02x05 - Maxing Defense and Tentacles.

[bunniefuu]

It seems you can become friends
with monsters on the seventh floor.

Really?

I can't wait!

All right, I'm gonna explain about
the long-awaited new mechanic, taming.

First, be aware that not
all monsters on the field

can become friends with you.

You'll find a mark on monsters
that can be tamed,

so be sure to look for it.

That's rather thoughtful.

I wonder if there's any monster
that can support my inventions?

There're lots of ways to tame monsters.

Defeat them to make friends...

Give them a specific item...

And there can be other conditions
such as clearing a quest.

Also,

You can tame a monster using a ring
called a "Bridge of Bond."

BRIDGE OF BOND

A few... Only a minority of players
already have tamed monsters with them.

That's us.

One person can only tame
one monster using "Bridge of Bond."

Sorry about that.

Dang. Well, I figured as much.

Then I guess we should
support everyone else instead, right?

That'll be a huge help.

If the condition is to defeat the monster,
it'll be hard to to alone.

Also! In the upcoming eighth event,

having tamed monsters
will give you an advantage.

Good luck with becoming friends
with monsters, everyone!

That's all!

All right then, Maple.

Let's set the guild's goal to be

have everyone befriend a monster
before the eighth event.

What do you think?

Sure, that sounds nice! I agree!

We should start with
gathering info, I guess.

What kind of monster appears
at which place...

Volcano, snow mountain, desert, and sea...

Looks like there're lots of ecosystems
on the seventh floor.

I want to start exploring now!

I wonder what kinds there are?

Perhaps I should make some items
that're effective for taming.

All right,
let's first explore by ourselves.

And let's discuss and help each other
if anything happens.

I'll go check other floors, too.

Maybe there have been changes
after the seventh floor's release.

Okay, got it.

Okay then, let's all work hard, everyone!

Yeah!

Looks like it's not as
easy as just defeating it.

Well, I'll just explore this floor first.

No need to rush to find a partner.

So there are tamable
ghost-type monsters too.

But I guess I shouldn't do that to Sally.

Why am I getting chills?

I'm sure that NPC wasn't there last time...

Is there anything you want to ask me?

"Below the Fog of the Distant Land..."

A newly released quest?

Very well. I shall tell you.

Are you sure, Maple?

You're taking your time to help us...

It's totally fine.

I already have Syrup,

and besides, I can protect you
wherever you go.

Thank you so much!

You're a great help to us!

What kind of animal do you want to tame?

I'm thinking of a cute animal, after all.

I agree with Sis.

All right! Let's look for...

Bear?

Bear!

Bear... Bear...

That looks quite rare!

Maple!

Okay! Let's chase after them!

Bear... Bear... Bear...

Bear... Bear... Bear...

Our speed can't catch up
with them after all.

What a pity.

They were so fast.

But if I use Atrocity,
I might accidentally crush them...

Why don't we return for now

and ask Izu if she has
any great item for this?

Okay!

These are...

Great timing!

A lot of recipes have been added
since we came to the seventh floor.

Will we become faster this way?

Yes. Our guild members never
really change equipment,

but it's important to adjust equipment
according to the place.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, Izu.

It may not meet
the standard of this floor,

but if you combine that with this potion,
which raises your AGI...

Dear, this isn't good.

What's wrong?

I gave the rest to Kuromu and the others,

so I only have two left.

I don't have ingredients, either...

Where do you get the ingredients?

You should be able to get them
at the sea of this floor.

All right, then, I'll get them for you!

As the guild master!

Then, we'll go with you...

Don't worry about it!

You two should continue
exploring this floor!

Okay.

Thank you so much.

We'll work hard together!

I'll be on my way!

Good luck!

Yui, what shall we do?

Shall we explore other places
until Maple comes back?

I still can't...

Let that go...

WEST

No mark on the monsters.

So it's true that you can befriend
monsters only on the seventh floor.

But...

The bottom of the valley, shrouded in fog...

Something is definitely there.

I'll tell you the rest
if you're strong enough.

I have some sort of premonition.

It's not a bad thing to try it out.

Time to fight!

Arms of the Warrior!

This skill will reduce our defense, but...

It doesn't matter to us!

Destroy Mode!

Let's go, Yui!

Okay!

Maple isn't here.

So we'll die if we take a hit!

We'll get them before they get us!

Yes!

What's that?

Monsters?

No, wait.

Cute bunnies.

We saw them around here, right?

Yes, if only we could meet them again.

Bear!

We found them!

-We can do it this time!
-Yes!

Bear... Bear... Bear...

There!

Wait, something feels weird!

Bear!

Let's go, Sis!

What?

So beautiful!

But even if we can befriend a fish,
how do you take it with you?

I wonder if we can befriend
that kind of fish, too.

Chase after them, Syrup!

Turtle?

Don't worry! I'll be sure to
look for the items, too.

Okay, let's go!

Turtle.

It got us.

Once more!

Let's take revenge, Sis!

Okay!

Arms of the Warrior!

Sixth of Sword - Blaze!

All right, next.

Nine, ten...

All right, mission complete.

I picked up quite a lot.

Syrup, let's get back to Izu...

Turtle!

Wait!

Atrocity!

Am I inside that weird thing?

Atrocity has deactivated!

What a waste.

Foul Feeder!

Wait, wait!

Wai...

To think it'd be a quest
across three floors...

But that only raises my expectations.

I'm going!

Mind's Eye!

Perhaps this is what the world
looks like to Sally.

First of Sword - Heat Haze!

Fourth of Sword - Whirlwind!

Leap!

Third of Sword - Lonely Moon!

Purple Phantom Blade!

It would've been the best skill
if this doesn't happen...

Bear!

So, we came so close to
defeating that monster, but...

It got us every time.

I wish I could help you,

but I have a lot going on here, too.

It's okay! You don't have to
worry about us at all!

Rather, we're all fired up now
to get this done!

I love the cute atmosphere here.

Here, have this, too.

So cute.

Sis...

Thank you.

Please help yourself.

Speaking of which, Maple is a bit late.

I wonder how far she's gone.

I didn't think it'd pull me in further.

Is this the dead?

Disgusting...

Foul Feeder!

I can't predict what's going to happen...

This is... Paralysis?

Wait, no. It's more like
it's sealing my movements.

To think a snake actually came out.

We'll definitely save you this time!

Sis!

A white snake.

I see.

Sounds nice.

I guess I'll go again.

Now, although I got eaten,

I'm not in the water,
so I can move around freely!

Deploy! Right hand!

It's not good to be picky!

If you don't eat, I'm gonna eat you!

Again!

Bear!

You two, too?

We were defeated again.

But we're not giving up!

Yeah, let's all work hard.

Hydra!

So spicy!

It seems that only its forehead
takes damage.

What should I do?

Blood Blade!

But if I come close, it's still...

So it's like an invincible guardian.

It's all or nothing!

Super Speed!

Lonely Moon!

It was on the spur of the moment,
but it went well.

Now...

This is savory and nice!

Snake?

Will you be friendly to me?

What do you say?

Snake?

Your name is... Give me a moment.

Yui!

Okay! Sis!

Yui!

Sis!

Bear.

Bear?

Fluffy and shaggy!

So warm!

We did it!

It disappeared.

But it was the most delicious one so far!

New skills?

Invitation to the Ocean Floor...?

I wonder what it does?

How about that?

You're right. That's nice too.

We're back!

So you two did it!

Yes, we did it!

You two, Kasumi!

What's the name of the baby snake?

It's Haku.

Did I make it too simple?

Not at all, it's cute!

So it now comes down
to Kanade, Izu and me.

I've got a plan already, though.

Really?

This is such great timing!

I have gifts for you two.

Well, you really can make anything.

You'll be together a lot,
so the cuter the better, right?

Thank you so much!

Have you decided on names?

Yes!

This is Tsukimi!

And this is Yukimi!

Great names.

Say hello to Haku, Tsukimi, Yukimi.

So cute!

Welcome back, Map...

Your arm...

And your eye, too...

I can now extend... tentacles!

Nice work, everyone.

Sally, nice work.

Maple, your tentacles look nice.

-TAMED MONSTERS?
-NOT YET

-RARE AND EASY ONES HAVE BEEN FOUND
-MAPLE GOT ANOTHER?

-CAN'T HAVE TWO. CHECK THE RULE
-SHE'S GOT ANOTHER SOMEHOW

-WHAT DO U MEAN?
-WHAT DID SHE GET?

-OMINOUS TENTACLES
-HOW COME

-HUMANS DON'T MAKE THEM THEIR FRIENDS
-SEE THE EFFECTS FOR YOURSELF

SO SHE'S A CHIMERA IN THE NEXT EVENT
