109 One day till school starts (1/2)

When Linri said he had a date he was not really exaggerating. It was true... in a certain kind of way. He was going to meet with his future classmate Silfy. Tomorrow was the date of the opening ceremony, in other words, the day Zero was going to attack them and possibly kill half the school. Linri was saying possibly because in the original event Zero did not really kill anyone but instead incapacitated them. The problem was half of the player base left the club after that event.

Seeing that one couldn't help but wonder, what happens to a character after his player leaves the game? Do they leave the game, in other words, Autumnfall or do they just die? Maybe they even stop existing all together...

Anyway, at least he did not have to be worried about getting erased from the existence since he was there from day 1 till the day the club was deleted. Unless the world ends when Luxor deletes the club...Fuck! Now he started to worry about that...

Linri got onto a taxi and made his way to the Akiba street. This was where he was going to meet with Silfy. If the name sounded familiar it was because this place was based on the famous Akihabara street in Japan. Basically, it was a heaven for all the weebs in the world and that fact didn't change in this world either. Just a simple walk and Linri could see all the anime-themed shops and cafes everywhere.

Back in his world Linri always wanted to go to this place but he could never convince his parents to let him come here. Now that he was here he wanted to go into almost every shop. He might have transmigrated but Linri was still a literature geek through and through and he especially liked Light Novels. Now that he saw some shops themed after his favourite Light Novels he was using every ounce of his will to not go inside them.

He quickly found the address Silfy gave him and made his way. He was surprised to see that it was actually a Butler cafe. When he walked inside he felt out of place. The place was filled with girls and handsome men in butler attire were serving them. He felt so out of place here after all his current attire did not fit this place like at all. Currently, he was wearing a dark brown windbreaker, a red shirt and camo pants. Oh yeah, as a parting gift he had also taken Arkady's military tag. Now that he had it he felt more relaxed but it did not help him in this particular situation. To sum up he looked like a military enthusiast.

Seeing Linri out of place one of the butlers walked up to him angrily.

”It's the first day of your job and you are already late!”

...Ummmm, what!?

”No, I-”

”I have no time to listen to your excuses.” Then the butler started to push Linri to the changing room.

Linri was still in a daze because of the fast turning events. Unless someone applied in his name this was a big mistake. He should have mistaken him for a new employee that was supposed to start today. He tried to explain it to the guy in front of him but he was having none of it. It didn't help that Linri was socially awkward either. He was usually in control of conversations so now that someone was not listening to what he was saying he did not really know what to do. If the guy at least spoke to him instead of giving orders maybe he could have explained the situation but the problem was he wasn't listening.

Linri could have shouted and made a scene but that was not in his personality. He was a calm guy that hated attention so he would feel really uncomfortable if he suddenly started to shout at the guy in front of him without anything to gain. I mean what was the worst thing that could happen if he cosplayed as a butler for a little while. No harm done right?

When the guy was done forcefully putting the uniform on Linri, he looked at his work and seemed satisfied. Then he threw Linri outside the store with a basket full of napkins to advertise. That was the moment Linri started to doubt himself. Maybe he should have made a scene after all?

Linri checked his phone, there was still time before Silfy made her way to this place. Dammit! He should have brought Kris with him. He sent a message to her saying that he arrived before putting back his phone. Feeling dejected and defeated Linri started to hand the napkins to the passerby women. Most of them went inside the shop to take a look. They were really impressed with his looks and thought maybe the shop had high standards when it came to their employees. At least it didn't feel bad to be praised for his looks. Since he was just slightly above average before his transmigration he had never gotten this much praise before and it lifted his spirits.

Maybe he could work part-time here in his free time? I mean if he was short of cash why not? It was definitely not because he liked getting praised for his looks or anything. When Linri saw his reflection on one of the shop's windows and how he was smiling like an idiot he immediately disregarded that notion. This was a secret he was going to take to his grave. Actually, you know what? He was going to walk up to that shop's manager and file a-

”Linri?” A melodic voice came from his side and pulled him back to reality. He was so scared that he almost jumped back.

”Yes?” Linri was scared to make eye contact with the person next to him so he tried to avert his eyes. Like if he did not acknowledge she existed this was going to be all a dream.

”Wait, you are actually Linri?” Wait a minute! She seemed to be not sure if he was Linri. I guess it was time to feign ignorance and bolt out of here.

”Now that you said it again the name sounds foreign. I think you got the wrong person miss” and then he started to make his way to the shop with quick steps. She however was not convinced and tried to keep up with him.

”Are you sure? You look just like him but a little bit more mature?” Linri started to walk even faster.

”Yes, I am sure. Anyway, my boss is calling I have to hurry” He started to walk so fast that it looked like he was running.

The moment he went inside the shop Linri handed the basket to the nearest employee he saw and rushed to the changing room. At first, he didn't think it would be such a big deal to meet with Silfy like this but now that she appeared next to him he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. He quickly changed back to his clothes and asked for a face mask from one of the employees. It wasn't hard to get one as that was also one of the products they used to promote their shop.
