VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

Chapter 135: Second coming of Maou(chan)

Nothing much to say this time.

Enjoy.

『Nooooooo!! What are you doing!? I haven’t said anything yet!』(Samael)

「Shut up!! Bring out Maou-chan!! D-Degozaruuuuu!!」(Tobi)

Samael reacted as if he was protecting his body, probably, the players in other places were also throwing stones at him…

Furthermore, they were probably also shouting at him like Tobi was doing.

Unfortunately(?), we can’t really look at the reactions the other players have from the agricultural area.

Even though it was better than before, compared to other areas, Sala was still rather unpopulated.

However, if we were in the middle of town, while you wouldn’t be able to call it a large amount, you probably would be able to see quite the amount of stones being thrown.

『Ugh, stop with this kind of pattern already! I’ll be speaking first, then Maou-sama will talk with you visitors! Maou-sama is bad at giving detailed explanations! She will definitely bite her tongue! Inconsiderate monkeys!』(Samael)

『Samael!? Just now, did you just casually disrespect me!?』(Maou)

「To begin with, you should start talking after making your appearance! Only your voice!? Are we only going to hear your voice, Maou-chan!? If you are close by, please make your appearance! Even though I want to look at Maou-chan even if it’s just a minute or second longer!」(Tobi)

「「「Uwah…」」」

Listening to Tobi scream his heart out, the girls started backing down.

In his rage, he kept throwing the stones he had in his inventory.

He sure has quite the amount of stones in there…though I guess the fact that he’s not using kunais or bo-hiyas attests to the fact that he has not gone crazy yet.

『Gohon! Hear me out, visitors! The area we have released monsters at this time is…the Mahl Republic, Sepia water area! Right now, it’s the season for fishing Tunnus right? Kukuku…in order to protect the fishing grounds from the monsters, head to the northern region right now!』(Samael)

「Releasing the monsters after making an announcement, how sincere are these demons?」(Hind)

「They are really dumb…」(Riizu)

Well, we could say this kind of circumstances are because we are inside a game though…

Other than that, if they announce the place, I guess they want the players to plan a way to go there.

It would be another thing if there was a warp like back with the tournament though.

「Hind, what’s that Tunnus that guy talked about?」(Yumir)

「Hmm? Ah, in short, it’s tuna. I have seen it being sold in the trading BBS. In other words, they are probably going to release monsters that prey on tunas?」(Hind)

「Aquatic monsters huh…I wonder what it’ll be.」(Yumir)

「Could it be that we’ll need a ship to sail into the sea?」(Riizu)

「-Uhyoooooooooooo!! Maou-chaaaaaaaaaaan!!」(Tobi)

Close to us who were having a conversation, Tobi screamed at the sky in delight.

Looking at the source, like he had said, Maou-chan was displayed on the screen.

『…』 (Maou)

However, for some reason, Maou-chan didn’t say a word while sitting down in her chair.

Looking at her closely, there was a bright red mask with a X on her mouth.

I don’t really get it…but, Maou-chan was banging the table and making gestures with her hands to bring our attention to her.

The camera kept focusing on her and this time, she took a bundle of papers from under the table.

「What’s that?」(Hind)

「Hind-kun. Those papers, they have drawings on them.」(Selene)

「Muu. Is this…a picture book?」(Yumir)

「Seems like it.」(Riizu)

From above the papers on top of the table, the camera settled down at the perfect distance where we could see the papers and also Maou-chan looking at us.

Tobi was delighted to be able to see from that distance.

Thinking that he had been silent for a while, I realized that he had been concentrating on taking screenshots with the camera function.

The cover on the first page read 「Southern sea Kraken」 written in round hiragana.

『300 years ago-』(Samael)

At the same time that Maou-chan turned the page over, we could hear Samael’s voice, which wasn’t reflected on the screen.

Seeing that, Yumir tilted her head.

「Maou-chan is not speaking.」(Yumir)

「Well, Samael already said it but…she did bite her tongue while giving her speech last time.」(Riizu)

「Though a large amount of players did find the fact that she was stuttering cute…」(Selene)

「She probably dislikes the fact that she can’t speak. But looking at this makes you think again, that the learning ability of TB’s AI is amazing.」(Hind)

In other words, they used this method in order to prevent her from biting her own tongue while explaining.

Maou-chan, she sure is doing her best.

『Especially when in a crowd, it would swim really slowly, on top of that, since he looked different from others, he was ridiculed by the companions around him.』(Samael)

Drawn in one of the pages was the depressed Kraken being made fun of by others.

It was kinda hard to see but you could somehow differ it from the picture.

That being said, discrimination is a painful thing…when I was a kid, I was excluded from the boys’ groups because I was playing with Miyu and Rise all the time.

『Even then, the Kraken put up with the herd. Endured, endured, and endured…for how many years did he do so? On a certain day, he realized that his body was bigger than anyone else in the herd.』(Samael)

Maou-chan turned over the page, on that page, the Kraken was drawn having grown splendidly.

Ooh, the Kraken worked hard! He deserves praise!

『Then, the Kraken finally realized. If it was with this gigantic body…that he would be able to exact revenge on all those that mocked him until now!』(Samael)

E…Eh? The atmosphere has suddenly…

Wouldn’t it be fine if he just proved himself worthy of being the leader of the herd?

Or he could just leave the herd, he could also just go on a trip and explore the parts of the ocean he hasn’t seen yet.

Then in the next page, the Kraken’s eyes were glowing with a suspicious color.

『The Kraken attacked all those that had mocked him in the past! Then…』(Samael)

The Kraken used his tentacles to attack.

The appearance of the members of the herd that the Kraken attacked…didn’t look like him at all no matter how you looked at them.

『That’s right! The herd the Kraken had lived with for so many years, it wasn’t an octopus one but a Tunnus one!』(Samael)

W-What did you just say!?

…However, it’s impressive how an octopus was able to keep up with a tuna’s speed.

If I remember correctly, a tuna’s swimming speed is around 10km/h, the fastest they can go is 80km/h.

『What’s this!? It’s so tasty!!』(Samael)

While munching on them, it was as if his pent up resentment disappeared and he craved for all the tuna herds in the ocean.

As Maou-chan flipped through the pages in the story book, the Kraken’s body kept getting bigger and bigger.

『Becoming the supreme ruler of the southern seas, The Kraken devoured ships, living beings and even monsters of the same race as him until the Maou sealed him. Even now, the Kraken is starving inside the jar the Maou sealed him in and is trying to break free while rampaging inside…』(Samael)

THere was a drawing of Maou-chan cramming the octopus inside a jar and the picture book ended right there.

Maou-chan breathed out in satisfaction, then she organized the bundle of papers, after placing the papers down, this time she placed a jar that looked exactly like the one in the picture on the table.

Inside that fist sized brown jar, something seemed to be moving and it was currently shaking.

『…You understood right!? That will be all.』(Samael)

The moment Samael tried to wrap things up like that…Yumir, Riizu, Tobi and I took a stone and threw it at the image of Samael.

How are we supposed to understand it!

『Nuooh!? Was my explanation still not enough!? In short, because sealing it again will be too troublesome, we are just pushing the job on you guys, the visitor-』(Samael)

『Samael!?』(Maou)

『Ah!? O-Oh crap!』(Samael)

Having mixed his true feelings in there, Samael held his head between his hands as he shouted.

While removing her mask, Maou-chan kicked Samael in the shin and started to hit his body repeatedly.

『B-Because of your verbal slip, the picture book I worked so hard on has become useless! Like this, it’d be the same as if I was asking them for a favor normally—Kuh, my dignity!』(Maou)

「So Maou-chan drew that picture book? Why was it drew with crayons like those used by kids?」(Yumir)

「More importantly, Maou-chan didn’t have a thing called dignity from the start.」(Riizu)

Yumir and Riizu retorded.

Next to us, Tobi looked really excited because Maou-chan had finally been able to speak normally.

In the projection, Samael was frantically lowering his head towards Maou-chan.

『I-I apologize Maou-sama! Please, forgive me!』(Samael)

『I don’t really care how, summarize things properly, Samael! I’m already tired of this! That jar keeps shaking in the middle of the night and I haven’t been able to sleep properly! Though, if I were to place it far away, the seal would weaken! Ugh! No more!』(Maou)

『Ugu…a-anyway! Like I told you at the beginning, the Kraken loves Tunnuses! Follow the Tunnuses in the Sepia water area and subjugate the Kraken that will appear there! That’ll be all!』(Samael)

After Samael left those words in his act of desperation, the projection in the sky disappeared.
