Chapter 14: Awakening of Moe Sound (3)

  Tokyo, Nerima-ku, Asahigaoka, Neneko's Coffee Shop.

  "What? President, how did you come here?" Long Qiang was collecting the dinner table and just raised his head to see Tanaka Nana pushing open the coffee shop door, followed by her little son Jerry!

  The coffee shop is open from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with a two-shift system, the first shift being from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and the second shift from 4:00 PM to 12:00 PM, with an eight-hour workday. With thirty seats, exquisite decor, non-smoking and smoking areas, paper cups with lids, precisely controlled coffee quantities, a variety of fancy coffees, and soothing music, this series of distinctive business concepts, combined with the dual-store layout, quickly captured the hearts of Japanese citizens in Akakawa. Even though the price of coffee is 50 yen higher than that of Rodo Ron, Mina's Coffee Shop has been packed every day since its opening.

  Especially CosPy museum.

  In the first week, the CosPy cafe was themed around Detective Conan. All the staff were cosplaying as characters from the manga. Customers who made a purchase had the chance to answer riddles set by Aoyama Gosho and win special prizes such as limited edition Conan keychains, couple cups, and watches. These items may not be valuable but are exclusive to this cafe except for Menu's Coffee House. Collecting all 26 coffee cup marks from A to Z during the theme week also earned a signed poster by Aoyama Gosho. Additionally, the cafe invited Japan University Ten no Tsubasa to perform a Conan-themed CosPy show for free.

  Needless to say, all these "brilliant ideas" were thought up by a certain little guy!

  "Let me take a look! What's wrong? Ryūsaki-kun, no seats left?"

  Ryūsaki-kun made a bitter face. From 7 to 12 every night was CosPy's performance time, and it was also the busiest time for the café. If there were enough seats, I'm afraid that at least several hundred people would be seated inside CosPy. How could there possibly be any empty seats?

  Looking at Ryosuke's expression, Tanaka Nana also knew the answer. "Well, in that case, I'll have a cup of coffee with Jerry, to go!"

  "Hi!"

  At this moment, a little girl stood up from the crowd watching CosPy's performance. She was surprised to see Tanaka Kanna standing at the door and waved her hand, about to run over to greet her. However, she lost her balance and fell to the ground, spilling the coffee in her hands all over the place!

  The pain made the little girl open her mouth and cry out loud.

  This sudden accident interrupted the performance of Tianyi, and as the curator, Long Qiang immediately ran over, handed the coffee in his hand to the crying little girl, picked her up, comforted her with gentle words, and ordered the staff to quickly clean the floor to prevent anyone from slipping.

  This prompt action made Jerry very satisfied!

  After getting Tanaka Kanna's signature, this little episode ended quickly, but poor Tanaka Kanna had to sign more than 40 times again to calm down the bookworms and comic fans in the store!

  "It seems Miss Shizuko has trained you all quite well?"

  "Huh? What are you talking about, Jerry?"

  "I'm saying that Shizuko-san's training is going well, she's passing!" Jerry said, turning his head around, only to find Nagatani Mari, dressed in a similar suit like Satou Miwako (a character from Conan), standing right in front of him. "Hey, Ryousuke-kun, doesn't Mari-chan need to go to school? I know she's still a third-year high school student!"

  "Ah~ actually, Mokuren has already been accepted into the art department of a university in Japan, so she came to Tokyo and wants to earn her living expenses through her own efforts!"

  "Has she moved to Tokyo?"

  "Hi!"

  "No wonder you're moving out! Come on, confess, are you and Miss Mollie already living together!" Jerry said with a sly grin, looking at the flustered Ryosuke. (It's not surprising, given that Rina left home at 13 to live with her boyfriend.)

  "This, this..."

  "It's alright! I won't object! But you must be careful and can't afford to make any mistakes..."

  "Ah~ Oh~ Mm!"

  "Forgot to ask you something, about the Roman Hall's resident singer, have they contacted the relevant personnel yet?"

  Since Saito Renhō was called in by Jerry to the Japan Women's Rights Federation, matters related to Roman Hall were also handed over to Ryūsaki Tsuyoshi.

  "It is currently temporarily performed by piano majors of the Musashino Academia Musicae Instrumental Department, and there are no resident singers!"

  "Piano major?"

  "Yes! Today's performer is Ms. Ito Masumi!"

  "Alright! I got it."

  This decision is indeed correct.

  After all, the Roman Hall with only thirty seats should not be the best choice for a concert, but it would be great to provide it to Musashino Music University as an instrumental practice room!

  Maybe from now on, it should be like this: piano, saxophone, violin, all instruments related to so-called "refined art" are fine!

  "By the way, Jerry, half an hour ago, a guy who claimed to be the president of Sun Music came to the cafe and said he was looking for President-sama."

  "What's Sun Music? What's his name?"

  "It seems like it's called Aya Sazanami!"

  "Xiang Ze Xiu Zhen?" Jerry's eyebrows jumped at the mention of this name, "Did he say anything about looking for Cai Cai Zi?"

  "This is something he didn't tell me about, but I did give him the address of the company president's house! Now he might be waiting there at the president's house!"

  "Uh-huh! I'll let Chanchan know. Well then, Ryūsaki-kun, I'll take my leave!"

  "Hi!"

  When I got home, there was indeed a middle-aged man sitting in the living room.

  Aizawa Hidenori came over in person solely for the sake of Sakai Noriko's development, and somehow this guy got wind of the fact that the second and third houses' Nekonya cafes are currently under construction. His goal is to hold a Sakai Noriko cafe-themed week at CosPy and thereby promote Sakai Noriko among manga fans. Furthermore, due to the success of Kabushiki Kaisha Shonen Periphery, Aizawa Hidenori hopes to get Tanaka Nekonya's help in promoting Sakai Noriko's "Three Roots" series of goods.

  "Three Root Hairs" is a manga drawn by Noriko Sakai!

  After Sakai Noriko was called "Bikou Unchou" with her youthful and beautiful image, the "Three Roots Hair" series of goods did not lack a market, Sazae Tsuneko just wanted to make this market bigger!

  This is a win-win cooperation, so Jerry has no reason to refuse!

  Two weeks later, after completing a collaboration agreement with Sun Music, Eita Nitta received a call from Tanaka Nanako's office!
