The Villainess That Was Once A VRMMO player

’t have the smell of older adults who haven’t taken a bath.

Once inside, I understood why.

More than half of the adventurers there… No, 70% of them were all dressed up in fancy clothes.
What’s more–

“Uncle, aren’t you tired of eating the same old preserves that don’t taste good? How about these hard-baked pretzels?”

“No, I’m afraid it’ll fall apart if I hold it…”

“Don’t worry.
An adventurer of the capital will be fine.
Two bags for a small silver coin.”

“Alice, you, it can’t be helped.”

“Wow, I love you, uncle.
Oh, knight brother, I saved five bags of honey butter pretzels for you.
They’re a little crumbly, but they’re delicious.

“Five bags? Oh, of course, I’ll buy them.”

“Thank you very much.
I love you!”

“…”

Was it déjà vu? An auditory hallucination? From the crowd of male adventurers, I heard voices and names I had heard somewhere before.

This is not a good situation.
Let’s go home quickly.
The moment I turned on my heel.

“Oh, the elf lady was mean to me the other day.”

I got entangled.

“Alice-chan, did this half-elf do something to you?”

“Yes, uncle.
I’m just trying to be nice … I brought her freshly baked pretzels and was surprised when she burned them.”

“What?”

She was still out of my sight, but she seemed to have spotted me through the small gap between the adults and got involved.

“Ah, you, you’re that half-elf woman who’s been doing stuff lately!”

“…”

A young boy knight who came out with Alice from the crowd saw me and raised his voice.

Why would Abel, a ducal knight, be in the Adventurers’ Guild? I wondered how he knew about the pretzels sold in front of the Mages’ Guild, but I guess he bought them from Alice here as well.

I only stepped into the Adventurers’ Guild, and I landed myself in a tricky situation within a few seconds.

Abel was staring at me as if he was about to draw his sword.
But he can’t seem to pull out his sword because he held five pretzels bags.

Pfft.

“What’s so funny?!”
