Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Starting Today as a Coffee Shop Owner

On the weekend, Shirakawa Sawahei was wearing a waiter’s uniform in a warmly decorated family restaurant, customarily doing his part-time job.

This was a job he found during the stage where he crossed over with nothing to his name. The boss was very nice and agreed to advance his salary when he could barely afford to eat.

If it weren’t for this boss, Shirakawa Sawahei’s initial stage might have been quite tough.

He is someone who knows how to be grateful, so even though he now has a scholarship to alleviate the financial pressure, he didn’t quit the job. Instead, he switched his working hours to the restaurant’s busiest weekends for his part-time job.

During this time, it’s usually the busiest, with much more work than usual. The boss offered to give him a raise, but he refused.

Repay kindness with kindness and repay grievances with straightforwardness.

He needed money, but he wouldn’t violate his own principles for a little money.

What’s more, this amount of work isn’t much for Shirakawa Sawahei, who has exceptional physical attributes.

"Mr. Shirakawa, the set meal for the guest at table two is ready, please take it over."

"Okay."

Shirakawa Sawahei skillfully picked up the plate and walked towards table two.

"Excuse me, here’s your grilled meat set meal, please enjoy."

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

The voice from behind sounded somewhat familiar, but Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t think much of it and turned back politely, "Is there something you need?"

"Hey, hey, Mr. Shirakawa, you wouldn’t fail to recognize me so soon, would you?" Hinata Rion tilted her head, the silver star earrings on her earlobes gleaming brightly.

"We just saw each other a few days ago, I actually have quite a deep impression of Mr. Shirakawa."

"Miss Hinata, is there something you need?"

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t have much time to chat idly with this Chief Painter, a lot of customers were waiting for him to take orders and serve dishes.

"No, just a bit surprised to see Mr. Shirakawa working part-time here~ But I heard from Jin that Mr. Shirakawa helps her with tutoring and gets paid for it."

"Mr. Shirakawa, are you really that short on money?"

"Something like that." Shirakawa Sawahei replied perfunctorily: "My family is quite poor."

"I see." Hinata Rion said with a solemn respect: "A scholar from a humble background!"

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work first..."

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Shirakawa."

This time, the voice calling him came from a middle-aged man with a beard.

He was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a gentle face.

Usually, when men grow beards, it looks a bit unkempt, but his beard was very neatly trimmed. It made him look very charming.

Store manager Enheikou walked in from outside, smiled gently, and said, "Take a break first, Mr. Shirakawa, there’s something I want to talk to you about."

"What about the store..."

"For the store, let’s trouble Mr. Fumura for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei nodded.

"Wow. No way, Uncle Ahang, the promising young man you were talking about is Mr. Shirakawa." Hinata Rion pointed at Shirakawa Sawahei, surprised.

Huh? What promising young man?

Shirakawa Sawahei’s expression slightly changed.

This... this situation...

Could it be that the manager thinks I’m handsome and wants to arrange a matchmaking with me!?

Looking at Hinata Rion’s age, she seems to be at the matchmaking stage... but she’s several years older than me...

This wave, this wave wouldn’t be the old cow eating young grass, would it?

If Chief Painter Hinata Rion knew what Shirakawa Sawahei was thinking, she would definitely pounce on him furiously to go down with him.

What matchmaking! I’m still very young, right! Besides, my limited life is dedicated to the infinite career of Minotaurs conquering the world.

The trivial matters of romance greatly affect my worldly travels, okay.

"Yes indeed... Rion, you’ve already met Mr. Shirakawa?" Enheikou asked curiously.

"We’ve met, although he seems to be a student... might not be very suitable..."

"Being a student isn’t an issue. The laws in Neon aren’t very strict about that, as long as the age isn’t too young."

Shirakawa Sawahei’s face changed dramatically.

Whoa, they’re definitely discussing matchmaking here!

Talking about laws... it’s not good to marry so early...

I don’t even want to partner with the study system, and this Minotaur Artist wants to get on the car first and then buy a ticket, this is too outrageous!

I can hold it, Hayakawa Kashi can’t hold it, okay!

He couldn’t help but voice, "What are the two of you talking about, in what regard?"

Enheikou nodded in understanding and explained with a smile, "I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet, Mr. Shirakawa."

"Rion is the daughter of a dear friend of mine. She recently wants to open a café, so she wants to find some staff. I found that Mr. Shirakawa works very earnestly and is quite suitable, so I recommended you to her."

Shirakawa Sawahei immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness... thank goodness, it’s not matchmaking.

For some reason, Hinata Rion suddenly felt herself subjected to some mysterious insult.

She held her chin, somewhat regretfully saying, "Actually, I originally wanted to open a beer tavern."

"I even thought of the name, it would be called 5Tap~ I’d use the stage name Sahara~"

"..."

Don’t think that just changing to a desert name will work. People might sue you for copyright infringement, okay.

"But after thinking it through, although that would be more literary, I actually prefer things like the second dimension, so switching to a café would be more appropriate."

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated and asked, "Do you know how to make coffee?"

"No."

"How much do you know about coffee?"

"Does a maid café count?"

"What’s your favorite coffee to drink?"

"Sugar-free ice and cat latte art, combined, that’s my favorite hopeful coffee!"

"..."

Confirmed, this person knows nothing about coffee.

He couldn’t help but glance at Hinata Rion. This Minotaur Artist, who was a comic book shop owner yesterday, suddenly wants to turn into a café owner today.

The leap is too big, not to mention she still carries the title of a Minotaur Artist.

Are artists such a breed with imaginative and capricious minds?

No matter how you think, it feels magical, right.

Shirakawa Sawahei doesn’t know about others, but what he can be sure of is that this Minotaur Artist’s family must be quite wealthy.

The store being opened just like that, it’s too dismissive of us working stiffs, right.

"This is a bit of a personal request, it would be great if Mr. Shirakawa could agree." Enheikou sincerely said.

If it were someone else, Shirakawa Sawahei would outright refuse, but since these words came from the mouth of this kind store manager, he couldn’t help but hesitate.

"I don’t know much about coffee either."

"That’s okay. That’s not important." Enheikou said with a smile.

"I have always found Mr. Shirakawa to be a very earnest and excellent person, and excellent people will always shine with their own light, wherever they are."

"I believe Mr. Shirakawa, you will certainly be able to help Rion achieve her dreams."

Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated briefly, then nodded in agreement.
