Girls Gone Astray

Girls Gone Astray is a ranking event in which you compete with other players to earn enough Girl Power to be placed in a certain rank. Girl Power can be earned through battles in the event story or certain quests.

The event has a first and second half, with separate rankings and rewards for each half. The higher your rank, the better the rewards! There are also rewards based on the total amount of Girl Power earned during the first and second halves of the event.

To access the Event screen, tap "Happening Now!" on the World screen.

Rewards
There are two kinds of rewards: Total Girl Power Rewards and Rank Rewards. Higher rank and more Girl Power mean better rewards!

Total Girl Power Rewards
These rewards are given based on the total amount of Girl Power that you earn during both halves of the event. After getting the requisite number of Girl Power, once you enter the event screen, the reward(s) will be sent to your Inbox.

Rank Rewards
These rewards are given based on the total amount of Girl Power that you earn during each half of the event. Each half features different rewards.

There are eight ranks beginning with E and ending with Z, with better rewards as you advance from E to Z.

Story
The story is divided into Part One and Part Two. To play Part Two, you must first complete Part One. As you play through the story, you will unlock separate quests that you can play via the Quests screen.

Part One
We bid the old year farewell and usher in a new year.

Old and new boundaries touch for but the briefest of moments, and all things are once again renewed.

The great tree, who had lived for more seasons than there were leaves on the ground, swayed in wide arches during each changeover.

Ayana: ...Where am I?

Ayana: But wasn’t I just making an offering with everyone…?

(Orblings appear.)

Ayana: What!?

???: This way!

Ayana: Eh…!?

???: Get your head out of the clouds! Hurry or you’ll be killed!

Ayana: Waaaaa!

Ayana: What just happened back there!? It’s like some kind of magic…!? By the way… who are you?

???: You can call me Chelsea. And you are…?

Ayana: Oh, my name is Ayana. ...Where in the world are we?

Chelsea: No idea. Maybe we’re in heaven.

Ayana: What!? You’re kidding, right!?

Chelsea: Of course. Honestly though, I haven’t the slightest idea where we are.

Ayana: Me, neither… Ah! Maybe we’re in the land of the gods!

Chelsea: Where did that come from!?

Ayana: Just a while ago, I was in a land of the gods, of sorts. Have you ever heard of a Shinto shrine?

Chelsea: Yeah. I was just in one too, actually. The first visit for the New Year, right?

Ayana: Yeah! Oh, I see… With that outfit… That’s gotta be it.

Chelsea: For a “land of the gods,” it’s pretty chaotic, huh? What do we do now?

Ayana: Let’s pick a direction and go. Isn’t it boring to just stay here? If we ARE dreaming, it’d be an awful waste to not make the most of it.

Chelsea: Hmmm… You’re right. There also might be other people in here besides us. I’ll go with you wherever you decide to go, Ayana. I think you can be a great leader!

Ayana: You think so? Thanks!

-

Ayana: Hey, I was just thinking. That band on your left ring finger…

Chelsea: Oh, you mean this ring?

Ayana: Were you with someone?

Chelsea: Yes, I was with my boyfriend. The New Year’s visit to a shrine is a typical date for couples, right? But I don’t think I’ll find him here.

Ayana: How do you know that?

Chelsea: Just a feeling I have. My instincts are pretty sharp, y’know. Hey… Can I ask you something too?

Ayana: Sure, ask away.

Chelsea: You’re not the sporty type, are you?

Ayana: Nah… but how’d you guess?

Chelsea: Well, your posture looks stiff and…

Ayana: Oh…?

Chelsea: And your obsession with cleanliness? You’re always making sure that you don’t get your clothes dirty. Am I right?

Ayana: You weren’t kidding about being sharp… nothing escapes your sight, huh?

Chelsea: But… you’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

Ayana: What makes you say that?

Chelsea: The way you’re going with the flow right now… dancing to the music, so to speak. Do you dance? The way you move makes me think that you do.

Ayana: Yes, but… I’m pretty terrible at it.

Chelsea: Haha! Quit pouting. You should take praise where you can get it. Seeing you leaping and jumping around, it looked like you were having fun.

Ayana: Did it look like that, really? I try to look on the bright side of any situation. That’s all.

Chelsea: That’s a good attitude. “Nothing’s gonna keep this kid down,” I was thinking.

Ayana: I don’t know about that…

Chelsea: What was that just now!?

Ayana: You heard it, too!? Let’s go!

Chelsea: Yeah!

-

Ayana: Wait! There’s too many of them!

Chelsea: There’s no other way, is there?

Ayana: None. But if we keep going, we might get surrounded…

Chelsea: …What should we do?

Ayana: Maybe… try luring them out one by one?

Chelsea: Not bad at all. You’ve got a fine head on your shoulders.

Ayana: Not really…

Chelsea: You really are enjoying this…

Ayana: You might think this is a silly thing to say, but… Somehow, this all feels like a game. We can use magic, and there are monsters…

Chelsea: G-game, huh? I haven’t played many of those, but… you may be right. If that’s the case, I kinda wish that she was here along for the ride…

Ayana: Huh…?

Chelsea: Nothing. Let’s try your idea!

-

Chelsea: We did it… we got through!

Ayana: Yeah! But… it looks like there’s nobody here…

Chelsea: Wait… somebody left footprints!

Ayana: Let’s follow them!

Chelsea: Okay!

(Unlock Chelsea’s quest.)

-

Ayana: They’re over there!

???: No!! Stay away! Get away!!

Chelsea: We’re here to help! Just stay put!

???: O-okay!

Ayana: Are you alright?

???: Y-yes…

Chelsea: Did you also lose your way? I’m Chelsea, and she’s Ayana.

Ayana: Nice to meet you. We also don’t know where we are, or what’s going on. But I think you should stick with us. Let’s all work together on staying alive.

???: I’m Shannen. This might just be heaven…

Ayana: What!? What do you mean?

Shannen: I’ve never seen this place before.

Chelsea: Well, that’s not conclusive. Surely you haven’t been everywhere, right?

Shannen: I may not have been everywhere, but I’ve read about everything. If I haven’t read about somewhere, then it simply doesn’t exist.

Ayana: Hmm…

Chelsea: She’s a little weird, isn’t she…?

Shannen: Huh? Did you say something?

Ayana: B-but it’s reassuring now that there’s three of us here! Looks like our odds of survival just got a lot better!

Chelsea: Ayana, don’t tell me you’re starting to feel right at home here…

Ayana: I’m looking on the bright side, whatever the situation, that’s all… Just like Papa and Mama taught me.

Shannen: That’s not a bad idea. I’ll remember that when I’m slogging through a particularly dense book.

Chelsea: Ah, so Shannen is into books.

Shannen: I guess you could say that. I mean, I practically live in a library.

Ayana: R-really? That’s awesome! Anyways let’s solve the mystery of this world. There must be a way for us to get out.

Shannen: What are the chances of that happening?

Chelsea: What kind of question is that!?

Ayana: ...Since there is an entrance, there should also be an exit. Good and bad always go together. It’s a 100% chance any way you look at it!

Shannen: Alright, I’ll trust you.

Chelsea: You will!? Well, I guess I will, too.

Ayana: Let’s go!

-

???: Hey!!

Chelsea: Look, there’s someone there!

???: Oh, good, someone’s here! Are any of you doctors?!

Ayana: I’m afraid not… what’s wrong?

???: There’s a wounded person here!

Ayana: Oh no! We’ve gotta help them!

Shannen: I’ve read all kinds of medical literature. Maybe some of that knowledge can be put to good use.

???: P-please follow me!

Chelsea: Hold up! What’s your name?

???: Er, Jodie. My surname changes all the time, so it’s okay to remember just my first name!

-

Jodie: Oh no!!

Ayana: She’s surrounded!

Chelsea: Is that the wounded person!? Wait a min--TIFFANA?!

Shannen: You know her?

Chelsea: When we were kids, we lived in the same neighborhood… Hey, this looks pretty bad… why are there so many…?

Ayana: What are you waiting for? We’ve gotta help your friend! Come on!

Tiffana: ...Ugh…

Ayana: How are you feeling, Tiffana?

Tiffana: Huh…? You are…?

Chelsea: This is Ayana. She’s Shannen. And here’s the one who saved you. Her name’s Jodie.

Jodie: You sure you’re okay?

Tiffana: Uh… yeah, I guess…

Ayana: We’re all friends here, so rest easy. Did you also lose you way?

Tiffana: ...Friends? Wait… CHELSEA?!

Cheslea: Yeah, Tiffana! Thank heavens you’re okay! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I remember you loved to play games way back when… doesn’t this place feel like you’re living a retro game?

Ayana: Huh? Chelsea… earlier you said you hadn’t played any games before…

Tiffana: Are you kidding? This girl’s got a dependent nature, which means she’s perfect for games.

Chelsea: Umm… actually… that’s a secret I’m keeping from my school friends…

Tiffana: Just as I thought… your style has really come into its own, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Well, I’m at that age when one’s gotta be fashionable!

Tiffana: Great. That makes one of us.

Shannen: I hate to interrupt your little reunion, but do you two plan on catching up until the sun rises? We’ve got more pressing matters to attend to…

Ayana: Y-you’re right… It’s gotten pretty cold, huh?

Chelsea: Now you’re saying it’s cold!? I’ve already gotten used to it.

Jodie: I’ve gotcha covered! I found a run-down lodge not far from here earlier. You gals wanna check it out?

Ayana: Yeah, let’s go.

Part Two
The dilapidated lodge was barely able to keep the five girls warm.

They spent a noisy night huddled together inside. When they were through with the place, the hearth was empty, the door had come off of its hinges, and the roof had caved in from the built-up snow.

It was as if the lodge was made expressly for the purpose of sheltering the five girls for a single fateful night.

Outside the skies were perfectly clear. The thin blanket of snow softly reflected the light of the blazing sun.

For the five girls, some raised in the shadows of skyscrapers and others in the heat of the south, this winter wonderland was a rare and beautiful sight.

Though still puzzled by this strange world they found themselves in, the girls soon began to enjoy their time there.

-

Jodie: That was close! Who’d have thought that the lodge would just collapse the second we stepped out…?

Ayana: Is everyone alright? Hope you guys didn’t forget anything in there!

Tiffana: Ugh… I was hoping to at least change clothes.

Jodie: Wearing the same undies for a day or two should be fine, right?

Ayana: No, two-day undies are not to be taken lightly… I always keep a fresh pair with me for emergencies, but…

Tiffana: Not the sort of thing you can lend to someone, huh?

Shannen: Hang on… emergency, emergency… That’s right! I was always told to check my phone in an emergency!

Ayana: Why didn’t you think of that sooner!? So… is there a signal?

Shannen: Let’s see… dang. “Out of range.” Wi-Fi doesn’t work, either.

Tiffana: Take a look around. Do you see any cell towers?

Ayana: You know what else a phone is good for? Selfies! C’mon, let’s take one to commemorate our meeting!

Jodie: I’m down! Let’s do it!

Tiffana: S-selfie? How do we take one?

Ayana: First, we all gotta get close. C’mon, make sure you’re in the frame!

Ayana: We did it! That looks good!

Jodie: Well then, let’s get on with the second day of our exploration!

Ayana: Yeah, let’s get going, everyone!

Chelsea: Why does this remind me of that field trip in grade school…?

-

Jodie: Having said that… we gotta figure out where we’re going before we can get there.

Ayana: Hey, who’s that over there? Am I seeing things? (It appears to be Sarah.)

Shannen: Looks like a woman… but that’s strange. Is that a sword she’s carrying…?

Tiffana: She’s got an unusual aura. It’s like we’re looking at a ghost…

Chelsea: You wanna check it out? That glow doesn’t really give me the creeps.

Ayana: If Chelsea says so, maybe it’s a friendly ghost. Let’s have a look!

-

Ayana: Amazing… this place is flooded with light!

Chelsea: Look! There she is!

???: You’re not supposed to be in this place. You must leave now. It is much too soon for you to be here.

Ayana: Huh…?

???: There’s no time… the Dark Ones will be here soon. Hurry! Meet Fores the Great Spiritwood and find the boundary.

Shannen: Dark Ones…? Fores…?

???: Do not fear the end that is coming. For you, tomorrow awaits.

(??? disappears.)

Ayana: Ah, hold on a sec! Who are you!?

Jodie: Those are some fast feet…

???: Hoho… You’re an odd bunch, eh?

Chelsea: N… now what?

Tiffana: Yikes!!

Fores: Hm… You may have touched the boundary, but it is of no concern.

Jodie: Of no concern… for a tree, maybe.

Fores: ……….

Shannen: Jodie… are you trying to make it mad?

Fores: In any case, you all still have bright futures ahead of you. There are yet many things that you can, and should, accomplish. You cannot remain here.

Ayana: We’ve got to return home, is what you mean, right?

Fores: Of course. You have yet to face many trials and hardships. You must return to reality, with all its uncertainty and obscurity.

Chelsea: ...Huh. Figures, I guess.

Fores: The boundary lies at the end of this road. To return home, all you need to do is touch it.

Shannen: Wait… What is this world, anyway?

Fores: I will be more than happy to tell you… someday. For now, you must go.

Tiffana: A woman we met said something about “Dark Ones.” Who are they?

Fores: Not even I have the power to keep those vile things in check. You see, they are--

Fores: Hmph. Speak of the devil.

Ayana: Everyone, look!

(Many Dark Legion have appeared.)

Fores: Take care. If they turn you into stone, you will never be able to return.

Ayana: Wait, what…!?

Fores: Do not fear… I can see that you have been blessed by the Guardians. Why they have given you this power, I cannot say, but you would be remiss to forsake it.

Chelsea: These crazy abilities come from the Guardians, huh?

Fores: Magic is simply a means to an end, but I suspect that girls gone astray can use all the help they can get.

Chelsea: Well, when you put it that way…

Fores: Now be off, my fair ladies. Until next we meet…

Jodie: What in the world are we supposed to do now?

Ayana: First, we need to find the place that they call “the boundary.”

Shannen: Even if we have no idea what it looks like…?

Ayana: It’s better to try and look for it than to just sit here and mope, Shannen.

Tiffana: Why don’t we find out what the Dark Ones are up to?

Ayana: Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. Let’s go!

(Unlock Jodie’s quest.)

-

Ayana: Someone’s fighting!

Soldier: Ooof!

???: Behold, the power granted to me by Her Majesty the Queen! Try not to die too quickly on me, fools!

Soldier: Arrrghhh!!!

(The three soldiers turn to stone.)

???: Hahahahaha! This rose is such a fantastic gift! I, Jamulus, vow to use the power vested in me by Her Majesty the Queen to destroy all those who dare stand in her way!

(Jamulus disappears.)

Ayana: He turned them into stone!

Shannen: Just like Fores said, huh…

Chelsea: Look! That light!

Ayana: That… that light reminds me of…

Tiffana: I think I’ve seen that light at the shrine…

Jodie: That must be the boundary!

Shannen: The exit is over there… behind a whole host of Dark Ones.

Ayana: ...Everyone, let’s go.

Chelsea: Are you serious?

Ayana: We fight together, so that each of us can return home.

Shannen: But… if they catch us, who knows what they’ll do…?

Tiffana: We don’t even know for sure that the light is the boundary. Isn’t it a little dangerous just diving in headfirst?

Ayana: …Yesterday, I woke up for what I expected to be the last time.

Jodie: What…?

Ayana: I just… felt like I had reached the end. That the bullies had finally gotten to me, y’know? Maybe I really was as worthless as they had said. At least I’d looked presentable when I met the big guy in the sky, though.

Chelsea: ...You too, huh?

Ayana: Chelsea…? You don’t mean…

Tiffana: Make that three.

Jodie: Could that really be what brought us all here? Wanting to just end it all?

Shannen: Maybe this is Heaven after all…

Ayana: No, it can’t be. We were told to go back, remember? That we have destinies to fulfill, lives to lead!

Chelsea: ...Hahaha. I wonder if the gods wanted to give us a little taste of the afterlife.

Tiffana: What? That’s ridiculous.

Ayana: Well, I did get a taste of friendship. And it just left me wanting more!

Chelsea: Ayana… we’ve got plenty left to give.

Ayana: Thanks, Chelsea…

Jodie: Let’s all get together again once we’re out of this depressing dump. After we find each other in our world, we can hang out and have all sorts of fun!

Ayana: Right! We have so much to look forward to!

Shannen: Are we really going to face the Dark Ones…?

Ayana: Yes… I want to return to reality. I want to live! Let’s go, together!

-

Ayana: We’re here!

Chelsea: B-but how is this supposed to work? What should we do!?

Shannen: Do we just try to jump in?

Jamulus: And who do we have here…?

(Jamulus appears.)

Jamulus: No villager of Ur would wear such flamboyant attire, that’s for certain.

Tiffana: Let’s just make a break for it…

Jamulus: Such youth and beauty… very well! Who among you shall be my wife? You would the the envy of every lady in the land. Come, and bask in the warmth of my loving embrace.

Ayana: Wife!? Embrace…!? What are you going on about?!

Jamulus: Playing hard to get, eh? Of course… half of the fun in taking a wife is domesticating her first! So be it… Shower me with your tears! Deafen me with your screams!

Tiffana: This guy is unbelievably creepy…

Jamulus: Naughty girls need discipline! Let me teach you lessons that your parents never could!

(Battle A against Jamulus.)

Jamulus: What…? What is this power…!?

Ayana: Huff, puff…

Jamulus: The Guardians wish to protect them that badly…? Surely these nuisances will only grow to hinder Her Majesty’s perfect plans. Best to smother them in the crib!

Ayana: Run!

Ayana: Huh…? Why aren’t you running?

Chelsea: You thought of making us all go home while you stayed here by yourself, didn’t you?

Tiffana: That’s unfair. We all promised to go home together.

Jodie: That old tree even said it himself: the Guardians will keep us safe!

Shannen: Still, we can’t fight without a plan. Judging by what we’ve seen so far, it’s clear that his rose has the power to turn people to stone. If we can somehow overcome that…

Jamulus: I knew I caught you eyeing my beautiful bud! This rose is dearer to me than life itself.

Ayana: Geez, he’s really attached to that thing… but it doesn’t matter! If we’ve gotta beat him to get home, then we’ll do it!

Jamulus: “Get home…?” Hmph, so you’re strays from afar, then… no matter. Your fates are set in stone!

Ayana: Not if we can help it!

(Battle B against Jamulus.)

The five of them barely dodged the dogged attacks of Jamulus the dark fencer, and somehow managed to touch the shimmering boundary.

No sooner had they touched it than each girl lost consciousness.

When Ayana woke up, a radiant world lay before her eyes.

It was a familiar place: all around her emanated the nostalgic scents of home.

“Huh… did I fall asleep…?

Ayana had fallen asleep after sitting down in a chair in the corner of the room. In her hand was a magical device that resembled a cell phone with a message from a stranger. When she opened the message, all she found was garbled text… Then, she saw the attachment.

“A snowy mountain? Where was this taken? Wait… that’s me! But who are these four other girls…?”

Thus, the mysteriou journey of the five girls came to an end…

But their real journeys are just about to begin. Sooner or later, they will make good on the fateful promise that they made to one another.

Just when they will get that chance, however, none can say.
