Time passed a little after Christmas, one day when Maple was able to open the present box that she had obtained.

Maple and Sally happened to appear in the guild home at the same time.

"Oh, it's been a while since Sally ..."

"Yeah, it's just after winter vacation, and it's been a while since I've been a long time away, will we go somewhere after this?"

"Hmm ... I wonder if I'm going. Present for the moment? Yeah, I came to open it."

Maple took the red box out of her inventory.

"I got the maple, too.

Sally said and took out the yellow box. It is also packaged separately from the maple, but was also dropped as a present box.

Sally glanced deeply at the present with both hands holding the present box.

"No, it was hard, because I don't remember how many I lost ..."

As Maple said so, I couldn't say I was in one shot to Sally, who started stroking the box.

Maple decided to change the story before being heard in the flow.

"Yeah, let's open it now! Now what will come out?"

After unwinding the ribbon and opening the lids together, they found one scroll each.

This item can acquire skills.

"Skills ... by the way, what's inside?"

They first checked the skill information from their scrolls.

icicle

Creates one indestructible ice pillar with MP3 expenditure. Up to 5

Disappears after one minute

[Frozen earth]

Immobilize a player or monster in contact with the ground within a radius of 5 meters around you for 3 seconds from activation

Reusable after 3 minutes

The former is a scroll skill acquired by Sally.

The latter is the maple skill.

"Sally, it was such a skill."

"I have this. It looks like there are several types ... I haven't used [Omi] recently, and I'd rather use this one?

Sally mutters and begins to think about the future.

It was a skill that would be expected to improve defense ability at least if used well.

"The monsters that seem to be strong should just be frozen!

"That's right. That's fine."

"Ok, okay! So this year is over."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Sally asks Maple to log out.

"I have to finish the task little by little, I'm busy right after January ... I guess I'm not doing it for a while.

"I've done it already, will I play?"

Maple logged out, worried about the difference between when he was motivated and when he was not.

The surviving Sally was once again thinking of her future plans.

"A new layer is likely to come again soon and will it be quiet ... I can't do it yet because the guy behind the last torii gate hasn't found any weakness ... Would we try re-searching around the machine town?"

Sally, who wants to catch up while there is no maple, unusually decided to explore without having a specific vision.

"Sometimes this kind of thing is good, just follow Maple."

Sally headed for the three layers, hoping to see the five layers coming soon.

The result was no harvest of skills and no events.

The only thing that Sally has done is to check the comfort of [icicle].

However, only this time, Sally was completely obsessed with the convenience of [Icicles].

Originally, dangerous range attacks were prevented by a disposable magic wall that would break quickly.

I'm not so happy if it lasts for a minute.

If it was not sheer, she would not be able to see her when she hid her, so I thought she was better, but it was enough.

By the way, Maple and Sally's winter holidays are over and the middle of January has passed.

The fifth layer, which Sally also longed for, has been implemented.

On the day of the implementation, Sally who came to the guild home early waited, and a few guild members with the same idea came together.

"Oh, everyone is ready!"

Sally, who didn't expect everyone to come together, shouted with surprise and joy.

"Hmm? No maple?"

"Oh ... maple ..."

Sally says that was the case with Chrome.

"I got the flu ... this year too. As usual."

"Oh, yes.

Summarizing the opinions that came out of the chrome proposal, the conclusion that came out is that if you have maple, you can beat it with just a few members who are convenient, so here is the member who is now and going forward It is.

Nobody opposed this.

At worst, a maple could defeat any boss.

[Maple Tree] without maple headed into the dungeon that continued to five layers.
