"Internet cafe..."
Asumi stood on tiptoe and looked through the rain and fog, she could see the neon light of the Internet cafe not far away, and quickly pursed her pink lips, "Then go hide from the rain for a while."
Naoki opened the umbrella: "Let's go."
A bit reluctant to hold three people with an umbrella. Luckily Asumi was tiny, and Itsuki didn't intentionally avoid physical contact, but immediately squeezed Naoki. The trio held their umbrellas and quickly passed through the rain and fog to the other side of the road.
"It's so cheap~" Itsuki patted the ahoge's hair on top of his head and looked at the Internet Cafe sign at the intersection, "It's only 150 yen for 30 minutes, and 490 yen for three hours."
"It's really cheap."
Asumi nodded in agreement.
Taking her as an example, the hourly salary was 1,500 yen for working in a maid cafe, and the hourly salary was even higher for the occasional maid maid service.
"Houses in Tokyo are very expensive, but internet cafes are very cheap." Itsuki complained, "Will it go bankrupt?"
"But the reality is that internet cafes haven't closed yet, but have high revenues." Naoki folded his umbrella and stood under the roof to control the water. "The internet cafe owner is not a philanthropist, and he will not be doing a loss-making business."
Itsuki asked curiously, "Asakawa-san has been to an internet cafe before?"
"Not." Naoki shook his head, "This is my first time here."
"This is my first time to an internet cafe." Itsuki tugged at Naoki's shirt, and his face showed hope that the adventurer would enter the cave of the giant dragon to explore. "Anyway, let's go first."
"You've never been to an internet cafe." Asumi was half a step behind, raised her hand to cover her mouth, lowered her voice, and looked at him jokingly, "Kouhai-kun is really embarrassing."
Naoki lowered his head, "Asumi-senpai been here?"
Asumi lifted her chin and hummed proudly: "Of course I came."
"So." Naoki nodded lightly, "As expected of Mrs. Asumi, the first time someone else was there, you were experienced..."
"Pah!"
Asumi punched Naoki's knee, with a murderous expression on his face: "Believe it or not, I will chop off your head!"
While talking, the three walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The light was bright and soft as far as the eye could see.
"Several guests, welcome."
A young cashier girl stood behind the counter and saluted with a smile.
"Feel good..."
Even though it was his first time coming to a place like an internet cafe, Itsuki didn't have stage fright.
Internet cafe fees are clearly marked, such as a sign on the door, 150 yen for 30 minutes, 490 yen for three hours, and only 2,000 yen for 24 hours a day.
It is mainly divided into single compartment and double compartment, where double room is more expensive.
Why is the eSports industry in Japan underdeveloped?
Because even if you go to the Internet Cafe, you will not have a chance to open the black in five lines.
"In that case, we will need a room for two."
The choice will soon be made Itsuki.
She came to the Internet Cafe mainly to hide from the rain, and then she was a little curious, Internet access is actually not important, too wasteful for one person to have a booth.
"Okay." The cashier girl agreed, and after completing the registration procedure, she handed over the keys with both hands.
Itsuki hesitated, "Are ice cream and drinks really free?"
The girl at the cashier nodded, "You can get unlimited drinks and ice cream. You can also read manga and light novels for free, but you have to pay extra for bathing and eating."
"We don't shower, we just come to take shelter from the rain."
As Itsuki spoke, she looked at Naoki with expectant eyes.
Hey, you can get whatever you want, don't suddenly become quiet just because there are outsiders!
Those who are too quiet often end up hungry in the end!
"I'm a little thirsty." Naoki put down his phone and said. "Want some ice cream?"
"Cough." Itsuki coughed lightly and said nonchalantly, "The matcha chocolate ice cream looks pretty good."
What's not bad, just say you want to eat it!
Naoki looked at Asumi: "How is Asumi senpai?"
Asumi snorted softly, "I'll take it myself, you don't have to worry about that."
Naoki said quietly, "You might not be able to get ice cream on it."
"Damn it! Die a hundred times!"
The three grabbed ice cream and walked towards the internet cafe.
"It's very cheap, and the drinks and ice cream are still free." Itsuki again worried about the income of the Internet Cafe owner, "Will it go bankrupt?"
Don't be so naive! You think other people will go bankrupt, but the truth is that other people make a lot of money every day!
"It's just a very ordinary ice cream, the price is much lower than you think. Wholesale prices are completely different from retail prices." Naoki sighed "And free doesn't mean you can eat unlimited."
"Eh?" Itsuki tilted his head to look at her, and his hair shook slightly, "That young lady just said that I can eat without limits."
"Your stomach isn't a bottomless pit, you can eat at most four or five ice creams at a time." Naoki said speechlessly, "Will your stomach hurt if you eat more?"
Itsuki stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, and said proudly, "It's only four or five, and it won't hurt at all."
As a gifted girl with an amazing appetite, four or five ice creams were really nothing.
"Even if you don't feel any pain." Naoki said lightly, "But if you eat so much cream and sugar, you will definitely gain weight."
Itsuki: "😐"
The lights dimmed, and the three of them subconsciously walked lightly.
"Very quiet."
Itsuki looked left and right and said.
The internet cafe was completely silent, and he couldn't hear any exuberant noises at all, not even a crackling sound on the keyboard.
Passing through the narrow corridor, the three quickly exited the compartment, unlocked the door with the key, and entered it.
The compartment is small, only three or four square meters, but although small, it has all the internal organs, two computers, a TV, two lamps, a phone to call the front desk, a game console, a small locker, and a shelf for drying clothes.
Japanese Internet cafes today are more often a substitute for low-level hotels than Internet access, they are mainly used for rest. Serious people who come to Internet cafes to surf the Internet can only play with their cell phones.
"The compartment is so small?!"
Itsuki suddenly she understands why internet cafes are so cheap, why they don't close. They are clearly space management experts, and every inch of space is not wasted.
"This is a double room, it is already very big." Asumi complained. "When you go to a single room, you know what a real cramp is, you can't stretch your legs when you lie down."
Naoki stares at Asumi's short legs, you can't even stretch your legs, they look so small.
"Damn it!" Asumi glanced at Naoki's eyes and glared at him viciously, "You must be thinking of something very unpleasant!"
"I said you promised not to get angry?"
"Stop talking, die!"
