The old man bowed solemnly to the departing people, his listeners, as if he were in the highest temple of music.

It was the standard etiquette of a large concert, and the old man did it meticulously around the corner of the alley.

And when there were not many people who had already walked about the same, Aoba also took a few steps forward to the old man's side, and put a few small denomination bills into the piano case.

It's not that Aoba doesn't want to give the old man more money, but if he does, it may be an insult to the old man.

He's just performing his piano here, not begging for alms, so Aoba just gives him some money like the rest of the people.

It's just that after putting down the banknotes, Aoba didn't leave in a hurry.

"It's the first time I've heard such a beautiful violin, and you've made me interested in the violin, thank you!" Aoba said with a smile to the old man.

"Yes? It's my pleasure. When the old man heard what Aoba said, he immediately became happy, obviously being able to make a person interested in the violin from now on because of his piano sound, which was more than how much money he had made.

"So, I wish you a good mood today. Aoba gestured to the old man and said.

"I wish you a good mood too. The old man said the same.

Then Aoba turned around and left ∴ place, heading for a café not far away.

And behind him, Aoba just left, and then the old man's melodious violin sound again, Aoba didn't know what kind of song this was, and he didn't know if it was a world-famous song, but this music was able to penetrate people's hearts, so that Aoba was briefly shaken, whether to stop and listen to this song before leaving.

Immediately Aoba shook his head self-deprecatingly, I have heard a good tune today, and that is enough.

It's like a good pot of tea. The first cup is a tasting, the second is a thirst-quenching cup, and the third cup is a donkey drink.

The cow chews the peony, and the green leaves can't do it yet, so I'll leave the next one for tomorrow to listen to, but I just hope that the old man will still be here tomorrow.

Thinking so, Aoba left the corner where the old man was and came to the cute cat café not far away.

At this time, there were already people in the café, and Aoba pushed open the door with a sign that was closed, and saw Cat Mei Mai who was taking care of the cats.

"Aoba-kun, you're here. The cat looked up and saw the green leaves coming in. So he paused his hand and greeted with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Mei Yi, are you here to feed them again?, okay, you can go on!" Aoba looked at the cat and Mei Yi who had stopped feeding because she was talking to herself, and was surrounded by the cats in the blink of an eye, so she waved her hand and said with a smile.

"The kids still eat in the morning, so I come back in the afternoon and feed them as early as possible, so that they can be fed later in the evening, and that's three meals a day. The cat explained as she hurriedly continued to feed.

"Since they're all adult cats, two meals a day is enough, right?" asked Aoba, puzzled.

"Yes! Normally, two meals a day is enough. Maybe it's because I'm used to feeding them three meals, and these children get hungry easily, so I've been feeding them three meals. Cat Yayi replied a little embarrassed.

"I see!" Aoba smiled as she walked past Cat and Mei to the back of the bar. While tidying up the things behind the bar, he asked, "Do you want a cup of coffee?"

"After a while? Ami-chan has a student council job, so it's going to be late!, but if I'm not mistaken. Natsu and Fukiyuki are from the same school as Aoba-kun, right?Why didn't you come here together?," the cat asked in confusion.

"Yes! Natsu is not a member of the student council like Ami, but she actually has much more power than the student council in our school, so she has a lot more work! So it's a lot later to come. Aoba explained.

"Is Mai-chan coming over too?" the cat suddenly became curious.

"Of course, the café doesn't have to be open until what time! Leaving Mai alone at home, how can Blowing Snow rest assured! And let Mai come to the café by herself, Blowing Snow is also not at ease! Before, when Mai and Ai-chan came over together and went to school together to feed the little rabbits, didn't something happen? Although Mai was fine later, Blowing Snow was still very worried, so this time Blowing Snow went home to pick her up. Aoba explained.

"I see!" the cat nodded clearly.

"Mei Yi-chan, do you want to drink coffee?" looked at the cat and Mei forgot the question he asked at the beginning, so he had to ask again.

"Ah, I'm sorry, of course I'm going to drink it, thank you, Aoba-kun. Cat Mei Yi immediately reacted and said.

"You're welcome. Aoba smiled faintly.

Then the cat continued to feed the cats, while Aoba cleaned the tools, took out the coffee beans, and began to brew coffee.

In between brewing coffee, Aoba turned on the stereo that had just been added to the store a few days ago, and a smooth and elegant piano music slowly sounded.

Time passed silently until the silence was broken by the next person who pushed open the door.

"Welcome, cute cat café!" said as the door was pushed open by the stranger, and Mei Yi immediately stood up and said with a professional smile.

And in front of the cat and Mei Yi, there is still the coffee that Aoba has just brewed for her, and at the same time, Aoba has just poured herself a cup of coffee and is about to drink it.

"Aoba-kun? The man looked at Aoba behind the bar and said with a smile.

That's right, this person is Kue Ichisaku, the guide of the second new Tokyo, and Aoba once invited Kue Ichisaku to come to the café to sit down and have a cup of coffee.

"It's been a while, I haven't seen you in a while, welcome. Aoba put down the coffee cup and welcomed with a smile.

"Hey, is it an acquaintance of Aoba-kun?" asked the cat and Mei curiously.

"Yes, Miss Youkai. Kue Ichisaku greeted the cat Mei Yi in a very friendly manner.

"Oops, how do you know I'm a youkai?"

"Miss Youkai's aura is very hidden, but it just so happens that my profession is a doctor, so it's easy to see. Kueichi explained with a smile

"Don't worry, Mei Yi-chan, he's not an enemy, at least not for the time being, so there's no need to be nervous. Aoba said as she soothed the cat and Mei Yi.

"Yes, I'm not your enemy yet, but whether it will be in the future, I can't say. Kuju Kazusaku said with the same smile.

"What do you two mean?Aoba-kun, will this person be an enemy in the future?"

"Who knows! There are no absolutes in the world, and today's friends may be tomorrow's enemies, not because we hate each other, but simply because we maintain different beliefs, isn't it? Aoba said with a smile.

"yes, but at least we're friends now, right?" said Kue-Kazusaku with the same smile.

"That's right, so come over for a cup of coffee! I just made it, and it's a coincidence you're here." Aoba invited with a smile.

"Aoba-kun said that he wanted to teach me how to make delicious coffee. Kue Kazusaku walked to the bar and sat down across from Aoba.

"Of course, no problem, but I don't have much experience in teaching people, so you can watch how I brew it for a while, ask questions if you don't understand, and then try to brew it yourself! As he spoke, Aoba poured the rest of the coffee he had just brewed for himself and Mei Mamata for Kuju.

Because it is intended to be a drink for two or three people, it is okay to make a cup.

"Thank you Aoba-kun! Since the last time I drank the coffee made by Aoba-kun, although I like to drink coffee, but it is becoming more and more unbearable for the coffee I brewed, and today I can finally drink the coffee made by Aoba-kun, congratulations, congratulations!" Kue-ichisaku picked up the coffee cup and sniffed it lightly, and said with a smile on his face.

"For me, that's the highest compliment, thank you!" Aoba also picked up the coffee cup in his hand, raised his glass, and then took a sip lightly.

"Well, that's the taste, it's great!" said Kue Kazusaku with a look of enjoyment after taking a sip of coffee as well.

"Ichisakun came over today, is there anything else besides looking for me to catch up?" Aoba asked lightly after putting down the coffee cup.

"I'm here to find Aoba-kun today, of course, just to catch up!" said Kue Kazusaku with a shrug, looking like the friendship between us could be mixed with foreign things.

"Really, if you insist, then we'll just talk about the old days today. Aoba replied with a similar shrug.

"Okay!Aoba-kun, you won, in addition to catching up on the old days, I still have some things I want to ask Aoba-kun for a favor! Don't worry, it's just a small favor. Jiuju Ichisaku spread his hands, saying that he was not pretending, but completely confessed.

If it's not troublesome, it's not impossible to help, but if it's too troublesome, the most annoying thing for me is trouble. Aoba said he could consider it.

"It's actually very simple, I want to ask Aoba-kun to be the guide of the second new Tokyo for me for a while, how about it?" said Kue's Ichisaku lightly. (To be continued......)
