"Murakami-san, Nakano-san, please test the microphone, if there are no problems, you can start."

"Okay."

The two took the lavalier microphone from the staff and pinned it to the collar of their clothes.

"Hey, is Murakami-kun here? Today I want to eat fried rice! ”

"Yes."

The test is over, no problems.

Yu Murakami walked into the kitchen first, waited for the staff to make an "OK" gesture, and started his first job on the first afternoon of October.

"Welcome to Murakami Cafeteria! I'm the store manager, Yu Murakami! ”

"I'm still running my little shop today. Happily, because of everyone's support and publicity, the business of our store is getting better and better, and some people have even booked seats! ”

"So, I'm going to hurry up – two hors d'oeuvres! Squid whiskers with honey, and squid whiskers with peanut butter! ”

......

"Murakami-san is in a good mood today."

"Is there one?" Ai Nakano asked the female staff member who spoke.

"Hmm. Of course, Murakami-san has been doing his best, and the show works very well. Maybe it's my personal feeling, I can only feel the seriousness and responsibility for the work from him. Ask him if he is willing to do this, and I am afraid that he will get a negative answer. Today is different. Did anything happy happen to Murakami-san? ”

Ai Nakano looked at Yu Murakami, who had drizzled the squid whiskers with honey and peanut butter and stirred them into a terrible shape with great interest, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

"A little success on the side hustle~"

"Murakami-san is amazing." The female staff was obsessed: "Obviously, the voice actor's job is already very hard, and he has to work other jobs." ”

......

"The side dishes are ready, when will the guests arrive?"

"Excuse me, are you in business?" Ai Nakano jumped into the camera like a deer.

She was also in a good mood today.

"Of course, please come in."

Ai Nakano walked directly into the kitchen and approached Yu Murakami.

"Murakami-kun, look, what did I bring here?"

"What is this?"

"Rice, fruit, wine!" Ai Nakano points the bottle at the camera.

"......," said Yu Murakami, "it doesn't matter if it's day or night, but Nakano-san, it's working time." ”

"What does it matter. Anyway, let's not get drunk, the two of us. ”

Nakano Ai's amount of alcohol, as long as it is not a banquet until one or two o'clock in the morning, is usually not drunk.

"Sweater Wine Tasting?"

Ai Nakano smiled and said, "Murakami-kun! Don't mention the names of other shows without permission! ”

"There's no way, Nakano-san, you are standing in front of me, and if there is wine, the words "Sweater Wine Tasting" will naturally pop out of your mouth."

"Well, then you put the wine in the refrigerator and don't drink today. I'll make you a cup of coffee later~"

Yu Murakami looked her in the eye.

"Huh?" Ai Nakano tilted her head and looked at him as well.

"Nothing." Yu Murakami, who began to regret it, put the wine in the refrigerator and looked back to see that she was still standing in the kitchen.

"Nakano-san, you don't have to stand here all the time, just sit in the living room."

"I'll help you, as usual, it's boring to sit there alone."

Without waiting for Yu Murakami to explain that the previous guests were all sitting in the living room, Ai Nakano had already turned on the faucet and washed her hands in the sound of rushing water.

"Murakami-kun, I didn't eat lunch specially, you have to play hard and do more."

"Didn't you say you wanted fried rice?"

"That's a test microphone! Really! ”

"Yes, yes."

"Hahaha." Ai Nakano lowered her head and smiled, her face perfect for a smile.

When she raised her head, she flashed Murakami with her eyes, "You have to make sure I'm satisfied, otherwise I'll give bad reviews to other guests and make your restaurant untenable." ”

"What a discerning guest."

Before cooking, the two of them enjoy hors d'oeuvres together.

"Hmm......" Ai Nakano ate a peanut butter squid whisker, and after a while, {this can't work} shook her head, "Murakami-kun, how do you feel?" ”

Her mouth is still chewing, and the toughness of the squid whiskers purchased by the production team is still unexpectedly good.

"It's unpalatable."

"It's so straightforward!"

In short, the squid that was so unpalatable that Yuu Murakami, who had eaten it several times, still didn't want to eat it, put it aside, and the two of them began to cook today's dish.

Ai Nakano peeled potatoes and asked, "Murakami-kun, I've heard about your shop, too." ”

"Oh?" Yu Murakami kills fish in the pond.

Twice in a row, the staff was so hungry by Yuu Murakami's cooking that the camera was full of the sound of "grunting" swallowing saliva, and was unanimously praised by the audience, saying {I can only watch but not eat, the staff is so pitiful, we can still watch while eating}, they simply don't buy the processed ingredients.

For Yu Murakami, they casually found a reason, saying that the freshness of the processed food is definitely not as good as the unprocessed one, and the processing of the ingredients is also a step in the cooking. Murakami-san, I'm sorry for your trouble. }

"I've heard a lot of rumors from them about the so-chan and the minami-chan."

"What did you say?"

"Minami-chan said, eating your food makes me feel like heaven."

"The ingredients are prepared by the production team, don't look for me when you die."

"Murakami-kun! The wrong way to go to Heaven! Ai Nakano stopped cutting her head and looked at him with a very happy smile.

"Where's the sauce? And what did she say? ”

"She said she wanted to live in Sakuraso." Ai Nakano said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no extra room, otherwise it will be more lively if you live in with the sauce!" ”

"Makes sense."

Yu Murakami rinsed the clean fish with clean water, skimming the beautiful waist curve of Ai Aino in the eyes, and it was strange about her attitude.

It's not like she's saying "it's not good for a boy to hesitate".

"Both of them give you good compliments on the level of cooking. By the way, Murakami-kun, your cooking level is so high, why don't you consider a part-time job in this area? Hourly wages are going to be high, right? ”

"Although I want to buy a house, how can I say it, I don't have much pursuit of working hard to obtain wealth and living a so-called good life." Yu Murakami replied.

"Why?"

"Why ......" Yu Murakami put the fish on the grill, the flames squeaked, "I can't think of the right language for a while...... I'll borrow a lyric to answer you. ”

"Do you want to sing? Looking forward to it! ”

Ai Nakano put down her head and knife and applauded gently, and the rest of the staff also applauded.

Originally, he was just going to read the lines over and over again...... But it doesn't matter.

【Flower World, Mandarin Duck Butterfly】

[It's already upside down in the world]

[Why bother to go to the sky]

[It's better to sleep gently together]

Because the original song is a Chinese song, it is somewhat strange that it was sung by Yu Murakami in the order and sentences of the island language.

Fortunately, his singing level is passable, not unpleasant and awkward.

And the listener seems to see the life of the six song immortals singing and dancing - sunny is a day, and rain is also a day.

"So chic!" Ai Nakano said admiringly.

Yu Murakami sings differently from the original.

The original song is like chasing wealth and fame, and after seeing through it, I suddenly look back. And he seems to be wearing a patch, and he also wants to tease the free and uninhibited little lady on the side of the road.

"It's nothing. Everyone has everyone's point of view. Those who have pursuits and want to stand on high places will scold people like me for not being motivated and unproductive; People like me would find these people pathetic. That's it. ”

Ai Nakano resonates very much, and when she was about to say a few words, she was stopped by the director.

"The truth of life is that you can talk about it when you drink at night, please!"

There was a lot of laughter in the studio.

The two also laughed together, and then peeled potatoes for potatoes and grilled fish for grilled fish.

As Yu Murakami sprinkled the seasoning, the aroma of grilled fish rippled.

The photographer swallows and focuses the camera.

The yellowish skin of the fish has beautiful folds, and the seasoning is evenly spread on it, red and brown.

From time to time, grease drips into the grill, and when the fire is hot, the sizzle gets louder.

Ai Nakano soaked the potatoes in the water and leaned over to look at them.

"Want to eat?" Yu Murakami asked.

"Is it okay now?"

"It's all the two of us eating anyway, when can't we?" Yu Murakami took a fish to her with chopsticks.

Ai Nakano looked at the steaming fish, "tasted" it for the audience in front of the camera as usual, and then gently ate the golden slightly burnt, slightly wrinkled fish skin with her lips into her mouth.

"Hmm-" she looked satisfied, "Murakami-kun, you can eat one too, it's delicious!" ”

"Okay."

"If you have one more, give it to someone else." As soon as Ai Nakano finished saying this, all the staff looked at her.

Three episodes of the show, plus this four episodes, every time they drooled while filming, they wanted to eat but couldn't eat - not even the rest.

"Please try it." Ai Nakano gave the extra grilled fish to the female staff member who spoke just now.

After the female staff whispered thanks, she first took pictures from all angles, and then in the eyes of others {I'm embarrassed to speak, but please leave me a little}, one person ate it all.

After eating, she swallowed the chopsticks until they had no taste, and then reluctantly took them out.

This kind of food is something that only those who eat it regularly will be willing to share it with others.

Ai Nakano used to like to eat grilled food, but now after eating grilled fish, the addiction suddenly comes up.

"Murakami-kun, why don't we have barbecue this time?"

"Barbecue?"

"Yes, you see, there's eggplant, potatoes, pork belly, and wagyu beef," she pointed to every ingredient she said, really like a child, "how about we roast these and stir-fry a bowl of rice to match my coffee?" ”

Just to say, Ai Nakano herself has already shown an expression that can't wait.

It is very rare to see such a cute and lively Ai Nakano.

The director didn't say anything to stop it, so Yu Murakami said, "Anything." ”

"Then let's get started~! I'll take care of the ingredients that need to be processed for you first, then you grill and fry the rice, and I'll brew the coffee! ”

Next, Murakami chops things on the cutting board for a while, sprinkling spices and tumbling ingredients in front of the grill.

Like a percussion player, every movement is agile and accurate, and at the same time, it seems to be at ease.

The director and other staff members watched this scene with fascination at the combination of life and art.

"I've washed everything that should be washed, and I'll leave it to you, Murakami-kun~" Ai Nakano flicked her fingers that made her nails and sprinkled the water droplets on it.

"Okay." Yuu Murakami.

Ai Nakano began to prepare to brew coffee, using the tools prepared in advance by the production team.

While grinding coffee beans, she asked, "Murakami-kun, do you have any tips for cooking so well?" In other words, what is the most important thing in the preparation of food? ”

"Let's not talk about the basics such as ingredients and knife skills, but the most important thing is to like it." Yu Murakami said.

"So Murakami-kun, you like cooking?"

"I don't like it."

"Eh......" Ai Nakano's action of grinding coffee beans stopped, "Then what did you mean by what you said before, [the main thing is to like]?" ”

"Whether you have talent or not is another matter."

"Well...... Do you think I'm talented in coffee? ”

"Yes." When the pork belly in Murakami's hand "pia" sounded, the oil exploded, and the firelight reflected the potatoes and eggplants very beautifully.

Ai Nakano continued to grind coffee beans, her posture was more casual and natural, and she looked very hand-in-hand: "Aside from talent, what is the most important thing if you want to learn to cook well?" ”

Murakami thought about it and brushed through the vocabulary.

"I have an incomparable love for cooking, empathy for the guests, and the mentality that the guests are likely to have been in the car for a long time and come to eat the dishes you make, if you can do this, even if you don't do it at the beginning, it will not be bad in the future."

"In short, you have to have love for your guests, right?" Ai Nakano concluded.

"That's right......"

"Mm-hmm, I understand, that's all for this topic, let's talk about other things."

"Anything else?"

"It's a rare opportunity, read the audience's letters, right? How? ”

"Everything."

Ai Nakano took a letter first, spread it out on the table, and then read it while grinding coffee beans.

"Thank you [Kazuki Kazuke] Sang for the letter, oh~, Murakami-kun, this audience is so familiar."

"Well, since our debut, she has always supported us, and I have read a lot of her letters on various broadcasts."

"When Suzune and I host the radio, she sends us letters. Let's see what she wrote this time.

[Yoyo, Nakano-san, hello. 】

Hello!

[When I heard that Nakano-san was a guest on "Murakami Cafeteria" this time, I immediately wrote this email, hoping to be adopted. 】

Thanks, already reading hello~

[The food made by Yoyo is very delicious at first glance, and now every day when I eat, I open the video and eat while watching! I'm so envious that Nakano-san can eat the dishes made by Yoyo himself every day]

Hahaha, it's really delicious~

[I also went to see the event that the two and other voice actors attended at the end of September, and the two sang so well! ] The dubbing is also amazing! Looking forward to the next work of the two! 】

Thank you. Murakami-kun, how do you feel? ”

"How do I feel?" Murakami was stunned for a moment, "What do you feel?" ”

Ai Nakano couldn't help but laugh helplessly, and said coquettishly: "People have always supported us, thank you!" ”

"That's how it feels." Yu Murakami was still wondering how he could feel if the other party didn't ask questions, "Thank you for your support." ”

"[Catsuke] San, I'm really sorry." Ai Nakano folded her hands in front of the camera, "Murakami-kun is usually such a dull person in life, but I always remember you, please continue to support us!" ”

……

In the behavior mode of Hua Luogeng's law of boiling water, which has been maintained by Yu Murakami, the barbecue and fried rice are done at the same time.

On the other side, Ai Nakano also brewed coffee after reading three letters.

Both of them moved their things to the table.

"I'm moving."

The two of them, who had not eaten lunch, picked up the spoon at the same time, dug a spoonful at the same angle in their respective fried rice, and then put it into their mouths in no particular order, and finally put down the spoon at the same time.

The rest of the studio burst into applause.

Ai Nakano smiled at them inexplicably and confusedly, and then turned to Yu Murakami and said:

"Murakami-kun, the next step is the pricing link, right? How much do the previous guests price for your dishes? Say it and let me refer to it. ”

"It's 10,000 yen."

"Yes." Ai Nakano nodded approvingly.

"Takahashi-san is willing to take out all the money on him."

"And how much money did she carry that day?"

"Three thousand yen."

"Hahaha~, Minami-chan is so cute!"

"Uchiten Truth-san, bid fifteen thousand yen."

"It's so high. Kindness...... How much should I price? Thinking about it, Ai Nakano put another piece of pork belly on top of the golden fried rice, and then put it in her mouth together: "Well, it's delicious!" ”

She puffed out her cheeks slightly and chewed freely.

Yu Murakami prefers vegetarian food, so he stares at the potatoes that are roasted out of the yellow hard shell.

Either way, it goes well with fried rice.

"I've decided!" Ai Nakano ate two more spoonfuls of fried rice, a piece of wagyu beef, "Six thousand yen!" ”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Yu Murakami and explained, "Considering the cost, that's why I set this price." And the guests are all voice actors who often work together, so it can't be too expensive. ”

"If it's 6,000 yen, how much do you owe me to Sakura and Higashiyama so far?"

"Do you want to give money?!"

"Of course."

"Well...... How much do you think my coffee is worth? ”

"Want to use this to pay off your debts?"

"That's right!" Nakano Aiyi smiled, "Maybe you still owe me money!" ”

"About 3,000 yen." In order not to make this statement seem fake, Yu Murakami drank two sips of coffee for up to 200 yen.

"I'm only half of yours. I'll have to continue to work hard in the future, maybe it'll be as powerful as Yuzi-chan! When the time comes, you will be able to pay off your debts. ”

Yu Murakami nodded: "Come on." ”

"By the way, Murakami-kun, the two of us will do it together, if we launch a package, how much will it cost?"

"Ten thousand?"

"Why? Shouldn't the package be cheaper? Forget it, I'll leave these questions until we open a store together. Ai Nakano waved at the camera, "That's all for today, thank you for your hospitality~"

Yu Murakami nodded at the camera.

After two or three seconds.

"Murakami-kun!"

Yuya Murakami had no choice but to wave his hand stupidly: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

"Hahaha~, I'm sorry, everyone." Ai Nakano smiled and apologized to the camera.
