The eighth event was also over, and [Maple Tree] was able to achieve its goals at the event as well. Later is the use of medals obtained.

Maple and Lisa were talking about it as they walked home from school.

"Did Maple decide what skills to make it?

"Not yet. The replacement period is still ahead of us, and I'm gonna think about it."

"Are you with everyone else?"

"What about Lisa?

"I won't be coming to the next event for a while, and I don't have the skills I need right now."

Like Lisa said, the event has just ended and you don't need to rush to increase your power. Seven layers are made quite widely, and the implementation of eight layers was still going to take a while, so there are no immediate goals in particular.

"You can relax again!

"Right. Get ready to level up and look for skills."

When Lisa says so, Maple brightens her expression in the way that she came up with one.

"... yes! If you're looking for skills, why don't we explore the layers together? There's still a place I haven't been!

"Sure. Every layer of this game is huge, and even one layer of [absolute defense] can be removed."

I thought Ali was the one to explore places I hadn't even been able to go as Lisa. Maple proves on its own that there are many hidden things. However, it was clear from the look on Maple's face that the main purpose was not to look for skills.

"Pfft, you're right. Looking for skills while sightseeing."

"Haha, got it?

"Sort of? Fine, let's go find a good spot. You don't have to have a plan, do you?

"Yeah! I mean looking for a secret place I haven't seen yet!

If combat is one way to enjoy it, then just walking around the game world is one way to enjoy it.

Just finishing the fierce battle at the event, the two decided to take it easy to walk around, from one layer to seven.

"Oh, of course, because we can't have six layers!

"Yes...... helpful...... see you in the game"

"Yeah!"

On the way home, the two wave and break up. Looking at the maple, which runs lightly in the footsteps like I'm looking forward to it, I can't help but grin from Lisa.

Lisa also recollects her previous adventures as she walks home.

Maple is much longer than it has ever been and seems to be much more enjoyable. I'm more than happy with that, but a little anxious to think about how long it will last.

"... now I need to have fun! I've never seen you get that far."

He's enjoying himself right now. I enjoy myself. That's all right, Lisa rushed to the house to start the game.

Lisa, who hurried home, quickly logged into the game when she finished dressing and more. Here, as Sally, wait for Maple's arrival.

"I'm sorry! Wait?"

"No, I just got here. So, you really don't have any plans today?

When asked again what to do, Maple laughs at it and re-suggests walking around relaxed without any plans.

"Well, let's go. Monsters won't be opponents, and you don't need to be ready."

"Yeah, shucks!

When Maple and Sally move into one layer, they look over the town. The number of people in town is dispersed and smaller than before, as there were also quite a few implemented areas compared to when the game was just beginning. But still, the town was still vibrant.

"Long time no see."

"I really tend to be more focused on new layers of strategy and exploration."

"Where shall we go?

"Anywhere you want, anywhere Maple wants."

"Then let's start in town!

"Whoa."

The two walk around town. Although a further town had walked around quite a while ago, players and buildings did have a change there.

Player stores that weren't originally available hit that. Because the newest and first layers tend to have more people, there is even more demand.

"Speaking of which, I hardly see anyone with early gear."

"Well, when you get all this gear and costumes, you can get dressed even though you like the look and performance.

"You know what?"

"Some atmospheres can only be tasted in the first place."

"I see."

Maple and Sally enter an unrecognizable store in order. Accessories, clothing, and furniture for those who joined the Alliance quickly are an unbeatable range of seven layers anywhere.

"Ooh! Amazing!"

"There will be restrictions on what you can make if you don't have a higher level of skill, and is someone on the front line, like Mr. Iz, opening a store here as well?

"It's fun to be fashionable."

Sally also goes inside as Maple heads into the back of the store with Patapata.

"Buy something?

"Hmm, I guess I'll do that"

"Look, it was pretty noticeable earlier."

"Ugh, you've been like that before. Kind of weird."

Maple is famous both for his appearance as a person and his appearance as not. If you wear this distinctive armor, you'll get noticed even if you don't like it. The same is true, of course, of Sally.

"Ma, but it's hard to relax and sightsee when you get a lot of attention. Change your outfit and look!

"Then why don't you want the clothes you bought before? Here!"

When Maple slightly changes his gear, it becomes a white piece and his hair changes to long hair.

"There's Sally too, isn't there?

"Ugh, well... I do. That's a little..."

When Sally says it's too cute for me and doesn't look good, Maple gives it back as soon as that's not the case.

"Then at least let me change my hair! That's about it, right?

"Um, let's allow it."

"Pfft, thanks"

Get permission from Maple. Sally changes her outfit, too. Though the blue tone remains the same, the frills increase and gear changes to skirts you don't normally wear. I decided not to just change my hairstyle to the twin tail I bought with him before, and to keep my hair down, which I usually use as a ponytail.

"Mmmm... you make it unexpected"

When Maple puts his hand on his chin and says so, Sally thinks for a moment what's going on, and returns it all to his name.

"Look, that means we're aligned there. So we can manage!

Maple loosens his expression when he glances at his hair, which is equally straight down.

"Eh, heh, good."

"Whoa! Well, we'll normally look at the trinkets and stuff. That's what it was originally about."

"Right! Does Sally want anything?

The two think about the Guild's own room as they look at the list of furniture being sold. It is good to have Iz make it, but it is also good to buy it at these places.

"Um, you're pretty much in a common area when it's an Alliance home,"

"I tried putting the furniture down! I can't be seen on the field with a level increase or anything..."

"It is. Can I go next time?

"Of course! I don't know if that would help. Oh, wouldn't Sally look good like this?

Maple suggests some simple and cool furniture. When Sally looked at the furniture in detail, she bought them all whether she liked them or not.

"Ooh! You're an adult."

"You're making money as you level up. Unlike old times, we have money."

"Fine, I don't have any money."

"I bought a lot of maples."

"I need to collect money again..."

I'll help you then.

"Thanks! Hmm, let's keep about the star on what we want to buy"

The two of them get out of the store and start walking through town when they have finished looking at all the items in this store. As we both aim, if we change our outfits and hairstyles, we won't know it's Maple and Sally at a glance. When their gaze disappeared, they laughed face-to-face that they had succeeded and went into a store. That's the store where the two of us had our cakes right after we started the game.

The two start talking when they ask for the same cake again.

"Has Maple been here since then?

"Yeah, because I had a lot to do in the newest layers"

"Well, it's hard to keep up with what's being implemented."

"Yeah, 'cause I think I can relax a little now"

"Sure. What layer of maple do you like best or something?

"It's hard... but I like it everywhere!

"Looks like Maple."

Maple, who smiles innocently and returns so, looks like he enjoys anything from the bottom of his mind. Not only do I see it, I really do.

"What about Sally?

"Hmm, basically anywhere with Maple."

"Eh heh, really?

"Of course. That's why you invited me to the game."

"I'm glad it worked properly in battle -. It's a game you've invited me to, and it hasn't worked."

"Well, this time it's going too well."

"Haha, you're right"

Sally is much more used to the game. It's so unusual now that they can be just as strong without having to fit in and align their feet.

That's how Sally tells her to cut out for a little while as they continue to talk about not loving each other while eating the cake.

"Also another..."

As Maple waited for the next word, Sally laughed a little and opened the shop menu to switch.

"No, do you want another cake? Here Menu"

"Oh, yeah! I'll eat! How about Sally?

"Of course. Oh, but we need to eat too much and not scatter too much, like before. We've only just started sightseeing."

"Right, we need to be careful!

Thus the two extended their forks into the cake as the soothing air flowed again.
