Chapter 5
I go with Silv in the basement to talk about what we heard at the bar today with the group.
"Thee didst a valorous job thee two. Err, I mean that thee did the most wundorful job!"
Is she trying to make herself more understandable? I still have some problem but it's still something.
"I am proud of what we accomplished! The new member and I really found one of the seven mysteries!" said Silv with a lot of enthusiasm.
"I'm pretty sure it's not one of them, it has nothing to do with Yuki I think."
"So thee shalt ignore this ordeal?" She's really getting better now, I can understand her this time.
"No, I still need to investigate. As a barmaid, I can't let the coffee taste bad."
"Very well, I shalt make myself your loyal partn'r this timeth!" I guess it's not easy to change our way to speak.
"So you'll come with me?"
"Indeed! And Sofia shall cometh with us!" I see Sofia looking panicked when Iris said those words. I remember that she was the shy girl, she hasn't even talked to me.
Iris took her wheeling chair and brought Sofia with her, despite her clearly being against.
I follow them with Yuki until they stop at the bar.
"Is yond the ending of our journey?"
"No, it's the bar."
"I am not no more brain than stone, i knoweth what is't. Wherefore thee not knoweth t already? thee can seeth i useth a complex dialect and a deep f'rm of charm!"
I'll act like I understood but I didn't. I look at Yuki's direction, and she seems as confused as me.
"The coffee of the bar has no problem, I tasted it like every morning. I think the rumors talk about the coffee machine."
We all go in the direction of the coffee machine, I buy a cup for everyone.
"How did that cup disappeared!?" She screamed as she pointed Yuki. She can't see what Yuki is holding? It must have surprised her a lot, since she dropped her old English.
"It's just Yuki, don't worry"
"Thou has bringeth the apparition here?" She seems really concerned, is she scared of ghost?
I was about to answer her, but the taste of coffee made me stop, it's the worst coffee I ever tasted. Not only is it very badly taken care of, but it's also very old. There's also a bad coffee powder for water ratio, there's too much caffeine in it.
"Whoever did this coffee don't deserve to be a barista."
"Big sis, it's too bitter for me." It's true that coffee isn't really made for a kid.
When I look at Sofia and Iris they don't enjoy it either, but I don't know if they just don't like coffee, or it's because it's a bad coffee.
"We need to solve this." I can't let people have a bad coffee. I'll solve this mystery, even if it has nothing to do with Yuki.
"I should inspect the coffee, but I need a key to open the machine."
Sofia pull my sleeve and write something in her notebook.
I know where the keys are. That's what she wrote.
"Okay, we'll follow you." We followed Sofia, and she brings us in front of Mr. Chieftain office.
I guess I have to talk with him, even if I don't like it.
"Wait for me outside." Now that I look at them, I see that Yuki is missing, I'm worried about her but I'll search for her after.
I knock on the door of the office, I hear his deep voice telling me to enter.
"What is it, Clara? I'm busy, and aren't you supposed to be home?"
He's really intimidating but I need to get this key.
"As you know, I'm the barmaid of this hospital, so I need to be assured that the drinks here in this establishment are up to code. But the coffee machine is giving a bad coffee. I can't let that ruin our reputations!"
"And? Why should I care about a bad coffee? They just need to stop drinking bad things."
"I'm sorry but I don't agree. All beverages have something to offer, it's my duty that everyone can experience the best drink possible. Especially in a hospital!"
I don't know where this energy I have come from. I just want everyone to experience a good coffee.
"I don't have time, energy or money to lose with these childish troubles."
"It's not childish, Just give me the key, I'll take care of everything."
He sights and throw the keys at me.
"Just put them back here when you're finished."
"Thanks Mr.chieftain."
I go out to find Iris and Sofia, they clap at me. I mean, he was scary, so I deserve it.
We go back to the machine and I see Yuki standing there.
"Yuki? Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry... I didn't break it... I swear." She doesn't seem good, is it because of the machine.
I open it and check everything inside, everything seem to work properly.
"It's not broken at all."
"It's not?" Yuki seem surprised at this information.
"dids't the apparition haunted it?"
"No, Yuki didn't do anything to it."
"But I broke it, and the coffee tasted bad. I remember it!" She did it before? It's the second time that something she did would happen again, if it's true.
"But the machine isn't broken this time."
"I wanted to see the machine's inside. So I opened it and I touched it too much, I closed it so nobody would know, but the doctor saw me."
This doctor again. If only I had this doctor's name, I could try to find him.
"So he repaired the machine?"
"No, he said he would keep the secret and that I wouldn't be in trouble. But someone had a heart attack because the machine did something bad."
My guess is that the machine dosed the coffee badly, since he drank too much caffeine he had a heart attack. But this time the machine isn't broken.
Sofia wrote "Why does the cofy taste bad?" on her notebook. She made a mistake on it, it's pretty cute.
"I suppose it's the coffee itself." When I check the coffee powder, I can't help but gasp.
There's spice mixed in the coffee! That's a sacrilege! I remove the bad coffee and place a clean coffee powder. It doesn't seem like a mistake, someone did that on purpose, but why? Were they trying to imitate Yuki's mistake?
"Thou hast solved yet another mystery!" Did I? I learned that it's linked with Yuki but I still don't know why.
"Everything is fine now Yuki." I turn to her to reassure her but she still seems perplexed by something.
"Are you okay?"
"Lucie felt bad that we broke the machine, and she stayed in her room all day after seeing the old man having a heart attack."
Lucie? I get a headache after hearing that name.
"Who's Lucie? You know her?" Yuki seems in pain and hold her head, whoever Lucie is, she doesn't remember much.
"I don't know. She was like my sister but I can't remember her."
I hold her to make her feel better, but I also do it for me. I know Lucie but I can't remember her. How could we both know the same person?
After a while we both feel better, when I turn around I see two gazes on us.
"Don't say anything."
"I didn't did plan to, I gage."
Sofia looks on the ground, like to gesture that she saws nothing.
I go to the group and explain everything that happened. I can't remember what I said, I was too focused on who messed with the coffee and Lucie.
