I have never done an escort quest where the NPC actually followed me obediently. Normally if you are too far away they start wandering around and attacking random crap that will kill them.
I saw that in anime as well and it was still weird as haybales and funny as well.
in anime maple has 3 special skills which allow her to change forms (loving sacrifice :A, atrocity :A, and machine god :A) and her original for the hydra set xD..
How does she get her skills, she is an airhead xD !

The reason for the Anime being different and ahead of this is because the Anime adapted the Light Novels and not this Manga (which is also adapting the LN's).
And before you ask, I've only been able to find the Web Novels online (you can find them over at Novel Updates)
an accompanying quest where the target is attached to the buttocks of the pg and you don't have to slow down or run like crazy to keep up with it... a pure blessing.
@Doodads : player can’t control the NPC’s move path. So even if they run very fast, there is still chance the NPC will bump on enemy on their path, and receive damage.
In normal case, it’s much safer for the player character to stay close to the Quest NPC and ward off all the enemies approaching.
Would be funny though if it’s high Agi build like Sally or Dread taking the quest, they run very fast, and the Quest NPC just crash through trees and other obstacles to catch up ^^;
