Chapter 1268 – [Eventful Summer]
Customers who entered as if possessed by something came straight to the counter without even looking at the bread on the shelf.
Normally, it’s not strange, because there are customers who only come to drink coffee, not bread, so it could be, but usually they pay attention to the bread, but they immediately stood in front of the counter.
“Welcome, what would you like?”
“Ah, there, that’s…”
Once I came in, I had to order as much as I came. He pondered for a while before ordering a decent order.
“Iced Americano, please”
“Do you eat and go, or do you take it?”
“Oh, I’m going to drink”
That way, you can proudly stay at the cafe and look at Eden’s appearance.
“Guest, there is a service that makes ice into the shape you want for an extra 1,000 won. What would you do?”
“Yes?”
“Anything works. The taste is the same, but I like it because it’s pretty.”
“Then, please do so. The shape is… Is it big, round ice?”
“Are you talking about something you use when drinking on the rocks? Yes, I’ll do it right away.”
A pretty woman invites you, but a man who can refuse is rare. And he’ll gladly accept it if it’s only 1,000 won.
Afterwards, Eden quickly prepared her coffee. It wasn’t that difficult, just put the ground beans in the machine and press a few buttons.
Then dilute the extracted espresso with water and add ice to it. When putting it in, I used my ability to freeze ice in the air in front of the guests.
Awesome!!!!
In an instant, a sphere of ice the size of a baby’s fist is created. It’s natural that it’s ice, but it’s transparent enough to see inside, so it gives off a clean feeling.
“Huh?! Are you a person with special abilities?”
“Yes, I have the ice ability. So I can make ice any way I want.”
“Wow, that’s amazing!!”
I didn’t expect much, but it feels different to be able to show this ability in front of my eyes and experience the product. Even though it was tasteless ice, it was worth about 1,000 won just by itself, as if the word eye candy was not there for nothing.
It’s not whiskey or anything like that, but even Americano is fun to drink by making it cool with an ice ball. The taste is not much different from other cafes, but such a unique personality is what attracts customers.
“Yes, the next guest~!!”
Eden suddenly saw a line in front of the counter. The number of customers has increased so much in a cafe where there were only one or two people just a moment ago.
This time, while waiting, the customer put the plate on the counter as if he had picked out some bread.
“Welcome, sir, do you need anything else to drink?”
“Uh……..”
“Guest?”
“……Ah, sorry!! I was blank for a moment.”
Seeing Eden face to face in front of her eyes and seeing her up close, he was momentarily stunned.
Just as you can’t pay attention to anything else if you focus on something, he also appreciates the beauty that is like a work of art right in front of your eyes. Eden took the order without paying much attention to him.
“Then, give me a cup of caffe latte. I’ll drink it. Oh, give me an ice-shaped service.”
“What shape would you like me to make?”
“That……Is it heart-shaped?”
“A big one, or several small ones?”
“Uh, then please make it bigger.”
“All right!!!”
A little desire was seen at the point of asking for a heart shape, but Eden didn’t mind. After all, the customer is the king, so it is the duty of a self-employed person to receive an order and follow the order if it is not the truth.
Before long, Eden made a cup of her cafe latte as she ordered and served it to her customer. Café Latte is thick, so you can’t see it, but when you look at it from above, you can see heart-shaped ice floating around.
“Here is the cafe latte you ordered. Enjoy it!!!”
“Yes, yes, thank you”
It is said that the majority of customers are male, but the cafe business was still a great success. Every 5 minutes, one of the people who passed by came into the cafe and ordered a cup of coffee or a piece of bread.
Fortunately, the owner of the cafe baked the bread in advance, so there was no need to worry about empty shelves. Then, the smell of baked bread started to fill the cafe, and around that time, Eden secretly opened the cafe door and let the smell out.
The smell of bread, to be exact, the smell of heated butter in it, is very attractive. Even if you don’t go around promoting separately, the smell will promote it around you.
Inhaling her scent, the child passing by with her mother turned to the cafe. The child is a boy who looks to be about six or seven years old, but even though she is young, she has eyes to see, so she saw Eden standing at her counter, took her mother’s hand, and led her to the cafe.
“Mom!!! Bread!!! I want to eat bread!!!!”
“Bread? If you eat snacks now, you won’t be able to eat later.”
“Just one!!! I’ll eat only one!!!!”
“I’ll buy it for you if you go home and clean your room.”
“Yes!!!!”
The hat went into the store and picked out some bread. However, the child was actually more interested in Eden than bread.
Soon after, the two of them came to the counter after choosing bread and ordered drinks.
“An iced Americano, um…… Is there anything the child can drink? One without caffeine.”
“Then, how about a five-grain latte? It’s similar to rice flour, so it’s good for health.”
“Then, please make ice with it.”
“If you order with ice, ice service costs 1,000 won. What would you do?”
“No, it’s ice, but does it cost extra?”
“No, it’s something else. I’ll make the ice any way you want.”
“Sister!!! Pengsoo!!! Please make it in the shape of Pengsoo!!!!”
“No, Junshik-ah. No matter what, that’s…”
“Can I make it in the shape of a penguin?”
Eden immediately made ice in the shape of a penguin character and showed it to them. When they see it made right in front of their eyes, the two are shocked and astonished.
“Wow!!!! It’s Pengsoo!!!!!”
“No, how… Did you have a special ability?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m serving you like this.”
The ability to create ice at will. The mother of the child who saw it asked Eden if she had anything on her mind.
“I wonder if there’s an ice sculpture exhibition hall on the main road over there…”
“Ah, that’s run by our school.”
“Really? I went there with the mothers of the children whom I met at a children’s meeting before, and it was very nice. How nice it is to have such an exhibition hall in the neighborhood…”
The exhibition hall that Eden made as a club activity was made with the intention of spending unnecessary support funds, so he was operating with a minimum admission fee to prevent unnecessary truth.
However, there were still many visitors who came. Not only the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, but also people who came to play from other areas. In addition, foreigners often came and made money at the exhibition hall made to spend money.
Of course, he became famous as well. It is made with this ability, and there are many problems due to the demerit of ice sculptures that melt away compared to the amount of effort put into them.
“Here comes the iced americano and iced five-grain latte you ordered. Enjoy it.”
“Thank you sister!!!!!”
It had only been a few hours since Eden started working part-time, but in those few hours, sales exceeded those earned during the rest of the business hours.
When looking for a cafe part-time job, it is not for nothing that you hire a handsome man or a beautiful woman with a bonus. Thinking of that, the effect Eden showed was beyond imagination.
And in the evening, the store business is finished. Some shops are open from late at night until dawn or 24 hours a day, but Café Naru also serves as a bakery, so it is finished to prepare for the next day.
“You worked hard today, Eden student. Was there anything uncomfortable on the first day?”
“I liked that it was fresh. I’ve done part-time jobs at my dad’s shop, but restaurants and cafes are very different.”
“Eden student’s father seems to be self-employed too”
“I have a lot of trouble because of the truth that often comes.”
Haha, that can’t be helped. Even if the other person says something unfair, it’s our loss if the police are called…”
Host or guest. If you both respect each other, the world will be a little cleaner and quieter. But the reason I can’t do that is because there are people who don’t respect me.
In the end, self-centered people are the problem. Since man is himself and not others, he cannot fully understand others.
“There are a few leftover breads… Originally, they would have bundled them together and put them out as a special sale item, but would the Eden students take the ambiguous amount?”
“Really?! Thank you, I’ll eat well!!!!”
I did a part-time job, and the part-time job would pay off after a month, but apart from that, I received the remaining bread as a bonus.
That’s how the first day of Eden’s part-time job came to an end. On her return home towards evening, her worst, likewise returning from her shop, found her.
“Oh, it’s Dad!!!!”
“My daughter, are you on your way home after part-time job? Let’s go together. I’ll give you a ride.”
Working briefly at her family’s store and her full-time part-time job are different. Worst of all, Eden, who started her social life on the one hand, asked this and that.
“Yeah, didn’t you do anything unusual while working part-time today?”
“Maybe because it was the first day, there were no real guests. They were all good people, right?”
“That’s fortunate. But it can’t be like that forever. As time passes, there will be people who cross the line.”
“Oh, come to think of it, one of the guests who came today asked for an ice cube in the shape of a pengsoo.”
“It looks like you’re using ice-shaped service with your ability? It’s nice because that kind of difference attracts customers. But Pengsoo, my dad thinks of that when he thinks of a penguin character.”
“Which one? Pororo?”
“No, before that. With clay animation”
“Could it be that penguin from Wallace and Gromit?”
“There’s that, but it’s not that. It’s called Pingu.”
“Nung Nung!!!!!”
“You seem to know”
“When she was about 4, her mom showed her”
“No, remember what happened then?!”
“She remembers her mother because she showed me a lot of things like that since she was little.”
“Why are you teaching virtuous gifted children?”
I passed today safely, but in the future, problems will arise over time. This is because if there are many guests, the probability that there will be a grandson among them, not a guest, increases.
Even in the worst store, the truth comes. It’s just that some truths will never come back again, but even the worst stores don’t have truths.
Not to mention, if it’s a local cafe… It’s up to Eden to decide how to deal with the truth.
“There are sure to be people who cling to you. Cut them off and refuse them, and don’t give them excuses. They’re not worth dealing with.”
“My dad is a man, so he knows that surprisingly well.”
“It’s because he’s a girl sometimes. When he’s a girl, he’s an ordinary beauty.”
“There’s a lot of fat in there”
“Uh huh, I need to turn that around a bit.”
“My dad’s udder is just like a cow, and if you squeeze it, the milk will come out in liters!”
“I told you to turn it around, but you’re saying it in a weird way?! Who would say that?!”
In the midst of the usual joke, Eden, on the contrary, asked the worst about the store, not his own business.
“Oh, I see, Dad.”
“Why?”
“Did you tell Jihee unnie that you have many mothers?”
“Fuck?!”
“Oh, I see. It’s been several months since the year-end party, and you still haven’t said anything?”
“……. Eden, it’s a sensitive matter, so I can’t say it easily.”
“Isn’t it because you’re afraid that Ji-hee will also attack you if you say it?”
“I don’t know why our Eden is so quick-witted even though it’s strange.”
“I’m usually fast, but I’m just pretending not to know. In the world, not only good things happen by pretending to know everything.”
“Even though my daughter is young, she is good at managing the world. Well… I will settle down with Ji-hee and talk about it sooner or later.”
“I wonder what will happen!!!! My heart is pounding as if I’m watching a morning drama!!!!”
“Can you stop looking at me like that with Daddy’s work?!”
Soon, the two arrived home. Eden got off first, and worst of all, he sent Eden first.
“Go in first. Dad will park and go in.”
“Okay!!!!”
Watching Eden enter the house, Worst sneaked out his cell phone and made a call. The other party was Albert, the leader of Utopia, Zion’s private organization that protects Eden.
-Yes, Master.
“Isn’t Eden working part-time these days? Raise the level of security a bit more.”
-Even if you don’t, some of the gang members are disguised as guests and guarding them from close range.
“That’s nice. Oh, and just in case you don’t know, take countermeasures against stalkers. I’m sure there will be bastards asking for your phone number, but if you refuse, there will definitely be scumbags following you to find out where you live.”
There are times when news related to stalking crimes comes out, but if Eden is a pretty woman, of course there can be such a human being.
It’s unpleasant to simply follow along, but some of them cross the line and try to trespass into the house. And worst of all, I had no heart to forgive such people.
Furthermore, the mere fact that such a human being came to know Eden and the house he lives in is unacceptable. So, you have to deal with it, but the easiest way to stop people’s mouths is to kill and kill.
-What would you do if you caught them?
“Burn”
-All right.
With that, the disposition of Eden’s stalkers was decided.
