However, as they enter the trial dungeon, each of the girls takes turns eliminating him on different floors, but fails as always, with them interfering with each other's attempts.After reaching a room in the dungeon, there were three doors, one representing treasure, another one glory, and the third one pleasure. Anemone chose the door to treasure, while Ciel chose the door to glory, and Goa chose the door to pleasure, leaving Toto to choose one of the options from the three. Instead of deciding on one, Toto decided to punch the floor, and they all came crashing down to the lower level.After reaching the lowest floor, an old guy named Bele appeared, who challenged them to land a single blow on him to finish the quest. While Bele and Toto were fighting, the girls buffed Bele so that he could take out Toto for them. However, Toto defeated Bele with a single punch, despite the buff. This marked the finish of the quest, and Toto's party became D-Rank adventurers.What to expect from The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses episode 5?
