Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Did something happen?"

Why are you suddenly saying this?

Shiro Kaede briefly explained the situation at the shop next door, and then said:

"That's what it is."

"Sometimes I might go and spend some time in the shop next door."

"However, there may not be any reservations at the moment, and it may not be possible to do it when the time comes."

"Fortunately, there's no rent involved, which is a good thing."

"I think even if no one comes over, it would be nice to go next door to make working meals, desserts, bread, cakes and the like. They have a lot of tools there."

Shiro Shiro knew that although he had acquired a new storefront, he was already very busy, so he planned to lighten his workload.

I'm thinking of raising prices and doing high-end customization later.

At least 300,000 yen per person.

If no one orders food, then we might as well not open the shop.

After all, his Chef King level is already LV5. If he's still only charging a few thousand yen, it wouldn't be worthy of his Chef King title!

But if he only charges 10,000 or 20,000 yen per person, he feels it's not very meaningful.

If it's 20,000 yen per person.

Those ten would only cost 200,000 yen.

Moreover, customization itself requires much more thought and effort than running a regular coffee shop or restaurant.

It will probably take quite a bit of time to help all ten people.

With this time, he could only earn 200,000 yen a day, which would amount to 6 million yen a month. Shiro Kaede felt that he would be better off writing novels or spending more time with his aunt and Erina.

After all, writing novels can earn a lot of money; in a month, it's definitely more than six million yen.

But if we really have to do it.

Then we can only give up on making money from ordinary people and directly make money from the rich!

Because it's easier to make money off the rich!

As long as the taste and appearance are up to par, those people don't think 300,000 yen is a lot of money at all.

This money might not even be as much as their daily allowance.

It's even less than the money spent on in-game purchases.

A rich person will spend money as long as they feel it's worthwhile.

Even if you go to an outrageous and ridiculous level, the rich will still be willing to pay.

But if none of these rich people are stupid and none of them come, then Shiro Kaede won't care.

Anyway, his shop doesn't cost him much rent.

Besides, we never planned to open it in the first place; it's take it or leave it.

Maki Mizuno breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Kamishiro-kun was going to give up on the coffee shop and go do other things, and would basically never come back.

But it turns out he just opened a custom restaurant next door.

Moreover, there are only ten customers a day, so it's estimated that it won't be too busy.

Then it will probably just be the same as before.

When Kamishiro isn't busy writing or running his restaurant, he can go back to the coffee shop on the first floor and chat with them.

Anyway, the shop was right next door, so Mizuno Maki didn't think there was any problem.

Moreover, Kamishiro-kun has always said that the coffee shop's kitchen is a bit small.

He must be very happy to have this kitchen now, right?

Given that Kamishiro-kun's cooking is indeed delicious, perhaps the time for him to truly showcase his abilities is to open a custom restaurant?

However, it's unclear why Director Hojo suddenly gifted a restaurant to Kamishiro.

Maki Mizuno said softly:

"Since you've made up your mind, I support you."

"I will take good care of things at the shop with Ms. Nakata."

"If I encounter something I can't handle, I'll go next door to you right away."

"However, I have a question."

Kamidai Bai Feng asked:

"what is the problem?"

Maki Mizuno looked away, her face slightly flushed.

"I just wanted to ask if you'll come back to the coffee shop if you're done with work over there?"

"Without you, I feel like something's missing."

Jindai Bai Feng smiled and said:

"Yes, there are no guests over there, so there's no point in me staying there."

"And I plan to spend at least 300,000 per guest over there."

"So I think there's a high probability that there won't be any customers, so I basically won't open a shop there."

Mizuno Maki said in astonishment:

Why is it so expensive to set up?

"Wouldn't 10,000 or 20,000 yen per customer be enough?"

Kamidai Bai Feng explained:

"Actually, I didn't really want to open this store."

"Because there are already a lot of things to do."

"Besides, I haven't spent much time with my aunt and sister lately, and I want to spend more time with them."

"So I simply set the price a bit higher. It would be great if customers were willing to come, and I wouldn't mind making some money."

"It doesn't matter if they don't come. I don't have to pay any rent anyway. I'll just leave it there and cook some nice food for Xiao Zuo, Xiao You, Junko, and the people in our literature club."

A ripple of emotion stirred in Mizuno Maki's serene eyes, a hint of joy in her expression. She spoke softly in a voice as clear as a silver bell:

"Ah."

"I think this is pretty good too."

While the two were chatting, they unknowingly arrived at the apartment door.

Mizuno Maki looked at this place with a somewhat surprised expression.

Why are you back so soon today?

She felt she hadn't chatted enough with Kamishiro-kun yet.

"See you tomorrow, Mizuno-san." After saying that, Shiro Kaede prepared to leave and go home.

As Mizuno Maki watched his departing figure, she felt a pang of reluctance, but could only bid him farewell with, "See you tomorrow."

-

Family.

Shiro Shiro pushed open the door and walked in: "I'm back."

"Welcome back." X2

Sato Ayaka, who was in the living room, put down her script and happily ran over. When she saw that Bai Feng was carrying something, she naturally took it from him.

"Auntie will put it in the refrigerator for you."

Divine Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, thank you, Auntie."

Erina Kamishiro peeked her head out from the sofa and muttered:

"Bai Feng, I already know which novel you wrote!"

Kamishiro Shiro asked with great interest:

"Oh?"

Which book is it?

Erina Kamishiro proudly stood up, carrying a book, and grumbled:

"It's this book, 'There's More Than One Truth'!"

When Shiro Shiro heard the book title, he was stunned for a moment. Then he walked over, took the book from Erina's hand, and looked at the title. When he found that the title was indeed "There Is Not Only One Truth," he became somewhat uneasy.

"The title of this book is quite interesting."

Standing on the sofa, Erina Kamishiro put her hands on her hips and giggled:

"Based on my reasoning, of the books currently published by Futaba Publishing House, only two are mystery/suspense novels!"

"So I looked at both books and found that although this one isn't as good as yours, 'White Night Walk,' it's still acceptable. So this must be the one, right?"

"Then I guessed right. Can I ask for my reward now?"

Seeing her expression of complete understanding, Shiro Kaede returned the book to her, unable to suppress a chuckle.

"Let's wait until everyone has announced their answers before we talk about it."

"Otherwise, what if you tipped them off?"

Kamishiro Erina hummed:

"It's just a matter of getting the reward later."
