"Welcome to the light...... Ah, Miko, you're back, do you feel okay on this vacation to Australia?"

"Ah...... Sakurako, I haven't seen you for so long, have you missed me often!"

Seeing Miko dressed casually and dragging her suitcase into the store, Sakurako greeted her very happily.

"It's a pity that I like your Wagyu beef more than Miko, and I also want to go to Australia for a vacation, but it's a pity that my life is completely trapped by this coffee shop now!"

"Let's not talk about it, bring me a cup of black coffee and beer right now, I'm so thirsty and hot right now!"

"Hi...... Hi...... I know that you like dark coffee beer the most, so please wait a minute, I'll prepare it for you!"

Sakurako left her seat and went to the counter and took out a beer mug to make Miko's favorite black coffee beer.

Although it is said to be beer, it is actually coffee, and this drink, which Sakurako came up with on the spur of the moment, has now become the signature coffee of Sakura-no-Sato Cafe.

A cup of iced black coffee, combined with a soft foam from the nitrogen. Although it is simple to make, it is still evocative.

When Sakurako finished the black coffee beer, she put the cup of black coffee beer on the tray and delivered it to Miko herself, and then leaned over to sit opposite Miko, smiling and watching her take a big sip of satisfaction.

"Ah...... I'm a big fan of beer, but if I sit in a pub and drink a lot of wine in the evening, it's easy to be mistaken for a guy who has nothing to do!"

"Oh...... It turns out that everyone comes to me for coffee and beer because of this heart? I didn't think about it!"

……

Miko had just been sitting in the store for a while, and she saw that the number of customers in the store began to increase slowly. However, Sakurako always sat here with her, and she didn't seem to get up to take care of the business. Seeing that Sakurako seemed to have something on her mind, Miko couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"How did you prepare for the World Barista Finals? ”

"Oh...... I've asked familiar suppliers to find better coffee beans, but ...... At the moment, I still underestimate the industry!"

"Eh, you're the champion of Japan, why don't you have confidence in yourself when you finally get into the finals?"

"In the last Japanese Barista Competition, I didn't wait or admit that it was good luck that allowed me to win the championship in the end, especially this dark coffee beer, which left a very strong impression on the judges. But...... If luck can send me to the final of the World Series, I think that's the limit!"

"You don't have confidence in yourself...... Is it because the development of new coffee drinks is not going well?"

"It's not just for this reason, in fact, I feel like I've been pushing the limits of the kind of sun Geisha I've been using, and it's impossible to develop a new drink that works better for any coffee. So the biggest headache for me now is how to find a coffee bean that can bring me new inspiration, but unfortunately, the world's best coffee beans are basically monopolized by those powerful opponents, after all, no one wants to miss out on the championship because of coffee beans......"

Hearing what Sakurako was worried about, Miko didn't know how to comfort him for a while. After all, although Miko also knows a lot about coffee because of his neighbors, in the final analysis, Miko is just a layman after all.

"Welcome, ah...... It's Mr. Lin!"

"Excuse me...... Is Sakurako here?"

"Hi...... Please come with me over here!"

……

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's voice suddenly coming from the store, Sakurako and Miko hurriedly got up and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then they saw Lin Xiuyi, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, walking towards their location under the leadership of the clerk in the store.

"Ah...... Xiu-chan, long time no see!How do you know I'm back today?"

"Uh...... I don't know, but it's a pleasure to see you back, how was it, was it a nice trip?"

"Hey, sunny beach, and clean sea, if it weren't for the constant phone calls from the editor of the month, I wouldn't want to come back...... Oh, by the way, I'm hooked on diving now!"

"Diving...... That should be dangerous!"

"No, as long as you are accompanied by an instructor, there is nothing to be afraid of, by the way, the instructors who teach diving are all handsome guys with great figures!"

"This kind of thing...... I'm not going to try it!"

……

Just after Lin Xiuyi and Miko talked about the situation during the vacation, Sakurako asked with some curiosity:

"Officer Lin, why did you come here so early today, could it ...... Didn't you go to work today?"

"Uh...... No, just now when I was out on business, I suddenly received a call from Kono-kun, and she seemed to be thinking about the coffee she gave you last time......! May I ask if I'm here at the wrong time?"

"Ah...... I've already dealt with that, so if you and Mr. Kono want to taste it in the evening, it should be fine......! I'm going to have to tell you beforehand, because those beans aren't carefully cultivated, so ...... Don't expect too much as well!"

Hearing Sakurako's explanation, Lin Xiuyi smiled disappreliantly, and then continued to explain to Sakurako.

"I guess Kono-kun didn't know that he was actually deceived by the locals!, don't worry, if he really feels disappointed at night, I'll explain it to her for you. Oh...... By the way, in addition to Kono-kun, I also invited another friend over tonight, and if Sakurako doesn't mind, I'd like her to try your specialty coffee?"

"Huh...... Who is it, is it someone I and Sakurako don't know?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi say that he was going to bring a friend, Yuzi couldn't help but ask him with some curiosity.

"Uh...... She probably hasn't been here before, it's a classmate of mine when I was in college, and I just met recently, but because I haven't been in touch for many years, I don't know much about her situation. ”

"Ah...... Classmates in college, male classmates, still female classmates!"

"Female classmate, at that time, we were not only in the same class, but also in the same club, in short, I have been taken care of by her a lot in the past!"
