The next day, they prepared as declared and finally set foot on the eighth floor.

"What is it like?"

"Is it fun to go there?"

Together they take a step and transfer from the magic circle on the seventh floor to the eighth floor.

As the light covering my eyes faded, it spread into a deep forest.

There is no clear road at that location, reminiscent of the jungle area at the event, and a similar forest extends just before and after.

"Um ... which one should I go to?"

"The direction you were facing when you moved ...?"

Although neither of them are confident, if they stop at that point, it will be worthwhile to walk to the front.

that moment.

"What?"

"Sally !?"

Sally has an effect when [Utsusemi] is activated. It is a testimony that Sally was attacked by someone to make HP zero.

When Sally flips over, she pulls out two daggers and stares at the trees and bushes with sharp eyes.

"I see [the devotion]!"

A little later, Maple develops a field to protect Sally.

For a while they were back-to-back and watched around, but they did not fly.

Sally takes a dagger and pauses.

"Huh ... Thank you maple"

"No, is it OK?"

"Somehow ... ah, I didn't feel any sign at all."

"Is it a trap?"

"I don't know anything, but I can't avoid that attack ..."

"Yeah, leave it! I'll protect it!"

There is no problem if Sally is attacked again as long as [Dedicated Charity] is activated.

Although we avoid it as a matter of course, we do not feel it, but Sally will die if he is hit twice in a row with any attack.

"I don't want to be killed and want to find the culprit."

"I'll be careful!"

Maple deploys his weapons and prepares to attack at any time.

In the meantime, monkey monsters threw exploding nuts, and the roots came out of the ground, but they were powerless to maple opponents.

"I can easily search without monsters."

"Yeah, and anything that hit me won't be able to figure out ..."

Sally remains alert because she is more vigilant than usual. The monsters were only attacking from a distance and could not go back.

"Every monster will run away immediately"

"That's right ... I don't get any experience. I'm so frustrated that I can't cut it."

Because they don't know the boss, there's no reason to attack in vain, so they ignore the enemy's attack and look for a boss-like room.

Then, before them, an old monument eroded by vegetation came into view.

"Oh, Sally! There is something."

`` There is no magic circle, it seems that the boss room is not a translation, but let's go see it for the time being ''

As they approached the stele, they found that there were letters on it.

"Does the road appear before those who defeat the master of the cunning forest?"

"Is it the boss?"

"I guess."

"Then you have to defeat it?"

While talking, Maple suddenly squeezes forward and smashes his face with a stele.

Someone was attacking from behind.

Sally looked at the direction, and a giant chameleon was stuck on the tree, and the stretched tongue turned back to clear and disappeared.

"Aikatsu ...!"

"Wow, what? What was there?"

"Yeah, maybe the first chameleon that attacked me. And this is what I would expect. I think it's already in the boss room. Is it like a boss moving around the field?"

"I guess you have to chase."

"Probably. But it's transparent and it looks pretty tough ... earlier it looked like a face from an event."

Maple's long range attack is half as effective with so many trees. A chameleon attack with no sally or sign is inevitable, so you can't use your speed to scout as usual.

"Now, how about chasing you?"

"I have to try a lot!"

At that moment, the maple's eyelids are closed and slipped as if leaning against the stele.

"... Maple? ... Oh, [sleep]!"

A powerful condition that will be released if you take damage, but you will be unable to move for 20 seconds.

The previously invisible attack would have had its effect.

Then, as if waiting for it, exploding nuts fall from the head in large quantities and explode.

“Cunning ...

However, this type of maple does not take damage, so sleep is not released.

"I have to wait for a while"

Sally looked at the sleeping maple happily and thinking about how to catch the chameleon.
