“Kkyuuu!”

Umh. I’ve recently started to feel the same way.

Maybe I’m the problem……?

Maybe the DNA of the corporate worker from my past life has been exerted. Even if I think I want to play, I will unintentionally look for work to do.

Ugh, let’s stop imagining scary things.

“No, it’s not like that. The cafe would be idle once the hype died down. I’m only busy right now because it’s on the peak level.”

“Nyaaaah (Heummm, I hope it works out the way you want it to)….”

I rubbed Mieum’s belly fat, and then returned to the front of the table.

Anyway, it’s time to make dalgona.

First, I filled the pot with a little water and put plenty of magic sugar on the ladle, then I turned on the gas.

Joo Shinwoo, who followed me, turned on the spirit lamp and raised his ladle, asked in a curious voice.

“Should I do it like this?”

“Yes, don’t stir it.”

At the words, the twins and Ash straightened their posture and grabbed the ladle.

It was important to dissolve the sugar as it is without stirring it. When it was heated for a while, the sugar melted and became transparent, and bubbles began to rise.

“Not yet. We have to wait a little longer.”

The children were excited by the sweet smell that came out. There were some children whose eyes twinkled and blushed in an easy-to-understand manner, and there was also a part-timer at our store who worked hard to pretend that it didn’t bother him.

As the sugar water boiled down, more bubbles came up, and little by little, it turned brown.

“…You can stir it now.”

At my permission, the children added the pre-dipped baking soda and began to stir.

I also added two tablespoons of baking soda to the pot and turned off the burner. If you stir it while it’s on the fire, the temperature will rise too high and there would be a risk of burning.

When stirred quickly with a whisk, the dalgona turned light brown and swelled up.

When it is sufficiently inflated and the inside of the pot becomes thick, pour it on the pre-laid sheet. You have to move your hands quickly because you have to scrape it all off before it hardens.

“Wow……..!”

Watching the golden lumps pouring down, Joo Shinhee exclaimed in admiration. Looking around, the children also poured dalgona on the sheet in front of them. It swelled up without a burn.

“That’s okay! It’s soft.”

“I made it better, eonni.”

“…..Cih.”

When I was young, I used to burn my tongue because I tasted it when it was sticky, before it hardened properly. In the meantime, I burned the ladle to black and ate it…….

“Waeoog?!”

I knew it.

I hugged Mieum, who was still trying to eat a hot dalgona lump, and put her away. You shouldn’t look at me like that. I saved your life.

Since this dalgona is intended to be added to drinks, I decided to harden it without pressing it flat. After letting it swell for a while, it hardened just right.

The dalgona, wrapped in paper, was broken into appropriate sizes using hands and spoons, and then I placed in a container.

The remaining process is simple.

I put ice and milk in a transparent glass cup that shows the inside well. A generous amount of freshly made dalgona slices were placed on top and espresso poured over it. I also didn’t forget to decorate the dalgona pieces made by the children as toppings.

Tiling!

[Item: Dalgona Coffee (★★★★☆)

Status: Good (Time Remaining: 01:00:00)

Effect: All stats are increased by 100% for 10 minutes.]

After completing the drinks according to the number of people, a ringing system window appeared.

Dalgona coffee has a pretty good effect. I didn’t expect it would be a 100% increase in status. If the strength is 100, it becomes 200, so it is more efficient than any buff potion.

Another thing to note is the Grade.

Unlike before, a 4 stars Grade came out from the beginning. The status retention time is also more effective.

This was the level-up effect of ‘Cafe in My Hand‘. This is the meaning of “when making drinks in the store, the level of perfection is higher“. As all recipes went up to 4 stars, their effects were strengthened.

In addition, it was good to be able to drink up to five cups of coffee a day without getting the ‘caffeine addiction‘. As I was dealing with the rush of customers, I quickly became groggy.

‘What a relief.’

But why are my eyes getting wet.….

Now it’s time to taste it. Each person took a cup of dalgona coffee and sat down.

“Thank you for the drink.”

“Wow, it smells like sugar!”

“……hmm.”

First, I picked up the dalgona that was used as a topping and took it to my mouth.

Crunch! The soft dalgona with a lot of air bubbles crumbled in the mouth. The sweet taste of sugar mixed with the slightly bitter burnt taste was a taste that I did not get tired of.

I also handed out dalgona slices to Mieum and Lime, who were complaining next to me. The two of them were quiet for a while as they melted and ate the dalgona.

“Nyaaaah (I want to eat more)!”

“Kkyuuuuuuu, kkyuu!”

It would have been nice to have Choi Yichan here, I felt sorry for him. This sweetness is just what Choi Yichan likes the best.

I don’t know what he does for training to get stronge … I wish he could come back soon. I’m going to feed him a ton of dalgona.

After stirring the dalgona powder, which began to melt little by little, to mix well with the drink, I tasted it with a straw immediately. Along with the sweet drink, I chewed a piece of dalgona that came into the mouth.

“……!”

“It’s delicious…..”

“You must be a genius!”

The children who drank the dalgona coffee poured out their appreciation. Everyone’s reaction was different, but I could tell that it was delicious without looking at the bar above their heads.

I glanced at Ki Yoohyun next to me. He, too, was drinking dalgona coffee in front of him with a soft expression.

Come to think of it, I’ve met him several times, but I still don’t know much about this man. According to Mieum, the guess that his sense of taste is greatly weakened is the part that worries me.

It would be very stimulating if you drink a sweet drink after normally not being able to taste well. Wouldn’t it similar to the joy of having a snack after having an upset stomach and eating only unseasoned white porridge for a week?

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Oh no. I suddenly felt pity, so I must have stared at him too much.

“Have some more of this.”

I scooped up another spoonful of dalgona pieces and poured them into his cup. Eat at lot of dalgona, my action was out of a pitiful heart.

“……?”

Suddenly, it was quiet around me. When I turned my head, the children were staring at me.

Ash frowned, and the twins’ eyes twinkled. Then, when our eyes met, they turned their heads.

Guys, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but don’t be so obvious.

Joo Shinhee suddenly brought up a new topic, apparently trying to cover up the awkward atmosphere.

“We went to a B-Grade dungeon yesterday.”

“I also got the boss. It’s a B-class Venomous Kraken!”

“I’m the one who got the last hit!”

“You idiot! My curse weakened that octopus, that’s why you were able to hit it.”

“If I didn’t hit the headshot, we missed it, you idiot!”

Oh my…..

I was going to do a Dungeon Detox, but the topic went away with the dungeon story.

Surprisingly, Ash showed interest to this story.

“Hoo, that’s pretty cool. The Kraken is a tenacious guy that even I can’t get rid of at once.”

“……! Are you a Hunter, too?”

“It’s not like that.”

At the startled question of Joo Shinwoo, Ash shook his head. The twins made eye contact with each other and looked at Ash again.

“You look pretty strong, though?”

“Right, I think you’re strong?”

“…. Huh, you guys seem pretty strong for humans, too.”

“I’m Joo Shinhee, and he is Joo Shinwoo. I’m an archer and he’s a wizard, but he’s good in using dark curses.”

“That’s a great talent. Call me Ash.”

They suddenly became friends?!

The twins and Ash chattered about other monsters. The dungeon talk continued actively.

Dungeon Detox, heuk….

The original planned Dungeon Detox was completely out of order, but … well, enjoy yourself anyway, that’s fine.

And as time passed, it was time for the guests to return.

“I almost forgot about this.”

Ki Yoohyun, who rose from the chair, took something out of his pocket and held it out to me. When I received it, it was a small object with a single round button.

“What’s this?”

“Umh … should I say it’s like a crime prevention bell? Rieul-ssi seems to be going through a lot of dangerous things.”

“It’s not like that…….”

I was panicked before when I was swallowed by the Monster Hell at the farm, but it ended well.

“Keep it and press it if something dangerous happens. I will come to help you.”

“Can I try pressing it once?”

“Yes.”

Click!

I pressed the button, but it didn’t make a loud sound or flash like a normal security bell. However, Ki Yoohyun smiled and said that it worked properly.

Is there an app notification on his phone?

First of all, I decided to accept it as his way of saying thank you. It’s not a big deal so far, but the number of customers in the store has increased significantly. I may need Ki Yoohyun’s help when problems arise.

Still, it’s best not to have anything that makes me use it….

“Fufu, did you have fun today?”

“……Not really.”

“Shall I ask them to come over next time?”

“Well, whatever.”

“Ash, you did a great job today. Good night.”

The woman with a foolish face said so, then she closed the door and left. He was offended by the way she smiled every time she saw him.

Still, he was able to successfully infiltrate this place as a part-timer.

The coffee she made was very tasty and his mana quickly recovered. What Ash particularly liked was the cafe mocha. The harmony between the bitter coffee taste and the Chocolate Sauce from Hell was fantastic.

Thanks to his steady drinking of the coffee she made, his mana has restored to some extent.

[You are using Mana Saving Mode.]

[Mana recovery amount: 20%]

[Some spells may be unusable due to lack of mana.]

Now he can easily kill that one woman as much as he wants to. He could even make her obey his orders through mind control.

But why?

He felt reluctant.

Ash inadvertently put his hand on his forehead. It was the spot that Rieul had just stroked. There was still a subtle warmth.
