Chapter 5 - End Of Launch Day
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After that, we returned to the entrance of the place we initially departed from 「Altrowa Village」.
…Oh, there are more people than before.
It’s the game’s launch day after all.
Seems like we won’t have to worry about the game service ending because of low population.
Since we weren’t dissatisfied with our jobs, we decided to go ahead with knight and Shinto priest.
After we reached level 10 in the field an option appeared at the same time, right after that, the beginner gear disappeared in front of our eyes.
Farewell, wooden stick, wooden branch, potions, holy water….
Once we reached the plaza, Yumir started to stretch.
「We are done! Just fighting mobs is not bad, but I want to fight a boss! There’s not enough excitement!」
「The Homa plains are vast, shouldn’t there be something further on? The monsters in all directions were trash monsters but their levels were high after all」
「I see, I look forward to that!」
Apart from the goblins in the plains, there were horned rabbits called 「 Al-Miraj 」.
Since the 「 Al-Miraj 」 was a monster that focused on speed and offense, if you were not careful, it was a dangerous monster that could take your HP in one go.
However, their HP was pretty low, so if you preemptively attacked them they were easy to beat, making them a good source of experience.
Their weak point was the base of their horn.
When it comes to goblins, their weakness is the base of their neck, seems like they have set the weak areas to be extremely small.
「However, is it really OK to leave all the items and gold to me? Yumir, what are you going to do about healing items?」
You could call it leaving it to others or not being greedy.
Does she not want to go look through stores herself?
The answer Yumir gave me, seems to have been based on her own weaknesses.
「I’m basically not going to play with anyone other than you so there should be no problems. Besides, you see…you know that if I had the money, I would just spend it, right?」
「Well yeah…for some reason, uncle Akifumi leaves your allowance in my hands. You normally wouldn’t hear something like that」
Even if we are childhood friends, I’m the child of another family, you know?
What does he regard me as…I want to ask him, but somehow I’m scared of it.
Even the cost of this VR gear, I believe Miyu asked him directly for the money.
This girl’s family is pretty wealthy, so even if Miyu doesn’t have a part-time job, her allowance is pretty big.
「That being the case, please take care of it even inside the game!」
「Using the in-game money as practice, don’t you have any intention of fixing the way you waste money?」
「No!」
「Why!?」
In the end, I was forced to look after all the drops and gold.
When it comes to item trading, there doesn’t seem to be able issues as long as both parties agree to it.
From what Yumir said, it seems the inventory is like an item box and it’s not possible to go through it, so there’s no way to use the trade feature to forcibly take items against another player’s will.
However, because I took all sort of things, my inventory is full…
The next time I log in, I should sort the items.
After that I should prepare weapons for us…oh, there was something I wanted to ask her.
「So, Yumir. Once I have some free time I plan to make our weapons, if you have any requests just tell me. I still don’t know what I can make, so just give me an idea for now」
「Oh, so you are taking up crafting as expected. Let’s see…a drill, maybe?」
「…What?」
Yumir easily left me unable to think.
…
…!?
「No no! I wanted to know if you prefer a sword or a spear, you are a knight after all! What do you even mean by drill!」
「It has a nice ring to it, right? Think about it, drills make you think that they are another type of spea-」
「They don’t! You’ve already chosen to be a knight, what are you even talking about!? Rejected, rejected!」
When she heard my words, Yumir made a displeased face.
I don’t get it.
Isn’t that the expression I should be making?
「In that case…dual guns」
「Middle ages! This game a middle ages fantasy game!」
「Iron fan!」
「Can you just stop already!」
「Kusarigama！」
「They are shady weapons, both of them! If you are a knight, fight fair and square!」
「Ball-」
「If you say ballistic knife, I’m going to hit you!」
「…」
As one would expect, after Yumir saw me readying my fist, she proceeded to shut up.
By the way, the thing called a ballistic knife is a knife with a powerful spring built in, making it able to shoot a blade.
It goes without saying that…that’s not a weapon a knight would use.
「A, a normal sword is fine…」
「Just say that from the beginning! I’ll just make a normal one, I’ll leave the more detailed ones for the second onward」
「Umu. Actually, I don’t really have a clear image for it yet. I might be able to think of it after using the sword for a bit more」
In that case, what was all that pointless conversation we just had…
For the record, if you use a weapon that’s not suited for your class you will get a penalty, making them basically trash.
Once I equipped Yumir’s stick, its attack was reduced to 1 point, so there’s no doubt about it.
In the status window, you can see that knights fundamentally use swords or spears and Shinto priests use maces or staves.
「So, this is everything for today, right? Hind」
「Right. You are going to eat dinner too, right?」
「It’s going to be a feast!」
「That makes it five portions then. Let’s logout」
「Umu! …five?」
I opened the menu and pressed the log out option.
The digital body started to disintegrate from my feet upwards.
When I came to, the real word spread in front of my eyes.
I can’t see anything because I have the gear on me though…in front of me, a message that said that the connection was terminated appeared.
Is it OK if I take it off…? Oh, the window disappeared.
When I removed the VR gear, the setting sun was illuminating the room and I unconsciously frowned.
With a similar face to mine, Miyu raised the upper part of her body and started to look around.
「Nuu…my body hurts…」
「We played continuously without taking a break after all…」
The part about a portion of your brain being isolated seems to be true, I had not moved at all from where I was when we started playing.
It just that my body was feeling very stiff, from now on, we should probably take proper breaks.
I get the feeling that we have overdone it this time.
「Hey, Wataru. Why did you say five portions?」
「Well, go and bring uncle Akifumi. After all, you probably ate some pre-made food for lunc-」
「I didn’t!」
「Don’t be like that. I was able to get the VR gear thanks to him, so I want to thank him. Go back for now and if it looks like he doesn’t mind, bring him here」
「For people like us that always eat instant food, there’s no way that we would refuse!」
「Don’t try to act proud. How about you learn how to cook and start making your own meals…」
「That would mean I wouldn’t be able to eat your food anymore, so no! If I learned, you would definitely tell me to cook it myself, right!?」
Well…she might be right in that regard.
My family might not have a father, but in her case, she doesn’t have a mother.
Both of our families have known each other for a while, but my father died from illness.
In her case it was divorce, both of us had been unfortunate since junior high school.
Since then, the times we have eaten together has increased but…
「Anyway, it’s fine if I call him, right!? I’m going!」
「Ah, wait! If you stand up so suddenly-」
「Nuoh!」
「!!!」
As a result of not heeding my warning, while raising a feminine scream, Miyu slipped with the towel and fell down.
Since I had bad reflexes, I tried to hold out my arms to catch Miyu but…I wasn’t able to stand firm, so while carrying Miyu in my arms I fell backward and my back hit the floor hard.
Furthermore, the air in my lungs was let out because of the shock and I was in a state of lack of oxygen.
C-can’t breathe…
「…」
「…W-Wataru…?」
「…」
「H-he’s dead…!」
I’m not! Is what I wanted to shout but my voice didn’t come out.
Miyu proceeded to poke my torso.
Where are you touching! There are other things you should be doing, right? At times like this!
Because my lungs were blocked, being unable to breath, I couldn’t move for 10 full seconds…
「…Gah! hah, hah…」
「Wataru! Are you OK!? Hang in there!」
「W-what are you doing, you idiot! I couldn’t breath and I thought I was going to die! An odd sound came from my throat, you know!?」
「S-sorry! It wasn’t on purpose!」
「Of course it wasn’t! Just go and bring him here already!」
「Forgive me!」
While shouting her apology, Miyu left the room in a panic.
After seeing that, I fell to my knees again in the room where silence had returned.
「Ugu….」
Because I had shouted while I was lacking oxygen, I was feeling dizzy…
I’m glad that Miyu didn’t get injured, but instead, I was in a pretty bad mood.
