Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout The Animation

Ryza is a farm girl tired of her ordinary life; she drags her friends Lent and Tao on an adventure.

Empel gives Ryza her first assignment to collect the necessary ingredients for creating Blessing Ointment; meanwhile, Lila tasks Lent with creating a map of the village while Tao continues learning how to read.

After assisting an elderly villager with her alchemically-made medicine, Ryza becomes determined to find an unusual flower from her youth. Lila accompanies the group on another excursion away from the island to find the mysterious flower.

Empel sends Ryza, Lent, and Tao into the Sunken Mine as a test of their abilities. Tao begrudgingly agrees to go, Lent is determined to prove himself, and Ryza synthesizes something special in preparation for their adventure.

After returning from the Sunken Mine, Lent, Ryza, and Tao all begin taking their training incredibly seriously. Klaudia becomes worried about her friends, and Empel and Lila devise a new training regimen to remedy the situation.

Ryza, Tao, Lent, and Klaudia all work together to build a hideout for their group. To help get the necessary resources, Klaudia helps develop a new recipe to trade to one of the villagers. Something lurking in the woods may threaten their new hideout.
