Chapter 18.1 – Sparkling Young People Outside the Store

AN: This is about a stylish coffee shop that suddenly appeared in the city.

Some months ago, I made an unusual friend.

A few months ago, I made an unusual friend.

Her name is Eraf, a rabbitkin slave girl.

She’s a slave but not an ordinary slave.

She’s a slave of a mage, who’s famous for his title of “Charitable”, and earns money by working every day.

When she was working at a construction site near our house, we happened to become friends.

Even though she’s a slave, she gets a day off every few days and she often comes to the grocery store that my family owns.

I was surprised by the fact that she received more pocket money than me, a commoner, and I was also impressed by the fact that the slaves were treated exceptionally well by the mage’s house.

My friend Eraf decided to work in a coffee shop in s.h.i.f.t.? And she asked me to come and visit her.

Since she asked me to come, I decided to go there.

「What the heck is this….」

The coffee shop was located between an ordinary house and a former factory.

The shop is painted in green and white and was the most stylish shop I’ve ever seen. And for some reason, there’s no wall on the entrance side so the inside of the store was completely visible.

At the small space between the roof of the store and the street is a wooden floor that is above the ground and there are chairs and tables being protected by big parasols from the sun.

And some anee-sama are already occupying those seats….

The moment I saw them, I thought they were sparkling….

They looked just like the exhibits at a clothing store on the main street….

They are all dressed up with style…..

They are all dressed up to the tooth. I can only glance at their glossy black hair while they are enjoying their encounter with some well-dressed gentlemen who look like actors. The atmosphere in this place is just too sparkling.

I think all the fashionable people of the city have gathered here.

As expected, I would be too embarrassed to step into that place then, I was suddenly called out.

「Customer-sama?」

「Ah, no, no, I’m leaving.」

「Don’t you want to have a cup or tea or something first?」

「Eh? I, won’t…..Eraf…..」

I was relieved and relaxed when I saw the familiar face of my friend and in no time, I was dragged into the store.

Unlike the outside waiting area, the inside of the shop was more relaxed and there were even elderly couples and parents with their children there.

I patted my chest after finding out that I didn’t have to be flirtatious.

「You should never force drag a customer.」

「But we’re friends.」

「Right?」

A beautiful lady that looked like a princess with dazzling silver hair, who seemed to be Eraf’s colleague, peeped into my face.

She nods at me and I nod back but she is so dazzling that I can’t focus.

Or rather, Eraf’s like her too. When did you become so beautiful?

The friend I met after a long time was polished into a completely different person compared to the last time I met her.

From her head to toes, she’s wrapped in a shiny dark blue, noble lady’s clothes and her nails are painted in shiny pink.

Even her chestnut-colored, curly hair, which had been bouncing around so much that she was dissatisfied with it, looked gorgeous now that it was fixed with a silver hair clip.

Traitor!

How can you grow up alone!

I demand an apology so treat me with sweets!

「What are you getting angry for, you weird girl?」

「Well, I’m just a plain freckled girl after all.」

「How about I treat you to some of our most popular menu?」

「I don’t need it.」

「We have a drinks that is a cold, sweet coffee topped with white fluffy stuff.」

As she says that, Eraf points to the counter.

There, a lady who seemed to be in charge of cooking was serving brown coffee in a clear glass with something white and fluffy on top.

What is that?

It was the same thing those young ladies outside were drinking.

「Yeah, I want to try that.」

「Okay.」

Eraf walked to the counter and said out a magically long name of whatever it was to the clerk.

Somehow, I came to a great place…..

At the next table, an adventurer lady, who looked like she just took off her top armor, is eating a glass of white food that has a lot of strawberries on it.

Despite her fierce-looking face, she looked like she was melting in happiness.

By the window, an elderly couple is eating a p.e.p.p.e.r.o.n.c.i.n.o. with red and white sauce, while a child, who looks like their grandchild, is struggling to eat his large sandwich. They are smiling while watching their grandchild eating.

I think pepperoncino also originated from the Schenker family and nowadays, there.are.many.kinds.of.peperoncino. such as one with tomato sauce and one with milk.

For example, my father loves a simple oil and garlic pepperoncino but I wish he wouldn’t sneak out to the pepperoncino stall every night.

As I was looking around, I made an eye contact with the silver-haired waitress from earlier.

She approaches me with a smile.
