Miyuki's story

This is it, just a small decoration. As long as you put it on your shoes, you can tie your shoelaces automatically!

You don't have to worry about losing any chances in battle because your shoelaces are untied!

What a great invention, meow!

I must mass produce them and give them to all the Radiants!

But little Emma... Can you add a little function to my current program?

That's enough! Miyuki, what are you thinking!

You used a huge amount of Phoenix Asia's reserve funds. I can't forgive you for not reporting this to me, the Vice President! How could you?!

Research this unrealistic machine, mass produce it, and also give them to people for "free"?!

What's wrong with you? Well, I guess you don't even have a brain to think about it!!!

Don't be so mad, little Phoebe!

Your wisdom is as plain as your chest. It's hard for you to understand someone like me.

Also... Since when did the President need to report to the Vice President?

You! What did you say?

How impulsive you are, little Phoebe. You look like a very smart person, but unfortunately, it's only your looks.

Miss Miyuki, the first batch of data has been sorted out. Please take a look.

Thank you, Diana. Send the kids in the lab a bonus and ask them to keep working on their inventions.

Come on, Phoebe, check this out.

This is... A physical report about the Nightmare Lords? Even... Even the body fat is recorded?!

So, this stupid machine...

Yes, Phoebe. This Auto Shoelace Tying Machine 1.0 can transmit the user's body data to the terminal. With a few statistics, you can get a lot of unexpected information.

That's so sneaky... But, hmph, it's also quite impressive.

It's not the time to admire me. You think this machine is only for collecting information?

What? What else can it do? What is it?

I discovered that you also used this machine today.

I-I just wanted to know what on earth you are doing. Is that... No way, my weight is clearly within the standard range...

Ahhh!!!

Hahaha, you are so cute, Phoebe!

(Calling) "That's right. We're investing in the Tying Machine 2.0 this time, which is even better than the last one."

"You can use it wherever things need tying up. We can also perceive more comprehensive behavioral patterns."

"If you place it near your head, for example, use it as an automatic bow tying machine or automatic hair tying machine, it can even sense the user's mood fluctuations."

"Alright, I will keep the expenses under control. Don't worry, Phoebe."

"If you want to express your admiration for me but don't know how to say it, I can give you one to wear on your head, hehe! Gotta go, bye meow!"

Ugh... I can't make Phoebe happy, and the worst thing is, these guys are here.

I won't ask who you guys are. Consider it as me giving you the courage to attack me.

We were careless. She knew we were going to attack her...

Did she make that phone call just to tempt us to attack her...

I created the image of being absent-minded to let you think you have the chance of getting me.

But everything I said on the phone is true.

Is my Tying Machine 2.0 awesome?

Ah, I heard it's out of stock at the moment because it's so convenient. Everyone's supporting it. Selling these machines has made me a lot of money.

With such a large number of users, it seems the statistics department will have to work overtime all night. Should I arrange subsidies for everyone now?

Miyuki... What do you want to do with this information!

Making money! What else do you think I want? Have you forgotten that I'm a businessman?

But since I've told you these things, you... must have predicted your own fate, right?

No one can destroy the little secret between me and Phoebe!

Ta-da! Dream Cafe is officially open!

No matter if you're a Radiant or a Nightmare Lord, you can all enjoy great leisure time here.

I am Miyuki, the staff on duty today.

A cafe that doesn't reject Nightmare Lords? Haha, interesting.

She deserves to be the youngest president of Phoenix. She's very brave. So, what can you do for me?

Here's the menu, but... We don't know much about Nightmare Lords. If there's anything you want that's not on the menu, we'll try our best to do it.

What if I say, I want a glass of your blood?

Oh, I know what you need, meow! We have a red wine set meal with fries and rich tomato sauce. It's very suitable for bloodthirsty guests.

Hah... Really interesting. Well, I'll look forward to it.

Dream Cafe? This seems to be the place!

Ah, a new guest, meow!

This is a routine visit from SEED. Miss Miyuki, I'm Kiraya. On behalf of SEED, I think you should know the dangers of running a business in the Dream.

You claim that this place is not only open to Radiants. Once you encounter Nightmare Lords... Nicola!!! Why are you here?

How could people from Uroboros just appear in front of everyone like that... Be on guard! Prepare to fight!

Hmph, you overestimated your strength. By the way, Miss Miyuki, I'm just a regular customer. I'm very curious about what you'd do in this situation.

As the shopkeeper, of course, I need to protect the safety of my guests. Miss Knight from SEED, please don't do anything to make this hard for me.

If you choose to fight, I can only fight for the guests.

Miyuki! How dare you defend Nightmare Lords! You!

I wish you great fortune! Meow!

Damn it! Miyuki, Radiants will not allow your cafe to continue to exist!

What? I was planning to open a hundred of them.

You'll have to kill me today, or else I'll tell the truth to the Ten Saints. SEED will never allow things to go as you wish!

Don't say anything unlucky on my opening day.

If you come back next time, I hope you can have a good afternoon here with your friends, Miss Knight.

Hahaha! So fun, Miyuki. I will come to your cafe often.

Good luck with your business! This is a blessing from Uroboros!

"Nicola, a Nightmare Lord, belongs to Uroboros. She likes the color red, she hates cold colors. She mostly goes out at nighttime and after rain..."

What a hopeless vampire... Well, it seems that the existence of the cafe is necessary.

Continue to open more shops, meow. Soon, I will be able to collect more of the Nightmare Lords' everyday habits, meow!

Apparently, the goods being sent to SEED have been getting intercepted recently. I think it's time for me to handle it myself.

With all due respect, Miss Miyuki, I don't trust you, even though SEED is cooperating with Phoenix.

Knight Kiraya, are you still angry about last time? What a child...

I guess I have to perform well this time to save my precarious image...

Huh? Can we call this an old friends' reunion? It seems that the situation is a little different this time.

Nicola! Uroboros sent you to intercept my goods! I won't let you do it!

Miyuki, I'm a regular at your cafe. What? Are you trying to fight me this time?

Whether it's for the cafe or for now, I'm only doing what a businessman should do - protect the interests of my customers, meow.

Hmph, maybe it's a businessman's rule, but... You will live to regret this!

Because you will pay the price in blood!

That's impossible! I can't lose to you!

It's tactics! You've been moving around, consuming my energy... Did you know that..?

Yes, Miss Vampire.

Nicola, the notorious Nightmare Lord, is well-known for her bloodthirsty and frantic nature, but...

Even I know more about your blood cycle.

You only have one feast a month. I guess you don't want to lose your mind because of hunger, right?

You haven't really eaten for 29 days. Did you get yourself involved in this for "hunting" reasons?

How do you know... It's the cafe?!

You're collecting our intelligence!!!

Hmph, how very smart... Uroboros will not let you go!

Since you've already discovered the truth, please keep visiting the cafe. Goodbye, Miss Vampire.

Miyuki... Miss, I've misunderstood you this whole time. I must apologize.

Knight Kiraya from SEED, I heard that you don't like to wash your hair, you talk very loud and you grind your teeth when you sleep...

Wait... You!

You think I'm just gathering information about Nightmare Lords? What a naive Knight...

Well, do you want to buy your own intelligence? I can give you a discount. Let's talk about the cost of a buyout, meow.

Has the intelligence been sorted out?

Yeah, I prepared five. I'm going to write to Camille, Yuffie, Berial and Rotania.

Finally, the opportunity to hold everyone in check, to be revered, and to make a lot of money, meow!

Ugh... SEED's secretary general is so weak. I should have sent the letter to Ten Saints. That was a mistake...

Yuffie is showing a better attitude, while Rotania is angry... The one who's the most difficult to deal with is Berial, ugh, man...

Men are strange creatures. Ah, not including Camille.

Miss Miyuki, there are some Radiants who want to see you. They all... Want to talk about buying all your intelligence.

Yeah? Let them come together then.

Hello, everyone. Phoenix will handle all the intelligence fairly and openly. Please tell me what you want.

Maki, all in.

Wow, Miss Kasumi is always so frank and cool. You deserve praise for protecting your leader.

I'm doing it for myself. I have some... Secrets that I can't let anyone know.

I wonder if your own secrets are also on the selling list.

No problem, no problem. Then I shall offer you a buyout price of -- 50 million gold, for one person, including myself, meow.

That's too much. In this case, we can solve it in the way we agreed to before -- violence!

Huh? So you all came prepared. Then I must do something too.

How could it be... So powerful...

Well, I've been underestimated.

Besides being a businessman, I am also a Radiant.

Also... A Radiant who shouldn't be underestimated.

Before you get into a fight next time, you'd better get to know more about your opponent. A one-sided evaluation is proof of your inferiority.

For you guys, there's still a long way to go, meow.
