SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon - Chapter 65
Library

Chapter 65

Ive been thinking about this for a long time, but it seemed clear that this system did not simply make mechanical reactions.

As if reading my mind, it offered quests or rewards, and sometimes it seemed to make fun of me. There were times when it used a friendly tone and displayed text that seemed to have been scraped from a viral blog.

Is there really someone inside the system?

That doesnt make sense though, hmm.

I wondered what the intention was if this system really responded to me. It hasnt done any harm to me so far, but I dont feel like its just helping me.

Anyway, its clear that it wants to throw me into the dungeon.

Of course, I will never go. I immediately turned off that ominous quest window.

Rather than going to the dungeon, I decided to become a coffee slave, so I handled the accumulated orders, but it wasnt long before I hit my limit.

The red light flickered on the system window because I ran out of stamina. In addition, the coffee beans were also bottomed out.

Im sorry, but we are closing our business now.

What? Already?

Here, Ill give you ten times the ruby, so please sell me more!

I ran out of coffee beans. Im sorry. We will open the business when the ingredients come in.

Then, give me lemonade!

Its all gone, too.

Aaaagh!

After sending the desperate customers outside, I didnt even have the strength to move a finger.

I put green beans in the roaster and lit it with the power of the ring. Then, as I smelled the coffee beans being roasted, I collapsed on the table.

Ugh.

Since it is a small home roaster, the amount of coffee that can be roasted at once is small. Until now, its been fine, but when the customers flocked in earnest, it became inconvenience.

Should I buy a commercial roaster? Just in time, the last quest reward increased the amount of empty land in the space. I think it would be nice to have it installed there.

I wish you could give me a roster instead of useless things as a quest reward.

I muttered deliberately.

As I guessed, if there is a will in this system, please listen to my opinion and reflect it.

You know, the roaster that turns automatically. The one that can roast a lot at once. It can be installed in the space.

What are you muttering to yourself, meow?

Kkyuuuu..

Next to me, Mieum and Lime looked at me with strange eyes. Hmmm, I guess you dont understand my big meaning.

Come to think of it, I received a cafe table as a reward earlier. How do you use that?

Tiling! The moment when I tried to re-read the system notification, a new message popped up.

[Comfortable Cafe Table () can be installed. Do you want to install it?

Yes / No]

When I selected Yes, a hazy light flashed and the cafe table changed.

The top plate was made of dark brown thick wood and had a warm atmosphere. It looked a little bit more luxurious than the original table.

A wooden cafe table. When you sit down, you can feel a little comfortable.

Note: Satisfaction +1, Comfort +1]

[Clear more quests to collect various furniture. You can upgrade your cafe.]

Give me the roaster.

[Collect various furniture.]

[Collect various furniture.]

I see. This system listens to me, but it only hears what it wants to hear.

It was the part-timer that was more urgent than the roaster.

In fact, on the first day when the number of customers began to increase, I already posted job openings. However, even though the conditions were better than the average, there were no applicants because of the location. As soon as they heard that it was in front of Dungeon Gate, they turned it down.

Umh.

At that time, when I was in agony, the store door opened again. I barely got up on the table and said,

Im sorry. Were out of ingredients today, so were closed.

Hey, I guess Im late.

The visitor was Ki Yoohyun. He was alone today, not with the twins.

Wearing a black coat, with his slightly long hair combed nicely, he smiled bitterly as if he had guessed the situation when he saw the empty store and the melancholic me.

Yoohyun-ssi, dont you want to work part-time at a cafe?

Id like to.

yes?

It would be an honor to work at your cafe, Rieul-ssi.

I didnt know hed say that he liked it.

Isnt your guild banned you from doing double jobs?

There is no rules like that.

Suddenly, I remembered my memories of working at a company before the regression.

At lunchtime, there were employees who left a nearby cafe and bought coffee from a distant cafe where they had to cross two railroad crossings.

Later, I found out that the part-timer at that distant was handsome. I was curious too, but I couldnt go during lunch time because I was busy eating and sleeping.

I looked up at Ki Yoohyun and did a simulation in my head for a while.

White shining cheeks, balanced features, long arms and legs that match his long coat, and a pair of sparkling eyes that seem to tell a story just by looking at them.

If he works part-time here, the number of customers is likely to increase.

Im just joking. I cant use a guild hunter as a part-timer

Thats unfortunate.

Ahaha

I hope you dont look at me with such a sad expression. Were lucky that there are only a cat and a slime who are busy playing here, because its a face that could be misunderstood if other people saw it.

I got up in front of the table.

Please sit here. Ill give you something to drink.

Arent you already closed?

Thats true, but I have enough for you, Yoohyun-ssi.

Fortunately, there were enough beans to make two cups of coffee on the bottom of the box where the beans were stored.

Since I was tired, I want to drink a sweet drink. Still, I want the finish to be clean, is there anything like that?

Ah, this is it. There happened to be a suitable recipe from the new recipes I got today.

Im going to make a new menu.

Im looking forward to it.

Next is the ingredients.

The Dimensional Shop has the ingredients it needed. I bought a whipped cream made from the milk of A-class Golden Triangular Rhinoceros.

First, add sugar to the whipped cream . For this menu, it was important to make the right viscosity, neither too watery nor too hard.

When I listened to the whipping machine, it felt moderately heavy, and it was perfect when it flowed down.

Next, I poured espresso into the glass and added ice and water to make a strong iced Americano. After pouring the freshly made whipped cream on top of it, the process was over.

All right, Einspanners done.

[Item: Einspanner ()

Status: Good (Time Remaining: 00:30:00)

Effect: Stamina and Energy are continuously restored for one hour. (10 points per minute)]

The thick and bitter iced Americano was covered with sticky whipped cream. The layered appearance in the glass was also pleasing to the eye.

I decided to drink this finished menu right away.

The sweet and soft cream entered my mouth first. The rich taste of milk and sugar were just sweet enough to make me feel good.

Next, the coffee flavor. The thickly brewed Americano neutralized the creamy taste, leading to a delicate change in taste.

This is the taste. It is sweet and soft, but the finish is clean.

Sipping Einspanner while sitting down on the chair gave me strength. Its due to the effect of Einspanner, which gradually restored my almost-zero stamina and energy.

Hee, I think Im going to live a little now.

Its really good.

Ki Yoohyun also drank with a cup of Einspanner. At that moment, a beam of twinkling light rose above his head.

I was lost in thought as I watched it for a moment.

.

Its not every day, but just like today, Ki Yoohyun often came here and ordered coffee.

Considering the distance between the Cheongna Guild and the Dungeon Gate, I have a reasonable suspicion that he seems to come whenever he has a chance.

That doesnt mean hes doing anything special here. All he does are drinking coffee and chatting about daily life before going back.

His daily chatter is.

The guild members went to the lower-grade dungeon today. I didnt go because they said I didnt have to.

or sad.

I heard you went to the dungeon with Hunter Choi Cedric.

The expression is strange. I didnt go there, I got caught up.

Thats too bad. I also want to go with Rieul-ssi.

No, I have no intention of going to the dungeon even if I am dead and come back to life.

or unusual.

Hunter Han Yiseong was very disappointed because he missed the new S-class. I heard his whereabouts are unknown now, do you happen to know about it?

Well, I dont know, hahaha.

Its amazing. The new S-class, as well as the plant dungeon. Rieul-ssi is always involved in something different from the past.

Yes? What did you just say.

its nothing.

It looked like an interrogation.

Anyway, at first I felt like he was a regular after seeing him so many times, but it changed a little from some time ago.

Since when.

Hm uhm.

Rieul-ssi?

Umh.

A sudden enlightenment flashed through my mind.

Ah, its from then on.

At that time, after buying the Purifying Tree from Lee Choroks Happy Green Life Farm, I ran into Ki Yoohyun, who was with the twins, on my way back.

I dont know exactly how to express it, but the meaningful eyes that were looking at me and the feeling of distance that has diminished a bit.

Rieul-ssi.

A soft voice was heard. I was surprised at how close it was. He caught my attention so easily just by slightly tilting his head. His bright eyes turned to me, and I felt a cool touch on my hand.

Theres powder on your hand.

.Ah.

I had coffee powder on my wet hands. Ki Yoohyun picked up the tissue and gently wiped my hand.

As if that was all he had in mind, his hand quickly fell, but the distance between us was still close.

What is this? Normally, I would have thought about what else it meant to Ki Yoohyun.

Yesterday, I even asked my friend, Shin Mira, through KakaoTalk.

[Me: Theres a customer who comes to the store every day]

[Shin Mira: Fixed income is the best]

Yeah, thats true...

All right, I shouldnt think too much, lets just ask.

Yoohyun-ssi seems to like coffee very much.

I didnt say Id openly ask him. Still, if I want to ask why he comes every day this is right.

Its because the coffee made by Rieul-ssi is delicious.

The coffee is actually delicious, though.

And.

Ki Yoohyun hesitated for a moment, blurring the end of his words. He looked like he was choosing the right words.

At that moment, Mieum, who was lying on her belly on the floor, suddenly intervened.

Waeoong, waeoong (This man, you hardly notice the taste).

. What? What are you talking about?
