A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki

We put in 2 breaks along the way, but even so, we reached the inward city at a much higher speed than if I ran the far distance myself. A bears running power is something you cant make light of, na. Although it seems hes not good at descending downward-sloping paths, though.

We finally reached the city, na; but man, your ability to sense the presence of monsters is pretty amazing, na.

On the way, of course there were monsters loitering around, and on top of that, night-time is even more dangerous, but with Farsight and Thiefs detection skills, we made it all the way through without fighting even once, since we could keep at a distance and take small detours so the monsters dont notice us.

Ma, its just a technique that I learned because Im usually walking around all by myself.

Replying like that to the bear fairy, I descended from his back, pet him a little more and made to part from him reluctantly, but.

From the guards guarding the gates into the city, there was a, Present your identification! that made me jump.

Theyre a lot stricter with this compared to the fortress towns, ne?

Bear-san showed a card hanging around his neck, and I showed the ring.

We have confirmed them; please, feel free to proceed!

Bowing my head, I passed through.

They were only doing their job diligently, just with a little high-pressured way of speaking; getting angry at that would be misguided.

And also, gatekeepers are existences that cant be timid when doing their job, so in some ways, gatekeepers being like THAT with their words is more reassuring.

After passing through the gates, there the scenery changed all of a sudden; with flowers blooming and music playing, an old Viennese cityscape spread out before me.

The Fairy Countrys inward cities are cities that support the arts. North is literature, East is painting, West is sculpture, and here, the South, is music, apparently.

To the me who had unconsciously stopped his feet, the bear fairy told me this.

So thats why theres so much music flowing about.

Then, will there be any meaning for adventurers to be here?

There the bear fairy immediately shook his head.

Its the reverse; theres tons of work. The humans have adventurers; for us fairies we have the ones we call wanderers, those who are able to go from town to town while changing their jobs, but of course those who dont have combat abilities arent able to do so.

And here too, as always, starting with the High Rabbits, there are harmful monsters; and the issues the gatekeepers alone arent enough to handle are many.

Fumu, I see.

In other words, this city is basically big on arts, but the combat ability, in some ways, is lacking, you mean?

To that the bear fairy nodded in agreement.

Thats basically it; of course there are permanent soldiers and knights stationed, but they are our last line of defense; they are unable to go on the offensive. If the city becomes inadequately defended, there is where the adventurers and wonderers should step in.

Furthermore, when theres no fighting going on, the soldiers and knights are living freely.

Theyre ones who fight if they have to, they arent troops who get involved.

Of course, its not like theyre pointless existences; to not have those who are available to fight in an emergency is out of the question, after all. That said, its not good to just have them sitting around during normal times.

Ma, whatever the case, as long as theres work, looks like I wont be troubled for money and fall into the mess of having to sleep outdoors. That said, as expected, I already just want to sleep today.

Since I was given a ride, theres no question that things were more leisurely, but even then, since I was detecting monsters, I got pretty worn out. And also, its getting to that time where I should log out.

Then, Ill give you my recommendation for the inn; its beer is also good. After that, we can eat your food, na?

Saying so, the bear fairy licked his lips.

Then, it will be the compensation.

I handed over some of the rabbit karaage and poultry skewers.

With this, pardon me from it, but cooking right before I go to sleep is understandably tough, na.

If I dont hurry up and log out, tomorrow is whats going to be tough.

More than enough; tonights beer is gonna be tasty too, looks like. Until we reach the inn, Ill give you a lift.

And so, the inn I was taken over to had a private space that made it quite a wide, luxurious inn; even though usually, lodgings are the unchanging standard inn, like a chain store.

On top of that, if you want to stay at this inn but you dont have a regulars recommendation, you wouldnt be given approval; a business that refuses on a glance. Are they able to get by with this? Although I think that, their food prices are somewhat high, so thats probably where they get their main revenue.

Aside from me, hes the important friend of a few people, heres the recommendation, and furthermore I myself am personally referring him, so there should be no complaints, right?

The proprietor of the inn (here the inns proprietor is a man, but they call him proprietor all the same1) also said, If it was even just this referral, the referral of Wild Hair Zetan, there would have been no problems; welcome, dear guest; to our illustrious inn, please feel free to stay a while.

Wild Hair Zetan, nee? So this Bear-san is a famous person, I mean, a famous fairy.

Proprietor, that name is embarrassing, so stop it. Look, aint this guy looking at me funny now?

Their acquaintances I guess; maa, it would be boorish to insert a retort there, so Ill preserve the current situation of just staring at him.

Oo, I beg your pardon; are you looking for lodging?

I take out my money immediately.

Yes; for now, one night please. The payment is here.

The proprietor confirmed the amount, said Yes, there are no problems; here you are, please enjoy your stay, while he handed over the key, and then guided us inside.

I want to sleep immediately, so I said, Then see you, Wild Hair Zetan, youve helped me out a lot, and he grumbled, Like I said, enough with that Old man, after this, were going to have some words, ok?

Ho-ho-ho, although it wasnt written over his head, the proprietor led me like that to one of the private rooms, bowed his head and said, Then, here it is; please enjoy your stay, and headed back to the counter.

Good grief, thanks to that idiot daughters deeds, Ive gained quite some benefits; finally, I can sleep.

Ive suddenly started talking to my self, but I already dont care anymore; weapons and armor, I cancel them all; immediately I crawl into bed and log out. Even when I returned back to real-life, I immediately crawled into the futon and slept.

Going to bed twice but only getting to sleep once, what is this? While thinking that pointless thought, my consciousness gave way to sleep.

The next day, after finishing work and returning to my home, I logged into to the bed and made to get out of the bed, but I cant move my body. What the!? A glitch!? I thought in my confusion, but when I looked closely, theres a strange lump under the blanket.

And when I calmed down even further, theres a strange weight hanging on me.

With a cold sweat full-heartedly starting to fall, I lifted one corner of the blanket, and there the Fairy Queen is mysteriously there.

I replaced the blanket like I didnt see anything; I havent figured out a thing thats going one, but please dont blame me for trying to escape reality.
