Afternoon Business 3
Liria listened to the customers’ stories and could not understand why anyone would eat something mixed with chocolate that tasted like mint chocolate.
She had only ever heard people talk about mint chocolate, and she had never once tried it herself.
Forcing herself to try it was out of the question.
“It tastes good.”
“Liria, it’s delicious too.”
“Glad you enjoyed it. I should have bought more.”
“It’s enough. If you need more later, just go again.”
“Liria is fine too.”
Both of them had eaten a large lunch and snack, so their stomachs were not empty.
The customers watched Liria eat with warm, affectionate expressions.
“Liria, if you do mukbang YouTube, it’s going to be a massive hit!”
“Seriously, I agree.”
“I don’t watch mukbang at all, but I always watch Liria’s videos.”
“Me too.”
Kim Gayoung’s group felt they had made the right decision by filming Liria’s mukbang.
It was a little disappointing that they had not been able to record the ice cream mukbang.
“Dahye, will you film the video?”
“What? Can I really go?”
“Of course. Liria’s adorable face should be captured on camera.”
“I’ll be right back.”
Park Dahye smiled brightly and dashed over to Liria, immediately starting to record.
Liria turned her gaze toward the camera the moment Park Dahye activated it.
The customers were wondering whether she would actually upload the video to YouTube.
“Are you going to upload it to YouTube?”
“Yes. I don’t have a channel yet, but I plan to upload it later.”
“I’ll subscribe immediately. It’s going to be amazing!”
“Me too.”
“Thank you.”
Park Dahye was convinced that Liria’s mukbang video would succeed.
Liria possessed a cuteness that was completely different from other mukbang or review YouTubers.
Park Dahye suddenly had a brilliant idea.
She had originally planned to ask Na Sujeong for advice about YouTube, but now she thought she should consult her instead.
According to Liria, the person with the blue light was difficult to find.
Moreover, as a female YouTuber with the blue light, she was the perfect candidate.
“Well eaten.”
“This is cold, sweet, and soft, and it’s incredibly delicious. Where did you buy it?”
“It’s a specialty ice cream franchise. It’s only a ten-minute walk.”
“Is that so? This must be very expensive.”
“It’s around five or six thousand won. It’s not that pricey.”
“It’s cheap.”
“Still, it’s expensive for ice cream. Hehe.”
Silvia discovered that the price of ice cream was cheaper than she had expected.
However, she could not buy even a single item with the gold coins she possessed.
She knew she could exchange the gold coins for money at the gold shop, but she had no intention of doing so.
“From next week, money will start coming in. Buy as much as you want then.”
“Is that so. Today’s profit will come in next week?”
“Yes. Silvia unnie. Hehe.”
Liria still had no Korean money, but from next week onward she would have some breathing room.
Lee Nami suggested creating a space in the cafe for herself and Silvia.
She had never played games with Silvia yet, but she was certain it would be fun.
Moreover, Earth had countless cultural attractions—movies, dramas, anime, comics, novels.
Silvia finished the ice cream and began studying Hangul again.
It was impressive that Silvia, who wanted to learn directly, was so dedicated.
Song Jisu was amazing for remembering everything after just one lesson.
In such a short time, she had already mastered almost all the pronunciations of Hangul and could speak them fluently.
Once she understood the meanings of the words, she would be able to speak Korean well.
But Silvia had already learned Korean perfectly right after mastering Hangul.
With translation magic, it was simple to translate anything she could read.
“Today’s first business is over.”
“Wow, more than three hundred people came today.”
“The coffee sales alone reached 1.8 million won. After fees and taxes, quite a bit will be deducted.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“No, no. Working here is so easy and enjoyable. It’s all thanks to Liria.”
“Yes. Everything was takeout, and the coffee machine was incredibly convenient.”
“Silvia unnie chased away those weirdos so perfectly.”
Liria was overjoyed that the first business had gone so smoothly.
Without them, she would have started the business using her gold coins and it would have taken a very long time to reach this point.
On the very first day she had become the landlord and sold three hundred cups.
She had never imagined the business would succeed so well from the very beginning.
“Earlier, that YouTuber and Hong Doowon were supposed to come. They said they arrived ten minutes ago.”
“I see.”
Kim Gayoung’s group was now preparing to close, and Liria escorted Yu Jaeseung and Song Jisu home.
Na Sujeong had come to the cafe, but the blue light did not turn on.
The red light kept flickering on and off repeatedly, yet the blue light only activated once at the very beginning.
She had set it up out of consideration because the person with the blue light disliked being noticed.
Kim Gayoung’s group was astonished that people with the blue light had gathered here.
All of this had been created by Liria.
“Excuse me, you called? What is it?”
“I wanted to discuss something about YouTube.”
“Is that so? Should I not have uploaded the video?”
Na Sujeong spoke in a teary voice.
She had finally caught the perfect opportunity to grow after a moment of success, yet it felt as though it would remain nothing more than a fleeting dream.
But their next words were completely unexpected.
“Actually, Liria wants to start YouTube, so I called to ask for advice.”
“What? Really?”
Na Sujeong believed that if Liria started YouTube, it would definitely be a huge success.
Simply existing would be a cheat key for YouTube.
She had planned to subscribe immediately if Liria began.
If she could watch Liria’s videos every single day, each day would feel happy.
“Yes. For now, I’m thinking of starting YouTube, including mukbang.”
“Mukbang? If it’s Liria, it will definitely succeed.”
Na Sujeong imagined Liria’s mukbang.
Just imagining it was too cute.
But why was she asking her about YouTube?
Liria seemed like a being who would succeed just by filming videos.
Na Sujeong thought Liria would gain nothing from someone like her.
Kim Gayoung showed Na Sujeong one of Liria’s mukbang videos.
“How is this video?”
“Wow, it’s so cute.”
“Right? Do you want to be Liria’s YouTuber partner?”
“What?”
Na Sujeong could not hide her surprise at Kim Gayoung’s suggestion.
She was only a 1,000-subscriber female YouTuber, while Liria was a guaranteed success ticket.
There was no reason to work with her.
“I’m only a 1,000-subscriber female YouTuber. Liria will succeed just by uploading videos?”
“We’re busy with the cafe and know nothing about YouTube or editing. That’s why I was worried, but I remembered Na Sujeong.”
“Instead, I’m recommending you because you’re a female YouTuber. I couldn’t ask a big YouTuber to do it with me.”
“Hearing that, it makes sense. Do you want to do it with me, Liria?”
“Of course.”
Na Sujeong was deeply moved by Liria’s words that she wanted to do it together.
It had been two years since she started YouTube, but she only had about 1,000 subscribers.
Currently it was just a hobby, done alongside part-time work.
She had recently quit that part-time job and was now looking for a new position.
If she worked with Liria, she would not need to find a job, and success was guaranteed.
But was it right to give this opportunity to someone who had never seen it before?
She thought it would be better to work with a much more accomplished YouTuber than herself.
“Doing it with other YouTubers besides me would be better.”
“Liria will do it with the blue light person.”
“You said the blue light person is kind, but I’m not that kind. There are probably many kinder people than me among other YouTubers.”
“Are you not wanting to do it with me?”
“Not wanting? It’s too good, but I thought it might be a nuisance.”
Na Sujeong did not want to become a nuisance to Liria.
She was an ordinary YouTuber with no talent for the platform and only knew how to edit a little.
In contrast, Liria was an incredibly cute and lovable being.
“Liria still wants to do it.”
“I see. I’m grateful, but instead, do this.”
Na Sujeong explained the conditions for doing YouTube with Liria.
Na Sujeong said she would take on the role of manager for Liria’s YouTube.
It seemed right to take a break from the current YouTube.
She had already uploaded today’s filmed video to her own channel, so she wanted to direct her subscribers to Liria’s YouTube.
That way, it felt like repaying the subscribers who had supported her.
If the subscribers learned about Liria’s cute YouTube, they would surely be delighted.
“I see.”
“Here, take the camera.”
“Ah, thank you. I was about to say no earlier.”
Na Sujeong received the camera from Park Dahye.
Thinking about properly watching Liria’s mukbang video made her heart flutter.
