Chapter 303

Defense Specialization and Meeting Up 2

Hmm I moved as planned I hope someone comes soon

Maple was riding on Syrups back in the darkness . They would have just looked like shadows from far away . Every once in a while, she would repeat the act of launching herself into the air and exploding . After a while, she got bored of just exploding, and so she started to use shiny items that reacted to the explosions, so it would look like fireworks . However, Maple was so worried about the safety of the others, that she couldnt settle down .

Alright, one more time! Commence Attack!

Maple shot off of Syrups back and flew high into the air . Then she closed her eyes and covered her ears as she waited for the bombs to go off .

Because of this, Maple did not notice the devil monster that was flying near her, and she was captured while still in the air .

Ahhh!? Oh, you shouldnt be so close!

Just then, all of the bombs detonated, and the monster burst into countless pieces and disappeared .

Wo-wo-woooahahSyrup!

Maple went flying diagonally, and though she tried to make Syrup move, she had launched herself into the air using such a reckless method, and there was no way that Syrup could move in time .

She would fall straight to the ground like this . As she considered just falling or exploding once again so that she could try jumping onto Syrup, she was suddenly caught by something soft that was beneath her .

Huh? Uh? What?

Are you alright?

Damn it, you never fail to surprise me . What are you doing, Maple?

Maple had landed on the back of an enlarged Ignis . Igniss master, Mi was there . And so was Mai, for some reason .

Mi! AndMai? Why are you two together?

Well, I dont want to antagonize Maple Tree if I dont have to . I just happened to find her on the way, so I brought her here .

I see! Thank you!

You be careful too, Maple . It seems like the corners of the map are being swallowed up by darkness . And the closer you are to the darkness, the stronger the monsters . Apparently, my party is inside .

Uh, okay! Ill be careful . Ummm . Ill have to return the favor somehow .

In that case, there is one request Id like to make .

What? What? It can be anything!

Maple said . And so Mi took out a tag from her inventory and showed it to them .

I want you to hold onto this . Dont worry, it will disappear by the time this event ends .

Thats it? Uh Mark Tag?

There was no item description, and so they looked at it with puzzled expressions . But Mi did not explain further . She let Mai off of Igniss back, and then rose into the sky .

Im sure well meet again . I just hope it doesnt involve a battle over medals .

Yes, see you again! Thank you!

Th-thank you so much!

Mi waved at them and then flew away . As Maple had unexpectedly been able to reunite with Mai, now they just needed to wait for the other six .

Now I can protect you . Things are going well! Im glad you got here quickly, since you and Yui have low HP!

Yes . Its quite a relief It seems like the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor members are able to contact each other .

Huh, I wish we could do that too And then I would be able to fly right towards them!

In any case, since the others werent there yet, Maple had to go back to being the marker .

On the other hand, after leaving Mai with Maple, Mi went flying away with Ignis .

Phew . Im glad I was able to get her there . They both seemed really happy . Now, I better hurry!

Mi took out a crystal from her inventory and crushed it . Marx had given it to her, and it worked with the Mark Tag that his skill had made . It allowed you to see the position of the person with the tag .

Gah . Only three of my party members are left Dungeons will be very hard now Tsk . This forceful teleportation is taking so many of us out at once .

The marker of her closest comerade was moving wildly on the map . The person was likely in the middle of a battle . And so Mi rode Ignis towards it as fast as she could .
