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

The two of them descended near a large lake. Although it's shaped like a forest, from above, you won't miss a thing.

Near the lake, trees crushed the trunk and lay down, and even the enlarged Ignis was able to descend directly.

Thank you, Ignis.

"Here it is."

"It's not a very good match, and if Maple is there, I'll do it while I can." And don't forget the tips on how to fight.

After a few moments, a monster appeared that could convince me that it was a trick. The surface of the water waves heavily, and a mass of water that ignores the gravity that can be seen all over the nine layers, stretches out from the lake into a myriad of columns and paths connecting them.

Fifty centimeters of fish were swimming at high speed.

It was unpleasant for a monster like this in eight layers with the previous event.

I'm going to complete this quest while my body is stained with speed and combat maneuvers.

Dedicated Mercy !

Hao Yan !

As Maple hardened her defenses, Mi burst into flames from the Safe Zone. It still burns through the pillars of water, causing heavy damage to the fish inside.

Ohh!

"If you move fast, you can defeat it with a wide range of attacks so that you can no longer escape." That said, the damage in the water has decreased..... "

Although it was hit with a heavy blow, the drifting rock should be called nine layers. The fish's HP barely remained, and they joined forces to counterattack and emit a powerful swirling vortex of water.

[Heavy Body]!

At that moment, Maple seemed to be blowing away. The Maple knocked the knockback into place and caught the vortex.

It was a flashy attack, but it didn't seem to have a penetrating effect and would not harm the Maple.

I think I'm getting more or less used to games because I'm starting to develop skills in these situations.

"After all, it's good that you don't have to avoid it... [Azure Flame]!"

Me responds with flames to the water released as a stationary turret of ultra-high firepower. While doing so, Maple also realized that this fight was unusual.

Sulley would jump in and make some damage, so I wouldn't have a problem using skills that I wouldn't normally use in this situation.

Alright, Poison Dragon !

When Maple declares so high, a stream of poison is unleashed towards the lake. It dyes the water pillars and water paths purple, damaging the fish inside. You don't have to keep the water uncontaminated to swim inside.

"Wow..."

As a result of what I was doing, my aim to defeat monsters remained the same, but it was probably not my fault that the poison attack method increased the severity of the picture.

As my HP wobbled, Mi's attack, which was slightly less damaging, began to bury the fish with a single hit.

Once it's poured into the water, it doesn't matter whether the fish is quick or not. If there's a limit to what you can do underwater, you can't escape.

Looking at the sight alone, there was a violent exchange of fire, poison, and water, but what was happening was one-sided devastation.

Upon completing the quest, all the pillars of water that stretched out from the lake disappear and the original quiet lake returns.

"Huh, thank you, Maple!" I wish I had only attacked because of you, and I could have made it easier. "

"If it were true, I would have had to wait a long time!"

Maple would have waited for the poison to spin and collapse.

Even as a fallen tree, I didn't have to think about the necessary evasive measures, so I was able to row to clear easily.

When it comes to partying with me, it feels different than usual again

"I see? Hmm, Kanade... uses magic, but it's a little different, and Sally doesn't use it as the main thing... so maybe it is."

Since only eight people belong to it, there are roles that do not exist naturally. There was no wizard in the [Maple Tree] who could strike high firepower.

Kanade didn't ask for points in her special magic attack because she had Mei and Yui as attackers.

Of course, there are parts of Maple that are spurring it. Even if you don't aim to defeat with high power and nothing, Maple doesn't have to take on all the attacks, so you don't have to do a short showdown, and your attack abilities fall below the average guild.

"You finished faster than I thought."

Did I already get a lot of quests?

"This is all the first thing that came out." Then I think the next one will come out. It will be harder to move forward in the future, so the pace may slow down. "

Quests available now will be the easiest of the nine layers. Even at that stage, some monsters like the dragon attacked from the sky with the advantage, and the strength of the base monster is definitely rising. If you think that the difficulty will increase in the future, your opposing enemies will become tough as well.

Isn't Maple finished yet?

It's still a long way to go, but the guilds are splitting up to see what kind of quests there are.

I see, as long as the [Maple Tree] members are not very compatible with each other, I can clear one of them on this level of difficulty.

Gathering information to avoid losing to a large guild like the Flame Empire ?

"I see. In fact, gathering information is important, and Marx is good at that..."

Sure looks good!

"This kind of event with a base is very useful." I don't feel confident about myself, though.

Nevertheless, the results of the events so far confirm its ability. That's why I trust you.

“I often party with Mizary, Marx, and Sin in particular, and I think we'll probably be joining the four of us at the event, but if we split up, we'll be able to rely on our enemies.”

Yeah! I will!

Although there were not many fights and hostilities, Maple knew how strong they were. If it is polished, it is more dependable.

"It's been a long time, but it's the last preparation period." The Maple Hidden Ball... you must have something, right? "

Well, you shouldn't say that here!

"Fufu, that's correct. I'm scared, but... I'll devise a plan for you to look forward to."

I'll do my best to prepare!

A rival and a friend that Maple could not have done in the game she had just stopped playing. One with such a relationship. Maple, who was not particularly close to his rivals, was not accustomed to it, but he tried to imitate Sally and gave her a sarcastic smile.
