    Sarah and Lola competed
    in a receptionist battle.
[00:05] Noir
    I wanted my receptionist, Lola, to win,
    so I went looking for rare items,
[00:12] Noir
    and on the seventh floor of
    the hidden dungeon I visited...
[00:16] Noir
    was a rather surprising sight.
[00:26] Noir
    This is the seventh floor?
[00:27] Noir
    I guess someone decided to
    recreate a forest on this floor?
[00:43] Noir
    Wolves?

[01:04] Dory
    I have a request.
[01:30] Noir
    Wh-What is childhood Emma doing here?
[03:10] (Flashback) Noir
    Here's my birthday gift to you.
[03:14] (Flashback) Young Noir
    I picked it because it's the
    same color as your eyes.
[03:19] (Flashback) Young Emma
    I'm so happy!

    I promise I'll get you something

    Dryade?
[03:41] Dory
    Having witnessed how powerful
    you are, I have a request.
[03:45] Noir
    Th-This seems kinda out of nowhere...
[03:48] Dory
    If nothing is done, I'm going to die.
[03:52] Noir
    Huh?
[03:53] Dory
    Please! I'm begging you!
[03:57] Dory
    I'll do anything!
[04:00] Dory
    Peek...
[04:02] Dory
    Hi-yah!
[04:06] Noir
    S-So what're you trying to do there?
[04:08] Dory
    Showing you that I completely surrender.
[04:12] Noir
    I-I'll at least hear you out.
[04:15] Dory
    Thank you so much!
[04:23] Dory
    You see, I'm actually a
    great tree within this forest.
[04:28] Noir
    A great tree?
[04:31] Noir
    Oh, right. A dryade is the
    spirit of a tree or forest.
[04:39] Dory
    My Forest Sensitivity skill allows me to
    spread my roots throughout the forest,
[04:42] Dory
    telling me everything that goes on in it.
[04:45] Dory
    I observed your powers, as well.
[04:48] Noir
    Can you read my memories, too?
[04:51] Dory
    No.
[04:52] Noir
    Then why do you look like a child?
[04:55] Dory
    Just because.
[04:57] Dory
    It just seemed like something you would like.
[05:01] Noir
    I-I'm not exactly... into little kids.
[05:07] Noir
    So what's this request you have for me?
[05:12] Dory
    There's something sucking on me.
[05:15] Noir
    What?
[05:19] Dory
    There's something creepy
    sucking away at my whole body.
[05:25] Dory
    Bad!
[05:26] Noir
    You're messing with me, aren't you?!
[05:28] Dory
    My real body cannot move.
[05:31] Dory
    Some kind of monster is
    taking advantage of that
[05:34] Dory
    to ravish me day and night
    while sapping my mana.
[05:37] Noir
    Ravish?
[05:40] Dory
    If you defeat the monster and save me,
[05:43] Dory
    I'll tell you where the two treasure chests are,
    and how to get to the eighth floor.
[05:49] Noir
    If I can get more rare treasures,
    I can help Lola win.
[05:56] Noir
    But then again...
[06:00] Noir
    I'll need to know more about
    the monster before I agree to this.
[06:04] Noir
    I'm a chicken, so...
[06:06] Dory
    Very well, Mr. Chicken.
[06:08] Noir
    My name is Noir.
[06:09] Dory
    Then... Nory!
[06:12] Dory
    I'm a Dryade, so call me Dory!
[06:19] Noir
    Okay.
[06:30] Noir
    So that's your real body?
[06:33] Dory
    The monster is near the trunk.
[06:39] Dory
    There are monsters called Bronze Bees
    on this level, but that one bee is gold.
[06:45] Dory
    I'm sure it's some kind of mutation.
[06:47] Noir
    It doesn't seem to have any friends nearby.

    Its level is 256. That's four times mine.
[07:10] Dory
    I understand. It was rude of me
    to ask you that out of the blue.

    Thank you for hearing me ou—
[07:19] Noir
    Dory?!
[07:24] Noir
    It's sucking up her mana from her real body!
[07:35] Noir
    A-Are you okay?
[07:37] Dory
    Yes... I feel better now.
[07:43] Noir
    I hate to admit it, but I can't
    defeat that bee right now.
[07:47] Noir
    I can't put my life on the line
    for someone I just met.
[07:57] Noir
    Her real body is falling apart.
[08:00] Noir
    If it stings her just one more time...
[08:04] Dory
    Thank you for hearing me out.
[08:07] Dory
    T-To thank you...
[08:09] Dory
    I'll show you how to get

[08:16] Noir
    She must be so scared...
[08:19] Noir
    And yet, she's smiling.
[08:22] Noir
    I'm a fool...
[08:29] Dory
    N-Nory?
[08:31] Dory
    I'm sorry for troubling you.
[08:33] Dory
    You don't have to worry
    about defeating the mon—
[08:35] Noir
    No!
[08:37] Noir
    I can't leave you alone!
    Not when you're hurting so much!
[08:42] Noir
    Besides, you look so much like her...
[08:47] Noir
    Like my dear friend... when she was little.
[08:55] Dory
    Nory...
[09:16] Dory
    That looks like it hurts.

    Wh-What's the matter?
[10:06] Noir
    I had a breakthrough.
    Could you wait a little while?

    And here it is!
[10:19] Olivia
    The student relying on his

[10:23] Olivia
    I've been waiting for this!
[10:26] Noir
    Th-That's great, I guess...
[10:29] Olivia
    So this bee monster... Golden Bee, was it?
[10:33] Noir
    Yes. It seems like it's pretty powerful.
[10:38] Olivia
    Honestly, I'd like you to just ignore this one.
[10:41] Noir
    What?
[10:42] Olivia
    It'd be extremely difficult for you
    to win this fight right now.
[10:45] Olivia
    I really don't want you to die.
[10:51] Noir
    But I don't have any choice.
[10:53] Olivia
    This isn't like you. What's going on?
[10:55] Olivia
    You fall for the loli tree spirit?
[10:58] Noir
    N-No!
[11:00] Noir
    It's just...
[11:02] Noir
    If I don't save her, she's going to die.
[11:07] Noir
    Plus, she looks just like
    a very close friend of mine.
[11:10] Noir
    If I just let her die...
[11:13] Noir
    I feel like I'd never be able
    to smile at her again.
[11:21] Olivia
    Oh, very well.
    I'll tell you how you can win.
[11:24] Noir
    Thank you so much!
[11:26] Olivia
    But you'd better not die.
[11:28] Olivia
    I'll go all the way to Hell to punch you if you do.
[11:31] Noir
    Y-You don't mean Heaven?

    No way... R-Really?

    She cheated! She totally cheated!

    That's the only way she could've won!

    Do you have any proof?
[20:35] Sarah
    P-Proof?
[20:37] Lola
    No?
[20:38] Sarah
    W-Well...
[20:40] Lola
    I guess not. Unbelievable.
[20:42] Lola
    You can't say I cheated
    if you don't have any proof.
[20:46] Lola
    Anyway, I won, so don't ever steal
    anyone else's adventurers again.
[20:52] Lola
    Especially not Noir.
[20:55] Sarah
    I can't believe this broke my streak...
[21:00] Noir
    D-Don't be so sad!
[21:03] Noir
    Coming in second is great, too!

    Oh, you're the only one
    who understands me, Noir!
[21:15] Noir

    Who're you callin' a demon?!

    Ugh! That's enough!
