After the fox completely lighted and disappeared, a path to the fifth layer appeared.

"Thank you Frederica. I'll help you if there's anything in Frederica, so I'll try again.

"... oh, yeah, yeah"

Frederica, who had not yet returned from enlightenment, responded weakly, and Maple disappeared when heard of it.

"Maple, where? No, over there?"

Frederica thought one, and the next player, who had been standing up to now, talked.

"Where is it? Even with that skill ..."

Gradually, his head explores one possibility and jumps in the middle of the story.

"Yeah, maybe four layers of Shiraoni?"

"Is there a way to weaken it ...?"

"I don't know. Maple ..."

Frederica thought that he might have beaten him without any weakness.

You can trust it without any solid evidence.

I was convinced that I thought Maple was strong.

"Five layers!"

Maple took the first step to the fifth floor, a little behind the maple trees.

The fluffy ground with a little elasticity is white without any dirt.

There is a country of all clouds. It was a heavenly paradise.

"Is it more fluffy than the bed at home?"

Maple headed to the guild home, healed by the touch transmitted from his feet.

"This is this town"

Beyond the wall of clouds, a dazzling white town was spreading.

There were clear walls and roads that could not exist in reality.

"Well, but this is not a cloud."

When Maple touches the wall of the house, it feels slippery.

Unlike the clouds underneath, the texture reminded me of polished stone.

"Speaking of which, I stand on a cloud, and there are various materials to look for in this layer."

Maple walked, believing that the items in this layer might not always be made of clouds, and reached the guild home, checking the map.

Maple opens the white door and enters inside.

"No one ... no. Yeah, so I'm going to log out today. Oh, I'm tired!"

Maple rolls out the blue panel and taps out to log out.

Kaede returns to reality and stretches a lot on the bed.

"It may have been the most fought day I've ever had, but I was able to go to the fifth tier ... and try to relax for a while."

And that day he fell asleep deeper than usual.

A few days later.

Maple was talking to Sally at the guild home.

"Oh ... did you go there?"

"That's right. I'm the most tired so far ..."

"Well, I thought I wasn't meshing."

"It might have been the case if I thought now."

Maple then began talking about how he came to the fifth floor after defeating the demon.

On the way, Maple noticed that he was showing Frederica [Hyakki Yoko].

"I was tired and didn't think about anything."

Tell the bitter smile Maple that Sally doesn't mind.

"Well, isn't that good? You might not be surprised if it is that much."

Frederica and others were supposed to enter players who couldn't be surprised to come out, but they weren't at that level.

Sally was already approaching the territory, and was evaluated for it, but only at the closest Sally.

"Okay, then the story changes but Sally has already explored the five layers?"

Sally replied to Maple's question after a short while remembering something.

"It's not all, but to some extent. It's a field with a lot of three-dimensional structures and lots of stairs going up and down. And ..."

"later?"

"I feel like the ground is so different that I'm likely to fall when I run."

"Is that so? Should I be careful?"

"It's a matter of life and death for me."

Rather than a violent attack or many-to-one combat, insecure feet are a problem for Sally.

If you don't tweak, all evasion will go crazy.

"Does Maple explore after this?"

"I'm fine. I feel like I've fought for a week, so I'll search again.

"I don't know ... enjoy it at your own pace, because it lasts longer and I want to play more with Maple."

The unchanging, unyielding feeling from the beginning was definitely one of Sally's driving forces.

"Yeah, I'm having fun playing."

"Well, it's good. Well, I'm going to explore. I'll find somewhere in Maple that I like."

Sally smiles at Maple as she stands up from her seat.

"Oh! I'm happy!"

"I'm looking forward to the maple, so you can look forward to it?"

"Do it!"

"I'll come."

"Please come"

After a greeting, Sally exited the guild home and closed the entrance door tightly.

"I see. You won ..."

Leaning at the closed door and looking up at the sky.

The clear blue sky appeared in Sally's eyes.

Sally closed her eyes and once took a deep breath, walked away from the door.

"I don't want to lose, yeah."

Sally started running to make up the distance.

"Invite me, I hate you ... I'm sorry"

Sally muttered alone, not to anyone.
