Chapter 1

Lucy's Magical Café took on a different feel after Lucy's departure. Even though the café maintained its usual bustling atmosphere, with customers forming daily lines outside, the delectable cakes and fancy drinks consistently sold out. However, Lucy's absence weighed on the spirits of the café's crew. They continued to serve and work as they always had, but felt that something essential was missing. Since Lucy ventured to Magiaplana, Rhine handled the cash register, while Emi and Hannah were responsible for food and drinks. The Faeln boys, the café's main attraction, became waiters, just as they had been.

Hannah squeezed a dirty napkin between her hands, her expression tinged with concern. Yet she managed to speak in a cheerful tone, saying, You're right. Lucy won't stay away from her money for long.

Rhine recognized the conversation's awkwardness but could not dismiss Hannah's persistent inquiries about Lucy in recent days. After she had collected all the money and secured
