I'm just an internet cafe owner

Fujimaru Kaori patted Fujimaru Ritsuka on the shoulder: "Of course, you don't even know who I am. Today, I'll show them what cruelty is."

Inside the training room, when Fujimaru Kaori appeared, the person at the door asked curiously, "You're here? To avenge your brother?"

"Huh? How many times have I told you! He's my brother. But revenge? Pretty much, not just for him, but for me too. Hehehe, you guys had a lot of fun before, didn't you?"

"How can you call it playing? We're helping you improve!"

"Okay! Then help me improve this time too."

Fujimaru Kaori took out a wooden stick.

None of the people standing here are ordinary; they have discovered the magic of the wooden stick in Fujimaru Kaori's hand.

It appears to be just a wooden stick, but it actually contains extremely mysterious power. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a rare sacred relic.

"Okay!"

The boy in front of her rarely showed a serious expression. If he used to help the director and the doctor train the Gudako duo, this time he was genuinely interested in Fujimaru Kaori.

Meanwhile, inside the medical department, Roman sat in the medical room, sipping coffee and humming a song. Even though the sky was about to collapse, he still needed to rest properly.

"Of course, hand-drip black coffee tastes the best, even bottled!"

He closed his eyes and savored the coffee in his hand, but the moment the coffee touched his lips, the door to the medical department was kicked open.

"Doctor! Help!!"

A dark-haired man was carried in, and at that moment Roman immediately stopped slacking off and began to work seriously.

After a thorough examination, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Mild concussion. The person who did it was quite prudent. He should be fine in two days."

A few minutes later, another man was carried in.

"What's going on? A group fight?"

If one person being hit on the head with a blunt object is an accident, then two people clearly did it intentionally. Examine the wound; it's the same as the previous person's—a blunt force injury.

"What happened? I need to go check it out."

Roman sensed something was wrong. After giving instructions to the rest of the medical staff and inquiring about the source of the injured, he made his way to the training room.

Inside the training room, a dozen people huddled together, with Fujimaru Kaori constantly switching the position of the sticks between her left and right hands in the center. In front of her, a girl was panting, watching Fujimaru Kaori warily.

"You've become stronger."

"Hmph~ Of course, admit defeat. I don't want to hurt you."

"Admitting defeat is impossible. Haven't you never admitted defeat before?"

"That's true."

Thinking back carefully, even when she lost badly in their previous sparring matches, neither she nor Fujimaru Ritsuka admitted defeat. It turns out they were the ones who set a bad example.

"In that case, I'll take you to the medical department."

Just as Fujimaru Kaori spoke, the girl opposite her used magic. However, Fujimaru Kaori reacted faster, dodging the magic attack with a perfect roll.

As he stood up, he gently swung the wooden stick and hit her on the head. The moment the stick made contact with her head, her eyes instantly lost their light.

Another person fell. The seemingly simple and brutal beating with a wooden stick was met with silence from everyone present. They sensed the mysterious power binding the Fujimaru Kaori wood.

In every battle, Fujimaru Kaori would raise her wooden stick and roar loudly, after which her body would be covered by a mysterious power. Everyone knew her true strength; fighting? The first person she sent away was a formidable opponent even without magic or weapons.

The second one fared much worse; he also used a weapon. His first attack was easily countered by Fujimaru Kaori, who simply deflected the weapon and struck him on the head with a club.

Fortunately, Fujimaru Kaori always manages to stop in time, and with Chaldea's medical capabilities, those who faint only need to lie down for three days at most, and by the fourth day they're bouncing around and rolling on the ground.

Now that the third person has fallen, everyone present has fallen silent.

These three might not be the strongest, but everyone present is considered top-tier, and the difference in strength isn't significant. Judging from Fujimaru Kaori's relaxed demeanor, it would be a waste for me to go up against her.

The girl was carried away, and after an experienced person examined her and confirmed that she was also unconscious and would not have any aftereffects, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement.

Young people of this age are full of passion; they're willing to give anything away for free, even if it means suffering for three days, they'd rather suffer for a lifetime than suffer for no reason.

Just as one of them was taking off his clothes to get ready, a reprimand came from the gate.

"What are you doing? Beating up your fellow victim? Is this what you came here for?"

The one who walked in was Olga Marie Animusfia, the director of Chaldea, whom everyone liked to call Director Marie.

As soon as she entered, she saw the girl being carried away and Fujimaru Kaori standing triumphantly in the middle of the crowd.

"Hmph, gang fight. Fujimaru Kaori, you and your brother shouldn't participate in the first spirit transfer experiment."

"what?"

Fujimaru Kaori pointed to herself: "Me?"

"I'm talking about you."

"But we were just sparring! Why aren't they punishing us?"

"them?"

Mary knew who Fujimaru was referring to. She glanced at the wooden stick in Fujimaru's hand, thought for a moment, and then issued an ultimatum: "All five of you are prohibited from participating in the first experiment. Also, anyone caught fighting before the first spirit particle transfer experiment is completed will be disqualified from participating."

"We are just..."

One of the girls tried to explain, but Mary snapped at her.

"You want to say you were just having a friendly spar? If you keep making excuses, you'll be dragged down with you!"

"I…"

Fujimaru Kaori stepped in front of the girl: "Mina, ignore that guy~ Hehehe~ It's just an experiment, I'm too lazy to participate~"

After saying that, Fujimaru Kaori left without looking back.

Roman, who had come to watch the spectacle later, frowned. A holy relic? A conceptual weapon.

Pretending? None of that is true...

Chapter Nine: Opening on the Second Day

The next morning at seven o'clock sharp, Liu Yuan got up on time to prepare for the internet cafe's opening for the new day, only to find that Mu Geng was still playing.

"Tsk, a cultivator warrior."

After checking all the equipment and making sure the shelves were stocked, Liu Yuan walked over to Mu Geng's machine and glanced at the screen.

She was controlling Claire, who was battling 'William' for 300 rounds in the police station. No weapons, no bullets, no projectiles, no knives. She was simply controlling Claire's body, attacking with her bare fists.

In game mode, although the storyline is limited, there is no time limit for staying in each area. Physical fitness is limited to the level of a normal human, but stamina is unlimited, which can be considered as providing a good experience for players.

"Sigh, they're opening for business on the very first day of hiring someone. Oh well, fine, let's open for business!"

At 8:00 AM sharp, the internet cafe opened for business.

Fujimaru Kaori and Natsuki Subaru received notifications simultaneously the moment the internet cafe opened.

'Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe is now open! Come and have some fun, sir/madam!'

Neither of them knew how to complain about the notice, but thinking about their respective experiences yesterday, they both gritted their teeth and went into the internet cafe.

Welcome!

Familiar voices, familiar space, and…

Subaru Natsuki and Kaori Fujimaru both looked to their side and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the familiar stranger.

He wearily took out two hundred gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the table: "Boss, I don't have any money on me. How long can these last?"

After realizing he could learn powers from the game to bring out items, he decided he had to get money no matter what, and fight more to bring out more weapons and items.

Upon making this decision, he woke up and immediately sold all his belongings and borrowed some money from Emilia.

"Five one-hour sessions, do I need to top up all of them?"

"top up."

Fujimaru Kaori, who was standing nearby, asked, "Boss, how much money do I have left?"

"Let me see? It's a little over 60,000 yen. You're a premium member now, so you get a 10% discount on internet access. That's enough for seven days of gaming."

"Seven days is enough. By the way, boss, one more question: can I invite other people to come here to use the internet?"

Liu Yuan nodded: "Of course!"

This remark caused both Fujimaru Kaori and Natsuki Subaru to show expressions of excitement.

"We can find an opportunity to invite Emilia in."

Fujimaru Kaori also wanted to bring Ryougi Mina and the three unlucky guys she had been having a lot of fun with.

The fact that two repeat customers would definitely turn into repeat customers brought a smile to Liu Yuan's face. If he could get three more customers to stay, his mission would be complete. Open the in-game store? Buy games? If all games could be purchased as full-fledged demos, he had a bold idea: some shooting games would be great.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Liu Yuan adjusted his mindset and turned on two machines.

"Guests, please enjoy the happiness our restaurant brings you."

No sooner had Liu Yuan finished speaking than Mu Geng slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

Why did this happen?!

She's gone mad. This boss has so many phases, and she finally managed to grind through two phases with her fists, only to have a third phase appear and devour her before she could even react.

Several hours of effort went to waste, leaving her feeling utterly dejected.

"The store is already open."

"Huh? What? What time is it?"

I checked the time, it was 8 AM? Should I play another game?

But before she could even sit down, she suddenly realized that the store was already open. Her body froze in mid-air; she was still playing games when it was time to go to work…

"What are you still watching for? Come and help when you're done."

"Here I am."

Mugen's momentum suddenly weakened. As a demon, staying up all night to cultivate immortality didn't have much of an impact on her body. What she was afraid of was being fired for playing games at work. She wasn't sure whether she would be in a sealed state or in this state after returning to her own world.

If you're in a sealed state after being expelled, you'll have nowhere to turn for help.

After turning off the computer, she picked up a cup and pretended to wipe it as she moved closer to Liu Yuan.
