Chapter 1

The once-quiet town of Aston used to be known for its grey and gloomy appearance, with old buildings lining its streets and reflecting the slow pace of life in a small town. However, an antique café at the corner of the street brought about a change, revitalizing the nearly doomed town and bringing new life to its streets. Lucy's Magic Café was always busy, even during the weekdays, as people flocked to the establishment and formed a never-ending line outside its doors. This had a significant impact on the town's economy, as visitors provided a steady stream of income for its residents and made the once-dreary town a thriving hub of activity and a well-known destination.

The café's popularity was due in part to what it offered—rumors spread that the café offered special service—and also to its limitations, as not everyone who visited was able to enjoy a meal or drink inside. Yet, the charm of the town still managed to captivate those who were unable to secure a spot inside Lucy's café, drawing them to explore the town and spend their time and money within its borders. Lucy's establishment made a great impact on the economic life of Aston, and the town thrived as a result.

On this day, just like any other, Lucy was apologizing to the customers who were unable to get inside her café. Despite her unlimited magical power, she was too lazy to use it and instead simply offered a sweet, apologetic smile to those who were turned away. Her youthful appearance and enchanting aura captivated everyone, and they could not protest as they left the café empty-handed.

Lucy was aware of the temporary nature of her newfound charm and intended to make the most of it while it lasted. She was a materialistic witch who valued the smell of money more than any perfume and even slept on a pile of it, despite the aches it caused her. Her cashier machine was always full, and she treated it like a proud mother, admiring the contents of the drawer with a wide smile. The profit from today's sales was as satisfactory as always, and she quickly collected the money from the cashier machine and brought it upstairs to savor her newfound wealth.

As Lucy tended to her finances, Rhine and the rest of the café staff were left to clean up the mess. The towering pile of dirty dishes was assigned to Emi, but only because her friends refused to do it. Emi longed for the magic stone that had been taken from her, as it would have made the task effortless. Without it, however, she would have to wash the dishes manually. If she insisted on using her magic power, it would drain her energy and leave her bedridden for days. Bo and Ervin were busy straightening up the tables and chairs, while two creatures in the corner of the café were engaged in a heated debate. This time, it seemed that Hannah had purposely provoked Leo, leading to another trivial argument.

Can you just let it be? Hannah pointed at the small flower pot next to the entrance door.

Leo picked up the flower pot and put it against the wall, saying, It won’t block the way in this position.

Hannah pulled the flower pot to its first location. No, it is much better if the pot is located here.

Are you seriously doing it? Once again, Leo put the pot against the wall: A customer had tripped over his foot this afternoon.

But it was just one person, Hannah stood up for her argument, no one could see the beauty of the flowers if you put them in that place.

It is much safer here for the flowers. Leo kept his opinion; he did not want to lose to Hannah.

How can you know it? Hannah was curious: Is the plant telling you that?

Of course, I'm a Faeln, a woods guardian, Leo explained to Hannah, touching a flower bud with his finger.

Hannah was mesmerized when she saw a glimmer of light showing up from the tip of Leo’s finger. As if she watched real-time magic before her eyes, the flower bud bloomed in an instant.

You have such a great magic trick, Hannah tried to compliment Leo.

It's not a magic trick, Leo lamented.

Are you going to waste your power? Ervin chimed in, Are you trying to impress that plain human girl?

Hannah felt insulted by Ervin’s words. Ervin was ignoring Hannah, but he recognized Leo's actions as an attempt to persuade a human of his power. You should not waste your power. Ervin emphasized his words; he put his hand on Leo’s shoulder and said, You are the one who could support Rhine when she is in trouble.

Leo nodded. He realized that he had made a mistake. He should not have shown his power to Hannah. It was such a waste. Leo stepped back and moved away from Hannah, followed by Ervin. Being ignored, Hannah was upset; she then kicked the flower pot and hurt her left foot. Holding back the pain, she went to the back to change her uniform. It was already dark outside, and the café had been cleaned up. There was nothing to do. Rhine and the others went upstairs. Hannah had finished changing, and she was left alone. Then she saw the flower pot once again, and she squatted next to it. She wanted to apologize,

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to hurt you. Hannah reached out to one of the flowers and said, I don’t know why I behaved like that.

Hannah stood up. She was ready to go home when someone suddenly rang the bell outside the café. She wondered who came to visit when the café was already closed. Hannah opened up the door; a well-dressed man in a black suit was standing by the door.
