.
Afterchoosing the extra quest route, Maple went out of the temple to look for thelady but the lady was nowhere to be found.
「they seem to have go home first …?」
After exploring around the templefor a while, Maple also head back to town with Syrup.
Upon arriving, Mapleheaded for the lady’s house immediately.
「… … How is itgoing?」Mapleopens 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 sleepingface.
「Knight(Kishi-sama) …… My daughter …… My daughter won’t wake up ……」
Maple approached the girl to check the situation, butit showed that the girl was not breathing.
「Er, … No way? Huh?」
「I … I’m buying an apple for my daughter … Becausemy daughter likes apples ……」
The lady went out as she said so, with a gauntlyfootsteps.
she did not seem to be in a normal state as she won’t accept the currentsituation.

「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 lettersin the air.
「Three days later … 【A corrupted church】?」
After Maple took a little look at the letters, thelight overflowing from the girl faded away and disappeared.
「I wonder if Ishould go there …? But where is that place ….. There was a library in thistown … Shall I look it up in there?」
Maple went out outside, and as if toreplace her the lady came back.
Maplecame to the library as intended.

「Well … There is a map, right?」
Maple looks for books with maps on the second layer.
Althoughshe 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, Mapledecided to stop the game here and cut out the investigation for today.
Next day.
Maple came out of the library after investigating.

「Wasit on the history shelf?… I must have missed it……」
Maple discovered some note writtenabout the church in the corner of the book about the history in this game.
「Three days later … I do not know what’sin there, I guess I should buy some potion」
Maple was gettingready for anything that gonna happen three day later.

「It is comfortablethanks to Syrup!」
Maple praise Syrup while headingsouth.
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 herarmor 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 wasincredibly 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 shouldwalk to explore occasionally.
In front of Maple there was a ruffledchurch at last.

「Yoshi,Let’s enter it!」
The door has already gone away, andthe 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 oldit still exists.
Maple noticed something shining sparkling on the floor beneath it.
「this……?」
The identity of the light was asmall bottle of glowing gas.
Maple looks at the information of the vial.
【Archangels’fragments】
「It is somewhatamazing … … (Na, nandakasugo-sō)」
Maple took it as an important itemand headed for the girl as soon as possible.
Maplegently opens the door of the lady’s house and enters inside.
「Knight(Kishi-sama) … What’s happen?」

「There is something Iwant to try for a bit」
Maple standing right next to thesleeping 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 thegirl formed a beautiful woman shape this time the same manner as when the lightshaped the letters before.
While staring at the lady where Maple is standing she began to speak.
「Thank you. Iwas about to take away this child’s life」

「Wa,ha~a…so, that was happening?」
「To you, a part of my strength … withthis I can finally return home…」
In the end the light rushed toheaven and disappeared.
At the sametime 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 notunderstood by Maple, she was convinced because the display of Quest Clear wasout.
Maple gently got out and confirmedthe skills she got.
「【Dedicated charity(Mi sasagujiai)】 … uwa …… Whatis this」
Maple murmurs while checking thedetails of the skill.
And she thought of something and started running toward the guild home.
「Izu-san!」

「…What’s wrong? Why areyou 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 knowwhat 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 … Whathappened …?」
Maple headed for the field with Izu.
And Maple used the new skills.
Five days fromthat day.
When Izu logged in she thought about the equipment at the workshop and keptmaking prototypes until she was satisfied.

「Not like this … Equipment suitable for 【Ale】 is not like this …!」
such voice wasechoing in the workshop.
 (TN: Don’t ask me what Ale mean i don’t know myself it just the raw only give アレ this (Are) in katakana)
