Episode 04

Defense and Second Event is the 4th episode in the Bofuri anime series.

Summary
Sometime after the event began, Maple and Sally wander through an endlessly grassy plain until Maple discovers a hidden dungeon on the ground. Following a long tunnelway, they reach the boss room, where they find the Demonic Jester boss. They defeat the boss through their combined efforts, allowing them to earn their first medals.

Outside the dungeon, it's decided that they head to the mountains next, where they run into Chrome's party the following day. After a brief chat with Chrome's party, Maple and Sally allow the party to go into the dungeon warp before them. However, the warp reactivates moments later, and Sally assumes two possibilities, good and bad. Going in after them, Maple and Sally face off against a powerful ice bird boss, Silverwing, whose overly powerful moves manage to overpower Maple's defenses heavily. Pushing their skills to their limits, Maple and Sally eventually manage to defeat Silverwing with minimal health remaining. The spoils of their victory include more medals and crafting materials, including a pair of Monster Eggs. As the two head out of the area unbeknownst to them, Maple and Sally are observed by the game developers, who were in a panic-stricken mood after defeating the Silverwing Boss.

Eventually, Maple and Sally hatch their monster eggs close by a riverside, and each hatch into a turtle and fox companion. They're respectively named Syrup and Oboro. Maple and Sally receive a special ring from the monsters' eggshells that allows them to tame their monsters. Afterward, the girls level up their monsters to level three, allowing the monsters to gain the skills Hibernate and Awaken.

Eventually, the girls reach a desert oasis, where Kasumi, the swordswoman, who placed in 6th in the previous event, challenges them.
