(sunset forest field of flowers)

Iris (amazed after stopping at the door): This place looks so amazing.

Mazoku (surprised while Ishtar looks at the flowers): I guess this update must be your favourite.

Ishtar (look at Mazoku while on her knees): Why do you sound so surprised?

Mazoku: Normally you don't show what you like in UGO.

Ishtar: That's because we were strangers. (standing) Can we head to a safe zone? I want to grab a snack at the corner shop.

Mazoku (start walking with Ishtar): Want me to come with you?

Ishtar: I should be fine. (after a notification screen appears) Looks like they're going to be doing a live event this week on Friday in this new land.

Mazoku (looking at the update notice on a screen): This land has different types of plant monsters, hidden traps, and hidden prizes.

Ishtar (after another screen appears): We got invited to take part.

Mazoku: They pay us to enter events for free. (after having an idea) Do you want to play in the same room?

Ishtar: Sure. (remember) We should bring Ruby along.

Mazoku: If she wants to come.

(hill)

Ishtar (pointing after stopping): Looks at that big tree.

Mazoku (looking at the map): That's the safe zone according to the map.

Ishtar (while Mazoku map screen disappears): At least we can glide (jump forward) from up here.

Mazoku soon followed Ishtar when started to fall. Their gliders soon appear making Ishtar's wings appear while Mazoku sits on a black dragon that has blue eyes.

(safe zone inn)

Mazoku (after opening the door): You should be safe in here.

Ishtar: I won't be too long. (sitting at a table) If you want something text me.

Mazoku: Okay.

(flat Iris room bedroom)

Iris (after taking her headphones off while at her chair wearing her comfy outfit): Not bad communicating through headphones. It's way easier than texting. (standing) I should hurry. (walking to the door) I want to explore more.

(Souji room bedroom)

Souji (at his chair wearing his comfy outfit having his headphones on his shoulder while texting Ruby): Looks like Ruby's short lessons have been helping. So her darkness heaven came from a boss of her race after reaching max level. Depending on your character race you'll get a skill that helps you in battle. No wonder I got teleported to a demon boss.

(Ruby room bedroom)

Ruby (looks at Souji's message from her phone while having a towel on): So Iris did that thing and didn't lose control. He even sent me a video so we could see what happened during that time. (in her mind) I'm happy Iris gave us her permission to record her and listen in to her conversation during the game. (after stretching) I'll send it to my dad a bit later.

(Night Street)

Iris (wearing her collage trainers): I thought it be colder at night but it's a bit warmer. (in her mind after putting her hood on) It's quiet but three people are following me. Should I fight?

(corner shop)

Iris (after entering): Excuse me. Do you have a toilet?

Worker (behind the counter): We do. (point to the left) Just go down there and there'll be a toilet sign on the door.

Iris: Thank you.

(flat Souji room)

Souji (answers his phone after it rings): Everything alright Iris?

Iris (from Souji's phone): I think I'm being followed by three people.

Souji (standing): Where are you?

Iris: I'm in the corner shop toilets.

Souji: Wait there. (pick up his katana) I'm on my way.

(hallway outside Souji door)

Ruby (leaning on the wall wearing her trainers while Souji opens the door): Going to help Iris?

Ruby wearing a white hoodie with short sleeves, a red jogging bottoms with a white star on her left leg, and her hair is tied to the right side by a scrunch hairband.

Souji (holding his katana and wearing his collage trainers): You followed her. So who are the people following Iris?

Ruby (walking with Ruby): They're from her father's gang.

Souji: Oh great. (stopping by the stairs) Leave them to me. (look at Ruby) Stay hidden and deal with any other members who decide to make their way to us.

Ruby: Okay. I'll call your father to let him know.

Souji (while Ruby went to the window): Make sure to not trip.

Ruby (after climbing out the window): I won't.
