I'm just an internet cafe owner

The fragrance was unlike anything she'd ever smelled before, and the memories it brought back, along with the warm feeling on her body, made her almost lose control. She looked at her body; she was currently disguised as a little girl. If she continued like this, getting free food and drinks shouldn't be a problem.

She knocked on the door.

The knight inside was cutting meat, eating, and drinking soup when he heard a knock at the door. He opened it and, seeing the blonde, unfamiliar girl at the door, asked curiously, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Brother Knight, my name is Penny, and I smell something so delicious..."

"Penny" hesitated, and the knight looked at the girl's health bar with a question mark above it, falling into deep thought.

TT

Knight: "Senior, what does it mean if someone has a health bar with a question mark on it?"

Spider: "A red health bar proves that this person is a pervert. According to the boss, a blood-red health bar is a once-in-a-century pervert who completely violates all human morality. If it's a question mark, it means either the person in front of you is hiding their identity, or this person is your enemy, but they are not a pervert; they are a strong person who is hostile to you for some reason. Simple enemies don't have health bars."

Knight: "Should we kill this kind of person?"

Spider: "Do we have a grudge?"

Knight: "Not for now?"

The knight recalled his enemies, and even those of his country—there weren't any for the time being. However, there was a possibility of invaders appearing in the future, and the knights were working hard to prepare for such attacks.

Spider: "Then we don't need to kill them! Since we're already here, let's stop all the tragedies as quickly as possible!"

Knight: "Resolve the tragedy? How do I do that?"

Spider: "Following the boss's teachings, you can become powerful enough to stop all enemies, beat up both sides, and sit down to communicate. At worst, beat up the side you don't like and then communicate. Relax~ Enemies are nothing more than that. What's this about fighting for the race, fighting for the world? Just resolve it, right? If all else fails, just find the Circular Principle or the Sail Tower. Both of them can handle complex requests. Just choose whoever you like! See the sun in the sky? With enough money, they can treat the sun like a basketball."

As they were talking, Spider sent a video. In the video, a pink-haired girl who looked very "wise" was filming three stars dancing in the universe.

That's right, this is exactly what Madoka-senpai did in the Code Geass world. Liu Yuan casually filmed it back then and kept it as a promotional music video for The Principle of Cycles.

Well, while the behavior is comical, the fact that she can use the sun as a racket is enough to prove this "god's" power. Madoka often does unreliable things, but the power she indirectly demonstrates is arguably the best promotional video.

The knight fell silent. He had known that internet cafes were amazing, but he never imagined that this amazing internet cafe would have such a powerful entity, and that such a powerful entity could be hired for money? Was this for real?

Oh well, this little girl in front of me is pitifully weak, even though she's a question mark. I'll just treat her like a hungry little girl.

The knight chose to give up thinking; after all, thinking was too tiring. He'd leave that to someone with a sharper mind. Since this question mark didn't necessarily mean a mortal enemy, he figured if the other party wanted some, let them have it. He could always go online tomorrow and buy it there.

Having considered this, he spoke directly to the disguised Beth: "Please come in."

"Thank you."

Chapter 554 The 'Invader' Influenced by Food and Idols

In her disguise, Beth was very polite. Upon entering the knight's room, she carefully observed the small hut. It was a normal single-person hut, but there was a pot on the table and some seasonings next to it. However, upon seeing these seasonings, her expression changed.

"Garlic sauce?"

"You know him?"

"Hmm~ I've heard Mom mention it~"

Beth said

To be honest, there is no such thing as garlic sauce in this country. She only saw many things by looking at the documents left by her parents when she was very young.

The knight explained, "This... um... is a seasoning from Earth. It seems to be from some kind of Chinese cuisine!"

The knight didn't understand either, but there was relevant information on TT, so he just said it directly.

But Beth's expression changed upon hearing this. Earth? Chinese cuisine? No! The knight in front of her should be a native Canterbury. How does he know these things? How does he know information about Earth?

However, her thoughts quickly vanished as the knight served her a bowl of stew.

Looking at the stewed meat and dipping sauce in front of her, Beth swallowed hard and ate it directly.

"So delicious!!!"

The moment the stewed meat entered her mouth, Beth felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

She felt as if she were slowly flying over a grassland, soaring in the sky, with a gentle breeze brushing her cheeks—a feeling she couldn't tear herself away from.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she regained consciousness. Looking at the slices of meat in the bowl, her face was completely undisguised, and her voice was filled with a hint of happiness as she spoke: "So delicious, what kind of meat is this?"

"Stewed meat, come on! Have a sip of the broth."

"Um…"

Beth took the broth the knight offered and sipped it slowly. As the broth entered her body, she felt a warm current flowing through her. It was just an ordinary bowl of soup, yet it gave her the feeling of being in a hot spring, and inexplicably made her feel that all her years of hard work had been worthwhile.

At the same time, a feeling of happiness welled up inside her. How long had it been since she had felt this way? It seemed that all she had ever experienced was pain, never warmth…

Seeing Beth suddenly fall silent, the knight took out another portion of ingredients.

"My cooking skills aren't as good as those two, but following the recipes they left behind, I should be able to make some dishes that you'll like. Would you like to give it a try?"

"besides?"

The knight pulled a large pig's leg from his backpack: "That's right! See this? A ham from a live pig!"

Anyway, the knight didn't know why a live pig could be eaten raw, and when eating it, it could taste ham, suckling pig, and sandwich. Since things like traveling to different worlds and paying for gods already exist, it's not surprising that a live cooked food like this would appear, right?

Eating alone is less enjoyable, but through the guidance of his seniors on TT, the knight also learned some ways to enjoy life, such as watching videos while eating.

The knight took out a mobile phone, connected to the internet cafe's special video website, and randomly selected a video to watch the live stream.

Coincidentally, the knight opened an idol program, a pre-recorded show by the Twin Wings idol group. This group is now not only wildly popular in their own world, but has also become a well-known idol group in various other worlds, attracting many fans after being uploaded to video platforms.

"This is..."

Beth's eyes widened as she watched the video playing in the small square.

Knight searched for information about the Twin Wings group on TT, which described them as: "An idol group from Earth called Twin Wings, a famous and super popular idol group."

When the knights were introduced, the two people in the video started singing and dancing.

Beth watched the video, her eyes widening involuntarily.

Earth? Could it be old footage? Why does this person in front of me have it? Why do people from this country have this?

However, her doubts gradually disappeared as the two idols sang in the video. While eating, drinking, and watching, Beth felt a strange sense of peace and a desire to cry. At the same time, watching the scenes in the video solidified some of her beliefs.

The entire video is seven minutes long. In those seven minutes, she slowly ate the roasted meat that the knight had just made, drank the cola that the knight had brought out, and watched the music from Earth. She felt like she didn't want to leave.

At the same time, she also began to wonder about the knight's identity. If he were just an ordinary person, that would be one thing, but why was he a knight? Why... him?

One video, two videos, three videos. She stayed at the knight's house, eating and watching. The knight glanced at the time; it was almost training time, so he spoke to Beth.

"I've prepared a lot of food and snacks. You can eat while you watch. I have to go to training now."

"Training? What kind of training?"

Beth only then realized that something was wrong.

"Basic training! I want to become the guardian of this country!"

As he spoke, the knight picked up the Screaming Duck. That's right! He had found this thing when he was buying things in the player shop. According to the description, it seemed to be an 80-level short sword made by Suzuki Satoru. It had powerful attack power and weapon skills, and excellent magic adaptability.

That's not the point. The point is that this thing screams when it attacks, taunting and humiliating the enemy. With this weapon in hand, the knight also agreed with Spider-Girl's words. Indeed, the stranger the weapon, the stronger the power; he felt this weapon was better than any he had ever encountered, and could even perfectly unleash his full power.

In addition, the people who gave her some items in the game also gave her a set in real life. After all, for Spider-Woman and the others, these things were like beginner outfits, and they had plenty at home.

A white silk hood covering her face, eyes with a comical expression, making her look light and airy.

A pink armor that floats by, and a shield made of a soft, squishy slime body.

"puff!"

Seeing the knight put on the outfit, Beth couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Are you serious about this? Can this really beat someone?"

Beth felt she could kill a hundred of these knights by herself. Come on! Wearing such flashy clothes on the battlefield would make her a target, and besides, her equipment made her look weak.

The knight explained earnestly, "The weirder the weapon, the harder it hits. The pinker the equipment, the cooler the moves. You wouldn't understand!"

After watching the amazing plays of various top players in the game, he had complete confidence in his own equipment.

"I'm going to training! You can just tap on whatever you want to watch on this phone. There are a lot of fun things on Earth, and the big shots even invited me to visit them."

"?"

Beth was completely bewildered. What was going on? Going to Earth? Wasn't Earth gone? What was this guy going to Earth for? What on earth had happened?

Just as she was pondering this, she received a communication from her subordinates. The troops had assembled and were ready to attack at any time.

However, upon hearing this message, Beth issued a new order without hesitation: "Cease all offensive actions for now, await my command, and..."

Beth needs to find a way to pass the information she obtained from the knight to the "savior"—it must be passed on to him.

Chapter 555 The New Guest is in the Way

The internet cafe is open again. After finishing his training yesterday, the Cavaliers and Beth ate at home from morning till night, and then from night till day. In the end, Beth hoped that the Cavaliers could take her to see Earth.

The knight thought for a moment and agreed. According to his understanding, he only needed to invite adults into the internet cafe.

So when he invited her, Beth came.

Since Beth was brought in by an elderly person, Mizuno Ai briefly explained the precautions for the internet cafe, and then left everything else to Knight.

The knight was also very helpful, bringing Beth to join Spider's team.

However, when they were forming a team, Spider-Man suddenly became very gossipy and asked Beth curiously, "Hey! What's your relationship with that guy?"

Beth joked, "Hmm...ex-girlfriend?"

Spider-Man had an "I understand now" look on his face: "I see! I see!"

So, the rumor that Beth was the Knight's ex-girlfriend began to spread. As for the instigator, the Knight? It's still unknown. He's currently fighting with a sword disguised as a screaming chicken and some food.

During the battle, Beth also used the Screaming Chicken Greatsword made by Suzuki Satoru. After using it for a while, she found that it was quite useful. It would make the weapon squeal when it hit a monster, which was very fun.

And so, the style of this team's gaming journey gradually changed.

However, it's perfectly normal for the art style to be different in an internet cafe. Except for newbies who have just arrived at the internet cafe and have no one to guide them, whose art style might be a little normal, once they've played for a while or been guided by other players, their art style will definitely become abnormal.

While the new knight was happily playing games, a very interesting guest came to the fourth branch, managed by Alicia and Bronya.

Ashley Graham, commonly known as the troublesome pear.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the internet cafe knew this new customer, but they probably knew the "Impatiens" six years later. Although the "Impatiens" is now an adult, it will be more than six years before he is kidnapped and waits for Leon to rescue him.

At this time, Ashley was young and pretty, and her short blonde hair and quirky appearance made her very popular.

However, she was nervously looking around because she had just received a call from her father telling her not to leave the house. Who would have thought that she would end up in such a strange internet cafe in the blink of an eye?
