Chapter 39: YouTube Starts
“From tomorrow onward, you may come to our cafe and work. Liria will like it too.”
“Really? I can do it?”
“Liria is fine with it, right?”
“She is fine.”
“I am overjoyed. I get to see Liria every day.”
Na Sujeong was overjoyed at the prospect of working at the cafe and seeing Liria.
It would be far more enjoyable to edit while watching Liria at the cafe than at home.
Simply seeing Liria’s cuteness would feel like the fatigue would melt away.
“Then, when the cafe gets busy, may I help?”
“It’s fine. We have plenty of room with just the two of us.”
“I can handle serving. I’d love to help when you’re busy. What about Liria?”
“She is fine.”
“Liria said she is fine too. Hehe.”
Liria thought that Na Sujeong, who would be working with them, should be told about their secret.
Since it would continue, her identity would be revealed soon.
So it was better to speak of it in advance.
Liria summoned water from her hand.
“Liria is actually a High Elf.”
“Huh?”
Na Sujeong had no idea what to do with Liria’s sudden declaration.
She had thought it was merely a cute concept and it suited her perfectly.
She had not grasped the situation at all even after witnessing Liria’s magic.
“Liria is actually a real High Elf from another world. Silvia is from there too.”
“Huh?”
“We were all shocked. We accidentally met Liria and ended up working together like this.”
“All of you too?”
“Yes. The three of us originally planned to run a cafe, but after meeting Liria, we made her the president.”
“I am so shocked.”
Na Sujeong had no idea how to react.
But she had learned that Liria was a genuine High Elf.
Water flowed from an empty hand without falling to the floor and vanished.
“How old are you, Sujeong?”
“I am twenty-four.”
“I am twenty-three. May I call you unnie?”
“Of course.”
“Yes, unnie.”
Park Dahye, who was friendly, decided to call Na Sujeong “unnie” immediately.
Na Sujeong was deeply grateful for Park Dahye’s warm attitude.
It was so happy here because everyone was such good people.
“Then are the red and blue lights here real too?”
“Yes, unnie. Think of them as magical tools.”
“It is so amazing. Magic exists in this world.”
Na Sujeong found the existence of magic utterly astonishing.
If magic were shown on YouTube, it would definitely blow up.
Liria claimed to be an elf, so was it okay if her identity was exposed?
But there were too many bad people in this world, and many would try to exploit Liria.
She could distinguish them with the red light, but she worried whether they could defeat the evil with just the three of them.
Park Dahye, who read the change in Na Sujeong’s expression, could roughly guess what she was worried about.
She and everyone else here had the same concern.
“You are worried that Liria’s identity might be revealed to others, right? I understand.”
“Huh?”
“It’s fine. Liria is incredibly strong, unlike her appearance. Besides, there is Silvia.”
“Ah, the person you mentioned is a dragon?”
“Yes.”
Na Sujeong saw Silvia sitting on the sofa, scrolling on her smartphone.
She looked human no matter how you looked at her, yet she was a dragon. It was even more shocking than learning Liria’s true identity.
“Are you curious how we came to work with Liria?”
“I am extremely curious.”
“Then I will tell you.”
Park Dahye told Na Sujeong about their meeting with Liria and how they started working together.
Na Sujeong learned that Liria came from another world and possessed tremendous magic.
She also learned that Liria was a coffee expert, had cured the building owner, and that the building owner was now part of the group.
Since she would see the grandfather, grandmother, and Hong Doowon often, she told her everything.
“Thank you, Park Dahye.”
“You’re welcome. You can speak casually.”
“Thank you. I feel at ease with this.”
Na Sujeong was extremely grateful for Park Dahye’s kindness.
On the other hand, she wondered if she truly belonged here.
At six o’clock, Hong Doowon, Seo Jiyoung, and Hong Jihye arrived.
Na Sujeong had never seen a person with a blue light like herself and learned that the newcomer was a coffee expert.
She had heard they were important people for expanding the business with Liria.
After greeting the group and entering, they relaxed when Liria welcomed them.
When Hong Jihye saw Liria, she immediately ran over and held her hands tightly.
“Liria, thank you. Thanks to you, Mom woke up.”
“She is fine.”
“Uuu, I am so happy. You are so cute.”
This cute and kind child had healed her mother and even her and her father’s hearts.
While caring for her mother for a long time, the mental fatigue had been greater than the physical.
It was truly a miracle that she recovered completely after just one day of treatment from Liria.
“Huh? Is that Jihye? It has been so long.”
“Park Dahye?”
Park Dahye saw Hong Jihye and immediately ran over to hug her.
Hong Jihye had been Park Dahye’s closest friend in high school, and it was because of her that Park Dahye had gotten interested in coffee.
She had visited Hong Jihye’s house often, so she had seen Hong Jihye’s mother several times.
But she had never met Hong Doowon, so she had no idea that his wife was Hong Jihye’s mother.
“The person Liria treated was Jihye’s mother?”
“Huh? Yeah.”
“I was worried because I couldn’t contact you suddenly. I thought you were seriously ill, unnie.”
“Sorry. I dropped out of school and turned off my phone.”
Hong Jihye had stopped school when her mother got sick.
Her father said she could hire a caregiver, but Hong Jihye wanted to take care of her mother herself even if it meant taking the GED.
She had not met her closest friend for six years.
She never imagined she would meet like this suddenly.
Park Dahye approached Seo Jiyoung, whom she had not seen in a long time, and greeted her.
“Hello, unnie. It has been a while.”
“Yes, it has.”
“I never knew you two knew each other.”
“Because you couldn’t come home early.”
“Hello. I have heard a lot about Jihye.”
“I never imagined that Jihye’s friend was a cafe staff here.”
“Please speak casually.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
Park Dahye was a little surprised that her closest friend’s father was Hong Doowon, but rather it felt good.
Liria had made her meet her friend again.
She owed Liria another favor.
“How about steak for dinner tonight?”
“What is steak?”
“She is fine.”
“Steak means grilled beef.”
“If I explain it simply, think of it as the premium version of the beef patty in a hamburger. Of course, they are very different. Steak comes from higher quality parts and the cooking method is different.”
“I see.”
Silvia had eaten a lot of grilled meat in Selenia, but she was extremely curious about what grilled meat on Earth would be like.
She was extremely curious about the premium version of the hamburger patty she had eaten before.
The beef in hamburgers had been quite delicious, but if it was a premium version, saliva would flow.
Meanwhile, Na Sujeong was fidgeting, wondering if she belonged here.
She just wanted to go home quickly.
“May I go home now?”
“Unnie is now part of the family. We should go together.”
“Who is this person?”
“Liria and the person who will do YouTube. It is a very important role.”
“Really? Liria does YouTube too? Can I watch Liria on YouTube?”
“Yes. You should look forward to it. There are eating videos too.”
“Really?”
When Hong Jihye imagined Liria’s videos, her lips naturally curled up.
How cute would it be to see small, cute Liria eating with her tiny mouth?
Hong Jihye understood why she was here.
If Liria did YouTube, countless people would receive healing.
After closing the cafe, they decided to go to the restaurant Hong Doowon had reserved in advance.
When Liria went out, Hong Doowon called, and they decided to treat it as if they were going out to eat anyway.
The restaurant’s location was quite far, so they decided to take Hong Doowon’s car.
Silvia took a seat in the corner by the window, and Liria sat next to her.
She thought the right side window seat was the best, but for some reason Liria preferred the window seat.
Liria leaned on Silvia and looked out the window.
Hong Jihye thought it was good to turn the back seat to face each other.
They discussed who would sit next to Liria, but only compromised, so no decision was made.
Liria wondered if they only compromised when people with blue lights gathered.
Finally, Hong Jihye, who learned about Liria late, agreed to sit next to her and in front.
Silvia understood them.
If she had to sit under those conditions, she would have wanted to sit next to or in front.
“I am looking forward to the steak. Silvia unnie.”
“Yes. I am looking forward to it.”
Silvia was extremely curious how much steak would differ from Selenia’s meat.
