Intro Scene[]
Parrah:
Farewell. My name is Parrah.
Noya:
My name is Noya.
Parrah:
This is where all worlds converge...
The Library.
Noya:
Pick you battles, take your winnings.
Parrah:
But know that everything comes at a price.
Noya:
All is as you imagine...
Parrah:
All is a you desire...
Noya:
What sort of future awaits you?
Parrah:
What sort of desires will you indulge in?
Noya:
We're not lookin' forward to this, are we, Parrah?
Parrah:
Lookin' forward to it is all we can do, Noya.
Noya:
Keh heh... Hee hee hee!
Parrah:
Kee-hee-hee!
Noya:

Parrah:

Noya:

Parrah:

Noya:
Oh? Not finished yet?
Parrah:

Noya:
The download just won't end?
Parrah:
...
Noya:
......
Parrah:
......
Noya:
Look! The download finished! It's finished!
Parrah:
Well then, let's look back on the worst year ever.
Noya:
The story's about to start.
Parrah:
A vicarious experience is about to begin.
Noya:
It's gonna start!
Verse 1[]
In order to make this first anniversary
an unforgettable one, Parrah and Noya
set out to hunt down a popular nightmare.
"Management's had a rough year.
They deserve a little gift."
"Just a tweak here, a modification there,
and it'll be all set for shipping."
"Boy, will they be pleased when
our sales blow through the roof!"
For these sadistic puppets, being...
thoughtful was far from the ordinary.
Just then, they noticed a small
quivering shadow nearby.
"Let's get started then! Starting with
snagging that puny nightmare over there."
"P-please wait! I... I'm not...
I-I'm not a bad clam!"
※
Lammy:
I'm Lammy!
I'm not a bad clam!
Parrah:
Well whatd'ya know!
It's the clam Sleeping Beauty and
Little Mermaid saved back then!
Noya:
As if we got time to deal with you.
Parrah:
(Hold your horses, Noya.)
(We can use him as food to make the
popular nightmare even stronger.)
Noya:
(Good thinkin'.)
Alrighty, then!
You come along with us!
Parrah:
If you do...
Maybe you'll see your Mama and Sissy again!
Lammy:
Thank you! I will!
※
Taking the clam Lammy (as food),
Parrah and Noya started off on their
journey for the most popular nightmare.
Thanks to a recent survey conducted by
management on the Library's most popular
nightmares, the pair of puppets had a good
idea where to begin their search.
"I got the survey."
"If we capture the #1 ranking nightmare
on this list we'll be all set!"
"Perfect! We'll start from bottom up!"
Verse 2[]
Top Nightmare Rankings #5
One of the earlier released nightmares.
Release date:
August 20, 2020
Cecilia, the Crimson Banisher
Furing the pre-registration period prior
to the game's release, we had users
submit a name for this one.
And the results returned with
Cecelia, the Crimson Banisher
as the official name.
※
Lammy:
This one got it's name by popular user vote.
That's so unfair.
My name was given to me, too!
By Sissy!
I really like the name Lammy.
Parrah:
Just look at Cecilia.
Her appearance beams awesomeness.
Noya:
She made the popular list thanks to her handy debuff skill.
※
Though the name was given by
popular vote, its release came as
an exclusive store purchase that
didn't turn out well for management
and was considered a failure
"That's what you get for money grabbin'."
"The users were too easy on 'em."
Verse 3[]
Top Nightmare Rankings #4
Release date:
October 20, 2020
Dryas, Mistletoe Linchpin
Released on Halloween 2020.
When Dryas was introduced,
it was during the simultaneous
Gran Election #1 event.
※
Lammy:
She ain't easy to fall either with that whole tree thing goin' on.
She's tied to the roots.
I'm connected to a shell, but...
I guess that's not as resilient as roots, huh?
Parrah:
Oh boy.
Mistletoe Linchpin.
Noya:
The very first nightmare who massively boosts the effectiveness of affinities.
Parrah:
Talk about one tough cookie.
※
In this event everyone voted for
their favorite characters.
Snow White took first place in that event,
proving her overwhelming popularity on both
the JP and Global Servers.
Shortly after this, Snow White appeared in
her own exclusive grimoire with a new class.
"It's all about the revenue, eh?"
"It's all they got goin' for 'em."
Verse 4[]
"Not bad! Not bad! So far they're all very promising!"
"I can't wait to see who made it to #1."
Verse 5[]
Top Nightmare Rankings #3
Release date:
March 4, 2021
Rikone, Nine-tailed Rejection
It was a really exciting time when
Rikone appeared because it was
SINoALICE's very first simultaneous collaboration
(That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)
on both the Global and the JP server.
※
Lammy:
Wow! She's really cute!
She's even got nine tails!
I bet she's really strong...
Parrah:
Rikone could have made the list just on looks alone.
Noya:
But fire affinities get a massive power-up effect with her skill.
Parrah:
A MUST-HAVE for Colosseum finals.
※
A double release of Rikone
and a simultaneous collaboration.
This event is what sparked management's
interest in planning more worldwide events
such as the NieR Replicant event.
"Of course they would!
It's money in the bank to them!"
"We'll probably see more of it
in the future, too."
Verse 6[]
Top Nightmare Rankings #2
Release date:
January 1, 2021
Yuno, The Dark Loner
SINoALICE Global was celebrating its
6th Month Anniversary and this nightmare
was one of its big features.
※
Lammy:
What a beautiful lady...
I can totally see why she's popular.
Parrah:
Yuno here is the go-to for a massive water boost effect.
Besides, just look at her!
Why wouldn't you vote for her?
Noya:
She checks all the boxes for #1.
Parrah:
Which means, whichever nightmare outshined this gal
has gotta be some ultra powerful, almight, god-like being!
※
Other features of the celebration were
the introduction of International classes
and free x11 grimoires.
While not as big as this 1st anniversary event,
it was still a very exciting time.
Compared to the 6th Month Anniversary event,
this 1st anniversary event lineup
is much more extensive.
"Yeah, extensive in their money making schemes."
"Hasn't anyone tried suggesting
other measures to celebrate?"
Verse 7[]
(Noya, we've reach the #1 nightmare.
Feed it the clam so it can power-up once we catch it.)
(You don't needa remind me. I'm on it.)
Verse 8[]
Top Nightmare Rankings #1
Release date:
August 20, 2020 in the event
An End to Summer Dreams
Lammy
In this event, this little clam was
rescued by and then traveled with
Sleeping Beauty and Little Mermaid.
It was then that Sleeping Beauty gave him
the name of Lammy and became like family
to them.
Although a simple clam, his adorable
appearance created a fan base that took
management by surprise.
※
Parrah:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Noya:
KEHEHEHEHHEHEHHE!!!
Parrah:
Lammy?! Have we've been punk'd?!
Noya:
This puny chowder meat is #1???!
Lammy:
Me?! I'm #1?!
Do you really mean that?!
I don't want to believe it but...
Parrah:
It is what it is.
Noya:
Yeppers. In that case...
※
Parrah and Noya were at a loss for words.
The clam they had originally hoped to use
as a power booster meal was none other the
#1 nightmare they been searching for all along.
"Welp, I guess it's a clam we're bulkin' up then."
"And as the booster meal, we ca use another thing
that made the popularity list."
Verse 9[]
#1 ranked post popular
management member
SINoALICE Global's
assistant producer
Kat
He appeared on SINoALICE LIVE
and became an instant hit thanks to
being caught in the middle between
management policies and user demands.
※
Lammy:
WHAAAT?!
You want to feed a management member to me?!
I can't! They're all valuable people. It's impossible...
Parrah:
Valuable?
They just want to milk users of their cash, and rake in the profits.
Noya:
Consider it punishment.
Parrah:
Open wide, Lammy-boy!
※
Parrah:
So what's it gunna be?
Noya:
Make a meal out of Kat and power-up,
or keep the clam as he is?
Parrah:
If you choose save Kat's bum,
Lammy-boy will be bound to the bottom of the food cahin.
Noya:
Now that's clear, please decide.
Parrah:
But remember, whichever you choose...
Parrah & Noya:
It was your decision.
(Feed)
(Don't Feed)
Parrah: - (Feed)
That's a greedy choice.
But that desire is enough for us.
Parrah: - (Don't Feed)
Welp, it is Lammy we're dealing with.
It's all about that genuine desire.
Noya:
Let's give management the benefit of the doubt and turn a blind-eye this time.
Parrah:
Sadly, we still need people to run operations around here.
Noya:
BUUUT, we gotta keeo the order in this world, too.
Lammy. A magical transformation awaits you my friend.
Parrah:
Just accept it.
Noya:
There's no escaping your fate.
Parrah:
Now... With this power, you shall-
Parrah & Noya:
-transform into a stronger being!
Verse 10[]
Salesman (Wind):
Think of all the players.
Make SINoALICE Global great again!
Put an end to the useless spending.
Its not easy running a social game.
But that choice is on the players themselves.
It's them who choose to keep playing or not.
All we can do is work our hardest.
Thank you for helping us reach our 1st Anniversary.
Ending Scene[]
Parrah:
After this, it's nothign but business.
Noya:
A story about greedily making money, and...
Parrah:
That will have only a tiny effect on your salary.
Noya:
It was just an idle complaint about the management.
Parrah:
I'm giving up.
Noya:
I couldn't care less about that...
Parrah:
We went ahead and upgraded the-
Noya:
-most popular nightmare in the rankings.
Parrah:
There's still a whole buncha 1st Anniversary-
Noya:
-events to go, so just hang tight.
Parrah:
'Cause ya know, we're still going strong.
Noya:
They didn't abandon the bad management.
Parrah:
It's all thanks to everyone.
Noya:
Thank you all very much.
Parrah:
......
Noya:
...
Parrah:
Well then...
Noya:
Please continue enjoying SINoALICE.
Parrah:
We'll try to make this a somewhat enjoyable experience for you.
Noya:
Until when?
Parrah:
For the rest of forever, I suppose?
Noya:
Only time will tell.
Parrah:
We're not lookin' forward to this, are we Noya?
Noya:
Lookin' forward to it is all we can do, Parrah.
Parrah:
Keh heh... Hee hee hee!
Noya:
Kee-hee-hee!
