In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

From 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. that day, they only served three tables of guests, and after deducting costs, they probably only made a little over 4,000 yen.

After seeing off the last customer, Genji Sanada pinched the bridge of his nose, looking a little worried.

Knowing this in your heart is one thing, but you can't be impatient for quick results; you have to be patient.

But if you actually sit there and watch the shop, seeing that it's empty, you still won't be able to calm down and stop overthinking.

Frustrated, he left the store and quickly went to a nearby convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes he had quit smoking for a long time.

He pulled out a cigarette, and had it in his mouth when his phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw it was a call from my son.

As soon as the call connected, his son said with a smile, "Dad, it's normal for business to be slow since the store has only been open for a short time. Don't worry, some things can't be solved by being anxious."

This……

Genji Sanada subconsciously turned around and glanced at the security camera in the store. He wondered to himself if this kid had left a backdoor in the store's security camera and was now monitoring him at home with his mobile phone.

But that doesn't seem right either; the camera is pointed inside the store, and he's outside right now...

Genji Sanada didn't think much of it and attributed it to coincidence, but his mood did indeed improve a lot because of his son's phone call.

The two chatted for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Qianye's omniscient perspective was still on. He waited until he saw his father think for a moment and then throw the cigarette and its pack into the trash can before he smiled with satisfaction.

Cigarettes are no good; it's best to avoid them if possible.

However, seeing his father so troubled by the shop's affairs, he did indeed become concerned about the shop's situation.

March 7th Bar is different from the previous Yuan Bar; this is our own property.

We need to think carefully about ways to improve business.

the next day.

During the break after the second period, Chiya received a message from Saeko Busujima.

【Gen-kun, could you come to the kendo club at noon? There are some things I'd like to discuss with you in person.】

These past few days, with the next exam approaching, in order to improve her younger sister's grades and also to lift Eriri's curfew, she has been working hard.

During lunch break, Yuan Qianye would take the two of them to the school library to tutor them in their weaker subjects.

In response to Saeko Busujima's message, Chiya Minamoto simply replied, "Okay."

A little while later, the other party replied with a cute dog smiley face.

Yuan Qianye then sent a simple two-word message: "Cute".

Saeko Busujima smiled and lowered her head, typing a reply rather clumsily.

[This smiling puppy is a picture I saved when I was chatting with Eriri; she told me to save it. It's really cute.]

No, that's not it.

【What?】

What I mean is, Saeko-senpai, you're so cute.

From God's-eye view, Gen Chiya did indeed see Saeko Busujima sitting in her seat, covering her cherry-like mouth with her hand, her cheeks flushed.

As Xu Zhimo said, the most beautiful sight is that gentle lowering of the head, like a water lily shyly trembling in the cool breeze.

Yuan Qianye shook his head abruptly, feeling that he had probably been over-nourished lately, otherwise why would he be unable to control himself from flirting with people?

He then sent a follow-up message, "See you at noon," thus concluding this exchange of messages.

At noon, he asked Rikka and Eriri to go to the library to wait for him, while Minamoto Chiya went to the kendo club, which he hadn't visited for several days.

The atmosphere was noticeably different.

It wasn't Saeko Busujima who was being flirted with by Chiya Minamoto that morning, but she didn't show any unusual behavior at the moment.

What seemed unusual was Yusuke Ushiyama, and the others present.

As the third strongest member of the kendo club after Saeko Busujima and Chiya Minamoto, Yusuke Ushiyama was setting an example by holding the wooden sword with both hands to maintain his balance, with a bottle of mineral water hanging at the very tip.

The other members of the kendo club were wearing pained expressions as they imitated his posture. Most of them had their hands trembling slightly, but they still had to grit their teeth and persevere.

If the water bottle slips or falls into your hand, it's not only embarrassing, but you'll also have to do two sets of push-ups.

"This training method is quite unique." Gen Chiya sat cross-legged next to Saeko Busujima on the sidelines.

Saeko Busujima smiled and said, "This was Ushiyama-senpai's request, mainly because he was genuinely angry."

"Oh? What happened?"

"It's because of the flag-fighting competition the day before yesterday, Han Guo and..."

"Ah, I know, what does that match have to do with the current situation?"

"Some third-year kendo club members, without thinking, joked that Senior Ushiyama was somewhat like that Korean chess player, who only lost one game in the competition and still won the championship."

Senior Ushiyama, unable to contain his anger, immediately defeated several third-year kendo club members one-on-one. With my permission, he then began training the other kendo club members who had been laughing on the sidelines.

Yuan Qianye understood and chuckled, "Then Senior Niu Shan is indeed angry."

Given Ushiyama Yusuke's kind-hearted nature, he probably wouldn't even care if people said his swordsmanship wasn't good.

The reason he was angry was undoubtedly because those ignorant fools compared him to that despicable chess player who has now become a laughing stock worldwide.

Even if Yusuke Ushiyama loses a match and is defeated by a first-year opponent, he would never think of using any underhanded tactics.

Once you have this idea and actually put it into practice, how are you any different from a villain?

If you fall and your face hits the ground, just get up, dust yourself off, and wash yourself clean again.

But if it's the heart, then it really will be dirty for life.

Furthermore, his strength is actually not weak in the Kendo Club, otherwise they wouldn't have sent him as a regular player to participate in the national competition.

It was only because he had a bad start and was overshadowed by the brilliance of the two geniuses around him that he seemed to be just a bystander.

At this moment, apart from Yusuke Ushiyama, everyone on the field could no longer hold on, their endurance reached its limit, and even their mineral water bottles fell to the ground.

Leaving aside the affairs of others, Saeko Busujima stopped looking at the venue and got down to business.

“Yuan-kun… I specifically asked you to come here because of my father’s matter.”

She seemed to find it difficult to talk about such things, so while speaking, she moved her little feet under her bottom a little closer to Yuan Qianye, and deliberately lowered her voice.

"Oh? What happened to Uncle Busujima?"

"He'll be going abroad again in a few days."

Is it about work?

Saeko Busujima nodded.

Her father takes it upon himself to spread the culture of kendo and has opened several kendo dojos abroad. He cannot be away for too long, and it is time for him to go back.

Yuan Qianye sighed, "It must have been really tough."

"Over the years, he's gotten used to it."

"No, I meant it'll be tough. Saeko-senpai, you'll have to do it all by yourself again..."

Gen Chiya suddenly stopped talking. He realized his own abnormality and saw that Saeko Busujima's eyes were strangely moist as she looked at him.

Something's not right, not even 90% right.

Am I being controlled by hormones? Have I reached the age where I'm supposed to be able to pierce steel plates every day? Why can't I keep saying these things?

Gen Chiya coughed lightly to dispel the bittersweet atmosphere.

Saeko Busujima, as if waking from a dream, withdrew her sticky gaze and got back to the main topic.

“My father… wants to visit Uncle Yuan’s shop one last time before he leaves. He said he and Uncle Yuan hit it off immediately, and he realized that what he said earlier was very impolite to someone he was meeting for the first time. This time, he mainly wants to apologize to Uncle Yuan in person and say goodbye.”

"Huh? Is Saeko's dad going to the store to see Uncle Gen tonight too?"

Inside the library of Kawanan Middle School, Eriri overheard Minamoto Chiya talking about joining the kendo club and blurted out something on her own.

Senya Minamoto keenly noticed the word "also" in her words and asked with a smile, "Eriri, are you going to see my dad too?"

Eriri quickly waved her hand: "Ah, it's not me. I can't go out until the next exam results come out."

These are my parents. I mentioned to them before that Uncle Yuan owns a shop. Dad's off work today, so Mom was thinking of going with him to Uncle Yuan's shop for a drink after dinner. This morning before coming to school, Mom specifically asked me to say hello to you.

It turned out to be the case.

Yuan Qianye nodded to indicate that he understood.

It's quite a coincidence that two of my friends' elders will be here to support us today.

However, it shouldn't matter much. It's just a few more customers than usual. With the bar's business so slow right now, it's not like we're too busy to handle it.

But Minamoto Chiya still sent a message to Minamoto Sanada to hint at it, and he replied with an OK hand gesture emoji.

I went home after school in the afternoon.

Minamoto Sanada left home around 3:00 PM, but business wasn't good, so he had to extend his business hours.

After taking a shower, Yuan Qianye sat at her desk, looking at the development and growth history of various well-known shops on the internet, expanding her thinking.

They were trying to find a suitable solution to the problem of their bar's poor business.

I checked some information, wrote a summary, and marked the key points. Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.

He didn't waste this time; he did indeed gain something.

I also realized that for a store to succeed, it must have its own unique advantages in some areas.

Either you have a unique personal style.
