I'm just an internet cafe owner

This kind of thing didn't just happen to Hirai Enishi. Around the world, those who lost their wives and children because of the Crimson Denizens regained their memories with Kyubey's help and became magical girls.

Unfortunately, the karma of these people is not enough to resurrect the dead, and many of them, when given the opportunity to make a wish, make wishes that have nothing to do with the deceased.

At the same time, Kyubey's existence also functions similarly to an internet cafe system. As a guide, Kyubey prevents magical girls from harming those who have not committed any evil deeds. After all, while some Crimson Denizens do devour humans, they only consume the most heinous individuals, people whom internet cafe members would readily kill if they came across.

Chapter 570 Flame Haze, Magical Girl, Fall Guys?

On the outskirts of Misaki City, a black-haired, black-eyed girl holds a katana and gazes at the towering building in the city center. She is a Flame Haze, and has no name.

She came to this city to punish the evildoers of the Crimson World, but as soon as she arrived, she and her partner...

"A battle is taking place in this city."

The pendant hanging around her neck spoke: "Yes, one side in the battle uses a very special power. And the other side..."

The pendant named Alastor sensed the clash between two powerful forces within the city. These two forces were Yuji Sakai and Fariagni, a Crimson Denizen.

Fariagni, one of the top five strongest "kings" of modern times, is currently devouring cities in an attempt to turn his beloved servant into an entity alongside him. And today, someone came knocking on his door.

The person who came to their door was none other than Hirai En.

After several days of training, she was able to skillfully use her weapons to fight the enemy.

Let's go back a few hours.

"Another phosphorus particle taken down..."

Hirai En, inside the sealed barrier, watched Rinko disappear and the pedestrians on the street safely pass by, and breathed a sigh of relief. These past few days, she had been diligently learning combat. With Kyubey's guidance, she now knew how to use her weapons, how to utilize her encyclopedic weaponry to find the enemy's weaknesses, and then counterattack based on those weaknesses.

During her first battle, she suffered a serious injury due to a lack of skill. Fortunately, a magical girl's body can recover through a large amount of food, and after a day of feasting, she recovered and continued fighting.

Now, with her ample combat experience, she eliminated the enemy within their sealed barrier with near-instantaneous kills. Her combat prowess has now earned Kyubey's recognition.

"Great, you've already gained some combat experience."

Hearing Kyubey's praise, Hirai Enoki calmly asked, "Then can I go and take care of that guy Fariagni?"

As Kyubey was calculating the difference between the two, Hirai Yuki continued, "I have fifty million now."

Fifty million yen—she'd sold her house recently. According to Kyubey, she could have won with ten million yen, and now with fifty million and her extensive fighting experience, she was confident of victory.

Hearing this, Little Qiubi's eyes lit up: "Of course, with this much money you can use the All-Out Boost twice."

"That's fine."

Hirai Yui took a deep breath, looking at the weapon in her hand that resembled a magic book and the black and white sailor uniform she wore, and made her final decision.

To subdue Fariagni.

Anyway, she had already made up her mind not to go to high school. Her family had been killed by the Crimson World cultists, and so many ordinary people had been killed by them. She was going to punish the Crimson World cultists who were committing evil deeds in this world.

There is no trace of his parents, not even a single photograph remains. He can only see his parents and recall his past experiences through the power he gains from making a wish at the monastery.

"Then... let's fight."

Although Hirai Enishi is an ordinary middle school girl, her feelings for her parents, as a human being, make her decide to do everything in her power to eliminate her enemies.

Following the directions, she found Fariagni.

High up in the tower, Fariagni smiled at the girl before him: "Who are you?"

"The person who killed you."

Hirai En gave Fariagni no chance, launching an attack directly. Her weapon contained information about Fariagni's skills, weapons, and weaknesses. This Crimson Denizen's title of King was earned through her immense power.

However, at the same time, Hirai Enishi, having gained combat experience, finally understood why Kyubey had predicted that he would lose the battle back then, because the opponent's strength and Noble Phantasm were truly terrifying.

but…

"Barrier..."

Using her own magic, Hirai Yume pulled Fariagni into her own barrier before Fariagni could use her sealing technique. This was a magical barrier from a magical girl, even more unreasonable than sealing.

There's only one way to break the barrier: stop the magical girl's magic supply. And the way to stop the magical girl's magic supply is simple and brutal: kill her, or have her escape or surrender.

The battle began, attracting not only the girl who had just arrived in the city from outside, but also Yuuji Sakai, who was patrolling within the city.

As a customer of an internet cafe, Yuji Sakai naturally wouldn't become the subject of Little Kyubey's contract.

Therefore, he still doesn't know what Little Chubi does. However, out of a sense of responsibility, once he has gained some ability, he uses his spare time to patrol the entire city to prevent anyone from being devoured by phosphorus. At the same time, he is also learning how to fight from the big shots.

Sensing a fight breaking out in the city center, Yuji Sakai got up and decided to go and lend a hand.

Upon arriving near the tower in the city center, Yuuji Sakai sensed the presence of a magical barrier. He took out his summoning bell, summoned his older brother, and then transformed into a jelly bean and sat down in place.

After the eldest brother appeared, copied Sakai Yuji's attributes, and knew what to do, he rushed into the barrier.

Meanwhile, a girl from outside the city also arrived near the barrier.

"Strange, I clearly sensed this was the place, so why is it gone?"

The pendant on the girl's chest reminded her: "There are strange power fluctuations in that direction. Someone must have created a new barrier. This barrier is no less than a complete seal. Fighting from inside it is dangerous."

"A new barrier? How is that possible?"

Alastair: "If this power comes from the very origin of this world, then it is possible."

As a god in the Crimson Realm with the authority to judge, it knows many secrets that ordinary people cannot know.

"How do we get in?"

"Come closer, I'll try to lead you inside."

The girl tried to go inside, and just as she got close, she saw a "monster" sitting on the ground clapping. In this world, monsters only exist as Crimson Denizens, and even though Yuuji Sakai had no power, the girl still mistakenly took him for an enemy.

"A member of the Crimson World?"

The girl raised her hand to attack, while Yuuji Sakai sat on the ground watching the battle within the barrier. His older brother's arrival gave Yuuji Hirai, who was initially at a disadvantage, the power to fight Fariagni.

For safety reasons, Yuji Sakai transformed into a Fall Guy and is sitting on the ground clapping. Because the Fall Guy's appearance is too comical, and it's the middle of the night, he's mistaken for an enemy.

"Clang~~~"

Yuji Sakai felt as if his head had been chopped off. He instinctively looked up and saw a fiery-haired, scorching-eyed girl wielding a crimson katana that had struck his head.

At that moment, both of them fell silent. Yuji Sakai didn't know why the girl wanted to cut him, and the girl didn't know why this strange guy seemed completely unharmed after the stab.

This is neither science nor magic. If my own Nie Dian Zana hits me, I'll be injured even if I don't die. How come this strange guy in front of me looks completely fine?

Chapter 571 What kind of Pava is this? Love, Pava!

Inside the barrier, the avatar teardrop, which was assisting Hirai Enishi in battle, discovered that its bell-ringing tool had been attacked. After checking the situation outside and finding that there was no problem, it prioritized eliminating the more powerful enemy in front of it.

At that moment, Yuji Sakai looked up at the girl looking down at him, reached out his fingerless hand and grabbed the hilt of his sword, asking first, "Who are you?"

Feeling immense force, the girl tried to draw her sword, but the overwhelming power prevented her from pulling out her weapon.

She struggled to pull the weapon from Sakai Yuu's hand, gritting her teeth as she did so: "Flame Haze!"

Yuji Sakai tightened his grip on the knife: "No, no, no! My question is, who are you?"

Flame Haze!

The flames on the girl's body shone even brighter, but they had no effect on Yuji Sakai.

Yuji Sakai continued, "Flame Haze is a specific term for a group. What I want to ask is, when you leave the Flame Haze group and become an individual, who are you?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! The one who's going to kill you is a Flame Haze, prepare to die!"

Yuji Sakai stood up and grabbed the blade: "So here's the question: who killed me? And who are you going to kill?"

"It was the Flame Haze warriors of Nietono no Shana who killed you! Die! Crimson World!"

This time, Shana drew her sword, regained control of the weapon, and prepared to strike again.

Shana hadn't expected that this guy in front of her would actually take her full-force attack without dodging or flinching. It was normal that she hadn't been hurt just now because it was a test, but this time she was confident.

However, she then witnessed a bizarre scene: Yuji Sakai took a flaming knife to the head, while simultaneously grabbing Shana's body and lifting her up.

"You're going to kill a Crimson Denizen, but I'm not!"

As soon as Yuji Sakai said those words, Shana's enraged sword suddenly stopped.

"Huh? Aren't you...?"

In Shana's understanding, even Flame Haze could grow into human form; those who didn't resemble humans in this world were either Crimson Denizens or their servants, like Rinko. But this one in front of her actually claimed to be human?

Alastair added at this point, "He has no strength of a disciple."

The Fall Guy's two-meter-tall body was practically a giant to the girl, but she wasn't afraid of enemies. Just as she was wondering, Yuuji Sakai calmly said, "Too much trouble. I'll just call you Shana. Shana! I'm not an enemy. This is my special ability."

Shana exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're a Flame Haze?"

If the opponent were a Flame Haze, this strike could accidentally injure an ally. However, according to Shana's memory, some Flame Haze do transform into Crimson Denizens during battle, but their battle form is easily identifiable and couldn't possibly be like this candy-like character in front of her.

People are so calm.

Yuji Sakai shook his head: "I'm not a Flame Haze either. I'm just an ordinary high school student about to enroll. There's a magical girl here fighting against the Crimson Denizens, and I'm just keeping watch."

"Magical girl?"

Shana seemed confused by the term, but Alastor explained, "She transformed her own karma into magic, abandoned her human identity to become a magical girl, and fought against the Crimson Denizens. This is the latest information I've gathered."

Magical girls are springing up like mushrooms after rain in every corner of the world, and Little Kyubey, a creature that seems to have appeared out of thin air, has caught Alastor's attention. In his understanding, magical girls are special beings born to resist the Crimson Denizens who seek to erode this world.

It had no idea about the specific details or the magical girl's combat abilities.

"Are those magical girls fighting inside? I need to go help! And that other guy..."

Yuji Sakai introduces himself: "Yuji Sakai!"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! Got it, Sakai Yuuji! I'm going up to help, you can stay here." Since the other party was neither a Flame Haze nor a Crimson Denizen, Shana didn't want to drag him into the battle.

Shana stood up, ready to enter the barrier, but upon reaching it, she froze. Unlike Feng Jue, she had no idea how to enter this barrier. The powerful magic emanating from it gave her the intuition that being attacked would result in severe injury. This intuition made her stop and ask the necklace on her chest, "Do you know how to get in?"

Alastair: "I don't know, I suggest we ask him."

"... "

Shana turned her head: "Then do you know how to get in?"

Yuji Sakai: "Go inside."

"You fool me?"

Shana was a little angry. Did this person in front of her not know how dangerous Crimson Denizens were? And now he was still joking?

However, Yuji Sakai's explanation froze the expression on her face: "According to Kyubey, this is called a magic barrier. As long as it is a friendly force, anyone can enter it directly. Enemies will notify the barrier caster when they get close."
