VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

Chapter 134: Rumors regarding the new event and announcement

Hi

0 progress was made yesterday hence the delay. Haven’t started working on the so releases might go a bit slower.

Anyway, time for the beginning of the new event and the return of certain characters.

Enjoy.

「So, like that, our family got kidnapped yesterday. Ah, the food was delicious though.」(Hind)

「To think that Hind-dono was really kidnapped. And to think that Riizu-chan was kidnapped too that fast…」(Tobi)

「Hah. In my case, being pulled around by someone like that…I was really displeased because she looked exactly the same as a certain someone.

Even though dinner was delicious, this is an entirely different matter.」(Riizu)

「Ah? When you say that she looked exactly the same as a certain someone you meant me?」(Yumir)

「…Is there someone else?」(Riizu)

Riizu and Yumir glared at each other while arguing like always.

I placed my hands on both of their faces to separate them and stayed in the middle.

「Calm down.」(Hind)

「Nuguh…that being said, why didn’t you bring me along, Hind!? Even though something that exciting happened!」(Yumir)

「I originally was only meeting Walter. Yumir, you haven’t really talked much with Walter right?」(Hind)

「That’s true but! Nugugu…」(Yumir)

We were telling them the necessary information.

While doing some farm work inside TB, Riizu and I told them a general outline of what had happened yesterday.

The reason we were having this conversation was because they asked us why we didn’t log in yesterday.

Because it was really far away, it was really late by the time we got home.

I sent a short message to the guild members saying we wouldn’t be able to log in that day and went to bed early because I was really tired.

「Anyway, I understand what happened. So, why is that idiot sprawled on top of the soil?」(Yumir)

「Ah, yeah. I know why but in order to preserve his dignity I won’t say anything…just leave him be.」(Hind)

「I don’t really get it but I got it. I won’t ask.」(Yumir)

「He’s…depressed right? Tobi-kun seems like he’s in low spirits…」(Selene)

Yumir was pointing at a space between the fields, Tobi was rolling around the ground over there.

I tried to give an ambiguous answer.

I can’t say it…I can’t say that Tobi has ended up like that after seeing a picture of Walter, or rather, Tsukasa in casual clothes.

During the day, Shuuhei asked me about what happened yesterday during a break.

After telling him about the handmade silver accessory, I remembered that I took a picture with Tsukasa.

Like a girl, Tsukasa said that we should take one as a commemoration of that day, so we took a photo with each one of our phones.

Once he heard that, Shuuhei took a step back as I pulled out my phone.

「Scary! B-But, my curiosity…this feeling of wanting to look at something frightening…」(Shuuhei)

「A-Are you OK!? You haven’t recovered from that trauma right? If it seems impossible, don’t force yourself.」(Wataru)

「I-I’ll look! If it’s the current me it’ll be fine…it’ll be fine…!! This is surely I trial I must surpass!」(Shuuhei)

While murmuring that Shuuhei looked at the photo, when I thought he would open his eyes in surprise…

While holding my phone tightly, he started to cry.

By the way, this is something that happened while we were in the classroom, but it was kinda sad how the other classmates just thought 「He’s doing something dumb again」 when they saw him cry.

Saitou-san, who was in charge of erasing the blackboard, was the only one that looked at me and asked 「What happened?」, I only smiled wryly in reply.

With only that, she nodded as if she understood and went back to work.

「Why does this have to be a guy…why is he even cuter than in-game…why is he cute even in casual clothes…?」(Shuuhei)

Throwing three 「Why」s in rapid succession, Shuuhei sent that picture to his own phone without my permission, probably because it would be problematic if he opened it, he moved it to a folder and locked it.

Seems like his mind is in chaos, he was acting weird.

Maybe he wanted to look at it over and over on his own device, or maybe he didn’t want to look at it ever again…

「Wacchi…I, I will definitely find a girl as cute as this one…」(Shuuhei)

「I-I see, good luc-…should I be even say that?」(Wataru)

I got the feeling that what he was saying was odd but his mental agony was clearly transmitted to me.

Due to this situation, Tobi spent the entire day in a state that looked as if his soul had left his body.

Leaving Tobi, who was sprawled on the ground heartbroken, we kept planting the medicinal herbs and nutritional plants that had heat resistance in the field.

We especially used a lot of these two types of plants while compounding so we gave them preference and planted a lot of them.

While we were doing that, Selene-san stopped her hands, looked up and faced me.

「…Oh, that’s right. I don’t really know what happened but before I logged in, I got some information that might make Tobi-kun happy.」(Selene)

「Oh, really? In that case, Selene-san, please go ahead and tell us.」(Hind)

Maybe because he heard us, Tobi’s body seemed to twitch while being sprawled on the ground.

While clapping her hands to get rid of the soil, Selene-san continued to talk.

「If I remember correctly, Tobi-kun liked Maou-chan right? There’s rumors that Maou-chan will appear again in the next event and-」(Selene)

「Uuuuuuohhhhhhhhh!! Maaaaaoooooouuuu-chan!!」(Tobi)

「Gross!! What’s with those movements!?」(Yumir)

The moment he heard Selene-san’s words, Tobi stood up with unnatural movements as if he was a spring.

His face was still all black filled with soil.

Seeing him act like that, Yumir took some distance away from him.

I don’t really care but those kinds of movements would hurt your body…though it’s fine since we are in-game.

「Selene-dono! Details! Give me more details!」(Tobi)

「Ah, y-yes. You see, usually we would have an announcement in the morning telling us what kind of event it would be but there was nothing right? So people are thinking that it might be like the first event and they are going to suddenly announce it in-game-」(Selene)

「Uoooooooooo!! Are you serious!? For real!? I’m getting motivated!!」(Tobi)

「However, these are just rumors…but he’s not listening anymore…」(Selene)

Selene-san’s words were drowned by Tobi’s roar.

However, if we consider the order of events, I guess it wouldn’t be weird for the next one to be something related to monsters.

If they are going to announce it at the same time as last time, it should be appearing about now-

『Shortly, we’ll announce the combined type raid event. To the players logged in currently, it’ll be possible to enjoy the special event we have prepared if you go to a place where you can see the sky and wait.』

「It’s hereeeeeeeeeee!!! It’s here!! If these words are appearing, there’s no doubt that it’ll be Maou-chan!」(Tobi)

With great timing, letters started to flow from the ground.

Like Tobi said, if they told us to look at the sky there’s pretty much no doubt that it’s going to be that.

「Ah, I guess it’s fine if we just stay here in the agriculture section. If they mentioned a raid, that’s where you gather a party of more players than usual and fight a gigantic boss monster right? Yumir.」(Hind)

「Umu, you are not wrong there. I don’t know what’s the party limit in TB, but in games there are times when over a hundred players fight together.」(Yumir)

「A hundred players against a gigantic boss? The image of ants swarming against an elephant comes to my mind…」(Riizu)

Since it was the first online game for me and Riizu, we couldn’t really imagine how something like that would be.

How are we going to split the rewards? How are we going to manage healing and buffing?

「Furthermore, there’s that whole combined part that picked my interest. What does that even mean?」(Hind)

「Something apart from the raid…it probably means that there will be something apart from the raid itself. With only this much information, I guess we won’t know until we hear the details.」(Riizu)

「You are right. Well, guess we’ll just wait obediently and wait for the developers to explain.」(Hind)

「I’m going to do it!! I’ll work the amount I slacked off!!」(Tobi)

「Umu, work hard, ninja.」(Yumir)

「In that case, go and use your clone and work on it, ninja.」(Hind)

「For some reason, you guys are being harsh!? Ugh, in that case, leave the rest to me!! I’ll do it!!」(Tobi)

Including Tobi, who had finally cheered up, we planted the seeds before the event was announced.

In the meantime, something was being projected in the sky…

「Ah.」

「Ooh!!」

「Ooh..oh?」

Eventually the image stabilized and a single person was projected in the sky.

An extreme close up on a slit-eyed man, Maou-chan’s attendant, Samael.

「…」

At that moment, Tobi started silently throwing stones at Samael.
