R.o.S.E Jokes
Deep in the heart of Princess Island stands an unassuming yet famously bizarre café.
It's unassuming because, from the outside, it looks just like any other on the island: a big right-angle counter facing the street, stocked with fine coffee beans ready to brew at any moment.
It's famous because its staff lineup is absolutely ridiculous.
The young lady of the main R.o.S.E family runs the register. The Nie sisters take turns as servers. A deserter from the Four Blades of Divine Grace sits in the corner drinking coffee. And there's a so-called Dark God who descended to the mortal world to experience life, pestering the shop owner every day for ten yuan to eat ramen.
No one can figure out what this café is actually for.
By day, it's a spot where Alliance soldiers grab coffee and cookies.
By night, it might turn into Squad 08's combat meeting room, Granny's temporary infirmary, or Shi Wuyou's hiding spot to spy on his sister.
The shop owner is both the café boss and Rococo's personally appointed commander. On occasion, he also doubles as the staff's teasing target, Juno's stress reliever, and the male lead in all kinds of weird jokes.
Why come here? Simple.
When you're exhausted from the battlefield and just want a warm coffee, the staff won't ask about your kill count—they'll only ask, "Want sugar?"
When you want to talk about your troubles, the staff might not comfort you, but they'll find strange ways to make you forget them.
When you're running all over the island from some Dark God… well, chances are that same Dark God is sitting right here, drinking coffee too.
Some say this is the most dangerous place on Princess Island, since the staff could start fighting over the shop owner at any moment.
Others say it's the safest place—because if a real fight broke out, the combat power inside could take down half the Alliance Army.
The catch? They'd probably infight first.
After all, there's only one shop owner… and the list of people who want to kidnap him stretches from the café all the way to Astaroth's Dark God headquarters.
The shop owner only has one line: "I just wanna run a café in peace. Seriously."
No one believes him.
The staff don't—he comes out with new bruises every few days.
The Alliance doesn't—he gets dragged in as commander for every meeting.
The Dark Gods don't—they're convinced he'll end up on their side eventually.
This café on Princess Island is more than just a café.
It's a battlefield, a cafeteria, a spying den, a romantic hellscape, the birthplace of 996 work culture, a debt the fastest runner can never pay off, a sewing machine that gets banged on every day… and the indescribably messy story between one man and his sixteen (or more) staff members.
