SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon-Novel

SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon — Chapter 12

James returned home after sending me message that we should carry out our promise to be pen pals.

For the rest of the time, I rolled around watching TV on my bed.

A life of idleness with nothing to do … is really great. Some people might say that playing all-day is boring, but that doesn’t apply to me. The more I play, the more I want to play, so I think I can play forever.

Three days later, today, I received a call from Jina that the shop had been repaired. The leisurely hotel life was inevitably over. I left the hotel and returned to the store.

But … the store was unfamiliar. Is this really my store?

There was no dust on the floor and everything from the wallpaper to the furniture inside was changed into new ones. Even the coffee machine and various household appliances were neatly organized.

I can’t believe they repaired it to this extent … being attacked by monsters is a worthwhile experience.

No, kidding. It’s a joke. I took it back. A word becomes a seed. I don’t want to go through it again no matter how much I’ll gain from it.

Among them, the newly set table was so sophisticated that it seemed to be something that will be used by a popular cafe on Instagram.

I took out the Branch of Yggdrasil from my inventory and placed it on the table. The green leaves added a natural atmosphere to the interior.

‘This branch was really an interior item.’

What should I do? It would be a problem if the number of customers suddenly increases if this place is rumored to be a a cafe with pretty interior.

While I was excited with this vague delusion, the missing Mieum secretly appeared from the inside of the store.

“Mieum, where have you been?!”

“I was called for a while.”

“Where?”

“That … The system called me.”

It’s somewhat suspicious. She said she helped me because she was an agent of the system, but she’s not making excuses after running away alone when a monster appeared.

“What did you say back then?”

“…..Meow.”

Mieum played a different tune.

“Why, you said something about the cursed apostle.”

“Meooong, I’m hungry.”

I wanted to push more, but I stopped because Mieum looked dull.

Well, anyway, the monster died and she came back safely, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Now, I really hope nothing happens. It’s my wish, I hope it’s quiet and peaceful until I open a proper cafe.

***

Even so, in the end, my wish didn’t come true.

“….Ah.”

It was because the moment I was about to drink the last cup of my 100 cups of coffee mix, I made eye contact with a suspicious person.

Today’s Hunter TV Live is a video capture of the 2nd Ranker, Choi Cedric’s attack video and specifications O.O

I was a bit surprised that Choi Cedric couldn’t get first place with his specs.…

Honestly, he doesn’t even show up even though he’s ranked number one o.o LOL Is he even a real person??? It feels like I can only acknowledge him as the leader of Cheongna

You have to be active to be the No. 1 HAHAHAHA I think Cedric is better

***

— Apple Carrot Juice: This is fresh LOL

— arc***: I gave this 3 points. This is low-level aggro.

— OO: Crazy, in this lifetime I see all the bastards tried their best to find faults on Muwon HAHAHAHA Let me check your eyes

└ KimchiDumpling053: Why, didn’t you see Choi Cedric has the full reward with 60% contribution on B-grade quest dungeon in Gunsan? Has Muwon ever been like this???

└ OO: f*ck, at best, it’s only full B-grade rewards HAHAHAHAHA

└ Moong: I’m sure CNL gave him the last shot LOL

└ KimchiDumpling053: Instead of laughing, ask Muwon to explain

└ OOD: Don’t feed the trolls~

— Creature: Choi Ce, is this you?

— sus***: Choi Ce-ya, stop babbling and go to sleep

— Healer Recruitment: Why do these sucking bastards fall for the idle Muwon? LOL

└ 10th Year Hunter

— Green Onion Kimchi: Today’s hot take is this

└ ttl***: Uncle, go to work;

— HaHa: I don’t understand why aggro always talking nonsense about Muwon when Cheongna is clearly there yeye Muwon raised Cheongna, idiots.

— Cha Chayoung: Is this such a strange post? I honestly think it’s true?? I’m not interested in Choi Ce, but 60% on B-grade is amazing.

└ rrr***: That’s right HAHAHAHA

└ OO: How much do you get paid to write this? LOL

— FLIGHT: I’m so annoyed with aggro, so let me try to explain everything –‘ Choi Ce is strong, but he awakened as an A-class, then they made him a S-class because he won the second place. Yes. But in HunChan, there’s a rumor that everything was planned for Choi Ce. There’s even whispers about the reason the 20th ranker left CNL was because they gave everything to Choi Ce.

— FLIGHT: Next. Is it true that Muwon was the one who created the current Dungeon Management Office system?

└ Buy me a Golem: What is this??? Isn’t it the government???

└ Lime Love Team: Before the establishment of the Management Office, it was an Awakening Center. You can’t set up a guild like now, and the Hunter will unconditionally become a public servant hahaha

— FLIGHT: Lime is right, yes. There was a lot of corruption and the hunters were exploited. Back in my day, they will catch you if you accidentally run your mouth on HunChan.

└ Lime Love Team: I was called down to the basement and they asked me why I wrote my post then pressured me to delete it haha we also have a quota of ore, so we have to go to the dungeon and dig for it

└ HaHa: Even if you get an item, it will unconditionally go to the Center … the Hunter can’t even touch it

└ 10th Year Hunter: There’s a lot of tangle here. Isn’t there also a rumor that the Center did some kind of experiment?;;

└ DungDungTakTak: There was a rumor like that … that the Awakening Center tried to create the Awakened …. I don’t know if it’s true or not

└ OO: I’m telling you, the evidence is all gone now

└ [This comment has been deleted due to accumulated reports.]

└ [This comment has been deleted due to accumulated reports.]

— FLIGHT: Anyway, Muwon rebelled against it and ran out of the Center, then he set up his own guild 10 years ago. After that, the Awakening Center collapsed then and the Management Office was established.

└ cba***: Does that make sense?;; The Center collapsed because one hunter left? Wow???

└ HaHa: What if that one hunter is the No. 1 HAHAHAHA even if they changed, they already lost the 1st ranker.

— FLIGHT: Haha, that’s why even if Muwon hides his identity, the Management Office can’t touch him.

└ Nickname: Thank you, explanatory worm.

└ Buy me a Golem: Hul … God-Muwon didn’t let me to be a public servant HAHAHA

— Hunter’s Roomcorner: Did you forget that he gave up on attacking the A-class dungeon in Chuncheon two years ago? HAHAHAHAHA Who fixed that??? The idle Muwon took care of it

└ Sniper Fairy: It was famous LOL The Great Escape of Choi Ce

└ OO: I’m afraid that he needs to shield himself because it’s an A-grade LOL He realised that he was transformed into S-class, right??? What’s stopping him in slurping Chuncheon LOL

— Where is Kimchi: Kimchi Dumpling bastard, you changed your nickname because we talked about Chuncheon Dungeon, are you scared? HAHAHAHA

└ Super God Kimchi: They’ll bury it if you stay quiet, but Choi Se always scratch it

— del***: [Link] Muwon’s Chuncheon Dungeon video. If you look at this, you can see that the A-class daemon melts the moment it enters the Muwon Field.

└ Sugar Drip: ??? This is possible???

└ Legend11: How can you compare that Choi Se with this hahahahaha

└ cba***: I can’t see his face because it’s shaky TT

└ Buy me a Golem: Ahh f*ck the video was deleted ㅡㅡ I missed it again T_T T_T T_T

└ TT: Let us watch it too, Cheongna bastards ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

— Double Two: But, really, why is Muwon hiding his identity this much? Even the video was taken without a proper shot at his face

└ Jeju Guild District 1: I would brag about it to everyone if I’m ranked as the No. 1

└ Kano-jjang: I guess he’s not an attention seeker like you

└ MM: Is it because he’s ugly? ;;;;

└ lI1l1Il: but when a Hunter awakened, their appearance will get better, right?

└ OO: Maybe it’s not enough LOL

└ MayoMayo: Han Yiseong knows Muwon’s face,, if only he told us whether he was handsome or not

In a flash, a black shadow disappeared through the window.

“Mi, Mieum, that!”

“Meow?”

I didn’t see it wrong, did I? I’m sure I saw someone standing by the window.

Contrary to my fuss, Mieum just lay on her stomach and scratched the floor as if she had not seen anything.

I got goosebumps.

In fact, while resting at the hotel, I was in a state similiar to arkoudaphobia. I was surprised to see a polar bear documentary on TV, my heart pounded when I saw a large teddy bear in a souvenir shop, and my heart raced just by looking at the bear emoticon on KakaoTalk.

I almost died. That’s how much the aftereffects were in this world.

Maybe the monster appeared again….

No, it’s not. That’s impossible. Let’s calm down. Who could be that unlucky. Yeah, I must have mistakenly seen the leaves flying in the wind.

“It’s especially windy today.”

“Kya? What are you talking about? Isn’t the weather nice?”

It’s the wind … right?

“Uh….”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Uugh….”

“Go to the bathroom if you are in a hurry.”

“That’s not it!”

As expected, I can’t do this. After contemplating, I put down the last cup of coffee mix.

I can’t just leave a nauseous feeling at this historic moment ahead of the quest completion.

It’s probably not a leaf that’s flying in the wind, but it’s definitely nothing!

I’ll check it quickly, then I can receive 5 million won with a refreshing heart.

I opened the door and went out to the front yard. Even if it was a yard, it didn’t take long to look around because there was only a small space between the wall and the store.

‘No one’s here, right?’

I tried to get into the road with peace of mind.

Squash.

‘Squashy?‘

I felt an unfamiliar touch my her feet. what? The moment my feet slammed on the floor again, a short scream was heard from below.

When I looked over there, there was a man curled up under the wall, hiding. He opened his mouth, pointing to his foot trampled by my left foot.

“Ouch, ouch … excuse me, could you put your foot away please…..”

“Ahhhhhh!”

It’s a person. A person has appeared.

Wait, a person? Whew, I thought it was a monster. Why is anyone in this place and making me confused?

“Sssh, look, if you can keep your voice down for a moment….”

Hiding on the wall was a man with disheveled hair and thick-rimmed glasses covering his face. His face was pale, but he’s smiling.

My grandmother used to say this. Beware of the man who smiles at the first meeting.

Actually, she never said that.

In any case, he was suspicious even at a glance.

“Who … who are you?!”

“So, please lower your voice….”

“Don’t tell me … are you a peddler?”

“That’s not true, but….”

Then, there was a movement over the wall. There seemed to be several people running this way from over there.

The man covered my mouth with his hand and hid himself against the wall.

“I don’t read newspapers. The water pipes are fine. There’s a lot of toothpaste … huufp?!”

“Shh, be quiet.”

“Ugh, mmph, mmph, hmmmp (What is this, you crazy bastard)!”

“Wait a minute, like this.”

“Ugh (Let go of me)!”

I struggled, but the man did not release his hand.

“Where did he go?”

“Go over there!”

“Once you get caught, I really won’t let you go!”

After a while, the sound of words faded away. It was not until the people were completely out of sight that the man finally got up.

Translator’s Corner:

Here comes the dictionary.

Real life player kill / 현피는 (Hyeon-pi): It is a slang term that combines “현실 (hyeon-sil)” the Korean word for reality, and “player kill.” It occurs when an online debate or argument leads to physical fight in real life. Hyeon-pi in the dungeon probably means that the guild was banned because they’re fighting in the dungeon over an internet’s arguments. A word becomes a seed (말이 씨가 될라): It is a proverb that means “things can happen as you say, so don’t say something recklessly“. 말 is what we talk, 씨 is seed (they sound really similar). When you put seed on the ground and give them some water, it becomes bigger and you can get some fruits from it. This way, your talk can become a seed and you will reap the fruit of it. Aggro (어그로):: abbreviation of Aggravation used in korea. It means a meaningless behavior or talk just to take others’ attention. The english slang similiar to this would be trolls. Don’t feed the trolls (병먹금, short for 병신에게 먹이 금지): an internet slang meaning “to ignore mean persons/idiots”. Some people engage in Aggro, a behavior in which they are being disrespectful in order to bring the attention to themselves. You should just 병먹금 these people. Kongline (콩라인): a group of people who are always second and have never been the first. Explanatory worm (설명충): a person who boringly explains things that they know well. Arkoudaphobia = the fear of bears.

Oh, and HunCha is short for Hunter Channel. ISTG I spent 15 minutes thinking about this one, before I remembered that the forum was named ‘Hunter Channel’.

And will it be fine if I just write the korean suffix (things like -ssi, -ya, -nim, -ah, etc.) just the way it is? There’s a limit of what can be translated to English, and using ‘Sir’ and ‘Miss’ is uncomfortable when this is a modern story with korean name.

I hope the netizen talks are understandable enough for you. I already tried my best with that amount of internet slangs, but I guess the result is still in poor quality … in the meantime, there will be no updayes for 2 or 3 days because I need to recover from all these internet slangs.
