- Add: (Debrian... Debrian...)
- Elesis: ... Wait, I think the village Baryon mentioned is just up ahead.
- Rena: They're active at night, right? It looks bright and loud. How should we head in?
- Chung: (I knew it... I wasn't just seeing things. It's slightly different from the direction that the needle is pointing.)
- Rose: A village of Dream Demons... Lu, is there anything we should watch out for?
- Chung: I'm curious, too. We did fight against them, but we don't know much beyond that. Other than the description Asella gave us.
- Lu: I suppose that's quite true for you. Let's see... They're quite straight-forward. They like to play.
- Add: Who doesn't?
- Lu: Don't interrupt me! You can say they are truly an incarnation of fun. They will spend their lives chasing their interests.
- Lu: Since they already experienced death, they will charge like moths to a flame as long as it looks fun for them.
- Chung: They experienced death...? Do you mean they were brought back from the dead?
- Aisha: Eeek, then are th... th, they Undead? Like skeletons? We fought with dead beings...?
- Ciel: Is that how it works? By that definition, I'm an Undead too, aren't I?
- Ain: Mr. Half-Dead...
- Eve: When will you call us by name, Ain?
- Lu: Hmhm, it's not that simple. Anyway, they stir up your emotion in various ways and take your life force.
- Noah: What happens... when they take your life force? Don't tell me you end up dead...
- Lu: I'm not certain. I don't think there was a case like that. They are usually mild-natured, so they might bother you one moment, but are also quick to lose interest.
- Ara: They sound almost like dokkaebies. Or... cats?
- Lu: Oh, that reminds me of one story.
- Lu: One day, an adventurer met someone they got along with swimmingly, so he danced and sang all night long.
- Lu: But when dawn came, a passerby who saw them took the adventurer by arm and dragged him, seething with anger.
- Lu: Irritated, the adventurer snatched away and asked him what was his deal, in which the passerby answered.
- Lu: 'Don't you understand? Look at your wrist!'
- Rena: What was on his wrist...?
- Lu: When he looked at his wrist, he noticed... that his wrist became so thin, that it was skeletal!
- Aisha: Gyaaa! Did he die?! Did he become an Undead, too?
- Lu: Hohoho, no, that wasn't the case. But if it weren't for that random passerby, perhaps?
- Raven: That's an interesting story, but some of us may become scared, so perhaps you should stop the teasing.
- Laby: But if they played all night long, it must be real fun, right? Maybe they're nice. Do you think we can become friends?
- Lu: Since they even lost their Queen in Elrios, they will probably be low in numbers. They might not be so threatening.
- Lu: IF they show no desire to fight, I believe we can pass through peacefully, even if they're tiresome.
- Rena: Then let's act like visitors. Everyone take this.
- Elsword: Huh? What is this? It's heavier than it looks.
- Raven: They're gold coins. This is the first time I saw ones like these. Are they currencies of the Demon Realm? Where did you get them?
- Rena: Haha, I received some as reward for work at the White-Ghost Land. Let's go around and use this up.
- Rena: We'll act like rich adventurers who've come to look for a place to rest after a big job at the ruins!
- Diana: Oh my, another guest? We have a lot of visitors lately.
- Eris: Maybe the word is out already! Hohoho, come, come, welcome!
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Iccus: We'll make sure you'll have the time of your life as long as you stay!
- Elsword: Thanks! We're adventurers, and uh, we went to ruins and got jewels... I mean treasure! I mean...
- Add: Well, you get the gist. We have more than enough gold to spend, and we'd like to spend all of it before we leave. Why don't you lead us the way?
- Diana: Of course! Come, come this way!
- Laby: Whoa! Look! There's a floating train!
- Rose: The tracks look uneven and the speed keeps changing... to be considered an ordinary transportation. What is it for?
- Eris: Would you like to try riding it? It will give you a chilling thrill!
- Chung: That sounds like fun! I'd like to try.
- Elesis: I'll pass. Why don't you go ahead and... Ugh, stop pushing...!
- Eris: Now, it's this way to the ride! If you don't hurry, you'll have to wait on line!
- Ciel: (Is this the start of the operation?)
- Aisha: (Alright... Everyone ready? Remember, act natural and play along!)
- Clamor: Noah? We should get going, too.
- Noah: Mm... Is this fine? Aren't we letting down our guards too much? They are demons that invaded Elrios...
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Iccus: Here... Take this.
- Noah: Ah! That scared me... Huh? Are you... Are you giving this to me?
- File:Story Quest Icon - .png Iccus: (Nod)
- Noah: Thank you... Um, what is it...?
- (SPARK!)
- Noah: Uah! An explosion...
- Clamor: Oh, it's fireworks!
- Noah: Fireworks? You mean the things that explode in the sky?
- Clamor: Yup. These are much smaller than those. If you hold on to it, you can see pretty lights until it burns out.
- Clamor: Did you never see ones like these before?
- Noah: I've only seen them from afar. Wow... Amazing....
