After separating from Yoshima Sato on the platform, Yu Murakami took the train to IDO to work.

The cherry blossoms on the 300-meter road are becoming more and more gorgeous day by day, and it is estimated that the flowering period will come to an end, and the decline will be in these days.

"Murakami-senpai, good morning."

Yuzi was full of vitality and carried a small bag on her back and ran over from a distance.

Murakami walked without stopping, "Good morning." ”

Tamako is half a body behind Murakami, and the two walk together under the cherry blossom tree.

"The cherry blossoms are blooming so well this year."

"Really?"

Yu Murakami has no concept of cherry blossoms, and there are also cherry blossoms in China, but most of them are not large-scale and have not attracted his attention.

"yes, the cherry blossoms here didn't bloom as well last year as they did this year."

"By the way, how old are you this year, Beichuan?"

"Eighteen."

"Didn't go to school?"

Kitagawa Yuzi touched her head embarrassedly: "Hehe, I'm a stupid person in reading, so I came out to work after graduating from high school." ”

"Hmm."

Murakami knows that many young Japanese people don't go to university.

I started working after graduating from high school, and I mixed in society for three or four years, and my salary was basically the same as that of a college student who had just graduated, or even a little higher.

Although the future is not necessarily better than that of college students, it is also a good choice for people from poor families or who are not good at studying, to come out three or four years earlier to earn money.

"Actually, I've been working part-time at Miko-sama's store since high school."

"Love coffee?"

"Hmm."

Tamako nodded cutely, instantly giving people a very cute and youthful feeling.

"I've wanted to be a professional barista since I was a kid, and it would be even better if I could participate in the DGC, and it would be heart-pounding to be able to compete with top baristas from all island countries."

"What is DGC?"

"Huh?"

Tamako looked at him with round eyes.

Murakami Yu gave her a strange look, why did everyone like to look at him with such eyes?

"What's wrong?"

"Murakami's senior coffee skills are so good, but he doesn't know DGC?"

"Is it famous?"

"Of course." Tamako explained: "DGC is the abbreviation of the Island Country Barista Competition, and the champion can basically be regarded as the best barista in the island country, and can represent the country in the World Barista Competition. ”

Tamako turned her head to look at Yu Murakami and said emphatically: "By the way, the abbreviation of the World Barista Competition is WBC. ”

Yu Murakami was not interested: "Yes." ”

Tamako was suddenly lost, her head was lowered, and her long ponytail lost its luster: "I really envy Murakami's seniors." ”

Yu Murakami was a little embarrassed.

Although he has only been in contact for a day, Tamako has always given him the impression of being full of vitality and love for life.

Now that he was suddenly so lost, he felt like he had said the wrong thing.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Really?" Yuzi raised her little head with a brush, and her smooth forehead sparkled: "Thank you, senior Murakami." ”

There are still more than ten meters away from IDO, and Tamako stretches her arms.

With a shout of "Woo-" in his mouth, he ran into the store.

"Miko-sama, oh hi~"

"Good morning, Tamako, I'm in good spirits today."

"Hey, it's a full of vitality today!"

Yu Murakami reads a book at the bar, waiting for Tamako to clean up the tables and chairs and hang a sign on the door of the store that it is open.

"Come on, let's start with the basics."

"Hey!"

Yuzi bent down slightly and stood to the side obediently.

"If you are a novice, start with the coffee machine, and wait for your level to reach 2 or above, and I will teach you."

Yuzi first agreed, then tilted his head and asked, "Master, what does it mean to reach level 2?" ”

Yu Murakami said while operating the coffee machine: "That's my own set of 5-point evaluation criteria, didn't I say it yesterday, the cat sauce you see who loves to drink coffee, it's about 3." ”

"Oh~, thank you, master."

"What the hell is the master?"

"Hey, hey."

Miko Sanada watered the flowers, noticed the movement of the two, and walked over.

"What's wrong?"

Tamako replied with a smile, "Senior Murakami has agreed to be my master." ”

"Really, that's great, come on, Yuzi, don't worry about the materials or anything, just use it."

Miko Sanada doesn't like Yuu Murakami's arrogance and lack of etiquette, but she also has to admit his skills in making coffee.

"Well, thank you, Miko-san."

Yu Murakami had already made a cup of coffee: "Okay, you go and try it, I'll point you out the mistake on the side." ”

"Hey."

Tamako is still familiar with the coffee machine, and there is nothing wrong with it at first, and Yu Murakami is quietly watching from the side.

Matamiko looked at the coffee that Yu Murakami made with the coffee machine, with beautiful latte art on it.

"I'll take this cup away."

Yu Murakami didn't look back and waved at her.

Miko Sanada snorted softly, arrogant, this was originally her coffee shop.

Carefully picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Well~

Squinting her eyes, Miko Sanada sat down by the window with her coffee, spread out her book, and got up leisurely.

"This is the life of the boss~"

All morning, Yuu Murakami was pointing out Tamako's mistakes.

"Okay, you probably already know the process, and that's the case with the coffee machine, you can practice more yourself."

"Thank you, master."

"Also, in addition to making coffee, baristas also pay attention to the placement and cleaning of equipment, you know?"

Tamako looked at the coffee on the table and the cups scattered everywhere embarrassedly, and stuck out her tongue cutely: "Hi." ”

After saying that, I hurriedly started cleaning up.

The time is approaching the lunch break, and white-collar workers are coming to the coffee shop to rest one after another.

Yesterday's Jun Fukiyama not only came by himself, but also brought two colleagues.

"Murakami-kun, I told them yesterday that there is a new handsome barista from IDO, and they must come and see it."

"Really, how can you say it."

"It's just, I hate it."

Murakami looked at the three white bone spirits with heavy makeup expressionlessly, pretending to be tender and playing around like high school students.

After ordering three cups of coffee, the three of them packed another one, and finally said that they would come back tomorrow before leaving IDO together.

There are obviously a few more guests during today's lunch break than yesterday, and most of them are repeat customers.

【Cooking Lv. 3:35/100】

After the lunch break, there was another free time.

Tamako is proficient in the coffee machine, and Yu Murakami is studying the voice actor schedule.

The two of them huddled in the narrow bar, and Tamako sometimes whispered to ask Murakami Yu some points to pay attention to, but it was a bit of the warmth of a master and apprentice.

Yu Murakami looked at the class schedule, studied it roughly, and planned to go twice a week, exactly one month.

Then there's the question of tuition.

"Manager, why don't we sell some desserts in our store?"

Miko Sanada stroked the orange cat, one person and one cat lazily enjoyed the spring sunshine together.

"Aren't my premium coffee beans enough? Don't let the taste of ido be reduced to vulgarity. ”

“？”

Yu Murakami hesitated, but continued: "My dessert making skills are also good, do you want to try it?" ”

Miko Sanada played with the cat's paws: "Whatever you want, there are eggs and an oven, I usually make it myself." ”

For the sake of salary, Yu Murakami took out 12 points of spirit and made the 3.35 level play perfectly.

Not only that, but he also personally brought it to Miko Sanada.

Miko Sanada tasted it with a spoon and was silent.

Yu Murakami walked back to the bar and instructed, "If the manager has time in the afternoon, go and get some ingredients for making desserts." ”

Miko Sanada angrily threw the cat to Yu Murakami, causing him to be in a hurry.

"Meow~~"

"Don't point fingers at the store manager, you rude fellow."

In the afternoon, Miko Sanada disappeared.

When I saw her again, I was followed by several people who were responsible for transporting materials.

"Your monthly salary will double in the future, no problem, right?"

Yu Murakami stroked the orange cat, looked at the book, and didn't look up: "Okay." ”

"Damn~" Miko Sanada said in a low voice, gritting her teeth.

Tamako looked at the master adoringly from the side.
