I'm just an internet cafe owner

Looking at Chtholly, who was completely lost in love beside her, Nephren sighed helplessly. She had no interest in love…

However, she was quite drawn to the beautiful scenery in the game, and following the guidance of Chtholly and the system, she entered the game world. But instead of flying around like Chtholly, she saw the beautiful forest, listened to the buzzing of small animals, and lay down on the ground, looking up at the sky.

"So comfortable..."

Chtholly is right, the scenery here is indeed very beautiful, the air is fresh and the environment is lovely. Lying on the ground, I felt a strange sense of relaxation.

Like Chtholly, she also encountered the Drunken Sword Immortal. However, unlike Chtholly, the Drunken Sword Immortal discovered that she had good talent and, after some calculation, realized that this girl was destined for Mount Shu, so he directly took her as his disciple.

Furthermore, he skipped all the plot points of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series and went straight to taking on apprentices.

A rootless duckweed, neither human nor non-human, a descendant of immortals, Heaven ordained him to take Nephren as his disciple, but not forcibly.

The Drunken Sword Immortal figured he had nothing better to do, and since the Heavenly Dao had already spoken, he might as well accept him. What? Become a monk? What a load of rubbish! It's not like he's taking on disciples like the Shu Mountain sect. No problem!

So from day one, Nephren became a player living outside the storyline of the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game. From beginning to end, she just followed the Drunken Sword Immortal all over the world. Compared to Chtholly, she had fewer opportunities, but she could steadily improve.

After all, the two entered the game for different reasons. Nephren wasn't like Chtholly, who wanted to see a beautiful love story. She just wanted to see something interesting and to survive better.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

When Nephren received the store closure notice, she quickly saved her game and took off her glasses, guided by the system.

How are you feeling?

"That was fantastic! Chtholly, you used the Sword Control Technique before, right?"

"That's right~"

The two chatted as they got up and returned to the airship. Only twelve minutes had passed on the airship.

Chtholly sat on the bed and asked curiously, "What happened to you?"

After Nephren recounted her experiences in detail, Chtholly looked on with curiosity.

"They actually accepted me as a disciple directly, that's great. But I also learned the Myriad Swords Technique today! I won't be afraid of any number of beasts in the next battle."

Normally, skills are acquired after completing the game, but this is on the premise that you can't understand them at all. If you have enough talent, self-learning through in-game learning is not a problem.

"Yes, Athena will take her with her tomorrow. And when they come back, we'll take them with us too."

There are a total of five adult Gold Fairies in the entire Fairy Warehouse, but two of them are currently on an expedition and may not be able to return for at least a year or two.

After sitting in the airship for several hours, it landed. The two found Athena immediately upon landing.

"Hey~ you guys look pretty good. Hey? Are you hiding something from me?"

Aesya squinted, grinning as she circled around Chtholly and Nephren. Chtholly was alright, having been acting mysteriously for some time now, but Nephren had suddenly become just as mysterious as Chtholly, which made Aesya suspect something was amiss.

"Could it be that you all have someone you like?"

"!!!"

Chtholly's face flushed instantly, while Nephren looked at Esther with some confusion.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Chtholly's Confession to William

Aesya was dumbfounded. She never expected that her casual joke would actually bring something to the surface.

"Hehe~ Chtholly~ Tell me, tell me, who is it?"

"Nobody!"

"Really? Let me guess, it's..."

"Huh? William?"

It was completely dark by then, and with the arrival of night, rain began to fall on Sky Island No. 68, which belonged to the Golden Fairies. The three of them had thought that no one would come to pick them up so late, but to their surprise, William stood in the rain with an umbrella and waved to them.

Athena glanced at Chtholly, then at William, and in an instant, she understood everything.

"William~~~"

Asya skipped over to William's side and took an umbrella that William had prepared.

"Thanks, Lian! Let's share an umbrella!"

She returned to Nephren's side and walked alongside her in front. Since there were no extra umbrellas, Chtholly could only stand with William.

Chtholly and William stood behind, and after walking in silence for a while, William finally spoke up and asked.

"Are you okay?"

"It's alright! I'm very strong!"

Chtholly was on edge, afraid she would say the wrong thing. Suddenly, she remembered something and stopped in her tracks.

"what happened?"

"Lower your body,"

I have something to tell you.

"?"

William didn't know what Ctholly was going to do, but he obediently got down.

"Thank you for picking us up, this is a reward!"

Ctholly gently kissed William on the cheek, and in that instant, William's face turned completely red.

"You! Me, you you you~"

"Hmph~ Let's go~"

Chtholly grabbed William's hand, and at the same time, the Holy Sword flew out from behind her. Watching the two fly away, Asya couldn't help but complain, "Every time I see Chtholly's ability, I think it's so cool. She taught me, so why can't I learn it?"

She never kept the skills she learned from the game to herself, but personally teaching them didn't work well. Only today, because Nephren went to the internet cafe with Chtholly, did she successfully master this skill.

Do you want to fly?

"You can do that too?"

"I couldn't before, but I can now."

Nephren's holy sword was drawn from its sheath and flew in front of the two. Although Athena could fly using magic, using magic too much would cause great fatigue. On the contrary, flying on a sword gave her a cool feeling.

So she jumped up: "Let's go! Let's fly into the sky!"

Nephren, holding Athena, used her sword-flying technique. When flying through the sword-flying technique, magic would protect the person above. The two of them could fly directly above the rain layer amidst the thunder and rain.

They stopped just after flying over the clouds, because at the very top, Chtholly and William were sitting on their swords, looking at the stars in the sky.

"And just like that, the beasts all died with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Chtholly recounted her experiences over the past few days, which, aside from the battles, were rather uneventful. At the end, William also recounted what had happened at the fairy warehouse during this time.

It's like someone running around the world in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, or someone being a picky eater and secretly putting green peppers into someone else's bowl.

They talked for a long time, then both fell silent. After a few more minutes, Chtholly spoke.

"Sacrificing themselves—that's the answer left by their predecessors. They didn't learn any techniques; they could only exchange their lives for the beast through self-destruction, a result of their resonance with the holy sword..."

"Ctholly..."

William already knew about this, but there was only one thing he could do: teach Ctholly and the others how to use the Holy Sword, hoping to bridge the gap between them with skill. But it was clear that Ctholly now had a far greater grasp of the Holy Sword than he did, and he felt useless.

"Listen to me. I used to think the same way, but after meeting you, my thoughts changed. I hope to return after the battle, and I hope to see you again after the battle. You no longer need to fight; I will accept everything about you."

William looked at Chtholly. Their meeting was just a coincidence, but after arriving at the Fairy Warehouse and spending time together day by day, he felt as if he had found his home again.

It's ironic that a hero who once protected humanity had considered giving up because he lived in a world where humanity was extinct. Perhaps it was seeing Chtholly, seeing her smile that day, that gradually unlocked his closed heart.

Especially on his first night here, when he saw Ctholly sitting on his sword gazing at the sky, he realized from that moment on that he had a girl named Ctholly in his heart.

"Thank you so much. Ever since I woke up, I've wanted to die. My only wish is to go back to my family who are waiting for me. But after meeting you, I've changed. I've started to hope again, to hope that I can have a place to belong. Because of meeting you, I've found some redemption, and now I'm even... feeling some happiness."

"!!!"

The sudden confession stunned Chtholly, and the sword trembled due to the instability of her magic.

"Hey hey!"

Chtholly quickly composed herself and looked at William in disbelief.

William's face showed a tense expression: "What's with this embarrassing creature's expression?!"

At that moment, Chtholly hugged William: "Because I love you."

The happiness they desire most isn't a passionate, life-or-death love, but rather having someone they care about waiting for their return. Neither of them craves a dramatic, earth-shattering romance; rather, they yearn for each other to rely on.

For both Ctholly and William, meeting each other was probably very lucky...

"I promise you..."

Ctholly, who was hugging William, said, "No matter where you are, I will come back, I definitely will."

"Ctholly..."

William didn't say much, he just hugged Ctholly.

He is the last human in this world. The race that once fought against him has now become the ruler of this world, and the humans he once protected, the family he once protected, have all vanished. He lived on simply to survive, but now he has a new reason.

For Chtholly.

"Oh, right, William."

"Ok?"

"I will heal you."

“I…” William knew the extent of his injuries; he was lucky to be alive and had no right to ask for more. But looking into the girl's determined eyes, he nodded: “I believe you, William. Get up early tomorrow, I'll take you somewhere…”

Chtholly not only wanted to bring the Golden Fairies into the internet cafe, but also William, because Liu Yuan had clearly told her that William could be saved.

Below, Athena, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, had starry eyes.
