K-Cafe OwnerSorry, Player.

Player!

K-Cafe OwnerI didn't want things to get violent.

K-Cafe OwnerAnd Mushroomon didn't mean any harm. Please forgive us.

PlayerA Digimon?! What's going on?

K-Cafe OwnerSo you know about Digimon? That makes things easier.

K-Cafe OwnerThere's something special about you. I guess I'd better explain.

K-Cafe OwnerFirst let me say I don't intend to hurt you. I have my reasons for all this.

K-Cafe OwnerEveryone who drinks kopi jawak gets brought here straight afterwards.

K-Cafe OwnerThe shock makes ordinary people lose consciousness, but not you.

K-Cafe OwnerI forgot you're a gifted hacker.

K-Cafe OwnerI brought you to cyberspace to extract your memories.

K-Cafe OwnerI use Mushroomon's power to take the experience of drinking kopi jawak from your mind.

Player...

K-Cafe OwnerThis should be the first time you've ever experienced the thrill of kopi jawak.

K-Cafe OwnerThis is where I take that memory from you.

Player...?

K-Cafe OwnerI know what you want to ask.

K-Cafe OwnerWhy let people drink kopi jawak if I'm just going to steal their memory of it?

K-Cafe OwnerThat's what you're thinking, isn't it?

K-Cafe OwnerThe answer is simple.

K-Cafe OwnerI want people to be able to experience the incredible taste and sensation.

K-Cafe OwnerBut there's a problem. Kopi jawak is extremely expensive at 10 million yen a cup.

Player!!!

K-Cafe OwnerIt doesn't seem fair that only the super-rich will ever get to try it.

K-Cafe OwnerI was desperate to find a solution.

K-Cafe OwnerAs a last resort, I came up with the idea of selling the memory of drinking kopi jawak to wealthy elderly people.

K-Cafe OwnerThey're the ones who could afford to buy it despite the hefty price. But they can't drink coffee because of their poor health.

K-Cafe OwnerBut when you know you can't have something, it just makes you want it even more.

K-Cafe OwnerI suppose that's the nature of desire.

K-Cafe OwnerSo I implant the pleasure of drinking this amazing coffee directly into the brain.

K-Cafe OwnerBut I don't think young people should miss out on the chance to experience the thrill of drinking the world's best coffee.

Player...?

PlayerBut why erase my memory? Couldn't you just take a copy of the memory?

K-Cafe OwnerThat's just the type of question I'd expect an outstanding hacker like you to ask.

K-Cafe OwnerThat's what I originally intended to do.

K-Cafe OwnerYou have to consider the type of wealthy people who buy the memory of drinking kopi jawak...

K-Cafe OwnerThey want that amazing experience all to themselves.

K-Cafe OwnerThey want to feel that they are the only ones to taste it. If anyone could do it, it would be worthless.

Player...

K-Cafe OwnerThere's also another reason I erase the memory of people who've drunk it, but it's not as important as that one.

K-Cafe OwnerOnce a person has tasted kopi jawak, the desire to drink it again can become all-consuming.

K-Cafe OwnerI've experienced it firsthand. That's why it's essential that I erase the memory.

K-Cafe OwnerDo you think it's pointless that I want people to taste it but am then forced to erase all memory of the experience? I certainly do... Hahaha...

Player...

K-Cafe OwnerI hope you understand the situation, Player.

K-Cafe OwnerI do this so everyone has the chance to try coffee that would usually cost 10 million yen a cup.

Player...

K-Cafe OwnerThank you. So please allow me to proceed.

K-Cafe OwnerI'll only erase a small portion of your memory. It's completely safe and you won't feel a thing.

K-Cafe OwnerYou want to know about the girl?

K-Cafe OwnerWell...it's not good news.

Player?

K-Cafe OwnerI planned to extract her memory while you were fighting Mushroomon, but she wouldn't let me near her.

MushroomonSorry about that.

K-Cafe OwnerI'd never usually do such a thing, but I had no choice but to take extra steps.

PlayerIs she okay? What do you mean by "extra steps"?

K-Cafe OwnerOf course she's okay. I promise.

K-Cafe OwnerSorry, I didn't explain that very well.

K-Cafe OwnerTo be specific, I had to extract a little more of her memory than I usually would.

K-Cafe OwnerThere's no need to worry. It won't affect her everyday life.

MushroomonWe're sorry, but as he said, she's fine.

K-Cafe OwnerShe'll only experience that amazing sensation once. I've already sold the memory.

K-Cafe OwnerIf I'd left her with that memory, she'd be overcome by the desire to drink kopi jawak again.

K-Cafe OwnerThat wouldn't be good for her.

K-Cafe OwnerWe'd better get back to the cafe.

K-Cafe OwnerI'll extract the kopi jawak experience from your memory.

K-Cafe OwnerYou won't just forget the taste; you'll go back to being who you were before you ever heard of kopi jawak and K-Cafe's secret.

K-Cafe OwnerAre you ready?

K-Cafe OwnerOne more thing...

K-Cafe OwnerI'll also erase your memory of the fact that I'm a hacker who knows of the Digimon's existence.

Player!!!

K-Cafe OwnerI just want to continue my quiet life as a cafe owner.

K-Cafe OwnerI love that cafe. I hope you do too.

MushroomonSorry, but this won't hurt.

Player(A white light is filling my head... I'm so... tired...)
