"Welcome!"

Hearing a sound of footsteps from far and near in her ears, Sakurako habitually raised her head to send her greetings to the guests, but when the words were spoken, Sakurako realized that it was Lin Xiuyi's sister who entered the door. Seeing Reina walking towards her with an excited face, Sakurako couldn't help but show an intriguing smile on her face.

"Sister Sakurako, how is business today?"

"Thanks to you, today is a fruitful day. But Reina-chan actually came to my side so early.,It looks like I didn't go to the office today.。 Tell me, did you have something happy to tell me, so after school, you just ran to me and came?"

"Haha! I really can't hide anything from Sakurako-sama. To tell you the truth, this time I achieved the best result ever in the mock test for admission to the cram school, and even Shizuka, who usually has excellent academic performance, is now left behind by me......"

Seeing that Reina had to take out a report card from her backpack as if she were offering treasures, Sakurako couldn't help but feel very happy about Reina's progress. On the one hand, since she returned to Tokyo, Rena has been by her side, strictly following her study plan to review. And later, even Akemi joined their study plan. On the other hand, Sakurako herself is a super honor student who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and not only is she proficient in 12 Chinese, but she also has her own set of secrets in preparing for various exams.

After receiving the transcript handed over by Reina, Sakurako patiently checked Reina's current enrollment deviation value from top to bottom, and then found that Reina's deviation value has jumped from the initial 36 to today's 58, and the deviation value of 60 from the first-class university seems to be just a line.

"Huh...... Not bad! Reina-chan is really remarkable that she has made such great progress so quickly! But in this way, as long as you work hard, you may be able to get into a good school that satisfies Mr. Lin!"

"Yes, before I met Sister Sakura, I thought my studies would be completely ruined, I didn't expect that after getting your guidance, there would be such a good effect, I really thank you!"

When Reina said the moment of excitement, she couldn't help but bow her head and solemnly express her gratitude to Sakurako. And Sakurako saw Reina's behavior, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, whispering a few words of relief to her.

Just when Reina was still showing off to Sakurako that she had made a lot of progress in her studies. The door of the coffee shop was pushed open again. Soon, a man in a postman's uniform walked into the store, and when he saw Sakurako and Reina, he politely stepped forward to ask.

Excuse me...... Which one is Miss Sakurako Takumi?

"Oh...... I'm just, what's the matter?"

"Hey, here's an email from you, please sign for it here!"

"Mail?"

Sakurako took the email from the other party, and then confirmed that she had signed her name on the registration form she received. Wait until the postman leaves. Sakurako couldn't wait to open the envelope on the outside of the mail.

"Ahh

Sakurako just glanced at the contents of the email, and a happy smile appeared on her face, and Reina, who saw this scene, couldn't help but be a little curious, what was there that made Sakurako so happy.

"Sister Sakurako, did you encounter something to be happy about?"

"Well, I seem to have passed the preliminary selection of the Japanese Barista Competition, and this is a notice inviting me to Hakodate for the semi-finals and finals!"

"When?"

"It seems to be half a month later!"

"Isn't that the time we're going to Hakodate for the wedding?"

"Eh, is Mr. Hayashi going to Hakodate for a wedding?"

"Yes, when I went to Hokkaido to visit Ernie Chan's mother, I made an agreement with my relatives over there!

"Ah...... That's great, but I wonder if everyone going to Hakodate together will cause too much trouble for Mr. Hayashi and Reina-chan?"

"Don't worry about that, Sakurako-san, Oni-chan's mother runs a hot spring inn in Hakodate, and if you take a car from the airport, you can get there quickly. At that time, Sakurako can also live over there and prepare for the competition with peace of mind!"

Hearing Reina talk about Lin Xiuyi's mother, Sakurako couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. On the one hand, Sakurako felt some curiosity about Lin Xiuyi's mother, and she wanted to know what Lin Xiuyi's family was like. But on the other hand, after all, I didn't receive the other party's invitation, and I am afraid it would be too cheeky to rush to the wedding of others.

"Reina-chan, I might as well not attend the wedding or something!, but we can leave for Hakodate together, and if you have time, I'll be happy to come and see my game!"

"Eh, can't Sakurako-san accompany me to the wedding?

After all, I don't know the couple who are going to get married, and it's rude to rush to someone else's wedding. Also, since we were going to be preparing for the wedding, everyone would be very busy, and if I had to be distracted and take care of me because I was going to participate in the competition, I would feel uneasy!"

Hearing Sakurako say this reason, Reina naturally didn't want to say anything more. After all, Sakurako went to Hakodate to participate in the competition, and being able to achieve good results in the competition is what she is most concerned about at the moment. At this time, it is indeed not the right time to drag Sakurako to someone else's wedding.

"So...... During this time, Sakurako-san is going to do her best to prepare for the competition, right?"

"Hi Woo, this contest was set up to compete for the title of the champion of the Japan Barista Championship. If you win the championship, you will have the opportunity to participate in the World Barista Championship to be held in Seoul at the end of the year. When the time comes, you can compete with the best baristas in the world."

"Ah...... Sounds really exciting, so...... Is there anything I can do to help?"

"This ...... The rules of the Japanese Barista Contest are exactly the same as those of the World Barista Championship, and the whole competition has to make a total of four cups of Espresso (espresso), four cups of milk coffee, and four cups of creative coffee, but because of the large amount of coffee to be made, so I can't taste so much coffee alone, if I can, can I ask Reina-chan to bring as many friends as possible to me to taste the coffee I made, the cost is naturally all free, I just hope to be able to try to pick out the most suitable works for the public taste to participate in the competition。 ”

"Eh, there are so many things to prepare, but the more people who taste it, the better?"

"Hey, that's the only way to filter out the flavors that are closest to the public's liking. ”

"Alright then, I'll ask my friends to try Sakurako-sama's coffee as much as possible, and Akemi-chan, if she mobilizes her own fans, the effect will definitely be better!"
