The returned former hero dominates in VRMMO. ~A life aiming to support his VTuber little sister to the fullest~

Episode 37

“Eh? It’s bad to get helped and then also receive a weapon!”

“Nah, it’s fine. I don’t have any use for it other than throwing. You’re streaming, right?”

“Eh? Oh, s-sorry! I forgot it was still on!”

“It’s no big deal. Besides, I’m hiding my face anyway. So, can I do a bit of promotion in exchange for the gear?”

“Eh? Um, yeah… That’s fine.”

“Alright then. My sister is active under the name Kiri Kiri Mai. Please subscribe to her channel! Okay, all done.”

“Um… Are you okay with that?”

“Oh, forgot to mention. I’ve also got a channel called Clown Brother. I’ll be uploading videos and streaming there eventually, so subscribe now. Oh, and there’s a fairy named Lulura who sings and dances on that channel.”

“Big brother!? Did you really just do that!?”

“Yeah, I did. So, be grateful for the promotion.”

“I-I told you I didn’t want that… it’s embarrassing…”

While Lulura says that, once she gets used to being in the spotlight, her shyness will probably go away.

Anyway, that should be the end of the promotion. After returning her equipment, I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Now then, since my task is done, shall I escort you to the city? It’ll be easier to meet up with your friend there, right?”

“Eh? …Um, yeah. If you could escort me, I’d appreciate it. But isn’t the city far?”

“Do you know I’m currently reselling [Warp]? With one of these, you can move as a party.”

“Oh, [Warp] costs 50,000 gold. Let me know if you want one.”

Lulura promoted confidently and bowed politely.

Seeing that, Kujou-san finally smiled genuinely.

“In that case, can I ask you to register for the party?”

“Sure. Then, let’s move to Antares.”

I invited her to the party and we moved to Antares.

“N-Natsumi!”

When we arrived at the Antares Fountain Square, a girl, presumably Kujou-san’s friend, rushed over and hugged her.

“Mana… I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“No, that’s my line! If I were stronger, Natsumi wouldn’t have had to go through that…! Oh, right! Thank you, Clown’s Brother!”

Mana, who bowed deeply, made me chuckle.

“It’s nothing. I just don’t like those who target beginners for personal gain.”

“Amazing… Clown’s Brother! Oh, I subscribed to your channel too! I’ll be looking forward to it!”

Clown’s Brother, I wonder if the meaning will change again?

(Note: As I’ve explained before I chose “Clown Brother” instead of “Hyottoko Big Brother”.The Japanese for that one is “ひょっとこ兄貴” or “Hyottoko Aniki”. In this chapter, he is called “ひょっとこの兄貴” or “Hyottoko no Aniki” by Mana. The “no” particle indicates possession or association. So it roughly translate as “Hyottoko’s Big Brother”)

I chuckled at Mana’s shining eyes and then noticed people gathering.

“If we stay here too long, we’ll attract attention. I’ll take my leave around here.”

“Thank you so much.”

“Thanks!”

Before the crowd gathered, I escaped to Irelina with [Warp].

While I don’t mind PK, if you’re going to do it, target strong players, that’s my thinking.

Beginner hunting is also a major problem affecting the player population of the game.

If the player population decreases, the cash-to-gold exchange rate should also drop.

There aren’t many people willing to spend money on a game that isn’t popular.

…Beginner hunting, huh.

Something similar happened in another world… Those demons tried to kill me before I could grow stronger.

Thinking about it makes me angry.
