CHAPTER 34 DEFENSE SPECIALIZED AND IMITATION SUBJUGATION

Four hours had already passed from the start of the battle, and it is also noontime on the fourth day.

Maples attempt had succeeded, and theVenom Capsulehad already reached the ceiling.

Also, the wide room, only one quarter of the room was not yet eroded by the capsule.

Venom Capsule

Together with Maples voice, the capsules size increases.

Fuu just a little bit more

Fake Sally is still unscathed.

However, that doesnt matter.

If the capsule fills the room, she would be defeated without being able to recover.

The biggest problem was that attacks couldnt hit it.

The result is already decided.

Fake Sally doesnt have the means to break through this situation.

And, after another hour.

Venom Capsule!

That was the end of a long fight.

Fake Sally was engulfed, and disappeared while scattering flashy red effects.

To be sure, Maple got careful aboutMirage, but Fake Sally didnt have a place to go to in this room that is filled with poison.

And most of all, the medal that fell in the place where Fake Sally disappeared tells the story.

Maple released the capsule.

The capsule broke and a poisonous rain falls and splashes to the ground.

HaaIm spent

To the different type of fatigue from the battle against the monster bird, Maple sat on the ground.

Thank goodness its inside a roomI couldnt have won if it was outside

She couldnt use this tactic if there werent a limit on the space of the room.

If the environment wasnt her ally, she couldnt have won.

I should collect the medal and step on the magic circleI wonder what happened to Sally. Is she fighting with my imitation after all?

Maple picked up the one medal that fell on the floor.

I wonder if she could win if its Sally, it would be easy for her to dodge my attacks though

While worrying about Sally, Maple stepped onto the magic circle.

The light fades, and what appeared in front of her was spiral stairs.

When she looks up, there was light.

It looks like it is connected to somewhere.

Sally is she shouldnt have gone first right

Maple stayed there for a while.

The two had decided to contact each other when they have died.

Since a message had not come from Sally, she knew that she hadnt lost and returned to their starting place.

If that is so, there is only either Sally is still fighting and would teleport anytime soon, or they were completely separated.

Separated, meaning, in the case when Sally didnt fight an imitation.

Sally mightve been left behind in the fog and only Maple had fought.

However, Maple felt that Sally was still fighting.

Sally shouldve been fighting too I know! Syrup,Awakening!

The ring shined and Syrup appeared.

Lets wait while cheering for Sally

An hour of staying with Syrup to cheer after Sally while staying in her place.

That place was enveloped by a shining light.

To be sure, Maple readied her shield and looked what would happen.

Haa I won

The light fades, and Sally was there.

youre the real oneright?

Sally also noticed Maple with her voice and made a stance.

let me confirm if youre the real one

Alright?

Maple looked at Sally doubting, and figured out that Sally fought against Fake Maple.

If that is so, it is normal for her to confirm so she agreed.

Are you Maple who I saw crying out loud during our sixth year of elementary after getting vaccinated?

Wha-W-W-W-W-W-Why do you remember that?!! Forget it!!

A way to confirm that Maple didnt expect.

Saying something that only the person itself knows.

Its logical, but with those embarrassing contents, Maple hides herself behind her large shield with embarrassment.

Sally knew that this Maple was the real one, but she thought of teasing her just a little bit.

She fooled around because she was tired.

Fufufu youre the real one! Well, I knew it though

wait. Let me confirm it too

Maple looked at Sally with serious eyes.

Eh!

Maple started to talk without letting Sally say anything.

are you not Sally who couldnt stand up from fear inside the haunted house during middle school that was taken out through the emergency door by the clerk while crying?

Y-You dont need to remember that!

Are you Sally who had played games too much that wrote killing moves in your notebook?

Wait, Im sorry! Forgive me!!

I retaliated just a little bit

haa it was a hornets nest huh

Anyways, the two was able to safely reunite.

How was it with you, Maple? I fought against Fake Maple

I was against Fake Sally. I won probably an hour ago.

It looks like Sally also got a medal and gave it to Maple

With this, they have ten of them.

How did you win against Fake Maple?

Sally was about to answer that, but she stops midways.

Ifif theres a tournament-like event, I dont want to lose easily against Maple, so can I make it a secret?

Its okay! nthen, its also a secret how I defeated Fake Sally! I also dont want to lose after all!

Sally says that it was a secret, but she shows her her status.

You can guess with the skills though!

I will thankfully look then

Maple slowly looked at Sallys status.

Some of them have changed

I might use them in the remaining time

Youve become quite reliable after this short time!

From now on, we can fight together again

Sally smiled happily.

Maple also returns a smile.

Then, lets go up stairs

Alright. I still want medals

The two climbed up the spiral stairs towards the light.

The place they went up to was the other side of the valley.

The two were tired after a long fight, but there isnt a lot of time left, that they could rest for.

Its already afternoon of the fourth day.

The one who gets the medal first is the winner.

We should explore the forest

Maple said while looking at the forest that spread in front of them. It is unknown how deep this forest it. It is also unknown if there are dungeon within it.

Lets cheer up and go!

Ohh!

The two entered the forest searching for a new dungeon.
