Summary
Kasumi, Maple and Sally find a large snail beast and realize it has no HP bar. Sally gets Maple to get her armor off so she can be carried easier. As they debate options, a snail monster finds them, so the pair run off dragging Maple behind. They head to the lower levels and Sally debates on the path they go. They head down the right path and find a pair on earring perched on a crystal incasing a key. Kasumi notices the crystal has an HP bar and shatters it to get a key and the earrings.

The pair eventually find a hole high up but get surrounded by two snails. Kasumi gets Sally to use her leap skill. Sally does so and Kasumi uses one of her sword techniques that lets her gain height. This pulls the three of them into the high hole. They head to the door only for Maple to trigger a trap that causes the snails to follow them. The snails grab the key but the three of them work together to get the key back. The trio hurry back to the door and Maple covers Sally for her to open the door. They are relieved to get in as the binding chains fall off. Everyone opens a chest. Maple is given the shield while Kasumi is given the spear and wand. Everyone gets a scroll with Kasumi and Sally each getting a medal.

They warp into the desert night with the three of them feeling like good friends. They add each other to their own friends list and Kasumi leaves. Maple is sad but Sally says it's for the best. They head into a cave in the forest nearby and play with Syrup and Oboro before going to bed.

The next day, the pair wander through the woods and find themselves on a beach. Sally goes diving and finds a medal underwater. She finds a staircase going down leading to a door with something behind it. Sally returns to find Maple behind a sandcastle losing a game of Othello. The one who beat her introduces herself as Kanade, a low-level player. She asks Sally for a friend request as Sally mentions she found a shrine on the island. Kanade decides to explore it.

After a while she pops up out of the bushes saying that she died to a large squid. Sally and Maple are about to give up until Kanade mentions there's a medal there. Kanade shows off her staff and offers to say what it does if she's allowed into the party. Sally and Maple refuse and say their goodbyes. They walk down the beach and find some ruins with some high-level players inside. Sally goes in only wearing her scarf and boots to lure them into a false state of security. They buy it and try to PK her only for her to PK them.
