The middle-aged woman's voice instantly captivated everyone in the Cafe.
Regular customers of the Cafe were surprised; they frequently visited and knew the Cafe owner.
"Oh? Why is that? Anyone can tell at a glance that I'm very young, perhaps even a student," Xia Wei said with a smile.
He had only nudged fate and didn't know how the world's fate would arrange itself; he only wanted the outcome and didn't interfere with the process.
"Haha, because a few days ago I bought three million dollars worth of stock, and it soared, directly earning me a billion dollars, which is equivalent to 140 billion Japanese Yen. I am completely financially free; I could live off the interest in the bank for ten lifetimes."
"So I've decided to fulfill my dream and travel the world; I want to see every corner of it."
"Therefore, this shop has become an obstacle."
"I've observed for three days and decided to give my shop to a young person I find agreeable."
"This shop has an annual net profit of ten million Japanese Yen, mind you."
"I've also informed the staff and the manager; all the procedures are complete, and you won't need to manage it yourself; the manager will keep everything in perfect order for you."
At this point, the middle-aged woman placed a stack of contracts in front of Xia Wei.
"You just need to sign here, and this shop will officially be yours."
The customers in the Cafe were dumbfounded, never expecting a plot from a storybook to unfold before them. A regular customer couldn't help but ask, "Madam boss, why do you insist on giving it to this young man? He doesn't look twenty yet; he's still a student, isn't he?"
"Why not give it to me? I'm one of your regular customers."
"Yeah, yeah."
These people, both men and women, looked at Xia Wei with envy and jealousy. How could such a good thing fall into his lap?
Humans are like this: when they see something incredibly good happen, but it doesn't benefit them, immense jealousy rushes to their heads.
"Madam boss, I studied financial management. If you entrust the shop to me, I can definitely make this Cafe a famous establishment."
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes: "This old woman will give it to whoever she wants. To be blunt, this old woman's shop will go to the most handsome man. This young sir is the most handsome man I've ever seen in my life. If he grows a few more years, I don't even know how handsome he'll become."
A group of corporate slaves and ordinary men's faces turned red, angered by this. Why should being handsome make one so lucky? All the good things happen to handsome people.
"Then I'll accept it," Xia Wei said, signing lightly. A talisman appeared in his hand: "Madam boss, I'll give you this. I prefer equivalent exchange."
"A Peace Talisman? Hahaha, then I wish you can make this shop flourish." The madam boss accepted it with a smile, wondering why she felt this Peace Talisman was very important to her.
"This old woman is off to travel the world."
The madam boss finished with a smile and walked out of the Cafe. A luxurious sports car happened to pull up at the entrance, and after she got in, it sped away.
Inside the Cafe, discussions instantly erupted, filled with various sour remarks.
"What a lucky kid."
"I never thought a plot from a story would appear."
"It can't be a variety show prank, can it? Where's the cameraman?"
"It must be a prank."
The baristas and the manager in the Cafe all came out and stood in a line in front of Xia Wei.
"Boss, I am now your manager and shop owner. My name is Kinoshita Yuko." The manager was a young woman in her early twenties, fresh out of university, and quite pretty.
"Currently, there are three baristas and five servers in the shop."
"Hello, Boss." The seven staff members were all women around twenty years old. The baristas wore white hats, and the servers wore maid outfits with their names pinned to their chests.
"Mm, after the Omamori Hour, we'll have a meeting in the office," Xia Wei nodded naturally. He planned to teach them some magical knowledge and turn this Cafe into a gateway to the Ri (Other) World.
A mysterious Ri (Other) World organization hidden within the surface world, containing mages, Exorcists, and psychics—wouldn't that be particularly interesting?
This peaceful world isn't suitable for playing like a doomsday world; thus, a Ri (Other) World organization is most suitable for such a peaceful world.
A peaceful world does not have the soil for hero seeds that bestow Blessing, so simply spreading learnable mysterious knowledge will suffice.
Of course, if he wishes, he can bestow Divine Blessing and Blessing. Currently, only Yotsuya Miko, Yurikawa Hana, and Yulia are on his mind for bestowing Blessing, but he can't bestow Blessing right away; he must proceed gradually, first letting them learn 'exorcism.'
"Yes, Boss." Kinoshita Yuko looked at the young man, whose expression was so natural, and whose tone was so matter-of-fact that cold sweat broke out on her. This demeanor... was more oppressive than that of big bosses and politicians. Could the boss be the young master of a prominent family? The madam boss must have known this to act as she did.
She didn't believe that such a shrewd madam boss would truly give it away for free.
Moreover, the aura of these two young ladies was also extraordinary; they must also be young ladies from prominent families.
How could ordinary girls be so calm when encountering such a situation?
Tendo Kisara and Saya Takagi showed no surprise, only finding it normal. Anything related to a deity, no matter how outrageous, was normal.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was closing time. The Cafe closed at 8 PM, with no night overtime.
This incident was quickly spread by those envious and resentful customers, with added embellishments. Even television stations were alarmed and continuously interviewed these customers.
Originally, the television station wanted to interview Xia Wei, the lucky one, but the Cafe had already closed its doors to guests.
The Cafe had two floors; the first floor and part of the second floor were seating areas, and another part of the second floor was the manager's office and staff lounge.
The manager's office and staff lounge were large; not to mention a few people, even twenty or thirty people could fit comfortably.
Kinoshita Yuko told the staff about her guess that Xia Wei and the two women were young masters and ladies from prominent families.
The staff members stood nervously in a line in the manager's office; they were all recent university graduates and feared losing this easy and high-paying job.
Losing a job in Japan leaves a black mark on one's resume, making it very difficult to find future employment.
Xia Wei sat in the manager's chair, with Saya Takagi and Tendo Kisara standing beside him. Kinoshita Yuko stood nervously in front of the desk; she also feared being fired.
"No need to be nervous. For you, this might be a life-changing opportunity." Xia Wei waved his hand, and a radiance appeared, instantly entering their minds.
Magical knowledge continuously appeared in their minds. Even if learned, this magical knowledge would only be a few levels weaker than the power of Divine Blessing.
In addition to magical knowledge, there was also some common sense about this world.
"Magic? Onmyodo? Exorcism spells! Hiss!" The staff members recovered, their expressions constantly changing, finally turning fanatical as they looked at their boss.
So this world also had a mysterious Ri (Other) World! The truth of the world!
And they would also become the Exorcists who maintained the normal lives of ordinary people, just like in those movies and comics! This was too exciting for them!
"Alright, you can go home. Work as usual," Xia Wei said.
"Kinoshita, stay. In eleven minutes, a high school girl with golden eyes will arrive. Bring her up."
"Yes!" Kinoshita Yuko said fanatically, her heart pounding. The boss was actually a super important figure hidden among ordinary people, the kind of person from comics who looks ordinary but is truly powerful.
She was also appreciated and became an Exorcist, removing evil spirits that harm ordinary people. What a noble and great identity!
The staff members all left the Cafe one after another; they definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Is it here?" Yotsuya Miko, after saying goodbye to Yurikawa Hana after school, cautiously came here alone.
At this time, there were few people on the street, making it feel somewhat eerie.
However, she wasn't scared at all; there wasn't a single monster on this street, and she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Finally, she cautiously arrived in front of a Cafe. She and Yurikawa Hana had been to this Cafe before, and such a magical situation had never occurred previously.
A woman in a black and white suit was standing at the entrance of the shop, which had already been locked.
"This is?" Yotsuya Miko was surprised to find that the woman was emitting a faint blue light. This light was warm but also somewhat dangerous.
She had never seen it on anyone else, not even the life energy on Hana had given her that sense of danger.
"Not an ordinary person—" Yotsuya Miko felt a little joy in her heart. Could it be an Exorcist or a psychic?
Before she could go up and ask, the other person had already seen her.
"Golden eyes, the boss was talking about you."
"Huh?" Yotsuya Miko was dumbfounded.
