Chapter 1: The Coffee Shop Owner

Next Chapter

"Hey, did you hear that? That amazing coffee shop. ”

"Oh, the elegant vampire's coffee shop that can grant a wish with just three cups of coffee in a row?"

"What vampires? Apparently it was opened by a wizard. ”

"I heard that there are Taoist priests from Huaxia, and some say that they are demons or angels."

"Hahahaha......"

Neon girls seem to be particularly fond of this type of urban legend, perhaps because in this era, entertainment methods are still relatively scarce.

But if you really encounter a supernatural event, maybe one will scream louder than the other, and maybe one will run faster than the other.

Tokyo, as a modern, cosmopolitan metropolis, has a lot going on every day.

And some of these things, after being spread by falsehood, will become urban legends that make it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

There are even legends in some schools, such as running mannequins and the like.

Some of these are fabricated out of thin air, and some are the result of exaggerated facts and artistic processing.

For many people, discussing urban legends is just entertainment to pass the time, and few people will really believe in the existence of legends, and no one will want to explore the truth.

So, the coffee shop is there, but no one has tried it.

It was a coffee shop in Rice Flower Town 5-chome.

The café was opened on the first floor of a small three-story building.

On the second floor, there is an office.

Māori Detective Agency.

It's a little-known firm, and it's basically only known to its neighbors, and it's rare to have any commissions.

The owner of this office is named "Mori Kogoro".

Mori Kogoro, male, 38 years old, bearded, suit-wearing uncle.

He used to be a criminal policeman, but later left the police force for some reason and opened a detective agency here to make a living.

Although this is said, because it is not famous, it is rare to receive commissions, and even if it does, most of them are trivial things.

The small three-story building where the office is located belongs to Kogoro Mori.

The second floor is the office of the detective agency, the third floor is where he and his daughter live, and as for his wife, she is currently in a state of separation.

Mori Ran, the daughter of Mori Kogoro, is a girls' high school student who attends Teitan High School.

It looks a little weak on the surface, but it's actually very strong.

And she is also a karate master, not a weak woman, and is the winner of the national high school karate Kanto competition, that is, the champion.

Currently, the father and daughter live here.

There was also a little boy who just came out of nowhere two days ago.

It is the existence of a schoolboy who writes Edogawa Conan as a Grim Reaper, and his appearance means that Mori Kogoro will soon become a detective, and it also means the beginning of the plot.

What's the plot?

In this world, no one knows.

However, in the other world, there are many people who know it, because the things in this world are just the plot of a manga and an animation.

Many people have watched it, so many people know the plot.

But in this world, no one knows.

No, nor can it be said that there is no one.

There is no shortage in the world of all kinds of accidents.

Because of a little accident, a person who originally did not belong to this world appeared in this world.

It was a teenager, a seventeen-year-old boy who came from Huaxia and said that he was studying abroad in Neon.

He rented a storefront on the first floor and opened a coffee shop.

Its name is "Nai He Qiao" coffee shop, and the signature coffee is called "Meng Po Soup".

Very strange name.

The boy's name is also strange, called "Qingming".

Qingming, Nai He Bridge, Meng Po Soup, this will make people think of not very good things.

Anyone who understands Chinese culture can understand that if you don't understand, you will only think that these three names are strange.

Why does a coffee shop have such a strange name?

And the name of the coffee is even stranger.

Not only is the name strange, but the taste is also strange.

It is said that it was personally concocted by the owner "Qingming", which contains all the strange smells and surpasses all the strange smells.

All in all, it's hard to get into your throat, and it basically squirts out as soon as you put it in your mouth.

It's a taste that is indescribable in words, and if I really want to say it, there are only two words: unpleasant.

If I had to describe it specifically, it would be: it is very difficult to drink.

If I had to be more specific, it would be very unpleasant.

To put it bluntly, it is estimated that there will never be a more difficult drink than this in this life.

It's just such a coffee, but it exists as a signature.

Even outside the store, there is a sign with relevant introductions.

Perhaps there is only one sentence that impresses people the most: one cup of refreshment, two cups of never fatigue, and three cups of immortality.

Whether it can never get tired and live forever, no one knows.

Anyway, it's really okay to refresh your mind.

No matter how tired a person is, as long as he takes a sip, he will immediately become refreshed because of the indescribable taste.

Not only does it taste bad, but it also looks bad.

Dark green, bubbling with bubbles, as if it was a strange potion concocted by those old witches in Western legends.

So except for the time when it started, no one bought this coffee.

It's just that in this world, is there such a witch?

No one really knows that.

Qingming didn't know either.

Qingming is the owner of the coffee shop, and he is also the person who appeared because of an accident, and knows the existence of most things.

What is it that makes this world ......

Needless to say, it can be summed up in just two words: crossing.

It's a beautiful word, because it represents a myriad of possibilities, and it's a way of being that many people fantasize about.

Qingming came to this world many years ago, but it was half a year ago that he came here to open a coffee shop.

Because when I was in Huaxia, I suddenly found that there was a very famous mystery novelist on the neon side, called Kudo Yusaku or something, and there was also a young detective who was starting to be active, called Kudo Shinichi or something.

And then he came.

As a person who knows a lot of things, it might be interesting to come over and see it for yourself.

So I rented a store at Kogoro Mori and opened a coffee shop.

And then that kind of urban legend is also emanated.

Yes, the first urban legend was first spread by himself.

As long as he can drink three cups of "Meng Po Soup" in a row, he can fulfill one of the other party's wishes.

He is capable of doing a lot of things because he is not an average person.

That's right, he is in the second year of Didan High School, Class B.

This is the same class as Maorilan, plus I rent a Maori family's house, and I've been here for half a year, so I'm quite familiar with each other.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he is really not an ordinary person, but a Taoist priest.

Yes, it is a Taoist priest, who can draw talismans and refine medicines, exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, curses, etc., and so on.

Although he can't wave his hand to turn over the clouds and rain and stomp his feet to the extent of a landslide, it is certain that he has an unusual ability.

It is precisely because of this that there is such a legend.

Although so far, he has not met anyone who can drink three cups of "Meng Po Soup" in a row, and he has not even been able to insist on drinking a bowl.

But it doesn't matter, it's just for fun.

Even coffee shops are open because they think it's fun.

Because of this, you can introduce yourself by saying, "I'm a coffee shop owner."

Maid Cafe.
