01x12 - Defense and Bonds

[bunniefuu]

Holy Blade of Conviction!

So it's Stout Guardian.

But how long can you fight
with just one HP?

Predator! Hydra!

It's useless!

Maple!

Take care of the orbs.

Multi-Fire b*ll*ts!

Maple, use Cover Move!

Yes!

Cover Move!

Super Acceleration!

Iz!

I can't use Cover Move.

I'll drag everyone down.

Stop worrying about others.

How are you going to fight?

Syrup, Mother Nature!

A meaningless effort.

Mai, Yui, don't leave my side.

-Yes!
-Yes!

Is this the time to worry about others?

Power Axe.

-Chrome!
-Chrome!

Is that a skill similar to Maple's?

I'm pretty strong too.

Would you like to see my clones?

You won't be able to escape my grasp.

Leave him to me.

Go and help Maple.

Okay.

Mult-Stone b*ll*ts!

Kasumi!

Just so you know,
I won't always stay behind.

Multi-Barrier!

sh*t.

No matter how quick you are,
you won't be able to move now, right?

Oboro, Awaken!

Not on my watch!

Oboro!

Frederica.

Keep her trapped.

You can count on me.

You're not getting away!

Arms of Steel!

You're pretty strong.

Black Smoke!

Kanade!

Dred, take care of the orbs.

Okay.

Syrup, Spirit Cannon!

Predator! Hydra!

This is my last move.

I'm going to give my all.

Holy Blade of Destruction!

Maple!

-Maple!
-Maple!

-Maple!
-Maple!

Counter!

She abandoned her shield at this time?

Payne!

-Maple!
-Maple!

-Maple!
-Maple!

Taking the full blast
of Maple's attack directly,

even if it's Payne...

This isn't the end.

No way.

I also have Stout Guardian.

Holy Blade of Vanquish!

Atrocity!

Was I too rash?

It backfired.

Seriously?

It's coming again.

Somehow, I feel relieved.

Okay, I lost.

Multi-Barrier!

Sure enough, it's useless.

We won.

Did we win?

That was really tough.

She actually defeated Payne.

She's way too awesome.

When Maple ditched her shield,
I had no idea what she wanted to do.

Sally told me before.

If I'm in a difficult situation,
I still have this move.

Kanade!

Iz!

Sorry, I got k*lled.

How was the battle?

No problem.

Maple defeated them.

We did it, Kanade, Iz.

Well, Maple.

Can't you return to your original state?

I can only transform once per day.

It's wasteful if I remove it now.

The plan seriously went off track.

At the end of the second day,

Maple had already used
Machine God and Atrocity.

All our trump cards are exposed.

So I'd like to proceed to the next stage.

Since Maple already transformed
into Atrocity,

I think this is our best chance to attack.

Since the other orbs
have returned to their original guilds,

there's no need to guard the base.

Maple Tree is currently in sixth place.

But there are still
three days left before the event ends.

If this continues,

it's likely that the large-scale
guilds will turn the tables soon.

To prevent our placing from dropping,

we must make it more difficult
for other guilds to score the points.

The only effective way is
to reduce the total number of orbs.

In other words, we have to...

Reduce the number of guilds.

All right, let's go.

The guilds are being
exterminated at a fast rate.

Right.

It's not surprising if one
of the large-scale guilds attacks us.

-Let's go.
-Let's check it out.

Everyone, let's go.

-Okay!
-Okay!

Hey, did the boss of all bosses come out?

No idea. I didn't hear anything about it.

Don't let anyone escape!

Wipe them out completely
and destroy the orb!

At this rate, it's pretty obvious
that Maple Tree will get a good result.

The orbs are decreasing steadily.

It seems their strategy is to give up

getting a higher score
so that other guilds can't score.

Won't that benefit the guilds
that are ahead of them?

If the current leader board is maintained,
then it's easier.

But honestly, this is ridiculous.

Looking at her, no wonder Payne lost.

Did she finally give up
on becoming an angel?

By the way,
that's already a boss, isn't it?

I'm pissed.

We actually lost
to that small guild again and again.

Besides, what the heck did Maple
transform into at the end?

That kind of existence itself is cheating!

That isn't cheating.

She probably got the skill
from somewhere through an event.

You're right, but...

We obviously lost.

But you don't seem to hate it, Payne.

It's nothing.

One day, I'll settle the score with her.

But we don't have to rush.

Our orb is still here.

It looks like
we'll certainly come out on top.

There's nothing to worry about.

Yes, you're right.

No, it wasn't a total defeat.

But...

Sure enough, I'm a little upset about it.

Master Payne.

I see.

I understand.

Thank you.

It seems something interesting
is happening again.

What's going on?

It seems a large-scale w*r is going on.

That side belongs to
the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor.

I wonder what's happening.

I see.

Maple, let's go to the Kingdom of
the Flame Emperor's base.

expl*sive Flame.

Everyone, stay in formation!

Go to Misery for healing
if you're wounded!

I expect nothing less from Mii.

Under such circumstances,

I can't believe she collected so many orbs
and salvaged the situation.

But the number of invaders
keeps on increasing because of that.

The number of our comrades
has been reduced to less than half.

Besides, there are others
trying to annihilate us

to raise their own placing.

If the number keeps on increasing...

Shin, I'm counting on you.

Got it.

Destructor!

No way. Give me a break.

That's impossible.

Mii, what happened?

The scout team reported

that a monster resembling Maple
is heading towards us.

Maple?

I lost to Kasumi previously too.

This is too much.

The number of enemies
who has surrounded us...

If Maple Tree joins in too...

It's a wipeout anyway.

Let's take as many people down
with us as possible.

Understood.

No matter where we are,
we'll always follow Master Mii.

Let them witness the power of Master Mii.

Leave the healing to me.

Since Mii already said so...

Okay, I'll do it.

All right, let's go.

Flare Accel.

expl*sive Flame!

I don't have much MP left.

Is this the end?

What's going on?

I don't know.

Anyway, Maple Tree is attacking
the enemy guilds.

Are they helping us?

Could this be an apology for last time?

Nobody can be so naive.

They must have some kind of scheme.

No matter what, this is our chance.

Let's fight back.

That was close.

I almost made a mistake
and k*lled Mii too.

We can't attack
the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor, right?

That's right, our goal is to annihilate
as many guilds as possible

that have gathered here.

We have no choice, but to help
the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor.

It's Payne and the others.

It seems their thinking
is the same as ours.

Kanade, get it done in one go.

It's that strategy, right?

Oboro, Shadow Clone!

Phantom World!

There are seven Maples.

What skill is this?

Although I'm thankful
that they helped us...

But what the heck is that?

What the heck is going on?

Every time I see her, she gets weirder.

Hey.

Didn't I already say so?

Her existence itself is cheating.

Let's train more.

I'll try to acquire new skills too.

It's only halfway through the third day.

But it already ended, didn't it?

Yes, there are only six guilds left.

Besides, all the guilds' points
will be in the top ten.

For this event, the top ten guilds
will receive the same reward.

It wasn't necessary
to increase their placing.

I can't believe the battle was so intense
that it ended with two days left.

So was it because Maple Tree
disrupted the battle?

After this, what we can do

is to edit the highlights
and make them into a video.

Although that's the case,
almost half of the clips are on Maple.

How I wish Maple
won't do anything out of ordinary.

What should we do?

Should we change
the settings again to nerf Maple?

I thought about it before.

But I think let's just leave her be.

The reason?

The current Maple
is the main player of this game.

The number of people playing this game
after watching Maple has increased.

To defeat Maple,

many players are trying to
obtain skills and level up too.

At this point in time,
even if we nerf Maple,

I don't think
that will please anyone, right?

Are you saying
that we shouldn't interfere after this?

Yes, let's just watch her silently.

If we don't focus on
finding ways to nerf her,

she's a pretty cute player.

Let's try to make a prediction.

The topic is what kind of weird stuff
Maple is doing now.

She's having fun at her base.

For example, playing board games
with everyone at the Guild Home.

Practicing flying using Machine God.

Entering the mouth of the large turtle.

Munching on weapons to test
whether she can get any new skills.

Why don't she munch on her turtle instead?

All right, I'm going to play it.
The correct answer is...

That's great.

Up you go.

It's over.

We're still in third place.

We reached our goal!

Yes!

Our placing is higher than I thought.

But at this rate,
when the next event starts,

we're going to be targeted
by even more people.

Let's worry when the time comes.

There's always a way.

I'm really glad
that you told me about this game.

It has changed my life.

Of course, I mean it in a good way.

But you need to study hard too.

If you're banned from playing,
we'll lose our guild master.

Right, I'm going to get called on
during English class tomorrow.

I need to revise.

Well then,

the celebration party
for the fourth event officially begins!

Maple Tree got third place honorably.

Everyone is rewarded
with five silver medals.

Besides, you also get a boost
of five percent to all your stats!

Well, that's pretty good.

But why are these guys here too?

That's what I wanted to ask.

When we were preparing
to go out for a hunt,

Maple suddenly came
and stopped us on our way

then brought us here.

It's rare to get invited.

Isn't it rude to refuse?

The same thing happened to us.

Besides, we're really curious to see
what kind of place Maple Tree is.

I've never been to other guilds.

I'm feeling a bit nervous.

Since the w*r has ended,
they are no longer our enemies.

Besides, we've added each other
as friends too.

Yes.

Since our master said so,
we don't have any objections.

Well, let me do this again.

Thanks for the hard work.

Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Roar!

I bring to you the compilation
of highlights from the fourth Event.

The first episode is
"Intense battle, Maple Tree's chapter."

FOURTH EVENT'S HIGHLIGHTS

This?

I totally embarrassed myself that night.

When I used Self-Destruct in the end,
I thought I could get revenge.

But you found the wrong opponent.

Maple, how much vitality do you have?

Well, I think it's around five digits.

That's impossible to deal with.

We got k*lled too.

We'll win next time

because we managed
to find out Maple's skills this time.

But because it's Maple,

she's going to have some kind
of strange evolution next time.

Once you take your eyes off her,

she's going to become
a furball or a monster.

I'm just having fun like ordinary people.

-How so?
-How so?

-GREAT JOB!
-I SAW THE VIDEO. IT WAS DOPE!

A PARTY WITH MAPLE, PAYNE, AND MII
SOUNDS LUXURIOUS.

IT'S BECAUSE OF MAPLE'S SKILLS
AND CHARACTERISTICS, RIGHT?

-YOU'LL GET USED TO IT OR GET INFECTED.
-OH, HER VITALITY EXCEEDED FIVE DIGITS.

THAT'S 100 TIMES MY STRENGTH.

SHE'S GOING TO GET ANOTHER FORM,
ISN'T SHE?

-I THINK SHE'S GOING TO EVOLVE TOO.
-I GUESS WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER.

-NO, I'M GOING TO CHEER FOR HER.
-ME TOO!
