SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon

.

“The plan … is done now. Aeon, let’s just quit everything. I can still fix it now. I can fix it, so let’s just….”

“What a foolish human being. You can’t handle one of these things right.”

“What? … uugh.”

There was no time to question the sudden change of tone. Lee Sein was nauseous and hurriedly covered her mouth.

In front of her eyes, the human form of Aeon began to collapse. No, that can’t be human. Such a terrible thing. What the hell is going on…..

The thinking did not continue. Just looking at the collapsing figure, she felt the pain of something rubbing the delicate texture of her mind with sandpaper.

After several seconds, Aeon turned into a half-melted, amorphous black mass.

“……!”

The figure resembled the black mucus that attacked the city a few days ago.

Lee Sein suddenly remembered a name.

….The Faceless One.

Indeed, it’s a suitable name for the object in front of her.

“Ua-aaagh! Go away!”

Snap, the black mass collapsed and attacked Lee Sein.

‘I have to use items for self-defense…..’

Lee Sein’s class is a secondary wizard. He always carried a self-defense item that was simply activated to compensate for his lack of physical power. To compensate for the lack of physical strength, she always carried self-defense items that were simple to activate.

However, before she could use her hands, the item that touched the half-melted Aeon melted away.

“Ugh…!”

Resistance is not enough. Lee Sein, who fell on the floor, threw the vase she caught while reaching out wildly.

Clatter!

There was a loud bang. The thrown vase was hit head-on by Aeon.

“Heuk, heugh …. heugh … is it done?”

Startle. Aeon stopped moving. She was relieved for a while, then the half-melted face burst into laughter.

“Kehehehe, hehehee, heheehee….”

“Ugh…!”

With a bizarre laughter, Aeon came closer. She thought he should run away, but her body did not move. As she witnessed the unknown horror, it seemed like he was cutting her mind with a carving knife.

Aeon, which melted completely and became a black mass, grabbed Lee Sein. Then, without hesitation, the black mucus was pushed into Lee Sein’s mouth. It’s suffocating.

“Eu-euugh! Uugh!”

‘I have to tell Choi Cedric….’

It was the last thought she had before she lost her mind.

The door opened again when the struggle had stopped completely. A Hunter of C&L Corporation spoke carefully.

“CEO Lee Sein-nim, I heard a loud noise. Is there something wrong?”

Lee Sein slowly rose up. She combed her disheveled hair with her hand, arranged her crumpled suit, and turned back to look at the Hunter.

“It’s fine. I slipped my hand and dropped the vase. Can you call someone to clean it up?”

“Yes, I’ll call them in a minute.”

The Hunter, who was about to close the door and leave, tilted his head slightly and turned his head again.

“Uh, by the way, CEO-nim.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Were you alone? I saw Aeon-ssi coming this way earlier.”

“Well, I’ve been alone the whole time. Maybe he went somewhere else?”

The eyes of Lee Sein, who gave that answer, glowed dull like imitation jewels.

***

It was a normal morning that day.

After turning off the alarm on my phone three times, I reluctantly got up.

I gave food for Mieum and Lime, then I ate breakfast on the first floor with Ash. Originally, I was going to make egg rolls, but I failed to flip it, so it became scrambled eggs. Well, it’s cooked, so that’s enough.

Ash had been sulking for some reason since last night, but he didn’t skip breakfast. I’m glad, you have to eat well before going to work.

After finishing the meal, I checked the stock. I still have enough coffee beans.

This was because I obtained an item after went through 10 consecutive rounds of golden drawing tickets accumulated as rewards for quests or achievements.

[Item: Fully Automatic Large Roaster for Business (★★★☆☆)

Roast anything and everything.

A fully automatic system that anyone can use easily.

It can be installed in the space to save space.

It can be used conveniently with the Cthugha’s Ring.

※ Free installation]

The large roster that I was eagerly waiting for!

I fell in love as soon as I saw this item. Now, I can easily roast a large amount of coffee beans.

So, shall we make a little more sugar?

Thinking that way, I casually looked out the window and got surprised.

“Huh….?”

Blue sky and warm morning sun. The view is open and refreshing.

Does anyone realise what’s weird here?

The ominous appearance of Abyss, the Great Dungeon that always looked big in the window, was nowhere to be seen.

No, more than that.

I rushed out and checked the outside.

Sshwaa~

I heard the sound of waves. Sunlight poured down over the golden sandy beach, and fantasy-style buildings were sparsely visible in the distance.

“Where am I….?”

The outside of the store had become a strange place.

Tiling, the alarm sounded.

[Congratulations! You have completed ‘Sub Quest: A Dungeon Walk’.

Please collect the rewards.]

Cafe Rieul was placed on a cliff overlooking the sea.

The word ‘placed‘ for a building is awkward, but this situation can only be expressed that way.

Did a hurricane happen while I was asleep yesterday? It’s not some sort of Wizard of Oz, how did the whole store building move to a strange place?

I gazed blankly at the blue sea out the window.

Yes, I like the sea, too. A peaceful summer resort is great. A vacation where you lie on a sunbed and do nothing, then eat and do nothing again. It’s fantastic.

However, I did not want the whole store to fly to the sea.

“What’s going on here….”

I decided to calm down and see if there were any other abnormalities.

The inside of the store was as usual. The space was accessible as usual, and the electricity and water supply are fine. However, my phone has no connection.

When I put down my phone that kept failing to connect, I found the quest completion notification blinking.

What kind of quest was this? I checked the detailed explanation of the quest, and soon lamented.

[Sub Quest: A Dungeon Walk

You’re tired of your work, go away.

Let’s go around the dungeon, take care of your health, and refresh your mood.

Enter a random dungeon: 1/1

Rewards: EXP (500 EXP), 100 rubies, random recipe]

[Experience: 500 EXP have been acquired.]

[You have reached Level 13.]

[You have acquired a new recipe ‘Irish Coffee’.]

…….

Yeah, I got this quest.

The fact that this quest, which was constantly ignored, was suddenly completed, that is.

This is in the dungeon….

Since I don’t want to go into the dungeon, it throws the whole store into the dungeon while sleeping. It is truly a system of great thinking.

I rubbed my forehead while glaring at the system notification, and Mieum protested next to me.

“Waeoolgh! Not me, it’s not me! I don’t know!”

“I haven’t said anything yet?”

“Didn’t you just look at me suspiciously!”

That’s true. It was this cat that was most closely related to dungeons and the system here.

However, Mieum ran wild, claiming that it was unfair, and eventually drooped her head and muttered.

“Waeoong … I don’t have the authority to do such a big thing. What kind of power does a low position have….”

Next to this cat, who is in a state of wasting time and reciting the sorrow of a subordinate.

“Kkyuuuuu! Kkyuu, kkyuuuu!”

This time, Lime suddenly began to cry with tremendous momentum.

“Lime-ah, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”

Seeing the body bouncing like a rubber ball, it looks like it has something to say. I quickly took out the slime language translator and tried to interpret Lime’s words.

“Kkyuuu .. kkyuu!”

━ I can feel His power up close.

“Who is he? Rather, Lime-ah, do you know where this place is?”

“Kkyuu, kkyuu, kkyuuuuu!”

━ The Eternal Living Flame, His great garden. Worship.

“….what? So who is that?”

“Kkyuuuu, kkyu … kkyuuu….”

━ 3.14159265358979…….

This time, the circumference rate came out. I asked a few more times, but the results were the same. The periodic table of elements, the quadratic formula, etc. Anyway, something irrelevant to what I was curious about came up and and then it ended up being silent.

What a have-no-answer science slime.

Why are all the animals in my house like this….

I gave up getting information from Mieum and Lime and approached the window. I opened the window slightly and looked outside with only my head sticking out. I looked around for a while, but all I could hear was the sound of the wind.

As I was doing it for a long time, Ash came closer and asked.

“What are you doing?”

“Ash, shh!”

Although it is inside the dungeon, there is no sign of a monster.

Instead, there is only a view that would fit a sub-title such as ‘Relaxing Episode Summer Vacation’.

Can I go outside? I don’t think there’s any dangerous monsters.

“Oh, wait a minute, Ash! Don’t go out on your own!”

“Are you going to stay like that? If you’re late, I’ll leave you behind.”

Ash grabbed the doorknob and asked with a sullen look.

Er, I don’t know. It’s not like I can find a solution just by thinking about it here. I went out of the store after Ash.

I searched around with Ash for a moment. However, there was nothing particularly noticeable, and the system window was still quiet.

I was about to say let’s not go too far and go back to the store first.

Rustling.

I heard the sound of something stepping on dry grass right up close. At that moment, my nerves were on edge.

“Ash, stand back. There’s something over there.”

“Don’t be scared. I’ll take care of it if I have to.”

Contrary to Ash’s intention, the way he straightened his shoulders while saying that was very cute.

“So if I protect you, you and I will….”

“Will?”

“Will be…!”

As soon as Ash was about to say something, the presence beyond the bushes grew bigger. I was surprised as I stared over the bushes with the intention of roasting it with the power of the ring on my hand.

It was …. a cow.

A large body, black spotting fur on white background, and a mild-looking face. I rubbed my eyes and stared at it again, but it’s really a cow. The only thing that was unusual was the golden triangular horns on its head.

Soon, a system notification appeared in front of my eyes.

[A Golden Triangular Rhinoceros (A) has appeared.]

Fortunately, the cow did not show aggression.

The cow, who glanced at us and soon lost interest, began to eat grass leisurely. The scenery worthy of the peaceful and idyllic summer vacation episode unfolded before my eyes.

Phew, I’m relieved. It’s not a dangerous situation.

“Ash, let’s go to the other side over there.”

But the sound of Tiling, as if trying to grab my foot, rang again.

[Sub Quest: Where is The Pounding Heart?

Don’t you need milk, an important ingredient that enriches the taste of coffee?

A Golden Triangular Rhino appeared in front of you.

Raise the favorability of the Golden Triangular Rhino to the highest level.

If you succeed in taming it, you can get milk.

Taming the Golden Triangular Rhinoceros: 0/1

Rewards: Exclusive Barn, Advanced Automatic Milking Machine]

Eek…..

Milk is still out of stock at the Dimensional Shop, and as a result, and the range of menus has been greatly reduced.

I need milk, I do need it, but … I don’t want to get it from a cow myself.

I hope this system remembers that I am a person who prefers to buy and spend money rather than DIY.

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros is indifferent to you.]

[Favorability: ♡♡♡♡♡]

The problem is now that the entire store is teleported into an unknown dungeon. There is no other information other than this sub quest.
