Where was Maple?
At the start of the episode, the Maple Tree Guild members were fighting a fox boss. Throughout the battle, the members were seen struggling to eliminate the boss, but when Kasumi unleashed her Bewitched Sword Purple skill, the twins easily one the fox boss. In this fight, you could notice that Maple is not with the group, and it turns out that she caught a cold and could not enter level 5 with her guild members. After getting well, Maple logged in and had no choice but to explore level 5 herself because Sally needed to log out for the day.
Oops! Wrong Boss!
To reach the Level 5 area, Maple needs to fight the level 4 boss. So after arriving at the location where she thought the boss would be, she tried solving the puzzle to enter the boss arena. Inside she saw the boss, whom she fights immediately after getting challenged. Maple was impressed by how powerful the boss was (and I also love this boss because he has the most personality compared to the previous ones they fought.) When Maple realized that none of her attacks was strong enough to beat the boss, she used her new skill, Break Core, to create an explosion, not only putting the boss down but also damaging the user. The boss congratulated her for winning and gave her food, but then Maple found out that this boss was not where the entrance to Level 5 was.
Disappointed, Maple sat below the big Sakura Tree at the entrance of Level 4. Frederica, Dred, and Drag saw her and mentioned that they were also on the way to fight the Level 4 boss to help the new players with them. Maple came along with the group and faced the fox boss. She bestowed Loving Sacrifice to the new players so they could attack the boss, but after seeing that they barely did some damage, Frederica encouraged Maple to also attack the fox. Maple tried her new Pandemonium skill that she got from the previous boss and summoned many demons that easily beat the fox boss. (Frederica and her friends were all surprised, but they expected less from Maple.)
Lightning Boss
Level 5 is like floating islands, but instead of buildings atop a piece of land, they are on top of clouds. When Maple arrived at the area, she encountered Yui and Mai, who had trouble fighting a Thunder Mask Boss. The twins showed Maple the way, and their guild leader helped them beat the boss by casting Loving Sacrifice on the two. Yui and Mai got a new skill that focuses on magic, so they would not be able to use it, while Maple got an ability called Throne of the Heavenly King that enables her to give AoE protection and healing. After the battle, the three of them explored level 5 together!
Onto Level 6!
As soon as Level 6 was announced and implemented, Maple Tree Guild fought the Level 5 boss, which looked like a massive jellyfish. They easily beat it with the help of Maple and proceeded to the Level 6 area, which was horror-themed that Sally despised. Sally swears to not set foot in Level 6, so she decides to grind new skills and level up in other areas. Maple supports her decision, but when Sally finds out that there is an accuracy-based skill and unique item in Level 6, she cannot help herself from logging in and joining her guild members in exploring.
Haunted Mansion
Maple was happy to accompany Sally to the location of the said item, and Sally could be seen panicking with how many spirits and creepy stuff resided on Level 6. When they arrived in front of the mansion (with the help of Syrup), Maple comforted and encouraged Sally, saying that everything would be fine as long as Sally was with Maple. Maple used her Machine God skill and broke the entrance door, so Sally could not back down anymore. They explored every room in the mansion with the occasional screaming of Sally because of random ghosts. But the two realized it would take them a long time to explore every room inside the mansion. But before the two could think of a new way to investigate more effectively, they were attacked by ghost hands in the hallway, which Maple obliterated.
Scaredy-Cat
As soon as the two were about to celebrate, they were separated by a teleportation circle. And now Sally was panicking because Maple was not with her anymore. Sally ran around the mansion while getting chased by different kinds of ghosts. With no choice, she hid inside a closet while waiting for Maple to find her. Maple heard Sally’s screams and searched for her friend in Atrocity form. When Maple found Sally, Sally was scared because of Atrocity and screamed. To protect Sally from the monsters, Maple used the Throne of the Heavenly King until other people showed up and got the attention of the ghosts, allowing them to escape (more like run to the exit.)
Outside the mansion, Sally and Maple were now allowed to log out (Because they were not able to do it inside the building.) Sally got a skill from staying there for a certain amount of time (but at what costs, Sally?) When she logged out, Sally was sweating so much, so she decided to take a bath. But she found out she was alone in their house and called Maple for comfort while taking a bath!
