Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"The coffee smells so good, I can smell it from upstairs."

"But there are no customers in the shop, so why are you making coffee?"

Shiro explained, "I'm still not very familiar with the coffee in the shop, so I'm asking Mr. Shiina for advice."

"Haha, Kamishiro-kun, you're the boss now, I've already stepped down." Shiina Hirosuke gently stroked the stubble on his face, looking at Nagasawa Yui with interest and suggesting, "Why don't you try these two cups of coffee and see what the difference is?"

"Sure, I've drunk a lot of coffee, so let me try how Kamishiro-kun makes it."

Yui Nagasawa smiled and sat down on the bench at the bar, then placed the small bag she was carrying on the table.

She looked at the two cups of coffee in front of her and asked curiously:

"Which cup is for Kamishiro-kun?"

After pushing the double coffee in front of Nagasawa Yui, Shiina Hirosuke pointed to the cup on his left.

"The one on the left is for Kamishiro-kun, and the one on the right is for me."

“Okay, let me try the coffee made by the old boss first.” Nagasawa Yui tasted the coffee on the right first, took a small sip, and savored it carefully.

very common.

I assume the mixing technique is correct.

Then it must be a problem with the coffee beans and roasting process.

It wasn't particularly delicious.

But it's not exactly bad.

It can only be said that the taste and price are indeed in line with the store's situation.

It's the kind of affordable coffee shop that students and office workers go to after school.

Yui Nagasawa has drunk a lot of coffee, and she could tell the general level of quality from just one sip.

But she didn't reveal her true thoughts; she simply nodded and smiled.

"not bad."

"Then let me try Kamishiro-kun's next."

Nagasawa Yui held her coffee but didn't drink it. She just put it to her lips and squinted at Kamishiro-kun as the corners of his mouth began to turn up slightly.

Shiro Shiro rolled her eyes at her and retorted, "Just drink it, why are you staring at me like that?"

"After all, Kamishiro-kun is preparing to open a shop. If the drinks aren't good, there won't be any repeat customers. I'm worried that you, this young and ambitious man, might end up in debt at this point."

"Still worried about me? I guess you got what you wanted!"

"Hmph, don't try to guess what a woman is thinking."

Yui Nagasawa smiled and then looked at the coffee in her hand.

at this time.

The aroma of coffee and milk wafted towards me.

Just smelling the aroma made her feel more energetic.

Yui Nagasawa silently complained to herself.

How is this going?

Why does this coffee that Kamishiro-kun made smell so much better than the one made by the old boss?

Could it be that they used the same beans?

Yui Nagasawa asked in confusion, "Kamishiro-kun, is the coffee you made the same type of coffee as the one the shop owner made, using the same coffee beans?"

"Yes, that's right." Shiro Shiro nodded.

"Is that so?" After hearing this, Nagasawa Yui recalled the taste of the coffee her boss had just made and no longer had high expectations for Bai Feng's coffee.

She casually took a sip of her coffee.

In an instant!

A delicious blend of coffee and milk, unlike anything she had ever experienced before, burst forth in her mouth!

The rich, sweet aroma is accompanied by a hint of coffee bitterness.

Two completely different flavors, yet they blend together perfectly.

The wonderful taste made Yui Nagasawa close her eyes and begin to enjoy it.

But when she realized what was happening, Yui Nagasawa's eyes widened and she couldn't help but cover her cherry-red lips with her hand.

Delicious!

This tastes so good!

What's going on?

Didn't they say they used the same type of coffee beans?

Don't even mention that it tastes better than what the old owner made.

Even the expensive coffee shops she used to drink at weren't as good as the one Kamishiro-kun made!

Shiina Hirosuke asked curiously:

"So, beautiful lady, which one do you think tastes better?"

After a moment of silence, Nagasawa Yui did not reply immediately, but instead asked again:

"So, are the ingredients for these two cups of coffee the same?"

Hirosuke Shiina nodded and said:

"They're the same."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." After hearing this, Yui Nagasawa thought that the two of them must have had different methods and details in making it.

That's why the coffee flavor is so strong?

She had heard before that the same coffee could taste very different depending on who made it.

That's probably the situation now.

However, isn't the taste a bit too different?

ummm

Nagasawa Yui suddenly remembered what Kamishiro-kun had said about having a talent for cooking. Could this be it?

No, no, how could this be?

It's probably because I haven't had coffee in a while that I've forgotten what those high-end coffee shops taste like.

Yes, that should be it!

Looking at the two cups of coffee in front of her, Yui Nagasawa pondered for a moment before choosing to go against her conscience and pointing to the coffee on the right.

"This one tastes better."

Hirosuke Shiina patted Shirafumi's shoulder with a hint of pride and laughed:

"Haha, don't be discouraged, Kamishiro-kun."

"It's already quite impressive that you could make coffee like this on your first try."

"However, your attention to detail is still lacking."

"But it's okay, if you keep at it, you'll be able to make it taste just as good as mine."

Yui Nagasawa was delighted to see her former boss so happy.

I really can't bear to say that Kamishiro-kun's first attempt tasted much better than yours.

Jingle bell bell~

The bell on the door of the coffee shop jingled.

Shiro Shiro turned his head and looked over.

Kana Kawai was wearing a fitted office lady outfit, with the slightly open collar of her shirt highlighting her long neck.

Her facial features were clearly defined, with a three-dimensional yet soft contour, and a slightly upturned mouth revealed a hint of confidence.

Her eyes are bright and expressive, revealing intelligence and decisiveness, and giving people a sense of approachability and trustworthiness.

"Shiina-san, who are you subletting to?"

Kana Kawai, carrying her briefcase, looked at the people present and asked with some curiosity.

Shiina Hirosuke pointed to Kamishiro Hakufu beside him:

"Kawai-san is here. This handsome young man is the one who will be signing the contract later."

Kana Kawai turned to look at Bai Feng.

After noticing Bai Feng's good looks, she couldn't help but feel a momentary sense of suffocation.

I just wondered if this person was some kind of celebrity.

They're so good-looking!

It seems that among all the male celebrities she's ever seen, there are very few who can compare.

and many more!

Kawai Kana suddenly looked at Bai Feng and felt a sense of familiarity.

After thinking for a while, she immediately remembered that this person was the private Shujin student who had appeared on TV Tokyo before.

She also remembered that this person worked at Ichiran Ramen.

Why are you here now? Are you planning to take on this hot potato?
