I'm just an internet cafe owner

Reality and virtuality no longer mattered; all she knew was that her daughter was dead, and all her painstaking efforts to save her had been in vain. Even better, she knew the culprit was the Demon King. If the Demon King hadn't done this, her daughter wouldn't have died. Since the Demon King had committed such a heinous act, today she, the hero, would slay him.

In a corner of the internet cafe, Lucifer watched the scene of a powerful character who was making the real Wu Xiao scream in terror using only ordinary weapons, and couldn't help but swallow hard: "Is this game really that scary?"

Elsil said in a deep voice, "If you ask me for my opinion, the games in our store are so-so; I played them and was completely unmoved. But this game is copied from that store, where the Demon Lord cried for a long time before recovering. Besides, the ending of our game is fake; the real ending is very beautiful. What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Lucifer swallowed hard, then covered his face. "Hero! I know nothing, I've never even played the game. He knows, he knows the truth, he knows the real ending. Go find him!!!"

Lucifer pointed at Elsil, while Yusa Emi, with her left hand gripping Makoto's neck, reached for Elsil with her right.

"Help!!!"

Elsil's cries for help echoed from inside the internet cafe. A few minutes later, Lucifer's cries for help pierced the entire room: "I didn't do anything, ah!!!"

after one day

When the 4D Space Internet Cafe reopened, Takeo Masao, bruised and battered, led Emi Yusa into the cafe: "****"

Because he was beaten so badly, Shin-Owuo couldn't even utter a single word.

At this moment, Kisara, who witnessed this scene in the internet cafe, complained to Liu Yuan, "It's only been a few days, and he's already been beaten up like this."

Liu Yuan: "It's not a big problem. Anyway, his ideal was to make the Demon Realm vibrant in the future, and he has achieved that."

Chapter 585 Keep Working! The Hero (Bonus Chapter)

"*****!"

Shin'o Takeo was so badly beaten by Yusa Emi that he couldn't even speak. Normally, if the hero were to beat him like this, he would fight back desperately. He is Satan, the Demon King of the Demon World!

However, when he saw Yusa Emi shouting for her daughter back while beating him mercilessly, he lost all desire to fight back.

To be honest, the reason he dared to make such changes to Clannad was because he played the entire game from beginning to end in an internet cafe. Hearing Yusa Emi's tone, recalling her experience in the game, his eyes also became a little moist.

Yes, he would never say that he was the one who got beaten up.

At this point, Liu Yuan also learned the whole story. He explained to Yuza Emi, "Yes, the game he used in his shop was a modified version of ours, with an ending created to deliberately evoke negative emotions. Our game, on the other hand, is the original, and its ending is very healing. Madam, would you like to give it a try?"

Hearing this, Yusa Emi breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered what Takeo Masao had said and asked in a low voice, "There's another question: is the energy in the game fake?"

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "My guest, you're being too attached to appearances. Whether in reality or virtuality, there's only one thing to do, isn't there?"

Yuza Emi's heart tightened, then she breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed to Liu Yuan and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

"I wouldn't call it giving pointers. From the moment you entered this internet cafe, you've been a customer. As the owner, it's natural for me to help my customers. Let's give this customer a great gaming experience."

Ai Mizuno: "Received~"

Ai Mizuno takes a new customer to experience the internet cafe version of Clannad. After the two leave, Takeo Makoto's body instantly recovers.

"It's terrifying, it's really terrifying. I never imagined that she alone could unleash such a negative power that could cause life and death."

True Owu was afraid, but at the same time, he became even more determined in his reasoning.

I thought, "First, let's feed the people of my own world, then let them experience the joy of culture." Just this one game has caused such strong negative emotions in a warrior with such unwavering resolve.

In a future era of world peace and abundant food, if everyone plays this game once, the demon realm can remain undefeated for a thousand years. If there are hundreds or thousands of games or cultural products of this type, the demon realm will surely prosper.

Upon hearing his Demon Lord's resolute tone, Elsil regained his strength and declared firmly, "I will follow the Demon Lord forever!!"

Watching this scene, Kisaragi, who was just observing, trembled slightly as he held the melon in his hand.

After the two of them went up to find the machine, Mu Geng quietly asked Liu Yuan, "Is this really okay?"

Liu Yuan remained silent for a long time before speaking: "They should be fine. Their race is special; negative emotions can be converted into magic power. With enough magic power, he, as the Demon King, should not die. Moreover, what he did is a good thing. If he encounters someone he can't beat, he can invite them to our internet cafe. Those he can't beat must be very rich. We can just squeeze them dry."

Just as she finished speaking, Mizuno Ai walked over: "Not necessarily. That hero just now... he used his lifespan as collateral to go online. Boss, are heroes usually very poor?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was shocked: "A hero would be poor? Don't heroes rummage through people's homes every day? They couldn't possibly be poor. Cough cough, just kidding. If heroes really existed in reality, and their morals were almost identical to those in various works of art, they would very likely be very poor."

"And this hero?"

Liu Yuan: "It's alright, just let her use her lifespan as collateral. I reckon it won't be long before she has to work hard to pay off the debt."

Whether it's Takeo Shinonome or the newly arrived Yusa Emi, as a demon king and a hero, their morality and values ​​are so high that Liu Yuan is surprised.

Ai Mizuno: "The boss is so greedy!"

Liu Yuan reached out and tapped Mizuno Ai on the head: "How can we make games for you guys if we don't make money? Where can we recruit new employees if we don't make money? How will you rest if we don't have new employees?"

Upon hearing this, not only Mizuno Ai, but also Kisara and Kokoro fell silent. Kokoro glanced at Kisara, who patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder: "Does our store... have more than half of its employees paid a salary? Is the monthly salary... enough to cover internet access for a week?"

This time, it was Liu Yuan's turn to be silent. After a long silence, Liu Yuan calmly said, "Ah? What? I'm sorry, a customer had a request for my help, so I went to assist him."

As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, he ran out of the internet cafe. Watching Liu Yuan's retreating figure, Mizuno Ai's expression was initially very serious, but then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As they spent more time together, she discovered that Liu Yuan was actually quite interesting. Teasing her boss occasionally made her feel motivated to play games after get off work or watch her idol's performance in her own world.

Meanwhile, Yusa Emi also started playing the actual game. Once inside, she felt a completely different experience compared to playing games at the Shin-Obuo anime internet cafe.

It felt so real, so incredibly real. Everything around her was exactly like the real thing. Although her body was a little weak, seeing the girl waiting for someone on the slope under the cherry blossom tree brought back memories of playing the game for Yusa Emi.

Meanwhile, on TT, Shin'o Takeo also contacted Yusa Emi.

"The games here are different from the games in my shop. There are guides on TT, and there are ways to make everyone happy. Although it is difficult, it is possible. With so much help from the outside world, any tragedy will disappear."

Looking at Liu Yuanyou, Emi felt something stuck in her throat; she wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. At that moment, she wasn't just thinking about her daughter in the game, but also about her own father. She didn't understand why this was happening.

But then, she suddenly recalled Liu Yuan's guidance. What was the purpose of becoming a hero? Whether it was for scheming or something else, she hoped that her power could help more people, end the invasion of the demon realm, and bring happiness to more people.

Is this boss implying that there's a way to resurrect his father? Or perhaps... he's not dead yet? If he can change the ending of the game, does that mean he can also see his father?

Yusa Emi made up her mind. She would first change the future of her wife and daughter in the game, and then return to the real world to see if she could find her father.

With Yusa Emi entering the game world, the future of this world will become unpredictable. Whatever else Liu Yuan knows, he knows that this hero will need to find a high-paying job if he wants to afford internet access.

Chapter 586 The Hero Who Works and the Demon King Who Gets Beaten Up

Yusa Emi is a true hero.

However, this brave man encountered the most difficult thing in his life: he had no money.

To experience the true ending, she spent everything she could. Besides that, she discovered something very serious: she had overdone the game and had missed work.

In addition, the company's recent performance was poor, so she was fired.

"That wretched Demon King!!"

The thought of the real Takeo made her anger rise sharply. Now that she had reached the true ending and seen a future together, she also hoped to have a daughter.

But this blissful moment lasted only a moment before she was troubled by work.

As she pondered, she found herself in the anime-themed internet cafe created by Takeo Mao. Seeing Takeo Mao's frozen expression, Yusa Emi said in a low voice, "I don't want to fight you."

Her opinion of Takeo Shin'o changed, mainly because she overheard other customers in the internet cafe describing him while she was online.

"Back then, he was playing CL and cried his heart out. The boss had to personally comfort him for a long time before he calmed down."

Thinking about this evaluation, and recalling my own experience and feelings after playing the game, I felt much less negative towards him.

But that doesn't stop the idea that if the real Oww is courting death, then let him die.

"Me too..." Before Takeo Shinonome could finish speaking, the strategist beside him immediately covered his Demon Lord's mouth.

"Demon King! Do you want to get beaten up again?"

Upon hearing this, Takeo Makoto felt a chill run down his spine. What is the most painful thing in the world? It's not being killed, but being beaten without being able to fight back.

Thinking of this, Kenjiro coughed twice: "Ahem! I mean, do you want to continue playing this game?"

"No! I've lost my job, I need to find one quickly."

Ever since she started playing official games, she's lost all interest in this anime-themed internet cafe.

At the same time, through the Mind Space Internet Cafe, she also learned what Shin'o Takeo was going to do: ensure everyone had enough to eat, and at the same time, allow as many demons as possible to live in the Demon Realm, so that the Demon Realm's future would be full of vitality.

Everything was moving in a positive direction, but...

Thinking about her experience made Yusa Emi feel extremely annoyed. And just as she was feeling annoyed, losing her job amplified that resentment, making her even more determined to punch Takeo Masao.

When Takeo Shin heard that the other person had lost their job, he suddenly had an idea: "Why don't you come work for me?"

"You have money?"

Takeo Shinonome coughed a few times: "I don't have money on Earth, but I do in the Demon Realm. I can top up my account at the internet cafe first, and then exchange it for Japanese yen. Although I'll lose a little money, it's nothing compared to my savings. Besides, once this internet cafe opens, my money will come in like crazy."

Yusa Emi fell silent. A hero working for the Demon King? Something felt off about this. Just as she was pondering this, Elsil whispered a reminder, "Hero! Stay. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Demon King will be killed!"

Since the internet cafe opened, Grand Marshal Elsil's biggest concern wasn't the future of the Demon Realm, nor whether it would lose money. After all, experiments had confirmed that a single game could unleash powerful negative emotions in a person, providing strength for the Demon Realm. Once there were enough internet cafes, or the Holy Cross Continent began developing its internet infrastructure, with a few of Liu Yuan's suggestions and a few drastic measures, the Demon Realm would surely be able to coexist peacefully with humanity.

He even planned to find some beautiful demons from his own race who fit human aesthetics to be his idols or internet celebrities, since this thing can not only make money, but also harvest negative emotions one after another.

However, Elsil felt that if they continued doing this, the demon world would be revived, humans would provide negative emotions, and his own Demon Lord might go to the underworld before everyone else. After all, he wanted to beat up Beowulf as soon as he started playing these games, let alone others.

With these thoughts in mind, he invited Yusa Emi to stay. If the Demon Lord was truly about to be killed, the Hero could still save him. After all, he was the Hero, from the human side, and perfectly suited to mediate some conflicts.

"what?"

Yusa Emi asked incredulously, "What did you say? Do you want me to say it again?"

Shin-Okwu: "Are you trying to kill me?"

Elsil: "Demon Lord! Please trust my judgment. Hero! Come and become the internet cafe manager! We will give you a high salary, and we will take care of your daily internet access. Please supervise the Demon Lord and make sure he doesn't go astray."

Maowulf: "?

He looked puzzled, but Yusa Emi was deep in thought. Indeed, it was an excellent suggestion. While the Demon King's intentions were certainly good, and could even end the war completely, having the hero work for the Demon King? Something just didn't feel right.

But on second thought, the suggestion didn't seem so bad. After all, only by becoming a staff member could one keep an eye on things. Otherwise, if the other party opened the shop and wouldn't let them in, then no one would know what the Demon King would do in the future.

With this in mind, Yusa Emi agreed.

"Fine, I will keep an eye on you. If you intend to do anything wrong, I will kill you with my own hands."

True Okumio: "Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes, fine, fine."

Takeo Shin'o rolled his eyes. He couldn't understand why his strategist had come up with this idea. But he trusted his strategist, so since he had said so, he might as well do it.

Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss.

And so, the hero became the Demon King's servant.

After the hero became the internet cafe manager, the internet cafe established by the Demon King began selecting suitable people from various worlds within his own realm to work there. Sure enough, after the hero became familiar with the internet cafe's workflow, a steady stream of customers arrived, some out of curiosity, and others tried out the games.

Because the game is quite long, they are still enjoying the fun storyline and haven't yet activated their "rage mode".

And now, this internet cafe has welcomed a...
