I'm just an internet cafe owner

Nine hours later, the internet cafe closed, and Subaru Natsuki returned to his own world.

Looking at the sniper rifle, pistol, and assault rifle in his backpack, Subaru Natsuki's confidence soared. The only downside was the limited ammunition; he only had two magazines of each type.

But having a gun and not having a gun gave him two different kinds of confidence.

He smiled as he walked out of the mansion, casually pushed open one of the doors, and went in, greeting Beatrice directly: "Good morning~"

"Morning...wait? How did you get in?"

"They came in~"

This time, Subaru Natsuki decided to follow the same procedure as before. After so many deaths, he had learned a lesson: talk less and do more. He needed to keep his distance from Rem, who cared deeply for her older sister Ram, and be careful of the monsters.

All day long, Rem stared at him with a strange look. But it didn't matter; the most important thing now wasn't Rem's opinion, but how to resist the Witch Cult's invasion.

Rem is very strong; at least he witnessed her power before his first two deaths. Especially during the last time he faced the Witch Cult, Rem killed a third of their members before dying herself, even when they were ambushed.

If she prepares in advance, she can hold off a portion of the enemy during the battle and snipe that guy herself, and win!

"I have something very important to say."

"?"

Rem sensed the witch's aura emanating from Subaru Natsuki, but as Emilia's benefactor and her master's 'guest,' she suppressed all her emotions.

Natsuki Subaru took a deep breath and explained, "Tonight, the Witch Cult will invade, and the invaders are the Sinister Division of Sloth."

The moment those words left his mouth, Subaru Natsuki rolled away from Rem's sneak attack. He drew his shield and longsword, his expression grim, and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm just telling you what I know, and..."

Natsuki Subaru swung his shield fiercely, deflecting the flying meteor hammer, and instantly his sword was at Rem's neck. At the same time, his combat experience in the Elden Ring and the experiences of each reincarnation flashed before his eyes like a replay.

Based on Rem's performance several times, he had an idea and decided to give it a try. If he succeeded, the rest of the operation would be much easier; if he failed, he could simply try again.

"If I have any aura on me that you find offensive, I apologize. I've been fighting those guys these days, and that might have left some of that aura."

He also felt that he had unconsciously exuded a murderous aura during the battle in the Elden Ring, especially after killing zombies; he could even feel it in his reflection.

It's different from before.

He guessed that Rem had sensed these things and was treating him badly.

A close look at Rem's expression reveals that she has indeed relaxed somewhat, proving that it's effective.

Subaru Natsuki sheathed his weapon and said cautiously, "I have no reason to deceive you. If I wanted to harm Emilia, I would have done it already. As for harming you, you wouldn't have a chance to resist. I have indeed discovered the Witch Cult. Here's what we'll do: if the Witch Cult doesn't appear tonight, I'll accept any punishment. They are very strong and numerous. If we don't escape, even if you and I were together, we wouldn't be able to defeat them."

"If what you say is true, I will apologize to you for my behavior."

Rem remained silent, then got up and left. Although she didn't say anything, she chose to believe Subaru Natsuki's words for the time being, just as Subaru Natsuki said, he had no reason to lie to her.

Whether it's true or false, she'll prepare as if it were true. If it's true, she'll sincerely apologize to Subaru Natsuki after defeating the enemy. If it's false, she'll eliminate Subaru Natsuki, this threat, at all costs.

Chapter Nineteen: Subaru Natsuki and the Mad Fire

In the dead of night, at a time when everyone should be sound asleep, Natsuki Subaru gazed into the distance from the second floor of the mansion. Meanwhile, Rem had already raised her hammer, waiting for the time to pass and for the Witch Cult to appear so she could settle accounts with the person before her. However, her plans were thwarted; she sensed the presence of a witch.

The Witch Cult has emerged.

Invisible hands, a black cloak, green hair.

The Archbishop of Sloth arrived at Roswaal's mansion, having received 'instructions' to use Emilia as a vessel for the resurrection of the Witch of Envy.

Therefore, they attacked the mansion.

He was extremely excited about this operation, and all the members of the Witch Church under his control were mobilized. Before the operation, he had precisely tracked Reinhard's movements, and after confirming that Reinhard would not interfere with his actions, he decided to launch a sneak attack.

Nighttime was when Parker was at his weakest, and the mansion's defenses seemed extremely weak to him.

The appearance of the Witch Cult put the entire mansion on high alert, but fortunately, Rem believed some of Natsuki Subaru's words, and the maids and servants were all dressed and resting.

"You're kidding..."

But upon seeing such a large number of Witch Cult members and the Archbishop of Sloth, Rem realized she had underestimated them. The mansion's owner was not present; their strength alone was insufficient.

"It's okay, leave it to me."

Natsuki Subaru took out an anti-material sniper rifle from his backpack.

This is the weapon that comes with Pierce in Resident Evil 6: 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle ammunition.

The sudden appearance of the weapon made Rem's heart leap. Although there was no sharp blade, the weapon felt incredibly terrifying to Rem.

“Cover me, I’ll wipe them out.”

In the game, the system automatically equipped him with Pierce's sniper rifle handling skills, which could be applied to real life...

He fired, but the shot went way off target. He aimed at sloth, but hit the believers nearby.

"So strong..."

Through the moonlight, Rem saw the state of the believer's body as the bullet pierced through it. The instant the gunshot rang out, a part of the believer's body disappeared, and then the person lay directly on the ground.

At that moment, she began to believe, to some extent, Subaru Natsuki's statement that he had "eliminated many followers of the Witch Cult."

However, Subaru Natsuki was the most embarrassed. He had clearly aimed at Sloth, but it drifted away like this, which made him afraid to use his weapon directly.

The gun had very few bullets, only two magazines in total. His first shot was a complete fluke, and he was lucky if he managed to hit anyone on the next few shots.

The plan failed, but it wasn't a complete failure.

This shot successfully brought the witch's followers to a halt.

"They stopped moving, scared? Oh right!"

Subaru Natsuki had a plan. Even with firearms, he wasn't confident he could wipe them all out. But then again, why kill them all? Wouldn't scaring them away work?

What would be a good way to scare people away?

Subaru Natsuki quickly reviewed all his abilities. Comet Azsler? That thing was both cool and powerful, but its downside was its incredibly high intelligence requirement. Influenced by Liu Yuan, he did have thoughts of going for a strength-based build, but with his highest attribute at 25, he couldn't use it at all.

Prayer seems to work. Since prayer works, then…

He set his sights on 'Sky-Piercing Frenzy Flame,' which, when used, condenses and releases yellow frenzy flames from the eyes, possessing immense destructive power and relatively low energy consumption.

"Okay! We'll use this one."

Subaru Natsuki has never properly used his Fire-type abilities before, but this is the one with the longest range of all his prayers, and it is most effective at night.

The orange-red flames were absolutely conspicuous on this night, and the sheer power of such flames burning a person to ashes would be immense.

"Sky-Piercing Flames!"

Natsuki Subaru began to pray, feeling the warmth of the flames beside his eyes.

But he himself didn't realize that the Madfire was guiding him. Sloth? The Madfire had targeted this enemy the moment it was used. Prayer fired, and in just a moment, Sloth was engulfed by the Madfire.

"Ahhh!"

The mad fire scorched his body; it was a flame that no water could extinguish, a flame from another world.

However, Subaru Natsuki forgot one thing: using Fire-type abilities increases his Berserk level. He activated...

It was game mode, and since I don't usually use the Fire Maniac ability, I completely forgot about it.

But now, his body is only at the strength of an ordinary person. Logically, he should be able to use the Mad Fire a few times, but his body suddenly ignited. The witch's aura lingering on his body became fuel for the Mad Fire. His resurrection authority remained, but the witch's surveillance and aura disappeared.

"Ahhhh!"

A sensation as if his soul was being burned awakened Natsuki Subaru. Looking at the familiar ceiling, Natsuki Subaru felt completely powerless.

Unlike his previous deaths, this time he felt incredibly comfortable, so comfortable that he was completely drained of energy. There was no pain like when he was resurrected; instead, he wanted to experience it all again?

Outside the door, the Rem and Ram sisters pushed open the door and entered. However, unlike the previous times, where Rem had sensed the aura of a witch, this time she felt a burning sensation. It was a strange smell, but considering they were Emilia's benefactors, she wasn't fully on guard.

Inside the internet cafe, Liu Yuan smiled after seeing the information about Subaru Natsuki in the system.

Real-life death and resurrection are far more brutal than in games; the mental torment inflicted by each death is something most people cannot withstand. Madness, seemingly a symbol of evil and chaos, can also burn away the impurities of the body and soul.

"This time, we must succeed."

This time, Subaru Natsuki didn't gain much useful experience, but he did get a day to prepare. He could go online for another day and see if Liu Yuan had any suggestions.

But before that, let's say hello to Tribes one more time~

Meanwhile, in another world, Fujimaru Kaori and her companions are now fully armed and preparing to head to the Hollow in Fuyuki City to resolve this singularity.

"Matthew! Matthew!"

Fujimaru Kaori's voice called out to Matthew: "Senpai, what's wrong?"

"Come on, let's do this, like this, and then..."

Fujimaru Kaori didn't waste her day; under Liu Yuan's guidance, she...

"How disgusting. Can this place really help me improve my strength quickly?"

"Why would I lie to you? Come on, let's ride a horse and get around these Squirtle. See that Blessing? Sit down, and you'll succeed."

What's next?

"Didn't I tell you to buy a bow and arrow? Shoot! Subaru, you can also come here to farm some money. Once you level up, a lot of problems will be solved."

As a tribute, even on realistic difficulty, this game allows players to extract large amounts of runes from the Blood Dynasty Bank using the giant bird. Liu Yuan even asked the system if this was reasonable.

The system stated: "These creatures have been contaminated and have lost their intelligence. When attacked, they become enraged, charge forward, and ultimately fall to their deaths, which is quite reasonable."

Chapter Twenty: Soul Torrent and Saber

Fujimaru Kaori, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the director, Matthew, and a French dog.

The five people formed a team and headed towards the Great Hollow, but after only going halfway, Fagor Cú Chulainn discovered something amiss.

"You guys keep going, I'll handle that guy."

On a rooftop not far away, the Shadow Servant 'Emiya' had already drawn his bow and aimed at this spot.

"Alright, leave it to us!"

Seeing Fujimaru Kaori and Matthew's subtle movements, Director Mary reminded Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was standing to the side, "If anything dangerous happens, you two half-baked fools should run away quickly. I... can still hold them off for a while. You are our last hope."

More than 40 people died. Although they were all cryogenically frozen and awaiting treatment, she didn't want to sacrifice even one person, let alone all of them…

While there may have been criticism before, when it comes to serious matters…

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded vigorously. Recalling the icy Fujimaru Kaori who had stomped the ground earlier, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had never properly witnessed the battles of Heroic Spirits, inexplicably had faith in her. He also agreed with Fujimaru Kaori's plan. Her plan sounded reckless, but when Mary saw the power she displayed, she chose to believe her as well.

Matthew's power is to protect, while Cú Chulainn is likely to be held back. At this time, Fujimaru Kaori's power is very important. As for where the power comes from, now is not the time to worry about that.

Fujimaru Kaori, carrying Fou, walked forward while petting her. On the surface, she appeared calm, but inside she was incredibly nervous. Having learned the 'secret technique,' she had never used it in real life, and she had no idea what the outcome would be.
