n「Guha!!」

n「Byebye」

nThe players transformed into light and disappeared.

nSally sheathed her dagger then sat on the ground.

nThere were many invaders that came, but none of them were able to injure Sally.

nThe sixth day has almost ended.

n「Only 30 minutes left huh…」

nSince the last attack, there was no one who came for a while, so it is currently 11:30 pm right now.

nAs long as Maple regains her abilities, they would be able to freely roam around.

nIt is also alright to stay in this dungeon just like now, or go out as well.

n「Today’s… last opponent…?」

nSally stood up and drew her dagger.

nShe heard someone coming.

n「n?」

n「……n?」

nSally and the intruder faced each other.

nThere was only one intruder.

nHer equipments were beautiful Japanese clothes and katana.

n「We… met again!」

n「Haa〜… what have you come here for, Kasumi?」

nThat’s right. The intruder was Kasumi.

nKasumi has not even placed her hand on her katana.

nIt just shows that she does not plan on fighting.

nSally does not have the eagerness to fight her as well.

nShe would retaliate if Kasumi were to attack her, but they opponent was someone she cooperated with to clear a dungeon.

nSally was not thinking of attacking from her side at all.

n「I’m also someone who possesses medals after all. I just thought of hiding myself」

n「It’s the same with us huh」

n「As I’ve thought; Maple’s around right? I don’t see her though…」

n「Maple is staying deep inside」

n「Is it alright to go and see her?」

n「You’ll die in an instant if you can’t walk on poison you know?」

nHearing Sally say that, Kasumi seems to have guessed the situation inside, so she did not look like she was going.

n「Well, I think she’ll come out sooner or later. I asked Maple to keep my medals, so… it’s like, I’m defeating the players that target the medals here」

nHearing that, Kasumi suggested one thing.

n「If so, can I stay here as well? It’s full of battles when I’m walking outside, so…」

nMany players can recognize Kasumi, so there should be a lot of instances when she needs to fight when walking outside.

n「Okay. Kill them if anyone comes」

n「Understood. I also want to take back my gold medals with me」

nThe mid-bosses became two.

nHowever, there should be fewer players who would think that Sally’s a monster, since Kasumi joined her.

nHowever, instead, the allure of getting medals was added, so probably, the possibility of a fight was not less.

nWhen the two girls have guarded the passage ahead while talking, Maple came from the back passage.

n「Sally! They leveled up〜! Look, look〜! ……a-re?」

nSyrup and Oboro were following Maple by her side.

nMaple and Kasumi’s eyes met then.

n「Kasumi?! Why are you here?!」

n「n〜… that’s, well, it’s to protect my medals……but, what’s up with those two?」

nKasumi is the first person other than Maple and Sally who have seen Syrup and Oboro.

n「They are our partners〜!」

nThey hadn’t talked about the monster bird when they had met before, so Maple told her.

nKasumi was surprised by the unbelievable strength of the monster bird, and the fact that they had defeated it.

n「The rewards are eggs huh… right now, only the two of you should have them. I had also met a lot of players, but they did not have one」

nKasumi had guessed right.

nCurrently, only Maple and Sally have pet beasts.

nIt is unknown what will happen in the events from now on, but probably, clearing a high difficulty dungeon should be a requirement.

n「Oh, right, I’ll return Oboro okay?」

n「n, thanks」

nThe two girls returned their equipments.

n「What do you want to do? You wanna leave this cave?」

nSince Maple has resurrected, they should be able to survive even if they do not hide in this cave.

nHowever, it seems like Maple was not eager to go out.

nMaple thinks that it is more important to protect their medals carefully.

nMaple told her thoughts to Sally.

n「If so… it would be great if you block the passage」

n「n, I got it!」

nMaple walked towards the entrance of the hall and drew out Shingetsu.

nA huge violet magic circle was created.

n「【Hydra】!」

nThe poison dragon messed up the passage while advancing towards the entrance.

nMaple was clueless about the fact that along the way, it devoured one party, and crashed into the players in the entrance.

nMaple then walked through that passage, and after walking for a while, she used【Venom Capsule】and returned.

n「With this, we should be safe!」

n「Kasumi and I, won’t be able to get out anymore though〜」

n「Ahh, I see. That’s true…… I believe you okay?」

nKasumi is unable to escape in this situation.

nIt means, it is possible to steal her medals.

nWithout needing to be asked, the other two girls did not plan to do that.

n「With this, we only need to spend one day」

nThe time, it had already passed midnight.

nIt should be better to sleep here once.

nThere is no need to intentionally wait for the 7th day to end while tired.

nTo be sure, the three of them took turns to guard while sleeping.

nIn the end, there was not even one intruder who appeared, and they were able to wake up well.

nOccasionally, there were also players who have poison resistance who entered but still died.

n「Good morning」

n「Good morning!」

n「Good morning. It’s the last day huh」

nThe long was finally about to end.

nMaple and Sally were able to clear their goal, and it was a fascinating event.

n「Ah, that’s right! We don’t know when the medals would be needed, so I’ll give Sally her share okay?」

nMaple took out Sally’s share of medals from her inventory and gave it to Sally.

n「Thanks」

nSally carefully received that and kept it.

nKasumi did not spend all of her efforts to search for silver medals, and was fine as long as she had her gold medal, so she does not have silver medals as much as Maple and Sally.

n「But, it’s somewhat, right? We don’t have anything to do today right?」

n「That’s true」

n「Then, you want to play with Maple’s toys? You have a lot right?」

nMaple agreed with Sally’s suggestion and took out the things that she had one by one.

nWithin them, there was also Othello.

n「Kanade was really strong〜」

nMaple remembered when she played with Kanade. They promised to play again when they meet each other again.

n「Kanade? Who is that?」

nKasumi did not know Kanade, so Maple told her.

nAnd because of the flow of the conversation, she also told Kasumi about the fight against the giant squid, so she was very surprised.

nPlayers like the two who have continuously fought against strong enemies should be rare.

n「Isn’t Maple just weak?」

n「Mumumu… you’ve said it〜? Then play with me okay?」

n「Alright?」

nThe game started with Maple choosing black and Sally with white.

nThe result.

nThe board was almost covered with black color.

n「Eh…? Maple, aren’t you too strong?」

n「I’m quite good at it you know? I lose to Kanade though…」

n「Then, let’s do a different game! Something that we can play with the three of us」

nSally could not bear to lose as well, so they decided to play a different game.

nShe understood that she did not have any chance of winning with Othello.

nAnd just like that, while the three girls were playing, not even one player had disturbed their time.

nAnd, finally.

nThe end of the event has come.

nAn announcement echoed throughout the field, and the players would be teleported to the place they were before after five minutes.

nWith this, the two girls must part with Kasumi again.

n「Then, when we return」

n「Yeah, let’s meet again」

nA new encounter and new powers obtained.

nThe second event ended with the two girls full of satisfaction.
