The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"But if you become free, I will die... Sigh!"

At that moment, Murphy used his telekinesis to take Naruto's wallet.

"I told you, in this bar, even if it's not on the menu, you can order anything I can make."

Murphy took the money out of the wallet and then returned the deflated wallet.

"I'll take this order. Consider this payment as your deposit!"

"Great!"

Naruto didn't think much of it and cheered.

"Manager, will Naruto be alright after I gain my freedom?" Kurama asked proactively.

"If even a single hair on Naruto falls, I'll consider it a bombing!"

Murphy waved confidently.

"Please just tell us how much it will cost!"

The Third Hokage, who had been silent for a long time, seized the opportunity to speak up: "After all, it was all caused by Konoha. We will bear this cost!"

Kurama couldn't help but sneer, "The culprits are indeed you. If it weren't for Hashirama Senju, we tailed beasts wouldn't have lost our freedom!"

The third generation just chuckled twice, giving off a feeling of "letting the insult dry."

If he could, he really wanted to release the tailed beasts from the other villages as well. After all, people from other villages couldn't enter the bar, and it was difficult for them to gain the complete approval of the tailed beasts like Naruto. With this shift in power, the balance of power would definitely tilt towards Konoha.

The problem is, he can't do it!

Each Jinchuriki is a top-tier ninja in the world and a pillar of their village. Unless the village's Kage is completely incompetent, they would never allow Konoha to release a Tailed Beast. In fact, the Third Hokage's mere suggestion could potentially provoke an attack from the other four ninja villages.

Nine Lamas understood this as well, so he only made a sarcastic remark.

However, it actually had other ideas in mind.

Judging from Boruto, Naruto actually has great potential.

Once he gains his freedom, he can lend his power to Naruto and help him become the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even if he only has half of his power now, if Naruto can become a perfect Jinchūriki, he will still be able to suppress the ninja world.

At that time, freeing the other tailed beasts will be a piece of cake.

Hmm...except for Shukaku!

Kurama couldn't help but twitch his ears as he thought of a certain annoying tanuki.

That guy who lacks self-awareness should just stay sealed away for life!

Himeya Jun stood there, stunned. He hadn't paid attention to the other guests when he last visited. Now, listening to their stories, he realized they seemed to have had rather difficult experiences too!

From the few bits and pieces he'd heard so far, Jun Himeya roughly understood: it seemed the child's parents were killed by the monster sealed inside him. But that monster had been forcibly captured by his faction and used as a tool to seal itself inside the people of their village…

Jun Himeya suddenly felt that his own experiences were nothing compared to Naruto's. Of course, Jun Himeya also understood that misery wasn't something to be compared. But seeing Naruto's energetic appearance, he was somewhat touched.

If even a child can approach the world with such optimism and open-mindedness, shouldn't we be more positive ourselves?

While Jun Himeya was reflecting, the Third Hokage asked Murphy, "Manager, does that mean Naruto has to stay?"

The Third Hokage wasn't entirely comfortable leaving Naruto at the bar.

It's not that they don't trust Murphy. With Murphy's abilities, if he really wanted to do something to them, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.

His main concern was that Naruto might cause some kind of accident here.

In terms of character, Naruto is indeed a good kid. But he's single-minded and a bit eccentric. It wouldn't be good if he accidentally angered Murphy.

“No need.” Murphy shook his head. “I’ll collect some data for Naruto in a bit and then he can go back. I need to deal with the witches and magical girls first. Naruto and the little monsters will have to wait.”

'My name is Nine-Lama…'

Most of the time, Kurama is unwilling to tell others its name. But when it comes to Murphy, it's the complete opposite. No matter how much it wants Murphy to remember its name, Murphy still only calls it Little Monster.

For the next few days, the Third Hokage and Naruto came to the bar every night to read manga.

At first, they were interested in chatting with others, but as the manga's plot progressed, the Third Generation's expression became increasingly serious. The intervals between their visits to the tavern also became longer and longer.

In this uneventful state, the days passed by, and the bar's business gradually improved. Eventually, it became the place that Denise saw.

"Oops!"

While devouring his favorite sundae, Gintoki was sweating profusely and mentally complaining:

"There are more and more people taking on roles here, Manager. At this rate, won't the tavern go bankrupt because of the copyright fees? Hang in there, Manager! You have to hold on! If Monster Tavern closes down, where will I, Gintoki, go to eat free sweets?"

'A half-demon?' Sesshomaru, who was drinking alone, couldn't help but look up when he sensed Teresa's presence.

He didn't sense any demonic power or other similar energy from Teresa, but thanks to the keen nose of the dog demon race, he still caught a scent on her that wasn't human.

"Wow, what a beautiful woman!"

As Jiraiya sipped his wine and listened to a tune, his eyes lit up when he saw Teresa.

In terms of looks and charisma, this woman carrying a greatsword is in no way inferior to her former teammate Tsunade. Moreover, her specially made, form-fitting armor adds a unique charm to her.

'I wonder who developed this armor; it's absolutely amazing!'

Just as Jiraiya was enjoying the sight, three more greatswordsmen wearing the same armor as Teresa walked in.

Seeing these three beauties, each with their own strengths, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh softly:

"This drinking party was definitely worth it!"

Some time ago, the Third Hokage, having quickly finished watching the Naruto series, launched sweeping reforms in the village.

Even though Danzo expressed strong dissatisfaction, the Third Hokage remained firm in his stance and even dismissed Danzo from his position as advisor.

Despite relying on their past prestige to suppress opposition within the village, the three generations of officials still had to remain in the village to stabilize the situation.

Just then, Jiraiya returned, so the Third Hokage simply handed Naruto over to him and asked him to accompany Naruto to the bar.

At first, Jiraiya even suspected that the Third Hokage was under a genjutsu. The idea of ​​another universe and a monster tavern sounded like a pipe dream.

But when Kakashi also came forward to corroborate the story and showed him a copy of Boruto that the Third Hokage had specially left behind, Jiraiya had no choice but to believe it.

Filled with curiosity, Jiraiya and Naruto stepped into the Monster Tavern together.

Despite being mentally prepared, he was still slightly surprised when he saw Murphy and Jamila.

This appearance is indeed completely different from that of humans.

But after he sat down and tasted the drinks and food at the bar, he couldn't help but complain to himself.

The drinks at the tavern were impeccable; although the flavors were quite different from those in the ninja world, every single one was a fine drink.

Those dishes... Jiraiya was a gourmet in the ninja world, and had frequented countless brothels and taverns.

He could tell that all the ingredients at the bar were top-notch. However, the rather ordinary cooking skills dragged down the quality of the ingredients. If he had a better chef, the dishes would definitely taste even better.

That being said, most guests don't come here primarily for drinking and eating.

More than the food itself, what they really care about is a bar that can connect different dimensions.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This is indeed a great place, but most guests probably come here with a utilitarian mindset and can't properly enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food.

"Perverted Sage, I want another bowl of ramen!" Naruto quickly slurped up his ramen and looked up at Jiraiya with longing eyes.

Jiraiya's lips twitched:

'No, there's someone here who's simply enjoying themselves!'

……

"Manager, it looks like your business is doing well lately!" Denise walked up to the bar.

"Haha, it's not so bad!" Murphy laughed and twitched his ears.

"As for you, it's been a long time since you've come. How's it going? Have you caught any demons or awakened beings?"

Chapter Seventy-Six: 'Better to have none than something of poor quality'

Denise looked slightly embarrassed, took out two red and white monster balls, and gently placed them on the bar.

Murphy waited a few seconds, and seeing that Denise didn't move,

"Only two were arrested?"

Denise nodded with a forced laugh.

"They must have chosen the best of both worlds and captured two extremely powerful Awakened Ones!" Murphy began to look forward to it.

Although he had long since retired from research, as a former war scientist, research was not just a job, but also a passion for Murphy. That's why he so readily agreed to Denise's request last time.

According to Teresa, the appearances and abilities of different Awakened individuals are vastly different.

Murphy was eager to know what caused such a big difference between them, who had both received transplants of demonic flesh and blood, and was also curious about what kind of form and abilities they would awaken.

Teresa's silence was deafening.

Murphy's eyes widened slightly: "So you only captured two ordinary demons?"

Teresa once said that she was the organization's No. 1. Even if the Claymores' power would increase exponentially after awakening, with her abilities, capturing a few powerful Awakened Ones shouldn't be a problem.

Perhaps it's because of Bruton. The flow of time in the pub and in every universe isn't exactly the same. But generally speaking, the difference isn't too large.

But now, almost half a month has passed at the tavern, and Teresa has only captured two demons... According to Teresa, demons are everywhere on the continent. Could it be because the time flow in Teresa's world differs significantly from that at the tavern?

“No!” Denise shook her head quickly: “Although one of them is indeed just an ordinary demon, the other sphere... actually contains a greatsword.”

"Greatsword?" Murphy was speechless. "You didn't ambush them while the other greatswords were fighting demons, did you?"

Aside from this explanation, he really couldn't figure out how Teresa managed to capture just one greatsword and one demon.

"No, she was actually sent by the organization to hunt me down as No. 2. Those guys over there are No. 3 to No. 5 who came with her to hunt me down."

Denise turned around and pointed to Ineli and the others sitting next to Claire.

"Are you a succubus? You actually managed to turn the pursuers against you!" Murphy exclaimed in amazement.

“It’s simply because they also want to know about the organization’s dark side,” Denise smiled calmly.

"And besides, isn't there also one with a strong will?" She pointed to the monster ball containing Fisna and recounted her original plans and her experiences in town.

"Manager, Fissna could cross the line at any moment and become an Awakened. If you can, please save her!"

Teresa looked at Murphy expectantly. After all, Murphy had said before that he would find a way to turn the greatswords and Awakened Ones back into humans.

"Then you'd better gather enough material for me..."

Murphy scoffed, "How am I supposed to conduct research with just one demon and a greatsword that's about to awaken? Or are you planning to have your companions awaken as Awakeners to sacrifice themselves for science?"

Denise felt embarrassed. She had originally intended to be selective and not waste the monster ball Murphy had given her. Who could have imagined that encountering Fissna would cause her plans to change?

"I will definitely try my best to capture more demons and awakened beings when I get back this time!" Denise promised earnestly.

Murphy shook his head helplessly.

He'd thought this Teresa was reliable. Now she just looks like Gintoki. He even suspected that if he hadn't given her the Monster Ball and the Healing Gun, she might have just logged off.

"Alright, remember to work hard when you get back. One demon is far from enough to completely eliminate the organization and the demons."

"Yes!"

Teresa stood at attention and gave a solemn salute: "Don't worry, Manager. I'll definitely bring enough Awakened Ones next time!"

"I hope so." Murphy accepted the two monster balls, then switched to his bar manager mode: "What would you like some?"

"Four regular beers, one orange juice, and one kids' meal will do!"

“We’ve got some new high-end ingredients at the bar, why don’t you try them?” Murphy asked.

Denise touched her purse, then shook her head firmly.

She actually had quite a lot of money by world standards. However, prices at the tavern were high, and they didn't really accept their currency. So, even though she missed the food at the tavern, Denise still acted very stingy.

Next time, I must catch more demons and awakened beings! Then I won't be so strapped for cash!

"I understand, please wait a moment."

Murphy told Jamila to serve the drinks while he went into the kitchen to cook.

As soon as Teresa returned to her seat, Royal asked impatiently, "Teresa, what's going on here? Are those strange guys awakened beings? But I can't sense any demonic energy from them at all!"
