Miyamura Towa’s Advices

“I see! So Master-san wants more customers to visit your shop right!”

.

.

With her eyes sparkling, Eien-chan enthusiastically gets on board.

“Let’s se~e.” she said as she looked around the shop.

.

.

“As I thought, these days it has to be an Animal Cafe, Master-san.”

“Hou, that sounds interesting. Even Hideyori-kun and Sakuya couldn’t come up with that.”

“Hey, your father is badmouthing us, you know.”

“I’m ashamed with such a father.”

“That’s rich coming from you two alright! Compared to Hideyori-kun and Sakuya, my mouth’s still much better, okay!?”

“Ahaha….., let’s all get along…….”

.

.

Even with Eien-chan here, we are still bickering as usual…….

.

.

“Cat cafes and Dog cafes are popular with young girls these days you know.”

“Alright, let’s go with that.”

“That’s not something you get to decide okay, Hideyori-kun? You’re probably aiming for the young girls anyway right?”

“I’m a young girl too. Ehem.”

“That’s not something you should brag about you know, Sakuya……”

.

.

Master and Eien-chan didn’t let up on the retorts.

.

“But if Master’s parents were the ones who set up this shop, as Oba-san’s son, I should have some say in this right?”

“He does.”

“Even Sakuya doesn’t have the right to decide here okay? The decision is mine alone.”

.

.

Sakuya was crying “No way! No way!” but Master didn’t budge.

.

.

“But……..there’s already a Cat cafe in front of the station though………”

“Then how about doing a Dog cafe, Master-san?”

“I’m not good with dogs, you see. They bark a lot.”

“I love dogs. Let’s do a Dog cafe.”

“Never.”

.

.

It seems Master is absolutely against Dog cafe.

Since it looks like he really can’t handle dogs, it would be unreasonable to push for it.

.

.

“Fufufu, Master-san. I know a good animal that will surely be very popular, you know?”

“What? Is that true, Miyamura-san?”

“Yes. I’m sure people will flood this place if you market it.”

.

.

It seems Eien-chan has something that she absolutely wants to suggest.

Still, even though he actively swats down my and Sakuya’s suggestions, isn’t he too enthusiastic to hear Eien-chan’s opinion?

.

.

“And that animal is………A PANDA! Let’s do a Panda cafe! This is the age of Panda, Master-san!”

“That’s impossible. This place is not a zoo, okay.”

“Ehhh!? But pandas are cute, you know!?”

“In the first place, is it even legal for an individual to own a panda?”

.

.

…………Eien-chan being spontaneous is so cute.

So Eien-chan likes pandas huh!

Even her preference is cute!

.

.

“…….Hideyori’s face is getting irritating.”

.

.

This is good to know. Maybe I can set up a date for Takeru so he can go see the pandas with Eien-chan huh?

.

.

“Hideyori! I still want to run a coffee shop with you though.”

“…….I mean, that’s impossible right.”

“Hideyori-san, what kind of animal do you like!?”

“…….penguins.”

“Let’s do a Penguin cafe! Master-san!”

“Yes, Penguin Cafe! Master! Hideyori and I are going to do a Penguin cafe together!”

“Denied.”

.

.

And thus the topic of how to liven up Master’s coffee shop concluded with no decision being made.

Well, I expected it to end up like this from the start.

Still, I think that Master who could say [But I’m glad I get to hear your opinions] at the end despite how much we fooled around is truly a saint.

I will never say that out loud though.

.

.

”Hideyori-san, let’s go see pandas and penguins together next time!”

“Let’s go! That sounds like fun, Eien-chan.”

“Me too, let’s tour some famous coffee shops together, Hideyori.”

“Sure! I’m looking forward to that, Sakuya.”

“………eh? So in the end all that only amounted to more date plans for Hideyori-kun!?”

.

.

Eien-chan and Sakuya invited me out.

They probably have been studying a lot for the exam so as someone who was exempted from it, this should be a way for me to help Eien-chan and Sakuya to relieve their stress.

.

And while we were chatting……

.

.

“Hello! I’m here, Hideyori-kun!”

“Hiya! Good afternoon everyone.”

“Good afternoon! StarChild is really going to be here right!? I’m looking forward to meeting her!”

“I only came because I was free though.”

“I’m looking forward to meeting StarCha too! Hello!”

.

.

Emi, Takerus, Risa, Madoka, and Nodoka. My usual group of friends has gathered at the shop.

.

.

“What a coincidence, Sakuya. I was thinking the same thing.”

“There’s no way right!? Also, don’t you have any pride as the Master here!?”

.

.

I denied Sakuya and Master’s scary prophetic words.

This is strange.

At first, it was only me since I came here for my coffee but I never expected it to become a place where so many of my acquaintances would gather like this…….

.

.

“Hey, afternoon. Master, Hideyori………wait, you called this many!?”

“Ah, Tatsuyuki-san. Come to think of it, I did invite a lot of people huh.”

“Normie huh…….” (TLN: the exact word he used here is Riajuu)

.

.

Tatsuyuki-san gives me a wry smile.

“This is my master/instructor Tatsuyuki-san. He does a lot of things.”

Aside from myself, Sakuya, and Master, no one here knows Tatsyuyuki-san so I introduced him.

And after we were done with the introduction, Tatsuyuki-san secretly called out to me.

.

.

“You have a lot of girl friends huh, Hideyori? Make sure to pick one okay.”

“It’s okay. I don’t plan to date anyone among them after all.”

“Somehow that sounds amazing in its own way huh…….”

.

.

Since everyone here is aiming for Takeru, there’s nothing I can do about it anyway.

Even if I try to show off, it would just come out as lame after all.
