A Certain Middle-Aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log - CH 107
The next day’s login, I made preparations for leaving the Fairy Kingdom, then left my room. When I had left my room and returned the key, the innkeeper stopped me.
“You, what on earth have you done!? There’s a wanted poster, you know!?”
“Haa!?”
On the paper that the innkeeper showed me, there was my picture, and it was written that whoever took me to the castle would get a reward.
“—- Hmm, so they went so far as to make a wanted poster…”
Up until now I was putting on a good face, but … THIS is …
“Queen, this calls for punishment… this has already surpassed the degree of being satisfied with the rose whip…”
The innkeeper seems to be frightened with a “Hee-!?” but I already don’t care; my target is the Fairy Castle.
────────────────────────
Changing places, it’s the Fairy Castle’s Imperial Office.
“Green Dragon Elder! With this, I have fulfilled my obligation! Even though our side had no desire to make him ‘wanted’!”
The Queen raised her voice, half oozing with anger.
“My deepest apologies, but it’s a dire situation for us as well. Even if we ask those similar humans who specialize in cooking in the human cities, “The dragons wish for you to cook for them,” they don’t believe us, don’t wish to accommodate us, are afraid of us, or come full of vigor with their comrades to subjugate us… that’s the state of all the people we’ve talked to. In particular, there are a lot of responses of the incomprehensible, “If there is such a thing, then it’s weird for there not to be an official notice.””s
So saying, he let out a sigh.
“In the end, this discussion can only be frankly held with the man called Earth, as of now, at least. Therefore, if the cooperation of that man is not obtained…”
Here the Queen inserted an objection.
“Even so, going around and pursuing him so extremely will not resolve your problems! Ku-, if it weren’t for our history in the Old War, this demand would have been turned down. Yesterday we reluctantly cooperated, but frankly, on our side, we’re regretting how extreme the actions are!”
Frankly, there was no such need to flush him out this way. Although she was panicked greatly, the Queen regretted her actions from yesterday; at that moment, the door to the Imperial Office grandly exploded and flew off.
“Wha,what is this! Imperial guards!”
She readied herself to fight against the mysterious intruder, but the voice she then heard was…
“Even if you call them they won’t come; all of the Imperial guards have willingly let me through.”
It was the voice of Earth, filled with fury.
────────────────────────
In front of me are the two, Queen and the Green Dragon in human-ified form, together; this is perfect.
“To go so far as to make me a wanted man. As expected, I’m unable remain calm! It’s time for a punishment, Queen!”
As you might expect, this time’s matter is something I won’t be able to forgive. Being made a wanted man is practically the treatment you’d give to a criminal. Naturally, for them to go so far will make me blow my top.
“W,wait, there’s a reason for this!”
The Queen is saying something in a panic, but I ignore it.
“Your excuses are worthless!”
I approach the Queen and, grabbing her clothes around the chest, pulled her up.
“I only have one thing to say to you! Get this ring off my finger! You one-sidedly forced it on, so you should be able to take it off!”
Moving on, still grabbing onto the Queen, I also made a declaration to the Green Dragon old man.
“Now that you’ve gone this far, there’s no way I’ll ever cook for the dragons! Get out of here! If you’re thinking about using force to have me cook … in order stick up for how I feel about your actions, I don’t care about winning or losing, I, a lone human, will draw my bow against you dragons!”
So saying, I glare at the Green Dragon.
“Are you sane, child of man?”
Despite harboring irritation, the Green Dragon old man quietly asks.
“Of course, just how shameless are you dragons! Without even giving remuneration, you pile on demand after demand without considering the other side’s circumstances! It just goes to show you get cocky when you’re the strongest!”
At those words of mine, the Green dragon old man began to distinctly emit a killing intent in my direction.
“Hou, you say we’re shameless?”
But I’m going to clearly lay it out.
“Is it the trend among dragons that, once someone saves the princess of your country, then, without considering his own will or circumstances, you would force him to accommodate you for one thing after another, piling on demand after demand? If that’s the case, well then, e-xcuuse me.”
To my words full of provocation, the eyes of the Green Dragon in front of me changed from human eyes to reptilian eyes.
“Let’s step outside; I’ll tear that body limb from limb!”
The Green Dragon was the one who said it, but, ha-, that suits me just fine. If I don’t decisively end this business, then there’s pretty much no doubt he would come endlessly demanding cooking. I’m not the dragons’ slave nor their exclusive cook, therefore as an adventurer, as one man from the race of humans, I can only fight.
“I’m going to put a hole though your belly!”
In the wide garden behind the Fairy Castle, the curtain rises on the reckless fight between a dragon, a member of the strongest race, and an adventurer, who is mediocre in terms of strength. But, I can at least blast him with just one arrow.
A/n: Next time, a reckless fight with a dragon.
