I fell into the world of cyberpunk games

5 o’clock in the morning.

The bar was closed.

Drunk customers lying on the table, the truth behind going into the bathroom and locking the door for some reason and saying that he wouldn’t leave, a drunkard who drinks like crazy saying he’s not drunk yet… .

Only after dragging all those humans out the door, kicking them and kicking them out was the only way to find peace.

A quiet tavern interior, half-lit. Only a faint neon light illuminates the surroundings.

As the business ended, the jukebox was also turned off, so there was a somewhat lonely atmosphere.

Maybe it felt even more so because just a few hours ago, it was full of all sorts of eccentric humans and it was noisy.

The bartenders had long since left. I just did the basics and went straight to work.

It’s up to me as the site manager and chores to clean up the house. Even though I had cleaned it up in my spare time during business hours, the dishes were piled up.

ha ha-

Spit out, yawn, and put the bowls and glasses in the water with the synthetic detergent and take them out. The dishware with foam was wiped several times with a microfiber cloth and removed.

A repetitive action that is mastered enough to be performed even with eyes closed.

Since Dusk City’s water bill is so horrendous, most of them used a cloth for washing dishes rather than rinsing them with water.

Although I use it more often to just clean dishes that come out of the washer than to put them in the detergent in this way and wash them out.

As I moved my hands blankly, I suddenly had a question like that.

Don’t you use the washing machine? I know that almost all places use ultrasound equipment.

It was a virtual table tennis table, an arcade game machine, an air purifying facility, and I was wondering why there was no dishwasher, which was used well even in the 21st century.

Could this be because of the dragon’s mistake, like a free radio broadcast? .

With that thought in mind, he yawned again.

I’m usually very sleepy because I’m not awake until this time of day.

In the future, this will become a basic lifestyle. You should get used to it quickly.

It was the time to wipe the last glass of water and the water that formed around the eyes together.

Tsuzuzuzuzu-

Something creepy creeped in the gloomy darkness on the other side of the tavern hallway.

Amidst the sound of dripping water, a strange-looking thing that is not at all human-like suddenly pops out from the gap in the thick shadows.

chin.

It hit me and put both arms over my shoulders. And sure!

I screamed involuntarily at the hand gestures that rubbed my stiff shoulders.

“Aww!”

[The kata (shoulders) are very tight, Nakamura Kun. I need to give you a little hug. After all, I’m a massage expert. It’s time to show off the techniques taught by an authentic Thai massage craftsman… Please stay still.]

The assailant said so and grabbed my neck and shoulder area and broke it. Without a moment to say anything or resist, the body was tilted back by ninety degrees.

sleep fades away

Unconsciously, I knelt down and twisted my shoulders to pull myself out of the pain of my head turning white.

But it doesn’t work at all. Rather, the pain in the lumbar spine caused my body to stand up again.

The crooked waist curves in the opposite direction like a bow, and screams come out of his mouth.

[I like the loud noise. hold on a little longer Take the strength out of your body. yes, yes… .]

The force holding my shoulder and pressing it was so strong that it felt like a lump of iron was holding me.

Without realizing it, I lifted my claws and lifted my body higher and higher, writhing in pain.

[It’s done!]

Then, when I let it go, my body collapsed. Strong metal hands pound my back as I knelt down.

[The boy is terribly dead. It wasn’t even a proper massage, just a taste. Hayaku (Come on) Wake up! I have to go to work.]

It was decided who the culprit would be who ravaged my body.

Is there only one other person who can use that baseless otaku doshi language?

I looked back with resentful eyes.

“… president.”

[Call me the captain.]

“You haven’t left work yet.”

[Of course. This is my store. Even if you leave the cleaning up to Nakamura Kun, I will close and lock the door.]

That’s right. I think I saw you go out with the bartenders earlier, when did you get back?

As he stood up, rubbing his tingling shoulders and waist, the Dragon boss snorted and slapped him on the back again.

[I know thank you. How many people are anxious to get a massage from me? You can’t even get it for money.

It hurts a little now, but it’ll be a while. Will your body become as light as if it were flying? Fatigue is relieved, and Kimochi (feel good) is said.]

“Yes, yes. You would.”

[This friend’s tone of voice is impolite. Have you just moved to Tony? I want you to teach him well, so I only tell him strange things.]

Sasha Dragon grumbled like that.

[There is no one in the world to trust… it’s done Are you done washing dishes? I have nothing to do now?]

“Yes. It’s all over.”

[Then wait a minute. Close the door and let’s Tykin (commuting) together. Stay there! If you leave me and run away first, you will die!]

Suddenly, he gave me such a slander and went back to the hallway to collect my luggage.

I just stared blankly at the scene.

Damn, I should have done the dishes quicker and just popped out.

It’s all of a sudden that I’m leaving work with my boss.

His expression was rotten and bruised.

As I let out a sigh, hardened, I shouted from the hallway as if there was snow behind my back.

[Take care of your facial expressions! Don’t you hate it out loud? I’m hurt!]

Damn, maybe I should practice a real poker face.

* * *

shudder-

The bar was completely closed when the reinforced chrome shutters were pulled down from the ceiling in front of the front door and closed.

It seems that there is absolutely no need to worry about thieves or robbers if it looks sturdy.

When the dragon boss touched it with the armor glove to check it, a red light flashed and a weighing sounded.

[Okay, no problem. So let’s go now.]

“Security is very tight.”

said with a puzzled expression.

Did you do it to prevent thieves? But can a thief come in?

The era of virtual currency, the era of material money is over.

Of course, not all transactions are made with virtual currency, and there are things that are similar to material currency.

In Dusk City, city dollar chips are used as a real transaction method to avoid cyberware contamination, money tracking, and hacking.

A small storage disk in the form of a chip with a connection port that allows you to withdraw virtual currency anytime, anywhere as long as you have cyberware.

But most of those chips are used for covert or discreet transactions, and are rarely used in pubs like this one.

It seems that there are customers who sometimes pay with chips or give tips, but that doesn’t mean much because they send the amount directly to the electronic checkout anyway.

So there is no reason for thieves to come.

All of the store’s income is stored in a cyber safe in virtual currency, so is there any reason to infiltrate to rob a real safe?

It was also the reason why cyber thieves and robbers became more prevalent than real thieves.

Because robbing safes and banks in cyberspace is far more enjoyable than money in the material world.

Hackers aren’t the most popular profession for nothing. As it is a cyberpunk city, it is bound to be promising to deal with cybernetics.

Anyway, that’s why it’s so weird.

No matter how bad the security in this neighborhood is, there will be no thieves, so why are the bar security facilities so tight?

It would be several times better to install a net firewall with that money.

[Ah, this. I installed it with some good stuff. I heard money waking up. Is it because of the bar name? There’s nothing inside, but they think there’s even a dragon’s takara (treasure).

“Aha.”

[Anyway, you sprawlfield bastards with no frills. Even if everything else is the same, I can’t stand touching even my limited edition figure. How did you get them After punishing all those who touched me so harshly, I never even thought about it again, so I put a reinforced shutter on me.]

So, after all, it’s the security devices installed to protect the limited edition figures.

After knowing the process… It didn’t seem very

Truly an otaku dragon.

When I followed him out of the building after the needlessly and dignified man, darkness fell very thickly.

It’s early morning, not midnight, but the sun hasn’t risen yet.

If it weren’t for the broken neon signs that were broken and glowing whitish, I wouldn’t have been able to see ahead.

This is because it is a fringe alley far away from the center. I set foot while watching the light from the watch device.

“It’s really dark.”

[This is from the beginning. If you go to the sprawl field section, add it. It feels like Ankoku (darkness). That’s why I’m taking you here right now.]

“So are you taking me?”

Frowning his brows at the unfamiliar words, the Dragon president said with a snap of his finger.

[Then, did you know that I had nothing to do, just chatted with my subordinates and told them to leave work together? Of course, Hitori (alone) is the right thing to do, so there are things like that… . The alleyways in this area are really dangerous. Especially at dawn like now.]

“ah… .”

[Especially these days, there are a lot of scavengers who kill people and skip their modifications. What if we, Nakamura Kun, were sent alone and found a cold body the next day? I have to go to the country too. It’s annoying.]
