The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 1: Just an Everyday Café in an Everyday Town

Even using some kind of brainwashing or mind control to force people to come here appeared amongst the possibilities. But in the end, she said: no!

Modifying the memories of others would raise unnecessary attention of other parties — supernatural parties. The thing she wanted to avoid at all cost!

Also, it wouldn't be the same if just empty-eyed brainwashed "zombies" hang around all the time — maybe even drowning on the floor.

If she would want that, she would simply use summons, which can do the same and can't initiate any meaningful conversation.

Only saying: "Whatever you wish, master!" and "Of course, my lady, just as you said!" and similar things... it was just depressing!

Really, after the shitty life she had back then, the only thing she wanted is some peace, and have this café. She wanted no part from that supernatural political Shogi that old man spoke about.

Using items, anti-divination skills, and her racial abilities, until now she successfully fooled the senses of every supernatural being she encountered, disguising herself as a simple human — no matter their power and perception, with the exception of one person, not one of them recognized her as a possible threat — or as a supernatural entity if it comes to that. And even that one person only did so because he knows where and what to look.

Though, she was still clueless how that one person was able to track her down here.

Yet, as she remembered it, maybe it was her who caused all of this, maybe she was the one who made a few slips under acclimatizing to this world. Indeed, she should look better ways to get money than robbing banks...

"But the use of YGGDRASIL gold was too risky. Exchanging it for money also risked the chance to expose myself. Damn! If just simply used stock trading, writing a program to automatize and optimize the process of selling and buying. I should have avoided this situation entirely! But no! I had to rob banks! Why was I even so curious robbing banks? It was fun, of course. Still, was a foolish idea..."

Being a programmer previous, she could do that. Yet, she still robbed a few banks instead of trading stocks, just because she was curious she could do it or not.

She must admit, robbing banks was not her finest idea... Yeah, it was ridiculously easy. She just made the security system glitch with her powers, then teleport in the sealed vault, and vacuum all the money and jewelry in her inventory, it was easy. Doing it with multiple banks all around the world, she gained a hefty sum; it helped to start her new life under no time.

"Human buildings really don't have protection against supernatural effects... Just now thinking of it. In YGGDRASIL there was also a similar monthly event. Doing heist on the nine central banks of the nine realms. The players could either join the wardens who intended to protect the vault or the robbers who intended to rob the bank."

Of course, she usually joined the robbers; it was more exciting than waiting for the players before the vault.

"Though being the warden you could manage the security system, that was also fun..." she grinned, remembering when she once took the mantle of a warden, taking over the security system and annihilating every invader under a few minutes. "I am so evil, fufufu!"

'Clang!' As she wondered on this, the little bell gently rang at the moment someone entered the door.

"Welcome to our caf-é. Ah, it is just you..." her happy, welcoming expression disappeared right away, spotting the person entered the door. Her look replaced with the expression of scorn and disgust.

"What the heck you want?"

"Oh, suddenly, I feel myself unwanted..." the tall man, wearing a maroon v neck long coat, and a fedora sit down in a seat before the bar, raising his brow curious before putting his hat on the counter.
