SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon

“Umm, Jina-ssi, how is Hunter Jijon doing now?”

“That person is still the same today……. ah, by the way, he’s been acting a little weird since the case ended.”

“Weird?”

What happened to him?

“He locked himself in his room for a few days, mumbling weird stuff. What did he say ……. he said something like, ‘The world is a scary place, and I need to be careful where I go, because I don’t know where there might be a powerful villain.’ It sounds like he’s just scared of something.”

“…….”

“He must have read some weird fantasy novel somewhere, but it’s probably nothing, so don’t worry about it.”

Hmm. Since he seems to be scared of Ki Yoohyun, it’s unlikely that the information was leaked from Jijon’s side, so where did they get it from … it’s really bothering me, but I’ll think about it after I close the cafe.

Anyway, the ‘Cafe Rieul Ginger Festival’ was very successful. Maybe it’s because the Mandragora dungeon ginger became very famous for defeating the monster branches. It sold well even though the menu was unified.

“This is the legendary ginger that defeated the monster branch!”

“Yum, it’s hot and spicy, and they say it’s good for your health.”

The satisfaction bar was filled to the max. I was worried that the ginger would be too spicy for some people, but I’m glad everyone liked it.

After selling so many Unlimited Ginger sets for a while, a system notification rang.

[Item: Fancy Photo Frame (Large) (★☆☆☆☆)

Type: Decorations

It doesn’t have any special effects, but it looks nice.

It’s an interior item with a lot of atmosphere.

If you put a photo in it and hang it on the wall, it will be very noticeable.]

It’s really nice to know that the Mandragora dungeon ginger’s growth rate is slowing down. This means that I no longer have to worry about disposing of such an awful lot of ginger.

The photo frame I received as a reward was just what I needed. I loved the design and the fact that it was the right size. I tucked it away and turned to Ash.

“Ash, get some rest. I’ll take care of the rest. Have some snacks here.”

“….Okay.”

After packing up the ginger set for the takeaway customer, I had a bit of a break. I quickly finished the dishes and glanced out the window.

‘It’s still the same…….’

A few metres away from the entrance, there was a crowd of reporters.

Surprisingly, however, the reporters didn’t force their way in or disrupt the cafe’s business. As it turns out, the pure-blood Hunters threatened to beat them if they interfered with the cafe’s business.

Soon enough, the man I was waiting for pushed past the group of reporters and headed this way. It was Kim Taewoon, a reporter who had been granted access on the condition that he will not mention Muwon at all.

“Welcome.”

“Hello. Owner-nim, it’s been a while.”

As I smiled and greeted Kim Taewoon, I heard grumbling from the group of reporters.

“Why are they only letting him in?”

“Give up. You don’t know him? That person, he’s Burning King from Hunter Scope.”

“Is that the only way in? You need to be a famous reporter to enter?”

“No, he’s a pure-blood journalist.”

Gossip, gossip ……. the murmurs grow louder. The reporters now looked at Kim Taewoon with a mixture of envy and disapproval.

Have fun, guys….

It’s not that he’s a pureblood, it’s just that I had a reason. This lemonade-purified man can be trusted.

Before I could get to the point, Kim Taewoon began his report on the Unlimited Ginger Set.

Click, click, click! With a serious expression on his face, Kim Taewoon took pictures of the interior and the drink. The animals hanging out in the corner changed their poses, conscious of the camera. I took a peek to see how the picture turned out, and it showed Mieum yawning widely. I have to keep it a secret.

Next up was the tasting. Kim Taewoon took a sip of the ginger milk and asked, “There’s no coffee in this, correct?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Taking another taste of the ginger milk, he quickly poured out his impressions, “A mild first taste from the rich milk foam, but when I took another sip, I’m got hit with a sharp ginger flavour, subtly hidden in the savoury milk. Soft and intense, so to speak, it’s a charming taste twist, you’ve taken a bold flavour risk!”

“No, that’s just because I have to put in a lot to get rid of the ginger………”

“Hmmmm, you didn’t spare any of the ingredients, you used a lot of them to create a rich flavour ……. I see.”

After writing down my answer in a completely different way, he tasted ginger lemon tea and cookies.

“Ohhh, the feeling of ginger dancing in my mouth, ahhh, I must write an article right away so I don’t forget this sensation.”

Kim Taewoon set his laptop on the table. He began typing with frightening vigour. The article that I glanced at went something like this.

[Food] The HOT menu that beats the winter cold wave, <Cafe Rieul> Unlimited Ginger Festival … Review of 3 new menus in succession

Fall in love with the charm of Mandragora Dungeon Ginger.

(Photo)

The world’s one and only ‘real’ buff coffee, Cafe Rieul, is offering a limited set menu for the winter season.

The limited menu of Cafe Rieul presented this time is characterized by the presence of Mandragora Dungeon Ginger.

The ginger milk, with its rich ginger flavour hidden beneath the soft milk foam, is the perfect signature drink for winter.

(Omitted)

Cafe Rieul is a cafe that opened in front of the Dungeon Gate last year and introduces a variety of buff coffee. The cafe is run by Hunter Kwon Rieul, who led the the team that helped rescue the victims of the Sephiroth branch of the False World.

Journalist Kim Taewoon from Hunter SCOPE

“Wait, can’t you leave out the last part……?”

“The last part is the most important.”

After sending the article, Kim Taewoon closed his laptop and pulled out a briefcase from his bag.

“And here, I brought you the items you mentioned.”

“Ah, thank you.”

I immediately opened the briefcase. Inside were two large prints of a photograph.

“Waeoong (What is that)!”

“Kyuuu, kyuuu!”

My house animals, who are often fascinated by paper, approached with their eyes shining. However, this one shouldn’t be torn. I held it high, just out of reach of Mieum’s front paws, and examined it.

It was a picture of Ash with the members of the Demon Cult, Twilight. They were all smiling and holding plaques in their hands.

Well, it came out great.

In the aftermath of the incident, the Demon Cult of Twilight’s image had changed positively, shedding the misunderstanding that it was a pseudo-orthodox religion with excessive immersion in the occult.

“Keuhek, it’s all thanks to the Demon King that a day like this has come….” The sight of the grandfather with a saintly beard wiping away his tears was very touching.

In addition to its contribution to the last incident, the fact that the Demon King Cult Twilight has been silently performing volunteer activities has been widely known to the world. Not only that, but now applications for joining Twilight were flooding in.

However, instead of increasing the size of the Cult by accepting new members, the head priest decided to maintain the current size. He said that rather than increasing their income, he would rather work on making the world more beautiful on a small scale than on a larger scale.

And they received a commendation in recognition of their contributions, and this was a photo from that day. Reporter Kim Taewoon happened to take a photo at the commendation award ceremony while reporting that day, and gave me a large print of it.

The photo was just the right size to fit into the frame I received as a reward earlier. As I was looking around for a place to hang the picture, Ash opened his mouth in a panic.

“That … what are you going to do with that……?”

“Why, it’s nice, you got an award for doing a good job, Ash, and the picture of you looks great.”

“Ugh…….”

He was embarrassed, but I paid him no mind and hung the frame in a visible place. The remaining photo was set aside to be delivered to the cult next time.

“Thanks for taking the picture, it came out really well.”

“No, I’m…….”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to you, it’s like I’ve been born again, so it’s not even a tenth of the grace.”

Kim Taewoon, who said so, still had the eyes of a true journalist.

“Haha…..”

It’s very burdensome, but I’m rooting for you since you’re actively engaged in various good activities these days.

After Kim Taewoon left, the rest of the customers finished their orders, and it was time to close the store. I smiled with satisfaction as I looked at the greatly reduced ginger. The scheduled duration of the ‘Cafe Rieul’s Ginger Festival’ is one week. At this pace, I would be able to get rid of enough ginger in a week.

“Hohohoho…..”

“Why are you laughing like a villain?”

“Ugh, since when have you been there?”

When did he arrive? The man, who was sitting at a cafe table, stood up. He’s Oh Seoho. An actor, illusionist, and a (self-proclaimed) friend of Ki Yoohyun.
