After the month and day, the time has finally come for the ninth event to begin. Maple and Sally go to Alliance Home with their Alliance members to review the event.

"There is no interpersonal element this time. All players will work together to see how many exclusive monsters they can defeat during the event."

"I see. If we all work together, we'll have to work hard for everyone!

"Fufu, if you work hard at my pace, you'll be fine. There are people fighting with such momentum....."

In the third event long ago, there were a number of alliances that lost their heads in monster crusades. It can be expected that this time it will be in a similar format.

"Well, that's fine. Every time you reach a certain number of crusades, you'll get rewards, and if you get to the end, you'll get items that will help you in eight tiers. Other medals, money..."

"Oops! Then let's try harder!

"That's right. It's a long time, and it looks like there are limited monsters in every layer, so you can hunt wherever you want."

You've got a target number of crusades. In the meantime, let's see how much I crusade every day. "

"I see. It's something that you can easily accomplish."

"The goal hasn't been set that far for Sylvia either. Let's think about the materials that monsters drop."

Chrome, Iz, and Cashmere plan to take the event forward with the material dropped by the monster as they defeat it moderately while watching the other players.

"Yui, what about us?"

"Hmm... if you defeat any place, you'll be one, so why not choose a place that's easy to fight?

"That's right. I don't want to level up....."

Yui and Mai are HP that can be knocked down in a single blow, so we decided to relax and enjoy this event without competing in particular.

"I'll play slowly, too. Ah, if I have time, I'll check it out with the other players. Looks like he was worried about interpersonal combat."

…… Thank you, thank you. "

"No, no, but don't expect too much."

Kanade laughs at Sally for saying so. This event didn't have to be so tight, so I decided to set goals and play with each one.

"If you find anything interesting, report it. There are some kinds of monsters."

"I see. If there are only a few monsters that can drop good materials, it would be helpful if you could defeat them first."

I don't know where the exclusive monster will appear after the event. I want to collect what I can collect.

"Then let me know if anything happens!

When Maple told her that she was going to share the information quickly, she decided to check each layer to see if there were any differences in the types of monsters.

Since the event itself was simple, Maple and Sally went to the field after reviewing the content. Maples is one of the players with the strongest monsters going to the Seven Tiers, so the other Tiers will leave it to the other players to start the Enemy in the Seven Tiers.

As usual, I had Sally prepare a horse, and as Maple was running through the field in the back, I quickly realized that there were monsters I had never seen before.

"There's something like a fish I summon."

"Is that okay?

Yeah, that's my exclusive monster.

A new flock of fish swimming in the air in the usual field. Defeating this will earn you a crusade.

"It seems that there are several types of monsters, and strong monsters may drop unusual materials."

"Then we have to keep knocking them down!

"That said, let's go to a place with few people, because the goal is to earn the number of crusades together."

"That means it's more efficient!

"Well, it looks like it's going anywhere."

The number of clashes requested is quite large, and even though it has been taken for a long time, there are no other tricks than to build up the number of clashes. There will always be competition with other players near the crowded city, so they will leave and aim for the edge of the map.

Then, after a while, they came to the rough, rocky wasteland. Moderately promising, with no special monsters or gimmicks, this is a good place to earn crusades. As Sally stepped out of the horse, she helped Maple wait for the horse nearby.

"Alright, let's find it!

"Explore the neighborhood and feel like you're moving if you don't have a lot."

"Okay!

When they explored the area a little, they found the monster they were looking for. It's a swarm of tropical fish swimming in the sky with blue light, very similar to what Sally can summon with her skills. Of course, there are no monsters like this in the wasteland, so it is obvious that it is limited to events.

"Well, let's see what it looks like!

"Yeah! I'll do my best!

Sally rushes as she creates a doppelganger and Maple deploys her weapon behind her. If you don't take your hands off me, I'll knock you down with all my strength, just like I did against my boss. Though the motif is a fish monster, straw and everywhere tropical fish can only produce a little water and attack.

It was more obvious than looking at the fire what would happen if such a presence were in front of both of them. Sally easily wiped out all the water that was fired, Maple lasered out the water, and in an instant the fish literally wiped out the charcoal.

"... just beating numbers is weaker than I thought."

"That's right. It was light!

The ability of both players is also high among front-line players, and monsters made on the assumption that they will be crushed next.

"You can keep beating me with this!

"That's right. Everyone in the guild seems to be hunting elsewhere, so why don't we go see what happens after we take them down?

"Yeah, I'm going to beat everybody to death!

Fortunately, the two who defeated the whole eye continued to defeat the exclusive monster. We know that Maple's shooting and Sally's slashing can be easily defeated, so as we defeat the fish and increase the number of crusades, we can see something different in their sights.

"Sally, isn't that right?

"Sounds like it. I was talking about a couple of different kinds."

Observing from the shadow of the rock, there were larger sharks than the two swimming in the sky in the same way.

I've never seen a shark before, even though I've killed two fish herds over and over again.

"There's no reason not to defeat it. Maybe I'll drop something."

"Alright, let's get started!

Maple fires a beam of guns from the shadow of the rock, aiming firmly at the shark. It goes straight to the shark and hits the shark's torso cleanly, but unlike the fish herd, its HP is decreasing, but it doesn't fall down, so it opens its big mouth and rushes into both of them with momentum.

"One more shot! Wow!?

As Maple attempted to launch a continuous attack, water erupted from the ground, causing Maple to fall. Maple instantly turns to his defenses when he sees a danger and sees Sally try to distance herself.

"[Bodily Love]!

When you should use the skills you've used many times, it looks like the boulder is stained with Maple and reacts quickly to protect Sally. Immediately afterwards, Maple was blown to the sky by the massive amount of water that erupted like a geyser. As she watched Maple jump in the air for a minute to protect Sally, Sally ran towards the shark.

"This time!

The shark opens a big mouth to the distancing Sally, but Sally switches between them and cuts herself deep to reclaim the distance. Then a voice was heard from afar as we tried to move on to the next attack.

"Sally!! Stop the shark!

"Oboro [restraint boundary]!

Immediately responding to Maple's voice, Sally stopped the shark. Maple went out of his way to say it out loud. There's no reason for that.

Shortly afterwards, a huge explosion sounded over the sky, and a black lump fell on the shark's head. It is Maple with one arm turned into a large sword by [Mechanical God].

As a result, Maple pierced the sword to drop the moving shark's head. While Polori and his head were away from his torso, Maple threw his sword upside down against the pillar and pierced the ground, but the balance collapsed and the sword broke in his jaw and rolled to the ground.

"Are you okay...? That's right."

Although Sally was a little surprised by the unexpected attack, we know from previous battles that Maple won't be damaged just by falling a little.

"It's always a waste to just fall! Looks like it worked!

"In the first place, it doesn't usually fall that much."

It can be said to be unique to Maple, who flies through the sky by suicide bombing. Falling from height is inherently a disadvantage, and it is more common to think of a way not to fall from height in the first place than to think of a better way to fall.

"Ah, yes, something about the materials....."

When Maple stood up and looked around, he found a slime of water rolling around.

"Is this it?

"Oh, what kind of material was that?

Maple picks it up and checks the contents. It only explains the magical water, and the two of us don't know how to use it in a special way.

"Hmm... should I ask Mr. Iz? If it's an important item, I want to collect it early."

Sharks aren't as rare as tropical fish. If this item is important, we will also need to shift to shark hunting.

Well then, let's ask him! Fufufu, good is quick!

"Ohhh. I see. Looks like he's out exploring with Chrome and the others, but Iz can open a workshop anywhere."

When Sally sends a message to Iz, she starts moving Maple on the horse.

"Ah, I know that tropical fish are weak, and I'm going to cut them off on the way! I'll see if I drop anything."

"Yes! Let me attack!

As they earned the number of crusades, they headed for Iz and the others.
