Chapter 2496: Company and Exclusive Brush
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Although it wasnt my original objective, since Id managed to get my hands on a coffee maker, I figured I might as well buy some coffee beans on the way back too.To be honest, I dont really know much about coffee well, its not like I know much about tea either Since I had no idea which beans to choose, I decided this was a case where I should ask someone who actually knows coffee.
With that in mind, I headed to Elise-sans shop. Checking the sign on the door, it read Open. At Elise-sans place, once a group of customers enters, the front sign automatically switches to Closed, so with the current state, there was no problem.
[Hello.]
[Its Human-san. You really do always show up at the exact moment when the flow of customers stops. In my mind, the Human-san is a stalker suspicion has gained another level of credibility.]
[Please stop with those outrageous misunderstandings.]
[Well, dont just stand there, come over here and sit down. I dont think you came for a fortune-telling session, so what do you need?]
Her tone sounded slightly exasperated, but this was basically Elise-sans default. She invited me to sit and listened normally, so it wasnt like she was treating me coldly.
In fact, given Elise-sans personality, if it were inconvenient, shed probably just tell me to go home outright. If she was willing to hear me out, that meant things were fine.
[Actually, something came up, and I bought a magic tool for brewing coffee. So I was hoping Elise-san, who knows a lot about coffee, could recommend some good coffee beans or something]
[A magic tool for brewing coffee? If youre looking for beans, does that mean its the type that grinds the beans and brews them?]
[Yeah. Sorry to put this on your table for a moment. This is it.]
[This is You managed to buy this? Ah, well, if its Human-san, you can probably buy things through all sorts of special routes.]
When she saw the magic tool I took out, Elise-san wore a slightly surprised expression, which was rare for her. If she reacted like this, did that mean it was a fairly hard-to-obtain magic tool?
[Is it that hard to buy?]
[Well, more like, this just came out five days ago, its the latest model. On top of that, its made-to-order only, and theyre limiting the number of orders, so at this stage you cant buy it without connections. For high-quality made-to-order magic tools like this, the order restrictions usually get relaxed a few months after release, making them easier to buy.]
[Hehh, I see Well, I happened to buy it from a special advisor at the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company]
[How many people in the world do you think can purchase directly from there You really are the same as always, Human-san. In a way, thats reassuring.]
Muttering with a fed-up look, Elise-san still examined the coffee maker magic tool with obvious interest.
[Actually, I was debating whether to buy this myself.]
[Eh? You, Elise-san, buying a magic tool that brews coffee automatically?]
Since Elise-san even roasts her own beans and seems particular about grinding and brewing, the idea that shed buy a fully automatic magic tool was unexpected.
[Well, I wouldnt use it regularly. I just wanted to try it once. This latest model is advertised as being able to brew quite authentic coffee, and since the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company is selling it as a fully made-to-order product I wanted to know just how good it actually tastes. But I was hesitant to buy such an expensive magic tool when I didnt plan to use it all the time.]
[Ah, I get what you mean Then, since were here anyway, want to try brewing some coffee with this and have a taste? Though I literally just bought it, so I dont have anything besides the magic tool]
[Is that okay? Then Id love to try it. Ill prepare the coffee beans and filters.]
As a coffee lover, clearly very curious about how good the latest coffee maker could be, Elise-san immediately accepted my suggestion and promptly brought over coffee beans, filters, and coffee cups.
Seeing how interested she was, I quickly set the beans she brought into the machine and tried using it.
[I see, it can even adjust the grind size to some extent, even if its a bit rough. This really raises my expectations. Human-san actually does something nice once in a while. As a thank-you, Ill prepare some cake too. You should eat some.]
[Thank you.]
She really does seem to love coffee. Elise-san, unusually high-spirited, brought over some cake and set it in front of me.
While we were doing that, the coffee finished brewing, so we poured it into cups and tried it right away. The aroma was good and the taste was nice but since I couldnt really tell the finer details, I decided to watch Elise-sans reaction instead.
Elise-san took a sip of the coffee and nodded with an impressed expression.
[This is quite something. Even for someone as picky about coffee as me, it tastes reasonably good. Of course, when I brew it myself, I can fine-tune things more and the flavor is better but for a fully automatic machine to produce this level of taste is impressive. Its better than the coffee at some mediocre cafes or coffee shops. You can really feel the progress of technology.]
[Speaking of which, it seems it can also make espresso.]
[Espresso too? I suppose it can grind extremely fine, and if it applies pressure with magic, then espresso as well Its amazing that this one machine can do so many things. Im impressed.]
Watching Elise-san sip her coffee with a faintly cheerful air, I enjoyed my own coffee as well, eating the cake she had prepared that paired perfectly with it.
? ? ? : [By the way, Elise doesnt really like cake, so its highly likely she originally prepared that cake for Kaito-san.]
