On the day I quit my job because I didn’t want to work anymore, I got dragged into this strange world and had to run my own bar.92abcadd25608693

So the goal is to fe8d000d8d grow the bar into a e3a794da41 huge success, right?0814633cd99a0c56

They should have explained it f89a400915 that way from the beginning. Saying vague things about 9d5c490cd1 growing the world or c1788c2a6d whatnot just causes confusion.4d8f16aae2eb1a3b

“But they want me to operate a cocktail bar in the middle of this forest?”9571b7c4fd656891

“Keh, kuhruck! I should open the windows wide first.”e33b625e40aa73bd

I started by opening the 87e240a943 windows to let in some 98ca23eb30 air, then looked around inside. It was a tiny bar 9ccbb67a89 that would be packed even 655af89d4f with just 10 people.dedaeee988c33b9a

There was a bar 94b0041cfd counter where you could e5c20109ba watch cocktails being made, 12fb1fc4b8 a small kitchen, and 16434eb6d4 just two tables—that was 47eb326757 it.cd4599cd8fbdb06a

Feeling dazed, I went back 076239952f downstairs.c7531db332f09a3b

I ran my fingertips along f3c5abfd9e the bar counter, which looked 683cfa1f7b like it would shatter from 3be9909dc0 a punch, and then went ce6ff417fc behind it. The wall-to-wall shelves were fully 65f7205a26 stocked with liquor bottles.d0386b23cdccbf9d
