VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

Chapter 29: Outcome of the aura and going our own way

So here you go, the start of the 2nd arc in the series.

For those that don’t read Bu ni Mi, I made an announcement a couple days back in regards to the future of this blog so take a look at it if you want, it should be the top post in the blog.

As for the nickname Sai in the chapter, while I know the full name is Cineraria…Ci-chan just didn’t sound right and I just literally put the pronunciation as a nickname.

Don’t really have much to say other than…I’ll try release as much as I can.

Enjoy the chapter.

「You start by opening the menu first, OK?」 (Yumir)

「I see, then?」 (Tobi)

「Then you send this idea like buwah…and it appears like pon in your equipment section. When you want to unequip it you go fuwah…」 (Yumir)

「???」 (Tobi)

Friday, 8:30 pm, somewhere in 「Heathrow village」 inside TB.

When Tobi asked what happened with the reward from the event, the situation became like this.

Since I didn’t have my part-time job today, Yumir, me then Tobi logged earlier than usual in that order.

Since we found out everything about the event reward 「Hero’s soul」 while Tobi wasn’t here, we ended up telling him like this.

Since Yumir’s explanation was made up of intuitive movements and sound effects, Tobi furrowed his eyebrows.

「H-Hind-dono…help」 (Tobi)

「Basically she means this. The aura doesn’t have any substance. So, you open the equipment menu and think…I want the aura! Then, after wishing for it you become able to equip it」 (Hind)

「Oh, ooohhhh….!」 (Tobi)

With my words, Tobi finally seemed to understand it.

「Unleashing the aura works the same way, you know? You get motivated! Then it comes out like kyun! Then if you put even more fighting spirit into it, it goes baribari and-」 (Yumir)

「Seems like it’s making practical use of the system that reads your emotional brain waves in the VR gear. Something like the consciousness of the player, the point is…the more you get into it during battle, the flashier the effect is. This accessory sure is packed with a high level of technology. It doesn’t change that it’s useless as a piece of gear though」 (Hind)

「Oh, it sure is amazing…」 (Tobi)

「Right!?」 (Yumir)

「Hind-dono’s super translation that is」 (Tobi)

「Ridiculous! Why don’t you get the wonderfulness of this accessory!?」 (Yumir)

「Your reaction is what surprises me! It would be weirder if I understood it!」 (Tobi)

Well, it’s probably not surprising that he doesn’t get her since he hasn’t known her for as long as I have.

We met Tobi during middle school after all.

「By the way, Hind. What about your sister? Isn’t she quite late today?」 (Yumir)

「Ah, she has the national tests on Sunday. She said she wouldn’t log in until that’s over」 (Hind)

I believe she should be in her room studying right now.

Should I bring her some cocoa later?

「Fuun. Even though she’s already first nationwide, why is she even studying more at this point?」 (Yumir)

「From the point of view of someone that barely manages to not get a failing mark, she’s like a divine being. By the way, does Riizu-dono have any objectives? Like going to a famous school?」 (Tobi)

「Don’t know, I’m not sure. It’s just that, she did say something about wanting to get a job that could support me in the future at least…

When I heard that, I didn’t know if I should have felt happy, sad or if she didn’t think she could rely on me」 (Hind)

I’m saving up my part-time job earnings so I can pay for Rise’s university tuition fees though…

Just for the record, this is a secret between me and mom.

It’s just that, the person herself is trying to get a scholarship with her achievements, or at least I think that’s the scenario she’s hoping for.

However, me and mom are hoping she relied a bit more on us.

While I was thinking that, the 2 people in front of me had quite the complex expression on them.

What’s wrong?

「Wataru, be careful. No, rather…It’ll be me who’s going to be careful. I’ll definitely keep you safe!」 (Yumir)

「Wacchi, be careful to not get confined somewhere…

I’m getting a bit scared of Rise-chan. She’s either extremely earnest or very persistent…」 (Tobi)

「What are you guys talking about?」 (Hind)

What are you thinking someone else’s sister is?

She might be scary sometimes and play pranks but she’s fundamentally a gentle girl, OK?

「E-Excuse me!」

「Oh?」

While we were chatting, a girl that looked like a middle schooler talked to us.

From her line of sight, she probably wanted to talk to Yumir.

「Me? Hind, how should I reply in this case? Why are you talking to us? —is it OK if I ask her like that?」 (Yumir)

「Just listen to her like normal…you’ll come off as a shameless person, you know? If you speak like that」 (Hind)

「I see. What business do you have with me, young girl!」 (Yumir)

「Hii」

Without any real bad intentions, Yumir assaulted the female player with her loud voice!

As a result, the girl shrunk.

「Don’t be like that. Just talk to her normally」 (Hind)

「Even if you talked like I am, they’d be able to hear just fine you know?」 (Tobi)

「I don’t know what you are trying to say here. That mask makes you look extremely suspicious to begin with. On the contrary, they’d be vigilant about you」 (Hind)

「Umu, like that you end up taking the initiative in the conversation. Vulgar, as expected of a filthy ninja」 (Yumir)

「So mean! Even though I was only trying to turn around the conversation because we were getting nowhere!?」 (Tobi)

「Fu, fufufu…ah, I’m sorry」

From that reaction, I could tell that this girl was the honest type.

The other girl by her side that I failed to notice, started to explain.

「I’m sorry. This girl is a knight…but she started admiring Yumir-san’s aggressive style after watching that video. We just found you by chance while we were walking around and blood rushed to her head thinking it was destiny」

「W-wait, Sai-chan!?」

「Ah, I’m called Cineraria. This girl is called Licoris. The one over here that looks sleepy is Siesta」 (Cineraria)

「Good evening…fuwahh」 (Siesta)

「I know this might be rude of us, but we have a request. It’s fine if it’s just for a little bit, I’d like Yumir-san to show her fighting style to Licoris but-」 (Cineraria)

「Sure!」 (Yumir)

「Really!? Is it really OK to give us an immediate reply!?」 (Licoris)

「T-Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!」 (Cineraria)

Due to the unforeseen reply, even the girl that had her eyes narrowed in sleepiness looked surprised.

She’s like this after all…just give up.

「You don’t mind, right? Hind」 (Yumir)

「Ah, go ahead」 (Hind)

「Hmm? You are not coming with us?」 (Yumir)

「To begin with, I was thinking about splitting up tonight so I could go sell that greatsword and craft some elven ears. Tobi, what do you plan to do?」 (Hind)

「I’m also interested in the trading BBS and the market. Since level cap has been raised, I’ll give preference to information gathering tonight. I’ll go with you, Hind-dono」 (Tobi)

「There you have it. Once you are done, send us a mail」 (Hind)

「Got it!」 (Yumir)

Yumir was the first one to stand up and start walking, the three of them bowed and thanked us.

Since the three of them seem to know their manners, I believe there’s nothing for me to worry about.

Immediately after the four of them tried to exit to the field…

「Ah, wait a moment. Who’s the healer in this party?」 (Hind)

「Fuwah…that would be me sir…」 (Siesta)

While yawning, the girl that looked sleepy raised her hand.

Due to me saying that, they all turned their heads and stood still, eh…was she called Siesta-chan?

Siesta-chan urged the rest of them to go ahead.

「Ah, go ahead first. I’ll catch up soon enough…probably. So, what did you want, senpai?」 (Siesta)

「I’ll give you some healing items. Mainly holy water」 (Hind)

「Eh? Why? …Ah, oh I get it. It’s true that I’m a balanced type Shinto priest and I’m unable to resurrect. However, is it OK? To receive a gift like this without giving anything in return」 (Siesta)

「It’s fine. If you end up being unable to resurrect them because of Yumir, the mood will turn sour…I believe it’ll place a burden on you, probably」 (Hind)

「Hnu. So Yumir-san is that type as expected…a wild boar?」 (Siesta)

「Right on the money. She relies on Hind-dono’s support after all…I believe a normal healer wouldn’t be able to support her properly」 (Tobi)

「I see…I have more of an interest in you than Yumir-san though…if it’s OK with you, can we exchange friend requests? Can we?」 (Siesta)

「Hmm? I don’t mind…you are quite peculiar」 (Hind)

「They do tell me that often…or maybe not…」 (Siesta)

After receiving the holy water and exchanging friend requests, Siesta-chan leisurely pursued the other three.

Is she really going to be able to catch up to them at that speed?

Oh well…but she sure was a girl that you couldn’t figure out what was was going through her head…

「…That’s no good, Hind-dono」 (Tobi)

「Ah? What are you talking about?」 (Hind)

「No matter how grown up she looks, that would be a crime! No matter how you look at her, she’s a middle schooler!」 (Tobi)

「What do you even mean? Even if she said she had interest in me, it was obvious that it was not the type of interest in the opposite sex. More importantly, where were you even looking at when you said that her growth was good? Isn’t because you have those indecent and perverted thoughts that girls avoid you?」 (Hind)

「…」 (Tobi)

「S-Sorry. I said too much. I’ll apologize so don’t cry silently like that!」 (Hind)

She didn’t exchange friend requests with Tobi…but that’s probably because she noticed Tobi staring at her chest that didn’t match her age.

They’ll feel uncomfortable if they notice you doing that so that’s no good, I even told him a long time ago.

The sense of distance between girls and Tsukane-kun is pretty bad! That was the kind of conversation I had with Saitou-san at some point.

That’s why I think he’s not popular even though he has a handsome face…it’s such a waste.
