Episode 29
“Would you like to buy something from me? I happen to have a decent amount of diamonds right now.”
Millen’s words were shameless to the point of being brazen.
It was practically the same as saying he’d force a sale on me the moment I got some diamonds. I narrowed my eyes.
Go ahead and tell me what it is. If it’s not good, I’ll tear you apart without mercy!
With this firm goal in mind, I asked him.
“What kind of item is it?”
“It’s a magical tool I made. Why would you think I’d sell you something strange?”
“That’s not it. Millen’s items have always been the best.”
I was being sincere.
His tools were all top-notch. They were tools that a modern person’s limited imagination could never conceive of.
I’m amazed every time I use them.
The all-purpose kettle, the container that grinds anything well, and the steamer that even gods would admire!
Every time I list the tools he’s made one by one, the emotions I felt when first using them come flooding back.
That’s how much Millen’s magical tools were items you absolutely had to have if you could get them.
So I opened my eyes prettily.
‘Right, what do I have to be picky about?’
If Millen was willing to sell it to me, this was a situation where I should immediately shout ‘Okay!’
I smiled sweetly and politely extended both hands to Millen.
“So please sell it to me right now.”
“Didn’t your attitude suddenly change?”
“Oh come on, that’s a misunderstanding. I’ve always been kind and affectionate to Millen.”
“…Ha.”
I heard an incredulous laugh. At the same time, I could see Millen’s disgusted expression.
If I lose momentum here, I wouldn’t be me. I smiled so sweetly it was nauseating. It was the special smile I used to show to bosses who talked nonsense when telling them to get lost.
People who saw this would shut up on their own and move on to the main point.
It was the same with Millen.
He moved his lips then let out a sigh. Then he took something out of his pocket.
“…A broom?”
To be precise, it was a broom model.
A small broom model about the size of a palm.
Even so, the bristles gleamed with luster. Looking at the mysteriously sparkling broom model, I blinked.
“What is this?”
“It’s a broom. Can’t you tell by looking?”
“No, I’m not asking about that. I mean, please explain what kind of tool this ‘item’ is.”
“I thought you’d figure it out just by looking… You still don’t know me.”
“…Of course. Weren’t we still in the stage of getting to know each other?”
That disgusted expression again.
Seeing that expression twice in a row… Hmm, it felt like awakening to a new preference.
So Millen gets disgusted when I throw lines like that at him. I learned an interesting fact.
I grinned. Once again, Millen’s sigh flowed out.
“You’re all talk… Didn’t you say you were cleaning?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Then I’ll show you directly. You’ll understand how to use it better if you see it yourself.”
“That would be great for me!”
“Haah, then follow me.”
Finally letting out his third sigh, Millen turned his back to me. I could see the back of his head shaking left and right.
I stuck close behind him and chattered away. I eagerly asked whether he saw the customers who came today, whether he directly witnessed how well I work.
Well, no answer came back. I didn’t expect one anyway, so it was fine.
Like that, we went down to the 1st floor.
The hall that had been packed with customers was now empty, making it feel desolate.
“I’m thinking of moving up the closing time starting tomorrow. I set it at 10 o’clock for now, but with the carriages and all… I’m thinking of closing after the sunset, what do you think?”
“That’s a good idea. If you work this long again, you’ll collapse again.”
“….”
He got me there.
But since his words made sense, I couldn’t argue back. I just stood there quietly and stared blankly at Millen.
He shrugged his shoulders lightly then opened his mouth.
“Then watch carefully. I’ll only show you once.”
Millen acted immediately without waiting for my answer.
The broom model in his hand dropped with a thud.
The small broom soon touched the floor.
At that moment.
Whiiiiiing!
A powerful wind began to blow inside the cafe.
It was a very fast and fierce wind. It was so powerful that if you weren’t careful, all the neighborhood’s objects and people could get swept up in it.
However.
‘…What is this?’
It’s warm?
The wind that touched me was warm. At the same time, my apron seemed to have mysteriously become cleaner.
Feeling something strange, I immediately looked around where the wind had touched.
“…Crazy.”
This is insane too.
The wind made all the dust accumulated everywhere disappear. Even the footprints created by the crowd of customers and the stains from spilled drinks.
It even seemed cleaner than before opening.
I admired it with my mouth agape.
The wind didn’t stay only in the hall. After cleaning the entire hall, they went into the kitchen.
The result was the same.
The coffee machine that had gotten dirty from making countless espressos was instantly spotless. The teacups waiting to be washed, the plates too, all sparkled without a speck of dust.
The fierce wind that had made everything spotless gradually became gentle.
Only a pleasant breeze remained in the shop, tickling me.
“…Wow.”
I absolutely have to buy this.
If I could finish cleaning in just 10 seconds! If I could finish without getting a single drop of water on my hands!
That tool is revolutionary!
I clapped in admiration. Millen’s shoulders rose about 1cm.
“So, how is it?”
“…Millen! Millen, you’re insane! How do you create something like this?”
“Ahem. You look satisfied.”
“Would I just be satisfied? My future just became incredibly bright!”
“Your future became bright too? Haha!”
Millen burst into loud laughter. After laughing while covering his mouth with his hand, he held out the broom that had somehow returned to his hand.
“Ah, ten diamonds.”
“You’ve gotten quick now.”
“I should know at least this much.”
I quickly took out 10 diamonds from my pocket. Then I instantly exchanged the broom and 10 diamonds.
With just this, I don’t have to clean!
Intoxicated by this fact, I scrunched up my face and laughed “hehe.” Seeing that, Millen shook his head and pointed to the stairs.
“Then it’s time to sleep now. Lock up properly and come upstairs.”
“Of course! Millen, sleep well.”
“…Right. Lailah, you sleep well too.”
Millen looked down at me quietly for a moment, then quickly turned his head away. Without looking back, he went straight up to the 2nd floor.
I carefully pushed the broom model I had purchased into my pocket.
A humming tune flowed out naturally.
“I should hurry and sleep too.”
As Millen said, once I lock up, closing is finished.
The day of the cafe’s opening came to an end like this.
* * *
The day after opening.
“Hmm, I knew this would happen.”
I sighed and glared at the translucent window that appeared before my eyes.
Main Quest!

-Host a tea party within one week
(6 days 23:59:59)
Reward: 3,000 gold & 10 diamonds

‘I would have been disappointed if there wasn’t one.’
At least this Quest was easy, which was fortunate.
A tea party is simple enough – just distribute invitations and gather people, right?
It’s a very simple task. I nodded while looking at this Quest that came out mercifully for once.
“Right, if you have any compassion, you should do this at least once.”
But as I stared at the Quest quietly, something bothered me.
“But why give a whole week for something like this?”
Are there other hidden conditions?
Maybe there’s something I haven’t discovered? The content might change midway like when I received Frizia’s Quest before.
I stared at the Quest window quietly, then got up from my seat.
Just looking at it won’t give me answers.
So I prepared to open the cafe. Iliyana, who was working part-time for a week, also came right on time.
We opened smoothly and continued business when.
“Um, hello.”
The aristocratic young lady I had regrettably missed yesterday appeared on her own.
And at the same time.
Main Quest!
-The Path to Becoming a Novice Boss 2
