Effie slowly turned around, just in time to notice the unreasonably gorgeous proprietor of the Brilliant Emporium falling. Three cups of coffee that he had been carrying on a tray were flying into the air in slow motion.
It seemed that he had tripped.
Without missing a beat, the enigmatic shopkeeper regained his balance with a graceful half-step, extended his hand unhurriedly, and caught all three cups on the tray without spilling a single drop.
A moment later, he smoothly approached the table and placed the cups down, acting as if nothing had happened. Then, the nonchalant young man smiled pleasantly and gave her a respectful bow.
"Saint Athena. Welcome."
Effie found herself unable to speak for a moment.
'D—damn. So cool!'
At the same time, Sunny was nothing short of panicking on the inside.
'What the hell?! No, what the actual hell?! I mean… what the hell?!'
How could she go and say something like that?!
