VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Huhuhu, you were just trying to teach those thugs a lesson~. I\'m truly grateful for your help."

She was trying to apologize to the inn owner lady, a mature looking older woman with a slender yet tough looking physique that resembled the people who had lived in the harsh environments of the mountains.

Just from her height, which was a little taller than both of them, it was easy to tell she was no simple person, and she was pretty attractive looking, but not certainly as attractive as her young daughter.

"Ummm… b-big sister! Thank you for… for beating those bad people!"

According to what Elio understood, they did not come here to harass her for the first time. The owner had dealt with them previously when they were only in a small group of a few people.

But this time, their entire gang had come and the other players or the natives did not want to deal with them since they were all higher level players who were apparently also famous in this town.

They could only stand there and watch as they caused the commotion but then Alex came and they were dealt with.

"You should have told me about these little flies earlier, Misha. I would have stayed down here to deal with them, hump."

She was still angry at the people who did not stop doing the dirty things even in the game.

The imprisonment and the restrictions it imposed in real time was not enough to deal with these people. They were bastards who should be killed every time they were seen in public.

"Haaa… the guard captain told me I\'ll have to pay-."

"There\'s no need for you to pay for the repairs. We can manage things on our own… besides, you have helped us enough."

Alex had just taken out a pouch of money from her inventory when the owner lady shook her head and placed her hand on Elio\'s shoulder.

"Besides, now that the person you have been waiting for almost half a month is here, you two should spend your time chatting instead of thinking of small things."

The mature lady with long red hair and simple black eyes had felt quite off to him since the moment he first saw her, and her daughter who had her red short hair but profound gray eyes made her the perfect model for a twilight portrait.

He wanted to ask them if they were interested in helping him a little, but after this incident, it was not the best time to talk about something like that.

She seemed like a nice lady, so he at least greeted her properly and smiled at the younger girl who seemed to be in her teenage years.

"You\'re quite a daring person to have made such a pretty young lady wait for you for so long. She looked lonely, you know?"

She tapped his shoulder, and he could definitely feel the strength behind those rough hands.

He knew she was at least a higher level than him.

"I… have no excuse for that. I was engaged with my first trial and it took a longer time than either of us had anticipated."

There was sadness in his eyes as well.

He did not like how he had to make her wait for so many days and he was certainly sorry for that.

But in his position, there was nothing else to do.

Or, perhaps he was just too stubborn and selfish to try something else.

"Yes! He\'s the worst, madam Rin! He\'s the worst!" She squeezed the little slime in her hands as she shouted that.

Thankfully, the slime did not feel pain or most of the other physical sensations.

It was slime with unique senses that worked in a different way from the humans so even though it could perceive the surroundings, the thermodynamics, and simple sensations or touch, it did not have a complex sense system like the humans.

It was merely a creature of nature. So, it was going to be fine even in the deadly hands of his partner.

"We should all punish him, Madam!"

Hearing her say that, Elio suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

He had suffered enough with the slimes already so he had thought his time in the city among the people would be a little peaceful…

He was not looking forward to any more battle just yet.

"Huhu, doesn\'t look like it will be needed, young lady."

She tapped on both their shoulders after seeing the look on Elio\'s face. And then with another laugh, she grabbed both their shoulders.

"You should go back to your room now. It\'s night, and there must be a lot you have to talk about, right?"

She was a nice lady.

He could see why she chose this inn out of tens of others present in this town.

"That\'s right. We surely have a lot to talk about…"

He still had to tell her about his reward distribution and the title and ask her a lot of things about Az.

She was the more knowledgeable person here so he had to rely on her for a few more things.

"We have to do a little more than just talking."

She looked at him with puffed cheeks as if he was forgetting something important.

And seeing this interaction, the inn owner, Madam Rin, could only chuckle at the young couple.

"Yes, yes. You have to do a lot of things and the night is still young. So, go now."

She turned them around and pushed them towards the stairs.

"Go show him your room."

She said she would take care of the damages, but Alex still wasn\'t going to just let her take care of the mess she had made.

So, before she went upstairs with Elio, she threw something from her inventory at the inn owner.

"That should be helpful with a few things."

It was a magic item, a scroll with repair magic recorded in it.

"This is too much, young lady!"

The store owner knew even one of these scrolls was around thirty silver coins, which was a lot from the standards of this world as well as the original world.

Just selling it would make them enough to repair everything to a better condition and she just threw an important item like it was nothing and walked up with a smile.

The owner lady was surely stunned, but she knew she wasn\'t going to win against that person…

She knew her for a while now, so she knew how stubborn she was.

And, since she knew her well, she could tell the one that could handle a person like her, would surely be no ordinary man…
