A Certain Middle-Aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log Chapter 97.5

— Within a certain company’s Conference Room 6.

“Umu, sorry for gathering all of you, but whatever the case, I(washi) am not good with conference calls, de nou.”
(old man)

“Introductions are all well and good, desuwa, but hurry it up and get to the main topic.”
(ojou)

“It is true; it is not like everyone has a lot of free time, after all.”
(polite man)

“Is it something the Master(aruji) intends to make money with again? You should compromise moderately.”
(man a)

“Use the profits. If you don’t, the economy won’t turn, zo.”
(man b)

“What all of you (onushira) have said is more nagging. This time we wanted to a.s.semble all members together, na.”
(old man)

“Heeeh… and the reason you took the initiative to a.s.semble us is?”
(ojou)

“It is simple, jayo; whether it is good to continue the development of One More. It’s been on the table for several months, but how do you see it?”
(old man)

“If it’s that then I’ll add one vote to continue, zo. That world is still too small.”
(man b)

“I’m for continuing as well, ne. Could it be that we’re tight on money, Ojii-chan? It’s fine with me if I take on that part.”
(ojou)

“Let me say, I(washi) also intend for us to continue, but I have to listen to the opinions for the time being.”
(old man)

“In order to crush my daughter’s over-inflated pride thoroughly, I would like to continue even further.”
(polite man)

“Aa, there won’t be a problem with continuing.”
(man a)

“Fumu, unanimously for continuation; good, good, the best result, jya.”
(old man)

“Jii-san, it’s fine to sit there being all satisfied, but what about EA and EB?”
(man b)

“Fufu, be amazed; after getting involved with a certain player, EA started smiling and EB is able to be irritated at things.”
(old man)

“I was also startled when I first saw it at the beginning; the iron-faced EA, and EB, who became soft and servile from watch that kind of older sister, to have changed that much, ne.”
(ojou)

“My word… I only wanted to show my daughter Elizabeth all of One More, but I have also come to want to see it firsthand.”
(polite man)

“Fufu, as Millie, going all over and around in that world from a single player’s point of view, I also whipped your daughter into shape with some discipline, but that he… uun, that one is amusing.”
(ojou)

“Fun-, are you that well acquainted with that knowledgeable player?”
(man-b)

“Yes, I am, as well as his daughter Eliza-chan, ne.”
(ojou)

“Hou, that is quite interesting; shall I ask about him from my daughter? And as I thought, it was you that cut down my daughter’s inflated pride, hm?”
((polite man)

“Fumu; I am also interested in that player, and that is why I can’t break allow the original continuation plan to be broken, na.”
(man a)

“Umu, it’s also the AIs learning material, but it’s still too early to take the world of One More from the players.”
(old man)

“Maa, it’s fine to dream about it a little more. It’s too much for that world to have the protagonists be the AIs and the players mer

ely extras, but if they continue to be usable extras, then we will keep the service, as it’s called, in that world.”
(man a)

“That’s true; once they’re not usable we can cut the service, and it would be fine if we’re the only ones who can visit that world; no matter which way the hammer falls there won’t be any problems.”
(ojou)

“We’ve talked this much, but there’s one request that I have of everyone.”
(polite man)

“A? What is it, ‘Gentleman’?”
(man b)

“Actually, I have a research group under me that’s also researching AI creation, you see; it’s a state where the research has come to a stop at 80% completion, though…”
(polite man)

“Fuun? So could it be that you want those children to use One More as a cla.s.sroom?”
(ojou)

“It is as you say. As it may be possible to bring about changes like in EA and EB, I was thinking that I would definitely love to take the chance, and right now it just so happens that everyone is a.s.sembled together.”
(polite man)

“If it proves to be amusing, then I(washi) do not mind.”
(old man)

“I don’t mind as well, but is the personality formation of those AIs more or less complete?”
(man a)

“Yes, in that area the data from EA and EB was helpful by far.”
(polite man)

“Then that’s fine; it looks like sticking them in and observing them can be interesting.”
(man b)

“U-n…”
(ojou)

“What, are you dissatisfied with something?”
(man b)

“I wonder if it would be alright to add 1 condition?”
(ojou)

“What could it be? Would it be something related to finances?”
(polite man)

“You see, those children… I want see them run into that person who changed EA and EB; I have a feeling that it will be more interesting that way.”
(ojou)

“Hou? Then you mean, it will be something like shock treatment?”
(old man)

“Yes, it’s fine to let them slowly learn in the unimplemented areas, but don’t you want to see what will happen if you first let them run into him, and then after let them spend their time?”
(ojou)

“Heeh; it’s true that the extremely laidback style doesn’t suit me; that’s great, let’s do that.”
(man b)

“It’s an interesting proposition, but … will that be alright? On that side.”
(polite man)

“At the very least he doesn’t seem to harbor any weird prejudices. As for the AIs races… that’s right, let’s set one party as an elf and the other party as a dark elf. At the very least, by making those races as the setting, it will be set up so that the two of them will have mutual respect and won’t conflict with each other.”
(ojou)

“But you know, if those kids happen to get seduced like EA and EB, won’t they join the harem?”
(man b)

“The man himself doesn’t have those sorts of intentions, but that would also be amusing, ne; whatever the case, being unable to predict this is what makes it fun, right? For everyone else as well.”
(ojou)

All members nodded.

“Then I will convey that direction to the programmers. If I encourage that group with a bonus it should be fine.”
(old man)

“As for that bonus, I will produce it from my foundation; it is my selfishness after all.”
(polite man)

“Got it; then, is it ok to disband for today?”
(man b)

“Aa, a.s.sembly over.”
(old man)
