Hello there, cute waitress-chan

 

[Litreara]

Yeah, I’m gonna need some black coffee with no sugar after this chapter… way too sweet.

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[razorshaleh]

sorry, kid, Kouki is only for Akira. you can't beat her

thank you for translating

 

[BadEnding]

I had that type of coffee once as a child, but personally I didn't find it undrinkable, it just didn't taste good. It was bitter, but you can drink it if you like it, I guessed at that time XD

 

[pulsary]

I hate that child

 

[Mangamoz]

Where's Goblin Slayer when you need him.

 

[Shmeep]

She's a pretty well-balanced brat. I feel like this character type only gets annoying when they actually shift the plot with their whims and she's got a long way to go in that respect.

 

[Kagimizu]

I find the girl actually kind of endearing. She's like one of those little dogs that yaps and barks like she's gonna rip your face off from behind a gate, but ends up being harmless once you get past the posturing. It probably helps that not only is she a complete non-threat, but her attempt at being more adult by drinking coffee is actually a very realistic "child trying to act like an adult" thing.

 

[blablablub]

Thinking being able to drink coffee = adult is such a child like thing to say. Fit for a child like her

 

[WANgue]

For the record - if you end up with iced coffee that has sour notes, something has gone wrong. Good iced black coffee can be strong, bold, maybe bitter, but it should never be sour.

it depends on the coffee beans and the roast grade.
it's not that something went wrong in the process but the type of bean itself has the sour notes

Imitating adults to prove that you are an adult is, in general, a very child thing to do.

 

[Kaito57]

It's funny how the adults treating her as a child (as they should) is completely nullifying her bratty attempts lol

Wish more characters would treat their resident brat that way instead of enabling their behavior !!

it depends on the beans, roasting and method of extraction.

different brewing method produce different notes too. over extraction and too hot can cause over bitterness

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

I like cold mocha coffee.

Sourness usually mean that either the coffee has gone a bit rancid (always bad), is too lightly roasted (almost never encountered in Japan as they prefer darker roasts in general, but even medium roasts should not be downright sour) or it wasn’t ground correctly so the deeper flavors never came out to “flesh out” the coffee.

So yeah, it can be fruity or a bit acidic but it should not be sour, especially if it’s cold brew or a double dose pourover onto ice (which is what good Japanese kissatens will do).

As long as she keeps losing I don't mind her.

Without seeing the raw text and bearing in mind that the description is coming from a child, it's entirely possible she's just describing the acidity, since sourness and acidity use the same kanji.
