I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 10



Only Krnovel

Episode 10

I went home yesterday and did various things all night so I didn’t sleep well.

But my body felt refreshed.

The reason is… … .

‘As expected, the effects of the drink I had yesterday are still lingering.’

Of course, it wasn’t permanent, it was temporary.

There was a number next to the drink’s effect, and when I first drank it, it was 24.

But now, exactly 12 hours later, it had changed to 12.

It was reduced by half, so it must mean time.

‘The guest drank two glasses yesterday and was 36, so the second glass will be half as effective.’

It was said that it was temporary and that drinking a lot would not cause infinite stacking.

“That’s not important though.”

okay.

There was something more important than this.

There were two more, the first being… … .

[Cheon Yu-jin (??)]

*situation

─Activation of the protection of the earth

─??? Active

─’Mint Chocolate Frappuccino’ in progress (12)

This was it.

Right in the text window.

I could see it too.

I was more embarrassed than when I saw it from other people.

I just passed it by yesterday without thinking, but I was so surprised when I realized it.

Even the content was unusual.

Let’s say the mint drink is effective.

‘Protection of the Earth’ and ‘???’.

I guess it has something to do with all these mysterious things.

I still couldn’t tell for sure.

Still, it seemed like it would give me a clue to the first and second things I had to do in the note I wrote yesterday.

And one more important thing… … .

Swish.

I looked up at the roof of the cafe from the empty lot I arrived at.

That was the biggest reason I installed it last night.

Why else would you come to work this early to check this?

“It’s a creation… … .”

If you look at the detailed application effect of ‘???’ in the status.

A mysterious ability that only ?? can use

─Opening

─Manufacturing

─Create a Tur

─Talent Absorption

>Kim Hana’s dexterity

It was like this.

How can I not stay up all night like this?

Still, the nuance is intuitive and you’ll understand it right away.

The first two, opening and manufacturing, are ones I have already experienced.

‘Opening your eyes means looking at the text window with your eyes and seeing the aura.’

Manufacturing seemed to be my beverage manufacturing skill, which I probably thought was my talent.

Well, no matter how talented you are, it’s a bit strange to act like you’re skilled just by looking at a recipe book once.

So, I’ve accepted this point quickly. There are only two things left… … .

‘Talent absorption.’

Below that, it says, “Kim Hana’s dexterity.”

I guess that might be the name of the first guest.

So then, the dexterity is the dexterity of the customer.

“That’s why it’s ambiguous.”

I hate to say this, but I’ve always been good with my hands.

This is because he inherited his grandfather’s dexterity, who was an excellent carpenter.

Like touching pictures or various tools.

It was thanks to that that I thought I just had talent when I was able to make drinks easily.

So it was a talent that was a bit hard to gauge.

If you add 1 to 10, you get 11, so it’s 11 times better, but if you add 10 to 100, you get 110. That’s only a 10 percent increase.

‘I tried making a drink and it seems like my hands got a little lighter.’

I don’t know if there’s a big difference.

That doesn’t mean I was disappointed.

What’s more important is the fact that it absorbs talent.

This was truly an incredible ability.

It’s amazing that you can have someone else’s talent.

What if you steal the talent of an athlete, especially a national team player or a world-class athlete?

What if you stole the talent of a super smart genius?

What if you can’t swim but gain swimming talent?

‘I don’t even know if there’s a limit to the number.’

It was truly enormous.

If I had gotten this when I was working at the company, I would have rolled my eyes right away.

I guess I got obsessed with this and went wild again.

What could I have done, blinded by greed…?

Maybe whatever happened would have been a big deal.

“Is that fortunate?”

My eyes don’t roll around like they did then.

I’m just curious and curious about other people’s talents.

Yeah, that was it.

Anyway, I didn’t really care about that right now.

It was enough to know that talent could be absorbed.

Instead, I was interested in one other remaining curiosity.

‘I have to check it now.’

To do that, first of all… … .

Let’s start by taking care of the luggage on your back.

I had just come home from work, panting, carrying a big load on my back.

Ding, ding, ding

The door opened.

After lightly ventilating, I went straight out to the backyard.

After passing the garden grass with slightly blurry eyes, he climbed up onto the roof with the load on his back.

“Oh my, it’s hard. Phew─.”

Thud!

The bean bag was not heavy, but it was bulky and difficult to carry.

The reason I brought this is… … .

‘The conditions for creating a turret are to create a space where you can rest comfortably. Is this enough?’

I placed the camping table on the flat surface of the roof where I had laid down yesterday.

Then… … .

Sarah~

A green aura escaped from his body and seeped into the roof.

It was the opposite feeling from when I absorbed the green aura yesterday.

“So this is how it is… … No, is it really like that?”

A text window I found by chance on the roof yesterday.

However, only the possibility of creation was known, and no method of creation was provided.

So I tried this and that, but in the end I couldn’t do anything and came back home…

‘You solved it too easily.’

The method was clearly written in the text window.

To create a space where people can relax comfortably… … .

If I had known this would happen, I would have checked my text window a long time ago.

Anyway, the creation condition for ‘creating a place’ is to create a space where you can rest.

Actually, I think it would be better to just lie down like this… … .

Also, when it comes to resting, it’s natural to look for a place where you can lie down if you sit down, and a soft place if you’re on a hard surface.

So what I came up with was the bean bag and camping table that I had at my grandfather’s house.

And the result was now in front of me.

Pot!

[A small shelter on the roof] was created.

“Oh.”

It was nothing special, but the new window that appeared before my eyes made it something special.

‘So it was a shelter?’

Somehow it made me think about the meaning of the cafe’s name.

It seems that this cafe originally provided a space to relax along with food.

Leaning back on the beanbag was definitely better than just lying on the roof.

The log doesn’t even bend its back.

And above all,

“It’s good in the morning too.”

The effect here is… … .

[Relieves sleep disorders, calms the mind and body.]

Maybe it was because I installed the beanbag that some suitable effects came to mind.

What’s unfortunate is that this doesn’t apply to me right away.

Since I never had trouble sleeping to begin with, I slept well last night.

Rather, I used my body to sleep better and more soundly than I ever slept before.

And peace of mind and body… … .

‘Not really.’

Although I was surprised, I quickly calmed down.

Even now… … .

It was quite satisfying to see the scenery with the sounds of birds chirping and small insects waking up and moving around.

But I now know that this ability is not just an illusion.

It might actually work.

Talent absorption, this too, and drinks too.

I have once again confirmed that this is a mysterious place.

“Um… … When are you going to sort that out?”

Now that I’ve checked everything I had to check, things are starting to look good.

The grass in the backyard seems to have grown more in the meantime.

Doesn’t this help with calming the mind and body?

I had blurry eyes earlier, but in the end, it was an unavoidable task.

……let’s do it.

Let’s just get rid of it now that we see it.

The moment I made up my mind.

“huh?”

I saw someone loitering at the entrance to the path.

A guest this early in the morning?

* * *

First, I came down from the roof.

And I still watched the people wandering around the empty lot.

Something about the movement seems unfamiliar.

It looks like he’s literally wandering around trying to find his way.

I don’t think anyone has ever been here before, so how did they come so early?

‘Did I just take the wrong route?’

That might be the case.

He was wearing a hat pulled down low, baggy training clothes, and a backpack on his back. He might have been planning to go to a nearby mountain.

Because there is a path leading to the backyard of the cafe.

at that time!

Ouch!

Now, the look of surprise on his face as he discovered the cafe was clear.

Then, when our eyes met on the roof… … .

“Whoaaah!?”

He fell backwards in surprise and screamed.

The expression on his face as his hat came off probably resembled the expression on my face when I saw my first customer yesterday.

An expression as if one had seen a ghost.

The eyes were already big, but they got even bigger and looked like surprised rabbit eyes.

‘I think it looks like a rabbit anyway.’

Do I look that surprised?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that he has a fierce look.

A little shock.

“Uh, um.”

Anyway, I decided to go down.

First of all, I think you might be surprised because of me.

He didn’t come in right away, but he’s a potential guest.

Dingle~ Dingle~

And then he opened the door to the cafe and said hello, deliberately moving the sign so that it was visible in an exaggerated way.

“hello?”

“Oh, hello… … How are you? Hey, ho, by any chance… … ?”

“Yes, this is the boss. I was just up on the roof to clean up the place, so I’m sorry if I startled you.”

I explained calmly, keeping an appropriate distance, so as not to surprise anyone further.

Fortunately, it seemed to have calmed down a bit. The woman, who had been looking around, noticed belatedly that her hat had come off when she fell.

Then he hurriedly wrote it again.

The surprised rabbit-like eyes were instantly covered.

“Oh, that. Is this a cafe?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s a cafe.”

“… …Are you open for business now?”

“It wasn’t like that originally, but let’s do it a little early today, huh?”

There were also some things that surprised me unintentionally.

He told me to come in.

The guest came in, looking around cautiously.

He is a very cautious person.

Anyway, the moment you come inside!

Gulp~!

This time too, the aura surrounding the guest began to appear.

As expected, this is what you see the moment you enter the cafe.

What was attached to this guest was a gloomy, gray aura.

There was still so much I didn’t know.

‘Everyone has a different aura.’

It’s not just color.

The feeling and the atmosphere were completely different.

It was so different that you could feel it the moment you saw it.

Anyway, I learned something new this time, so I’ll have to write it down in my notebook later.

“I, I… … .”

I suddenly raised my head at the sound of a voice.

‘this.’

Meanwhile, the customer standing in front of me seemed to be looking around anxiously.

First, let’s take the order.

“I’m sorry. Would you like to order?”

“That, that… … .”

I tilted my head at the sight of her not being able to speak properly when told to order.

Were you that surprised just now?

But the reason soon became clear.

[Go Na-eun]

*situation

─Panic disorder due to burnout.

─Worsening of various anxiety symptoms resulting from panic.

A text window attached to a gloomy aura.

The condition was a little bad.

I was so surprised at that state of affairs… … .

No, is that why you’re so surprised?

anyway.

There was something more eye-catching than that.

The word that anyone can see is ‘Gonaeun’, a name.

Considering that it looked like ??? to the first guest… … .

‘Why is it different?’

I thought about it while the customer was hesitating, unable to choose from the menu.

‘Oh! What if it’s someone I know… … ?’

But that was a bit strange.

Because the face I saw earlier was definitely a face I didn’t recognize.

She had white skin, rabbit-like eyes, a small face, and distinct facial features. She was as pretty as a celebrity.

If I knew someone this pretty, I would have recognized her the moment I saw her…

‘celebrity?’

Wait, I think I’ve heard that somewhere.

If it’s Go Na-eun… … .

Ah! I remembered.

‘Idol?’

It was the name of a member of an idol girl group.

I can’t quite remember the group name.

What kind of crow was it? I think it was something like that… … .

But more than that.

“Ah! Ugh… … .”

It’s very different from the image I knew.

‘Is it because of the contents of the status window?’

I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
