Itai no wa Iya nano de Bōgyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. - Episode Guide

Convinced by her friend Risa to try "NewWorld Online", Kaede begins her VRMMO adventure by going all-in on defense because she doesn't want to get hurt.

Maple enters a battle royal and is hunted down by a horde of players. Risa uses her swimming talent to explore an underwater cave with her character Sally.

After Maple gets nerfed, her and Sally do some exploring before challenging the dungeon that leads to the second level. Can they clear it in time for the second event?

Though Maple and Sally get off to a clumsy start in the second event, their tenacity and teamwork is rewarded in more ways than one.

Maple and Sally make new friends and fall into more trouble as the second event winds down. But to reach their goal of 20 medals, they may have to resort to PvP.

Maple leaps at the chance to create a guild and searches for a place to call home. But to compete in the upcoming event, they'll need to recruit more help.

Everyone in the guild is hard at work leveling up and preparing for what's to come. Maple manages to "cheese" her way through a quest to help a sick NPC.

The third event is packed with people making it hard to compete for cowbells. Following the event, Maple gets into gear to explore new content on the third level.

Guilds prepare for all-out war as the big competition finally begins. But sneaky Sally has some tricks up her sleeve that hopefully gives them the upper hand.

Sally faces certain death and there's trouble back at the base. Despite having a good start, if the guild hopes to place top ten, Maple Tree must go on the attack.

Maple Tree is vastly outnumbered and struggles to stay on the board. As guilds get wiped out left and right, they must face a mighty foe that may be their undoing.

Maple may have maxed out her defense, but can she protect her friends and base from a legendary player? This time, Maple may have met her match.

As Christmas draws near, New World Online finally releases Level 4 concurrently with a special holiday event in which rare and exclusive items are at stake.

Maple's guildmates must explore Level 5 without her while she recovers from a cold. Right after Maple finally gets a chance to see Level 5, the gang finds out that Level 6 is already on the way, but this time it's Sally who can't seem to go in.

New World Online's seventh event begins, and it's a battle tower event with multiple difficulty levels. Maple and Sally team up to take on the highest difficulty level, giving the game's admins more than they bargained.

Maple and Sally continue to work their way up the ten floors of the tower as they attempt to complete the event before anyone else.

Level 7 has been released, and it introduces a new feature: players can now tame monsters. The members of Maple Tree explore the new level in search of their ideal companions.

The members of Maple Tree continue their searches for monster companions. Iz's search leads her on a quest to find rare materials in challenging areas, so she asks Maple and Mii for help.

With the eighth event about to start, Maple and Sally decide to leisurely explore Level 7. Their plans quickly change when they stumble upon a strange crystal...

The preliminary round of the eighth event finally begins. The members of Maple Tree fight their hardest, making the most of their new monster companions, in hopes of ranking high for the main event.

The main portion of the eighth event begins. The members of Maple Tree work as two teams to try to acquire medals, then come back together to set up a base for protection against the stronger monsters that come out at night.

The second day of the eighth event begins with forced teleports that send players in all directions, a dark void that swallows up some parties' bases, and the disabling of maps. On top of all this, those who survived the first night are left to fight either alone or with members of rival guilds.

Maple Tree, Order of the Holy Sword, and Flame Emperors have all come together in Maple Tree's base. Assorted members from all three guilds form parties to head out and fight monsters so they can earn more medals during the second night of the event.

The third and final day of the eighth event brings the strongest monsters yet. Maple Tree, Flame Emperors, and Order of the Holy Sword work together to fight off the final onslaught. The goal is to make it to the end of the event alive...
