SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon-Chapter 106
The Hunter thought, it’s a boring dungeon.
There’s never been such a boring dungeon like this one. The Hunter waved his hand nonchalantly with a tired expression. The dagger, which flew in a parabolic arch motion, accurately stabbed the monster in the forehead. The monster that was weaker weaker than his level died leaving only the ether ore intact.
With a bored expression, the Hunter retrieved the ether ore and put it in his inventory. This is the hundredth. However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the target.
“Haa….”
The Hunter had no luck with guild. After wandering through several guilds, he was finally able to get accepted in his current guild.
The problem is that he cannot be promoted to a regular guild member unless he meets the ether ore quota. In addition, if he resigned in the middle, he cannot find items that have been ripped off as a membership deposit.
That’s why for a few days, he’s having a round to get a high-purity ether ore in the already stabilized dungeon. He has already made a few laps around this dungeon. Now, he could memorize the location of the monsters spawn, the terrain, and even the shelter. He’s going crazy. He can see why repetition is driving people crazy.
“Ah … I want to quit.”
The Hunter casually sank on the floor of the safe zone.
As he caught monsters in a row, his stamina was slightly reduced, so he took out a potion and drank it. Since it was not a high-quality potion, he couldn’t even enjoy the taste.
He want to eat something delicious other than this.
He want to lie down and watch TV after having a glass of beer with chicken.
No, that’s not it. More than that….
Come on, let’s not think about it. If you miss what you don’t have, you’ll only feel the tastelessness of the potion.
While he was standing up again to return to the boring work, he noticed a door. It was an ordinary door that was suitable for a family house.
He memorized all the topographical features of this dungeon. He has never seen anything like that before….
After a moment of hesitation, the Hunter decided to surrender to curiosity. Whatever lies beyond, it won’t be as boring as continuing to farm ore in this dungeon.
He approached and opened the door with that kind of mind … and found a cafe. A real cafe.
The door led to a cafe outside the dungeon.
“Ah … where … how did you get here?”
The cafe owner, who seemed to have not expected the appearance of the Hunter, opened her eyes wide. She has a soft impression.
It is not uncommon for indeterminate warp gates to occur in dungeons since the flow of irregular ethers randomly intertwines with ethers in other spaces. It’s the first time he saw a gate in the shape of a normal door, and it leads to a cafe outside the dungeon, but….
The Hunter soon realized that he couldn’t get out of the 1 meter radius of the door. However, the distance was enough to order a coffee. Yes, he just wanted to drink a sweet coffee.
It was when he returned to the tedious farming work, chewing on pieces of dalgona in his coffee, that the strange change strucked him.
“Eh….?”
A monster fell. He felt an incomparable power.

Lesson of the Day: Let’s read the description carefully to the end.
“Kiyaong, you realize that so quickly!”
“…..”
“It would have been nice if you had thought of that from the moment you awakaned. Tsk tsk tsk, you skipped all the beautiful phrases written by the great system, and now you’re tasting the price of skipping, waeoong!”
“……….”
I put Mieum in front of the heater and put a lot of cereal in her bowl. Fortunately, Mieum did not talk to me anymore as she was chomping and filling her stomach.
A few days ago, a customer came from the dungeon for the first time through Connect Anywhere☆Mysterious Door. Since then, customers from the dungeon have consistently appeared through the door. The place where they originally came from was different.
“Huh? This is the Dungeon of Banyabong Peak in Jirisan Mountain.”
“Hey, you guys! Come here and order coffee. Ah, this place? This is Gimcheon.”
“Hello?”
This is what I heard. The door was randomly created in dungeons in various places, and it is said that if you open them, all of them will be connected to the Cafe Rieul.
Just connected, the person beyond the door could not come in more than a meter. It was also impossible to open the door at Cafe Rieul and go out to a random dungeon.
Now, let’s re-read the description of ‘Connect Anywhere☆Mysterious Door’.
(※ The official name is a Personal, Space-Connected One-Way Door, but it is serviced with a familiar name to help you understand.)
It says ‘one-way‘ in ‘connected‘.
It really only connects to one side. Well, there’s nothing wrong with that…….
I was puzzled because it’s working in a completely different way from what I had guessed by looking at the name.
Anyway, a customer is a customer.
It’s a little unfair that I installed it excitedly because I got a new item, but it only increased my work.
I decided to sell coffee to the hunters who appeared through this door. In fact, isn’t fighting in the dungeon the moment when you need recovery coffee the most?
In order to process the orders quickly, a ‘Comfortable Walk-Through Counter’, which was received as an achievement reward, was installed in front of the door. It was a stronger and cleaner counter than the one I made to sell coffee to the fire spirits.
“Kuu … I can’t get any damage done because of the debuff.”
“Try this Americano.”
“……!”
The Hunter with their eyes wide open exclaimed ‘Tasty!’.
The door opened again and a Hunter appeared.
“The dungeon boss will appear soon, so I want to strengthen my skills.”
“Hmm … how about this vanilla latte?”
“Yaaay! Critical Hit!”
Just before the door closes, I can hear the magnificent roar of the boss who was hit by the skill. There’s a lot of noise between the walls.
“Huu … even if I continue to pour healing skills, but the recovery is still slow.”
This time it was several deeply wounded Hunters. I made several cups of cafe mocha and handed them over.
In this way, I also recommended coffee that has an appropriate effect for Hunters. I was proud to see the actual effects of my coffee and the Hunters that like them.
I’ve worked so hard.
“Euugh … uuh….”
I soon reached my limit.
In addition to the increase in the number of customers, there were many things to pay attention to because the customers came in directly from the dungeon.
There was no way it could go on for a long time in this illegitimate way.
“Is it time to make a decision….”
“Kkyuu….?”
As Ki Yoohyun suggested before, I should officially register <Cafe Rieul>.
I didn’t like it because it made me look too much like a Hunter when I registered it formally and claiming ‘It’s a coffee that has buff effects‘.
“Aren’t you a Hunter, waeoong!”
Pakpakpak. Heavy front paws flew at me.
“It’s a matter of feelings, feelings.”
A secluded cafe that you accidentally stumbled across in front of the dreary Dungeon Gate. A comfortable and cozy time. You feel better after drinking the delicious coffee. All I wanted was something like this.
“Do you know what kind of traditional fairy tale the world you imagined is…..”
I heard a sermon from a cat.
“It seems hopeless already.”
Ash, who finished washing a mountain of dishes, said the same thing.
Unlike the customers I met inside the cafe, it bothered me to see the Hunters fighting in the dungeon through the door. As expected, I want to help what I can help.
Earlier, a Hunter came through the door with a severe wound. They ran out of potions. I recommended cappuccino, which has a ‘40% stamina recovery‘ effect. The Hunter, who quickly recovered after drinking the cappuccino, thanked me.
“Thank you. You saved my life. I will not forget this kindness.”
“No. I already got paid for the coffee.”
“Even so, the fact that you have been a great help to me doesn’t change.”
The Hunter bowed then disappeared through the door again. I realized at the same time that I felt proud of this.
I’m already bad at playing the role of an innkeeper in a beginner’s village, at least in this lifetime…..
“Yoohyun-ssi, you made a suggestion before.”
“Ah. You mean the proposal to formally reveal Rieul-ssi’s skill and coffee.”
The No. 1 ranker, who seems to have a hobby of drinking coffee in our store, answered.
“Yes, that one. I made up my mind. I’ll accept it.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a ringing sound of a cheerful notification.
[Congratulations! You finally have the mindset of a Cafe Owner.]
[The condition has been met.
In the future, the status window and effect of coffee can be viewed by others.]
[Achievement: The Mindset of a Cafe Owner
You were determined to benefit the world with coffee.
Reward: Cold Brew Coffee Recipe]
No, I didn’t make such a grandiose decision….
I was perplexed at the grand expression.
Unless they had a special skill like Ki Yoohyun, I was the only one who could see the accurate status window of the coffee I made. Others just feel the effects with their bodies. But now, if other people can see the coffee status window, more accurate information will be delivered.
Since then, the administrative process has proceeded without major obstacles. Ki Yoohyun also helped a lot.
It was quickly approved as a Hunter-based special business with a piece of paperwork and a due diligence showing the actual coffee making. In consideration of the echo of the birth of the unique potion that has never been seen before, an official announcement date for releasing the embossing was set.
And the day before the official announcement,
I was grinding a lot of coffee beans.
***
Soon, it will be the first day that Cafe Rieul, which has been officially registered as a special business, will take its first step.
It would be nice to have a new menu since it’s been a while. With that in mind, I decided to prepare the most recently obtained recipe, Cold Brew Coffee.
There was also an intention that once the undiluted solution was made, it could be diluted and sold quickly.
If it was a small roaster that I used before,mI would have given up because it was cumbersome to prepare a lot of coffee beans, but now it is worth doing it because there is a fully automatic large roaster for businesses.
I went into the space and moved the beans from the bean storage bag. Then, I put green beans in the roaster and lit them. It was a ‘completely automatic‘ structure that was completed on its own where the result was put into the storage box.
In the meantime, this space has developed a lot.
‘Shoo, shoo, shook, shook.’
I just planted it, but the tooth carrot that grew well on its own was biting hard again today.
Next to it was the place where the suspicious seeds received from Lee Chorok were planted, but they have not sprouted yet.
‘Those carrots don’t suck up all the nutrients, right….?’
I’ve put in a lot of crops and machines in this space.
“Mmmmmeh!”
Yeah, there’s a cow too.
I stroked the snorting cow as if not to leave her out. Perhaps because I wasn’t with Lime, the cow showed an unpleasant reaction.
The cow has yet to be named. I can’t come up with a name that fits perfectly. Let’s think about it more slowly.
Anyway, the coffee beans brought to the store were ground thickly into the size of thick salt. After putting a filter in a large container, I poured the coffee bean powder and cold water, then I mixed it well.
[Item: Cold Brew Coffee extract (★★☆☆☆)
Status: Extracting
Time Remaining: 12:00:00]
The next morning, just 12 hours later, the extract was filtered through a filter to be completed.
I tried making cold brew coffee right away by adding water and ice.
[Item: Cold Brew (★★★★☆)
Status: Good (Time Remaining: 01:00:00)
Effect: Get a random percentage of one random buff effect.]
Oh. Both types and amounts of buff effects were random. It’s like we’re doing a lucky draw.
This new menu will cause a bigger sensation than I thought.
