Chapter 59
For the sake of good end(a.k.a Cliff Hanger) this time will be short
___________________________________
The Day after material gathering, Maple was walking around in town alone at the2nd stage because the other members are unable to match her logintime today. Because of that she has no choice but to go solo.
During the 2nd?event,Maple didn’t have the chance to explore the 2nd?town properly. Soshe is thinking of exploring this town to some extent today.
「It’s not good to force them to accompany me ne~」
Besides that, Maple also wants toleisurely explore alone.
Her First goal is to search for Sally’sequipment.
Next is to search for a skill or equipment that will make her stronger.
Maple still doesn’t have headequipment so her target is something for her head.
Maple talked with the NPC that shesees, one after another.
But with her status, she was notable to trigger any event.
It is the case where event requires statusother than VIT.
For example in Sally’s?【Super Acceleration(chōkasoku)】, even if she talks with the key NPCfor that event, nothing will happen.
「Maybe I should try to go and see the edge of town」
Leaving from the town’s center, thenumber of people who walk around decreases.
There are buildings that can be seenas【Guild Home】,because of that Maple can’t go inside.
She tried to go around the back alleys andwas able to find few buildings that she can enter but they are just emptyhouses.
「Oo! I can go in here too」
Maple made a cracking sound on thedoor when she opens it.
Inside the room, there is a girllying on a tattered bed being taken care of by a woman who looks like hermother.
「ara?Okyaku-san(a guest)? pardon me」
「A-, don’t worry (TLN: ie mean no but i can’t find good one totranslate it)」
「Are you okay?....Sorry, It’s painful right?」(TLN: I don’t know who talk here)
Because Maple is getting awkwardwith the atmosphere, she tried to get out silently but,
The woman after taking care of herdaughter goes to Maple’s place.
「Ano... Are you a Kishi-sama?(a Knight)」
「e(Thinking for a while)? U-un, Wa- what about it?」
If you look at Maple’s Equipment,instead of a magic user or a swordsman, being called a Knight actually fits herappearance.
「Kishi-sama(knight)! Please! Help My Daughter! I can’t giveanything back but... Please, please....just please」
In front of Maple’s eye, a Bluecolor panel is floating.
Quest【Benevolence Knight (Hakuai no Kishi)】
Under these words, there is a Yes andNo being displayed as well.
Maple press “yes” once.
Because Maple is being asked forhelp, she can’t press “no”.
Even if there is no compensation, she doesn’t mind.
「Th-thank you very much! We need my daughter’s medicine...but it looks I can’t go alone... I will guide you so please take me with you.」
「....Understood! I will protect you!」
The woman approach Maple.
Above the woman’s head a HP Bar isfloating. It seems like if the quest is not properly handled, the quest can’tbe repeated.
And here Blue monitor/windowsappear, the details of the quest are explained in there.
Maple made sure to carefully readthe details and the quest goal.
The Goal is to make sure that thewoman is alive till they arrived at the destined place.
There no time limit.
「For now, isn’t it fine to take her outside?」
When Maple steps outside of thehouse the woman began to talk.
「We will go to?the【Tree of Life】,from here go straight to the east」
「Okay」
Maple called out Syrup and likealways she got on its back.
Because the woman had a setting thatshe must stand within 2 meter radius with Maple as the center, when Maple goton Syrup back, using Syrup’s leg as a foothold the woman jump following Maple.
「Aren’t you actually strong? You’re more powerful than meisn’t it?」
「We aim for the east」
「a, yes....【Psychokinesis (Nenriki)】!」Like always Syrup is floating and they smoothlyfly heading east.
