[Owner, four hours have passed]
"Yeah... thanks for the alarm."
Yuzuki yawned as he kicked himself up and off of one of the chairs that were placed inside of the kitchen. He didn't exactly have a bedroom here in this restaurant, so there wasn't really much choice. He could have slept at one of the tables, but he decided against it and just slept on one of the chairs inside of the kitchen.
He did make sure to make a note to buy a bedroom though.
Yuzuki stretched his body while giving another small yawn as he rubbed the corners of his eyes. While he didn't actually feel tired at all, he instinctively did this action. Pretty every single person does the same thing when they wake up.
[Congratulations on being the owner of the restaurant for twenty-four hours]
[Received Prime World Access]
[Received Guardian Summon x1]
"Eh? What's up with this?" Yuzuki blinked upon seeing these messages popup. He already could understand that he was rewarded these for being in the restaurant for a total of twenty-four hours, but he was more confused about the rewards. "System, can you explain? What exactly is this Prime World Access?"
[Prime World Access refers to the ability for Owner to travel to a modern world that closely resembles Owner's original world. The Prime World holds nothing supernatural and is a normal society. Owner will find a few differences in comparison to Owner's original world, but most will remain the same]
"So, it's basically a place for me to visit whenever and relax?"
[That is the simplest explanation, yes]
"Hm... I like it." Yuzuki didn't mind be able to travel to a world where he could just relax. He knew that he could travel to other worlds belonging to his customers, but he would prefer to relax in one that didn't exactly have anything that would be out of the norm. Such as if he ended up getting attacked by a dragon or something. "Wait, does that mean random people from this Prime World might end up coming into the restaurant?"
[Indeed]
"Oh god..." Yuzuki held his chin in thought. This was both a good and bad thing then. If what the system said was true about this Prime World being a normal world without supernatural elements, then that would mean that customers from this world would freak out if they saw a customer that might potentially not be human... "What do I do...?"
[Owner could tell them that it's a cosplay restaurant]
"Will that even work...? Whatever, I guess that might be my only option." Yuzuki sighed. It would be weird to just say that the restaurant had a lot of cosplayers, and he would also need to explain to the 'cosplayers' why he was saying such, or they would be extremely confused. "Anyway, what about this guardian summon thing?"
[This allows the Owner to summon forth a permanent Guardian that will make sure that the customers remain passive and that hostility between them is defused. Guardians can take the forms of inanimate objects as well as different creatures. Big or small]
"A guardian, huh? I guess that could take some work off my shoulders if customers were to suddenly go into a rumble..." Yuzuki nodded in approval. Though, he was a bit concerned. "What is the nature of these Guardians, anyway? Are they even strong enough to subdue some of the stronger customers?"
[Owner does not need to be concerned. Guardians are neutral and will not attack or cause trouble and will obey every command given by the Owner. They are already given knowledge of their situation upon being summoned. Guardians are also varying in different strengths, some stronger than others. Most Guardians are very much more powerful than the average human being. Some can compare to the strongest of gods]
"Hmm, I see. Then can I use the summon now?"
[Indeed. Would Owner like to activate the Guardian Summon now?]
"Yes, go ahead."
Yuzuki waited patiently as a dinging sound was soon heard, to which he then widened his eyes slightly in surprise as a glowing blue circle soon appeared on the kitchen floor. Runes seemingly started to slowly form within the circle, it stopped after a few seconds before the entire thing released a pillar of light.
Yuzuki watched as the pillar soon began to fade away, along with the runic circle on the ground. When it fully faded away, he widened his eyes before blinking in a bit of confusion when he saw what had been summoned.
"A hamster...?"
True to his words, on the ground was a tiny hamster-like creature that was white and black in colouration. It pretty much looked exactly like a hamster except for the fact that it also seemed to be covered in a dense divine aura from what Yuzuki could sense. The hamster appeared to be sleeping at the moment, evident from its body rising up and down due to breathing and that its eyes were closed.
'It's just a hamster... but, it's powerful.' Yuzuki honestly didn't think this thought would ever come to his mind. Despite how small and harmless this hamster was, he could tell it was no normal hamster. It had this divine aura that was probably even more potent than Shiroyasha's. "A divine hamster, huh? This is pretty weird..."
[Would Owner like to display the status of your Guardian?]
"If you don't mind."
It didn't take long before a bunch of information appeared in front of Yuzuki.

"Yep... not a normal Hamster. What's with that name too..."
Yuzuki just stared at the unconscious form of his first Guardian, though he did soon notice the body twitch slightly. Yuzuki just blinked as he watched as the eyes of the hamster twitched a bit before they slowly began opening, revealing a pair of bright silver beautiful eyes. The hamster then began to slowly stand up on its back to legs.
"Good to see you're awake." Yuzuki smiled as he saw the hamster looking around the kitchen. The hamster heard his voice and turned towards Yuzuki, to which it looked up at his face. It then widened its eyes in recognition before giving a small bow. "I see, you must know me already. The system did say that you were already informed upon being summoned."
The hamster nodded its head cheerfully.
"Your name is Romeleus, right?"
The hamster once again nodded its head.
"Let's just call you Rome for simplicity's sake." Yuzuki deadpanned slightly as he said this. The hamster gave a small shrug and nodded in agreement, saying Romeleus all the time would be kind of a bother. "Okay then! I will be counting on you from now on then, Rome. I hope you can keep some rowdy customers in check for me."
Rome gave a small salute with one of its small arms as Yuzuki chuckled. Rome then quickly ran up Yuzuki's body before sitting down atop of his right shoulder. Yuzuki gave a small nod before looking to see that his two helpers were currently unactivated, they were still in their original positions with their heads tilted downwards.
"Might as well get started on buying myself a bedroom, my back kind of hurts..." Yuzuki groaned as he walked on over towards the computer. He quickly searched up bedrooms, to which numerous different designs were displayed to him. It seemed that the bedroom wasn't too much, maximum around fifteen thousand tokens. "Let's see..."
He could see the different styles, ranging from more modern bedrooms to more olden-day looks. Some were furnished with wooden furniture and others being metal, he even could see one that was made more out of stone. It didn't take him long at all before he came across a room that had the colours of white, black and red.
The walls appeared to be a pure beautiful white, along with all of the furniture being mainly black with crimson red. From what he read on it, the bedroom came with the bed, a desk, bedside drawers, a few chairs, a small carpet, and also a bookshelf. "System, is there any reason for me buying a computer?"
[Computers are connected to the web back in the Owner's old world. If the worlds that the Owner's customers come from also have internet access, then this computer will be able to connect to that web as well. Owner may want to buy one to pass the time if the Owner doesn't wish to do something else]
"Hm, I see. Might as well."
It didn't take long at all before Yuzuki finished choosing everything he wanted to buy, the strongest computer was surprising pretty cheap. The total number of tokens that the items wracked up to was twelve-thousand, which he didn't mind using since he would still have eight-thousand more tokens to spare.
"And purchase." Yuzuki clicked on the purchase button. When he did, he heard a sound similar to that of a construction site before it stopped after a few seconds. Blinking, he walked out of the kitchen into the main restaurant area before looking around. He looked around for any change, which he soon found when he noticed that a new door was present on the opposite wall where the toilets were situated. "That must be it..."
Yuzuki and Rome nodded at one another before Yuzuki rushed on over towards the door, to which he then opened up before they both peeked inside. When they did, they both could see that the room looked exactly like how the display on the computer had shown. The only difference was that he could see the computer still in its box placed on the ground beside his bed.
"I guess I still need to set it up on my own. I guess I don't mind, setting up a computer is actually pretty fun. Rome, can you quickly go and open up the restaurant?"
Rome gave another salute before jumping off of Yuzuki's shoulder before using his sharp fangs to open up the box before rushing out the door.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Yuzuki and Rome were currently seen working on the computer, Rome was helping out with making sure that the wiring was all neat and tidy as well as connecting the wires to each part of the computer, being the main box as well as the monitor. Yuzuki was making sure to give the monitor a quick cleanup just in case.
*𝑫𝒊𝒏𝒈*
"Hm?" Yuzuki suddenly heard the dinging of the door opening as both him and Rome stopped there and looked at one another. Yuzuki quickly then got up from his chair before patting down his clothes before quickly making his way out the door, Rome quickly followed behind him "I wonder who we have now."
"Greetings, I welcome you to my Beyond Dimensional Restaurant."
