＜Story.
After the battle is over, Sonia is no longer a "knight" but a "princess" who performs her official duties on a daily basis.
She is currently troubled by the fact that she is unable to move after receiving the news of Youma's disappearance. One day, amidst the clamor of Marga, she sees a figure that looks like Zest.
Why would he be there?
The question that comes to my mind. I can't miss him.
Suppressing her desire to go after Youma immediately, she takes the contract board as a clue as the "princess".

＜STORY
Rinna, a spirit user from the elven kingdom of Welland, has supported Kirika since she was a child.
She plans a surprise party in order to restore the Umineko Tei to its normal life, which has gradually changed since the disappearance of the hero, Yuma.
With the invitations she made all night long in her hands, she heads for everyone, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
She calls out to the usual members of the group, including Kirika, Sonia, and Exella, but they seem too busy to pay her any attention, so Rinna sets her sights on other worlds. ......

<Tips
Steel Dive
Riding on a tranrod that has been energized with magic power, she charges at her opponent.
The distance of the thrust changes depending on the button.

Steel Dive Air
Riding a trans-rod from the air, the user descends at an angle.
This is a good way to get into the opponent's pocket with an attack.

0Itadakimasu!
Rinna's charming throwing kiss has the effect of taking away the power of the opponent, making him or her melt, regardless of gender, and increasing his or her own magic level.

I'm going to go for the big one!
This is a profound technique that calls upon the spirits of the wind to create a violent storm that engulfs all.
By increasing its magic level, the attack becomes even more powerful.

0Wish upon a star!
A meteoroids summoned from the sky strike the opponent and cause a huge explosion.
Few know that she is Alfheim's foremost spirit user.

A new element, the "Skill System," has been added!
This title features the new "Skill System" as a challenging element!
By accumulating points through network battles, etc. and pouring them into the "contract board," players can acquire skills and materials (items) for each character.

0Skills
Skills are acquired from the "Contract Board" and can be set to produce a specified effect.

Examples of common skills
Warrior Power: Increases attack power by 2
Aura: Support link gauge accumulates 1% per second
First move kill : 0.1 additional force gauge at the start of the attack
Speed Action : AP Gauge accumulates 50% faster
Selfless : Force Gauge accumulates when emoting (only once per round)
The new system allows for a variety of battle styles, depending on your ingenuity, from those that directly affect damage, such as increased attack power, to more applied uses, such as using gauge-related skills to connect combos that were previously unconnected.
In addition, each character has powerful skills that are unique to each character, and their effects are also reflected on their partners, making partner selection more important than ever before.

0Materials (items)
Materials (items) can be specified at the start of a match to produce extremely powerful effects.

Example of materials
Seal of Soul: 5% increase in physical strength (all rounds)
Seal of Force - All: 10% increase in Force Gauge (all rounds)
Seal of Friendship: 40% increase in Support Link Gauge (all rounds)
Friendship match ticket: Even if you lose the match, you will receive the same number of skill points as if you won
Super Sorbae-kun doll: Double the skill points you receive.
However, you can use it according to your purpose, such as "I really want to win at the end of the day" or "I want to concentrate on developing this character.
Of course, those who are good at the game can enjoy the game in various ways, for example, by using the traditional style without using skills and materials (items) to fight against rivals.

In this title, players can compete against rivals from around the world via the Internet!
