Chapter 67

──5,000G will be deducted from your current Glory.

──Current Glory: 5,500G

──A "Letter of Fortune" has arrived. Would you like to read it?

‘Really?’

I nodded.

Behind the blue Seoul Forest, a translucent string of text appeared.

A conversation between two people was visible.

『We still have 10 minutes until 2, right? Let's take a short break.』

『Oh, come in quickly and sit down, miss. I've already turned on the air conditioning.』

『Phew... It's so cool. I feel like I can live now.』

『Would you like some cold water?』

『Give it to me quickly.』

And at the same time, I heard it.

As if playing a recording in my head.

Their voices, the sound of the car air conditioning, and the sound of opening a water bottle cap were all vividly heard.

I could tell who this "miss" was.

How could I forget that voice? She was the one who led the attack on our cafe in Weihado.

‘Lim Hee-ju!’

The gentle male voice sounded like Lim Hee-ju's road manager.

『But what are we going to do in July? This is no ordinary hardship.』

『What can we do? You don't know because you just joined this year. This miss always spends her summers like this. But the older she gets, the more exhausted she feels.』

『What are you talking about, miss! You're still young and beautiful! I'll take care of you to the best of my ability!』

『Haha... Thanks.』

『Should I talk to the PD about it?』

『What do you mean?』

『To adjust the July shooting schedule. It's really dangerous for the seniors to shoot in the scorching sun.』

『Go on. They take good care of us.』

『Or should I ask for an ice cream truck?』

『Young-pil, this is a person who doesn't even eat white rice to stay healthy. Do you think she'll eat ice cream?』

『That's true... Then, what about a coffee truck? A nice cold Americano! It would be great.』

『People's tastes are usually picky. If you bring something cheap, they'll just complain.』

『...Is that so?』

『Forget the coffee truck. I want to drink the coffee my daughter makes. It's really the best...』

That was it.

The text and the voices all disappeared.

‘This... is the Letter of Fortune?’

The memorable part of the conversation was about missing Amuse Coffee and the coffee truck.

‘Amuse? Coffee truck?’

Does Lim Hee-ju bring good luck when she comes to Amuse? Or will good luck come if I bring a coffee truck?

I'm not sure, but...

Lim Hee-ju is someone who brings good luck.

But first, I need to verify.

Whether this conversation is real or fake.

If it's real, whether it's happening now, in the past, or in the future.

‘This level of deduction is a piece of cake.’

I, Shin Yu-won.

A man with deduction skills on par with Sherlock.

All the pieces fell into place instantly.

...I'll ask Lim Su-jeong!

[ Boss! ]

"Su-jeong, is it okay to talk now? Are you not busy?"

[ Yes, it's fine. It's lunchtime now. ]

She said there were few customers just before lunchtime. I asked Lim Su-jeong without hesitation.

"About your mother. Is there a manager named Young-pil among her managers?"

[ Oh, yes. How did you know? ]

Shivers.

If it's true, why am I scared?

"Ahaha... I see. By the way, has your mother mentioned a coffee truck recently?"

[ Wow... Boss, you're amazing. ]

The moment Lim Su-jeong said "amazing,"

I got goosebumps, and my arms were covered in goosebumps.

I felt like I was a shaman or a prophet.

[ She asked me yesterday. Does this boss not serve coffee trucks? ]

Yesterday? Was it a past conversation?

Then it's not a prediction.

"Yesterday? She said that?"

[ Yes, it was over 30 degrees and very hot yesterday. So, she called and said she was thinking of our coffee. It was around 2 PM, and we talked about the coffee truck. ]

2 PM, that's right.

The time mentioned in the "Letter of Fortune" was around then.

"Ah... I see."

[ Did my mother contact you? ]

"No, not that."

I paused for a moment and then said,

"I'm grateful that your mother visited us on the grand opening day. I thought about sending a coffee truck. What do you think?"

There was no need to overthink it.

If the opportunity presented itself, I would act.

Letter of Fortune, I'm counting on you!

[ Wow, really? ]

"Yes, that's why I asked."

[ Wow, I'll ask my mother! ]

"Thank you."

[ Then, Boss, will you find a separate company? Or will we go? ]

"Hmm."

I still don't know why it's "fortune," but...

Of course, we should go.

Our coffee is the best.

"If your mother says it's okay, I'll go myself. I'll rent a food truck."

[ Wow! Can I go too? ]

"Then, will I go alone?"

[ Amazing! I'll definitely make you a maid! ]

"Sure. Let's discuss the date and let me know. Give it some time. I need to arrange the food truck, so it won't be immediate."

[ Okay, I understand! ]

I ended the call.

I had a good feeling.

‘Letter of Fortune, this is interesting.’

It was a great find!

The "Letter of Fortune" seemed to be an item worth 5,000 Glory. Without it, I would never have known that Lim Hee-ju needed a coffee truck.

After that, it was 12:06.

It was time for the shop to refresh.

I was very curious about what would appear in the 12 PM shop.

‘Please, an English pack! Or another Letter of Fortune!’

With a pounding heart, I opened the "Glory Shop."

And I immediately found something.

Something that didn't feel good at all.

──────────

《Glory Shop》 ─Current Glory: 6,500G

◇ Letter of Misfortune: 5,000G

──────────

“Letter of Misfortune.”

I could easily guess what kind of item it was.

That's why it was even more frightening.

──Do you want to purchase the "Letter of Misfortune (5,000G)"?

Without hesitation, I bought it, read it, and listened to it.

Then I immediately rushed to the Shinchon branch.

A diagnosis report with 0% error rate

I got out of the car and quickly walked to the Shinchon branch.

I called Yoo Jin, without even asking how she was.

"Are you busy now?"

[ No, I'm on my way to lunch. Why? ]

"I have a question. Is coffee good or bad for someone with heart problems?"

[ Why suddenly? Are you in pain? ]

Yoo Jin's specialty wasn't cardiology.

But who else could I ask? Yoo Jin was the only person I could immediately ask and get an opinion from.

"No, not me. Anyway, what do you think?"

[ It depends on the type of heart problem. ]

"Her heart is pounding really hard, she feels short of breath, and it feels like her heart is being squeezed. That kind of thing."

I told her what I had read in the "Letter of Misfortune."

[ That sounds like symptoms of arrhythmia. Who is it? ]

"Isn't arrhythmia very dangerous?"

[ Yes, if it happens frequently, you should go to the hospital and get a check-up right away! ]

"Got it. But what about coffee? Is coffee good for arrhythmia?"

[ Moderate caffeine can be good for arrhythmia, according to many studies. But too much is never good. If the symptoms are severe, it's better not to drink it. ]

"Ah, got it. Thanks."

[ Do you know someone? If it's serious, take them to the hospital right away! ]

I could hear the worry in Yoo Jin's voice, as if she was afraid I might try to treat them myself.

"Sure, I will. Don't worry too much. I'll send you lunch money, so enjoy your meal."

[ Lunch money? ]

I ended the call, transferred 1 million won to Yoo Jin, and entered the Shinchon branch.

A cold blast of air conditioning hit my nose.

"Boss, hello!"

"Hello."

I quickly replied to the greeting from the new employee, Park Jung-ho, and went to the temperature control panel. I raised the temperature by 3 degrees.

"I'll set it to 26 degrees from now on."

Park Jung-ho, who had been watching, said to me, but I shook my head.

"No, just for today."

I looked around the shop.

There were few customers at lunchtime.

One customer waiting for a takeaway.

One customer sitting by the window, working on a laptop.

Choi Pil-su was not visible, probably in the back room, and Lim Su-jeong was making coffee.

I went behind the bar, and Lim Su-jeong, surprised, said,

"Wow
