Sakurako's new residence is located near Yoyogi Park and is a small commercial office building with three floors. Miko had purchased a high-rise apartment nearby, but on the recommendation of her real estate agent, Yuji, she rented the second floor of the office building as her own office. And now because Sakurako has emptied her three well-located real estate properties to repay the bank loan, and the owner of this office building also happens to be interested in selling, Sakurako is interested in buying this place as a new starting point for her future life.

"Then, I'll be ugly!"

Sakurako bowed slightly to Miko and Yuji, who were sitting outside the bar, before turning around, picking up the two coffee cups behind him and making two espressos using an expensive commercial coffee mechanism

Sakurako then poured the heated milk into the milk froth pot at a temperature of about 60 degrees Celsius, which was just right to ensure the taste and ensure that the protein molecules in the milk were not destroyed. Immediately afterward, Sakurako closed the strainer and lid of the milk froth pot, and then quickly pulled the pressure valve on the pot to pump air into the milk. After about thirty times, when Sakurako opened the milk froth pot again, the half pot of milk that had been in it had doubled in size.

Sakurako expertly skims off the large foam on the surface of the milk, and then pours the beaten milk foam into the latte art cup. Then, she picked up the glass of Espresso she had prepared, lifted the latte art cup containing the milk foam in her right hand, and slowly poured the milk into the Espresso.

With the skillful cooperation of Sakurako's two hands, a trace of ripples appeared on the surface of the originally monotonous coffee, and soon with the slight shaking of Sakurako's wrist, a beautiful cherry blossom pattern appeared in the cup.

"Ah...... It's so beautiful, it looks so good!"

Miko couldn't help but admire the pattern of cherry blossoms in the cup, and then took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the pattern on the cup of coffee.

"Let's change the way to make a slightly more complex pattern!"

Sakurako said as she picked up another glass of Espresso. This time, instead of using the milk foam she had just made, she picked up the chocolate sauce and gently squeezed some on the surface of the coffee, and then she picked up the coffee latte needle again and deftly clicked on the surface of the coffee a few times.

A moment later, Sakurako brought a cup of coffee with a manga girl's avatar floating on the surface to Miko and Mr. Yuuji. The five-body body that Yuko has already admired has thrown himself to the ground.

"Is this Kiki from ...... "Witch Home Delivery Service"? It's really well drawn, and it's on coffee, it's amazing!"

Miko, who is a manga artist, can see at a glance the origin of the floating pattern in the cup.

"Hey, I practiced secretly for a long time for this look, and finally succeeded in it. ”

When Sakurako heard Miko actually say Kiki's name, a sense of joy suddenly arose in her sense of recognition.

"I really didn't expect it, it turns out that coffee can make so many tricks, I can't bear to drink it!"

Mr. Yuji on the side also said to Sakurako from the bottom of his heart.

With Sakurako's encouragement, the two of them each picked up a cup of coffee from Sakurako's hand and tasted it. After entering the mouth, Miko couldn't help but close her eyes and savor the unique taste of a mellow mixture of milk and the aroma of coffee.

"Ah...... It's so delicious, and it's so much to look forward to at the thought of being able to drink such delicious coffee downstairs in the future. ”

Miko put down the coffee cup in her hand, not noticing that there were still traces of coffee on her lips, she closed her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head, with a happy smile on her face after tasting the food.

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

After a cup of coffee, Miko and Mr. Yuji each thanked Sakurako. At this moment, the door of the store behind him was suddenly pushed open, and I saw Reina-chan pulling a girl wearing a mask into the store together.

"Reina-chan, did you bring a friend to see me today?"

"Well, Sakurako-san...... A friend said she wanted to meet you, so I brought her over to help......"

Reina said as the girl pushed in front of her, and then lifted the mask from the other person's face. When Mr. Yuji and Miss Sakurako saw the girl's face, they immediately asked in surprise:

"Are you ......?"

"Miss Akemi Sonoji?"

"Hi babble, I'm Akemi of Sonoji Temple, it's the first time we've met, please take care of me!"

Akemi glanced at Sakurako a little embarrassed, then lowered her head and bowed to Sakurako and Mr. Yuji.

"Ah...... I'm Sakurako of the Tsukiju, I didn't expect you to be a friend of Reina-chan, please take care of me when we meet for the first time......"

Sakurako saw Akemi saluting her, and hurriedly returned the salute, and Mr. Yuji, who was sitting on the side, stood up with an excited face, and asked Akemi with some embarrassment.

"That...... My children usually like Ms. Akemi the most, can you ...... Can...... Could you please leave him an autograph?"

"......Huh? No problem at all, what do you want to call your son?"

"It's called Ichiro......"

As he spoke, Mr. Yuji took out his notebook and pen from his pocket and handed them to Akemi. After Akemi thanked her, she wrote her blessing on it seriously, and then signed her name.

"So...... Is that okay?"

"Hey...... Thank you so much, Miss Sonoji!"

"You're welcome!"

After getting Akemi's autograph, seeing that the time should be almost up, Mr. Yuji said goodbye to everyone and left here first. After Mr. Yuji left, Akemi said apologetically to Sakurako again:

"I'm so sorry that I didn't really say hello to you just now before I went to do something else, and it was rude to visit you for the first time and not bring some greeting courtesy. ”

"There, I really didn't expect you to be a friend of Reina?

Sakurako also hurriedly returned the salute to Akemi. But she didn't know that Akemi actually had another purpose in mind. Akemi raised her head with a smile on her face and carefully looked at Sakurako standing behind the bar, but she couldn't help but sigh a little frustrated.

"Why, why did Xiu-chan know such a beautiful woman, the real person is that the photos sent by Reina are much more beautiful, it's really a headache!"
