Chapter 62

Defense specialization and skill acquisition .

After choosing the extra quest route, Maple went out of the temple to look for the lady but the lady was nowhere to be found . 「they seem to have go home first . . . ?」

After exploring around the temple for a while, Maple also head back to town with Syrup . Upon arriving, Maple headed for the lady’s house immediately .

「 . . . . . . How is it going?」

Maple opens the door of the lady's house quietly .

The girl was asleep .

The hurt expression that she had so far disappeared, it was a calm sleeping face .

「Knight(Kishi-sama) . . . . . . My daughter . . . . . . My daughter won’t wake up . . . . . . 」

Maple approached the girl to check the situation, but it showed that the girl was not breathing .

「Er, . . . No way? Huh?」

「I . . . I'm buying an apple for my daughter . . . Because my daughter likes apples . . . . . . 」

The lady went out as she said so, with a gauntly footsteps .

she did not seem to be in a normal state as she won’t accept the current situation .

「E… e!?, the quest has advanced!」

Maple has confirmed the current quest that she had, but noticed that the girl's body began to shine lightly .

Maple stands right next to the girl .

Maple checks the girl and was observing as to what was going on .

「Letters . . . . . . of light?」

Yellow light overflowing from the girl formed letters in the air .

「Three days later . . . 【A corrupted church】?」

After Maple took a little look at the letters, the light overflowing from the girl faded away and disappeared .

「I wonder if I should go there . . . ? But where is that place . . . . . There was a library in this town . . . Shall I look it up in there?」

Maple went out outside, and as if to replace her the lady came back . Maple came to the library as intended .

「Well . . . There is a map, right?」

Maple looks for books with maps on the second layer . Although she found some map, there was nothing written in detail .

At most it is enough to learn the terrain .

「U ̄ n . . . it was different from what I thought . . . . . . 」

As there is still much time left for the quest, Maple decided to stop the game here and cut out the investigation for today . Next day .

Maple came out of the library after investigating .

「Was it on the history shelf?… I must have missed it……」

Maple discovered some note written about the church in the corner of the book about the history in this game .

「Three days later . . . I do not know what’s in there, I guess I should buy some potion」Maple was getting ready for anything that gonna happen three day later .

「It is comfortable thanks to Syrup!」

Maple praise Syrup while heading south .

She get off from syrup at the entrance of the forest which spread to the south, and goes into the forest .

「I can afford it if there is no one to protect」

Occasionally appearing monsters hit her armor and make a Gashan Gashan noise .

But, they cannot damage Maple .

It was nothing new for Maple

However, Maple did not use Syrup and she was incredibly slow so it took about two hours to get to the church .

「Ha~a . . . I have not walked lately . . . 」

Maple was tired and thought that she should walk to explore occasionally . In front of Maple there was a ruffled church at last .

「Yoshi, Let’s enter it!」

The door has already gone away, and the interior has been eroded by ivy and vegetation .

Maple walks in the center of the room where the chair is lining up .

On the front wall there is a large cross which is tilted, and even if it is old it still exists .

Maple noticed something shining sparkling on the floor beneath it .

「this……?」

The identity of the light was a small bottle of glowing gas .

Maple looks at the information of the vial .

【Archangels' fragments】

「It is somewhat amazing . . . . . . (Na, nandaka sugo-sō)」

Maple took it as an important item and headed for the girl as soon as possible .

Maple gently opens the door of the lady's house and enters inside . 「Knight(Kishi-sama) . . . What's happen?」

「There is something I want to try for a bit」

Maple standing right next to the sleeping girl, took out the small bottle from the inventory and opened the lid .

At that moment, the girl's body starts to shine dazzlingly .

「Uwa! ?」

「Knight(Kishi-sama)! What's happening!」

「E, i, I can’t see it! ?」

The glow that overflowed from the girl formed a beautiful woman shape this time the same manner as when the light shaped the letters before .

While staring at the lady where Maple is standing she began to speak .

「Thank you . I was about to take away this child's life」

「Wa, ha~a…so, that was happening?」

「To you, a part of my strength . . . with this I can finally return home . . . 」

In the end the light rushed to heaven and disappeared .

At the same time the girl wake up .

「What . . . Mother(Okā-san) . . . ?」

「A, a…… āaa!」

The lady hugs the girl .

The girl seemed have no idea on what is happening .

「I wonder if it is a onetime occasion . . . ?」

Although the way it ended was not understood by Maple, she was convinced because the display of Quest Clear was out .

Maple gently got out and confirmed the skills she got .

「【Dedicated charity(Mi sasagu jiai)】 . . . uwa . . . . . . What is this」

Maple murmurs while checking the details of the skill .

And she thought of something and started running toward the guild home . 「Izu-san!」

「…What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry」

「I want you to make a set of equipment, but . . . can you do it?」

「Well . . . I can do it but I want to know what kind of equipment it is . . . is there something wrong?」

「 . . . . . . Because I do not understand it well, will you come with me for a while?」

「Seriously . . . What happened . . . ?」

Maple headed for the field with Izu .

And Maple used the new skills . Five days from that day .

When Izu logged in she thought about the equipment at the workshop and kept making prototypes until she was satisfied .

「Not like this . . . Equipment suitable for 【Ale】 is not like this . . . !」

such voice was echoing in the workshop .
