A new day.

A coffee shop is a magical place that doesn't change over time.

There is an urban legend about coffee shops that Qingming deliberately spreads: as long as you drink three cups of coffee, the owner will help make a wish come true.

This urban legend is quite widespread.

And then the eggs.

There are very few people who believe in this urban legend; Even fewer people can find the Nai Ho Bridge coffee shop; And there are not many people who can drink three cups of Meng Po soup coffee in a row.

Qingming didn't mind.

Anyway, the purpose is just to trap people, not to be a savior to help others do this and that.

It's a thankless task.

Therefore, Qingming, who doesn't think about anything, doesn't have much trouble.

Every day, I sit at the counter of the coffee shop, read novels, draw rune papers, and flirt with Azusa Enomoto.

Ordinary life.

Then think about whether you should change the layout.

For example, turning the counter into a "lookout platform", placing a large stone with the word "Sanseigoku" written on it next to the door, and placing some potted plants with flowers from the other side in the store.

Maybe you can get a waterway and a small boat from the door to the seat, and add a blank high school girl in a black sailor suit, saying things like "This hatred and resentment will go to hell".

But just think about it.

The area of the coffee shop is so large, and now it is a little insufficient, and it is impossible to make such a layout.

And there are no high school girls like that.

"Well, maybe at twelve o'clock tonight, you can use the computer to try it and see if you can get in touch?"

Qingming looked at the computer, thoughtful.

Azusa Enomoto, who was wiping the table, looked at the counter and shrugged.

The owner, it's a little inexplicable again.

Then get back to work.

……

It's been a bit cool lately.

However, the temperature in the afternoon is more suitable.

It's not school time yet, and there are no high school students, junior high school students, or elementary school students hanging out on the streets.

The street has never been very lively.

That's why the business of the coffee shop is so bad, and it basically only relies on regular customers to support it.

"Sure enough, we should send out more flyers!"

Azusa Enomoto sighed.

At this time, she stood there against the counter, looking at the door of the store, then at Qingming, and then at the door.

But it didn't walk in as many guests as she expected.

"Shopkeeper, is it really good to go on like this?"

She asked again.

Unlike Qingming, she is still more concerned about turnover and the like.

Even if you don't talk about it.

"There have been no guests, and I am embarrassed to get such a high salary if it goes on like this, after all, I don't have any job."

"Salary?"

Qingqing, who was flipping through the novel, raised his head and looked at Azusa Enomoto.

In his eyes, there seemed to be a little doubt.

"What salary?"

“……”

How so......

"Isn't that what you pay me every month?"

"That's wages?"

Qingming's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Isn't that a monthly fee?"

“…… Ha? Wrap your head! ”

Enomoto Zi snatched the novel from Qingming's hand and threw it at him again.

But it was easy to be caught by Qingming.

So he snorted coldly.

Qingming shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.

"Then it's okay to have pocket money, as the master, but I give you pocket money as a maid, anyway, your whole person is mine, and we are our own people."

"I ......"

Azusa Enomoto was about to retort a few words.

However, the sound of "ding" indicates that a guest has come in.

Swinging his small fist at Qingming, as if warning Qingming.

Then put on a smile and walk over.

"Welcome."

It was a girl who came in.

A young girl, in her early twenties, quite beautiful.

She was followed by a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties in a suit.

Two people came together.

"Please follow me."

Walking in with someone, the two of them chose a window position.

But only the girl sat down, and the middle-aged man didn't sit down, just stood aside.

It seems that it should be a role like a housekeeper.

So that girl is a rich or powerful lady?

It doesn't matter.

"What do you need?"

Azusa Enomoto brought the menu to the girl.

The girl took it and looked at it.

He looked at Azusa Enomoto again.

"Have a cup of Meng Po soup coffee."

“…… Huh? Meng Po soup? ”

No one ordered this for a long time, so Enomoto Azusa couldn't react all of a sudden.

After reacting, his eyes widened again.

Meng Po Soup ......

That's Meng Po soup coffee, this girl actually wants Meng Po soup coffee?

If you look closely, you're not impressed.

It seems that it is a first-time guest, so it is not surprising that I don't know.

Should I be reminded?

No, no, if you remind you, you will definitely be pulled into the toilet by Qingming in a minute.

After all, the meaning of the existence of Meng Po soup coffee is to trap people.

So it's still smiling.

"Hey, Meng Po soup and coffee, what else do you need?"

"No need."

"Hi, please wait."

Bow slightly, turn and leave.

I went to the counter first, said to Qingming, and then went to the back kitchen to work.

Qingming is also a little curious.

looked at the girl sitting in the seat, but because it was facing away from this side, she couldn't see her face, and she didn't look at it when she came in just now, so she didn't know what she looked like.

But I dare to ask for Meng Po soup coffee.

Who gave her courage? That Miss Liang gave it?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Ordering a cup of Meng Po soup and coffee is something that anyone can do, and the key is to see if you can drink it.

So Qingming didn't care too much about it and continued to read the novel.

Time passes slowly.

Long.

"What is this?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded, affecting Qingming, who was reading a novel.

Frowning, he looked up.

found that it was Enomoto Azusa who was holding coffee and was stopped, and the middle-aged man who was supposed to be the housekeeper looked angry.

"Can this also be called coffee? Are you trying to humiliate us on purpose? ”

"Sir, please calm down......"

"Go and change the coffee, or I'm going to complain about you, about your coffee shop."

"Mr. ......"

Azusa Enomoto carefully held the coffee.

The coffee was so miserable, dark green bubbling with bubbles, it looked disgusting like the water in the stinking gutter.

No wonder this middle-aged man was angry.

It's really coffee, though.

Grab your coffee, set it on the table, and explain it again.

She had to appease the housekeeper as soon as possible, or else......

There was a "bang" sound.

The cup containing the coffee of Meng Po soup fell to the ground.

It's not that Enomoto Azusa was careless, but that the housekeeper slapped her hand before she got it off.

The cup shattered, and the coffee spilled all over the floor.

"It's over."

Azusa Enomoto felt a little helpless.

Then, Qingming had already appeared beside her, looking at the housekeeper with an expressionless face.

Mr. Butler also found out.

"You ......"

Pointing at Qingming, he seemed to want to say something.

However, it could not be spoken, but turned into a scream of "ah", and a "click" sound that seemed to be a bone break, muffled by the scream.

It's scary to listen to.

Then he was pinched by Qingming's neck, and the screams couldn't be screamed again.

Then he was dragged away.

Dragged to the door, threw it out, and closed the door.

He didn't want to come in for the rest of his life.

Coffee shops have coffee shop rules and do not welcome such shouting people.

It's okay to yell, and it's not his fault that he has this reaction when he sees coffee like that.

The fault was that he spilled the coffee, which is unforgivable.
