A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki

Author: Shiina Howahowa

A/n: For the most part Thief has largely support roles, but for those thieves, its something to take pride in.

[A? Whats the most important thing to being a Thief?

First of all, those guys who steal money and things from others arent thieves, theyre just scum.Maa, we dont allow those kinds of guys to exist in this guild, though.

Thieves contribute by plundering valuables from monsters, dismantling traps;maa, thats standard, but if thats all you got than youre second-rate.

The number one thing that you steal is the risks potential factors that will annihilate your party.

scouting for enemies, destroying the ranks of monsters or those guys whos fallen to scum with sneak attacks, saving the lives of your allies.

If course it aint flashy; the brawniness of the swordsman or the bang and glitz that accompanies the magic users attacks are only hindrances for us, so therefore there will be people who say were weak-ass guys; Ive been badmouthed pretty badly myself.

But you know, its fine that thats the norm; even if they say those things, its fine to laugh foolishly than yell back at them. The only times we should yell are when the party steps on something, theres a trap, or when were challenging an impossible fight and theres people dying from it.

If people are dying while their fighting monsters, thats not our problem; that just means they were weak.

But, death by a placed trap, being cornered into the dilemma of triggering the trap on a treasure chest, or the party being wiped out by a sneak attack, for a thief, is the most embarrassing occurrence; in order not to make that blunder, were practicing today as well.]

The teachings of a certain Thief Guilds Guild Master

There really are a lot of traps; Im asking you, place dont touch anything recklessly.

The number of traps that I have dismantled since we descended to the 4th floor has already surpassed 30.

Sorry for relying on you so much; to think wed get hit with such bad luck

Reiji said that;maa, this here is what the Thief should naturally do

Dont mind it, this is my job after all that over there is your show; straight ahead is 4 bones, about 2 ghosts.

Thiefs is doing good work as usual. The party members immediately prepared for battle.

Theres the possibility of suddenly being assaulted, but because this is a VRMMO, its not the easy situation where taking a hit while youre defenseless for 1 turn; your cooperation and formation can be destroyed, and for those clearly a class below, theres even been cases of being annihilated; its a very real-life like scene.

That said, if you can evade sneak attacks and avoid getting into impossible battles with higher level opponents, then you can more or less avoid being annihilated.

The Soldier Skeletons and Wights that came to assault us this time were turned to dust in a matter of minutes. I faced the Wights with the ability that clads things in an elements, using to pierce through and erase them; for the Soldier Skeletons, Ronas hand-to-hand attacks played a huge role in beating them up.

Of course with the Fairies joining in, they had enough firepower,aa, Zweis wolf Fairy is so cute,naa; when we leave the dungeon, Im going to cuddle it.

Are there no reinforcements?

Rona raised the question for verification, because if youre not this careful, its a given youll die right away

I confirmed that neither nor my own eyes register the existence of monsters, and so I said, Now its fine, all of a sudden, every party member let out a huge sigh. The stress of having an assault coming right in front of there eyes was pretty heavy; when its to the point where forget to let out your breath at times, its pretty hard on your nerves.

We somehow managed to finish that trap-heavy 4th floor and stepped onto the 5th floor that chill isnt here.

We shouldnt be careless, but it looks like it probably wont go as bad as the 4th floor.

I tell the party that. Our goal is one more floor below; I really hope to be spared the situation on the 4th floor where we were slowed down so much but even so, on this floor theres sometimes a Lesser Lich, so we cant be careless.s

It thats so, then lets proceed immediately; our goal is further on,desunoyo!

Eliza is making a fuss yet again.

This really is better; rather than having me do something thats so out of my department, have the Guild Master say it is way easier to calm things down the laughable matter of having the atmosphere in the party be broken down while still in the dungeon hasnt happened yet.

Even with that quarrel, we steadily and calmly proceeded towards the 5th floor.

The formation is me in front (for dismantling traps), Reiji and Zwei right behind, left to her own discretion on when to dash ahead is Rona protecting the center, and Eliza and Milly are the rearguards.

Milly took staff fighting, so since she can fight in close quarters to some degree, they didnt put a fighter in the rearguard.

Maa, if something comes from behind, the extremely fast brawler Rona can also turn around quickly.

Our footsteps are unpleasantly loud the enemies on the 5th floor are mostly the Wight types that float in the air, so it feels like I should be assuming that monsters that dont make footsteps are the majority.

Other than the Lesser Lich, I cant see these party members losing to anything, but I cant let my guard down Cautiously using , we proceed like that while on guard.

It was when we had opened the doors of several rooms, filling out the map.

The reactions of that were clearly heading here are 12. Thats quite a lot; this is kind of a bad situation.

Monster group, 12, and theres no doubt theyre coming this way, so lets ambush them in this room; this room doesnt have any traps, so it should be better than meeting them in the hall!

Our nerves tensed in an instant.

For the most part, a normal monster swarm is no more than 6; even if its a big group its around 8.

Even with that, this time the number is 12; this is quite a large force for a monster swarm.

Whats the monster group consist of?

Zweis voice is strained as he directs that question to me.

tch. This is bad, theres 8 Wights, and theres the strong guys, but there are also 4 Lesser Liches there!

As for why theres this kind of number of monsters gathered together, the party that came to this room shortly before had pulled a monster train; that party that had pulled the train has, right now, just a little previously, succeeded in running away to the stairs to the 6th floor; before that train had dissolved naturally, Earth and the others unluckily turned up.

On top of that, the monsters still havent been released from their combat state, so its a situation where their perception abilities can detect even further than normal; one by one the bad luck combined. Naturally, Earth and the others dont know about this reason at all.

So its more dangerous to run away, huh even so, 4 Lesser Liches is quite tough,na.

The one who answered me was the normally reckless Zwei, who is now stern-faced.

Its not just him; this situation is completely unexpected; it might have Lesser stuck in front of it, but its still a Lich; its a strong monster in a class by itself.

We just have to do it,ne;un, lets think about this as a good time to level our Skills.

Rona tried to overturn the bad feelings too late; if we overcome this, it will be more than enough Skill Leveling. That is also an undeniable truth.

I wonder how it will turn out ~, anyway, Im going to start chanting,ne~

In order to get the first strike in for whenever the monsters entered the room, Milly began chanting a Fire Magic aria; her way of speaking is laidback, but her movements are quick.

Its about 20 seconds until those guys enter; theyre the ghost types so theyre just going to slip through the door!

Ive been measuring the time, so I convey the time I expect them to draw near to the party. Furthermore, I used one more time to check the monsters.

Theres nothing other than the 12 presences drawing near here; if any more reinforcements came then it would be fatal, though this isnt much comfort; I prepare my bow.

Another 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, 1, shoot!

With an arrow, the Fire Magic , and the Light Magic meeting the ghost monsters that slid through the door, the battle began.
