Official Poll

On April 10, 2024, the Japanese Twitter account for the Shiren series announced the second official Parallel Play distribution. The dungeon was decided by users through a poll.

The possible choices:

• Training Path of Inference
• Training Path of Shopping
• Kiki Island
• Heart of Serpentcoil Island

【公式パラレルプレイ第2弾配信予告】 第2弾は前回より難易度の高いダンジョンを検討中です。攻略対象は、こちらのアンケートで一番人気のものにします！ さらに、クリア報告をいただいた上位50名様は、お名前を公式サイトに刻ませていただきます。（詳細は近日発表！）

推測の修験道 （低難度設定）		8.5%
買い物上手の修験道 （中難度設定）		10.2%
鬼木島 （高難度設定）		14.9%
とぐろ島の真髄 （超高難度設定）		66.4%

Distribution Issues

After the distribution had begun for the Japanese version, the Twitter post was deleted to solve some unspecified technical issue. The same Parallel ID was reposted shortly after.

Trivia

• Users of this Parallel Data are marked as "Player 3", while Creator and Player 2 are both "SpChun". This suggests Spike Chunsoft had to save Parallel Data twice to make the distributed Parallel Data.
