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

It's a maple that goes down the stairs, but there's no lighting on the walls, and the stairs seem to be made of stone, and it has a slightly different atmosphere than the archives that were built earlier.

”I have to make sure I don't fall down...... er, prepare a light......”

Maple starts by taking out the lights Izz made for her. The ball-shaped one is useful when you start it and it floats near you to illuminate your surroundings. Unlike lanterns, it was a pleasure not to have one hand blocked.

A wall of the same material as a rough stone staircase. If I was thrown here all of a sudden, everyone would think it was a dungeon.

However, the monsters didn't appear inside the Royal Castle. Maple footsteps resound in the darkness, and there is no other sound.

After going through it for a while, I saw a door before the light illuminated.

Isn't there anything else?

I checked the area before opening the door, but there was no other way, especially if there was no other characteristic. Then Maple grabs the door knob when she has no choice but to open it. Slowly move the door knob and the door opens accordingly.

As the maple entered, it seemed that no one had entered there for a very long time, and the slight wind when the door was opened could tell that the dust would dance and shine on the light.

Is this place no longer in use?

However, like the upper floor, it also seemed to be used as a library, with bookshelves lined up, and there were some books left behind.

After glancing around, Maple decides to return and walks through the old library.

"I wonder if there's anything... um, all these strange books"

Overall, the bookshelf is empty and not completely filled with books, so there are some things that can be seen up to the cover even if they are fallen and not removed, but there are some strangely vivid eye reliefs on the cover as if they were real, some things that seem to be pulsing for a moment, some things that have red and black stains and do not seem to have a good conservation status, but none of them can be said to look good, and there is nothing that arouses Maple's interest.

"There were many beautiful books up there, so I think you should read them."

There are many things that don't even have a title, and if you don't know what they are, there is no reason to take them.

There is another sound in the space where only the footsteps of Maple could be heard, such as walking around the room around the street that Maple decides and going back around.

It's behind Maple. Exactly from the ears.

"... hey, come here."

"Whoa!? Whoa!?"

Maple looked back in a panic at the flying man's voice, but there was nothing but darkness. It was a maple that seemed to be standing right behind me, but if it were, even if it was faster than Sally, it wouldn't be able to disappear from sight.

The voice is something I can't remember, and it doesn't seem to be a prank of someone I know, but I can't confirm its existence even if I look around.

However, Maple walks around the library to find out who he is, even though she probably didn't hear it wrong.

"Over here. Over here."

"Wow! Again...!"

Although I am surprised when I speak to you suddenly, because there is no harm in the present situation, I walk towards the place where the voice shows, and I walk towards the voice that is the only clue.

It was not a bookshelf, it was a table that was tall around Maple's chest. There is a book on the table that is sealed so that it cannot be read, like a bandage with red letters written on it.

"Just open it."

"This?... I'm not saying anything anymore..."

Maple didn't answer my question, so I had to do as I was told.

Shall I untie you?

As the Maple lifts up the book and removes the wrapped cloth, a red effect resembling that used in the magic circle spreads all over the room along with the intense wind generated from the book.

Maple, who was blown away by a sudden strong wind, realized something bad was happening and rushed to the floor to close the book and rewind the bandage.

Perhaps Maple's response was correct. The rough wind subsided and silence returned to the library.

"I'm surprised... I wonder what it was"

"Thank goodness. I'll use your magic power for a while."

"Whoa, whoa!?"

It was a maple that looked around at the voice that could still be heard, but there was no one else but Maple.

When Maple was in trouble because she couldn't help but be spoken to one side, the door opened vigorously behind her.

"Wow!... oh, king?"

The first person there was the Dragon Man, the king of the kingdom, who met face to face in the throne room.

She peers into the face as she walks closer to Maple.

How did you get in?

"Um, down the stairs..."

"Did the guy here bring you in because he thought you were one of us... hmm?"

The king grabs Maple's cheeks and pulls them.

N-No, I can't believe it!

"To be treated as a fellow in a forbidden book... are you really a human?" If you tear it apart, will something strange come out? "

As the king took his hands off, Maple rushed and took a short distance.

"It's not coming out!"

In fact, even if it comes out, it is not strange to have various things in the body, and it can be said that it is more like it than the normal nitride in the area, but as a classification, it will be human.

"Whatever, but if you're in symbiosis with something like that, you'll be devoured." It's a punishment for entering on your own initiative. "

With that, the king slowly released his hands in front of his chest. Then, a red and black light flashes, and a mirror large enough to reflect the entire body of the maple in the air emerges.

Whether to look at this or not, Maple approaches, looks at her in the mirror, and her eyes are rounded.

"W-What is this!?"

"You have to do something before the one in your body sucks you out and dries you out!"

A black pattern covered half of Maple's face from her neck, as if she had done a facepaint. It will not fall off if I rub it with my hands. It also looks like it's eating away at the body.

A puzzling maple, but a quest is forced to start without a problem.

"[The Lord of Forbidden]... ugh, I've never heard of it..."

The quest name that didn't come up when I was talking to Sally and Mi, I didn't have any vision from here either.

"With that body, you won't be able to use any magic properly!" I'll pick up your bones when you're dead. I don't want to be sprinkled with such things. "

"Huh!?"

When Maple checked her abilities, she could no longer use any of the abilities she activated, including her gear. Although my proud defense is a passive skill, it's just an unusually hard figurine.

It is unlikely that this quest will end from the king's mouth. I had to wait for the event, but that was a problem.

We have to hurry!

Maple rushed out of the Royal Castle to complete the quest.

835 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

Hey! Your daughter Greg is waiting for you!

836 Name: Unnamed Bowman

I'm sure it's fashion.

837 Name: Unnamed Spearman

Who is it?

838 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

Maple.

839 Name: Unnamed Spearman

ahh.....

840 Name: Unnamed Wizard

I mean, it was for the sake of seeing, but the spiritual aspect didn't change, did it?

841 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

I ran into him in town, but he had a black spot on his face.

842 Name: Unnamed Spearman

I wonder if it's a side effect of any of your skills?

There are a lot of things that seem to be applicable.....

843 Name: Unnamed Bowman

It could be fashion!

844 Name: Unnamed Wizard

I feel like sensibility is flying somewhere, but I don't think that's the direction.

845 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

Oh, you did it.

846 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

Guardian-

I can't keep my eyes open, so I'm doing something.

847 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

We were all talking about it.

He says it's best to let him move freely.

848 Name: Unnamed Bowman

Please change your education policy!

Please!!

849 Name: Unnamed Spearman

Oh, my God, I'm losing my body again.

It's your fault.

850: Nameless Shieldman

Well, that's great.

851 Name: Unnamed Wizard

A mad scientist?

852 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

I haven't really heard what it's like, and if anything, it could really be fashion.

853 Name: Unnamed Spearman

I'm sure it's not zero.

If it's about face paint, you can buy it at the store.

854 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't think so.

Even so, it's a little more like this... it's cute, isn't it?

855 Name: Unnamed Spearman

We've come to a conclusion.

Oh, my God, I'm losing my body again.

It's your fault!

856 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

Don't let the cute girl travel!

857 Name: Unnamed Bowman

But I've never seen a skill that changes its appearance permanently, so there's a theory that it's not a skill.

858 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

It's close to the event, and I want you to see how it works.

859 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

At least with those eyes, please.

860: Nameless Wizard

I don't have any good memories of things that are reminiscent of black.

861 Name: Unnamed Spearman

It's a low cost to be strong just by letting you relax.

862 Name: Unnamed Bowman

However, in fact, the range of skills that Maple can adapt to is narrow, so even good skills may end up being misleading.

863 Name: Unnamed Wizard

I can't help it if I raise the status percentage.

864 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

That's what we said.

I didn't do it because I didn't turn into one.

865 Name: Unnamed Wizard

Please forgive me ~ ~

866 Name: Unnamed Bowman

Everyone! Same Faction! Let's go!

There's nothing to worry about if you're an ally. In addition, the event allows you to adapt the effects of buffs and other effects to a wider range, so if the skill you gain belongs to it, you will be aged forever.

It was the face of a bulletin board that brought this information back to each guild with renewed determination.
