<span style="font-weight:400">“Orin, are the equipment done?” The person who said this was Michael. Behind the big man was Keith and Alvin, who were shaking their heads. Orin had told them the equipment would be ready by today. This was startling because it had been a few days since Keith told him about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why are you the one screaming?” Orin red. But that caused Hugo to smack his back, “There are kids here,” Did you forget about that?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Did you finish it, Orin?” Keith was the one who said it this time.
<span style="font-weight:400">Orin grinned, “Of course. We finished it yesterday. Come check it out yourself.” Going to the back, they saw the machines.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We’ve also tested them, so you don’t need to worry about them exploding.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Each one is perfect,” Keith grinned; they were exactly what he wanted for processing the beans. Chocte could be mass-produced now. As he continued to marvel, “There’s also the other thing.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?” There was another thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s the espresso machine,” Alvin answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Really?” You guys finished this as well?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm, here it is,” A giant machine was in the corner.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Uhhh.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Alvin exined, “Yeah, it had to be built much bigger than normal.” For the machine to work, he needed to use a good number of mana wires and heating stones for the water.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What the? How could you guys finish everything so soon?” The chocte equipment to the espresso machine; Keith was startled. The short period they had to finish it was just weird.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course. When you give us an idea, you’re our number one priority.” The boy didn''t know it, but he had always been the priority since he had always had interesting ideas.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…You guys just want chocte and espresso, right?” Keith blurted.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Hugo and the other workers looked away, not daring to look the man straight in the eyes. That was most certainly a yes. They had worked day and night to get everything done. They switched out to get the other some time to rest.
<span style="font-weight:400">Michael grinned, “You guys made another one, didn’t you?” If they made the machine so soon, they should have another one.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We have it in the break room,” Hugo grinned. Orin and the other workers had built two based on Alvin’s design. Now, they couldn’t live without a cup before work.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Of course.” Keith shook his head, “So let’s bring this back home.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Put it in your storage this time,” Alvin chimed. From what he heard from Michael, it was quite a tiresome day.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I-” Keith was prepared. That day was burned in everyone’s mind; he and Michael had to pull the damn oven home, which was tiresome.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“No need.” Michael grinned, “I’ve trained for this very moment."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Huh?” What do you mean you trained for this very moment?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I need to redeem myself for what had happened before.” Keith wasn’t the only one who had a ck stain. The thought of it had been on his mind for quite some time now.
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Whatever you’re thinking, don’t do it.” Something bad would happen in a few seconds. But it was toote.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Dammit,” A groan came out of his mouth as he stared at him. You have got to be kidding me?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha! Look at me now! These things got nothing on me!” Michael roared triumph as he walked down the streets. But that only caused Alvin to mutter, “Just walk a few steps behind him.” He didn’t want to be associated with this person right here. It would be too damn embarrassing.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">The number of people staring was quite high. And why shouldn’t they? You have themander of the Freed Knights waving such a gigantic tool like an idiot.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yeah, no one wanted to be close to that.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you guys doing sitting behind there?! Get moving forward.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Dammit! Why did he have to call out our names like that?! This was asking for trouble. People started to turn to them, and the two looked away. But one kid shouted, “Young Master Keith! Hello!” He had recognized the ck-haired man.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Keith waved his hand, “Hello.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s go there quickly before everyone starts rumors,” Alvin groaned, and Keith agreed. There was still one ce they needed to go before bringing that espresso machine home.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Francis, woah, this looks absolutely incredible,” He couldn’t believe it. How could these guys be moving at such a high pace like this? The inside of the chocte store was quite incredible. There was a rich dark brown like milk chocte. To offset the main color, there was light mint and pink color. It was quite a bnce of colors together.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you think about it, Keith?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It looks so incredible.” To make something like this in a few days was just incredible. And that wasn’t even the finished product!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you. Also, what do you want the signature to be?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Signature?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, like something that the customers could look at and know it’s that. I even made a personal shelf just for the signature item. There was a giant white shelf on the side. He nned to make a custom sign and alter the shelf for it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…I need to think about it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. But please tell me when you have it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, I came here with the equipment. Walter, are you guys alright with doing double duty?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm! We are, Boss!” Walter and the other beastmen were helping construct the store’s inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll teach you guys how to do it step by step. You’ve been fermenting the beans like I’ve asked, right?” Fermenting the beans was the thing that had taken most of the time.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” Walter and the other beastmen nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. The first step will be…” Keith started to talk to them about the process of making chocte. And once they got the hang of it,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You guys got it?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmmm.” The beastmen nodded,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then I will teach some of you how to make caramel and simple candies as well.” Carmel was simple enough, and the creation of orange and lemon candy was also good. Keith grinned as he taught them a few recipes.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good, I will leave you guys to make it. Do make me proud.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Understood! Boss!” Walter and the beastman nodded.
