VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 30

...hah!? was that a dream...?

「Kyui...」

Aaw, you two are so kind.... Yosh, Yosh. I'm alright.

「Funsu」 (TN: Puffing out sound.)

Facing me, Aegis, who knew the Antidote Pill's taste for better or worse, let out a snort with an amazed expression.

No matter how you look at it, it's a punishment game. Thank you very much.

...why is there no recovery magic?!

「「「Shyaaaaah!!」」」

I didn't call for youuuuuu!!

【Item: Raw Materials】 Poison Snake's Poison Sack   Rarity: 3

The insides are full of venom, so handle with caution.

Even though I'm battling with Poison Snakes, doesn't something like going to hunt Poison Snakes for the sake of the desired Antidote Pills go beyond putting the cart before the horse? (TN: more literally: mixing up the beginning and the end) By the time enough ingredients are collected, the Antidote Pills will become unnecessary.

「Meeeeh!」

For Aegis, who is raising a victory cry, already the state where he was excessively afraid of Poison Snakes is nowhere to be seen.

...in the first place, it didn't become a battle to be overly-frightened by a companion receiving a surprise attack, and this guy, once he understood his companions would win, he became courageous and determined to attack incessantly.

「Meh?」

To me who was staring at Aegis, What?, he said, tilting his head and looking this way, but I shook my head, it's nothing, and this time his eyes started to follow Mizuki, who was flying in the sky.

Certainly, though Boparu has taken the number one kill count in our party, and though Boparu also has the highest firepower, and though Boparu is also the number one spear.

...huh? Aren't I seeking strange examples to deny it?

「Kyui～」

「Well, because you're cute, ok!」

「Kyui!」

When I called out to Boparu, who kept tottering to a halt, and then continuing to restlessly search the area, an energetically voiced reply came back. Cute.

… lately, when I say cute, Boparu is replying, but I’m worried that she is mistaking cute with her name.

Just supposing, if the full name is written, I wonder if it's Boparu = Cute? Un. It's a perfect calculation with no contradictions anywhere!

-- Ads -- (Chapter continues below)

In other words, that means once I approach these guys, I know where they are, and so, if I run around the forest, I can discover as many treants as I want!

I'm a genius, aren't I? Since I think treants probably drop there, I want to get on with the group hunting.

With that in mind,

「The 1st Crazy Forest Marathon Tournament! Start!!」

「Kyui!」

「Meh?」

Only Aegis made a (゜Д゜)Hah? face at the sudden cry that I let out, and even though it was a sudden high-tension from my plan, for the two having already been with me for while, being in high spirits was something they were accustomed to. ...it's a mood that is contagious even from birth, but...

「Ready, set, start!」

「Kyuiiiiii」

「Meh? Meh!? Mee～～～～～h」

The three who abandoned scouting suddenly started running, and Aegis who got a late start hurriedly came following after.

It wasn't bullying. It was just kidding around.

Hahaha-, that Aegis sure is slow, isn't he?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

「MeEEEH!! MeEEEEEEEEH!! Gafu-」

「Hoh-!!」

In that way, whether to say it's entirely like the famous Melos... or that it a.s.suredly was Melos's running speed, if the distance was divided by the time, wouldn't it be about 4 Kilometers per hour? (TN: A reference to "Run, Melos!" by Osamu Dazai) That's slower than walking normally! There's no way it's so slow just because the footing in the forest is that bad! Or rather, at such a speed, those guys are gonna catch up!!

「「「「Shaaaah!!」」」」

「MeeEEH!! meeEEEEEEH!! Gahoh, gehoh」

The 1st Crazy Forest Marathon Tournament has rapidly become The 1st Crazy Forest Game of Tag.

My original plan was based on the snakes being shaken off and then intending to aim at only those guys that came out together with the occasional treant, but the snakes are too persistent.

「『Waterstorm』!」

「Kyui, kyui, kyui, kyui, kyui, kyuiiiii!」

Plop, plop, plop.

「「「Shaaaaah!!!」」」

The more we run away the more the demon snakes increase and it seems too cruel a demon for something like a game of tag. (TN: in j.a.panese tag is written as being chased by a demon/oni.) Well, whatever. I'll defeat the demons and make them decrease, so....

That aside, it was looking like MP would run out soon as well, and Aegis seemed to have bitten his tongue, and more than that, I was hungry. Soon it became 3 o'clock in the afternoon. From being continuously logged in and not eating lunch, my hunger was intense. Though, even if I ate in-game, it's not like my stomach would become full....

「Zeh...Zeh..Zey, Gahyuru!? Meeh, goh-!!??」

No, more than that, I can't run away and abandon Aegis anyway, so I'll have to do a surprise attack here!

In the front, two Treants were playing otedama with Aegis. (TN: Otedama = traditional beanbag juggling game.)
