Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu

>Of course, he had some magic like ‘Destruction Canon,’ but they were few.

“There is a good chance that ‘a.s.sembly of Holy Blades’ will come, and so I have to save the important ones for later.”

This time, the enemy had quickly retreated, but that might not be the case in the future.

However, it was now the second day, and there were more guilds who could not afford to have their players killed.
And so they were more cautious now, which meant that it was perhaps more likely that the would retreat.

Maple was riding Syrup and flying in the air.
This was the best way to travel when Maple, Kasumi, and Chrome were acting together.

“Recently, people immediately start to use their piercing skills as soon as they see me…”

“Well, that’s no surprise.”

“I would do the same.”

Maple had become known far and wide.
It had become common knowledge that you were supposed to use piercing skills if you saw Maple.

For Maple, there was no question that things had become much more difficult for her compared to the first event.

“‘Pierce Guard’ is not enough if I get surrounded…what can I do…”

“I think that you just need to scatter poison everywhere to keep them away from you.
Though, more people are starting to have resistance to that these day…”

They talked about this until they reached the guild that was their destination.

“I’m jumping down!”

“…Ahh…”

“…Fine.”

Chrome and Kasumi both held Maple’s hands as they got ready to jump down.

They wouldn’t take any damage, thanks to Maple’s skills, but it was a frightening height.

“You aren’t scared, Maple?”

Kasumi asked her.

“I wouldn’t do this in real life…but it doesn’t hurt at all here!”

Chrome heard this and thought.

Would it be possible for him to copy Maple’s pattern of movement that led her to acquiring strange skills?

Perhaps what a person needed in order to acquire skills that were off the beaten path, was to be partially, but naturally ‘off.’

Yes, that was what he was thinking.

The three of them jumped from a height of 10 meters down to the ground.

“I’m taking the orb!”

With the monsters that grew from the ground, and Chrome and Kasumi protecting her, it was difficult to land a piercing attack on Maple.

However, the angel wings would not take damage from anything else.

“Hah… It was a waste of time worrying about it.”

Chrome muttered as he blocked an attack and slashed back.

He was talking about Maple trying to figure out what to do about the piercing attacks.

It wasn’t a big enough issue to care about.

After all, Chrome couldn’t even imagine Maple in such a desperate situation where she was surrounded like that.
