VRMMO: My first Contractee is Yandere

Chapter 47 The Real World

Liora was eager to continue, but I made her take a day off.

The reason was that Liora's armor durability had decreased. While it was being repaired, we couldn't go on any adventures. We could have used the initial equipment, but that would have been an unnecessary risk.

"No. No. No, God... I'm sorry."

"Come on, Liora. Calm down."

"Ugh... it's painful."

I was about to log out.

Since we couldn't go on an adventure, there was no point in me staying with Liora. In fact, it was better for me to log out so Liora could utilize her [Lonely Resistance] skill. With that skill, even practicing swings gives her a decent amount of experience points. Especially since her skill level is still low, it's quite effective.

The level-up pace slows down after level 50.

Liora sat on the inn's floor, tears streaming down her face. I felt bad, but if I don't log out, I can't eat or sleep.

"Look, Liora. I'll respond to your messages as promptly as possible, okay?"

"Ugh... I'm sorry, but please be back soon."

"There, there, you're a good girl. You're a good girl, Liora."

After spending three hours comforting Liora, I finally logged out.

It almost felt like I hadn't been in the real world for a while. Since time is accelerated in the game world, this feeling isn't entirely wrong.

I got up from the bed and stretched.

The mattress I ordered will take a few more days to arrive. I've also ordered one for Liora, just in case. As I mentioned earlier, if you pay, you can bring items from this world into the other one. It's as if the items you purchase online get delivered directly there.

It's a strange feature.

To be honest, it's a rip-off (since you don't actually receive the items here). Apparently, those who brought in mattresses said that when they tried sitting or lying on them after [Manifesting] them, the sensation was exactly the same as in the real world. So, I'll gift one to Liora as well.

It feels like I'm spoiling a game character, but it's more like a donation because I'm impressed by the quality of "PHO." I wouldn't want the service to end.

Despite these expenses, I'm actually making a decent amount of money in "PHO." Even setting aside the million rupees from the event, I'm doing well from regular adventures, selling rare drop items that I don't use. Sometimes, I get an amount equivalent to selling a weapon with really unique abilities. Well, it's mostly small change, but it's a huge amount considering it's money earned from playing.

When I opened the door, my neighbor was there with a sad expression, clutching her stomach as she spoke.

"Um, did you... make extra breakfast by any chance?"

"I told you to stock up, didn't I?"

"I've been eating cup noodles morning, noon, and night, continuously! Please, I want to eat something warm, made by a human! Plus, the garbage is piling up infinitely, and there's no room to step..."

"Why don't you eat out? You could order delivery. And please don't let insects infest your place. They might come over here."

"It's a hassle... and lately, I've been too busy with the game..."

I sighed deeply.

As I was about to go back to my room, my neighbor hastily held the door open. I waved lightly over my shoulder.

"I'll bring you the meal in a box. Eat it at home."

"Th-thank you... I'm sorry, as always."

"Since you can't wash it, just leave the box by the door when you're done. Don't let it get moldy like last time because you couldn't wash it."

"I-I'm sorry... for everything. Mo—Arav."

"Did you just start to call me 'Mom'?"

I handed the box to my neighbor.

It's not out of kindness, but to avoid having a rotting corpse next door. It's scary, and it stinks. It's natural to want to prevent it if possible.

... I might have to go over to clean soon. I really don't want to deal with insects.

Her place is seriously filthy. I realized this when she once lost some documents and asked me to help her find them.

Finally, I can log into the game.

Now, let's head to the forest in Elfland... to its deepest part!

Goodbye to the harsh reality.
