The girls met at the easternmost part of the Elven Retreat, in front of some sort of large gate. "Oh, there you are, dears!" Gari-Chan greeted them. "I suppose you're ready to go after that Dark Lord now?"

"We're ready, Gari-Chan!" Susumu confirmed. "But... How do we open this gate?"

"That's where we come in!" Shari-Chan chimed. "Just stand back and let the Sharishari Triplets do their magic! Are you ready, girls?"

"Ready!" Kari-Chan and Gari-Chan said in unison.

The girls took their positions in front of the gate, and Shari-Chan began a count. "One... Two... Three!" On her signal, the three girls started dancing. Susumu felt completely mesmerized by their dance! She didn't know what it was about it, but she could feel her own body moving unconsciously as she watched.

Once the girls finished dancing, the gate began to open up. Waiting right behind it was...

"Ahahaha. So this is the famed Elven Retreat I've heard so much about."

"AZAMIR!" All 6 girls got ready to fight, even Kari-Chan.

"Oh, Sharisharis," Azamir said in a condescending tone. "I just knew you'd be helping that little pain in my nonexistant neck. But you know what they say. When one door closes, another one is sure to open. And you've certainly opened the door for me, ahahaha!" He began to open his eyes, and a pink light filled the room.

"Eeek!" When the light faded, Kari-Chan and Gari-Chan were okay, but Shari-Chan... "S-Shari-Chan! He took Shari-Chan's face!" Kari-Chan began sobbing.

Gari-Chan leaned in to comfort her sister. "Now, now, Kari-Chan. If it makes you feel any better, I will go find her face, and you can stay here with Shari-Chan."

"Y-you will?" Kari-Chan sniffed. "But... Susumu and her friends..."

"We will be helping of Miss Gari-Chan also!" Bowyetta spoke up.

"Yeah, I wanna help Shari-Chan too!" Susumu added.

"Well, I guess that settles that then," Konade said with a smile. "Come on, let's go get Shari-Chan's face back!"

And so the four girls set out to reclaim Shari-Chan's face. As they were searching, however, they heard a voice nearby. "Alright, where is he?!"

The girls looked around in confusion. "Was... Anybody else hearing of that?"

Susumu pointed to something in the distance. "Taaank! ...N-No, I mean he's literally a tank."

And sure enough, someone who seemed to be wearing armor like a tank was yelling at a butterfly. "If you don't tell me where that Dark Lord is, I'm gonna have to get angry!"

Once the girls got closer, they could see that the butterfly had Alonzo's face on it. "Oh no! Susumu, I think Azamir got more faces than we expected!"

"Hey, be careful!" Susumu cautioned the person, swinging her microphone at the butterfly. "That thing is dangerous!"

As the girls began to fight the butterfly, the person in armor revealed himself. He was... Actually a dog?! "H-Hey! What's happening?!" he demanded, looking around in confusion. "I was just about to find out where that Dark Lord went!"

"Bowyetta is not much thinking we can not be talking to these things!" Bowyetta called out to him as she threw a wave at the butterfly. "We must be fighting of them!"

The dog still seemed confused, but fired a few shots from his cannon at the butterfly anyway. For someone his size, he was a lot stronger than he looked! And yet... Even after the butterfly was defeated, he kept trying to talk to Alonzo's face. "Hey, wait! You better tell me where the Dark Lord went now!"

"You know, we could just tell you ourselves..." Susumu mumbled.

"Miss Susumu is being right! We are be looking for the Dark Lord ourselves!"

"But..." Konade began. "Before we go after Azamir... Shouldn't we see if we stole any more faces first?"

"Yes, and we must be getting Miss Shari-Chan of her face also," Bowyetta added.

"Actually, now that you mention it, I think I saw three more faces around here," the dog stated. "They went... Yeah, they went that way!"

"Three faces at once?!" Susumu exclaimed. "That's gonna be pretty hard, isn't it?"

"Not to worry, not to worry!" The dog declared. "I will be right here to protect you, my dear ladies!"

The girls gave each other an odd look. "Right..." Konade answered. "Well, could you take us to them, Mr...?"

"Raya! My name is Raya!" The dog attempted to bow while introducing himself, but his armor got in the way. "And I would be very happy to lead the way. Follow me, my dears!"

With that, Raya rolled off towards where he saw the other stolen faces. "He is certainly much being interesting, is he not?" Bowyetta asked.

"I like him," Susumu said. "He seems... Fun." She began to follow Raya. Bowyetta and Konade gave each other a look, but soon followed the two as well.
