Stage 1

Inside the Dimensional Cave

	次元洞窟 ～D-Cavern～	Dimensional Cave ~D-Cavern~

Kurohebi	だが、ここであったが百年目っつってね	However, the others are already way ahead of here
Tsubakura	えっと、誰？	Um, who is?

Kurohebi	結局、話がかみ合わないんだな	In the end, this conversation never made much sense.

Stage 2

The Spacetime Whirlpool

	時空の渦 ～Emancipation of Time～	Spacetime Whirlpool ~Emancipation of Time~
	時にはその様を魅せる為に、 無駄な動きや非効率的な 攻撃手段も選択肢の一つとして 迎え入れる必要があるだろう。	At times, in order to bring about that condition, even methods such as futile movements and ineffective attacks, may be necessary to beckon in.

	Aoji Shitodo DEFEATED
Aoji	何か知らないうちに負けた〜	I lost, and I'm so confused~
Tsubakura	一番にゴールできればここから出られるぜ	Fine, I'll tell you. Whoever makes it to the goal first gets to leave this place.

Tsubakura	なに、気にするな	Ah, well then don't worry about it.

Stage 3

A Curious Encounter

	介入者と収穫者 ～Curious_encounter～	The One who Interferes and the One who Harvests ~Curious encounter~

Tsubakura	知ってるようなー、知らなくないようなー	Maybe I know, maybe I don't.
Yabusame	え、え・・・？ えーっと・・・、どっち？	Uh, huh...? Umm... which is it?
Tsubakura	そんなことより、急がなくていいのか？ 一番はまだ遠いぞ？	Instead of worrying about it, shouldn't you be hurrying? You're still a long ways from being first.
Yabusame	そういえば、一番になったらどうなるの	That reminds me, what happens if you get first?
Tsubakura	大金持ちになれるぞ	There's a huge cash prize.
Yabusame	また変わってる・・・	It's changing again...

Hooaka	それはつまり、ポン酢と味噌タレではどっちって話？	So are you talking about miso sauce or ponzu?
Tsubakura	どうやらそばつゆのようだな	Somehow it actually seems like soba broth.
Hooaka	流石だな、柚子胡椒は用意してある	As expected, you even prepared yuzukoshou.
