[Opening: The trial begins]
[Synopsis: Roselia arrive at the interactive them park. However Ako has an ulterior motive......?]

[Inside the theme park]

Lisa: Pwhoar! So this is the interactive theme park everyone is talking about~. It's breathtaking seeing it in the flesh isn't it~
Sayo: The cobbled stone paving, brick houses, and a giant water fountain. They went and recreated a whole European town didn't they
Rinko: Strictly speaking it's not European.....but rather they seem to have painstakingly constructed the town based on the concept of a..... fantasy world......
Ako: The park is split up into multiple areas with each area having a completely different townscape built into it!
Yukina: Is it now. Huh? But that person over there seems to be wearing what looks like cat ears.....
Rinko: I think.....that person might be a member of the cast..... the cast act as citizens of the fantasy world
Lisa: Ah, I saw someone like that a second ago! There are also people with lizard tails!
Ako: I saw them as well! It really feels like you've been transported into a fantasy world doesn't it!
Lisa: Yeah yeah, I totally get it! You feel like you're the heroine of a story or something? It's thrilling just wandering around~♪
Sayo: And is that a restaurant over there? I can't wait to see what kind of cuisine they offer
Lisa: What you gonna do when they serve you up a roasted dragon? You'd totally dislocate your jaw trying to sink your teeth into that wouldn't you? Ahaha
Rinko: Then we'll have to go..... enlist ourselves over at that building..... come on girls, let's go.......
Lisa: Huh? Enlist......? What the heck for?
Ako: ......Oh no! Hmm, yeah about that, you see. like how do I put this......
Rinko: Ako-chan...... Did...... you not finish explaining everything to them......?
Yukina: What is the meaning of all this? Ako.....explain yourself
Ako: Well......here's the thing, it's like........
Ako: S.......Sorry! Actually......
Yukina: So in other words this theme park is having a collab event with the game you play. Does that sound about right?
Ako: Yeah that's right~ and if you participate in this event you like get a rare piece of equipment to use in game......
Lisa: Ah~ It's all clear now~ So you just wanted that piece of equipment
Ako: That's right......It's a collab limited rare piece of equipment but it has an insanely powerful ability.....
Sayo: ......*Grunts*!
Yukina: Ako...... You should have told us all of this beforehand
Ako: Uwuu, sorry. I really did intend to tell you everything
Ako: But you were all so excited about it that I didn't know how to break it to you
Rinko: Sorry, I was sure that......you had explained everything.....
Ako: I'm really sorry!
Lisa: Don't worry about it, it's not like it's anything worth apologising for? Besides, this event does look fun so why don't we all join in☆
Ako: Lisa-nee~~~~~
Lisa: Yukina and Sayo, you think so too as well don't you?
Yukina: Yeah, we're already here so there's no point in us just going back home is there?
Sayo: I agree with Minato-san
Ako: For real!? Thank you~~~!! Yukina-san and Sayo-san
Rinko: However.......
Lisa: Huh? What is it Rinko?
Rinko: It seems like.....this event is really difficult.....
Ako: You have to go around the park clearing various missions, but if you fail even once you have to start over from the very beginning
Sayo: I see....... that is a pretty hard condition isn't it
Ako: Furthermore! Since the missions are different every day you can't even get hints from people who managed to clear it!
Lisa: Uwu~ that sounds crazy hard!
Rinko: You barely see anyone using.....the collab equipment in game......
Lisa: Putting it like that gets you all fired up☆ doesn't it Yukina!
Yukina: Sure does. So far we've overcome every insurmountable obstacle blocking our path
Yukina: So this event will be a walk in the park for us, let's do this
Ako: Damn, Yukina-san......you're so cool~~~~~~
Sayo: Let's get a move on Shirokane-san, the limited equipment is waiting for us
Rinko: Hikawa-san.......are you really that desperate for it.......?
Lisa: Ahaha☆ Alright then girls! Let's do this~~~~♪


[Chapter 1: The first thing on the list]
[Synopsis: Off to challenge the first mission. With their first clue in hand the five start gathering up info]

[Inside the theme park]

Ako: That's us all registered for the collab event~! Here's a map for all of you! Ah, Can you hold on to the tablet Lisa-nee?
Rinko: It's pretty impressive..... that they're lending each group.....a tablet
Lisa: The receptionist told us that the missions would be displayed on it didn't they
Ako: Woah! Something popped up on the tablet!
Lisa: Basically we have to do this "Mission" don't we! Hmm it says ......"When in Rome do as the Romans do"
Ako: Huh? Is that all!? What about the other hints!?
Sayo: Doesn't look like there are any others. but I wonder what they mean by "When in Rome do as the Romans do"......?
Ako: Huh? Something else just popped up......What the heck!? "----Time limit: 15 minutes"......?
Lisa: Waaa!? It's already started counting down!!
Ako: Wait, we only have 15 minutes!? I don't even know what were suppose to do~~!
Sayo: Calm down Udagawa-san. Haste makes waste
Rinko: "When in Rome do as the Romans do" ..... So basically Rome represents..... this world.....doesn't it?
Sayo: There's no doubt about it. They did in fact say that this place represents the fantasy world didn't they?
Sayo: If that's the case then it means that we have to act as if we were citizens of this world?
Lisa: I see~. That does seem plausible....... ..... Or rather it has to be it!
Sayo: Udagawa-san. What is the very first thing you would do in this situation when you start one of these kind of games?
Ako: The very first thing you would do in a game is, hmm......
Ako: ......Ah!! You'd talk to the villagers!!
Sayo: I see. Well then let's give that a shot. And if we're wrong we'll just have to try something else
Sayo: Udagawa-san said that if we fail we'll have to start back from the beginning. So basically if we fail we'll start back from zero so that just means we'll have as many attempts as we need
Ako: Oh yeah! That makes sense when you put it like that...... Alrighty then, let's go talk to the villagers!
Lisa: Hmm..... So who exactly are the villagers?
Rinko: Don't you think.......It's probably the people you saw earlier..... The cast members who are acting as citizens of this world?
Ako: Hey, Rinrin! Over there! That person kinda looks like a knight!
Rinko: Ah, there's also a person over there that......looks like a butler. Those people are probably part of the....... cast as well
Lisa: Okay-. Then let's split up and go talk to them! They'll probably be able to give us a hint won't they?
Yukina: Hmm......Lisa? Can I ask you a question...... I don't have a clue what the heck is going on here......
Lisa: Ahahaha...... Well, if you just stick with us you'll be fine! Alrighty then girls, Let's go!
Yukina: Got it.....All I've got to do is not get separated from you

[10 minutes later]

Lisa: There were cast members all over the place weren't there~. So how'd it go for you girls? Get any hints?
Rinko: Nope......nothing much.....
Lisa: Didn't you~, We didn't hear anything that could be called a hint either......
Sayo: Maybe there's a cast member somewhere that we haven't spoken to yet or something.....?
Ako: But I'm sure we basically talked to everyone around here~...... ...... Hnn? Hnnnn? Isn't there anyone in that building? The place that looks like a fruit store
Lisa: Ah, yeah! I couldn't see inside it cause it was dark but it does look like there's someone inside! Let's go check it out!!

[Theme park: Fruit store entrance]

Lisa: Hmm, excuse me!
Fruit merchant: Welcome! How about some delicious freshly cut fruit?
Ako: Hello! We have something we'd like to ask you
Fruit merchant: Well hello there. We'll talk after you purchase something. Please choose a fruit you'd like to buy♪
Rinko: I think this is probably.....a mandatory step we have to take......in order for us to receive the hint......
Ako: Oh OK! I see! Then I'll buy something! ......Wait, what? Is this a price tag.......? It's written in a language I've never seen before.....
Sayo: It must also be a part of the world building
Lisa: Hey Ako!? What you gonna get? If you don't hurry up we'll run out of time!
Ako: Oh yeah! Well then...... I'll go with this apple!
Fruit merchant: Fufufu, silly traveller that's no apple, that's a "Crapple"
Ako: Woah, it's called something mildly different..... Alright then I'll have one "Crapple" please!
Fruit merchant: As you wish♪ OK then little Ako, I'll wrap it up in paper for you. By the way travellers, have you been sight seeing yet? If you do decide to then I recommend visiting the mansion in the center of the town
Ako: Mansion? And by mansion do you mean that......? The building that looks like a castle from a distance
Fruit merchant: Yeah. It's apparently a popular sightseeing spot for travellers. Everyone who comes to this town heads over there♪
Yukina: Huh? The tablet is doing something?
Ako: Woah! Check it out!! It says "Mission clear"!!
Lisa: Way to go!! So this basically means that by talking to the villagers we found out were we have to go next?
Rinko: It really is.....like the first thing you have to do in an RPG.....Isn't it
Sayo: Take a look. We had one minute left
Ako: Woah~~~~ that was a close shave~~!! Like just by the skin of our teeth!!
Lisa: So all the upcoming questions are going to be like this...... Ahaha..... This event isn't going to be a walk in the park is it.....
Ako: Huh? Something else just popped up! It says " Those who are heading towards their destination, obtain an insignia"
Lisa: Insignia......? What the heck is that?
Sayo: I believe an "Insignia" is usually a sign that represents your rank or social position......
Rinko: That's true.... Even in RPGs..... They have items with coats of arms and the likes depicted on them.....
Sayo: However, If you think about it in this context, there's a implication that we need "credentials" to enter the mansion
Lisa: Hnn, can I interrupt you for a second......? It says we have "---60 minutes remaining"~
Ako: Then let's just hurry up and look for the "insignia"! Let's clear the heck out of this one!
Sayo: There's no doubts about it. The limited equipment already has our names on it
Rinko: Hikawa-san......is dying to get......her hands on that equipment isn't she......?
Yukina:  And I still don't know what the heck is going on, well I haven't known from the start anyway......
Lisa: It's totally fine! You've just gotta stick with us! Anyway Let's roll out and look for the "insignia"!!

[Chapter 2: The beckoning paw]
[Synopsis: While searching for clues to their next mission Yukina gets separated from the other girls]

[Theme park: Market]

Yukina: ......
Yukina: And I lost them......
Yukina: For Christ sake, how did I end up like this.....

[10 minutes ago]

Sayo: Walking around on foot like this just shows you how extensive this theme park is doesn't it
Lisa: But where on earth is that "Insignia"? I can't even see any hints of it...... And walking around in circles like this is driving me nuts~
Ako: Uwu~~ I'm like really sorry......
Lisa: Ah, no that's not what I meant! Stop that apologising! We're enjoying our butts off☆
Ako: Thanks for saying that Lisa-nee~~
Yukina: But..... I'm kinda thirsty. I wonder if there are any stores around here where I can buy a beverage?
Ako: Yukina's vocal chords are like the life blood of Roselia! I'll go have a quick look
Lisa: Ah, wait a second Ako!!! ..... And she's gone.....
Lisa: Hnn~~, I'm worried about Ako wandering around alone so I'll tag along with her!
Sayo: Then I'll go take a quick look around the vicinity. I might find some kind of clue
Rinko: Ah, then.....I'll do that as well.....
Yukina: Then I guess I'll just wait here then. I'll probably be fine until Lisa and you girls get back won't I?
Sayo: Thank you very much. We'll be back in a jiffy so just stay put and don't move a muscle
Rinko: See you later......
Yukina: ......Fuu. This event is an even bigger pain in the ass than I imagined......
Yukina: But the view is spectacular so I guess it's not too bad doing these things every once in a while...... Huh?
Yukina: (I thought I just saw a pussy cat down that alley.....And it looked like a breed I've never seen before.....)
Yukina: (I want to............Pet it so hard)
Yukina: Aww..... I never did end up finding the kitty cat...... ............Huh, where the heck am I?
Yukina: The paths are like a maze around here. I swear I've seen that building before...... ..... Huh? There's a little girl over there.....
Little girl: Daddy, mommy......where are you......?
Yukina: Is that little girl......Lost or something?
Yukina: (Poor girl. I guess I can't just ignore her)
Yukina: ......What are you doing here? Where are your daddy and mommy?
Little girl: Uwu.....*Sniff*.....
Yukina: I won't be able to help you if you just stand there crying. Could you please answer the question?
Little girl: *Sniff*......Uwu, Uwuu
Yukina: Why are you even crying?
Yukina: (I'm so screwed. Lisa would be able to deal with this kid if she was here.....)
Yukina: (Do I have anything that would shut up a kid.....Hnn? Oh yeah I do have.....)
Yukina: Meo.....Meow. No more need to cry little girl.....Meow~
Little girl: Ah, the little kitty key ring is talking!
Yukina: I've, I mean...... Little old me.....has come to rescue you. So can you tell me what's happened to you
Lisa: Aah~ there she is! Girls, Yukina's over here~! Jesus Christ Yukina~ Where the heck did you wander off to~? We told you to not move a muscle~
Yukina: Well there were some inevitable circumstances
Yukina: More importantly Lisa, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. Seems like this little girl has gotten herself lost.....
Ako: Eh? Lost kid!?
Yukina: I ran into her by accident but.....I can't get her to talk.....
Lisa: Oh lord, this is bad! Her family is probably worried sick.....
Lisa: This is when you've got to talk to the theme parks staff isn't it. And there might already be a notification about a missing child
Lisa: Hey? Want to come for a quick walk with your big sisters?
Little girl: .....Huh
Yukina: Quit it. Why are you hiding behind me?
Ako: Woah~ what a twist. You'd think little kids would be all clingy towards Lisa-nee wouldn't you
Rinko: Maybe....They're in love with that cat key ring Yukina...... has on her back pack......?
Yukina: This.....Yeah.....This kid seems to like cats
Lisa: And she seems to be glued to Yukina.....even if we do end up dropping her off with the staff I'd just feel bad for her......
Lisa: Ah, so how about we all go find this kid's parents! That way the kid will be able to stay with Yukina!
Ako: Yeah! I agree!! We'll find your parents for you so don't you worry about a thing!
Sayo: OK then, Imai-san and Yukina-san will go look in the center of the area and Me, Udagawa-san, and Shirokane-san will go look over here
Lisa: And Yukina, you better not wander off again♪
Yukina: I'm not stupid. Anyway I told you I had reasons outside of my control.....

[Chapter 3: Oblivious advancements]
[Synopsis: The five girls safely escort the lost girl to her parents. As a thank you they get some unexpected hints.....?]

[Chapter 3]

[30 minutes later]

Yukina: Don't go wandering off by yourself again
Little girl: Yeah! Thanks big-sis!
Lisa: That's a relief. We found her parents. Check it out, Yukina grinning from ear to ear
Sayo: I asked her father and he told me that she went chasing after a rare breed of cat and they got separated
Ako: Did she! Her and Yukina both like cats so that's probably why she got along with Yukina so well
Rinko: Ah, it looks like Yukina-san......is coming back......
Yukina: Her parents were really grateful. and they wanted me to thank you girls as well
Lisa: Huh? What's that you're holding?
Yukina: That little girl gave it to me, it's a flower brooch
Lisa: Woah~ Well aint that freaking adorable! Hnn? There's a cat silhouette painted in the center of it. Way to go Yukina~. It's a flippin cat~
Yukina: ..... Geez. Ah, and it seems like her parents were participating in the event as well but they said they were "Giving up and going home" so take this as well--
Sayo: Is that a.....map? It looks slightly different to the ones we were given.....
Ako: It really does! It has all those weird symbols like the ones I saw at the fruit store!
Lisa: Huh? Check out this part!
Rinko: Do...... you not think that this is what they meant by....."insignia"?
Lisa: It must be! It absolutely has to be!!
Sayo: So in other words, if we go to this location we'll find the...... "insignia"
Lisa: Woah, You're amazing Yukina! You're the MVP!! With this we just got one giant leap closer to clearing the mission!
Yukina: Is that so? I still don't have a clue what's going on but if you're happy then who am I to argue
Sayo: We've got 15 minutes left. Let's hurry up to that location!

[Outskirts of the town]

Ako: Wa~, this place has a whole different vibe to it~. Almost feels like we're in danger or something......
Lisa: Hmm, if this map is anything to go by then our goal should be just around that corner......
Rinko: Isn't it that..... over there? That giant door over there.....
Ako: Woah, that's a humongous door. It's probably even big enough for a titan to fit through?
Sayo: Anyway, let's get a move on
Ako: It's no use~, the door won't even budge~? And the sign has those weird characters on it so I can't even read it..... Maybe we got it wrong or something~?
Rinko: I don't think that's the case Ako-chan..... I don't think there were any other routes for us.....to choose from
Lisa: It's like Rinko's gamer blood is starting to stir?
Ako: Hey! Check it out! Something just appeared on the tablet! Hmm......it says "enter the password" Woah, and a hiragana button just appeared!!
Sayo: I see. So what it's saying is that in order to open the door we need to enter the "Password"
Ako: Yeah~ but, We don't even know the password~. It looks like there are 4 characters then another 4, totalling 8 characters that we have to enter.....
Rinko: Don't give up just yet Ako-chan...... There has to be a hint somewhere around here.....
Yukina: Fuu~. I still don't know what the heck is going on but, let's take a breather. This is all too much for me to handle......
Yukina: Ah, oh yeah Ako, where's my drink? You went to go look for one didn't you.....
Ako: Ah! Oh yeah I did! Sorry about that but.....I never did end up finding one.....
Lisa: Ah! What about that? That apple......I mean "Crapple" you got earlier.....? You could eat that? It's in my bag isn't it.....Ah, got it! Here you go Yukina, one "crapple"!
Yukina: Thanks Lisa. This should satiate my vocal chords for a bit
Sayo: Huh? Can...... I take a look at that wrapping paper?
Lisa: Huh? What is it?
Sayo: There's something written on it. Maybe it's---
Lisa: Ah, there is!! Those weird symbols are written on it!! And on top of that it's 2 sets of 4 characters!!
Ako: WaWoa! That's it! That absolutely has to be the password!!
Lisa: It has to be!! Yukina you're amaaazing!! Thanks to Yukina we're one step closer to making progress!!
Yukina: Are we now? I still don't know what the heck is going on though..... I was just looking for a place that might sell beverages with that map we were handed to at the start
Rinko: Hmm..... But we have.... one problem.....
Sayo: We sure do, Shirokane-san
Lisa: Huh? What problem?
Sayo: What's written here is in those mysterious symbols. However the tablet only has hiragana. You get where I'm going----
Rinko: We'll have to......decipher....those symbols
Ako: Hey look!! We only have 5 minutes left!! We've gotta get a move on!!
Sayo: If only we had something that we could match up the symbols with the hiragana to.... But we don't have that do we.....
Rinko: If at the very least....... we could decipher that sign
Yukina: Hey Lisa. Are we at the "Titan's store" right now?
Lisa: Yeah, we probably are? I mean the door is pretty big so I don't think you're wrong....Wait.....What!?
Sayo: Minato-san how on earth do you know the name of the store?
Yukina: Well I'm not stupid as I look now am I, wasn't it written on the first map we were handed
Lisa: Eeh!? For real!? ......Wait what! It really is.....!! I didn't even look at that map!!
Sayo: Everything on that map we got earlier was written using those mysterious symbols. So if we compare the two maps we'll be able to---
Rinko: To read.....The symbols

[Chapter 4: The maid's challenge]
[Synopsis: The girls arrive at the mansion for the final mission. And some maids appear out of thin air.....?]

[Outskirts of the town]

Lisa: Hmm, so was the password..... "White whale" and "Fishing hook"? .....Alrighty, that's all done! Now to hit send!!
Ako: Woah! The door opened!! .....Check it out! there's something inside!
Sayo: There's no doubts about it this is the "insignia"
Ako: Woohoo---! I got an---- "insignia"!
Lisa: Phwoar!! It says "Mission clear" !! Nice work Ako!!
Ako: Yeah! Rinrin, We're one step closer to getting our hand on the limited equipment!!
Rinko: And we've gotten this far all......thanks to Yukina....
Ako: Could Yukina-san be any more cooler~~♪
Yukina: Phew....I'm kinda beat
Lisa: Ah! something else just popped up! Let me see~!? "Last mission: Get the mansion's party started"
Ako: Ah, for real! Woohoo! Step by step♪
Sayo: No, this is no time to rest on our laurels. There might be even harder missions waiting for us
Lisa: That's true! Well, We don't know what lies ahead but anyway let's head to the mansion!!
Ako: Oh---!

[Inside the mansion]

Lisa: So this is what the inside of the mansion looks like~. The ceilings are so high~. Some quality workmanship went into it
Ako: But how are we suppose to get the party started?
Rinko: Hmm....Someone is waving at us over there.....Isn't that members of the cast?
Ako: You're right! They're wearing super adorable maid outfits!!
Maid 1: Guests. You're awfully late, we were getting sick of waiting for you
Maid 2: So are you here to help us set up the party?
Lisa: Huh......? What do you mean by that?
Sayo: We most likely.....have to do as these girls tell us and prepare for a party
Lisa: I see.....Hmm~ sorry. I don't actually see. Do you understand Yukina?
Yukina: How the heck am I suppose to know?
Maid 2: We'll then allow me to guide you, the first stop is the kitchen

[Inside the mansion: Kitchen]

Ako: So this is the kitchen. There are pots and tableware all lined up, looks like the real deal doesn't it!!!
Maid 1: This is where we'll quiz you on your culinary knowledge. If you answer correctly you'll clear one part of the party's preparation
Maid 2: There are 10 questions in total. If you get even one wrong you'll fail that challenge
Lisa: Eh, all perfect, aint that a bit too strict?
Sayo: Imai-san, there's no point in questioning the rules now. Let's just abide by them
Ako: And our Lisa-nee is a pro at cooking aint she! We've got this in the bag!!
Lisa: Uwu~ Way to pile on the pressure..... But it's just like Sayo said, There's no point questioning the rules.....
Lisa: Alrighty! Let's do this!!
Ako: Lisa-nee is so awesome!! 8 out of 8 questions correct! Just a few more!! Good luck!
Lisa: Hnn, They really ramped up the difficulty with question 9....But......Yeah! I think it's probably B! ......Sorry if I'm wrong!
Rinko: I'm sure you'll be fine.....Imai-san. Believe.....In yourself......
Lisa: ......Yeah, Got it. Alrighty then, I'll believe in my self and the power of B!! Ei!!!
Ako: Woohooo---!! You're Freaking amazing Lisa-nee! Get the next one right and we've cleared the challenge!! We've got the lord on our side haven't we!
Lisa: Fuu~~, that's a relief~~...... I'm about to have a heart attack~......
Rinko: The next question will finally be the......last one won't it.....
Lisa: Ah, here it is. Hmm, the last question~ ....... ...... Wait, what? What the heck is this.......? I don't think.....I know this one.....
Ako: ......Eh? What's the matter Lisa-nee?
Lisa: The question says..... To " Pick the correct method to steaming the most tastiest potatoes"
Lisa: Like it says how long and what temperature to steam at, anyway it's completely anal..... I've never even thought about that before.....
Sayo: Indeed there is no real answer to this question is there. Besides the "most tastiest" is all down to personal preference anyway, so I don't there is a correct answer
Ako: I know right! This is bullshit, bullshit I tell you!
Yukina: No it's not
Ako: Eh.....? Yukina-san......?
Yukina: Even if you have complaints about the question, the rules are the rules. There's no point arguing about them now. You were the one who said that weren't you Sayo
Sayo: Well, I may or may not have said that.....
Yukina: We are Roselia, we've always stood up against and overcome any adversity until now. It's the same with this
Rinko: Yukina-san......
Yukina: Sayo..... You'll pick an answer to this question
Sayo: What me......?
Yukina: It's your job as a guitarist to lend a helping hand to the bassist when their chord progression starts getting messed up
Sayo: ......Ah!!
Yukina: And.... It's a question about cooking potatoes isn't it? ..... There's no one else here who is fit to answer it
Everyone: .............
Lisa: Hmm.....Yukina.....? "Steamed potatoes" and "French fries" ...... Are completely different things.....
Yukina: A cooked potato is a cooked potato. They're basically the same thing
Lisa: Yeah, but it doesn't work like that---
Sayo: I'll be fine......Imai-san. I'll.....Answer it
Lisa: Eeeeh!? You're like all fired up.....!
Sayo: I'm the only one who can save you when you're in need
Ako: Rinrin! We've got no choice now but to put all our faith in Sayo-san
Rinko: Do it for us......Hikawa-san......
Sayo: I'll...... definitely get my hands on that limited equipment
Yukina: Now that's what I call a smile.....
Rinko: So.....She did want it after all.....
Sayo: Wait for me my precious limited equipment...... The correct answer is......this one!!

[Chapter 5: Satan's watching over Roselia]
[Synopsis: Thanks to some great work from Sayo and Lisa they've cleared the first challenge. Ako is full of beans to be put in charge of the following one]

[Inside the mansion: Hallway]

Ako: Sayo-san was freaking amazing!! She answered it correctly like a champ didn't she!!
Lisa: I know right! We've just got the X-factor haven't we☆
Maid 1: Sorry to bust your bubble but here's the next challenge
Sayo: There's loads of doors in this hallway...... So what is the challenge?
Maid 2: One of these doors is the library which connects to the party room. The challenge is to pick the correct door
Ako: Oh, is that all! That's a piece of cake! Cause all we gotta do is pick one don't we!?
Maid 1: But you only have 2 chances. If you don't get it correct in those 2 chances you fail the challenge
Lisa: Eh? Just 2!? But there's like 20 doors here?
Lisa: Uwu~, this is a toughie.....Well, the rules are rules or whatever
Yukina: You're up next Ako.....You have to pick one
Ako: Eh!? Me!? Why me of all people!?
Yukina: When you first wanted to join a band you picked Roselia out of all the other bands who performed at the live house
Yukina: You weren't mistaken with what you saw...... I'm sure you will pick the correct one.....Or am I mistaken?
Ako: Yukina-san.......!
Lisa: She's right..... I agree with Yukina. Do this for us Ako!
Ako: Humuu~~~~ Well if you really think so..... I'll have no choice but to give it my all!!
Rinko: Good luck......Ako-chan
Ako: Yeah! I won't let you down Rinrin! Cause I'll definitely pick the correct door!!
Ako: *Inhale~~*.......*Exhale~~~*......
Ako: Awaken, my slumbering jet black evil eye that gazed into the abyss.....Now is the time to see the cruel reality......and like.....Something or other.....with a bang......and locate it for me~~~~!!
Ako: (Lend me your powers Onee-chan.....!!)
Ako: ............Ah!!
Ako: I saw it! It's this one~! Soiya--------!!

[Inside the mansion: Reception room]

Rinko: You were amazing.....Ako-chan......Really......Cool......
Ako: I know right~~! It's was like~, I felt like I could see one of the doors shining!
Lisa: But aint that unbelievable how you got it correct on the first shot!? Maybe you really did unleash that sleeping power you have!!
Ako: I think so too!!
Maid 2: Congratulations. You've finally reached the last challenge
Maid 1: You're the first guests to have reach it this far today
Ako: Eh, for real!? Don't we kinda like have the lord on our side!? Or maybe someone even cooler!! Like Satan himself is watching over us!!
Sayo: I'm not quite sure about that but, What on earth is this.....? There's one giant table in the center of the room..... They did say it was the last challenge but still.....
Ako: Ah, There's some tableware on the table! Like the kinda stuff you find at a french restaurant!!
Lisa: Wa, Something popped up on the tablet!? What the heck.....? Something that looks like a menu cover is on the screen.....
Rinko: It has..... "Today's course" written on it......doesn't it
Maid 2: Well then, this is your final challenge. Good luck
Ako: Eh? What the heck?? The maids have left the room.....!!
Lisa: "----Time limit: 10 minutes" What the heck, what does that even mean!? I don't even know!!
Ako: The final challenge has already begun!? But I don't even have a clue what we're suppose to do!!
Sayo: For starters let's calm down. Especially you Imai-san. You're the foundation of Roselia. If you crumble then we all crumble to pieces along with you
Lisa: Yeah, you're right......!
Sayo: Fufu
Lisa: Hmm, so. Shall we......start off by investigating the room? Just like everything else today I think there might be some kind of hint somewhere
Ako: Yeah got it! Alright then I'll look in the back of the room! Rinrin you go look over there!!
Rinko: Good luck with the final challenge......Ako-chan......
Sayo: Let's all look around the room together
Lisa: OK!
Yukina: Hey Lisa? What should I do?
Lisa: How about you.....Investigate the table
Yukina: Got it

[5 minutes later]

Lisa: Hey Sayo! How's it going over there!? I haven't found anything here.....
Sayo: There's nothing out of the ordinary here either
Ako: I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary where I'm looking either.....Just a bunch of extra tableware
Rinko: .....Huh? Ako-chan.....? You found extra tableware.....?
Ako: Yeah, see. In this box I found over here
Rinko: Don't you think.....that's what we've been looking for.....?
Ako: Huh? What do you mean?
Rinko: Hmm.....Yukina-san.....
Yukina: What is it Rinko?
Rinko: Please take a close looks at the tableware...... in front of you.....There might be something
Yukina: This tableware....? I don't think I see anything wrong with it though...... ......Oh?
Lisa: Eh!? What is it Yukina!?
Yukina: All this tableware...... has cracks in them......
Everyone: ............Huh!!

[Ending: From:Zero]
[Synopsis: Thanks to Rinko sudden realisation the 5 girls are heading in the right direction with the challenge. However there's something they're missing in order to clear it--]

[Inside the mansion: Reception room]

Sayo: This plate over here is also cracked. Let's replace that with a new one as well.....
Lisa: So that's 3 plates and 2 glasses right!? OK! I'll bring them right over!!
Ako: You're so amazing Rinrin!! You knew the answer to this tough question! We have to be right with this!!
Rinko: No.....You're the one who.....found the extra set of tableware so...... I don't think I would have figured it out.....without you finding them
Lisa: I see~. So the last challenge was to re-set the table with tableware that didn't have cracks in it
Sayo: That's right, even if the tableware is arranged neatly you can't start a party with cracked tableware
Lisa: If so.....all that's left to do is to replace this soup bowl with one that isn't cracked--
Ako: Woohoo! And we're done!
Lisa: Woah~ That was close~. Right down to the last few minutes! And now we wait for the "Mission clear" to pop up on the tablet.....
Sayo: ......Huh? Nothing's coming up is it
Ako: But why!? But we replaced all the cracked tableware with new ones!?
Rinko: I wonder.....If that means.....There's still something left to replace?
Lisa: Wait seriously!? But we've only got like 1 minute left!!
Yukina: What is the meaning of this?
Ako: It means that we're still missing something! We won't be able to clear the mission!!
Yukina: Oh.... I thought I would finally be able to get something to drink..... All I've had today was that measly apple
Lisa: It's not an apple it's a "Crapple". .....Wait, this isn't the time for that
Rinko: .....Huh? Drink......?
Sayo: What is it Shirokane-san?
Rinko: Hmm, Imai-san..... Can you show me the "Today's course" cover again.......
Lisa: Huh? "Today's course" And by that you mean this.......Menu?
Rinko: I knew it......! So basically--
Ako: What's wrong with you Rinrin, why are you rummaging around in that box of spare tableware
Rinko: The last item written on the menu is....."Coffee". but.....we never placed any......coffee cups......
Sayo: I see.....
Rinko: Therefore, we should.....put some coffee cups on the table......
Sayo: Party preparations....... done
Lisa: Woohoo.....Yay..... It says "Mission clear".......!
Ako: You're amazing Rinrin!!!! We really cleared everything---!!!
Sayo: That was some splendid deduction there Shirokane-san. Keeping your cool under pressure, that was the perfect display of the "Perfect form perfect shot" mindset
Rinko: Not at all.....it was just a fluke.....besides......Yukina-san was the one who said "She wanted a drink".....that's the only reason why I figured it out.....
Lisa: I know right! Yukina's like the M-M-MVP!
Ako: Yukina's vocal chords really are the life blood of Roselia!! I've never felt more sure of it until now!!
Yukina: ............
Yukina: And I still don't have a clue what's been happening this whole day.....
Sayo: Fufu...... It means there isn't anyone else who's best suited to be the leader of Roselia than you Minato-san
Rinko: Thank you very much.......Yukina-san......
Yukina: Well...... If you're all happy then who am I to argue.....

[inside the theme park]

Ako: I've just gotta enter the serial code and......Boom! Equipment get~!
Yukina: This is exactly what you wanted isn't it Ako
Lisa: We got codes as well even though we don't play the game. Yukina, how about we use this as an opportunity to give it another shot?
Yukina: Thanks but no thanks. When I played it last time just chatting was a pain in the ass
Sayo: Oh yeah you had trouble with that didn't you
Sayo: I have to test these bad boys out as soon as I get home. And if I'm not mistaken the set I got was the "Knight only set"....
Ako: Ah-!!!
Lisa: Jesus Christ, you scared the crap out of me~
Yukina: What's gotten into you Ako, why are you shrieking like that!?
Ako: Cause......This collab equipment is the...... "Knight only set"!?
Ako: But why!? They were suppose to be handing out the "Witches set" that magicians and necromancers could use today.....!
Rinko: I'm certain the.....Witches set...... is starting from tomorrow.....
Sayo: Yeah, That's what I'm sure I saw written on the homepage
Rinko: I thought that since..... you've been using the knight job as well recently that you......wanted it but Ako-chan......Please don't tell me.......that you.....
Ako: I freaking got the participation dates mixed up!
Lisa: Jesus Christ. That's one hell of a goof Ako
Yukina: Sucks for you but, there's no use crying over spilt milk
Lisa: It's not like you can exchange it or anything is it-
Ako: Uwu.......uwu.....Just kill me now......
Ako: Yukina-san......Lisa-nee.....Sayo-san, Rinrin......I'm begging you! Come back here with me tomorrow!!!
Lisa: Eeh!?
Yukina: You want to redo the missions from the first one?
Rinko: No......More accurately.....the missions are changed daily so.....
Lisa:  That's not even even close to starting from the first one, that's more like starting from zero!
Lisa: No way in hell! I have work tomorrow anyway!
Ako: Then how about the day after tomorrow.....No, next week is fine as well!
Ako: This is a once in a lifetime wish! Once more! Please redo it with me once more~!!

[Translation by: Surprisingly no Hagu in this event]

[Hikawa Sayo 3☆: Friend in danger]
[Easily infatuated type]

[Hikawa residence: Sayo's bedroom]
Sayo: A rare day off with no plans whatsoever. So how should I best spend my time?
Sayo: I'm done with my guitar practice and I've finished my homework. And I finished reading that book last night......So I guess all that leaves is NFO?
Sayo: ......I best not. I got so immersed in playing it these past few days testing out the stats and abilities of my collab equipment, I'll have to take a step back from gaming for a while
Sayo: Then I guess we're back to square one with more guitar practice? Or maybe I should go to the library......Huh?
Sayo: A phone call from Udagawa-san? That's unusual
Sayo: Yeah, Hello
Ako: Ah, Sayo-san! So do you have any plans for the day?
Sayo: Nope, nothing in particular
Ako: For real!? Sweet! So, do you want to play some NFO with me?
Ako: Me and Rinrin promised each other we would collect some mats. So you can tag along with us if you like.....
Sayo: Collection materials...... And by that you mean grinding quests
Sayo: Thanks for the kind invitation but I'll have to turn you down this time
Ako: Eeeh!? But why~!?
Sayo: Clearly it's to prevent myself from going overboard playing the game. And I lose all track of time when I'm grinding for materials.....
Sayo: More importantly Udagawa-san. Have you perhaps been spending all of your free time since we got back from the theme park playing NFO?
Ako: *Gulp!*
Sayo: *Sigh* I knew it
Sayo: I get how strong the desire is to test out a brand new piece of equipment. However, I don't approve of anyone wasting all of their free time playing video games
Sayo: In order to get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of games you have to study hard as well......
Ako: Waa-! Of course I know that!
Ako: But, today's invitation is a special one!
Sayo: Special? What do you mean by that?
Ako: An in game collab event with the theme park just started a few moments ago!
Sayo: In game collab event...... No way, so was it a surprise update?
Ako: Yeah it was~!
Ako: I only found out about it a moment ago but it looks like it's an event where you have to defeat a monster called the "White whale"
Ako: The "White whale" is insanely strong so, Anyway I just heard that just need to recruit a load of people...... And my guild doesn't have nearly enough members
Sayo: Yeah, but......
Ako: Pretty please! Even just one session will be fine......!
Sayo: ......OK then. But just for an hour
Ako: Perfect! Thanks a bunch!

[Several days later]

Ako: Hello! It's Ako! You free at the moment?
Sayo: Yeah, I'm free. So do you perhaps want to defeat that "White whale" again?
Ako: You read my mind-! Do you want to tag along with me?
Sayo: No......I'll pass this time
Sayo: Because I've already gathered all the materials that "White whale" quest has to offer
Ako: Have you now. That's a shame......Wait, what!?
Ako: You've already finished gathering all the mats!? But I'm still only halfway through!
Sayo: Well.......yeah. That's...... because I lucked out! Yeah that, pure luck. The boss kept on dropping the exact mats I needed
Sayo: So, Hmm......Anyway, It's a no from me this time. You should moderate your gaming sessions as well Udagawa-san
Ako: Fine-
Sayo: Phew...... Maybe I went a little overboard with my devotion
Sayo: I'll take a hiatus and ban myself from gaming, for real this time
[End]

[Udagawa Ako 3☆: Unleashing her power?]
[The smart way]

[Udagawa residence: Tomoe's bedroom]
Ako: And then get this, I went all Soiya-! And picked the right door! That's amazing isn't it~!
Tomoe: Ahahaha! That is pretty amazing!
Ako: It's all thanks to you! And then after that~....... Ah, Oh yeah!
Ako: I got so carried away talking I totally forgot about this~. Here you go!
Tomoe: Is......this a souvenir? Thanks for everything Ako!
Ako: No problemo! Ehehe♪ Come on, open it up right now!
Tomoe: Sure, let me see. Phwoar, Is this a.......Photo-book?
Ako: Bingo!
Ako: The theme park we went had places with breathtaking scenery!
Ako: When I found it at the gift shop I instantly knew I had to get it!
Tomoe: That's my girl, what a great choice! I'll take a proper look at it later
Tomoe: I'll put it in the bookshelf for now......Huh. Oh crap, my bookshelf is jam packed
Tomoe: Guess it's about time for me to sort them out. Maybe I should make some space for all the old ones......Well, anyway. For now I'll make some space by removing these two......
Ako: Woah! Amazing! It's like a blast from the past!
Ako: We used to always read this picture book with everyone didn't we?
Tomoe: Yeah we did! Great memory you got there
Tomoe: Like this picture book, Himari would bawl her eyes out every time we read it. It was such a pain in the butt when we finished it and she would burst into tears just from seeing the cover wasn't it
Ako: Ahaha, I remember that! But I don't even remember what the book was about. Hmm, I think there was a red and a blue demon.....
Tomoe: Yeah that's right, it's quite a heartbreaking story. But I've forgotten most of the details as well
Tomoe: We've already got it out so how about we give it a read?
Ako: Yeah! Ehehe, I can't wait~♪

[10 minutes later]
Ako: That's just......heartbreaking~......
Tomoe: Yeah......you're even crying like a little baby
Ako: You're one to talk!
Ako: Uwu......
Tomoe: Ako? Why are you hugging me?
Ako: You're.......You're not going to suddenly disappear like that blue demon did are you Onee-chan
Ako: I loved how kind the blue demon was but......I hate how they disappeared without saying anything
Ako: So, so......Uwu, waaa-!
Tomoe: Don't be so silly. As if that's ever going to happen
Ako: Uwu.......For real......?
Tomoe: I thought it was amazing how kind the blue demon was. but......I think there has to have been another way
Tomoe: One to avoid such a heartbreaking ending
Ako: I think so too. But I can't think of what......they could have done differently.....
Tomoe: Yeah, me either. But that's exactly why I want to find a way for myself
Tomoe: And of course I mean with you
Ako: Onee-chan.......! Yeah, let's.......!
Ako: I think so too! Onee-chan! Let's keep doing our best to stay together forever...... and ever!
Tomoe: Yeah! Sure thing!
