Summary
People are talking about the event and at the halfway mark the top three players are revealed. Maple is happy to be in third place and other competitors try to find their way around the shield. She ends up killing a bunch of them by spreading deadly poison and using paralyzing shout. At the end the top three players don't change. Maple ends up flubbing her award speech and hides at the Inn.

Chrome talks with his friends about how strong Maple is despite Chrome himself getting ninth place. Kaede hears from Risa that there's a second level opening up. As she enters the game, Maple thinks about getting another shield and asks Iz for help. Iz says she can make something for 100 K gold and white materials. Maple says that fish scales are her only option since she can't mine quartz with zero dexterity. She goes fishing in the cave and only gets one after twenty minutes. Kaede logs off for the day conflicted on how to handle it but goes right to bed.
