably like that boy.
[08:25] Olivia
    I may have given you those skills
    just to make myself feel better.
[08:29] Olivia
    It won't change the past,
    and the regrets remain.
[08:33] Olivia
    But...
[08:36] Olivia
    Noir, please... Let me see
    your smiling face again.
[08:46] Noir
    Master...
[08:48] Noir
    Damn it. My body still won't move.
[08:51] Noir
    The effects of Sacrifice are gone now, too.
[08:54] Fake Olivia
    Aw, aren't you going to plead for your life?
[08:57] Noir
    L-Like I'd ever do that!
[08:59] Fake Olivia
    Oh, really? In that case...
[09:01] Fake Olivia
    Bye-bye!
[09:04] Emma
    Run Like the Wind!
[09:13] Fake Olivia
    Ow! What's the big idea?
[09:17] Emma
    Leave Noir alone!
[09:20] Noir
    Emma, what are you...
[09:22] Emma
    I was looking for you.
[09:24] Emma
    I figured we could come up with
    a plan to face that fake together.
[09:28] Emma
    And...
[09:32] Lola
    You're one of my adventurers, Noir.
[09:34] Lola
    You're my precious partner.
[09:39] Luna
    I want to use these powers for others.
[09:46] Leila
    Noir is my rival and friend.
    I can't let him do this alone!
[09:51] Emma
    All right, everyone!
[09:54] Emma
    Let's do this together!
[09:56] Lola; Luna; Leila
    Yeah!
[09:57] Fake Olivia
    Oh? Look at all your cute little friends.
[10:02] Noir
    I appreciate the concern,
    but she's too powerful.
[10:06] Emma
    Everyone's grateful to you, Noir.
    You're always helping us out.
[10:11] Lola
    I became the top receptionist
    because of you, Noir.
[10:17] Luna
    I was all alone, and you let me join your party.
[10:21] Leila
    We captured those phantom thieves together!
[10:24] Emma
    So... at least let us repay you a little.
[10:28] Emma
    You doofus.
[10:31] Noir
    Everyone...
[10:33] Fake Olivia
    Well, aren't you popular, Noir? I'm so jealous!
[10:38] Emma
    She really...
[10:39] Lola
    ...pisses me off.
[10:41] Leila
    Let's knock down...
[10:42] Luna
    ...that confidence by a few notches!
[10:46] Fake olivia
    Hey, you've got a gun?!
[10:49] Leila
    Demon Fist!
[10:55] Emma
    Wind Strike!
[11:07] Noir
    Emma!
[11:10] Noir
    I-I still haven't recovered?!
[11:13] Noir
    Is it because it was a skill attack?
[11:17] Fake Olivia
    Guess I'll have to teach you
    what happens when you butt in.
[11:21] Lola
    The one who's... going to
    defeat my rival in love...
[11:25] Lola
    is me!
[11:31] Emma
    Lola!
[11:32] Fake Olivia
    Yikes, talk about the strength of a gorilla.
[11:35] Lola
    Who're you calling a gorilla?!
[11:44] Noir
    L-Lola! If you do that too
    much, the bridge will—
[11:48] Lola
    Oh, my. I lost my composure.
[11:51] Fake Olivia
    It's no use acting all meek and adorable now!
[11:57] Noir
    Luna! Please heal Emma and Lola!
[12:01] Luna
    Understood.
[12:05] Noir
    Touching that sword is bad news.
[12:08] Noir
    I'll have to use Editor and...

[12:11] Noir
    Destroy!
[12:14] Fake Olivia
    Hey, what's wrong?
[12:17] Noir
    Leila! Now!

    I'm on it!
[12:21] Leila
    Demon Fist!
[12:27] Noir
    Yes!
[12:29] Leila
    Now I've got you!
[12:31] Fake Olivia
    That was a pretty fiery attack!
    Right back atcha!
[12:49] Leila
    I'm sorry, Noir...
[12:52] Noir
    Leila! We have to heal her quickly!
[12:59] Noir

    I'm not afraid of living pathetically.

    I'm basically destined for a pathetic life.

    Then why not run away?

    Th-Thanks, everyone.
SIGN    Noir Stardia
[18:40] Noir
    And so, after defeating the Death Chains,
    I went to see Master.
[18:56] Noir
    There you are.
[18:59] Olivia
    Noir, I'm free now.
[19:05] Noir
    Master...
[19:21] Olivia
    Thank you. You worked so hard.
[19:28] Noir
    Master...
[19:29] Olivia
    Now, now. You're ruining
    that adorable face of yours.
[19:34] Noir
    You must've been hurting for so long...
[19:38] Noir
    Why didn't you tell me?
[19:40] Noir
    Is it because I'm so unreliable?
[19:43] Olivia
    You're just such a sweetheart.
    I didn't want you to push yourself.
[19:47] Noir
    But...
[19:48] Olivia
    But apparently, you're much stronger
    and braver than I thought you were.
[19:53] Olivia
    You're gonna make me fall for you.
[19:55] Noir
    Th-There you go,
    treating me like a kid again.
[19:58] Olivia
    Aw, I wouldn't say that.
[20:02] Noir
    Stop playing with my face, please!
[20:04] Olivia
    But I've been waiting so long to touch it!
[20:08] Noir
    Just a little bit, then...
[20:12] Olivia
    If you hadn't shown up that day,
    I would still be stuck in that room.
[20:19] Olivia
    I might've spent an eternity in there.
[20:23] Noir
    Well, my life changed so much
    because I met you, Master.
[20:30] Noir
    I'm very grateful.
[20:38] Olivia
    Noir, thank you so much.
[20:41] Noir
    That's my line, Master.
[20:52] Olivia
    Squeeze!
[20:53] Noir
    Master, that hurts! Let go!
[20:56] Olivia
    Nope! Don't wanna!
[21:05] Noir's Dad
    Now, if I gamble these earnings at a casino...
[21:11] Noir's Dad
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
[21:13] Alice
    Brother Dearest, are these new?
[21:16] Noir
    Yeah, my friend helped me acquire them.
[21:21] Dryade
    Nory, I hope you come see me again.
[21:28] Elena
    So in conclusion,
    becoming a hero is no small feat.
[21:32] Elena
    You'll need to train not only
    your body, but your mind, as well.
[21:38] Elena
    Make sure you don't slack off!
[21:40] Students
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:42] Leila
    You need to put all of your
    weight into your fists.
[21:47] Leila
    You go like this... then this!
[21:51] Noir
    This move... sure is powerful!
[21:57] Lola
    Noir.
[21:58] Lola
    You need more LP, right?
[22:00] Lola
    Well, in that case...
[22:04] Noir
    Wha—
[22:05] Lola
    Well? How's that?
[22:09] Luna
    Ah, Noir. You must need LP.
[22:12] Luna
    In that case...
[22:13] Noir
    Wh-Wha—
[22:14] Luna
    Mine are pretty big, too.
[22:17] Leila
    Are you some kind of womanizer, Noir?
[22:23] Emma
    Hey, I saw that!
[22:26] Emma
    If you want more LP,
    you should talk to me first.
[22:39] Alice
    Oh, I see.
[22:42] Alice
    So we're fighting to the death
    over Brother Dearest.
[22:46] Alice
    I'll be happy to join in.
[22:57] Olivia
    Did you get back all the skills
    you used for Sacrifice?
[23:00] Noir
    No, not completely.
[23:03] Noir
    I'm going to slowly build my LP back up
    and create them using Get Creative.
[23:06] Olivia
    Way to go, Noir!
[23:08] Olivia
    I bet you're doing all kinds
    of things with those girls.
[23:13] Noir
    M-More importantly, are we
    going to go past the 15th floor?
[23:15] Olivia
    Yeah. when I was captured by the
    Death Chains, I heard its thoughts.
SIGN    Free her without killing her and a path will appear
[23:21] Olivia
    If we break that stone monument,
    there should be stairs under it.
[23:25] Olivia
    I don't know how many floors this thing has,
[23:28] Olivia
    but if you can get to floor 100,
    you might become as powerful as me.
[23:32] Noir
    Right!
[23:34] Noir
    Please wait for me.
[23:38] Olivia
    Look at you, all confident.
[23:40] Noir
    Well, I am your student.
[23:42] Olivia
    Excellent.
[23:49] Noir
    "Hidden dungeon only I can enter!
[23:51] Noir
    Let me train in secret to become
    the strongest in the world!"
