Chapter 587 – [My Fantasy Academia]
Me, Luminus, Korma, Asterope, and Xeon.
By filling 5 people like this, I was able to do cafe ismael club activities.
In fact, it is fortunate that Xeon is not active because he has to run errands for Ruri because of school expenses. Thanks to her, she was able to fill the staff.
“For reference, I will give you a salary.”
“Will there be any profit? Even so, cafes are an unfamiliar concept here, and coffee is also from Magye, so I’m a bit reluctant…”
“This is an academy. It’s easy to accept new things even if they’re unfamiliar, and once you drink coffee, you’re bound to crave it. And above all, there’s no seating charge and no material cost.”
There are quite a few things that Ruri covered her.
First of all, the shop was given out in the name of insolvency, and it was free because you couldn’t get money from the student for insolvent rental.
Coffee, the main item, was imported from the Empire or Ruri, but it was also free.
The cost of fancy power batteries for equipment used in the store is virtually free because I just need to charge it.
Free, free, free, so in the end, it costs about the labor cost. If so, it was a structure that could not be profitable.
The location of the store is good and there is a lot of floating population.
Hey, since there’s hardly any truth to it, it was virtually no different from a dream job.
“The truth about the cafe… Forcible claims… Ugh, the head!”
“There is always the truth wherever you go. At that time, my status works best.”
At least, if this side didn’t make a mistake, you can crush everything. The third prince of the empire, and the ten continental rivers. The only people who could not be suppressed under that name were, at most, the heads of state.
By the way, those children don’t like me either. You can rub against the prince’s position, but you can’t rub against the Continental Ten.
“Oh, it’s a pretty spacious store.”
“What, why are you going out all of a sudden?”
“Because I also have to learn geography here.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m here to see my uncle”
“Oh, Dash is scary”
Seon came to the store to open our cafe. I wonder how she came to me, but since Seon is also a Moorim in her own way, I think she must have sensed my presence and came looking for me.
Honestly, if I can’t do that, I’ll have to throw away the thousand years of martial arts I’ve learned. If you learn the Samjae sword method for a thousand years, you will conquer the Heavenly Demon.
“Ah!!!! Hello!!!!”
“……? Ah, yes, hello.”
Seon and Xeon met for the second time. This is a relationship where one side only has a one-sided crush, but they have one thing in common: they come from different worlds.
Honestly, I’m thinking whether I should push this or not.
If it was someone else, I would have pushed him to meet someone better than me, but the opponent is a guy who uses the game system Naburangi. Even if the other personality was passed, the view of life itself was ruined.
“I heard the story from Your Highness. You said that Mr. Seon-i is not from this world either?”
“So what?”
“The hometowns may be different, but let’s get along well with people from the same world.”
“Um… That’s right, what?”
Sun is not an idiot. When Seon-i shows an oblivious attitude in a blatant manner, she will do it on purpose.
Moreover, even considering the age difference, a guy who is less than 50 years old in the past and present lives and Seon-i, who is close to 1000 years old, have different experiences in life. Of course she knows how much she likes her.
I thought he would treat him quite harshly, but Seon-i was kind and treated him well.
There is a certain sense of social life. This is because the world is not easy enough to live without seeing people you don’t like.
……. However, Seon-i’s reaction is indifference. The opposite of affection is not hatred, but indifference, so I can guess what kind of mind it is.
“The cafe will probably be able to open within this week. We’re going to have a work rotation considering each lecture time, so it won’t be too difficult.”
“You seem to have quite a lot of experience in this kind of work? Come to think of it, I heard that you opened a restaurant in the imperial capital. Did you work in the catering business?”
“For me, this is my main job rather than military or princely. Well…I do have a different real job.”
That’s what you think of when you think of a cafe. Study Café.
But from the point of view of the store owner, it is not a very good way. It wasn’t like setting up a store like that from the beginning, it was just a cafe, but when it turned into a study cafe, it became a quiet space without being able to make noise.
I like the atmosphere where I enjoy coffee while eating cake quietly, and students gather to study, but I like noisy cafes.
There are a lot of students here, but if you’re going to study at a cafe, go home instead.
“First of all, I have to taste the coffee, right?”
I skillfully touched the store’s espresso machine, put in ground coffee beans, and extracted the original juice.
Coffee beans are brewed by high-temperature, high-pressure water. Espresso from a handful of coffee beans is, at most, about a small cup of coffee.
However, the smell alone can feel the strong aroma of coffee. Mmm… It smells good.
“Do you drink coffee?”
“I drink it, but I prefer other teas to it.”
“Well, you’re the ones who drink hot tea after meals even in midsummer, so it’s only natural.”
It’s just bitter to drink.
Let’s be honest, coffee has a good aroma, but minus the aroma, the taste itself is savory, bitter, and sour. If you enjoy gourmet food, you can feel the complex taste in it, but you shouldn’t expect that from the majority of people.
Remember Those who do food service should not pursue only artisans.
Of course, it’s good to become a master of one dish. However, if you pursue only that and the unit price of the dish rises too much or it is huge for customers who do not know the taste, you are a master, you are a master, and your business is ruined.
“So the basics should be Caffe Latte or Americano.”
“Isn’t that the way it used to be?”
“By Korean standards. In other places, I just drink espresso with this cup.”
I don’t know how to eat it, but coffee originally tasted like that.
Anyway, the business is ready… The rest is advertising.
If you pick a few important things to do business as before, there were advertisements.
No matter how delicious and well-made it is, no matter how good the location of the store is, if the advertisement is not good, there will be fewer customers. Business goes well when people know the store is here.
“Shall we post an advertisement on the academy bulletin board?”
“Oh, was there anything like that?”
“This is where communication devices are not yet developed, so we share what we need and communicate through those bulletin boards. It’s quite useful.”
“Mainly how?”
“Hmm… In my case, I’m giving private lectures on imagination skills to nobles.”
“Tutoring?
I looked at Xeon crookedly, but he was still the guy who earned his own money and paid for his schooling. Even if he has a scholarship, it’s safe to say that he has no one to support because the more money, the better.
Write, if it wasn’t for that damn game system, I might be able to push it well with Sun…….
Aren’t you sorry for Seon? Rather, if you came to see something like me for a thousand years, I just want to push you to go find someone better.
I’m not the kind of person who deserves to be loved by others.
Never.
“Anyway, it’s the fastest way to advertise.”
“……?”
Do you remember the cooks under me serving as kebab vendors in the Bistra estate?
There they deliberately left chunks of meat by the fire to roast. It is, in a word, performance. It means that it is one of the means to attract people’s interest and curiosity.
And if there’s something that draws your attention the most about selling coffee, that’s it, right?
* * *
Ruri stopped in front of the store and shouted.
“Ah!!!!! The smell of roasting coffee beans is a scam!!!!!”
“How about it, do you want people to pay attention?”
“I smelled it and went back after seeing the sign in front of the store that said it was being prepared?”
“Why did you come in?”
“Bitter, it smells like a dog, but you’re not coming in? And this is my building. I came to see the tenant.”
“Oops, the building owner’s heels”
Great smell is also a performance.
Why, when you pass by a subway station, there are often deli manju shops, one by one. The sweet smell of custard there made it impossible to pass by.
I have a good understanding of not only simple cooking, but also the catering business itself. If you ask which of the two is the main one, it’s definitely the cooking side, but I’m well aware of the know-how needed to do business.
“It smells like this, and then it opens around the time when people pay a lot of attention.”
“I’ll do it according to the effect of the advertisement. The place is good, so the floating population is huge… But you want to roast only beans all day long? How about storage?”
“Originally, the beans immediately after roasting are tasteless. It only tastes good after a few days. And I don’t just roast coffee every day.”
“Then?”
“So there’s a pastry dough with lots of butter. Put it in the oven and bake it… You know?”
“Give me everything you have!!!!!!”
Bread with coffee, donuts with coffee, but… Oh, you sound like an American cop.
Anyway, the aroma of roasting coffee is a fascinating smell that even people who hate coffee like. It is not for nothing that coffee grounds are used as an air freshener.
Oh, of course, our store doesn’t throw away the used beans as garbage, but we will give it to people for free. It’s not because it’s annoying to throw away garbage, but it’s to lower the accessibility of coffee in that way.
“It smells so good!!!! I don’t know what they’re selling, but please give me what you have!!!”
“What”
Just then, Ruby broke in through the window.
It’s not open yet, so I’m not selling anything!!!! It’s advertised with smell!!!
“Huh? Is the head of the department and the prince there too? Ah, this is the shop that the famous prince is opening right now, isn’t it?”
“Why are you here again?”
“I was passing by and came back because it smelled so good!!!! Wow, fragrant yet complex smell. Ugh!!!”
It still feels noisy. Ruby radiates here and there, flying around and chattering. Ah, the luminescence referred to here has that luminescence, but there were also those that emit real light and express it as luminescence.
“Stay there for now. We don’t even know each other, so I’ll bring you something to eat.”
“Really? Thanks! Oh, do you get paid? How much?”
“It hasn’t even opened yet, what kind of money is it?”
“Aww!!!! It’s free!!!!”
Since I’m like a child, I don’t think it’s a bit strange to try coffee for the first time with an Americano, so I decided to make a slightly sweet cafe latte with a little syrup added to it.
Here’s to the croissant I made with my own dough. When the bread is baked, the savory smell of butter spreads and blends with the scent of coffee.
Honestly, this smell is a scam. It was the kind of smell that you can’t get rid of without stopping by.
“Here’s a morning set”
“Café latte with two croissants? Well, it’s not like there aren’t people who drink coffee in the morning. Besides, if you add milk, it’ll be fine. But how much are you going to charge?”
“1 Great Fairy Tale”
“Hmm, that’s not a bad price choice. It’s not a burden.”
“Wow!!!! This is super crispy and savory and delicious!!! What kind of bread is this? Oh, I said it was a croissant? Tell me how to make it later!!!”
“It would be difficult to make a fairy because you have to knead it.”
“Use it!!!! I hate being unable to because I’m too small!!!”
Ruby munched on a croissant that was bigger than her body, then drank a caffe latte as if his throat was dry. I deliberately chilled it and served it with ice, so I drank it with enthusiasm.
And that moment. Ruby’s wings, which had been flapping like hummingbirds without a break, stopped.
“What, why?”
“…………”
“No, really, what’s wrong?! Isn’t that scary?!”
“Did you drink the coffee?”
“Are you crazy? Do I look like someone who would play with food if I cut off my hand?”
A bastard who plays with food will get tired no matter what he does. If there’s one thing I don’t tolerate next to touching Zion, that’s it.
If the assassin who tried to kill me had been poisoned by the rice rather than the knife, those bastards of the White Church would perish on that day, without leaving any room like now.
“Are you okay?”
“Muaaaaa”
Soon, Ruby violently trembled her wings and flew as it was, wandering around the cafe and giving off a fucking glow.
He is so fast that only afterimages remain. No, more than that, if it flies like that, it’s because of the glitter that the store cleaned up aaaaa?!?!
“Hey!!! What are you doing now!!!!”
“Ah no! I want to stop too, but I can’t stop, so I don’t even know what it is! Anyway, I feel great, but I can’t stop! “
“It seems that the caffeine in coffee is too effective for fairies.”
If you think about it, the coffee here is stronger than the coffee I know, and the fairies are much smaller than humans.
Even a small amount of caffeine… The awakening effect was likely to be greater than that of humans.
……. From now on, Ruby, you are prohibited from coffee.
