Chapter 98
Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki
As business in this time of recession continues to decline, there was absolutely no important requests entering the Himawari Pavilion. I continued to wait on tables, lend a hand to fairies in town who asked for it, and perform manual labor, the so-called grunt work as adventurers call it. No, you could say that its just because I play solo, so I cant take very dangerous work since I dont have a party. So far, Ive seen many number players in parties that have left town with requests in hand.
Come to think of it, its something I heard from other players, but this times tournament seems to have been won by the party led by Silver. Grad has experienced another bitter situation, na.
In any case, this lifestyle of doing part-time work continued for several days. This has its own interesting parts to it, but as expected, Im not a beginning adventurer, and although it makes some money, its also true that its getting boring. It was the day when I thought that it was time to journey to another town. When that girl came by.
At that time, that girl, with a cloak that covered all the way to her face fluttering against her body, came by. And, when she looked over here, *susususu*she came close.
Maam, the bar in this store isnt open for business yet, but who might you be?
Just in case, I decide to let the situation play out without saying anything blunt. The part where she even hid her face made me extremely cautious, though unconsciously so.
You are an adventurer right?
She talked to me in a whispering tone at a volume only I could hear. From the voice shes quite young, but thanks to the fairies, Ive given up trying to tell their ages by voice.
Its my occupation, yes.
If its that, then I dont mind telling her. Thinking like that, I obediently answer her. But, as soon as she heard that, she suddenly grabbed the sleeve of my clothes and pulled.
O,oi! Just what do you want?
Silently being tugged on is something I cant put up with. I had just yelled out when the Hiwarai Pavilions mistress come out from the shops back.
What is the commotion? Its too early to be drunk!
When the mistress said that and came out, she saw me, whose sleeve was being pulled.
What is this?
The mistress said, but
I dont get it either; come on, stop pulling!
Was all I could respond with. When that happened, the girl clad in the cloak let go, took out a small piece of paper, and for some reason began to write letters.
Request. If its that its fine, right
And, with that little bit of disconnected talking, she handed over the piece of paper to the mistress. The mistress, after looking at that paper, then handed it over to me.
Nominated request; I want to see this person fight; I want to eat food; reward; 3000 Glo.
Come to think of it, on the wiki it said that if your name is particularly well known you could get nominated requests, but is this one of then? The reward is cheap, but, maa, I guess its fine; lets move my body thats gotten dull (from just doing part-time jobs).
Got it, Ill take this request. Youll consent to that, right?
Thats right; when the girl wearing the cloak and hiding her face heard it, she nodded just once.
Mistress, today isnt a busy day, so is it okay to skip out?
The mistress said scolded me, Come on now, hurry and get going!
Right then, to confirm, this request will be completed if I take down 2 of the High Rabbits in this area, as well as the lured in Thief Birds, by myself, make their meat into food, and treat you to a meal?
When I confirmed one last time, the girl nodded.
Un there is nothing incorrect I will watch from hereto not get in the way
Somehow, maa, its a girl whos not quite all there, but as long as shes able to confirm the contents of the request, its all fine With bow in hand, for the first time in a while, I look for High Rabbits. I immediately find one, so I enter a clump of grass.
Its been a while, so just to be safe
With
I looked for about 30 seconds maybe, and since I found another, once again I sniped it with
Pi-rorororo-!
And a Thief Bird took its chance, dive-bombing over. But Ive already understood that this setup would happen, so theres absolutely no threat. At the point in its descent where its movements slow, with
Anyway, hunting is like this, though I dont know if I met your expectations.
Towards I, who said this, Enough is what she responded with, so it seems, maa, shes more or less satisfied with the hunt.
Next is cooking, huh well, before that let me confirm; are you okay with me making meat dishes? If I take the time to make it but you cant eat it because of religious beliefs or whatever, it would be impolite to the ingredients that were cooked but are unable to be eaten.
That kind of restrictions are quite burdensome, and there are surprisingly few people (who have those restrictions) who dont worry about it when taking their meals. Thats why I bothered asking, but
Its fine rather, throwing hunted prey away without eating it, its disrespectful to its life for us, that is taboo
Is her situation, so I can begin cooking with peace of mind. The menu is the rabbit and fowl combination hamburger steak I made before; this time the meat ratio is 6.5 rabbit to 3.5 bird. When I made it previously I was somewhat dissatisfied with the balance, so Ive increased the ratio of fowl a little. And then, with leftover part I prepare the previously made grilled chicken skewers again.
I was doing the cooking outside of the town, but thanks to that the gazes of the gatekeepers who were lured in with the smell of cooking kind of hurt. That said, if I did it in the middle of town, that would be stand out in other ways, so this time I did it outside. When they were done grilling, I put them on a plate and put sauce and spread herbs on them. Putting water next to it, it was completed.
Its like this, I guess rabbit and fowl hamburger steak, and grilled chicken skewers with rido sandwiched in between.
The moment I had conveyed it to the girl, she, quickly grasping fork and knife, began wolfing it down. No, her manner of eating was polite, so there was no vulgerness; theres none, but in the blink of an eye the food that was made had largely disappeared into her stomach. I only got to eat one yakitori sniff.
Satisfied.
Her one word was said like that, and the girl gave a sigh. Well yeah, if you ate like THAT of course youd be satisfied. Even though that was about 3 peoples worth of food, it was pretty much destroyed by 1 person. And, that girl stared over at me.
I dont really get it, but I get it. You are interesting.
Whats with that. I was going to try asking her the meaning behind those words, but she brought out a bag for me.
Reward. I put a little extra.
Opening the bag and counting it, there was 4000 Glo. Maa, Im not going to complain about their being extra.
Time. Lets meet again
So saying, the girl left for the town. In the end she hadnt removed her cloak once; shes a really weird one. When I had thought that, she turned back towards me.
I forgot just one more day be at this town the extra reward is for that
Leaving that behind, this time she really left. Its a request I completely dont understand, but its likely some kind of event? After that I returned to Himawari Pavilian, helped with waiting tables, and logged out. Leaving this town is postponed for a day, na.
