Isekai-Cafe Terrace.

Isekai-Cafe Terrace.

It was an old store with an interesting architectural layout, situated in a remote area at the edge of the suburbs and only a few meters from the seashore.

Once upon a time, stories of paranormal activity and strange rumors proliferated like wildfire.

However, upon further investigation, nothing unusual was discovered, confirming that the area was simply an old town home to wealthy elderly residents.

"Grandma! I am back." It had been a long time since he had come back.

The old cafe still stood silent as if waiting for him to come back with no dirt or dust around the corner, being taken care of by someone till this point.

"I will have to thank the neighbour, I guess." A young man in his twenties with a dark circle under his eyes observed the cafe and felt a small sense of gratitude for the staff who had been looking after it for him for the previous five years.

'I am sorry, grandma; it took me long enough!' As tears dropped from his eyes, Kai touched the cafe plate name and felt a burst of anger before unlocking the door.

[Bloodline Reaction: Established.]

He thought he heard someone say something, but when he looked around, he saw no one nearby, and he thought that the soldier training was driving him insane.

'It was because of her wish that I was forced to train for five years in that regime, but you should have waited for me before leaving this world.'

Kai whispered to himself as he studied the picture of his elderly grandmother on the wall.

Only a few days had passed since he was informed that his grandmother had passed away, leaving him with just one cafe key.

"Plus, in which century do you live to leave a letter? for me." Kai touched the letter he had not yet opened, thinking in silence about the kind of life his grandmother had. He then smiled and took out his handkerchief to dust the faintest bit of dust off her picture.

'Don't worry! My cooking skills has evolved and I will be able to open this store without any hesitation; after all, I am the proud genius disciple of yours.'

Since Kai's elderly grandmother has always praised him for his superb cooking abilities, he did everything in his power to win her approval through his diligence, and in the end, he succeeded in learning how to prepare every meal at such a young age.

"I was hoping that you would taste them soon enough, but I guess this is also fate." With a faint smile, he opened the light in the cafe again and looked at the time.

"I guess! I will reopen it tomorrow." By now it was 9 p.m., and Kai knew he should probably deal with other matters the following morning, even though he might first need to re-acquire the contract for the cafe's food supply. He also realized that it was getting pretty late.

[Supply of Raw Material has been connected.]

Back in his room, Kai this time clearly heard that voice, but he was not sure what it was and could only feel that his mind was clearly going wrong.

After all, before this, he was really thinking about the food chain and all that.

'It might be due to sleep depravation, but I would like to add a new menu that I created too.'

That night was a bit cold, but with the excitement of opening the shop again, just like she did in her life, Kai could find the energy and enthusiasm back again as he slept soundly that night.

Chirp! Chirp!

Next morning!

Because of the physical reaction that his soldier training had instilled in him, Kai woke up earlier than usual. Although the sun had not risen yet, a few birds appeared to be awake and had begun to fly around.

'I guess I will take a run around the vicinity a little.'

Kai used to frequently visit and play in this area when he was younger, but the familiar layout of the city has changed, so he was considering making a tour to get to know the locals.

"Let's take a walk then..." Redressing, he put on some jogging clothes that a friend of his—who had played a significant role in his life—had first prepared for him. The cap from that day still hangs around with him.

'Is he here.' Kai shook his head, thinking that, at eighteen, everyone his age would have either graduated from high school or gone off to college, which is what is considered normal.

'Hah! Hah!' When Kai was running, he appeared to be very focused on controlling his breathing rhythm and maintaining a straight posture to naturally stress the muscles in his body for maximum output.

'Hmm, it is quite bustling for an old town.' Reaching a parkside, Kai was surprised to see many old guys chatting and laughing at this time period, as they all stretched their bodies and were practicing yoga.

"Hello there, young man." Another old man walked by his side and spoke to him out of nowhere.

"Yes, hello, senior!" Taken by surprise, Kai replied in a hurry, causing the older man to smile as he nodded and moved in the direction of the other group, at which point everyone turned to smile politely at him before they began to argue.

"Yee!" As he turned around, Kai nearly ran into someone and realized that the woman in front of him had suddenly shifted, nearly tripped, and moved to offer her assistance.

"Sorry, are you alright?" The girl gave him a somewhat painful smile and removed her hat to give him a better look. Kai realized the girl was about his age and had a very slim build.

"It Okiee! Help me up, buddy!" She looked rather okay, plus it did not look like she was going to put blame on him, so Kai held her hand and pulled up, causing her tied hair to open, and looking straight up close, he also realized how the girl had chestnut-colored eyes like her hair.

"Thanks, then see ya! around." She spoke as she gave him a glance before running away, leaving Kai standing as he continued to look at her for a long time.

'Sure, let's meet somewhere again; if she comes to cafe, I will give her a discount as an apology!' He muttered within his breath before he started to walk back to the cafe again.

"Let's hurry up a little." Picking up the broom, Kai first walked toward the kitchen when something sudden and crystal blue flashed in front of his retina, almost giving him a scare. "Shit, a ghost!" He almost cursed, only to find that there was no response from the other side.

"What the hell is this thing?" "Isekai-Cafe Terrace System." For some reason, he was able to read that strange language, and he began to remember that her grandmother used to tell stories about some strange system, but he never paid much attention to them.

"Is this even possible, or should I visit a psychiatric or mental hospital?" He was muttering all of that, but the blue screen was silent, and the left hand displayed only three options that would work. "It is not conscious, I guess. That is on the premise that I have not turned into a complete idiot at the moment."

He was stunned. Yes! When he opened the storage, he discovered that it was stocked with excellent ingredients that her grandmother had been hiding from all of her customers for a long time but had not yet used.

"This is really weird, but let's say what she tends to say is true; then this hotel might have guests not from Earth!" Beside, Kai saw a small setting option beside the kitchen, and there he found a convenient option to clean the whole cafe in an instant, which was set out there for free.

"This option will be convenient." He laughed.

'Hmm! A thief...' Because Kai had received extensive training in harsh environments, he had developed a keen sense that goes beyond what a normal human would.

As a result, he may have sensed something approaching, and his alert senses had already detected the presence of a living person on the other side of the staff room. To ensure that the other party would not be alerted, he moved silently toward the room.

"Someone must have started sneaking into the cafe because the grandmother was not there, but this cafe system does not have a security option either!" Kai reasoned that a system ought to have a security feature if it is truly capable of bridging two distinct worlds.

"Who is there?" Being the owner of the cafe, Kai had complete control over the door and could easily open and lock it. The system was designed to ensure that he could access anything.

But what he discovered was that there was a gorgeous woman with blond hair who was taking off her regular clothes, exposing her entire mound, and jiggling as a result of taking off her top. Her blush-covered face was covering her eyes as she stared at Kai.

"Master! I am changing; please wait outside." The girl covered her mound, abashed, and mumbled a few words as the voice of the system rang inside her head.
