Chapter 60
Defense specialization and quest 2
「Now that we can see the forest, There’s the Entrance, go infrom there」
「This, Can’t we just go flying?」
Maple get off in front of the forestand called back syrup into the ring.「Saa, Let’s Hurry up!」「Un(yes)! This way is good right?」There was a small path in front ofthem.Because the woman points at that path, there should be nomistake.Maple goes deeper and deeper.Because the woman is always at the rangeof【Cover】, protecting her will be easy.Originally there should be battlesbefore they can reach the forest, but because Maple has her own special way,she was able to avoid that.Of course, that way is Syrup.「【Paralyze Shout】!」Because Maple’s attack doesn’t affectthe woman, even if Maple is surrounded, she just needs to use this skillcalmly.「For now its okay not to beat them right?」But Maple is different from otherplayers, she is slow.And it increases the chance of beingattacked.Guided by the woman, when theyarrive at the middle of the forest, her skill “Bizarre Eater (akujiki)”already run out of use.「Let’s change to crystal shield」Changing equipment with a shieldthat emits purple color, Maple followed the woman.「That’s! That’s the 【Tree of Life】!」The tree that the woman came over towas only half as large as the surrounding trees「Nanka(It Looks), different from what I thought」What Maple imagined was a huge treethat emits holy light 「ThisLeaf work well for illness」 Woman takes several leavesfrom branches and shows it to Maple.「hee…. Is that so. Is it okay if I take some too?」Maple tried to take some but wasblocked by an invisible wall. She can’t go near the tree.It looks like players can onlycollect it as a limited event item.「It’s okay now」「Jaa(Then), Let’s go back」Maple summons Syrup and make him fly.After that she uses “Kyodai-ka/Enlarge” because there is not enough space down there.「Syrup Please!」Syrup’s altitude is higher than theusual.Maple thinks of what to do for amoment but she came up with a good idea.It’s not climbing the tree.
Of course, it’s not a jump too.
「【Crystal wall】!」From Maple Feet Purple Crystalextend and bounce maple up.
Of course it’s not how this skill is originally used
「Syrup!」Bounced up Maple was bit by Syrupfrom head till around her shoulder.If other people see this, it willbecome a shocking spectacle for sure.Doesn’t matter how you see it,Flying Turtle that eats people can only can be seen in paintings.And like that Maple was thrown away intoSyrup’s back and got in place.「A…. What should I do with her…?」When Maple wants to check the woman NPCunder her, she just jumped from up the tree and fly to Syrup’s foot.「EEEEE!?」「Let’s go. My daughter’s already waiting」「Ye-yes」Maple Fly up to the sky.That time Maple muttered what comesinside her mind「This person can absolutely go alone….」It can’t be helped if you think withthat woman’s power, she can go to the forest normallyAnd After that when they flew outfrom the forest.「Haa…. Haa…. Thank you for protecting me. If it’s likebefore, I must be already done for…」「Ee!? W-What are you talking about so suddenly?」Maple didn’t do anything special.She just fly in the sky.Nope, just flying in the sky is alreadycounted as abnormal.Originally, stronger monsters willbe their opponents. Large Shield Equipment with lack of Attack power will beeasily defeated.The woman words, can be heard afterovercoming that.Because Maple just goes through itwithout encountering any, it became a weird.「Kishi-sama(knight) you sure are gentle」「Ee…to….Somehow, I’m sorry」Maple somehow feels sorry but shedoesn’t say anything.Because Maple can’t bear theatmosphere, she hurry up to go back to the town「Yoshi! Arrive!」Maple Get down from Syrup in frontof the town, and unsummon syrup back to the ring.Next aim is this woman’s house.「Thank you very much! I will go first」The woman hurried up and run towardsher home.Maple speed can’t follow her.「….Let’s go slowly」Since the event will not continuetill Maple arrives in there, it’s not like everything will be done before that.This is how the setting is set up.After walking for a while, Maplearrives at the woman house.When Maple opened the door, thewoman was just about to let the girl drink something.A Dark Deep Green Liquid is in acontainer.For Maple, just from seeing it, itlooks bitter and makes her doesn’t want to drink it. The girl who drank it alsomakes a stiffed face.「….Dou?(how?)」「Kehoo,kehoo…..Un… I feel much better….. gohoo,Gohoo」(cough voice)「What a terrible cough…! aaa! What should I do!」The woman Mourn/grief/sorrow (EDN: can’tfind good one)That time, in front of maple a blue windowappear.Quest【Benevolence knight (Hakuai no Kishi) 2】A new quest skill occurred.Of course Maple accepts it.「Kishi-sama(knight), do you still want to help me?」「e,un…as expected I can’t leave it alone.」Even now the girl is still coughingnon-stop, it looks her condition is getting worse.「Then … please take me to the 【fountain of demons】the Place is northwest after you go out from the town!」「un, Understood」After saying that the woman go out firstto the town.「N?…I acquired a skill」【Benevolence knight (Hakuai no Kishi)】Even though the name is already ather skill column, it doesn’t have any effect. What in there is just the name ofthe skill.「Nn? There’s no effect?…. is it because the event is notdone yet?」
If it’s like that, then Maple right now can’t just drop the quest.
Maple goes out to the town.「It’s to the Northwest!」「Ookee. Northwest dane (right)」It’s already become natural forMaple to use Syrup and fly and head toward northwest.Surrounding players too are notsurprised, as the number of people who saw it and the people who hear therumors about Maple already increased.Oh, it’s just Maple like always.It became that kind of way of thinkingWhen you always come across withunnatural things, it will become a natural one.Maybe the day where all players willthink something like, “aa today, Maple is flying in the sky huu”, is not that faraway.「It will not end with the 2nd right…. there must be a third…」Maple mutteredBecause it felt like it will be a half-heartedquest if it ends at number 2. And the content of the quest doesn’t change atall. It doesn’t seem it will end with this one.「Aa!?【Bizarre Eater (Akujiki)】still not recovered!」Maple noticed something while at Syrup’sback.It will probably become dangerous ifshe needs to fight.「uun…. If it doesn’t look good, we can just go and retreat.」It will be meaningless if the womandies.For now Maple will just go toward theirdestination and after that she will check from sky the situation around thefountain before going down.
