A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

Oo, thee over there, thou who bearest the title of Fairy Seducer jya, would thee not waitst a moment?

In the middle of town I was called to stop with very, very old-fashioned words.

uuuum, am I the one who meets your expectations?

Theres probably no mistake its me, but responding like this is for something called forms sake.

Thats right, thee there jyayo for a while, does thee hast some time?

Its an old man player I think?

The character appearance is that of an experienced, silver-haired warrior with silver hair, long beard, and a moustache.

His equipment is heavy armor and a two-handed axe, huh?

Theres no need to worry about that. Is it some kind of consultation?

Recently thereve been a lot of these incidents; I guess it cant be helped, since this title glittering overhead stands out.

I have no choice but to bear with it during the event; just be patient a little longer.

It may be a consultation, as thee callst it. For a while, lets discuss this with thee in a place of fewer people jyaga.

Uumu, I guess theres a reason for it. Ill try going along with him.

Then, please lead the way to a place where we can talk.

It was probably about a 10 minute walk.

He led me to a house that didnt have many signs of people around.

Taking the pains to go this far I wonder what he wants to discuss.

He offered me a chair and with a At thy will, if thee wouldst, please sit, and so I obediently sat.

He also offered me something to drink, and then taking a breath he began his story.

To begin with, mine apologies for not being forthwith jyaga, but Grad, would thee hast met with the man calleth thus?

I dont have any memories of meeting him, and I dont know the name, so I reply by shaking my head left and right.

Is that so its been said that man was getting involved with those who beareth the title Fairy Seducer, so there was the thought that thee wouldst also have been involved jyaga.

Fuumu, here I pose a question.

Sorry, but can I ask a question? This Grad, how do you know him?

At that the old man in front of me nodded his head.

Oo, this wont do, to have forgotten to give mine name, this is a great discourtesy.

Mineself is called Silver, just a simple old man jyayo.

Silver-san huh theres absolutely no way hes just an old man na.

Both his weapon and armor alone are noticeably first-class equipment, and his roleplaying abilities are high with no hesitancy in his persona at all; its not just a little bit, hes a man who is far above myself.

If it wasnt for this title we would absolutely never have a chance to talk na, theres no mistake.

And now to respond to thy question jyagana. That man was one of mine party members jyayo; though his behavior was a bit problematic, it was by no means horrendous; a tank as thee couldst call it? As that implies, that man was the first in front with the abilities to protect everyone, purely a warrior who, no matter how one saw that man, was a man with more than enough strength jya.

Fumu, but this is all past tense

And then something or other happened that caused him to be separated from the party, huh

Right, when I muttered that, Silvers white eyebrows twitched slightly.

This discussion is moving along quickly. Its just as thee hast said, jyayo, that man becameth impudent jya.

You all are only able to fight because Im handling the front, were like that mans favorite words.

Certainly Mineself recognizes that mans abilities; its thanks to that man that the amount of battles we are able to fight are unusually large.

Jyaga, but that man cannot fight alone; that is what that man has yet to realize.

So saying he sadly let out a sigh, then gulped down his drink.

Certainly it wasnt anything like Mineself not supporting that man at all. Often while scolding that man jyaya, It is not like Mineself does not know thy strength, but jyagano, conceit does no good, Mineself will say but jyaga that man only sees it as the preaching of a fussy old man and doesnt listen deno, and that man will just say, Oi oi, youre just scolding me, havent you had enough?

I see, its kind of like Silver has taken him in hand and is treating him like a grandchild na.

Right now I totally understand how that situation can come about though Im too old to be his grandchild.

But despite the way things were, the party continued to stay together right? His behavior aside.

I try to ask; I have yet to understand why I was called out for a discussion.

Thats right jya, and the main part starts from here jyaga. This times event is involved with those cute children, the Fairies, isnt it jyarou? Of course Mineself as well immediately went to contract with one jyagano but you know, Grad was the only one who failed jyayo, to make a contract.

Mu, just like me huh even if the stats say that there were 219 people who failed, this is the first time Id directly heard of a(nother) failure dana. I probably just dont have good human relations.

Grad was furious; Why did I fail, when everyone else succeeded! he would roar loudly Naturally ourselves tried to encourage him while trying not to spoil the atmosphere jyaga, but it was counterproductive deno, and made Grad even angrier

You guys can only say it because you succeeded! and the like

And it was a mess

I havent met this man called Grad in person so I cant really make a judgment on his character, but with everyone around him succeeding, and hes the only one who cant use what they can, I guess I can see why hed get upset his behavior aside I can at least understand the reason.

I understand the reason, but I probably wouldnt lash out at everyone around me.

Now that I think about it

Silver-san, what about your spirit? I somehow get that you have one, but I cant see its form.

When I said that, Silver said, Oo, Mineself had it hide its form jyattano; its fine to come out. while his voice was still resounding, the Fairy softly revealed its form.

a Light Valkyrie!? This is the first time Ive seen such a clearly human-shaped Fairy!?

As thee canst see, this child is Mineselfs partner, Mineselfs Fairy jyawai. To avoid standing out too much, normally shes hidden jyayo. Its a kind of thing that bends light like an optical camouflage.

Looking like that, theyll certainly stand out if she isnt hidden; its obvious with that form.

I wonder if this isnt the Fairy with the highest ranking status.

no way.

This may be extremely impolite, but could it be that this girl, from the start ?

Because I sensed a connection I ask just to see.

Yes, Mineself was able to contract with such an amazing child right away jyayo. For Mineself to use words of comfort, he probably could only hear sarcasm

For Mineself especially it was truly a dire blunder jyatta.

With one breath Silver downed his drink.

Grad became aggressive against Mineself. It became impossible to talk with him jyagano.

Now its not possible. He murmured this sadly.

Silence settles in. Seeing her master worried, the Light Valkyrie softly touched Silvers shoulder.

Silver only replied, My apologies and then placed his hand on top of the hand the Light Valkyrie left on his shoulder.

As one might expect, this matter became too large jya and that man became too high-handed.

No matter how long thee have known each other, good manners are still necessary jya. After losing thy manners it is simply throwing a tantrum that man felt only he had been left behind, that it was only himself who was isolated without any blessings, and in the end he began to verbally abuse those who tried to call out to him. For this Grad who up til now had been able to remain in the party though Mineself did not wish for such an ending jyattaga, as the role of party leader was left to Mineself the responsibility was mine and so Mineself forcefully expelled Grad from the party

Right there he let out a huge sigh.

Grad left these final words, Youd better remember this! Ill make you regret it!

Ourselves were unable to do anything else. If Mineself had tried a little more, just a little more

If Mineself had handled it more skillfully it wouldnt have come to this.

After that, in the Second Half Grad he repeatedly PvPed like he had gone mad jya, and Mineself has heard the story that he is accompanied by a Dark Fairy clad in black flames like a fox spirit.

Uu-mu My uneasy feelings when I previously worried about what would happen if someone in party failed to contract a Fairy seems to have been realized.

Im not sure how much of Silvers story is factual, but it seems this Grad character has some faults too.

If Silvers story is correct, that is.

I understand your story, but as it is, the reason youve established this Grad guys character is?

Silver bowed his head in agreement.

Mineself still has responsibilities. Mineself has also been repeatedly participating in PvPs.

Mineself is trying to enter the last 16 people. Thee might understand if Mineself tried to avoid the connection Grad and Mineself have jyakarano, but you know, meeting like this to exchange blows and scold him is something Mineself cannot ignore. This is the role of an old man jyate.

And theres something else; that man, Grad has been unreasonable forcing PvPs on those who bear the title of Fairy Seducer he has decided to see them as his targets for revenge, perhaps.

Jyakara thats why Mineself has done all Mineself can do and gone about giving warnings jya of course if thee wants to fight what comes out of my mouth has no meaning, but if thee wishes to preserve the title that thou has had until now then thee wouldnt want to fight right jyarou?

Thats all, and Silver stood, to take his leave.

Jyakara, like Mineself has said, though Mineself doesnt know what that man would say, thee should not get too involved with him.

especially since thee is popular with Fairies. In order to get his revenge he will associate thee with them and try to call out to thee the revenge has no meaning what so ever, its simply pointless jyawai.

I see for now Ill take that advice and prepare myself.

Specifically coming to tell me in person instead of sending a mail means that its a warning that he wanted me to hear as soon as possible.

Its not good to just swallow the story as is, but I dont sense anything that tells me hes trying to trick me.

Im grateful for your warning, thank you for taking your time.

Is the reply I returned; for now I cant say anything other than this.

Then Mineself shall take mine leave. To thy good health.

With those parting words, Silver left together with his Light Valkyrie.

Oh boy, Id like it if nothing happened, naa.

Maa, I should be thankful that I even got a warning beforehand.

Anyway it looks like I wont be able to put it out of mind until the end of the event.

A/N: A lot of talk and no combat.

Its a plain story this time.

(PS)

This time, being clad in dark flames -> slave is not true;

Its just because its a Dark Fairy that its fire is blackish (sweatdrop).

On top of that its a youko fox spirit so its clad in fox fire, but because of its element its all black.

Its misleading isnt it, Im terribly sorry.

The descriptions arent sufficient.
