I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Ah, this..."

Shirogane Miyuki didn't speak, he just nodded vigorously.

"Simple. Christmas is coming up soon. I'll prepare a private room with a festive atmosphere just for you. Whether it's purely festive or romantic is up to you. You and your invited person will go directly into the room. You can invite them to play games or do other things, but..."

Liu Yuan stuck his finger in front of Shirogane Yuki and reminded him, "There are surveillance cameras in the private room, so don't do anything inappropriate."

"Hey hey hey?"

Shirogane Miyuki blushed, while Kisara smiled and said, "My sir, remember, confession is a victory clarion call, not a battle cry. Don't be secretive during your confession; remember to say things the other person can understand, and don't play riddles."

Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki suddenly asked curiously, "Excuse me, Kisara-san... have you ever confessed your feelings?"

"You came here intending to confess your feelings, but someone confessed to you first and then harshly rejected you?"

Mugeng's tone was somewhat uncertain. She was certain that Liu Yuan had initiated the conversation and agreed yesterday, and that he had been rejected.

"You were rejected?"

Kisara tried hard to recall what happened last night and said, "It's not exactly a rejection, it's just that I can't date or get married for the time being because of my status, right? Once I'm more mature, it'll be fine, right? Boss, what do you think of my experience?"

Liu Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "See with your eyes, hear with your ears, and feel with your heart."

"You're so witty."

I don't know if it is

Was it just Shirogane Miyuki's imagination? He had a feeling that the interaction between the two in front of him seemed bolder than before? What was Kisara doing? Was she openly taking advantage of Liu Yuan? Were all girls this terrifying?

“Belimugeng, she’s having a sex spree. But she’s telling the truth.”

"When confessing your feelings, you should say things that the other person can understand... right?"

Miyuki Shirogane tried hard to absorb the meaning of those words, but then he suddenly thought of something and asked somewhat shyly, "Excuse me... does confessing first mean you'll be the loser in both of us?"

"what?"

"what?"

Liu Yuan and Mu Geng exchanged a glance, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

What kind of thinking is this? Is confessing first the only way to lose? Are all students these days thinking like this? This…is a little scary, isn't it?

The two exchanged glances, and finally Liu Yuan placed his hand on Shirogane Yuuki's shoulder: "Do you know what the real loser is in a relationship? The biggest loser is someone who clearly likes someone but insists on pretending to be indifferent and not liking them, and in the end, the person who likes them gives up on that relationship and likes someone else. That kind of person is the biggest loser. Whoever confesses first is not the loser, my lad!"

"what?"

At this moment, Shirogane Miyuki was completely bewildered, while Angela was deeply moved. As an AI, how could she have such a perception without knowing the details of her supervisor's relationship with the person he liked?

In their world, it seems that many people have this attitude towards the topic of love: this time, they have finally met a serious person.

Imagine at Lobotomy Corporation, where employees might hit it off one minute and then go off to their respective lounges for some fun during breaks. And if their significant other dies that night, they might find someone new the next day. Yet, Shirogane Miyuki is still agonizing over whether confessing first will lead to defeat?

Shirogane Miyuki fell silent, then asked softly, "How can I be sure if the other person likes me?"

Liu Yuan sighed and patted his shoulder: "It's up to you. You can use indirect metaphors or be direct. If your current situations aren't suitable, you can first explain your circumstances and then your views on love and marriage. If it's not a good fit, the other person will take the initiative to give up on your feelings and distance themselves slightly. If it's a good fit, she will also tell you the answer in her own way. But before that, my personal suggestion is to bring the person you like over for a fun two-person game! After playing, you can see if you want to confess. After all, quite a few people have gotten together after playing this game."

However, Liu Yuan forgot to add that quite a few people broke up after playing this game. Although it didn't have as many players as Overcooked.

Chapter 273 Silver Imperial Journey Takes the Initiative

As planned, a week later, in the afternoon at the school's student council, Shirogane Miyuki, seeing that no one was around, spoke directly to Shinomiya Kaguya, who was conducting approvals.

"Shinomiya, I found a really interesting shop. They have a really fun two-player game. Would you like to come along later?"

"Playing games? Sorry, I don't have time."

Kaguya Shinomiya, her mind completely absorbed in documents, rejected all entertainment from the outside world almost without thinking. But then her body suddenly froze.

"Wait? The president just... asked me out? I declined?"

Kaguya Shinomiya's pupils dilated in shock. Her body and mind instinctively believed that Miyuki Shirogane would never extend such an invitation. This caused her body and subconscious to directly interpret the invitation as useless, instinctively choosing to refuse.

"Hey hey!"

Self-blame, regret, and all sorts of negative emotions swirled in Kaguya Shinomiya's mind. If time could turn back, she would have done nothing but wait for Miyuki Shirogane to invite her and immediately agreed. But now it was too late for regrets.

Meanwhile, Shirogane Miyuki, who had been directly rejected, felt utterly devastated. He even imagined Kaguya Shinomiya's words.

"Oh? The student council president wants to ask me out on a date? How cute."

At that moment, Shirogane Miyuki felt his Dao heart was almost destroyed, but he quickly recovered. This was because he had sought guidance from his senior.

According to Kisei, you shouldn't accept an invitation the first time. You should assess the situation and decide whether to accept it without thinking. If you are rejected without thinking, you should joke around with it and then invite them again.

Liu Yuan also explained that an unthinking refusal could have two possibilities: one is that the brain believes you would never invite them, and they subconsciously refuse when you do. The second is that they are genuinely uninterested, or even completely uninterested in you. Whether it's the first or second time, inviting them again is always the right thing to do.

"Ahem, are you really not going? This new store has some really realistic and fun games that can help us improve our reaction speed and adaptability."

Upon hearing the invitation once again, Kaguya Shinomiya felt as if she were floating on air.

"The president invited me again! The president invited me again!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's heart was like a rollercoaster, falling into hell one moment and rising into heaven the next.

But at that very moment, her mind began to race, analyzing Shirogane Miyuki's words. This invitation probably wasn't a date invitation, because the tone was calm and clearly purposeful. But what if the purpose was an excuse?

Admittedly, Kaguya Shinomiya guessed correctly in an instant; however, she made a mistake that many people make: she ruled out a correct answer first.

"impossible,

The student council president is definitely not that kind of person. I can't refuse, but I can't just agree directly either. If I agree directly, the president will definitely think I accepted the confession, and the end result will be defeat!

Considering the possibility of defeat, Kaguya Shinomiya made up her mind.

She appeared to be thinking nonchalantly, but her brain was actually about to overload.

Based on her own habits, after determining that she had enough time to think, she spoke up: "If it's the president who invited me, that's fine. Is it just me alone?"

Yes, it's just you.

"Hey hey hey?"

For a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya froze: "Should I change my clothes? After all, we're going out..."

"No need, this outfit is fine. Shinomiya looks great in this outfit too."

"Hey hey hey?"

The sudden straight shot was like a bullet hitting the bullseye, catching everyone off guard.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Shinomiya? Don't worry, it's just a normal invitation. That place is very interesting..."

At that moment, Shirogane Miyuki felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He wondered if he had been too frivolous. Should he have been more composed?

One was filled with wild excitement, the other with wild tension.

Outside the door, the two could faintly hear Fujiwara Chika humming.

At this moment, the two, who had never confessed their feelings, thought of the same thing as if by telepathy.

"We absolutely cannot let Fujiwara Chika disrupt our plans!"

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly picked up the organized documents: "There are some problems with these applications. President, I'll go and deal with them first. When do we leave?"

"Two hours here."

"it is good!"

This is a very safe time. Based on experience, no matter what, Fujiwara Chika will go home an hour later without exception. Only in this way can she avoid this cancer of the earth.

The moment Fujiwara Chika pushed open the student council door, Shinomiya Kaguya walked out carrying a large number of documents.

"Huh? Kaguya? What's wrong?"

"There have been some problems with the applications. I'll go and investigate."

Do you need my help?

"No need~"

Kaguya Shinomiya hurriedly left with the documents, but her expression suddenly changed when she entered the room.

Taking a deep sniff of the air, Fujiwara Chika received a shocking realization: "This is... the smell of love!"

Although she could sense the aura, Shirogane Miyuki was now incredibly shrewd. After all, very few people who could become managers at Lobotomy Corporation and still survive were simpletons.

One hour and fifty minutes later, at the entrance of the student council, Kaguya Shinomiya held a mirror and kept checking herself to see if she had done anything impolite.

"Is there anything else I need to be careful about? Is there anything else I need to do?"

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya in this state, Hayasaka Ai sighed and said, "My personal suggestion is to get involved and see what he has to say."

"it is good!"

Kaguya Shinomiya agreed, but after she went inside, a gasp of surprise came from within the room. Sensing something was wrong, Ai Hayasaka rushed in, only to find no one there.

"What...what's going on?"

Hayasaka Ai's expression tensed up. Kaguya Shinomiya had only been in the room for a few minutes, and then she disappeared? What... what kind of supernatural event is this? Could it be a Stand attack?!

As a maid working for a large conglomerate, she knew that a mysterious power called Stand existed in this world, and she couldn't think of any other possibility besides Stand attacks.

Where was Kaguya Shinomiya at this moment? She and Miyuki Shirogane appeared simultaneously in a private room at the internet cafe. Looking at the suddenly appearing room, the computers inside, and the seemingly cozy environment...

Kaguya Shinomiya's face turned red instantly.

"President, President, I...I?"

"Shinomiya, don't be nervous. Come on, put on these glasses and let's meet in the game world."

"Okay...okay."

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't know how to refuse. In such a small room, she could clearly see her own heartbeat. She could only follow Miyuki Shirogane's lead.

At the front desk, Liu Yuan, while munching on sunflower seeds, asked, "Do you think the Silver Imperial Journey will work out?"

Kisara grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and muttered, "If there's good food and you don't call me, will it work? I bet five cents it won't. If Shirogane Miyuki had your kind of slacking off and shameless audacity, he wouldn't have dragged this out until now."

Liu Yuan pondered, "I don't know if it will work out. I'm just curious about how well they're playing the game. It's a pity that we can't peek at their game footage for privacy reasons."

As for the situation of the game on site, it can only be described as a disaster. The two of them are so shy that they dare not have too much close contact even in the game. What kind of sparks can they ignite in this game?

Chapter 274 The Confessor Loses? Sorry, Starting Today, I'll Take the Initiative

Kaguya Shinomiya, somewhat dazed, entered the game with Miyuki Shirogane's help. The moment she entered the game, she was amazed by the scenes within.

"This is...a game?"
