7 007 The hometown of the brave is beyond the sea_1

"Ah, I get it now, you are from another world, Lin Ge, no wonder you were so surprised when you saw us," Karina exclaimed as if she had an epiphany.

Lin Ge was silent as he sliced a lemon into thin pieces, digesting this fact.

"I'm not supposed to have traveled through time, right?" he suddenly asked.

"If you want to take a look over there, you just need to ask any customer to take you, the key is who opens the door when you leave. If you open the door, it leads to Earth, if a customer opens it, it leads to the Aeos Continent," Nilu explained.

So that's how it is. No wonder the bar, located in a not so secluded area, had only two customers yesterday. It turns out it faces another world, though I wonder where the exit on that side is located.

"Scared, huh? If you're scared, just resign quickly, and don't come back tomorrow," Iris attempted to reclaim her bar, urging Lin Ge to resign.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Ge smiled again, "This is quite good, isn't it? On the contrary, this situation makes me even more excited. Bringing fine wine to a world lacking in it, I am now filled with motivation."

Iris picked up her own American Beauty, drank it in one gulp, and slammed the glass down on the bar, very dissatisfied with the outcome.

Nilu's gentle smile surfaced, "It's great that you think this way. It would be very troublesome to hire someone else if you ran away."

"I'm enough, aren't I? Why is there a need to hire other people?" Iris grumbled.

"If your drinks can impress the manager, I, of course, have no objections."

Iris fell silent, very aware of the objective reality that the drinks she mixed weren't as good as those Lin Ge made.

Prince Lieyang finished his drink and hurried off, leaving only Karina in the bar.

Nilu went back into the break room, while Iris sat back down at a corner table, occasionally glancing over at the bar.

"Lin Ge, could you take me to see your world sometime? I'm really curious about it," she asked.

"If you promise not to cause any disturbance, I will consider your proposal," he responded.

"Of course, no problem. I'll do exactly as you say, whatever you ask me to do," Karina flirted with another suggestive look.

Unmoved, Lin Ge continued to wipe his glasses, "Does the customer need any more drinks?" he asked.

"No need, just chat with me."

"Don't the customers have their own affairs?"

Lin Ge very diplomatically expressed his hope that she would leave after finishing her drink, but Karina completely missed the hint in his words.

"Nope, plus, won't you feel lonely if I leave you here by yourself at the counter? I want to keep you company."

From the corner, Iris's voice came with disdain, "Heh, such an easy woman."

However, as if Karina didn't hear, she didn't respond.

Lin Ge had no choice but to keep Karina company, hoping in his heart that the next customer would arrive soon, whether it was a lizard or something else, just come quick!

Regrettably, until closing time, no other customers came in.

Lin Ge put down the shining glass he had been wiping, walked away from the bar, and opened the door to the break room to the left of the bar.

When he entered the break room, Nilu was lying unprotected on the sofa, sleeping, which made his heart beat a bit faster.

"Nilu, could you please step out for a moment? I need to change clothes."

Nilu moved slightly on the couch, curled up with her legs on the sofa, and mumbled something unclear.

"Go ahead and change, I'm not looking..." she said.

Left with no other choice, Lin Ge took off his white shirt, revealing his upper body, and then took out his own clothes—a blue checked shirt—from the wardrobe and put it on.

After changing, he stepped out of the break room, and Karina, who hadn't left yet, saw his clothes and suddenly exclaimed, "You changed your clothes in there!"

"Is there a problem?" After work, Lin Ge's tone also changed.

"That busty woman is in there too, isn't she? You actually changed your clothes in front of her!" Karina's face turned red for some reason Lin Ge didn't understand, seemingly a bit excited?

"She was sleeping, so she didn't see anything, and I only changed my shirt."

"Can you let me watch next time?"

Did this guy even listen to himself when he spoke?

"No."

Lin Ge walked towards the door with a darkened face, took a few steps, then suddenly stopped.

He saw Lanya still sleeping on the sofa, her petite body curled up on the couch like a slumbering kitten.

If this cafe connects to another world, then the Adventurers' Guild she mentioned couldn't be some offline gaming store, and she wasn't live role-playing, but rather a real young Wizard.

What to do, should he wake her up and go to that place with her?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ge approached the sofa.

If he just left like this, he would certainly hurt the heart of a lonely girl, and what if she came back to the cafe tomorrow, how would he face her?

To say it was all a misunderstanding? That sounded too much like an excuse, she would definitely think he was deliberately playing with her.

Even though it was a misunderstanding, he had after all promised her, and a promise made to someone should be kept.

"Lanya, wake up."

He gently patted the young Wizard's shoulder, calling out to her.

A muffled sound came from beneath the Wizard's robe, and the girl awoke rubbing her eyes.

"Lin Ge, are you off work?"

"Yes, are you hungry again?"

The girl blushed and gave a small nod.

"Then I'll take you to a nearby convenience store to get something to eat."

Even though Lanya didn't know what Lin Ge meant by a convenience store, she still followed him out of the bar.

Looking at the familiar streets in front of him, Lin Ge started to doubt the truth of what Nilu had said, does the Aeos Continent truly exist?

But the shock of seeing a new world on Lanya's face seemed to prove the existence of that other world.

"What place is this?" she asked, looking at the clean and tidy streets, the bright street lamps, her amethyst-like eyes full of wonder.

"It's the world I'm from, another world completely different from the one you're familiar with."

Lanya seemed to accept this setting quickly, exclaiming, "Could this be the homeland of the heroes?"

Lin Ge was a bit puzzled, "Heroes?"

"There are actually rumors about heroes from another world on the continent, it's said that heroes come from another world, chosen by the gods, hence they possess great talents and luck, always able to defeat strong enemies and grow. No mistake, this must be the world of heroes."

The young girl looked somewhat excited, her cheeks flushed, and Lin Ge laughed, "Haha, perhaps so."

"If Lin Ge went to our side, maybe you could become a legendary hero too."

Thinking of this, Lanya grew more excited; if she could cling to the coattails of a hero, she would never again have to worry about food and drink.
