NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16: Happy Birthday
The street singer didn't really want to go home, but she had nowhere to stay other than this place. She went back to her parent's apartment but took a few minutes to stop before continuing to walk.
The apartment is old and dilapidated.
The air in the surrounding area is pretty damp which makes it hard for someone to breathe in this place.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
"I'm home."
She walked inside and no one replied to her greeting. She looked at the living room and saw both of her parents were arguing with each other.
"WHERE IS THE MONEY!!!"
"THERE IS NO MORE MONEY!! YOU USED IT ALL FOR ALCOHOL!!"
"BASTARD!! THEN HURRY UP AND SEARCH IT!! I WANT AN ALCOHOL NOW!!"
"Y, YOU USED MY INHERITANCE MONEY!! HAVE NOT HAVE ENOUGH? I WISH I DIDN'T MARRY YOU!!"
"SHUT UP!!"
She hurriedly ran away to her room and put a blanket over her body.
'I don't want to live in this place....'
She closed her eyes and thought about her future. She wanted to become a popular singer and got out of this place. Hearing the voice of her parents, she was wondering when it would be over. She remembered the box of the cafe which had been given by Haru and Sora before. She opened the box slowly and gulped since it had been a while since she had something sweet. She looked around her room and found a small candle.
Putting the candle on the cake, she lit it up and smiled. It was just a simple cake, but she was very happy with it. Before she blew the candle, she made her wish to become a popular singer in her mind.
'I'll become a popular singer!'
She opened her eyes and blew the candle.
"Happy Birthday!"

Sora and Haru had arrived in their apartment.
Sora was in the living room to eat the cake. Haru went back to his room to change to something more comfortable. He also opened his phone to open a "group chat" since he wanted to send a photo of the gorilla that he had taken at the zoo before.
[Ding! Haru has sent a photo!]
Haruka: "@Gintoki, gorilla...."
Gintoki: "Sigh..... why are there so many gorillas in my world? I want a lot of beautiful girls in my world!!!"
Kuroneko: "@Haru! Hey, can you tell me how you can do magic? I can't seem to do it."
Kuroneko felt that it was unfair even though both of her and Haru were coming from a normal world, but why couldn't she use magic when he could use it.
Haruka: "Hmm, the concept of magic in the Fairy Tail is also quite ambiguous and it depends on feeling, maybe you should try to go to Yajima's world to try whether you can use it or not."
Haru didn't want to tell Kuroneko that if she couldn't use magic then it was impossible to use it.
Kuroneko: "@Haru, can we go to another world?"
Kuroneko was eager to go to another world.
Haru looked at the feature on the "chat group". He found that he needed 100 points to go to another world.
'100 points, huh?'
Haru wasn't sure whether 100 points were being used to teleport only or it was also counted as a teleport back. But he wouldn't go to another world since he couldn't leave Sora for a few days.
Haruka replied, "@Kuroneko. It's possible. You need 100 points to teleport to another world, but for safety, you need to prepare at least 100 points since you might not know whether 100 points are enough for you to go back after you've been teleported to another world."
Yajima: "Everyone is welcome to come to my place."
Tsunade: "Don't go to mine. It is very dangerous. There is a lot of bandit and ninja here."
Gintoki: "You guys can come to mine too."
Haruka: "Oh, I want to go to Yajima and watch the Grand Magic Games."
Gintoki: "That's interesting."
Tsunade: "Ugh, why do I have to become a Hokage?"
Yajima: "Hahaha, how about we make our own guild in my place? You guys should enter the game at that time."
Everyone was shocked by his words but they thought for a while and shook their heads. They thought it was possible for Tsunade but it was different for Haru, Kuroneko, and Gintoki.
Kuroneko and Gintoki couldn't use magic.
Haru was only a beginner in magic and he needed time to learn it.
Haruka: "@Yajima. That's an interesting proposal, maybe we need more members in our group chat."
Gintoki: "Hmm, new members, huh? I wonder what kind of person the new members are."
Kuroneko: "Can you invite someone to this group chat?"
Haru thought for a while but he didn't find such a feature on the "group chat".
Haru: "Probably not for the time being. But I'm not sure in the future, maybe we can invite someone to join the "group chat"."
Tsunade: "Hmm, I want to invite Suzune here."
Yajima: "I don't have anyone that I want to invite to the "group chat" right now. I want to invite some people from Fairy Tail, but they are trapped on Tenrou Island now."
Gintoki: "Ugh..... Shinpachi is asking me for a salary, but I don't think I should let him enter this "group chat"."
Haru was a bit surprised and replied, "@Gintoki, have you found Shinpachi?"
Gintoki: "I have helped him during his work at the restaurant, her big sister forced me to make him work in my place."
Gintoki: "That gorilla woman!! I will have my revenge somehow on her!"
Haruka: "@Gintoki, forget it. You will lose no matter what. Her strength is at least Tsunade's level."
Tsunade: "Oh, that woman? Yeah, that woman is very strong, just don't die when you're trying to have revenge on her, okay?"
Gintoki: "...."
Yajima: "@Gintoki, have you tried to learn magic? My flat magic is quite good for running away and hiding."
Haruka: "That's not solving his problem! He needs to pay his rent and the salary of his employees first."
Yajima: "Ah, that's true."
Gintoki: "Guys, how long are you going to make fun of me?"
Haruka: "Not yet."
Yajima: "Not yet +1."
Tsunade: "Not yet +1."
Kuroneko: "Not yet +1."
Gintoki: "I, I will go out to drink first, I'm going out!!!"
They had a speechless expression when they knew that Gintoki had run away.
Haruka: "Yajima-San, I'm going to open a cafe, do you have some advice?"
Yajima: "Ah, really? What kind of cafe?"
Haruka: "Maid cafe."
Kuroneko: "Pervert."
Tsunade: "What is a Maid Cafe?"
Gintoki: "Hey, that's a good idea!!"
"............"
Haru was wondering why Gintoki came back when Gintoki learned that he was about to open a maid cafe.
---
Reading the chat, Yajima thought about the idea of creating a maid cafe. He knew the existence of maids was for the group of noble and rich people in his country. Most people wouldn't even have a chance to hire them and thought that it was good idea to do it in his own world. Folding his arm and rubbing his chin, he nodded and replied, "That's a good idea! Tell me when you've made it?"
Haruka: "Maybe in a few months? I will buy a house and renovate it to become a cafe."
Yajima: "Then you should come to my world first. I will teach you how to cook here. I'm sure your cafe will be popular!"
Haruka smiled and replied, "Yeah, I will do that, but before can I ask all of you a question?"
Everyone was waiting for Haru to say something and wondering what his question was.
Haru: "Have you told anyone about the existence of the "group chat"?"
