Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Time goes back a little.

Separated from the maples, Hu went to the central control area of Wade to sell the drop items he had acquired along the way. Accept assignments that can be accomplished on the Control Tower terminals and deliver drop items to receive rewards. Sell the surplus at the appropriate store within the baseline. Until now, it was no different than what I was doing with [Susano].

Hmmm, it would be a good price if it was the third zone after all.

The scallop fish and crusher crocodile that live in the [Armored Fish Falls] are hard-won opponents, but they're probably good. Fu walked lightly through the city, his face dashing to make more money than expected.

Maple and Momoji are in a rental workshop called Greenpeace in the workshop lot. I also got extra income, so I bought some Western confectionery as a souvenir of my visit to the new town.

Oh, this place might be great!

Fu caught sight of a nice shop with jeweled treats in the show window. The name of the store was Silky Heart.

She rings a modest doorbell and enters, going through the merchandise. All of them are a bit expensive, but it seems that they are not enough to pay with Hu's personal wallet.

“Excuse me, three of these, please.”

Got it!

Fu often bothered, then chose a puff of cream. Cream, custard and chocolate, one for each. They all look delicious, so I don't care who I am.

After calling out to the clerk, Hu realized that this was where the players operated. A girl dressed like a pastry chef standing at the counter wasn't an NPC.

This is the player's shop, isn't it?

"Yes! I've been doing a Western confectionery shop here ever since [Wade] was made." I'm playing the same band as the store name with my friend Leah. "

The clerk's girl gently talks as she pulls the shoe cream out of the showcase. According to the source, combat players are also in the band, selling Western confectionery made from jewelry that they collect.

"Wow, I'm looking forward to eating it now!"

"Fufu, they're all proud sweets." Your cheek is falling off. "

The girl said confidently and offered a white box containing three puffs of cream. When Hugh took it, the money was automatically paid out of his wallet. The advantage of virtual reality is that there is no hassle of bothering to open the wallet.

Thank you very much.

The girl dropped him off, and Hu went outside of [Silky Heart]. It was then. It was not until she found the maid who had fallen into the cobblestone.

"Uhhhhh!?"

Fu almost stepped on the maid who was lying under the show window of [Silky Heart]. With a strange twist on his body, I was careful not to drop the box containing the shoe cream.

"Who, who? Why are you lying here?!"

Fu is puzzled and for the time being keeps a box of Shoes Cream in his inventory. This game is powered by a high-performance physics engine the more you drop the box and the more you crush the shoe cream inside.

In her spare time, she looks down at the maid again.

Pale skin on long, loosely wavy blonde hair. From the looks of it, I wonder if he is about the same age as Hu. Female type - humanoid, wearing maid clothes with white frills.

Um, are you okay? Shall I call GM?

"Ahh..."

When I slapped my shoulder in bewilderment, a thin voice came back. There was no triangular marker overhead, and it turned out to be a player. I don't know everything else.

"Do you know the name of the player?"

"...... it was......"

For the time being, she looked quite debilitated.

It might be better to call the GM and have them force you to log out. Thinking like that, Huu's thin fingers touched the arm that called the call button.

”I'm hungry... I'm hungry...”

Huh?

"Woah, woah, woah..."

"Yeah..."

Leaving that aside, the girl collapsed. As soon as he realized it, he was gazed upon by the people walking around him, and Hu, who was in trouble, decided to call on his companions for the time being.

†

"Haha! Hahaha. Mummu." Gun! Mikumoku, Mugumugu. Gokkun! "

On the second floor of the woodworking shop, in Kunugi's room. There was a maid who rushed to eat a lot of food in a room with an additional table.

"I'll bake it for you." Eat more and more! "

"Mm-hmm. Thank you! It's so delicious!"

In response to Hu's words waving a Chinese pot in an apron and a triangle, the rejuvenated maid replied with a glowing eyes.

On the table, various Chinese dishes are arranged one after the other, including specially prepared fried rice, large dumplings, sashimi, and spring rolls. They were sucked into the maid's stomach bag from the side of the product.

But you can't stop me from going down in the game?

"I actually fell, so I can't help it." Thank you for bringing me here. "

Maple and Momiji, called by Hu, brought the girl to Greenpeace for the time being. It was a procedure that managed to convince a girl who could only make a sound like a bug, and formed a party.

Then, when Hu began to cook using the Chinese hot pot, the maid started to wake up and eat it suddenly.

"But don't eat too much." In the meantime, may I ask your name? "

The maple asked, tilting his neck to a maid who did not know his background. In his hand is a custard shoe cream, and his neighbor Momiji eats chocolate.

The maid finally started talking while lifting the plate with the green pepper flesh on it.

"Excuse me." I, Qing Li... "Oh, it was just the light here, wasn't it?"

Hikaru-san? It's a blonde hair, and it's an apparent name.

“Thank you, but in reality, it's black hair.”

Ufufu, Hikaru laughs with her mouth hidden by her hands.

It's the costume that the maid dresses, but the quality of the product that oozes from the tone and place of residence seems rather like a good lady.

(Speaking of which, the Kiyori Inn family is one of the world's most prestigious millionaire family names.... no, it doesn't matter)

Looking at the girl who continues to eat with pleasure, Maple shakes her head and disperses her thoughts. Even though such a super rich man is in the game, he can't have fallen on the side of the road.

Assuming such a family in the first place, there should be one or two valets.

Why did Hikaru fall?

"That's right. Where should I talk to you from....."

When asked by Momiji, the light pulls up his eyebrows like he was in trouble.

So I began to tell the story little by little.

"In fact, I started this game looking for a girl." I don't know where or what he's doing, but I've heard that he's playing with his friends in the coastal town ahead. ”

"... hmmm"

It's a story I've heard somewhere.

Maple and Hu unexpectedly closed their eyes, prompting them to continue their conversation for the time being.

"So, I wanted to aim for the town, but I learned that it was necessary to fight some strong protozoa." But I'm not very good at fighting. The Knights of the Great Eagle sent me to this town.

Haha, but isn't it going to cost you a lot of bits to < Wade >?

Listening to the light, Maple understood for a moment how she came here. In addition to its offensive activities, the Knights of the Great Eagle is also engaged in something like a mercenary industry. Sometimes, players who are incapable of fighting, such as producers, are escorted to their destination in exchange for gold.

It seems that she managed to earn bitcoins and hired them to come here.

"I've collected all the money I need to do my best!" With this, I can still defeat the native creatures. "

"Oh...?"

The light stretched out and took out the Heavenly Cloud Sword. When she holds it in both hands, the thin cylinder slowly changes shape.

Is it a two-handed shield?

You chose another unexpected weapon.

It was a large shield called a two-handed shield. Originally, shields were classified as armor, so they didn't use the Sky Cloud Sword, but they were classified as weapons. Hold them in both hands and use their weight to smash and crush them.

However, it was basically the same as a defensive shield, so it was used by specialized shields in group battles.

As long as you're here, you don't have to do anything else.

The shield of light is big enough to hide her whole body. The wooden frame is stretched with thick leather, and a number of thick thorns grow on the surface. It's a painful thing to look at.

Maybe you were just fighting at the counter?

“Yes, as long as you put this up and use the 'guard posture' and 'shield' techniques.”

As it looked, the shield was a counter-performing shield. If you put up a shield and use the technique, it will automatically damage the incoming native creatures.

However, the counter damage is considerably lower compared to a normal weapon attack. If you have a skill level that allows you to use light, it's about % of the damage you take.

"If the counter damage also falls below the decimal point, the minimum guaranteed damage is 1 damage..." I can't believe you've been doing that all this time? "

Unbelievable, ”Hu said, his eyes wide open. Even if it's a cockbeak, I don't know how long it will take to defeat it.

But you didn't quite understand how Fu was responding, so the light tilted its neck adorably.

How long did it take you to collect the Knights fee?

"That's right..." I think it took a month to buy this shield, and then about two months. "

"Oh......"

The number of days I was told to fly was such that all three of them were exaggerated.

If I had only fought normally, I would have reached [Mizuhanome]. Set up a shield, hunt for native creatures with only counter damage, and hire mercenaries with that money. It was a tremendous journey.

"So, you took me to the [Knights of the Great Eagle], but I ran out of money." Even if I wanted to make money outside, there were a lot of native creatures and they got hit right away... "

Well then, shouldn't we have gone back to Susano?

I thought so, but I got hungry and couldn't move anymore.

The light speaks with a sad face.

Although I reached [Wade], I spent a few days spawning and returning to death without money, and then hunger reached its limit. Even if the status fullness becomes zero, the movement is somewhat dull, and I can't move by force from time to time, but more than that, I feel depressed.

She was invited to walk by the sweet scent of Silky Heart and fell there.

Somehow, there are people like that.

Probably, the light is VR compliant. Instead of being able to move within virtual reality as it is in reality, the state of hunger becomes the same as reality. Even though he continues to eat more than the physical limit, he may be quite a healthy person in the original reality.

And the maple thought, and was convinced for a moment that the light was gone, and that it was fallen. There was one thing that bothered me.

"If you don't like that, I don't mind if you don't answer me..."

Maple cuts out the question in advance.

I was expecting it from the moment the light started talking.

"Who is the person that the light is looking for?"

"I don't know the details either." The only thing I know is her name.... "

The light softly falls down and opens its mouth.

"Lettie, do you say that properly?
