Chapter 100: 100

In an instant, the Wyverns leapt into the space of the Garden of Cthugha, the Eternal Living Flame.

“There it is!”

On a cliff on a sunny beach, they could see a brick cafe building.

However, as the Wyverns got closer to the cafe, they felt puzzled. An unexpected scene unfolded before their eyes.

Small fireballs lined up in front of the cafe.

“Now, one at a time, do not push!”

“Coffee, coffee, coffee!”

A cheerful answer followed.

***

Time, overflowing.

Ingredient, the stock is sufficient.

Consumer, they’re being curious.

Quest, there’s a reward that looks good.

The conditions were perfect for business trip, but one problem remained.

The fire spirits could not be brought into the cafe. If these fire spirits, whose bodies are made of fire, enter, the inside of the building will burn quickly.

However, if I said that I would not sell coffee to the spirits for that reason, they would be angry. The expectant eyes were directed at me.

“Perfect, gorgeous, wonderful!”

“Number one, fantastic, coffee!”

Pepe’s real-time reviews were also enough to stimulate the spirits. Pepe, you’re good at viral marketing….

After returning to the beach where the cafe was placed with spirits who were not about to back down, I was lost in thought.

There is an option to make coffee inside and bring it outside, but it is cumbersome.

I’d rather do this.

I took out moderately-sized (and also flame-retardant) plate from the warehouse on the first floor of the store. I don’t know why this stuff is in the warehouse. Come to think of it, this warehouse was large for the size of the store and had all kinds of items.

‘Why did Grandmother collect these things….’

Anyway, let’s leave the question behind.

With the help of Choi Cedric and Ash, I was able to quickly create the things I wanted. It is a counter where you can place an order and get a drink while walking outside.

The so-called walk-through counter.

“Now, one at a time, do not push!”

The curious fire spirits quickly lined up at my words. Since everyone ordered Irish coffee, it didn’t take long to process the order.

“Coffee, coffee, coffee!”

The last fire spirit received the coffee with a lot of cream in a porcelain cup. The moment the spirit drank the coffee while emitting a hotter fire, the quest completion notification popped up immediately.

Tiling!

“Oh, look over there!”

“Kyagyakyoo (It’s a Wyvern)!”

When I was about to check the reward sone by one, I turned my head to the sharp cry of Choi Cedric and Mieum … and I got startled.

Uh, that’s … a monster? No, there’s a person riding it?

Four monsters resembling dragons appeared in the middle of the bluish blue sky. If you look closely, you can see that they are flapping their wings with one person on their back.

It was the moment when I rubbed my eyes with my hands and tried to look again.

Wait … those wyverns, are they coming this way?

A brilliant aerobatic flight embroidered the sky. While someone’s screams echoed in the background, the Wyverns landed on the ground.

“Ouch, it hurts….”

Poof. The Wyvern disappeared as if melting in the shadows, and the people who got off the Wyvern’s back got up with the sound of pain.

I was astonished to see their faces.

“Umh … excuse me?”

I knew all of them….

***

“……so I was selling coffee to the spirits.”

It took quite some time to sort things out.

First, it took a while to calm the fire spirits who wanted more coffee and send them back. Also, the visitors who came by riding the Wyverns required some time to overcome motion sickness.

We barely sat down and talked to each other about what had happened. This is the summary of what we talked about.

First, Ju Noeul. She is a regular who often comes to our store to drink coffee.

“I was worried about the sudden disappearance of the store….”

“Ahaha, it happened to be like this. Ah, I’m Kwon Rieul. Please call me Rieul.”

“I am Ju Noeul … I’m the leader of the Royal Guild.”

Huk, she was a famous person. I thought she was YOLO life-seeker like me, so I felt an inner intimacy alone….

Wait, in this case, the heads of two Big Three guilds are regulars at my store.

Aren’t my regulars too strong? Is this the S-Classes That I Fed?

It turned out that she was an S-class Summoner, who summoned the Wyverns and flew here.

The second is Kwon Jiwoon.

“Ugh, Rieul-ah, get me some water, eub….”

“Are you okay? You’re sweating a lot. Hurry, drink this ice water.”

He can’t come to his senses even after emptying all the cups of water. I let Kwon Jiwoon sit comfortably against the chair.

Looks like he had a great flight.

There’s also Choi Yichan.

“Haha … long time no see, Rieul-ah. How have you been doing?”

I was dumbfounded by the nonchalant greeting.

He left behind a strange note and disappeared, what? How have you been doing?

“Long time no see? You’ve worried people, and that’s what you’re going to say?”

I was going to slap ahim on the back, but I gave up immediately. In the meantime, his body has become … stronger. It felt like my hand would hurt more if I hit it.

Not only that, but the atmosphere has changed. There was a slightly sharp look on his face, made him looked like a gentle large dog. He also wore proper armor, not his usual training clothes.

He has become more like a Hunter. It seems that the content of the note “I will come back stronger” was not a lie.

I met him for the first time in a long time, but it felt awkward when the atmosphere changed like this.

Choi Yichan lightly grabbed my hand, which stopped halfway as I was about to throw a smash on his back. The calluses on Choi Yichan’s palm touched my finger.

“…….”

I could feel Ash’s sharp gaze in the back of my head. He must have been nervous because there were a lot of strangers.

As if he was showing that he’s sorry, Choi Yichan scratched the back of his head with one hand.

“Haha … sorry. Well, I tried to contact you right away, but my phone didn’t work in the dungeon.”

“Of course….”

“I came out of the dungeon and tried to call you, but this happened again.”

Choi Yichan took his phone out of his pocket and showed it to me. The screen had been completely smashed somewhere.

“I grabbed it hard and it became like this, haha.”

A shy laugh followed.

This Choi Yichan, who closed his eyes when he smiled, was the Choi Yichan that I knew. Actually, Choi Yichan is Choi Yichan, so things will not be that different from before.

The awkwardness finally disappeared and I lost the tension in my shoulders. Choi Yichan followed me with a smile.

And the last one was my uncle.

My uncle, who has not been heard from since he went missing in the dungeon a long time ago. Choi Yichan is said to have stumbled upon him in the dungeon.

I changed the future and Choi Yichan survived, and Choi Yichan saved my uncle and the future changed again. When I thought about it that way, I was both happy and moved.

“Rieul-ah!”

“Uncle!”

He was nice to me in the past. I was so moved that I hugged my uncle for a while.

“Ah, thank goodness we met. Rieul, aren’t you a high school student right now? How did a student open a cafe?”

“I … I am twenty-three.”

He thought I was years younger than I actually was. What the hell happened to him?

“Is that so? No wonder my niece seemed a little big. Hi, yes, I’m glad the error rate is only this much. If it had been any further, I would have almost messed up my work.”

“….work?”

My uncle gave me a serious look.

“Niece, listen up. Among the items your grandmother left behind, there is one that contain the power of Cthugha. I don’t know who has it now, but we have to find it.”

“Are you talking about this?”

I showed my uncle the ring on my hand.

“Oh! I can’t believe you got it already. Oh, I’m proud of you, my niece. So now that crazy old man … no, we have to meet a fireball.”

“Fireball … are you talking about Cthugha?”

“Yeah, don’t be surprised and listen. There is a secret island in this field. They say that the road can only be opened by the guidance of the fire spirit.”

“Yes, I have been there.”

“We must meet Cthugha in the his temple on that island and make a contract. It’s embarrassing, but now I believe that this eldest son needs to….”

“The contract … has already been signed…..”

“…….”

“……Uncle?”

My uncle was speechless. It seemed that he’s disappointed. I felt a little sorry because I seemed to have unintentionally intercepted his words.

“Ehem, ahem! My niece, you have become a good child on your own. You’ve grown up so well, hahaha!”

But how does my uncle, who has been missing for a long time, know about the ring and the contract with Cthugha? Did my uncle meet the saintess too?

“More than that, Uncle, what have you been up to?”

“This worldline is tangled with too much work … To stop that …. hmmm … heum…..”

Mumble, unfamiliar words followed. In this way, it was difficult to ask what had happened.

I slowly released the arm that was hugging me with emotion.

Yes, how can I understand my uncle’s feelings? I hoped my uncle would calm down and turned my head toward Kwon Jiwoon, who just took a shot of ice water.

“What happened to Uncle?”

“He was lost in the maze dungeon and when he came out … eugh, eub.”

Kwon Jiwoon vomited again with a pale face.

My uncle was lost in maze dungeon, and he spent a month inside that place. However, when he finally got out, he could barely understand that six years had passed.

If I asked him any more questions, he’d probably spill what’s inside his stomach soon, so I stopped talking.

“….okay, I’ll listen to it later. Just take a rest….”

Then, I remembered one thing.

It has been a long time since Kwon Jiwoon took over the business, but the original guild leader of the White Silver Guild was my uncle. Now that my uncle has returned, Kwon Jiwoon’s burden seems to be reduced.

“Then, Uncle, are you returning to become the guild leader now?”

However, my uncle gave an unexpected answer.

“No, that’s impossible.”

“Huh, really?”

“What? Father, what do you mean?”

As if it had never been heard of before, Kwon Jiwoon also raised his head in surprise.

“I have already lost all of my hunter abilities. Now that I am not an Awakened person, I’m only an ordinary person, so I am going to step down from that position.”

“What … Father, what happened?”

“There was some stuff happened in the dungeon.”

“……!”

Doubts grew even more.

However, my uncle did not elaborate further. He just shook his shoulders as if he was trying to forget the terrible memories.
