A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki

A/n: I will refrain from forum stories for the present.

[Earth, its Zwei; do you have time right now~?

As Im making food for the street stall and medicine today as well, in the middle of it came Zweis Whisper Chat.

It kind of feels like its been a while; ever since the Challenge of the Dead began we havent had any conversations.

[Im in the middle of crafting, just about 5 more minutes, but is it an emergency?]

If its an urgent emergency, then hell have to try someone else. I have requests over here that I cant just run out on; Since its a given that no one would come over to a crafter who runs out on requests, I have to properly continue to give them what they need.

[It would take around 10 minutes to prepare on our side, so no problems,ze; weve been talking about going down about to the 6th floor of the Challenge from the Dead with a 6 man party to level someones Skills, but today Nora had some other things to do that ended up conflicting ]

I see, the Thief role is the dagger-wielding Noras responsibility; that sounds about right.

[And so thinking that I have Thief, you were hoping Id come but are you guys okay with healers?]

For some reason, Nora also specializes with the Water elements magic, which specializes in healing.

[The one new member we have coming can heal so no problem, and from your actions, it means you took Thief, right?

Good grief, hes seen right through me.

I dont remember ever telling him about it directly, but hes one of those guys who can tell what abilities someone has just by look, Zwei is.

If THAT just had a little of bit of charisma, than hed become someone great,na the heavens wont bestow two blessings on one person is something thats often said.

[Then tell be where to meet, Ill be there in about 10 minutes too.]

After confirming the meeting spot, I cut off the Whisper Chat with Zwei. Now I really have to concentrate on cooking.

And 10 minutes later, there were 5 people at the meeting spot.

Zwei, what happened to the new guy?

For appearance, I try asking; if its just running a little late its not like Ill get mad, but with her profession I know theres a lot of troublesome preparations, but Even so, its a fact that this is bad manners.

Sorry, even after I specifically had you come it should be just a little longer.

It looks like this is even out of Zweis expectations, so theres no point in voicing my complaints. Its not like this is a corporate meeting, so making everything tense has no meaning at all.

A-, Earth-kun, theres something we should tell you about the new girl.

Here Rona spoke up.

Umu, how should I say this shes the kind of person who can calmly say rude things originally we keep her grouped with people inside the Guild but today somehow we couldnt get plans to line up.

Reijis tone when speaking is also off; looks like another person with a strong personality has come

Got it; is it fine if I deal with her appropriately?

In response to that, Rona and Reiji said nothing and nodded. In their eyes is we are soooo so sorry written there. Right after

Hou, are you all lined up for MY entrance? I give you my praise.

Said a shrill voice; this voice is the voice of a brat, huh.

Idiot, youre late, and we even have people who arent guild members who came today for hunting; immediately apologize!

Oo, Zwei raising his voice in anger is pretty rare; so hes particular about this kind of thing.

Even if you say they arent guild members Milly-san is practically a guild member, right? And the other person what a weak looking bow user,desuwane, is he even going to be useful?

Aa, I see this is a person is hard to deal with.

Like an overdone cliche, she has blonde curls, 4 drill-like strands dangling; now if she was just wearing a dress, shed be the template ojousama.

After Rona and Reiji bowed their heads in apology to me over and over, she finally said her apologies. If it was just to this degree, she would still have been cute.

Whether Im useful or not should be proven in the dungeon. 1 action is better proof than 100 words, right?

So saying, its just a little, but I give a sly smile like a person with the sfx nya-tto would have. Doing this much is probably fine.

There are alot of men who are just all talk; arent you also one of them?

If shes going to go that far, then now Im just going to completely ignore her.

In the first place, shes acting arrogant for being late,naa, and even when her own party leader gave her a warning, even then shes going to be the type that wont change until she gets cut off. Since this is a party that Zwei started, shes basically stomping all over his reputation.

For crying out loud Earth, this is Eliza, full name Elizabeth, but its a pain to say so its Eliza. Her magic is good at least, and her Fairy is that Water seahorse over there.

The self introduction was done by Zwei; you have it tough toonaa huh? Why do I feel like crying? Weird. There shouldnt have been any sad conversations.1

At any rate, were just about to head off and Im worried.

We went at an agonizingly slow pace until Milly threateningly said, Enough! Do you plan on wasting mine and Earths time any further? and Zwei and Eliza were petrified; after that Eliza instantly became obedient; exactly what happened?

Previously Id heard that when Zwei made Milly mad she was terrifying; so Elizas also made her mad before.

M,maa, anyway, we were able to enter the dungeon, so yay. Its something I shouldnt think too deeply about so I wont bother; I have no intentions of purposefully stepping on the tigers tail.2

For now I should only think about aiming for the 6th floor; weve already entered the dungeon, so I need to concentrate.

If youre careful of the traps, floors 1~3 are levels that dont pose any problems; monsters themselves arent strong, and doors dont have any traps, comparatively; right now theyre easy levels.

Even the traps are only at the degree where theres terrifying ones mixed in once in a while; the previous time I came with the Heroes was really just random bad luckna

And different from previously, I have the 7 Tools for the traps; I only quickly dismantled the bare minimum necessary; Im really grateful for the toolsne.

It looks like youre only good for being used to dismantle trapsdesuwane; for battle youre useless, though.

Eliza flares up at me, but I ignore her.

In the first place shes just an idiot who cant dismantle traps herself, but,maa, fine, its best if I dont respond to her.

For the battles, Reiji, Rona, and Zwei blow them away one after another, so MP consumptions is under control.

Furthermore, Zwei and the others Fairies have also all evolved.

First of all, Zweis Fire Wolf Fairy has gotten 1 size bigger all around, and Millys Fairy was a Dirt-armored Gnome, but right now its clearly in the form of a girl clad in armor.

The effects from the Elder Prism Nova I shot previously havent completely gone away; I still cant recover any more than 80% of my maximum MP.

Because of that Im extremely grateful for the current situation where the people around me are strong and I dont have to rely on strong Arts to fight.

Hes the kind of guy whos handy in the right places o, found the stairs to the 4th floor,dazo.

I checked that there werent traps installed around the stairs and conveyed it to the party.

With Zwei going, Then, lets hurry and descend-, everyone continued.

And then while descending to the 4th floor it happened again; when I started to descend to the next level, chills ran through me again, huh, now is it a monster house or an instant death trap, or is it both?

Warning everyone, this level has dangerous traps and monster houses, so I would like you to not carelessly open doors.

When I dove in with the Heroes, this chill running through me meant there were traps and monster houses, so that there are dangerous factors isnt wrong.

We just entered, what on earth are you saying? Even if cowardice has- Shut up! Do you want to kill the party?3

Im speaking from convictions based on previous experiences; if its just you by yourself going to get yourself killed then I wont say anything, but if youre going to get the rest of the party wrapped up in it, thats a different story. Therefore I have to say it forcefully here.

Earth, is that true?

Reiji directed that question at me; good timing, Im grateful.

Theres no mistake; when I dove before, when there was dangerous things I sensed chills, and at that time there was both a monster house and an instant death trap together.

At that, the party members went silent. The 4th level has already become famous amongst players for producing many deaths. That probably has an impact too, I bet.

Anyway, from now on, if we need any doors opened, Ill do it. the doors themselves might have traps, see.

The work for the Thief gets real from here on. I tighten the strings of my heart once again and took the last step of the stairs and onto the 4th level.
