Coffee Expert 4
Upon waking, Hong Doowon's wife Seo Jiyoung stirred.
Hong Doowon rushed over to his wife without delay.
Hong Jihye, hearing her mother's voice, approached with tears welling up.
Seo Jiyoung had heard her husband and daughter's voices while she was a plant person.
Fortunately, her brain hadn't died, but she had been in a state where her body couldn't move.
She was immensely grateful to her husband and daughter who had cared for her in the single room without giving up on her till the end.
“Actually, I was listening to everything while lying there. I'm so grateful you didn't give up on me till the end.”
“What are you talking about? It's only been six years. I planned to take care of you for the rest of my life.”
“Yes. Taking care of mom wasn't hard at all.”
“Suddenly, an odd energy entered my body, and I started moving. This is the first time I've experienced this.”
“It really healed.”
“Are you really a High Elf and a Dragon?”
“I heard the whole story. You came from another world, right? I'm truly grateful.”
Seo Jiyoung shed tears and expressed her sincere gratitude to Liria.
If it hadn't been for Liria, she wouldn't have known when she would wake up.
She was truly grateful for Liria taking the time to come all the way to the hospital.
“I treated you as promised.”
“Truly, thank you. I will never forget this kindness.”
“It's really Liria.”
Hong Jihye felt grateful that Liria had awakened her mother.
She thought she should repay Liria for the favor like her father.
Liria was very happy that her healing magic worked well.
The time she had learned from Silvia had borne fruit.
“Think about your business well.”
“Of course. Jihye, can you finish preparing for discharge with mom? I'll go to the cafe for a bit.”
“Yes. Please go.”
“And you must not tell anyone about what is happening right now.”
“Of course. No one would believe it even if I told them.”
“Of course.”
After finishing her business, Liria and the group returned to the cafe in the car.
They were waiting for Liria at the cafe.
“You woke up?”
“Of course. I learned properly from my sister Silvia.”
“As expected, Liria. You have talent in healing magic too.”
They believed Liria could do it naturally.
Having both space-time magic and healing magic, Liria seemed capable of anything.
Treating a plant person wife in one go was truly amazing.
Seeing Liria smiling brightly, they smiled along.
“Healing magic is an important magic. However, if you increase the mana consumption, the image becomes unnecessary.”
“Ah, Lady Silvia is a Silver Dragon, right? Is healing magic important for the image?”
“Magic is like that in general. The amount of mana, the image, and strong magical power greatly influence the effect of magic.”
“Then, even if using the same magic, the effects would differ depending on the power.”
“That's right. The magic of high-powered dragons and high elves is the strongest. Liria is amazing even at her young age.”
“Liria is strong.”
Liria said with a smug expression.
Park Dahye decided to think of it as an example like games.
Mana is MP, and magical power is INT.
Even with the same mana, the effect varies depending on the magical power.
“So, my wife could wake up in one go?”
“That's right. Praise Liria.”
“Of course. If it weren't for Liria, I wouldn't know when my wife would wake up.”
Silvia was confident that Hong Doowon, who had received a favor from Liria, would treat Liria well.
Hong Doowon had worked for six years to wake his wife, but without much effect.
But waking up with just one magic spell, it was like a miracle.
“Then, let's talk about the business. What do you think Liria should do?”
“Are you thinking of entrusting me with work because you're planning to expand the business?”
“That's right.”
“Then, first, I think it's priority to raise the value of coffee and let people know about it at the Elf Cafe here. I think the business expansion with me can be done later.”
Hong Doowon thought it was too early to expand the business.
He planned to rejoin the coffee association he belonged to.
And he planned to imprint Eleas Coffee on them and raise its value to the heavens.
“First, I plan to return to the coffee association.”
“The coffee association?”
“Yes. I plan to showcase Eleas Coffee to the members of the association worldwide there.”
“Ah, so that's how you're raising the value.”
“Yes. I think that's the fastest way right now.”
“Are you planning to show it 100%?”
“Yes. I think that's the best way.”
Hong Doowon planned to receive the raw beans from Liria and showcase them to them.
But the problem was that there might be humans trying to secretly grow the raw beans by stealing them.
“But the problem is that not only good people are in the association. There will be people who try to secretly grow the raw beans by stealing them.”
“You don't have to worry about that.”
“Huh?”
“What do you think is the reason Eleas raw beans are traded at high prices? Do you think no one would think of moving them to plant them as raw beans?”
“Is that so? With Eleas raw beans, someone might have tried it.”
“The conditions for Eleas coffee trees to grow can't be satisfied unless it's at the center of Eleas.”
Silvia explained to Hong Doowon the conditions for Eleas coffee to be completed.
To grow Eleas coffee trees, several conditions are needed.
First: It must be at a certain distance from the World Tree.
In Selenia, the World Tree exists only at the center of the Eleas highland.
Second: It must be a rich land full of spirits.
This also requires it to be near the World Tree.
The World Tree is the optimal condition with many spirits.
Third: There must be elves.
If there are no elves, it takes a considerable time to grow and produce Eleas coffee trees.
Moreover, coffee grown by elves boasts the highest quality.
Hong Doowon finally thought that stealing raw beans had no meaning.
“Are these three conditions impossible?”
“That's right.”
“Does the production of Eleas coffee depend on the hands of elves?”
“Of course, if High Elves handle it, they can produce even more. But Liria has given the opportunity to the elves.”
“So, that's why elves could earn more than 6-star adventurers.”
“That's right. Other races can't do it.”
Hong Doowon thought his worry about raw beans disappeared, and now there was nothing more to worry about.
They couldn't threaten them, couldn't grow them even if stolen, and couldn't even blackmail.
“Is it okay if Silvia and Liria's identities are revealed?”
“It's fine.”
“It's fine.”
“First, let's bring the raw beans to the association.”
“I understand.”
Liria handed the raw beans to Hong Doowon.
Hong Doowon took the raw beans and thanked Liria once again.
“I will never forget today's kindness. I will play a role in the association that spreads Eleas Coffee.”
“I understand.”
“Please take care. Uncle Hong Doowon.”
“Please take care.”
“Please take care.”
“Then, I'll visit again next time.”
“Later, when your wife is fully recovered, please come visit with your family. You don't want to give coffee to your family too?”
“Yes. Truly grateful.”
After Hong Doowon left the cafe, everyone sat on the sofa.
It was only a matter of time before Liria's coffee was known to many people.
Although Hong Doowon said he would spread Eleas Coffee, they thought they should work hard at the cafe too.
“I don't know how many cups I can sell a day.”
“I think if we do takeout, we can sell 1000 cups.”
“1000 cups a day is 6 million won. A month is over 100 million won.”
“Honestly, even if it's espresso-like coffee, it's hard to sell 1000 cups in 10 hours, but with the large coffee machine Liria gave, it seems possible enough.”
“What about 100% coffee?”
“What do you want, Liria?”
Kim Gayoung pondered whether she should not sell 100% as per Hong Doowon's words.
In a normal cafe, the customer is the boss, but in the Elf Cafe, Liria is the boss.
Liria could create a place that could sell enough with Hong Doowon even without selling coffee in the Elf Cafe.
Liria could leave the choice to Liria.
Kim Gayoung decided to present her opinion to Liria first.
“Honestly, I think we can make enough profit without selling 100%. Let's sell only 10% for now.”
“That sounds good.”
“I think we can do without selling 100% right now too.”
“Liria is fine with that.”
They couldn't use Eleas Coffee for bad things, but they didn't want bad people to commit crimes while drinking coffee, feeling refreshed, and having clear minds.
