Chapter 303
Defense Specialization and Meeting Up 2
“Hmm… I moved as planned… I hope someone comes soon…”
Maple was riding on Syrup’s back in the darkness . They would have just looked like shadows from far away . Every once in a while, she would repeat the act of launching herself into the air and exploding . After a while, she got bored of just exploding, and so she started to use shiny items that reacted to the explosions, so it would look like fireworks . However, Maple was so worried about the safety of the others, that she couldn’t settle down .
“Alright, one more time! ‘Commence Attack’!”
Maple shot off of Syrup’s back and flew high into the air . Then she closed her eyes and covered her ears as she waited for the bombs to go off .
Because of this, Maple did not notice the devil monster that was flying near her, and she was captured while still in the air .
“Ahhh!? Oh, you shouldn’t be so close…!”
Just then, all of the bombs detonated, and the monster burst into countless pieces and disappeared .
“Wo-wo-woooah…ah…Syrup!”
Maple went flying diagonally, and though she tried to make Syrup move, she had launched herself into the air using such a reckless method, and there was no way that Syrup could move in time .
She would fall straight to the ground like this . As she considered just falling or exploding once again so that she could try jumping onto Syrup, she was suddenly caught by something soft that was beneath her .
“Huh? Uh? What?”
“Are you alright…?”
“Damn it, you never fail to surprise me . What are you doing, Maple?”
Maple had landed on the back of an enlarged Ignis . Ignis’s master, Mi was there . And so was Mai, for some reason .
“Mi! And…Mai? Why are you two together?”
“Well, I don’t want to antagonize Maple Tree if I don’t have to . I just happened to find her on the way, so I brought her here . ”
“I see! Thank you!”
“You be careful too, Maple . It seems like the corners of the map are being swallowed up by darkness . And the closer you are to the darkness, the stronger the monsters . Apparently, my party is inside . ”
“Uh, okay! I’ll be careful . Ummm . I’ll have to return the favor somehow . ”
“…In that case, there is one request I’d like to make . ”
“What? What? It can be anything!”
Maple said . And so Mi took out a tag from her inventory and showed it to them .
“I want you to hold onto this . Don’t worry, it will disappear by the time this event ends . ”
“That’s it? Uh… ‘Mark Tag’…?”
There was no item description, and so they looked at it with puzzled expressions . But Mi did not explain further . She let Mai off of Ignis’s back, and then rose into the sky .
“I’m sure we’ll meet again . I just hope it doesn’t involve a battle over medals . ”
“Yes, see you again! Thank you!”
“Th-thank you so much!”
Mi waved at them and then flew away . As Maple had unexpectedly been able to reunite with Mai, now they just needed to wait for the other six .
“Now I can protect you . Things are going well! I’m glad you got here quickly, since you and Yui have low HP!”
“Yes . It’s quite a relief… It seems like the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor members are able to contact each other . ”
“Huh, I wish we could do that too… And then I would be able to fly right towards them!”
In any case, since the others weren’t there yet, Maple had to go back to being the marker .
On the other hand, after leaving Mai with Maple, Mi went flying away with Ignis .
“Phew . I’m glad I was able to get her there . They both seemed really happy . Now, I better hurry!”
Mi took out a crystal from her inventory and crushed it . Marx had given it to her, and it worked with the ‘Mark Tag’ that his skill had made . It allowed you to see the position of the person with the tag .
“Gah . Only three of my party members are left… Dungeons will be very hard now… Tsk . This forceful teleportation is taking so many of us out at once . ”
The marker of her closest comerade was moving wildly on the map . The person was likely in the middle of a battle . And so Mi rode Ignis towards it as fast as she could .
