"It's a pity, though...... We can't accompany you to the game together, but...... We'll be cheering you on too, Sakurako!"

"Come on, Sakurako, let everyone know how good Sakura's coffee is!"

"Don't worry, Sakurako, Geisha in the forest will definitely be the champion of this barista competition!"

……

As the date of the tournament approached, it was the day Sakurako left Tokyo for Seoul. Since the date of the competition is not a public holiday, the members of the study club, who have been quietly providing various assistance for Sakura's development, will not be able to accompany Sakurako to fly to Seoul, South Korea to participate in the finals of the World Barista Championship. But...... There was one person who was an accident, because he was about to be transferred to another department as a chief bureaucrat, so Lin Xiuyi's life during this time could really be said to be very comfortable.

Since he was a bureaucrat who was to be transferred immediately, it was natural that the search lesson would not arrange any more important work for him. After all, if you do, the handover will be very troublesome. And for Lin Xiuyi, it is just the right opportunity to take this opportunity to accompany his family well, and by the way, he will go to the scene to cheer for Sakura's game.

Lin Shuichi had flown to Seoul before Sakurako left Tokyo, although his original intention was to spend some time with Akemi in Seoul for a few days, but Lin Shuichi also took the initiative to take on the responsibility of playing the front station for Sakurako. Because Reina had to go back to school to take the exam, Lin Shuichi asked Reina to stay in Tokyo alone for a few more days, and until today, Reina flew directly to Seoul with Sakurako and Miko.

When Sakurako said goodbye to everyone gratefully, she slowly walked towards the boarding gate, accompanied by Miko and Reina.

When Sakurako and the three got on the plane, Reina sent a message to her brother before taking off. Then he put his phone aside and talked to Sakurako about the party a few days ago.

"Sister Yuzi, you really haven't said anything about your beef, although it's a bit wasteful to make family barbecue, but ...... It's just a simple roast, but the taste is still so delicious, especially the beef diaphragm baked by your own hand, Sister Yuzi, is even more delicious beyond description!"

"yes, speaking of which...... I also think that the diaphragm is the most delicious part, and the other thing is the beef tongue!

……

Hearing Reina and Sakurako praise their beef, Miko's heart was naturally very happy. However, as the daughter of a rancher, Miko knows how hard it is to raise Matsusaka cattle and how high the price is to pay.

"Alas...... Even you think that Matsusaka beef is the best compared to Kobe beef, but ...... Because Kobe beef is more famous abroad, it ...... The price of Matsusaka beef is still not comparable to that of Kobe beef, which is analogous to gold...... Otherwise, when you come back from the competition, let's open a restaurant specializing in Matsusaka beef! With your excellent foreign language skills and management skills, you will definitely be able to help our Matsusaka beef become famous abroad, how about it...... Sakurako?"

"Huh...... Is Sister Miko planning to open a restaurant? Can you count me as a ......?"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to participate in an important coffee contest soon, so let's talk about the restaurant again!"

……

Hearing that Miko and Reina suddenly talked about running a Matsusaka beef restaurant, Sakurako, who was a little unsure of the situation, quickly intervened in the topic, trying to figure out what was going on!

"It just came to me out of nowhere, but...... I didn't expect you to be interested in Reina-chan, how about it...... Do you want to work together?"

"Of course, but it's a pity...... All I have in my savings is the pocket money I usually save and the salary for the movie I just took over, but it's ...... Akemi would have been interested if she had heard about this, and when I got to Seoul, how about I find a chance to bring her in?"

"Akemi-chan, she's a big star now! If she can join in, I think our restaurant will be very popular! Sakurako-chan, why don't you consider it! The fresh Matsusaka beef restaurant served directly from the ranch should be quite marketable!"

Maybe it's because she can't stand the pull of Miko and Reina!Sakurako finally had no choice but to temporarily agree to their invitation, but ...... These two guys who wanted to open a restaurant on a whim simply didn't even have any experience in running a restaurant. How can you take care of a restaurant's business just on a whim!

"I'm sorry, but if you're really planning to open a Wagyu restaurant, I'm afraid you're ...... The upfront investment alone is not a small amount, ......is it? Matsusaka beef is one of the three major Wagyu beef, and the guests who are willing to come and taste it are naturally a group with a certain economic strength, so ...... The choice of location alone is very limited. I'm afraid that the only way to attract enough customers will be if you have a store in an area like Shinjuku West, Shibuya, or Azabu Shirokane......! If Akemi-chan would be willing to join in, I thought it would be better to open a store in a place like Daikanyama or Omotesando. After all, the customer groups targeted in these regions are more in line with Mingmei's temperament, and at the same time, they can also get more attention from overseas tourists. ”

"Omotesando and Daikanyama? I think...... I'm afraid that the rent alone will cost a lot of money! That's not counting the money you'll need when you open your business......."

Hearing Sakurako's advice, Miko slowly calmed down. As Sakurako's neighbor and close friend, Miko knows how hard Sakurako usually works. In the early days of Sakura's business, the store's business was always in a state of loss, but even so, Sakurako still insisted on using the expensive Panama Emerald Manor as the coffee beans of Sakura-no-Sato, at that time, the cost of daily consumption of coffee beans alone was as high as 150,000 yen, and it was not until Sakura-no-Sato gradually had a group of loyal customers, and Sakurako won the championship of the Japanese Barista Competition, Sakura-no-Sato slowly came out of the haze of loss.

"But...... As long as the restaurant is on the right track and earns enough money, then Sister Yuzi doesn't have to work so hard day and night to catch up with the manuscript as she does now......! Sister Yuzi's relatives in her hometown can also make more money from the restaurant......! I wouldn't mind giving away all my possessions if you wanted to...... I don't really have much savings...... though."

"Alas...... If you really open a store, I'm afraid that the initial investment alone will be hundreds of millions! And I can't be sure that it will be successful......

"It's a pity that I only have 300,000, isn't it too bad!"

"Ah...... I'm really happy to be an actor, I have 300,000 savings at a young age, I'm at your age, but I'm still working hard to help my family work in exchange for pocket money in order to buy the new "Weekly Shonen Jump" every month!"

"You misunderstood Sister Miko, I'm not talking about the yen, it's the US dollar!"

"How many dollars?"

……

"According to the exchange rate, it's about 33 million yen! It seems that our Rena-chan is going to become the first big owner of the new restaurant!"

Sakurako heard Miko's question, and immediately explained to her with a smile.
