I'm just an internet cafe owner

However, the moment he unleashed his weapon, a sentence inexplicably popped into Subaru Natsuki's head.

"You're not qualified! You're not qualified."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Subaru Natsuki in Battle

Inside the internet cafe, Kisara, who had just finished a thorough cleaning, lay on a chair looking as if he were about to die.

"I want to die, I want to die, I want to die."

Liu Yuan tapped the table: "Want to die? Fine! Then I'll be all alone today."

"Wait for me for five minutes, no! Just one minute, just let me catch my breath for one minute."

Kisara took a deep breath, sprang to his feet, and quickly turned on his computer and put on his glasses. While waiting for Liu Yuan to book a room, Kisara asked curiously, "Boss, if we can give away weapons in the game, then if someone completes the game, can't we just mindlessly give away weapons?"

Kisara felt this was a bug. If that were the case, all sorts of amazing weapons and skills would just be thrown out, so how would you even get through the game?

"Huh? You don't need to worry about that. The weapons that are sent out can only be used once. They will return after one battle. And they have no power at all. That golden wave is just for show."

"Huh? Isn't this setting him up for failure?"

"No! I was just saying that even if he wasn't qualified, I gave him a weapon that already belonged to him. He's strong enough, so it's not a big problem for him to use the weapon he can get temporarily."

"What if he doesn't clear the level?"

"The system will curse him, causing random body parts to shorten by five centimeters; those shorter than five centimeters will simply disappear."

. "

"... "

Mu Geng blushed, while Liu Yuan teased, "You're really quick to think outside the box. But if you ask me, losing five centimeters isn't so bad. What's truly terrifying are the organs in your body. What do you think would happen if your brain or heart were five centimeters shorter?"

"Tsk, that's terrifying."

"What's so scary? If he wanted to, I would lend him money even if he really had no money, so he could become the king of Elden."

Kisara was astonished: "So kind of you?"

"Anyway, we'll definitely get the money back. Enough talk, let's get started! We'll play one chapter today and then go to sleep."

Liu Yuan noticed Natsuki Subaru's unusual behavior these past few days. To resolve his current troubles, he was even resorting to starting a new game to acquire equipment. This wouldn't do. He didn't have any pay-to-win games available right now, and how much could he possibly spend on a buy-to-play game? He needed to keep Subaru online for extended periods and encourage him to make some additional purchases.

At the same time, as Natsuki Subaru raised the sword formed from his divine body, the thought of 'You are not qualified' kept flashing through his mind. But as he swung his weapon, golden flames appeared on the ground and advanced forward.

The sacred, godlike golden flames continued to advance, consuming a significant amount of Subaru Natsuki's spiritual energy with each meter they went. But it didn't matter; he had an unlimited supply of Blue Drops.

If a drop of dew enters the stomach, within fifteen seconds, it will possess almost limitless energy to maintain this power.

At that moment, Emilia and Rem beside her both showed shocked expressions. They had imagined what kind of power such a sacred weapon could possess, but after actually seeing it used, they couldn't help but marvel.

"Amelia, be careful, he's not in good condition. He's probably not qualified to use this weapon; forcing his way in would likely cause him immense strain..."

"what?"

Emilia's heart tightened. The two of them, who had been complete strangers before, were now facing a powerful enemy together. And despite Emilia's witch-like appearance, Emilia harbored no ill will towards her.

Although we are now fighting side by side, it seems that I am more like the one being protected.

Don't think like that!

Parker whispered, "He can't control his weapon perfectly, which can lead to all sorts of unexpected things happening in a fight. He might even need your protection if he fails."

"I will protect him."

Emilia's tone was firm.

Rem nodded in agreement; she knew she wouldn't be able to contribute much in a battle of this magnitude. But whatever happened next, she would do her best to protect Subaru.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Natsuki Subaru felt as if his soul was being burned, and the words "You are not qualified" appeared on his entire soul.

"Qualifications, I..."

"Defeat Radagan and become the King of Elden!"

"I will, I absolutely will, become the King of Elden!"

Subaru Natsuki's tone was unusually firm, and his voice gradually changed as his will shifted.

"My king, I will be waiting for you inside the golden tree."

With the last sentence, the previously flickering light became more resolute, and golden waves swept across the entire land.

"what?"

Sloth realized how insignificant its power was in the face of the flames that kept surging toward them, flames that seemed capable of scorching the soul.

"Sloth! It really makes one lazy. That guy... Hahahaha! Until we meet again."

Sloth clutched his face, his expression contorted. The flames didn't seem fast, but in the blink of an eye, they were upon him. Escape, he had to escape quickly; this power was beyond his ability to withstand.

As for the other guys? They're no longer important. Those who can control such power are not people I can afford to mess with. It's not too late to capture Emilia later when things get tougher.

After using a combat technique once, Subaru Natsuki's weapon disappeared, but he sensed that the weapon was waiting for him, waiting for the time when he could truly wield it.

"I will, I definitely will."

His mind returned to normal, and the holy flame continued to burn, but the Archbishop of Sloth had already fled. Some of the monsters and cultists nearby had escaped unharmed.

"Everyone, we're about to go in. We need to take care of these people too."

Beatrice and her gang asked, "How are you feeling? It's not that we're concerned about you, it's just that we're afraid you'll cause us trouble if you die."

"Thank you, I feel pretty good."

Rem sighed, "You should get some rest. Leave the rest to me."

All that remained beneath the flames were charred remains and some magical beasts that had managed to escape. Because the flames spread gradually from near to far and from small to large, some of the magical beasts that charged forward first were unaffected.

These monsters are much easier to deal with. Subaru Natsuki just holds up his shield, and Emilia, the mage, just spams her skills without thinking.

This was the first time Emilia had ever felt so at ease. Subaru's reactions and predictions were incredibly precise. He always managed to block and deflect the monsters' attacks before they arrived, turning them into stationary targets for Emilia to deal damage.

Beatrice and Ram tried to do it too, but they found it extremely difficult. There was no sense of coordination whatsoever; it was more like each person was working independently.

On the surface, Subaru Natsuki appears to be fighting very seriously, but deep down he yearns for this weapon. He must become the King of Elden and obtain the Divine Body Transformation Sword. This isn't because of its coolness or power, but because of a promise he made to himself—a promise to the weapon.

"Wait? Right?"

The promise of weapons?

Natsuki Subaru felt something was off. He wanted to think about it carefully, but seeing the powerful monster in front of him still able to fight back, he withdrew his thoughts and decided to think about it later.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Newcomer Nyaruko

Inside the internet cafe, as the new day began, Natsuki Subaru shared his experiences from the previous day.

"That's it, in a flash, a large group of enemies fell down. I can't even imagine how strong the boss really is."

Fujimaru Kaori, who was chatting with Natsuki Subaru, nodded and said, "I have fought alongside the boss before, but..."

Recalling how Liu Yuan came to help, she didn't seem to have seen how he dealt with the Heroic Spirit. All she saw after winning was Liu Yuan waving from a distance.

What's the most fun thing about surfing the internet in an internet cafe? It's not just playing games, but also bragging to each other. They'd been surfing together for a while now and had exchanged a few words. Minato Namikaze and Tina, overhearing their conversation, temporarily stopped their game.

Minato Namikaze replied, "Based on my analysis of your condition during our battle yesterday, in a real fight, without using any trump cards, I could only manage a draw with the boss, but I don't know if the boss has any trump cards."

Holding the Coke she bought today, Tina recalled, "Kisara told me that the boss is a very accurate shot. He can hit exactly where he points. He's really good."

"If I have the chance, I'd really like to have a real-life discussion with the boss!"

Minato Namikaze felt a pang of emotion; surfing the internet here these days had given him a long-lost sense of comfort. There wasn't so much backstabbing and scheming, and everyone came from different worlds.

While they were chatting, Fujimaru Kaori asked Liu Yuan, who was reading a book at the front desk, with curiosity, "Boss, I've noticed that there are only a few machines. Is it impossible to add more machines to attract new customers?"

"No, if I had one more customer, I could have expanded the shop and hired new staff. It's just that you guys aren't very helpful; you can't bring me a few more customers."

“It’s not that I’m always busy and don’t have time. When I told them I was going out to play, they all said they had to study and train hard before heading to the first singularity and couldn’t rest. Now, the whole Chaldea makes me seem like I have a lot of free time.”

Tina said somewhat dejectedly, "I...have no friends..."

Minato Namikaze explained helplessly, "My wife is about to give birth, and there are too many people watching over her, so it's not convenient to bring her along. Oh, by the way..."

Minato Namikaze suddenly remembered this and invited Subaru Natsuki and Kaori Fujimaru, "Would you two have some time in a few days? My lover is being targeted by some people, and I would like to ask for your help..."

Liu Yuan interjected, "Not for now, multi-world travel isn't supported. But it'll probably be available when the internet cafe expands again. They can't get through, but I can. If it gets too dangerous, just call me. I can probably handle enemies of average strength."

The lifelike teardrop was a wonderful item that Liu Yuan fell in love with after using it just once. In the game, his older brother helped him slay the Ominous Demon, the Valkyrie, and even Radagan.

In his second playthrough, for the sake of excitement, he stopped using these methods and relied solely on brute force.

"Really? I'll have to trouble you then, boss."

"Hey, if you really find this too much trouble, can you help me find someone? Anyone will do, just one person. Remember, a person, not a ghost!"

Mary, who was sleeping soundly inside the summoning bell, sensed that someone was persecuting her.

Fujimaru Kaori then complained, "I'm worried about one thing now. We brought people here, but then new people came. What if we run out of machines? Will you be able to just bring in more on the spot?"

Upon hearing this, Kisara chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "What if a new person comes today? Then the boss can just add more machines, and you guys can bring people to play too."

She had barely finished speaking when the internet cafe door was pushed open.

The person who arrived was a 'girl', a cute young woman with long silver hair who greeted everyone: "Hello everyone!"

Welcome to 4D Space Internet Cafe!

Liu Yuan and Mu Geng arrived at the door at the same time to greet the newlyweds, but before Liu Yuan could speak, the newlyweds spoke first.

"Internet cafe? Do they have some of the best games from around the world here?"

The girl named Nyaruko had a sparkle in her eyes like stars.

"The specific rules are here."

"My 'Cthulhu profanity' is so expensive?"

What did Nyaruko see? The net from the previous day was going to wipe out her entire day's income at the Space Patrol Bureau.

"No, no, it's too expensive, too expensive."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Dear customer, this is a real-life experience version of the game, so of course it will be more expensive."

"What?! A game with a realistic experience? Wow, is the technology in this other world really that advanced? No, I need to do some calculations..."
