A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

And so, for the next few days, I took requests to hunt High Rabbits and Thief Birds I fashioned dishes from the spoils from hunting I sold them to the sake-drinking Fairies I enjoyed myself and drank with them; thats the kind of play-cycle that came about.

Fortunately there is also sake with low alcohol content, and so while drinking that sake, I was able to have fun chatting with a large amount of Fairies everyday, but I was unable to enjoy myself more than those 5 days; that is to say, it was too short.

It was a matter that occurred on the 6th day that came to the southern fortress town.

Nee-san! Quick, hide Earth-san!

Just when I thought a regular to the bar had suddenly come in, he let out an extremely panicked yell.

At that moment I was in the middle of receiving the reward for High Rabbit subjugation.

That idiot daughter of the Chief of the southern fortress is coming this way! Hurry up and hide!

After hearing that, the surrounding Fairies and the inns proprietress seemed to understand what was happening

Earth-san, quick, please hide under the counter!

And so I was pushed in.

To go so far as to call her an idiot daughter or like, so she knows my name,na I want time to think about this, but for now Ill just stay completely hidden. And then, I think it was about 2 minutes later? the sound of the door to the bar being violently opened resounded.

I heard that a human that makes strange food is here! Bring him immediately out before me!

Its a womans voice, but how it was said was very high-handed,na; so this is the one they said was the idiot daughter?

I am terribly sorry, Ojou-sama. However, that person had departed from here yesterday.

The proprietress immediately replied in no time at all; I see, theyre going to handle it by saying that Im no longer here.

I found out that he was here in this bar not too long ago, though? He left, in the middle of the night?Un? Nothing good will happen to you even if you hide him from me, though? Dont tell me hes refusing the honor of presenting food to this great me,na?

So its attracted this persons attention; what a pain. And to say present, its not like Im making such formal things or something.

I also told him that it would be dangerous, but it seems like he said some business came up in the east.

A silence fell.

I somehow have the impression that the two of them are probably staring daggers at each other, but right now my job is to not be found, so I can only stifle my breath.

East, was it?

The idiot daughter(?) said.

East is what that person told me.

The proprietress said.

I see. Oi, collect information on all the travelers heading east! If he left at night, then this should be especially easy! To disappear without even presenting me his cooking, this is something that should never occur in this town after all!

Leaving those words behind, I understood from the sound of the sound of her footsteps that she was leaving. But, as soon as she left is still too soon; rather than taking a peek to confirm that she completely left and the surroundings are alright, its safer just to stay hidden. . and so, 5 minutes later, It should be okay now, the proprietress called out to me.

To think that idiot daughter has her eyes on you Earth-san, I apologize for this.

So saying, the proprietress lowered her head.

Its okay, but so you knew who I was after all,ne.

To that statement, the proprietress replied, Yes somewhat forlornly.

As for why she knew who I was but hadnt called me by name so far, a notice had come to the proprietress; they were orders from officials requesting that even if you knew who I was, you were not to point it out.

Now that this kind of thing has happened, although Id like for you to stay longer

Im the same; adventuring here I may not have said it, but the daily life was very fun.

The food that I make myself is delicious, and eating it while drinking sake is bliss.

Its behavior thats difficult for me in real life (in real life Im exceptionally bad with alcohol), but here it became possible.

That damn idiot daughter no matter what how the Chief of the fortress town spoiled his daughter, to allow her to do selfish things that greatly surpass the limits of what you can or cant do without any discipline. Is that ok, person in charge of the fortress?

If you slight the citizens, nothing good will come out of it, you know?

It doesnt seem like I can stay any longer, and Id like to not bring you trouble. I will leave immediately.

I said that, but the guys around stopped me.

- It looks like I wont be able to leave well on my own, so everyone will cooperate to open the way for me.

When I asked why we had to do that, a drinking acquaintance who had just come into the store told me about the information that the idiot daughters private army wanders throughout the town.

You cant make light of relationships made while drinking,na the talk about leaving at night became confirmed, so since I had some time before nightfall, I said my goodbyes, although I had to give up on giving them food because the smell would give us away.

And after some time had passed, it was night; the escape plan was put into action.

That being said, its nothing to overblown; the acquaintances that I had gotten to know over drinking would distract the gazes of the members of the idiot daughters private army while I made my way out of the town; thats all it is.

Here and there small talk about the state of the world began to pop up; in the moment the members of the private army directed their attention there, a Fairy guiding me through would gesture at that timing and teach me the way to go, so with that I walked through the town at night.

Im leaving this city like this; its something I wouldnt have imagined when I came here.

We somehow made it to the gates leading to outside the town, but of course theres a gatekeeper.

We should probably expect them to be under the idiot daughters control; how should I get out and because its night, the gate is shut so we cant just force our way through.

Earth-sama is it; at this time, we greatly apologize for this towns embarrassment.

Is what the gatekeepers said, lowering their heads.

We are unable to offer you anything more than this; please, have a safe journey.

They said that rather quickly, the gate was opened really just a crack; its a gap that only a single person could slip through.

Including this, that idiot daughter has gone overboard too many times up until now. We will be going to the Chief after this and sending an appeal; when everything calms down, please, definitely come back to this town.

They said that, and then with a, Now, quickly! I passed through the gate.

Once I left the town, there a large-sized bear was waiting. A situation where yelling, A monster right away!? and putting myself on guard seems strange.

Hurry and mount onto my back; your food is really tasty, so the least I can do is take you to the southern city further in more quickly, right? Youre in a hurry and have to get far away from this town, right?

So it was a bear-shaped Fairy I tentatively confirmed it with, Is it really ok? but he said, I dont mind, the gatekeepers already told me about everything; now, climb on, so lets obediently get on his back.

Right, Im on, so lets go!

After saying that, he replied, Leave it to me! and at that moment, and with quite the speed, the bear Fairy took off running. With footsteps that sounded deeper than a horses reverberating, we were gone from the southern fortress before I knew it. Clinging tightly to avoid being thrown off, when I turned my head to look back I couldnt see the southern fortress anymore.

An adventurer is supposed to be something like migratory bird, but its also something that has to have many lonely partings.

Farewell, southern fortress town; farewell, Fairies in the south.
