Chapter 44: 44

“Huh? Lime? Ah, I picked it up right in front.”

Actually, it was a slime that I bumped into in the tutorial dungeon, but I said it with a little adaptation.

“I see. I asked because I wanted to raise slime, too.”

“How about buying one?”

It was not uncommon among hunters to raise slimes as companion monsters. It’s relatively easy to tame, harmless, and it’s cute. Slime ASMR videos were also popular, and a hunter’s slime gained popularity on YouTube and even released goods.

It is also easy to get a rental. All you have to do is pay a Hunter from Tamer class and ask them to sell it.

However, Choi Yichan shook his head with an ambiguous expression.

“Umh … I’ve looked into that once.”

“Why?”

There are so many people who want to buy slime from Tamer. It’s okay to have to wait a long time. If you take out the number ticket and wait, your turn will come one day.

The problem is that the Tamers are starting to screen people. Only hunters from a large guild, famous hunters, or even the high-ranking hunters could get slimes.

Currently, Choi Yichan’s Hunter-grade is E. It was the entrance cut.

In sumarry….

“You’ve changed your mind…”

“Hahahaha…..”

Even though it’s common knowledge, it’s really disgusting that they discriminate even when it comes to buy a slime.

Choi Yichan murmured, drooping his shoulders.

“I’m afraid I need to find another job instead of Hunter.”

“Uh … why?”

“Even if I’m an Awakened, I’m just an E-class. I don’t think I can do very well….”

“….Yichan-ah.”

“Ahaha! It’s a joke, I’m kidding it! I just said it!”

Contrary to what he said, there was a sense of discouragement that could not be erased with a laughter.

I remembered being neglected in the Hunter Market. Did he go through something similar?

“Then do you want to work part-time at our store?”

It was half a joke, but Choi Yichan laughed out loud.

“Oh, great! Please let me do it.”

However, as far as I know, there is no one more suitable for a Hunter than Choi Yichan….

I mean….

It was just the time when the coffee jelly hardened. I opened the refrigerator and took out the glass. When I slightly pressed the jelly with a spoon, I felt the elasticity.

Done, It hardened well.

It would be delicious to sprinkle whipped cream or condensed milk on top, but I skipped it this time because it’s not something to eat right now.

It would be nice to eat jelly made by reducing the amount of gelatin in a cold drink. Maybe I’ll try it next time.

[Item: Coffee Jelly (★★☆☆☆)
Status: Very Dark
Effect: When consumed, you develop caffeine addiction in one shot.
※ Be careful with your intake.]

As soon as I entered the recipe name, the item window popped up. Done, the effect of ‘caffeine addiction at once‘ was written on it.

Among the skills that Choi Yichan has not acquired, there are two S-ranks. If he has the pendant and this coffee jelly, he can get the ‘The Light that Illuminates The Darkness (S)’ and ‘Coffee is My Strength (S)’.

The grade determined by the sum of the status and the skill grade are separate matters. However, if he gets two S-class skills, even if Choi Yichan is an E-class, he won’t be ignored like before. No matter how rude and disrespectful tamers are, they’ll sell slime to him then.

I wrapped the coffee jelly well in a bag and held it out to Choi Yichan.

“Yichan-ah, this is … later, later.”

“Yes?”

He looked at me with a friendly smile.

“Later…..”

“…..”

“Later, when you enter a dungeon.”

“Dungeon? Hey, I’m not even a member of a guild, so what…..”

“Still! You can go in there. You might suddenly get caught up in a rift. After all, it’s a dangerous world.”

“….Uh.”

“Then, when you enter a dungeon, be sure to eat this right away. It will be easy to eat because it contains a lot of sugar. If you eat it then … It’ll help you.”

I really wish he won’t go. No matter whether there is a dungeon in Suwon on a snowy day, or people are in danger because of it.

Leave such work to the Dungeon Management Office, the Big Three Guild, or stronger hunters. I hope Choi Yichan stays in a safe place.

I wanted to tell him that if it wasn’t for the system’s interference, you shouldn’t enter the dungeon even now.

But … even if I tell him what I know about the future, Choi Yichan will make the same choice. Because he has a kind and friendly personality. He wouldn’t be able to turn a blind eye to the children caught up in the dungeon.

In the end, I even returned, but all I could do was give him the pendant and this jelly.

“Okay, I got it. I will eat well.”

Again, Choi Yichan accepted the coffee jelly without asking anything.

He didn’t forget to add, “I’ll definitely come to help you next time.”.

[Congratulations! Signboard was installed to spread the name of the cafe.
Finally, you’re ready to open a cafe.

The system update will start.
1, 5, 10 ……. 100% Complete.]

I was surprised by the sudden system update notification.

[Name: Cafe Rieul
Grade: F
Fame: 0, Popularity: 0]

The new window that appeared only added the status of the cafe, but there was nothing special about it.

I handed the pendant to Choi Yichan, and I’m ready to open the cafe.

I hope there will be no life crisis from now on and only good things happen. I should run a quiet cafe as my first goal.

A life of less work and more rest. I’ll be a person who doesn’t lose my focus.

I’m a little dissatisfied that the cafe grade is F, but … finally, I opened a cafe.

Then, a notification window popped up.

[A quest has occurred.]

[Quest: The Sorrow of the F-Grade Cafe Begins.]

[Main Quest: The Sorrow of the F-Grade Cafe

└ Quail: Don’t you know that only Hunter-related news is allowed on the Hunchan news bulletin board? Don’t just put anything up;

└ HingHangHong: Eh,,? what are you talking about, it’s Hunter news,,,?

└ Tamer Wanted: but they said it’s been a while since craftsman disappeared from that place;;;

└ Legend 12: Is it true that they also sold A-class golden triangular rhino cubs?

└ red***: yeah, it’s true, but it’s not in the Workshop Street, it’s in a monster shopping street next to it haha ​​I’ve heard rumors that the Holy Sword was sold at the Workshop Street

└ Market recommendation: But why is it gone now? I heard it for the first time today

└ Flight: Many small workshops merged into large workshops. Even if you pay a little Hunter Market fee, it’s easy to train crafting skills and supply materials in a large workshop. Still, there are a few left.

— Pumplebot: Quail makes a mess– f*ck it’s a complete set up LOL

└ OO: When I checked Quail’s account, it’s been less than a month since he joined. it had been less than a month since I started. Usually, the newbie is the loudest kk

└ gotohell: does that mean someone hired a contract hunter to kill her?

└ MM:  English Nick, why are you suddenly jumping out of the blue here?

— Cheese Pizza: Who is Kim Deokyi?

└ Pumplebot: Hey, please delete the comments quickly, they are flocking to youㅡㅡ

└ Flight: It’s been a while since she retired from being the best craftsman hunter in Korea, but she’s still the only one who’s been given the title of craftsman master. It is said that she also made the critical 99 5-star Holy Sword, which was sold at the highest price at a market auction a few years ago. You don’t deserve her ㅠ

　└ ttl***: Kim Deokyi isn’t even active these days, what’s with this sudden anger

└ Healer Wanted: If you pick up a single item that is rolling on her floor, you start with at least a 3 stars.

└ red***: Looking at the photos, it seems that the workshop was all gone lol;;

└ TT: Huh, a long time ago at the craftsman’s workshop, she gave me a piece of cinnamon candy while I was waiting for my turn, what kind of crazy bastard was aiming for such a nice person ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— HaHa: I’m sure the criminal is really a Hunter; I heard that the main office is investigating, and the victim is also Craftsman Kim Deokyi. Someone said they saw her at the hospital 10 minutes ago.

└ gotohell: I set up a fundraising account at Hunter Bank to raise money to hire a contract hunter. [Link]

└ MM: No, English Nick, don’t rush;

Fortunately, amidst the misfortunes, Grandma Kim Deokyi was able to be discharged from the hospital two days later.

It was possible because Ki Yoohyun immediately treated the wound with potion, and the trauma healed quickly. Actually, she didn’t even have to be hospitalized, but since went to the hospital, she was told that she need to receive a full package of health checkups.

However, the burned workshop was not fully restored. The building was currently undergoing restoration work by the Dungeon Management Office, but it was impossible to return the numerous items there.

“…..it’s not a big deal.”

Grandma laughed bitterly.

It is fortunate that she is in good health, but after all, thinking about the culprit makes me angry. How could they do such a terrible thing to such a kind old lady!

The culprit hasn’t been caught yet. However, with some identification, the person in charge of the investigation said that it would only be a matter of time before he was caught. I was told that the culprit proudly left the weapon that stabbed Grandma at the scene.

As long as you get caught, I won’t let you go. I will make you regret having committed such a vicious thing.

“Meooong (Human, your expression is scary)!”

Ahem, hm.

Anyway. Grandma, who was discharged from the hospital today, came to see my cafe because she was curious.

Even though I repeatedly said she could come empty-handed, Grandma held out a big bag to me as soon as she came in.
