"Don't you really want to go with us, if you go to Hakodate together, you can take care of each other along the way!"

"Hmm...... This competition is very important to me, I have been preparing for this competition for a long time, I think it is better to be alone before the competition!"

Although Sakurako is very grateful to Lin Shuichi for inviting her to attend a relative's wedding with her, but considering that she has to prepare for the Japanese Barista Championship with all her might, if she goes to someone else's wedding at this time, she may need to let others take care of herself in turn, if so, Sakurako thinks it is better not to disturb Lin Xiuyi's family.

"But...... I remember that Sakurako's competition time seems to be set after the wedding, so let's all go and cheer for Sakurako!"

"yes...... I'd love to see what Sakurako-san looks like when she compete......s? If we can really win the championship, Sakura's business will definitely be very good!"

"I hope so, but this time I went to the competition with the best baristas in Japan, so I was very happy to have the opportunity to compete with everyone. Champion or something, it's better not to have such illusions!"

"However, Sakurako-sama's coffee is really delicious! Moreover, it has been modified according to the suggestions of so many people during this time, and if it is used in the competition, I believe that Sakura's coffee will definitely not lose to anyone. ”

"I think so too, although almost all my knowledge of coffee comes from Sakurako-sei, but I also believe that Sakurako-sama's coffee will not be lost to anyone, so go ahead and compete, Sakura-sama!

……

Seeing Reina and Akemi cheering for themselves with a determined face, Sakurako's heart couldn't help but feel very moved. However, Lin Xiuyi sat quietly at the table at this time, carefully tasting his favorite Espresso on weekdays, Lin Xiuyi drank it, Sakura has put a lot of effort into the roasting of coffee, this kind of sun-dried Geisha produced in the volcanic soil of Panama Emerald Manor has almost been exerted to the extreme by Sakura, while perfectly retaining the aroma of the coffee beans themselves, and balancing the sourness and bitterness of it. It can be said that if you don't consider the coffee beans themselves, the sun-dried Geisha in Sakurato is the best coffee that Lin Shuichi has ever drunk.

But...... However, there is no such thing as the best coffee bean in the world, and the taste of coffee is always changing with the times, and the coffee beans purchased by Sakurako are the most expensive of the coffee beans that are sold at public auction. But there are also some powerful coffee companies that use their own coffee beans, and these beans are likely to come from some unknown coffee paradise, and they will never appear in any auction market in the world, because these beans themselves are the most valuable asset of a coffee company.

The weak Sakura-no-Sakura has already tried everything to buy enough Emerald Manor Sun-dried Rosesummer. And if you want to beat the top baristas who have these secret weapons, in addition to the factors of roasting coffee and the beans themselves, perhaps the only thing that can compete is the creativity of the barista himself.

"Sakura-chan, I don't think you have any problems with Geisha, but I remember hearing you mention that in addition to making Espresso, you also need to make four cups of milk coffee, and four cups of creative coffee that is different from the traditional drinking method, I wonder if you have anything to consider about these two links?"

"Hmm, milk coffee, Torina and Akemi Fuku, these days, there have been a lot of customers who have helped us try it, I have made some slight adjustments according to the suggestions they gave, and it seems that it has indeed become more popular, but in terms of creative coffee, I have only come up with a few for the time being, but ...... I haven't tried anything other than myself......"

"Huh...... Haven't we even tasted it?"

"Hey, creative coffee or something, it was originally to explore the experiment of new ways to drink coffee, and I didn't have the confidence to let others try my experiment until I was satisfied with the results. ”

"But...... Hearing what Sakurako-san said, we'd love to give it a try?"

"Yes, Sakurako-sama, I'm also curious about what kind of creative coffee Sakura-san will make!"

"It's all immature experiments, and I've never sold them in a store, just in case ......"

"It's okay, let's try it for you! Speaking of which, those who haven't drunk it are more likely to get people interested than traditional types of coffee!"

……

Just when everyone was encouraging Sakurako to come up with her own creative coffee to share with everyone, Miko, who everyone was still talking about just now, dragged her tired body to the store. However, when Miko saw that Lin Xiuyi and the others were in the store, Miko suddenly came to his senses.

"Huh, everybody's here today!"

"Well, Sister Miko, we're about to try Sakurako-sama's new coffee?"

"Oh...... Is there a new product for Sakura-chan?Hurry up and bring me a cup too! I'm going to be sleepy, so I have to talk about it before I let the editor of the month book let me down and take a breath, alas...... If only I could have a cool beer now!"

"Beer?"

Hearing Miko talk about beer, Sakurako couldn't help but have a hint of inspiration in her heart!

"Beer or something can't be drunk, or the editor will kill me! But I just want to have a drink! Beer is the best weapon to make people forget their tiredness compared to coffee!"

"Miko-chan, do you think beer is more refreshing than coffee?"

"Hey, especially the silky taste, the mellow feeling full of foam, and the pleasure of drinking it in one sip!

"Wait a minute!"

After Sakurako asked Miko a few questions, she walked to the bar and started making only coffee with the tools in her hand. He first took out a bottle of cold brew coffee from the refrigerator, and then put on cotton gloves and took out a steel bottle from under the counter. Sakurako took out a beer glass, then poured the pre-made cold brew coffee into the poured beer glass, and then Sakurako opened the cylinder's gas valve and poured the gas into the cold brew coffee.

A few minutes later, when Sakurako placed a cup of what looked like a German dark beer in front of Miko, everyone present was stunned by Sakurako's cup of coffee.

"It's ......"

"This is the cold brew coffee I use to make creative coffee, and because of the dark roasting technique, it has a bitter taste that is closer to that of beer, and now with some nitrogen, it should taste more like beer!"

"Eh! I'll do it then!"

Miko took a sip from her glass as she spoke, and then, with a look of surprise on her face, she picked up her glass and drank the coffee from the cup.

"Ah...... It's amazing!
