* EasyLevelTrick: The Extreme difficulty dungeon bosses all have mechanics that are designed to inflict a TotalPartyKill when the timer begins to run out. The idea is that this forces the player to use multiple parties with different characters to shave off the boss's HP over several battles. However, the Extreme II dungeon boss's gimmick is that in the last twenty seconds, the entire party is hit with a poison debuff with high damage per tick. However, if the party is strong enough to survive a couple ticks of poison damage, it's possible to use characters with healing Union Bursts to heal the damage before the poison kills anyone. Bring two strong enough healers, and it's possible to loop their Union Bursts so that the party never dies to the poison, since all the damage from the poison will massively charge everyone's Union Bursts (which also gives the added benefit of letting the player spam everyone else's Union Bursts). Thus, with enough patience, it's entirely possible to clear the boss with just one party.

Ilya, not know why they're looking for such wierd items, just assumes that they're planning on cooking something.

He's so convinced that Elizabeth Park will never be able to gather the absurd ammount of money needed to pay off their "taxes" that he starts planning to tear down the farm before the deadline even comes. However, the whole reason Elizabeth Park was popular was because of the goodwill they've built up by being honest people who do honest work. As a result, all their loyal customers, among other people who appreciate the guild, all chipped in, allowing the them to gather the requested sum ahead of schedule. The resulting chain of events leads to the auditor's corruption being exposed to both Elizabeth Park, who proceed to beat up his hired ninjas, and the royal guard, who show up to arrest him after a conspirator he bulied into helping him decided to report him.

----
!!Tropes in Princess Connect! Re:Dive:
* ADayInTheLimelight: The game frequently has story events that focuses on different characters from the cast.
* AnachronismStew: Landsol is a [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy fantasy kingdom vaguely based on Medieval Europe]] that also happens to contain [[MoreDakka gatling guns]], VideoGames, and GiantRobots.
* AuthorAppeal: Many of the girls have a tendency to [[ParentalSubstitute dote]] [[PromotionToParent on]] [[{{Manchild}} Yuuki]] [[TeamMom in]] [[AdoptivePeerParent a]] [[ReverseHikaruGenjiPlan motherly]] [[ParentalIncest fashion]]. Chief among them is Kokkoro, who interprets Ameth's oracle to serve her master faithfully as a sign to baby Yuuki and spoil him rotten, more or less becoming an unofficial adoptive mother to him. Despite being [[ImprobableAge eleven years old]].
** Taken UpToEleven by [[OlderThanTheyLook Yuni]], who has made a hobby of using her deceptively young looks to get girls younger than her to spoil her like a child while she calls them "mama".
%%* AnimationBump: The union bursts.
%%* {{Bishounen}}: The male characters that do appear tend to be this.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: As per usual with {{Creator/Cygames}}, the game is free-to-play but to get the best items, you often have to pay money via the gacha.
* BroadStrokes: ''Re:dive'' serves as a sort of sequel to the original ''Princess Connect'' but at the same time [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] certain details of the first game's plot.
* TheCameo: Some female characters from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' and ''LightNovel/ReZero'' make an appearance in this game as collaboration characters. Djeeta, the female protagonist from ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' appears as a playable character as well.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Yuuki, to ''himself''. In ''Princess Connect'' and certain flashbacks in ''Re:Dive'', he can be a bit of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and often is the OnlySaneMan. Following his memory loss in ''Re:Dive'', he more or less becomes a completely different person, becoming extremely innocent and openly kind towards others with his DeadpanSnarker tendencies being replaced with {{Cloudcuckoolander}} ones.
** Also applies to the respective poster girl of each game. Yui is a shy, regular girl proficient in healing magic while Pecorine is a boisterous PrettyPrincessPowerhouse who chops monsters up with a sword so she can [[ExtremeOmnivore grill them later.]]
* CultureChopSuey: takes place in a MedievalEuropeanFantasy with an extremely large dose of Japanese culture. Notably, despite the written language being original, the characters canonically speak Japanese, a large number of characters have Japanese names, and many Japanese foods such as onigiri, yakisoba bread and taiyaki are present. [[{{Foreshadowing}} This is an early indication that perhaps something is strange about the world.]]
* {{Crossover}}: Has had a few since its release, most prominently with characters from other games by Creator/{{Cygames}} as per Creator/{{Cygames}} tradition.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The main theme for ''Re:Dive'', "Lost Princess", is sung by the voice actors for the Gourmet Guild.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The main character is mainly known as the Princess Knight.
* FailedASpotCheck: The Kingdom of Landsol discriminates heavily against Beast people, yet the ruling regent is a Beast and nobody seems to mind at all. Christina, the ex vice captain of the palace guards, hints that there is something sinister at play by pointing this out to Tomo, her former subordinate, who is shocked at how she failed to see something so obvious up until now.
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler: In ''Re:Dive'', ''every'' character but a select few has been brainwashed into believing [[VirtualReality ''Legend of Astrum'']] to be the reality they have always inhabited, complete with NPC parents and the like. On the other hand, their fake memories are quite shoddily thrown together and are rife with contradictions, leading to quite a few TomatoInTheMirror moments as several characters manage to look beyond the WeirdnessCensor and begin to glimpse the AwfulTruth about their world.]]
* FishOutOfWater: [[spoiler: Kokkoro eventually manages to return to the real world in an android body, albeit with the majority of her memories of the real world still missing. As such, [[StrangerinaFamiliarLand she ends up being bewildered by the technologically advanced civilization she was once part of not too long ago]], and Akira has to slowly acclimate her with explanations from a Landsol cultural point of view.]]
* HateSink: Much like VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls, another {{Creator/Cygames}} title, the [[{{Lootbox}} gacha]] mechanic in the game is operated by a [[{{Expy}} green-haired secretary character]] named Karin, whose sole reason for existence is to pretty much serve as a target for all the rage players will inevitably feel when they fail to pull the character they desire from the gacha.
* HealerSignsOnEarly: One of the characters everyone gets when they start the game is Yui, a healer-type character.
* HighTurnoverRate: The vice captain position of Nightmare, the palace guards, has gone through quite a few characters. Saren left the position to run an orphanage, and Christina is fired from the position after going rogue and launching an attack on Caon.
* ImprobableAge: Much of the cast is in their teens yet have formed their own successful guilds. A special shoutout goes to Saren, who has a storied resume of having resigned from being vice-captain of the palace guards so she could become an orphanage director instead, all at the tender age of seventeen years old.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: All named playable characters, save for the main character, are female. The main character is male making him the ThatOneGuy of the cast.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Tenrou Hadanken, Muimi's trademark weapon. It boasts offensive power beyond any normal weapon and upon losing it in ''Re:Dive'', she becomes significantly more useless in a fight. [[spoiler: Upon regaining it, she immediately displays its awesome power by wiping out an enormous horde of monsters in a single swing.]]
** Fans often joke that Mimi's Carrot Sword is also an InfinityPlusOneSword rivaling the Tenrou Hadanken, as Mimi becomes an incredibly powerful attacker upon equipping it in gameplay.
* InvoluntaryTransformation: After Kasumi and Shiori gain the ability to transform into magical girls, Yuuki is able to force them to transform against their will, [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull embarrassing catchphrase]] included. This ability is only ever used on Kasumi, however, as Shiori is more than willing to transform into a magical girl at any moment's notice.
* [[spoiler: LotusEaterMachine]]: [[spoiler: The kingdom of Landsol and its surrounding world are actually part of the [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame VRMMO]] ''Legend of Astrum''. In an event that eventually became known as "Minerva's Imprisonment" in the real world, the minds of the players were [[InsideaComputerSystem trapped inside]] and {{brainwashed}} into believing it to be reality. Much of the overarching plot deals with trying to return to the real world.]]
** Ameth runs her own more benevolent version of a LotusEaterMachine, where she visits Yuuki and the girls in their dreams and has them re-experience treasured memories of theirs from That World, as part of her plan to slowly restore their memories.
* MaleGaze: For several of the characters due to being targeted to a male demographic.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: With a dash of ClarkesThirdLaw and FantasticScience. [[spoiler: ''Legend of Astrum'' was created by an organization of genius researchers known as Wisdom. Their crowning jewel and administrator of the game, Minerva, is a hyper-advanced AI labeled a technological singularity with abilities far beyond human understanding. Both Minerva and ''Legend of Astrum'' are also products of Wisdom's earlier research into supernatural phenomena, particularly their research into Muimi's powerful psychic abilities. In fact, all magic that the characters are able to use within ''Legend of Astrum'' [[MagicOrPsychic are merely theoretical replications of Muimi's abilities]]. As such, it is difficult to determine whether everything that happens within ''Legend of Astrum'' is the result of mundane technology or genuine supernatural forces at work.]]
* MurderousMalfunctioningMachine: The Nakayoshi X[[note]]Literally "Friendship X"[[/note]], a giant robot haphazardly built in a disastrous collaboration between Mercurius Foundation and the Friendship Club. It promptly razes St. Theresa Academy to the ground after being activated and proceeds to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trashtalk the members of the Friendship Club]].
* TheDogBitesBack: Happens with ''distressing'' frequency to Mana. [[spoiler: In the original ''Princess Connect'', [[TykeBomb Novem]] and [[ForcedIntoEvil Octo]] backstab her during the final battle and join the protagonists, smugly revealing that they’ve been [[DoubleAgent working with]] [[ArtificialIntelligence Minerva]] the entire time to free themselves from [[NebulousEvilOrganization Wisdom’s]] clutches. In ''Re:Dive'', Kyaru ''also'' betrays her during the final battle, pretending to accept Mana’s offer of reconciliation to return to her side, only to attempt a TakingYouWithMe via magical explosion. Christina also goes from fanatically loyal to Mana in ''Princess Connect'' to furiously trying to gut her in the final battle of ''Re:Dive'' after one too many betrayals.]]
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Seven Crowns, the villains of the original ''Princess Connect'', are the seven leaders of Wisdom, a powerful, shadowy U.N. organization behind the creation of Legend of Astrum. However, the united front they present at the start of the game slowly crumbles as the story proceeds until they become more of a NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering. In ''Re:Dive'', the Seven Crowns remain scattered until Mana sufficiently antagonizes the other members to unite ''against'' her on the side of the protagonists.
* PsychicPowers: Hatsune has these, and can use them in tandem with her magic to ''drop meteors'' on her unsuspecting enemies. The problem is that even light usage of her psychic abilities will cause her to fall asleep afterwards... and start floating in the air during her nap. Though she may not stand out that much in Landsol, where magic users are a common sight, Hatsune ''also'' possesses her psychic powers in That World, where she is terrified that she may wake up one day StrappedToAnOperatingTable as a science experiment. [[spoiler: It turns out her fears are somewhat justified, as another fellow psychic, [[TykeBomb Muimi]], grew up in a lab as a guinea pig after being discovered and taken in by [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Wisdom]].]]
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Applies to quite a few of the guilds. The queens of this trope are probably Weiss Flugel, formed by [[GermanicEfficiency Monika]] [[SuperSoldier Weisswind]] with the intention of creating an elite force of soldiers only to end up with a HighlyVisibleNinja, StalkerWithACrush, CombatSadomasochist, and an {{Androgynous}} {{Narcissist}}.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Despite being the villain, Mana is no slouch when it comes to being a competent ruler. [[spoiler: Pecorine too tries her best to keep the kingdom on course after her allies depose Mana and seat her on the throne, but realizes just how difficult the job of running a nation is.]]
* RunningGag: Yuuki gets dragged off by wolves three times in the anime's first episode.
%%* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Re:Dive'' is this to ''Princess Connect!'' after the original proved to be a critical failure, kicking out its old main trio in favor of a new trio of Pecorine, Kokkoro, and Karyl.
* TimeSkip: There's a month-long one between the Prologue and Chapter 1 of the Main Story, during which the main character meets most of the playable cast, and an even longer one between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, during which the Gourmet Guild forms and goes on most of their adventures.
* VaguenessIsComing: Upon being defeated, [[spoiler: [[BigBad Mana]] informs the protagonists that the [[BiggerBad fearsome enemy]] that she had intended on fighting is now their problem instead, but fails to elaborate before passing out.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: A considerable number of minor characters in the story are actually [[spoiler: non-sentient, [[VideoGameAI low-level]] [[ArtificialIntelligence AI]]]], and as such are treated with rather casual indifference by characters who aware of the truth of their world. At one point, a massive number of them are killed and converted into magical power and this is treated as a minor tragedy at worst.
** Subverted in the case of Kiiri, a Shadow of Kasumi who Kasumi herself captures to perform experimental research on. Over the course of several days, Kiiri develops from being unable to do anything but utter broken phases on repeat to being able to hold an extended conversation and express joy as she talks with Kasumi and Yuuki. [[spoiler: Tragically, she ultimately ends up being subject to deletion by the world, but Ameth manages to archive her data so that she can continue to interact with Kasumi and Yuuki in their dreams, acknowledging her as a rare AI that has managed to attain true sentience like herself.]]

!!Tropes in Princess Connect! Re:Dive:
* ADayInTheLimelight: The game frequently has story events that focuses on different characters from the cast.
* AnachronismStew: Landsol is a [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy fantasy kingdom vaguely based on Medieval Europe]] that also happens to contain [[MoreDakka gatling guns]], VideoGames, and GiantRobots.
* AuthorAppeal: Many of the girls have a tendency to [[ParentalSubstitute dote]] [[PromotionToParent on]] [[{{Manchild}} Yuuki]] [[TeamMom in]] [[AdoptivePeerParent a]] [[ReverseHikaruGenjiPlan motherly]] [[ParentalIncest fashion]]. Chief among them is Kokkoro, who interprets Ameth's oracle to serve her master faithfully as a sign to baby Yuuki and spoil him rotten, more or less becoming an unofficial adoptive mother to him. Despite being [[ImprobableAge eleven years old]].
** Taken UpToEleven by [[OlderThanTheyLook Yuni]], who has made a hobby of using her deceptively young looks to get girls younger than her to spoil her like a child while she calls them "mama".
%%* AnimationBump: The union bursts.
%%* {{Bishounen}}: The male characters that do appear tend to be this.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: As per usual with {{Creator/Cygames}}, the game is free-to-play but to get the best items, you often have to pay money via the gacha.
* BroadStrokes: ''Re:dive'' serves as a sort of sequel to the original ''Princess Connect'' but at the same time [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] certain details of the first game's plot.
* TheCameo: Some female characters from ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'', ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' and ''LightNovel/ReZero'' make an appearance in this game as collaboration characters. Djeeta, the female protagonist from ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' appears as a playable character as well.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Yuuki, to ''himself''. In ''Princess Connect'' and certain flashbacks in ''Re:Dive'', he can be a bit of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and often is the OnlySaneMan. Following his memory loss in ''Re:Dive'', he more or less becomes a completely different person, becoming extremely innocent and openly kind towards others with his DeadpanSnarker tendencies being replaced with {{Cloudcuckoolander}} ones.
** Also applies to the respective poster girl of each game. Yui is a shy, regular girl proficient in healing magic while Pecorine is a boisterous PrettyPrincessPowerhouse who chops monsters up with a sword so she can [[ExtremeOmnivore grill them later.]]
* CultureChopSuey: takes place in a MedievalEuropeanFantasy with an extremely large dose of Japanese culture. Notably, despite the written language being original, the characters canonically speak Japanese, a large number of characters have Japanese names, and many Japanese foods such as onigiri, yakisoba bread and taiyaki are present. [[{{Foreshadowing}} This is an early indication that perhaps something is strange about the world.]]
* {{Crossover}}: Has had a few since its release, most prominently with characters from other games by Creator/{{Cygames}} as per Creator/{{Cygames}} tradition.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The main theme for ''Re:Dive'', "Lost Princess", is sung by the voice actors for the Gourmet Guild.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The main character is mainly known as the Princess Knight.
* FailedASpotCheck: The Kingdom of Landsol discriminates heavily against Beast people, yet the ruling regent is a Beast and nobody seems to mind at all. Christina, the ex vice captain of the palace guards, hints that there is something sinister at play by pointing this out to Tomo, her former subordinate, who is shocked at how she failed to see something so obvious up until now.
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler: In ''Re:Dive'', ''every'' character but a select few has been brainwashed into believing [[VirtualReality ''Legend of Astrum'']] to be the reality they have always inhabited, complete with NPC parents and the like. On the other hand, their fake memories are quite shoddily thrown together and are rife with contradictions, leading to quite a few TomatoInTheMirror moments as several characters manage to look beyond the WeirdnessCensor and begin to glimpse the AwfulTruth about their world.]]
* FishOutOfWater: [[spoiler: Kokkoro eventually manages to return to the real world in an android body, albeit with the majority of her memories of the real world still missing. As such, [[StrangerinaFamiliarLand she ends up being bewildered by the technologically advanced civilization she was once part of not too long ago]], and Akira has to slowly acclimate her with explanations from a Landsol cultural point of view.]]
* HateSink: Much like VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls, another {{Creator/Cygames}} title, the [[{{Lootbox}} gacha]] mechanic in the game is operated by a [[{{Expy}} green-haired secretary character]] named Karin, whose sole reason for existence is to pretty much serve as a target for all the rage players will inevitably feel when they fail to pull the character they desire from the gacha.
* HealerSignsOnEarly: One of the characters everyone gets when they start the game is Yui, a healer-type character.
* HighTurnoverRate: The vice captain position of Nightmare, the palace guards, has gone through quite a few characters. Saren left the position to run an orphanage, and Christina is fired from the position after going rogue and launching an attack on Caon.
* ImprobableAge: Much of the cast is in their teens yet have formed their own successful guilds. A special shoutout goes to Saren, who has a storied resume of having resigned from being vice-captain of the palace guards so she could become an orphanage director instead, all at the tender age of seventeen years old.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: All named playable characters, save for the main character, are female. The main character is male making him the ThatOneGuy of the cast.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Tenrou Hadanken, Muimi's trademark weapon. It boasts offensive power beyond any normal weapon and upon losing it in ''Re:Dive'', she becomes significantly more useless in a fight. [[spoiler: Upon regaining it, she immediately displays its awesome power by wiping out an enormous horde of monsters in a single swing.]]
** Fans often joke that Mimi's Carrot Sword is also an InfinityPlusOneSword rivaling the Tenrou Hadanken, as Mimi becomes an incredibly powerful attacker upon equipping it in gameplay.
* InvoluntaryTransformation: After Kasumi and Shiori gain the ability to transform into magical girls, Yuuki is able to force them to transform against their will, [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull embarrassing catchphrase]] included. This ability is only ever used on Kasumi, however, as Shiori is more than willing to transform into a magical girl at any moment's notice.
* [[spoiler: LotusEaterMachine]]: [[spoiler: The kingdom of Landsol and its surrounding world are actually part of the [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame VRMMO]] ''Legend of Astrum''. In an event that eventually became known as "Minerva's Imprisonment" in the real world, the minds of the players were [[InsideaComputerSystem trapped inside]] and {{brainwashed}} into believing it to be reality. Much of the overarching plot deals with trying to return to the real world.]]
** Ameth runs her own more benevolent version of a LotusEaterMachine, where she visits Yuuki and the girls in their dreams and has them re-experience treasured memories of theirs from That World, as part of her plan to slowly restore their memories.
* MaleGaze: For several of the characters due to being targeted to a male demographic.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: With a dash of ClarkesThirdLaw and FantasticScience. [[spoiler: ''Legend of Astrum'' was created by an organization of genius researchers known as Wisdom. Their crowning jewel and administrator of the game, Minerva, is a hyper-advanced AI labeled a technological singularity with abilities far beyond human understanding. Both Minerva and ''Legend of Astrum'' are also products of Wisdom's earlier research into supernatural phenomena, particularly their research into Muimi's powerful psychic abilities. In fact, all magic that the characters are able to use within ''Legend of Astrum'' [[MagicOrPsychic are merely theoretical replications of Muimi's abilities]]. As such, it is difficult to determine whether everything that happens within ''Legend of Astrum'' is the result of mundane technology or genuine supernatural forces at work.]]
* MurderousMalfunctioningMachine: The Nakayoshi X[[note]]Literally "Friendship X"[[/note]], a giant robot haphazardly built in a disastrous collaboration between Mercurius Foundation and the Friendship Club. It promptly razes St. Theresa Academy to the ground after being activated and proceeds to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trashtalk the members of the Friendship Club]].
* TheDogBitesBack: Happens with ''distressing'' frequency to Mana. [[spoiler: In the original ''Princess Connect'', [[TykeBomb Novem]] and [[ForcedIntoEvil Octo]] backstab her during the final battle and join the protagonists, smugly revealing that they’ve been [[DoubleAgent working with]] [[ArtificialIntelligence Minerva]] the entire time to free themselves from [[NebulousEvilOrganization Wisdom’s]] clutches. In ''Re:Dive'', Kyaru ''also'' betrays her during the final battle, pretending to accept Mana’s offer of reconciliation to return to her side, only to attempt a TakingYouWithMe via magical explosion. Christina also goes from fanatically loyal to Mana in ''Princess Connect'' to furiously trying to gut her in the final battle of ''Re:Dive'' after one too many betrayals.]]
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Seven Crowns, the villains of the original ''Princess Connect'', are the seven leaders of Wisdom, a powerful, shadowy U.N. organization behind the creation of Legend of Astrum. However, the united front they present at the start of the game slowly crumbles as the story proceeds until they become more of a NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering. In ''Re:Dive'', the Seven Crowns remain scattered until Mana sufficiently antagonizes the other members to unite ''against'' her on the side of the protagonists.
* PsychicPowers: Hatsune has these, and can use them in tandem with her magic to ''drop meteors'' on her unsuspecting enemies. The problem is that even light usage of her psychic abilities will cause her to fall asleep afterwards... and start floating in the air during her nap. Though she may not stand out that much in Landsol, where magic users are a common sight, Hatsune ''also'' possesses her psychic powers in That World, where she is terrified that she may wake up one day StrappedToAnOperatingTable as a science experiment. [[spoiler: It turns out her fears are somewhat justified, as another fellow psychic, [[TykeBomb Muimi]], grew up in a lab as a guinea pig after being discovered and taken in by [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Wisdom]].]]
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Applies to quite a few of the guilds. The queens of this trope are probably Weiss Flugel, formed by [[GermanicEfficiency Monika]] [[SuperSoldier Weisswind]] with the intention of creating an elite force of soldiers only to end up with a HighlyVisibleNinja, StalkerWithACrush, CombatSadomasochist, and an {{Androgynous}} {{Narcissist}}.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Despite being the villain, Mana is no slouch when it comes to being a competent ruler. [[spoiler: Pecorine too tries her best to keep the kingdom on course after her allies depose Mana and seat her on the throne, but realizes just how difficult the job of running a nation is.]]
* RunningGag: Yuuki gets dragged off by wolves three times in the anime's first episode.
%%* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Re:Dive'' is this to ''Princess Connect!'' after the original proved to be a critical failure, kicking out its old main trio in favor of a new trio of Pecorine, Kokkoro, and Karyl.
* TimeSkip: There's a month-long one between the Prologue and Chapter 1 of the Main Story, during which the main character meets most of the playable cast, and an even longer one between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, during which the Gourmet Guild forms and goes on most of their adventures.
* VaguenessIsComing: Upon being defeated, [[spoiler: [[BigBad Mana]] informs the protagonists that the [[BiggerBad fearsome enemy]] that she had intended on fighting is now their problem instead, but fails to elaborate before passing out.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: A considerable number of minor characters in the story are actually [[spoiler: non-sentient, [[VideoGameAI low-level]] [[ArtificialIntelligence AI]]]], and as such are treated with rather casual indifference by characters who aware of the truth of their world. At one point, a massive number of them are killed and converted into magical power and this is treated as a minor tragedy at worst.
** Subverted in the case of Kiiri, a Shadow of Kasumi who Kasumi herself captures to perform experimental research on. Over the course of several days, Kiiri develops from being unable to do anything but utter broken phases on repeat to being able to hold an extended conversation and express joy as she talks with Kasumi and Yuuki. [[spoiler: Tragically, she ultimately ends up being subject to deletion by the world, but Ameth manages to archive her data so that she can continue to interact with Kasumi and Yuuki in their dreams, acknowledging her as a rare AI that has managed to attain true sentience like herself.]]
