The missing allies were found, but the El Search Party is still stuck in the strange theater.
A strange short play is repeating on stage before them, showing what seems like a fairytale of the Demon Realm.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (CRUMBLE... CRUMBLE...)
  • (CRINKLE, CRINKLE, CRINKLE.)
  • Laby: Wow, it looks like everything here is made of paper.
  • Rose: The sound of wind blowing through a paper field... What a novel experience.
  • Lu: ... Ciel, cut the ground slightly.
  • Ciel: Hm? ... Like this?
  • (CRUMBLE... ... PSSSS....)
  • Elesis: Oh, the paper is mending itself back together.
  • Lu: As I thought. This place is also controlled by someone like the Magician's house.
  • Ciel: I'm not that well-versed in magic, but is it supposed to be this easy to create places like these?
  • Ain: If you wish to hear the answer to that question, I suggest we hurry to find our friends.
  • Narrator: ... The people blessed... ... for all eternity.
  • Aisha: ... I told you! I definitely heard you asking me for help! You said, Aisha! Help! You're the best magician I know!
  • Rena: I hear them! That way!
  • Elsword: And you bought that? I don't sound like that at all!!
  • Chung: You fell for that same trick. Ara, Elsword, and I have been here for a while.
  • Ara: We were all struck here watching this boring play over and over again...
  • Laby: Everyone! You're all here! Are you ok?
  • Elesis: I'm glad to see you're unharmed, but you all look awfully cozy in your seats.
  • Elsword: ... We didn't mean for it to happen this way.
  • Ciel: You didn't mean to sit around in comfort? Look, even the cushion looks soft...
  • Aisha: No!! Don't sit down!!
  • Elsword: You can't sit down! Or your body sticks to these seats and you can't get up no matter how hard you try!
  • Elesis: What are you saying! Here, give me your hand. I'll help you up.
  • Elsword: Ow... Owowowow! Sis, my arms/ gonna fall off!
  • Elesis: Wow, you're not kidding! Not even a budge! Maybe if I hold on to your neck...
  • Ain: I think you should stop, Ms. Knight-Captain. You might harm someone.
  • Ara: Sigh... We've been like this ever since we came here. I lost count of how many times they've repeated the play.
  • Elsword: Fifth magician, the being that hides in the shadow.
  • Narrator: ... Fifth magician, the being that hides in the shadow.
  • Chung: He disappeared, never to be seen.
  • Narrator: ... He disappeared, never to be seen.
  • Rena: Oh dear, you memorized all the words already?
  • Elsword: I'm sick of it. I can't stand it anymore.
  • Raven: Be careful not to sit on the seats and let's find a way to get out of here.
  • Eve: What about the ones who already sat down?
  • Elesis: Maybe lift them up by the seats and carry them out...?
  • Add: Who's going to lift them...
  • Narrator: (BZZT-) The play will start once everyone is seated.
  • ... BAM BAM BABAM BABABABAM!
  • Clapping from Unseen Audience: (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
  • Chung: Uuhh, it's starting again...
  • Eve: ... Maybe we should all sit down?
  • Aisha: But... you'll be stuck.
  • Eve: I briefly examined the seats, but there were no adhesives or other special mechanisms. And... it seems like this place is governed by some kind of rules.
  • Eve: I do not know what kind of rules apply here, but I believe we must follow them if we wish to progress.
  • Chung: But... Will it be alright? If we're all stuck, we might not be able to fight back.
  • Eve: Doesn't it seem too well-made for it to be a trap? The Dream Demons love and cherish this village.
  • Eve: If this is their kingdom, I don't think they'll do anything to harm it that easily.
  • Raven: .......
  • Raven: ... Considering the Magician earlier showed no intention of harming us, perhaps this is another one of their strange tricks.
  • Noah: It leaves a bad taste, but maybe it's just another game for Dream Demons.
  • Add: Tsk, forcing a rule on me... I don't like it. If we're all decided, then let's sit.
  • Elsword: Add, what's the bunny doll? Strange thing you got there.
  • Add: Shut it.
  • Laby: Shall we sit, too? Here! You sit right next to Laby, Nisha!
  • Noah: Do you think you're included in that everyone, Clamor?
  • Clamor: ... Just se me on the floor.
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Rose: Everyone in your seats? Hm, it's true. I can't move. It's like I'm glued to the seat.
  • Narrator: ... One day, in a chaotic land, five magicians appeared. They were prophets and visionaries.
  • Narrator: The first magician gave the land a new name, and left golden seeds all across the Demon Realm.
  • Elesis: Nothing's happening. Are you sure this is not a trap?
  • Rose: This opening act just began. Maybe it'll start after this?
  • Laby: True. If they just stop in the middle and start a new play, everyone who came in late won't know what happened!
  • Elesis: Is this what bugs trapped in a spider web feels like? I don't like not being able to move. Alright, I'll wait...
  • Narrator: ... The second magician roamed around and met people suffering from an unnamed plague.
  • Narrator: The magician taught them the cure, and the people blessed each other as they danced around for all eternity.
  • Narrator: The third magician gave one man a prophecy. The man who received the prophecy was very grateful and shared his treasures.
  • Narrator: The man was victorious, just like the prophecy said, and soon became the king.
  • Narrator: The fourth magician found youth searching for truth. He was greatly pleased and showed them new land.
  • Narrator: The youth found new waves. But then... what did the fifth magician give?
  • Narrator: Fifth magician, the being that hides in the shadow.
  • Narrator: He disappeared, never to be seen.
  • Clapping from Unseen Audience: (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
  • Aisha: Ahhh... We're the only ones here... Who could be clapping?
  • Rose: ... What a strange play. Is it a fairytale of some sort from the Demon Realm?
  • Raven: It doesn't sound like the kind of story with a happily ever after. It sounds more like a prophecy told by bards.
  • Lu: .......

Description

A strange play begins...
The El Search Party is shocked when they learn who's going to be starring in the play.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (BZZT-)
  • Laby: Oooh, something's about to start!
  • Narrator: (ANNOUNCEMENT) This adventure begins in a dry, desert land where sand storms rage.
  • Add: ... I can already tell this play is going to be a flop.
  • Narrator: (ANNOUNCEMENT) The main act will begin shortly. Actors, please get on stage.
  • Chung: How do you know it's going to be a flop from just the opening?
  • Add: You think they'll have a proper play with cardboard backgrounds? Kugh?!
  • Elsword: Huh? Add, where are you... Gah?!
  • Ciel: Wait, where are you going? W, we still can't move!
  • Aisha: No! It's like... Our body is moving on their own!
  • Noah: What... Who's still sitting?
  • Rose: ... The five of us. Me, Lu, Ciel, Laby, and you.
  • Raven: Ugh... Something invisible is pulling us.
  • Ain: ... Strings... Can you cut it?
  • Add: Damn it! I'm trying! But when I cut one, ten more of them appear...!
  • Elesis: What are they playing at?
  • Narrator: Bow to the audience before the start of the play!
  • Clapping from Unseen Audience: (WHOO- CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
  • Rena: Don't tell me... we're the actors?
  • Narrator: Now, let the play begin!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Eris: Ack, I got shot in the leg! I cannot go any further... Leave without me!
  • Iccus: But Eris!
  • Eris: Go!
  • Narrator: That moment, the archer swept he long blonde hair back and smiled evilly. She said,
  • Narrator: Ahahaha! You will all die here. Kyahahaha!'
  • Rena: Aha... haha... You will... all... die here. Ahaha...
  • Narrator: The archer's hair was dyed red with the blood of countless Dream Demons she killed.
  • Eris: Of course, I cannot forgive them... But... But I cannot lose you too.
  • Iccus: Sob... But I cannot leave you here!
  • Rena: Hey! I never bullied you like...!
  • Raven: Calm down, Rena. If we don't follow the script, we might have to start all over.
  • Rena: Mrrr...
  • Narrator: Boom! With a sound of an explosion, slow, but determined footsteps approached them.
  • Narrator: The artilleryman strikes a pose with his cannon and says narcissistically. 'Boom, boom! Hahaha... It's so much fun demolishing them all!'
  • Chung: ... It's... so much... fun... demonlishing them all. Which one should I use as a target next?
  • Chung: No matter how many there are, I can sh, shoot... all of them down.
  • Chung: (Is this... what they think of me? A mad bomber and a serial killer...?)
  • Elsword: (No, Chung! You're not... This is ridiculous.)
  • Aisha: (Nobody likes their assigned parts here. I'm some kind of a mad shaman reading the path of the stars!)
  • Raven: (... And I'm an evil swordsman who traded his left arm with the devil. It's absurd.)
  • Narrator: 'Huhuhu, leave some for me.' The woman wielding a spear appears with a bewitching laugh.
  • Narrator: But continue bitingly, as if she turned into a completely different person.
  • Ara: Kya... haha... That one's liver is mine! I'll, uh, sh, shr...
  • Ara: Uhhh, shred it to pieces! Roar!
  • Eun: (... I must have lived for too long. I didn't think I'd ever witness something like this.)
  • Ara: Uuuuh... Not you too, Eun...
  • Lu: Aha, I understand why we were left in the audience. This stage is reenacting the events at Sander, isn't it?
  • Elesis: Come, my minions, I shall pardon you if you win, but if you lose... Off with your heads!
  • Ciel: ... Never mind the content, it looks like Elesis is having way too much fun.
  • Rose: She's just someone who gives it her all no matter what the task is.
  • Ain: Haha, this damned...
  • Rose: But the way, Ain hasn't said anything yet, do you know what his role is supposed to be?
  • Noah: I believe he's a silent monk... I missed most of the details, since they breezed through the explanation.
  • Laby: Laby's starting to feel bad for the Dream Demons.
  • Noah: Surely... they weren't actually like that...? How long do we have to watch this?
  • Ciel: Even though I got that the demons here specialize in mental attacks, I never thought it would involve something like this. How terrifying.
  • Lu: Well... Yes. THey do live off the attention and emotion.
  • Lu: I'm sure even a crude stage like this will bring up emotion. Like... anger. Whichever it may be, I do hope they're not too affected by them.
  • ... ... ... ...
  • Eve: ... Why should I have to fight in a battle for peasants. I do not wish to get my clothes dirty, so I shall rest in the shades.
  • Eve: Ahh, will you fight for me, m, my p, p, prince...?
  • Narrator: ... Hellooo? Next line!
  • Add: Damn it all... Y, your wish is my command, m, my pr... princess...
  • Rose: The lines are quite romantic, yet the mood is quite murderous. How did those two end up as a prince and princess duo?
  • Laby: Weren't you paying attention, Rose? Those two are princess and prince with a machine heart. They are normally cruel and ruthless, but the love they have for each other is true!
  • Laby: But they are actually half-siblings. It's a forbidden love, but they don't know that yet. Only the machine princess has some suspicion.
  • Rose: Aha... Is that the setting?
  • Lu: It's painful to watch. If my arms weren't held, I would have at least covered my ears.
  • Ciel: Really? I'm just getting into it. It's giving us so much blackmail material.
  • ... ... ... ...
  • Karis Role: Now, my beloved brethren, my friends, leave this to me, and go! Haa!
  • Elsword: (Ugh, why do I have to say this!)
  • Elsword: Kugh, defeated by a mere demon? I will not forget this...!
  • Narrator: ... The show has ended. Now final bow for the audience!
  • Aisha: ... That's it? Is it truly over?
  • Clapping from Unseen Audience: (WHOO- CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)
  • Aisha: Ahhh that was the worst! Did you see that scene where I fawled out my eyes because the cloudy sky prevented me from receiving any message from the stars? It's ridiculous!
  • Elsword: Hey, I barely had any lines except at the end. Why was I on stage if they weren't going to make use of me?
  • Rena: Be grateful you were an average swordsman. You saw what they did to the main characters.
  • Chung: Serial bomber...
  • Ain: Ha, can I speak now? Moving accordingly to the whim of demons was irritating. Very irritating.
  • Add: Am I... that obnoxious and cringey? This humiliation is the worst...
  • Elesis: Calm, my prince. You shan't bother yourself with jests of us lowly peasants.
  • Add: Do you want to die?! Are you boasting that your role wasn't as bad?!
  • Eve: ... I cannot forgive them.
