SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon-Chapter 85

The system has clear intentions.

It must not because the saintess is a philanthropist that she prevented the death of Kwon Jiwoon, Jijon, and me.

Then, what is the intention behind it?

【There is no such thing. You just have to live your daily life in this second life.】

“Lies.”

【Yes, it’s a lie.】

Heat surged inside.

Let’s not get angry. I am an adult, an adult … think of this saintess as a superior employee who repeats funny jokes.

She’s A and I’m B. The saintess has Kwon Jiwoon’s life in her hands, so I have to endure it, I have to endure it…….

【You’re too much. I saved his life without any conditions, but such heartless words.】

Heh, do you read my mind?

【Someday, you will reach the Gate. Your cat will guide you.】

“……really?”

Are you sure you’re saying that after looking at Mieum’s daily life? She’s enjoying it after adjusting perfectly to the life of royalties.

【Ahaha, she woke up after a long time, so she got so excited. Please understand. She will fulfill the role of the seventh agent properly.】

“What is the Gate?”

【The Ultimate Gate. The pathway to reach the truth of the universe. The garden where the Great Master sleeps.】

I updated her description in my mind.

Meaningful….

A saintess character who appears at the beginning of a fantasy RPG game and speaks meaningful words to the novice protagonist, but does not explain it in an understandable way.

The white light grew stronger and the darkness trembled. This conversation seemed to have come to an end.

“Who are you?”

【You said I’m a saintess. It’s the first time I’ve been called like this. I really like this character.】

“Is the system you?”

【Rather than that, a tool for contacting this world without defying causality is what you call a system. Well, I made it, though.】

She drifted away. Only the voice can be heard clearly.

【Let me formally introduce myself to you. I……】

【The One-in-All. The All-in-One.】

【The one who observes all three times.】

【The manager who guards the Gate, and…】

An unpronounceable name tickled my ears.

The light was swallowed up by the chaos boiling deep in the darkness.

Not yet. There was something I had to ask.

I cried out in a hurry.

“One last thing! Why does the future change after I returned? Did such a big deal happen because I came back to the past?”

【I’m sorry, I can’t answer that. The law of causality applies strictly to me too. I cannot intervene in the actions of other Gods. However, you don’t have to blame yourself for what happened today because it’s not caused by you.】

“…….”

【And what does that matter now? For now, first of all, please rejoice in the return of your family.】

…….

…….

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the strong waves of ether and … Kwon Jiwoon, who was lying on the floor.

“Deputy guild leader!”

“Rieul-ssi!”

I heard a voice calling me from far away.

Slowly, I reached out and grabbed Kwon Jiwoon in front of me.

At that moment, the etheric waves that wandered around collapsed, and the translucent membrane was broken.

People outside rushed in and stopped walking.

In the suffocating silence, the tightly closed eyelids are slowly lifted.

“……?”

As if he did not immediately understand the situation, Kwon Jiwoon looked at me with a bewildered expression.

Haha, it was an expression that didn’t really suit his cold-looking face.

“Uh … the phantasmagoria….?”

Rush. I hugged the dazed Kwon Jiwoon tightly.

“Uh, Rieul-ah, why are you here….”

“Oppa, I’m glad you’re okay, heuk….”

Yes, what the saintess said is true.

Let’s first be happy that Kwon Jiwoon is alive. Other things are just trivial compared to him.

That Kwon Jiwoon doesn’t have to cry because he’s left alone.

With that being said, it’s … I think going back in time has a meaning.

For a while, the Hunter World was in a uproar due to the incident of Kwon Jiwoon’s guild that happened right after the Otherworld Gate.

A few days passed.

It was around the time when the enthusiasm of the special news and expert-invited case analysis broadcasts that were held every evening was also waning.

I was faced with one hardship.

“Kwon Rieul-ssi, please come forward.”

“Ah, yes … yes!”

Ah. My left arm and left leg came forward at the same time.

Click, click, click! As soon as I climbed onto the podium with a creaking step, the camera flash quickly exploded along with the sound of applause.

A middle-aged man with a gentle impression said something, but I couldn’t hear it well because I was nervous. That must have been a good word.

After receiving the square award that was pushed out in front of me, I was baptized again with photos.

“This concludes the 19th Hunter’s Night Commendation Ceremony.”

It’s been a while since I’ve worn a suit, and I felt uncomfortable every time I moved. I came down the podium after greeting the audience with an awkward gesture.

It’s over…

In the front row, Kwon Jiwoon smiled and waved his hand. My eyes naturally turned to him. With a shy expression on my face, I hurriedly took a seat next to Kwon Jiwoon.

As to how this happened….

After Kwon Jiwoon woke up within the barrier that day, I went back to the store once to check Ash’s condition, but soon I headed back to the White Silver Guild.

And I talked a lot with Kwon Jiwoon.

There’s a lot of stories, really.

Kwon Jiwoon explained that in order to protect me, he had no choice but to keep a distance.

When I told him that I thought my brother hated me, he was startled and denied it.

“Every time, you told me not to show interest in Hunters and just be a normal person.”

“That’s … Hunters are ruthless and selfish, and fraudulent methods targeting the family of high-ranking Hunters are rampant.”

“I wish you had told me that.”

“But … yeah, it must have felt that way to you. I’m sorry.”

I wanted to complain a little more, but when I heard his worrds, all my anger vanished and I had a hard time pretending not to cry.

“Then, Rieul-ah. I’ve heard that you’ve awakened, but … what happened then?”

“That’s …. so … first of all, my class is a Cafe Owner.”

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

For a moment, I thought he was going to give me an unexpectedly normal reaction.

“I heard that your business is going well these days. The coffee you make is delicious, so it will continue to do well in the future.”

It’s definitely a good word, but somehow it feels like it’s missing the point. It’s an ambiguous reaction that seems to contain no soul.

I felt like I’m having a deja vu. Specifically, it made me remember the time when I revealed my Hunter Class to Ki Yoohyun

Kwon Jiwoon seems to have taken my words as a job introduction.

No, why would I suddenly bring up my job?

I wish I could get rid of the stereotypes about Hunter Class. Someone in the world might have a class called Cafe Owner besides me, right? If there is no Cafe Owner, at least there is a Restaurant Owner. Maybe.

“It’s not that, my Hunter Class is the owner of cafe. I’m an F-class Cafe Owner.”

“Oh? Ah, yes … what?”

I roughly recounted what had happened so far, except for the fact that I had regressed.

I couldn’t tell him the regression part because of the limitations of the system, and even though it had already happened, I didn’t want him to be saddened by the fact that I died once.

Since I omitted the part about the involvement of the saintess and the system, it turned out to be quite a bizarre story.

“Well, roughly … that’s what happened.”

It’s good to have an open conversation with Kwon Jiwoon.

It is difficult to maintain a serious atmosphere with family members for a long time. Should I say that my cheeks are itchy? It feels awkward and embarrassing. I was trying to bring up another topic, but Kwon Jiwoon suddenly opened his mouth.

“If that’s what happened, you should be rewarded.”
