Chapter 9: Sakurako's Wish

"Ah...... I'm so tired today!"

"Thank you for your help today!"

A cup of hot cappuccino was put in Reina's hand by Sakurako, and Reina saw that the person who came over was Sakurako, so she temporarily stopped what she was doing and said to Sakurako with a smile:

"Thank you, Sakurako-sama, I've almost sorted out the opinion form filled out by the customers today, and I'll let you see the results in a while!"

"Oh...... I thought it would be a long wait! I'm afraid I've already given out nearly a thousand cups of coffee today! It's not easy to deal with so many grading cards!"

"It's okay! I asked my classmates from the computer club at school to help me make a program for processing the score sheet, so that the workload of statistics was greatly reduced, but it was ......."

"Huh, may I ask...... Any questions, Rena-chan?"

"That...... This time, Sakura-no-Sato gave away so much coffee at once, and it was the expensive Geisha from the expensive Emerald Manor, and the cost of the coffee beans used today alone was as high as 150,000 yen, so ...... Is it really worth it?"

"Huh...... Did you use up so much ground coffee? It seems that Akemi-chan's help to promote it is really good!"

"Sister Sakurako, don't you think it's a pity? Using such a good coffee powder to make free coffee, even if it is for the sake of publicity, I'm afraid it's too wasteful!"

"However, many of our customers say that our coffee is delicious, and there are many customers who like coffee and give me a lot of useful advice!"

……

Maybe it was seeing Reina's feeling sorry for herself that Sakurako felt Reina's concern, and Sakurako thought it would be better to explain it to Reina. So she picked up the coffee cup and brought it to Reina, and then said to Reina with an expectant expression:

"Let's try my latest improved version first, I have increased the roasting time according to the feedback from today's guests, this is a secret coffee bean specially prepared for making milk coffee!"

"Oh...... I'll try the taste first!"

Taking the coffee handed over by Sakurako, Reina looked at the pattern of the swan floating in the cup, and couldn't help but feel that barista is really not an easy profession!

With the aroma of milk and coffee coming from the cup, Rena gently put the cup to her lips and took a small sip carefully. After entering the mouth, the mellow taste of milk neutralizes the bitterness and sourness of the coffee itself, but highlights the aroma of the sun-dried Geisha coffee itself.

"It's delicious! Even people like me, who don't usually drink coffee, think it's very delicious...... I feel that even people who don't drink coffee regularly on weekdays will like the taste!"

Although Espresso is a drink that really tests a barista's ability to control coffee beans, ordinary customers prefer milk coffee with a more acceptable taste than coffee lovers. Coffees like caramel macchiato, cappuccino, latte, etc., are much more popular than espresso. ”

"Japan is not a place where you can produce top-quality coffee beans, but people here love coffee just as much as those who live in the main coffee-producing regions. In Ethiopia, it seems that the locals can make coffee directly by just roasting it in a pot for cooking, but it is the wide variety of coffee making methods that really make this drink popular around the world. It is precisely in order to cherish these coffee beans that have been carefully cultivated by people from other countries, that baristas need to constantly hone and think, in the hope of finding more ways to make coffee taste good......"

……

Hearing Sakurako's opinion, although Reina still feels sorry for Sakura's loss, she also understands Sakurako's concept of wanting to make more delicious coffee with her heart. Looking at the cup of coffee in her hand, thinking that the coffee beans used to make this cup of coffee were cultivated by someone in the world with a lot of hard work, Reina seems to be able to understand some Sakurako's desire not to live up to the hard work of others, and to want more people to be able to taste delicious coffee.

"That...... I'm sorting out today's data! There are also comments written by guests on the website to see if there is anything else that can help Sakurako. ”

"Hmm...... Reina-chan has been working hard today, and if you continue to stay here to help me at such a late hour, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch the train back!"

"It's okay, it's not the first time I've stayed here at Sakurako-san anyway!I just hope that I can do my best to help you prepare for the Japan Barista Contest as much as I can!"

……

Hearing Reina's explanation, Sakurako's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth. At such a time, the person who can stay with him and help him is really the rarest friend!

Just when Sakurako was about to get up and go to roast some new beans, the door of the store that had been hung up with a closing sign was pushed open again, and just as Sakurako instinctively wanted to stand up and explain the situation to the customer, she saw Lin Shuichi and Akemi walking into the store together.

"I'm sorry...... Eh, Mr. Hayashi, Akemi-chan, it's so late, you ......."

"We just went to Ginza to pick out wedding gifts for our relatives, but we unexpectedly met a former classmate who gave us some delicious chocolates, so we thought we would bring them over for everyone to taste!

"She wanted to come down to help, but it seems that the editor of the publishing house is stuck in the studio, and it is said that if you don't deliver the manuscript on time, you won't be able to leave!"

"That's it!"

……

While everyone stayed in the shadow café to share the desserts they bought from the House of Hermès, at this moment, Miko, who was staying upstairs, kept pestering her own editor, Miss Tsukimoto.

"Sister Tsukimoto, can I go down and have a cup of coffee, just one cup, after drinking, I will come back immediately and finish all the sketches!"

"Mr. Fukuda, please be sure to abide by the agreement between us, don't finish all the drawings, resolutely don't leave the studio, if you need coffee, I will personally prepare it for you, please!"

"Alas...... But ......"

"Teacher (sir)!"

Seeing that the editor of Tsukimoto bowed in front of him in the way of sitting down, Miko had to swallow all the excuses he thought of back into his stomach,

"Alas...... I knew that there would be today, I shouldn't have softened my heart in the first place, and my mother used the excuse of illness to trick me back to participate in some ghost blind date, how much effort did this delay!"
