Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu

After a thorough check of the two countries, Maple decided to belong to a country based on the theme of water and nature, as decided at the beginning, and re-entered the country and replaced the mark indicating his affiliation.

After checking the quests for each guild member, it was concluded that there would be no special struggles with the quests received at this time, so [Maple Tree] decided that the quests would be divided into eight groups to gather various information in time for the event.

For example, while collecting materials, Izz records where there are sampling points.

If you use this field as it is, it will make sense to ensure that the procurement of supplies goes smoothly.

Originally, I needed nine layers of materials, so I was left to Izzy with two birds in one stone.

As Sulley said when he was working with Maple, he was sure of the strength and ability of the monsters, and Chrome and Kasumi were sure of the terrain they could use to defend when attacking when exploring.

Compared to the Fourth Event, our positions have vast and varied terrain. I naturally have parts that I can't grasp well, but I want to reduce them as much as possible.

With that in mind, the Guildmaster's Maple.

Hmm, it's hard to say free exploration again.

In particular, it was not decided to do this, and it was a policy to explore the whole as you wish.

It's good to see places that people don't seem to see!

Messages are regularly shared about where and how they explored. In the meantime, it's unlikely that we would have gathered the same information from the same location if we had shifted our search destination from there.

However, as a guild, I did not launch such a policy because I wanted the hole to be filled, but because I was aiming for the unique upside of Maple.

Since Maple hadn't told me about it, the search itself was no different than it had ever been before.

"Syrup? Which one do you want?"

I asked the syrup walking next to me, but of course I didn't get an answer.

”Hmm... then let's do it this way”

Maple has been given several quests at the same time because she says she can do whatever she wants. I intend to explore the surrounding terrain as I progress through the quest according to the direction of the nine layers.

Maple was headed for the frozen forest this time. Tall trees are completely frozen in the area, and the sun is shining brightly.

I arrived at my destination relaxedly without any particular haste. There seems to be thick ice covering the surface of the trees, and the trees are frozen and preserved in the clear ice.

”Wow... I wonder if it won't melt?”

When I tapped the surface, the hard sound came back from the con. It doesn't look like it's melting even after touching it, so it will stay like this for a long time if you don't do anything.

Alright, look gently!

This time, it was an unusual sampling quest for Maple. The items we find are frozen leaves, unlike the trees everywhere, which we can tell by looking at them.

If it was a sampling quest, it would be Izzy's, but I left it for a reason that I couldn't come here alone.

Although Maple has told us about it, she only works on the sampling until the event in question occurs.

I wonder if you have one.

The ground is frozen a lot, so I observed it while being careful not to slip.

It was still my first quest, but soon I found what I was looking for.

Whether it was covered with thicker ice, the leaves with a dark color close to blue were floating from around, and it was like seeing this at a glance.

"It's a bit expensive, but..."

Maple holds a shield because there isn't enough room to make the syrup huge.

"It's been a long time since I've used it."

Creating a crystal wall from the ground by activating the purple crystal shield you gained during the second event, as well as the abilities associated with it.

Although it was a wall, Maple usually used it as a scaffolding like this one.

When I reached out to climb the crystal wall, I could easily rip off the desired leaves.

"Now... here we go!"

All I had to do was collect the number of quests I needed to complete them in the same way.

However, when several leaves were collected, the existence that was the reason for this in Ize showed up with the roar.

Even though it was much smaller than a floating castle, it was undoubtedly a dragon that was covered with blue scales and flying with solid large wings.

Wow, I'm out!

The dragon unleashes a water brace around the maple before it does anything.

I was relieved that the Maple was not damaged by the invisible water.

"Great....."

But for a while, the dragon spewed out cold air as a brace. It freezes the maple, which is well watered from the ground to the ground, and traps it in the ice. The [Bad Food] didn't freeze the shield, but I couldn't swallow all the ice in my body.

"...... well done!"

His body seemed to be completely hardened, he could see beyond the clear ice, and his limbs, which could only grasp the situation, were completely stuck.

Maple thought she could somehow melt it, but she noticed that a big shadow had formed around her.

It was a pursuit. A massive block of ice is created over the head of the maple and falls shortly thereafter. The ice that hit the immobile maple jumped sideways to push the maple back as it crushed the ice that covered the maple.

"We did it! We missed it!"

However, it seemed that there was no damage to him, and he was rather happy that he had escaped the ice cage. If you chased me every time, I wouldn't have to think of a way to melt it.

Gun Barrel Deployment ! Attack Start !

Although Maple deploys her weaponry to counter-attack, she fires artillery shells into the air, her evasiveness seems to be excellent, and she can only hit a fraction of her enemies, making her unable to reduce her health as expected.

"It's going to take some time..."

Maple gives up and starts walking because she feels like she can't help it. This time it wasn't intended for battle.

Dragons are not a threat to Maple, just because they are pickled in ice.

Then this time it's best to ignore it. However, there is no doubt that it is not something that can be ignored.

I'll be right out!

Maple rushed out to collect frozen leaves.
