Chapter 30: 30

“Come in first.”

I decided to tell Choi Yichan honestly about my return and the planned future.

Returning from the future to the past … I was worried that no one would believe such an absurd story, but Choi Yichan’s life is the most important thing.

By the way.

“Yichan-ah, I have something to tell you.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“It’s … soon ██ will ██…..”

What?

I tried to say ‘Suwon‘, but my voice didn’t come out.

“On ██, ████ ████ is….”

Again. I tried a few more times, but it was the same.

Words such as Suwon, Dungeon, and Mutation could not be spoken at all, and it was useless to say it in a roundabout way. Any attempt to tell anything about the future was blocked.

“Meooow (It’s the intervention of causality).”

Seeing me in confusion, Mieum spoke to me.

“What? What is that?”

“Waeong, waeoong, waeong (The system prevents pre-regression facts from intervening in the present, because it is a memory that currently does not exist and will only happen in the future).”

“But it’s okay when I told Mieum about it before, right?”

“Kyaooong (Because I’m not part of the time axis).”

“How can you do that!”

In other words, it is impossible to directly tell Choi Yichan what will happen in the future.

I felt afraid and displeased that the system could even shut my mouth.

“Kwon Ri, what’s wrong?”

After I didn’t say anything for a while, Choi Yichan called me worriedly.

“Uh, yeah, that’s it.”

I looked up at Choi Yichan.

The body wrapped in the blue sweatshirt looks very strong. I could see the tight muscles that would never come out without proper exercise.

Is it possible to be so different just by awakening? I’ve awakened, too, but I didn’t change at all on the outside.

It’s been about 2 years since the last time I’ve met Choi Yichan, and in reality, it’s been about 5 years if I include the time before I returned. He was incredibly unfamiliar.

“It’s just a little … You’ve changed a lot.”

“Huh? Me? Oh! My face is a bit tanned, right?”

No, not that….

However, his simple and bright personality, his tendency to worry about others, and his inability to turn away from those in need, has not changed at all.

If this is the case, the same thing will happen again….

No, it’s not. It’s too early to give up. I have to find a way to change the future, even if I don’t say it directly.

Yes, talking with Choi Yichan might give me a hint. I struggled to swallow my discouragement.

“Kiyaaoong (Is that man your friend)!”

Mieum, who was lying on her belly on the floor, cried when she saw Choi Yichan’s long shadow.

“Meooong (Unlike you, he looks sincere).”

Instead of answering, I mumbled, pointing to a black stain on the floor.

“There is some ink here.”

“Waeuung….”

Mieum, startled, rolled her eyes.

I didn’t say anything, but she sneaked to the corner and raised her front paws. I guess she’s reflecting on herself. Yeah, you should be a little sorry.

It was really hard to clean the store with Mieum’s footprints all over it. Even after brushing and wiping with a mop, there was no end.

I even thought about using the cleaning skill I had forgotten.

The Floor is Shiny (E)
Details: (Lv. 1) Cleaning toilets can be done quickly.

This ‘the floor is shiny‘ really only applied to the bathroom. I had no choice but to wipe the floor and walls of the store myself.

Wait, then if I level up my skill, can I use it anywhere else besides the bathroom?

Well, I’ll figure this out next time….

At that time, Choi Yichan came back after looking around the store.

“Wow, you have a cat, too. It’s cute.”

Choi Yichan gently tickled Mieum’s chin. Mieum looked at him, and slowly lowered her front paws and placed her chin on Choi Yichan’s palm, making a squeaky sound.

She let it slide because she felt sorry for him.

Come to think of it, where’s Lime? Normally, it’d stick next to Mieum.

“Meooong (it went to the space)….”

Really? What’s the matter? Let’s put off showing off Lime next time.

I spoke as I turned to the espresso machine.

“Sit down. I’ll make you something to drink.”

“Ooooh.”

Choi Yichan looked at me with expectant eyes.

I has not yet made the basic five menu of cafes ordered by the system, but I decided to make a different menu today.

Since I met Choi Yichan for the first time in a long time, I wanted to make a drink that suits his taste rather than to finish the quest.

To sum up this guy’s taste in one word, he liked sweetness the best. There have even been times when he poured coffee mix over ice cream and ate it.

The menu I’m going to make today is similar to that, but a little different. I decided to make it sweeter than the common affogato.

I took out two glasses, filled each with ice, and used the skill. The espresso was extracted and poured onto the ice one by one. After the espresso on the ice cooled down, I poured milk into the glass and added vanilla syrup.

The last thing to put in is this. I opened the refrigerator next to me and took out the vanilla ice cream I bought from the supermarket yesterday. It was two flavors of vanilla ice cream wrapped in paper. It was a little expensive, but I’m glad I bought it with a big heart.

I put two yellow-flavored ice creams in Choi Yihan’s share and two blue-flavored ice creams in mine.

It’s like adding vanilla ice cream to the vanilla latte, so the sweetness will be very strong.  It was finished after I sprinkled chocolate powder on top of the ice cream.

I held out the glass to Choi Yichan.

“Okay, it’s done. Try it.”

“Woah, it looks delicious. Thank you for the drink.”

I also had a glass in my hand.

I took a bite of ice cream with a spoon, then mixed it with coffee and drank it. The fragrant vanilla scent and deep sweetness were mixed in the mouth in a balanced way.

After slowly savoring the taste, I watched Choi Yichan. He had just tasted the coffee, too.

“Is it good?”

“….”

“Choi Yichan?”

“…..”

There is no answer.

Instead, a long bar appeared above Choi Yichan’s head, and the golden gauge began to fill up.

Soon, the gauge filled up to the end, and the effect of exploding sparks appeared.

Well, it must be delicious. I took another sip of the drink again.

The softness of the milk and the rich taste of espresso wrapped the sweet vanilla ice cream. The sweetness seems to wash away the fatigue left in my body.

However, since I made it without following the recipe of the ‘Cafe in My Hand’ skill, there seems to be no additional effect.

The status window doesn’t appear even when I look at the drink…

Tiling! A familiar sound rang out.

[Congratulations! You developed a new recipe on your own.
You can register this drink in your own recipe. Please register the name.
Name: ]

Did the system have this feature?

After thinking for a while, I entered the name ‘Ice Cream Coffee’. Then, a new status window appeared.

[Item: Ice Cream Coffee (★★☆☆☆)
Status: Good (Time Remaining: 00:30:00)
Effect: Your body will get cold.]

Wow, it’s possible to register a menu like this.

After emptying all of my glass, I asked Choi Yichan, who was still silent.

“Yichan-ah, what do you think?”

“….”

… Gulp.

I don’t know that he’s really focused on drinking. Instead an answer, the golden gauge exploded again and a notification popped out.

[The target loves your coffee.
You made a deep relationship with coffee.]

Heum, heum.

I don’t know what that means, but it’s delicious, right?

Will they give me something? Achievement? Or is the quest completed?

However, no matter how long I waited, no new notifications popped up.

Uh, is this the end? This is the right mood to give me something really good!

Isn’t it natural to say, ‘Now that you made a deep relationship with coffee, you should receive a reward‘? According to the pattern so far, I thought the system would give me a golden ticket.

Did they just raise the standards? Did they only compliment me that it was that good now?

I feel like the reward is getting worse and worse….

I remembered a game where the system was pretty generous when I was a beginner, but when I leveled up to a certain extent, the reward was reduced like a ghost and they started charging. You’re going to screw it up if the system is like this!

I grumbled in my mind that the system was going to go bankrupt while saving user rewards.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp … huaaa, ah!”

In the meantime, Choi Yichan ate all the ice cream in the glass and gulped down the remaining coffee.

After drinking every last drop, he looks at the bottom of the glass as if it were a pity.

I picked up a tissue and handed it to Choi Yichan. Choi Yichan, who roughly wiped the cream off his mouth, looked at me. Those eyes were filled with joy.

“This is so delicious!”

A voice full of pure joy.

“That’s a relief. Haha, thank you.”

“Oh, it tastes like …. paaah, then it becomes soft.”

What does that mean….

But his sincerity was fully conveyed. Even without looking at the gauge above his head, I could feel it just with his expression and eyes.

“I’ve never had anything like this before. It’s so delicious!”

I was overjoyed with Choi Yichan’s intense reaction.

All the coffee I made so far has been well received. Even the first coffee mix tasted special.

But this is a menu that I came up with to suit Choi Yichan’s taste. Seeing a close person happy made me feel a different sense of pride.

I took the ice cream out of the refrigerator again and asked.

“Do you want me to make you one more?”

“Oh, good!”

Krak.

It was the moment when Choi Yichan put the empty glass down on the table.

It wasn’t a rough move, but the thick glass cup was shattered into pieces.
