SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon
chapter-70-30041322

“Is there a reason why you want to work part-time here? There must be vacancy elsewhere.”

However, Ash shook his head with a firm expression.

“No, there is no other place … nowhere.”

Just in time, thanks to Ash’s quick touch, I can afford to take a break for a while. I made another cup of cafe mocha that Ash enjoyed yesterday, handed it to him, and spoke carefully.

“Ash, if you said that because you were sorry for me, you don’t have to do that.”

An anxious gaze reached me.

“You were worried because I looked busy today. Ash is also kind.”

“Who-who are you calling kind as you please! How could you say such a bad thing! Are you trying to insult the Demon King, Asmodeus, who summons the twilight of the world!”

Ugh, huh…..? You must be embarrassed to be praised…….

“I let you sleep here yesterday just because you looked unwell, not to make you work. You can stay here as long as you like, so don’t worry about it, just relax. Okay?”

“It’s not that, it’s that……!”

“That?”

Ash avoided my gaze with a sullen expression. What a sensitive age.

“Co.”

“Co?”

“Coffee….”

“Ah, was it delicious? I’ll make it again as much as you want.”

“It’s not that, I want to do the part-time job.”

“The part-time job … once you have these documents, you can do it.”

Ash was determined to work part-time. I briefly wrote down the necessary documents on a piece of paper.

“….sheesh.”

“Oh, Ash! Where are you going?”

Ash, who grabbed the list of documents, got up and ran outside.

Did I hurt his feelings? He’s really in a difficult age….

***

With a cold expression on his face, Ash was immersed in thought.

Coffee is the source of mana recovery. In order to continue drinking this coffee, it was necessary to infiltrate the cafe without being doubted.

Through the downloaded knowledge of the human world, he came to the conclusion that he could infiltrate the cafe with a ‘part-time job’. The situation is perfect because this person is also looking for a part-timer.

However, there was one unexpected difficulty.

It’s the documents.

“The part-time job … once you have these documents, you can do it.”

A feast of unfamiliar words.

‘It’s a lot different from a thousand years ago.’

Thousands of years ago, if he just shot a meteor in moderation, humans would take care of him and gave him what he needed.

However, due to the lack of mana, most of his magic was sealed. Ash went out to find another way to make the documents.

At that time.

“Aaa, aaaah!”

On the street, an old man saw Ash and collapsed while screaming. It’s a man who was wearing a colorful vest over his skinny body.

A terrified pale face, a trembling body. In addition to that, his eyes filled with joy and admiration.

“Do you know me?”

“Se … se-serve, no way, are you the Demon King, Asmodeus-nim?”

He nodded.

The old man gasped and prayed in a light motion.

“Ooh, oh …. ooh! Demon King Asmodeus…..”

“You have good eyes.”

Ash, who was satisfied with the old man’s worship, smiled.

“Please! please … there is a place where my colleagues gathered. The Great Demon Lord needs a worshiper. Please accept our worship.”

“Nice.”

Finally, he met someone who treated him worthy of his power. Ash followed the old man.

Ash didn’t know, but this old man’s true identity is the head of the cult of the Demon King, Twilight. He has been waiting for the resurrection of the Demon King for a long time and has even tried the summoning himself.

However, the summoning failed. No matter how much he waited, the Demon King did not resurrect and his colleagues left one by one.

Currently, his main activities are….

‘The Demon King Really Exists’

‘Worship! The Demon King will be resurrected soon.’

It was to put up illegal posters like this all over the streets.

Once a week, he waved a picket in front of a downtown subway station, grabbed the passersby. and asked, ‘Do you believe in the Demon King?’.

He already lost his followers to other similar religions, but….

The time of hardship is over. Hodl got the victory. Hodl won the war.

“I have a job for you.”

“Yo-you absolutely may ask anything.”

The old man, who had worshiped the Demon King for a long time, instinctively noticed. He looks like a slender boy in shabby clothes, but this man is the Demon King he has been waiting for.

That cynical eyes and the cold voice. The strictness of giving orders out of the blue in front of the worshippers was certainly not from a fake.

What is his first command? Making a living sacrifice? Or a curse on humanity? The blood of the Demon King worshipper? Maybe … is it the use of stakes of forbidden curse?

However, the old man couldn’t help but be flustered by the words that followed.

“Make documents for part-time jobs.”

“Yes, I will … yes?”

“Did you not hear it? Documents.”

***

It was an hour after Ash ran out of the store when he heard he needed the documents.

“That’s enough, right?!”

As soon as he returned, Ash put down the envelope containing the documents. I looked inside and there was everything I needed, including a health card.

I looked carefully just in case, but it wasn’t a forgery. The guardian’s consent form contained the name of a child protection facility operated by a place called ‘Religious Foundation Twilight‘.

What’s going on? There must be a reason why he wanted to work part-time here.

Name: Kim Ash

Age: 17

The name Ash, it was his real name…….

“All right.”

It was a situation where I had to find a part-timer anyway, and I was concerned about Ash’s situation.

“……!”

He raised his head in surprise. The joy that he couldn’t hide is revealed on his face.

“Hoho … you will be swallowed up by the darkness.”

It’s good that he’s happy….? Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope he can cheer up.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

Tiling!

[Congratulations! You have completed ‘Main Quest: Finding a Part-Timer’.

Please collect the reward.]

[Experience: 100 EXP have been acquired.]

[Fame: 10 / Popularity: 10 have been acquired.]

[<Cafe Rieul>’s current Grade: E]

[Skill point owned: 1]

[Please choose a skill to level up.]

As soon as the quest completion notification sounded, the skill point came in.

Hmm, what skill should I raise….

After much deliberation, this is the skill I chose.

‘Cafe in My Hand.’

As the business grew rapidly, the frequency of using this skill increased tremendously. Just as there was an amazing fraud effect when I leveled up ‘The Floor is Shiny‘, I was expecting something good would happen if I level up this skill.

Cafe in My Hand (C)

Details: (Lv. 2) When making drinks in the store, the level of perfection is higher.

“Heh?”

At first, I didn’t immediately notice what had changed. It just changed from ‘level of perfection is increased‘ to ‘level of perfection is higher‘.

I’ll experiment it a little later to see what the difference is…..

Then, the ringing sound rang again.

[※ Cafe in My Hand (C) Level Up Effect: When you drink coffee, you won’t get addicted to caffeine up to five cups.]

Wow, that’s awesome.

***

At the same time when Rieul was about to write an employment contract with a new part-timer.

Her cousin, Kwon Jiwoon, was banging his head on the desk.

Bang!

“…….”

“Deputy guild leader, I just heard a loud noise, is there something wrong?”

“……it’s nothing.”

“All right.”

Bang!

“Deputy guild leader?”

“Ehem, uhum, it’s okay.”

Kwon Jiwoon stood up awkwardly.

The reason why he is so troubled is, of course, his cousin. Kwon Rieul.

“Oppa, I’m awakened.”

Rieul said that she had awakened. His cousin, who still seems pretty young. It was shocking at first, but Kwon Jiwoon’s brain moved quickly.

‘Then you should join the White Silver Guild.’

It’s a a matter of course. He’s the deputy guild leader and his father, Kwon Seokmin who is currently missing, would surely agree.

Which guild you belong to is another proof of identity for a Hunter. The White Silver Guild is not a large guild, but it has a good location and is one of the important guilds in Korea. If they have Rieul as a member of the White Silver Guild, whatever she does in the future, the guild will be helpful for her.

It would be easier to fill out the application form electronically instead of on paper. He was thinking about the procedure in a rush, but Rieul cut his thoughts and drew a line.

“I’ll never say that I want to join your guild, so don’t worry.”

The words weighed on his mind.

“….Haa.”

Kwon Jiwoon slid his eyes down. An empty phone text message writing window caught his eye. He wrote a few meaningless letters and erased them again. It’s because he noticed a report on the recent trend of dungeon raids next to it.

Recently, C&L Corporation’s intervention in the raids conducted by the the White Silver Guild has been intensifying since a few weeks ago.

Even if he tries to push through the principle, the opponent is the largest guild among The Big Three. There was no way to arbitrarily take away the contribution of the raid by pushing with the quantity.

The same thing happened in all three recent dungeon raids. This is obviously intentional.

In addition, C&L approached the guild member of the White Silver Guild and offered a transfer. The guild’s main members remain the same, but some other members have already left.

If this is the case, it is clear that the power of the White Guild Silver will be weakened.

C&L was trying to absorb the White Silver Guild.

‘I don’t know how the hell I got so out of my mind.’

In this situation, would it be the right choice to bring his younger sister to the White Silver Guild? The closer he gets to his younger sister, the more they will pay attention to her.

For a moment, Kwon Jiwoon looked into the old memories of the past.
