As Maple sat for a while, staring at the spirit, Sally gradually settled down.

"Maple ... are you still there?"

Sally asks Maple without raising her face.

"Yeah, I'm still there"

"Uh ... I wonder if I'll go somewhere soon ..."

Sally's voice was back to normal, though with some trembling.

"How calm?"

"I'm calm. Don't look at my face because I'm so embarrassed ..."

Sally saw Maple with his crying face.

Maple could have imagined that Sally's ears, which were not hidden, were bright red, and her face was as good or better.

"I see. But ... did you want that skill?"

"I'm sorry that I should have stopped it ... really.

Sally said her skill was dazzling.

"It's unusual, Sally is wrong."

"It's a lot of things that I want, but it's okay, but it's a skill I can manage without having to calm down and cool my head."

"After all, what kind of skills did Sally want?

With Maple saying that, Sally starts talking about what she wanted to know about the skills and items she wanted, what happened here and there.

Maple heard that, and found that there were few things that could be useful to him.

Since things that are not needed do not need to be retrieved, the efficiency of future searches can be increased.

However, Maple enjoyed exploring itself, so he couldn't go without it.

If you find it interesting, you may go out.

While talking, Maple thought that the spirit would go somewhere, but the spirit would not move stubbornly.

"Is n’t it bad if you get away from the throne ... can you attack?

When Maple reaches out and uses items, the wind cuts through the spirit body.

Then the spirit staggered a little and retreated.

However, Maple found that there was no HP gauge and there was no concept of damage and it would not be possible to beat.

The spirit, moaning and covering his face with his hands, soon comes closer to them and touches them again.

"Escape while scared ... Sally, can you? I'll probably catch up"

Maple suggested that Sally alone could escape.

"Um ... it doesn't seem to work"

There was no doubt that it was not just because [AGI] was zero.

"What should I do? Huh?"

The spirit, who hasn't tried to stay away from the maples, suddenly leaves the room and leaves the room.

Maple had no choice but to watch it suddenly.

"It's a chance! Let's go Sally!"

"Well, what?"

Pull Sally's hand with her face down and she can't swallow the situation.

The two run for the first time at the same speed.

From behind you can hear the voice of someone who has become a prey of spirits instead.

Sally reddened her face aloud at the voice of someone who was coming in and was screaming at him.

"Well, it is!"

Maple returned the shortest path he had remembered and finally returned to a place where he could log out.

"Thank you maple"

"Hey ... welcome!"

The two are happy to be back.

From behind, a cold arm stretches out and hugs them together.

"Hit ...!"

"Hmm!"

When they were surprised and solidified for a moment, they were notified of the skill acquisition.

"Um ... [the edge of the underworld]? Oh, that is the skill that Sally said that the item effect doubled."

Maple checks the skill.

Sally, who sat down there, seemed to have the same skills.

One of the flavors mentioned in the skill was a strange connection with someone who would occasionally gently lend a hand from behind.

"Uh ... I don't need that."

"What Sally do you want? The next search is still with me."

"Logout. Return."

Sally answers with a prompt decision.

"Well, bye-bye?"

Maple waving small.

"Thank you today, I will make up for it."

"Okay, I've had a lot of help so far!

When Maple said that and laughed, Sally also turned a little lighter.

"Thank you, even when the seventh layer comes out."

"I said so and came back again."

"I will not do it ...

At the end of the conversation, Sally logs out and returns.

Some say that if you are too throat, you forget the heat.

When to go past the throat is another story, but often the mistakes are repetitive.

Returning to the real world, Risa gets up from bed and finishes the game and cleans up.

"Hmm ... sweat, bath ... well, still good! Even after eating rice"

Risa says so and opens the door more gently than usual and descends to the first floor.

When I went to the living room as it was, there was a mother who was just preparing dinner.

"Risa? Still dinner?"

"Yeah, I just came to watch TV."

Risa turned on the television and sat on the sofa.

However, it seems like they are just watching the TV so that they are not very interested in television.

When Risa was waiting for dinner in the living room, her phone ringed.

Risa turns around and looks at the one with the sound.

"Oh ... yes, it's Shiramine. Yes."

“…………”

Her mother had been talking to someone for a while, but eventually she hung up and talked to Risa.

"Risa? My mom needs a little urgent work and I have to go. Dad seems to be late today.

"Eh ... uh, yeah ..."

Risa responded gruelly, and her mother rushed out of the room to get ready.

"Being able to return as soon as possible"

"……Do you get it"

Just saying so, her mother went out.

The outside is already dark, and the quiet house has only TV sound.

"Let's eat rice"

After seeing her mother off, Risa returned from the entrance and started eating.

"..."

Risa picks up the TV remote and raises the volume.

While sitting in a chair, his legs are shaking steadily and his eyes are slightly narrowed.

The advance of the chopsticks was also slow.

"Thank you for the meal"

Risa cleans up the dishes and changes the TV channel appropriately.

The weather forecast said it was going to rain tonight.

I was spending some time there, but no one came back.

"I have to take a bath ... but ..."

Beating faster than usual, feeling restless.

I knew the cause.

"A little ... scary ..."

In words, it feels more like that.

When she closes the curtains and doors without any gaps, she embraces the cushion on the sofa and shrinks her body.

"……That's it!"

Something came back to her face, as if she had come up with something.

In other words, Kaede who was logged out like Risa was studying in her room.

Then the ringtone sounds.

"Maybe ..."

Kaede picked up his mobile phone and saw Risa's text on it.

"Hello?"

"Ah, maple? Are you all right now?"

"Hmm ... okay, what?"

"No, I thought it was annoying today. Why don't you talk a bit?"

Kaede was aware of the real reason Risa called, but continues to talk to Risa without touching it.

"Hmm?"

While talking, Kaede noticed that he could hear some water besides Risa's voice.

"I'm afraid of a bath or a toilet ..."

Kaede inadvertently slips her mouth and says what she thought.

Risa could pretend not to be heard, but she fell silent.

"Risa, Risa?"

And after a little silence, Risa's voice is heard again.

"... Kaede, no one is at home right now."

"Yup"

"Hey ... Isn't he thin ..."

"Yup"

"She's honest ... I'm scared ... can I keep calling?"

There is no doubt that Kaede is useless, and the conversation can continue as it is.

Speaking that way, Kaede remembered that this had happened once before.

"It was like this before,"

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, I didn't come out of the bath that way now, but the next day I was short of sleep."

"Oh, when you were in elementary school? Wow ... I may not be growing up."

If you talk like this, the fear will be a little less.

By the time he got out of the bath and talked, he got into bed and Risa's mood was already quite bright.

"Good night Risa"

"Yeah, thank you.

Risa went to bed several hours earlier than usual.

Turn off the light, dive into the futon to the head and close your eyes.

I could hear the sound of rain starting to fall from outside.

Getting to bed earlier than usual doesn't mean you can sleep faster.

Thirty minutes, one hour and time have passed.

As time passed, the sense of fading also returned.

"Hmm ... mmmm ..."

Risa restlessly moves in bed and calls after a while if she decides.

Because the other party is decided.

Risa wakes up and turns on the light, waking up Kaede and talking again.

"Ah ... there was something like this before."

"True ... sorry Kaede ..."

And it goes without saying that Kaede was short of sleeping the next day.
