• Fixed the issue where the [CH No-Hit] could unlock even when passing the stage without defeating the boss but taking damage.
  
• Fixed the issue where setting the right-click button as the spell card release key prevented closing the key configuration interface.
  
• Fixed the issue where the interaction prompt UI at the bottom of the screen in the Bunny Train occasionally didn't display while moving.
  
• Fixed the issue where, in battle stages, the prompt text for directly starting the battle didn't show.
  
• Fixed the issue where, in battle stages, there was a chance of entering the post-battle scenario when the countdown timer of the final phase restarted upon reaching zero.
  
• Fixed a few text errors in the English version.
  

Adjustments:

• Reduced the required count of Defeat for unlocking the [Assist mode].
  
• Reduced the required count of Defeat for upgrading the [Assist mode]. In other words, the [Assist mode] will be easier to unlock and upgrade.
