SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon - Chapter 94

Chapter 94

.

Yeah, it’s true that I need milk, and if it’s about favorability, there’s a ‘Smile‘ skill, so let’s give it a try it.

‘Smile.’

My lips moved naturally and drew a perfect commercial smile.

[Activating the ‘Smile‘ skill.]

[Lv. 1. Effect: Smiling makes you feel better. This improves the mood of the subject.]

[The cast subject’s favorability increases.]

“Eummoo.”

The golden triangular rhinoceros that was grazing turned its head and looked at me.

Oh, it’s weak reaction, but it’s responsive.

All right, let’s do it again. And then again, again….

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros is a bit interested in you.]

[Favorability: ♥♡♡♡♡]

“Heuh, heuugh…”

The corners of my mouth ached. I don’t know how much I smiled to fill just one heart.

On calculation, it seemed that it would take enough time to make my mouth cramp to fill up to five hearts at this speed.

It must have been quite boring to just watch what I was doing. Ash took a step closer to the cow.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“That’s it, I was trying to tame this cow by increasing the favorability.”

“That’s the way of a weak human being. Predators do not seek the favor of their prey.”

Huh?

Now I know that our genius part-timer is not an ordinary 8th grader boy, but a mysterious unknown entity called the incarnation. I learned about it from the last black mucus incident.

Even so, the dialogue just now greatly seemed like something that was said by a boy in his storm and stress period.

“Isn’t it enough to turn this disobedient monster into steaks?”

“Aaaaah! Kim Ash, calm down! The Golden Triangular Rhino is a milk cow, not beef cow!”

I caught Ash in a hurry.

“Cows are the same when they are roasted over a fire.”

“Mmmoooo!”

Surprised by Ash’s spirit, the Golden Triangular Rhino took a step back.

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros is wary of you. The favorability decreases.]

No, how did I raise its favorability!

“Calm down, yes, think of cafe mocha! You need milk to make delicious cafe mocha!”

Stop.

At the word ‘cafe mocha‘, the part-timer of our house stopped moving.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I quickly opened the Ether-Wiki. It was to find a way to increase the favorability other than using the smile skill.

《Golden Triangular Rhinoceros》

Type: Animal Monster>Mammal

Grade: A

Description: A cow monster that lives only in A-grade clean dungeons. It is characterized by black and white spots, and the main food is pasture. Its milk can be collected.

What the Golden Triangular Rhinoceros likes:

The information was exactly what I wanted. According to the contents of this wiki, in order to increase the favorability….

“What are you doing outside, leaving me alone waeoong!”

At that time, Mieum and Lime came out of the cafe after hearing the commotion we made.

However, the Golden Triangular Rhino, who saw Lime’s vivid red body, suddenly began to snort.

Every time Lime bounced its body, it got more and more excited.

“…Kkyuuu?”

The Golden Triangular Rhino ran towards Lime. Surprised, Lime refused the cow by bouncing its body.

But each time the vivid red lump glimmered in front its eyes, the cow’s excitement grew more and more.

“Mmmmooo!”

“Kkyu, kkyuuu….”

Cows are actually color-blind, so the myth that they get excited when they see red is not true. For some reason, this Golden Triangular Rhinoceros seems to have suddenly became a fan of Lime.

Lick. The cow licked Lime’s smooth body with its tongue. The cow licked so meticulously, it wasn’t long before Lime’s plump body became soaked with saliva.

“Kkyuuu, kkyu….”

The reaction showed that Lime hates it so much. I could even tell without using the slime language translator.

“Kyagyagyaolg! This red blob is full of saliva!”

Mieum backed away, frightened.

Splosh! Lime, who was dodging around, bounced off its body and stuck to the face of the Golden Triangular Rhinoceros.

It won’t be able to breathe if it continues like this. The moment I was about to separate Lime, who was quickly soaked in saliva, from the Golden Triangular Rhino.

“Mmm, Mmmoooo!”

The cow’s favorability began to rise.

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros is interested in the Red Slime.]

[Favorability: ♥♥♡♡♡]

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros is very interested in the Red Slime.]

[Favorability: ♥♥♥♡♡]

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros looks at the Red Slime with deep eyes.]

[Favorability: ♥♥♥♥♡]

The hearts were filled up red at an incredible speed … in the course of time.

[The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros thinks it’s okay to live together with the awesome Red Slime.]

[Favorability: ♥♥♥♥♥]

[Taming is complete!

Summon: The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros in love obeys you.]

[Congratulations! You have completed ‘Sub Quest: Where is The Pounding Heart?’.

Please collect the rewards.]

[Exclusive barn construction is available. Select “Build” in the space.]

[Advanced Automatic Milking Machine can be installed. Select “Install” after building the barn.]

The quest was cleared on its own.

“Mmmmme.”

The Golden Triangular Rhino walked into the space on its own before I could say anything.

It was said that love is like a spark, and indeed it was as fast as lightning.

***

Choi Yichan swung his sword at the monster.

Shashashak, kwang!

It was as fast as lightning. The sword accurately aimed only at the vital points of the monster. Choi Yichan, who finished the battle with agility that is difficult to imagine with his large body, checked the system window.

[Name: Choi Yichan

Class: Berserker (S) (Lv.39)

※ The Great Old One: In contract with the King in Yellow.]

The level has risen quite a bit. Now, if he catches a few more monsters, the quest will end.

“Haa….”

‘I want to go back soon.’

With that thought in mind, he grabbed his weapon, but he felt a presence behind him. The sound of someone stepping on dry branches.

Is there another monster? He must have killed all the monsters in this area.

The moment Choi Yichan tried to turn to the side where he heard the sound, a voice intervened.

【Don’t go that way.】

“Why?”

【Something bad will happen.】

Hmm.

After hearing those words, Choi Yichan was lost in thought for a moment, then headed to the place where the sound came without hesitation.

【Gosh, there’s no trust.】

It’s been several days since he entered the Great Dungeon Abyss. In the meantime, this King in Yellow has often meddled with him. Some places are dangerous, some have good items, and so on.

The result of naively following that voice was to fall into the high-level monster zone from the beginning.

Even though he’s an S-class, it’s the end of peace and the beginning of suffering for the dirt-spoon Hunter who has no practical experience and no decent items.

The present achievement was a level that was achieved through tears.

Choi Yichan’s action, stained with distrust, was firm. Leaving his giggling voice behind, he checked the identity of the presence. In preparation for the monster’s attack, he prepared to use his skills at any time with a weapon in his hand.

Crumble. The footsteps got a little bigger.

The location where the grass swayed was low. It is not something large in size. Considering the size of the sound, it weighs about 60 kg. There’s no way humans are here….?

“Huh, don’t tell me….”

For a moment, Choi Yichan doubted his eyes. However, his keen sense gave the same answer.

The owner of that presence is….

Shreek. He put the weapon in his hand.

A man appeared from where his gaze was directed.

He was a middle-aged man who lost his weapon and wandered around. He had no visible major wounds, but he seemed to have suffered quite a lot, with a thick beard and only a sheet of rag on his body. His face was thin because he lost weight, but his eyes were gleaming.

If this wasn’t in the dungeon, the awful-looking man would be misunderstood as a homeless person.

However, Choi Yichan approached him and bowed his head.

“Ahjussi, hello!”

“……?”

The middle-aged homeless man turned his head. He looked confused about where he was.

“I’ve met you once before, do you remember me? I’m a friend of Rieul, Choi Yichan. You’re Rieul’s uncle, right?”

“….Huh?”

Hunter Kwon Seokmin, the father of Kwon Jiwoon and the uncle of Kwon Rieul, who went missing in the maze dungeon a few years ago, looked surprised.

***

“Mmmoooo.”

“Yeah. Go, go.”

It’s on its own. A big cown sat down in the space and cried. In the meantime, the area was expanded as a quest reward.

As I got closer, the notification rang.

[You can build an exclusive barn. Do you want to build it?

Yes ☜ / No ]

In an instant, a barn with a roof and a feeder was built.

[Summon: The Golden Triangular Rhinoceros in love likes the special congratulatory address.]

[Advanced Automatic Milking Machine can be installed. Do you want to install it?

Yes ☜ / No ]

A milking machine with a thick tube and a stainless steel barrel was installed on the body of the Golden Triangular Rhino. I immediately pressed the button on the milking machine. For a moment, there was the sound of a machine running.

“……!”

Drip. White milk started pouring into the stainless steel barrel.

[Item: Freshly Squeezed Milk (★★★☆☆)

Milk freshly squeezed from from a rare A-class Golden Triangular Rhinoceros.

A rich taste different from ordinary milk.

It makes the quality of the drink better.]

This milk has one more star than when it was purchased from the Dimensional Shop. It was worthwhile to bring the Golden Triangular Rhinoceros after all the hard work.

“Kkyuu…”

Lime bounced its body as if telling me that it had done all the hard work.

Anyway, since I finally got my hands on the milk, I decided to have a cup of coffee before I looked around more.

At the moment, there is no hint about where this place is, and the freshly squeezed milk with a fragrant smell looked very delicious.

Can’t I drink coffee in the dungeon?

Of course, I can. Sure. Yes, dungeon exploration is also about eating.

I went straight out of the space with milk and prepared to make coffee. I displayed the recipe list that was much longer than the beginning and thought about what to make for a while.

The answer soon came out. That’s the menu I need now.

Ice cream coffee. This is a menu that I hadn’t made since Choi Yichan left with only one note.

To avoid misunderstanding, it’s not that I didn’t make it because of him. There were no customers looking for this menu because it was just winter.

I can’t even contact him through phone, and I don’t know where and what Choi Yichan is doing.

The Dungeon Management Office is looking for him like crazy, but if he has not yet been found in this narrow Korea, is he still inside the dungeon? I hope everything’s all right.

With that thought in mind, I quickly made coffee. I put ice, espresso, milk, and vanilla syrup in a glass. It was done after pouring plenty of ice cream and sprinkling chocolate powder.

This time, I also served the coffee to Mieum and Lime in a small glass. Although they were not usually interested in coffee, they drank the coffee without saying a word.

“Come on, Ash, try it.”

“….Okay.”

First, take a bite of ice cream, then mix it with coffee and take another bite. Naturally, exclamations flowed out.

“I think I’m going to live a little now….”

Ash agreed with a nod.

It’s a sweet coffee with milk that I haven’t tasted in a long time. Of course, the taste is good, but there was another reason why I chose this menu now.

Because it was so hot right here.

It was winter outside, but in one night, I transported over to a cliff on the beach in midsummer.

Translator’s Corner:

Storm and Stress: 질풍노도, a term to describe the emotional and behavioral troubles of adolescence. It’s an english translation of the term Sturm und Drang.

Dirt-spoon:the lowest level spoon in the theory of the low-income class, and in Korea, it refers to the working class or low-income class, and is a representative word that symbolizes poverty.

For people who missed Choi Yichan, here you go.

Thank you Amy Shi for the coffee!
