I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 96

Episode 96

I didn’t think that everyone who came here would be a good person.

The definition of a good person was vague to begin with.

There is no one who has never made mistakes in life.

Of course, everyone makes mistakes, whether it’s a small mistake or unintentional.

So does that mean he’s not a good person? I couldn’t say that.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any bad people.

If you do bad things like this, you’re a bad person.

Even if you look at the video like now, you can see that I did something bad. That’s why I was worried.

I wonder if this kind of person is okay.

Jiing!

“huh?”

While I was thinking about it, I got a message from Lee Seon-ah. I thought it was another link, so I looked… … .

─But when I look at it again, it can be edited.

“Huh? Edit?”

─I didn’t notice it when I first saw it, but I can see it now. It’s definitely been edited here and there.

I watched the video again after seeing Lee Sun-ah’s message.

Now that I think about it, there was one scene that felt a little out of place.

That would probably have been better for Lee Seon-ah, who handles video.

Then the story changes again… … .

I sent a text message to Lee Seon-ah.

“There is no original?”

─I don’t know because it was a long time ago.

“Then, can you tell me more about this incident?”

─The story is that this person retired as a model due to the revelation of his bullying.

Are you saying that there is no specific explanation?

Then maybe this is just true.

Editing may have been done to make the video easier to watch.

But somehow I felt uneasy.

That was the feeling. You can’t just look at what’s on the surface.

But how do you find the internal one?

Asking the person directly seemed like a no-brainer.

Not only am I not in a position to answer, but there is no point in bringing up something that has already happened. Whatever the situation may be.

then…….

‘Ah! I should try immersion.’

Luckily, there was a way.

There was one problem though. There was a limit to what could be seen through immersion.

I don’t even know how to look at this part.

There are some parts that are ambiguous and don’t use immersion very often… … but I really wanted to see it this time.

While I was worrying, a good idea occurred to me.

‘Maybe I should picture the scene in my mind?’

In a case like now, there was a point in time when I wanted the scene.

So I thought I could use this.

“Are you glad there’s video?”

It may be ambiguous to say that it is fortunate that the bullying was exposed because of this.

You can find out more about that after you use immersion to see the details.

I immediately used immersion. Then, as before, the scene unfolded as if I had entered a dream.

‘Okay!’

When I was writing about immersion, I thought of a scene I had seen in a video, and it really was that scene.

I see two people. One of them is the junior I saw earlier.

But the other person wasn’t a guest, he was someone else.

“Am I really okay?”

“So don’t worry, I’ll edit it for you.”

“But does it have to be like this… … .”

“Do you like being under him all the time? Then keep doing that.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Are you going to do it or not? Decide quickly now. Is he coming soon?”

“I will do it!”

It was a scene where I couldn’t know the context, but I could roughly read the context.

That the two of them are planning something.

And after that scene, a scene similar to the video we saw earlier appeared.

A conversation between a person who appears to be a junior and a person who appears to be the guest’s former self.

‘This is also a bit strange.’

They said Lee Sun-ah was edited out, and it really was.

The conversation I saw on video was only a part of it.

“You have to match my weight. Then you can go out as a pinch hitter. Okay?”

“yes.”

“Do you hate being my stand-in? I mean, stand-in. You know that gaining stage experience like this helps your career, right? Back in my day, my seniors didn’t even give me this kind of opportunity. You know that?”

The tone of the person who was presumed to be a guest felt like he was hurling insults, just like in the video. However, the content contained words that were meant to be of consideration to his juniors.

Of course, it felt a bit like I was some kind of old fart. But the person listening to me probably knew.

Whether or not it really helps you.

And when I, as an outsider, looked at the situation, I could see that the suggestion the customer was making was not a bad one for the junior.

Although he was forcing himself to maintain his weight, the intention behind it was to give his juniors a chance.

‘It’s a little ambiguous.’

I came out of my immersion while savoring that sight.

Here’s another view of the kitchen.

I came out of immersion, but my hands still couldn’t move.

“hmm.”

I was worried.

I wonder if Corn Cream Coffee will help that guest.

The guests I saw in the immersion were confident and proud.

So different from now, when he would hide his neck in his shell like a frightened beast.

Losing weight could certainly help me find that confidence.

Externally speaking.

But I felt that the problem was more internal than anything else.

Lee Sun-ah said at first that she was a bullying model. That meant that she got a lot of hate for that video.

Of course, it wasn’t a scene that I could say was particularly well-done. But did I have to get scolded and retire?

I don’t know about that.

Even if I had been criticized for a video that was edited and not my original immersive experience… … .

It was impossible for a scar not to remain. And that wound has now festered and burst open.

So, I think it would be good to be able to heal those wounds… … .

‘We’ll need another effect.’

I decided to keep the menu as is and add some effects inside.

One with inspiration.

Another one with sacrifice.

If you include the picture, you can add a total of three more effects.

Of course, I can’t say that putting in a lot is necessarily good. You have to put it in a harmonious way.

‘What would be good?’

First of all, I will include the external softness and internal strength. Physical problems are also a window that visually shows the state of the mind.

I could tell that even without seeing the aura.

It was absolutely necessary when I was in a very weak state of mind.

And it seemed like it would be good to add some grit and exercise to this.

‘I’m glad that Manseonggong has grown up.’

Not only are there many effects that can be added, but the methods of adding them have also become more diverse.

Pour milk into a cup with ice and add corn cream, sacrificing both outer and inner softness.

And the talent for drawing is… … .

I poured the espresso over the cream as if I was drawing a picture.

Sarah~

Of course, it wasn’t easy to draw with this, so I drew with Aura.

Talent and perseverance were once again engraved.

Now all that’s left is to use the corn kernels as decoration on top of the coffee and use the effect. In this way, the drink is completed with the original corn cream coffee’s talent and added effects.

And at that moment!

Pot!

Aura poured out of the drink.

It was similar to the aura given off by people taking a break at a tiger shelter and leaving.

One thing that is a little different is… … .

‘uh?’

The effects attached to the drink combined and changed.

This is unexpected.

[Corn Cream Coffee]

*effect

─Repentance (30 days)

A drink with a completely different effect than before was created.

Weight loss, energy boost, exercise, being soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and tenacity all come together to create a new life.

The duration of effect was a whopping 30 days.

‘This is possible too.’

If I hadn’t done it, I would have passed it by without knowing.

Of course, this is possible because so many effects can be added.

Anyway, it was encouraging to discover new facts, because it expanded the possibilities.

And it also took away some of my worries.

Now I feel like I can serve without hesitation.

“Sir, your drink has arrived.”

He brought out a drink.

Of course, there was also Lee Sun-ah’s.

No separate effects were added here.

Lee Sun-ah doesn’t really need this kind of effect.

“Go, thank you.”

“Yes. Take it easy~”

I said this with a smile at the sight of a customer greeting someone with difficulty and then leaving his seat.

I don’t know if it was because of that, but it seemed a little more comfortable.

“What? Why are you different from me?”

“What? It’s the same thing?”

“No. Something is different.”

Lee Seon-ah’s eyes were sharp as she compared her drink with the drink the customer had just taken.

As expected, he’s a guy with a good instinct for no reason.

But I added exercise effects to Lee Seon-ah’s as well. I did it because she said she was suffering from the village chief.

Other than that, there wasn’t much difference in appearance.

“What’s different? It’s the same.”

“Okay, I get it.”

Still, he’s a sharp guy. I’ll have to be careful in front of Lee Seon-ah from now on.

Of course, even if you see it, you won’t be able to know the hidden facts. You wouldn’t know even if the aura was moved right in front of you.

“Oh, right. About that video from earlier.”

Lee Seon-ah suddenly whispered.

It seems there’s more to say about the video.

So I gave Lee Seon-ah a wink. I thought it would be better not to talk about it since there were still guests.

There was no way I could hear the whispering, but I still had an instinctive feeling.

The guest might have known.

It seems like you’re talking about yourself.

This was in a similar vein to what I told Lee Seon-ah when I told her I would be careful.

Fortunately, Lee Seon-ah was quick-witted and understood what I meant, so she quickly changed the subject.

“But where did the swan go?”

“Swan? I bet you’re playing in the garden with Lang.”

Or you could just flirt with Tori and get hit and end up in a quandary.

I changed the subject by talking about something like that for no reason. Then I asked Brownie to keep an eye on the guest’s condition.

I hesitated while talking about the video earlier, but soon I drank my drink.

It must be delicious because his eyes opened wide for a moment and then returned to normal.

One more bite, one more bite.

Then, as if he was hesitating for something, he stopped eating and stopped eating.

‘It’s because of the flesh.’

It seemed like he was worried that he might gain weight again because of this.

then.

“Drink a lot. It won’t make you fat.”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“You said you were on a diet?”

“When did I.”

Lee Sun-ah looked at him as if he was saying something strange, but he just put a sheet of iron on his face.

Thanks to that, there was movement again from the customer’s side, as if they had heard what I said.

Have a drink.

This time, I drank it all without hesitation. Then, I sat there for a while, savoring the taste.

Only then did I glance over and it seemed like nothing had changed.

But the aura has definitely changed a little.

Because the auras that seemed to dig into the flesh were blocked by something and could not enter.

I couldn’t keep looking at it, so I turned my head back, but it was clear that something had changed.

Of course, it wasn’t like he suddenly changed into a person.

It seemed that small changes that gradually take effect suited this guest.

‘That’s what they mean by turning from one’s ways.’

I wish I could change into a new person overnight, but that’s not possible.

Just as crops need to have their roots firmly planted in the ground in order to grow.

So, I hope that the guest named Gu Hae-seong will be like that too.

First of all, you have to make up your mind and change.

‘It’s been 30 days… … .’

It wasn’t that long of a wait.

If you wait and wonder what will happen, one day you will be told.

I figured I’d find out through Aura, or by coming back, or by some other means.

anyway.

The customer who finished his drink stood up as if he had made up his mind about something.

And he brought the cup and prepared to go back.

“Did you have a comfortable rest?”

“Yes. It’s too much.”

“That’s good. Come by anytime you need a place to rest.”

“… … I will do that.”

I greeted Gu Hae-seong briefly and greeted him.

There was no melody with a gorgeous aura behind that appearance, but one thing was gained.

>Harmony

It was a new unique talent.

I felt like I could tell what it was without even having to check.

But more than that… … .

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Did you know this?”

“Huh? What is it?”

Lee Sun-ah suddenly showed me a video and told me to watch it.
