Ah, coins! *The maid fires off one more shot, then starts gathering up as many coins as she can!*

And that's the first point to me. How many points do you want to play for, anyway?

And a good thing the maid started to gather the coins as quickly as she could, because by the time she gathered all the coins that had dropped, the timer reached 0 and she found herself back at level 2, with only a little more to go to level 3.
But just look at her money score! Those numbers were massive now! She might even be able to buy that overpriced weapon she couldn't normally afford at stage 5.


"Oh wow. That puck can really go fast, I really thought I had that one. Umm, maybe best of five?" Danaye sets herself ready for the next round. Playing was a lot tricker than she thought, but she was sure she'll get the hang of it eventually.

Yes, this is just what I needed! *The maid confidently continues on to the end of the stage, certain that this extra cash will be the boost she needs to finally clear the game.*

Five works for me. Anyway, the puck's on your side now. Go ahead and serve!

She just had to clean up a couple more units and blast open the gate to level 3!



Danaye blinks for a second. "Oh? Oh yeah! S-sorry~" She takes up the puck and places it on the field. Taking a deep breath. Trying something different now, instead of hitting it straightforward she hit it diagonally so it would bounce against the wall towards Penny's goal.

*The maid readily blasts her way past the last few enemies, then bursts through to the end of the level.* Time to buy some upgrades~!

It's all good. *Penny watches the puck's path and hits it away once it's close enough.* Nice try with the angle, Dan!

Exiting level2 and again able to purchase some goods. The massive Mega-NOPE-canon-xD4999 was still outside her price range, but she knew if she did well enough in the next few levels, she'll have enough for it! But that also meant, to save money, she couldn't upgrade her gear and weapons like she usually would, making the next few levels much harder.


It seemed that working in angles was more her alley, hitting the puck a few times back and increasing pressure on Penny's goal. Though Danaye still had to work on defending her own goal more properly.

Hmm, do I go for it, or no...? *The maid considers this for a moment, then decides to save up for now and moves onto the next stage without upgrading anything. She'll have to play extra carefully until she can afford that cannon...*

Looks like you're starting to get the hang of this... Oops. *The puck goes back and forth a few more times, before eventually slipping into Penny's goal.*

Well, she already did level 3 plenty of times already. Now the maid has to be confident in her skills and play out this level as close to perfect.
The level starts, the enemies moved a lot faster and took more shots to take down compared to the previous levels, but nothing the maid couldn't handle.


Danaye was more focused on hitting back the puck and then when it didn't return she noticed she scored. "Thanks.. --Oh? Wow! Wait I made a point?"

So far so good... *The maid pushes onward, eliminating as many enemies as she can to rack up points.*

You sure did. *Penny grins at Danaye.* That makes us tied now!

What was the most annoying about this level weren't the enemies, but jumping on these dangerous platforms and dodging or shooting down the obstacles. She hasn't made a mistake yet, but she has to be careful though!


"Hehe, I guess it does~ Umm, it is your time to serve then" Danaye sets herself ready again, trying to apply the same strategy that has been working for her.

*The platforming was certainly tricky... But the maid perseveres through it all, jumping, ducking, and dodging her way past everything the game throws at her as best she can.*

All right, here I come! *Penny sends the puck toward Danaye at an angle!*

And eventually, she reached the evaluator stage of level 3. The one taking her to the miniboss of the level. The tricky part of this stage was that she now was in a small room, with limited movement, while enemies will pop up around her and shoot from different directions. She has to shoot the enemies down as fast as possible, because the longer they stick around, the harder it gets to keep on dodging there.


Danaye chose to return the puck back through the same angle instead of trying hit it straight towards Penny's direction.

Ugh, this part... *The maid groans as she steps onto the elevator, ready for an annoying battle against way too many enemies in way too small a space... Joy.*

*Penny returns it again, this aiming it straight down the middle!*

The battle was as annoying as you remembered, if not more challenging now since she didn't have a good overall view of her surroundings inside the game compared to watching it on a screen; also now with worse gear, the enemies weren't as easy to take down instantly; overall resulting in the maid taking quite a few hits she normally shouldn't have had.
Finally, she could leave the small elevator and set herself up for the miniboss approaching.


Expecting the puck to come from the angle again, Danaye wasn't ready to block it in time when it went straight! Again just barely slipping past her striker, it entered her goal again... "Ah?! Oh, noo!", Danaye yelps out in surprise!

Hate... This stage... *The maid crawls out of the elevator and takes a moment to catch her breath before moving on to the miniboss.*

Heh, gotcha that time!
