My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

In fact, Dongfang Bai had other purposes for coming here, because the red sphere in his consciousness space would light up from time to time, and when it did, he could use the sphere to search for things in his memory bank.

He has now recalled quite a few anime and light novels, but most of them are action-packed series, just in case. In order to avoid forgetting them, he will also choose a quiet place to record these memories.

For example, someone might be sitting in a coffee shop, jotting down key information in a notebook.

"Speaking of which, didn't that guy Black Cat say she was going to attend an offline party before she came? Attending two parties in one day, what a social butterfly among shut-ins!"

The fairy pursed her lips. Actually, she didn't particularly like the black cat either. After all, they had talked a lot while playing games last night. Although she admitted that the black cat's skills were indeed very good, she was just inexplicably annoyed.

"I don't know, maybe it was in this coffee shop too?"

Dongfang Bai waved his hand casually. Of course, he was just saying it offhand. How could the other party's gathering place be the 'Rabbit House' cafe?

This is the edge of Akihabara, and there are usually not many people here.

Click.

A blonde girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit, the signature style of 'Rabbit House,' walked over unhurriedly, carrying a plate with 'Rabbit House' classic coffee and cake, a favorite of the East.

"Here is your coffee and handmade cake."

The blonde girl looks to be only about 1.45 meters tall, probably not much taller than Chino-chan. She's clearly cute, but for some reason, she just doesn't have that "cute" vibe...

Moreover, I didn't see her before when I came here. Could she be a new employee who just started working here recently?

The blonde girl glanced at Dongfang Bai with her pale blue eyes, gave a slight bow, and then quickly left. She didn't even offer a standard maid's smile from beginning to end. Could she be the shy type like Chino?

"Welcome!"

The blonde girl quickly ran to the door to greet the other guests. Chino was an excellent coffee maker, and because she was too shy, she usually stayed at the bar instead of coming out to greet guests.

However, the girl with long blonde hair was completely different. She seemed very skilled at greeting guests, and there was still no smile on her face, making people wonder if she was the kind of girl with no personality traits.

"Huh...?"

Dongfang Bai suddenly saw a large group of girls walk in from outside the door, at least ten or more. This was the first time 'Rabbit House' had ever encountered so many people at once.

He noticed that Chino's expression stiffened slightly at the bar. It seemed that she wasn't good at handling so many customers either. After all, the blonde girl couldn't manage all that people by herself; she had to step in.

"Hello, I booked a table an hour ago."

Suddenly, a rather tall girl stepped out from the group of girls. From Dongfang Bai's perspective, she was probably 1.8 meters tall. She was half a head taller than Dongfang Bai, which was too exaggerated.

I never knew there were girls this tall in Japan...

The tall girl had a very slender figure, with a handkerchief tied around her head as a headscarf, and round glasses that obscured her eyes. She also tucked the hem of her plaid long-sleeved shirt into her pants and carried a large backpack with posters stuck to it. This was the typical otaku outfit.

People dressed like this are often looked at with extreme strangeness by all sorts of people outside, not to mention how girls are viewed, because Japanese people have a strong aversion to otaku, and most people don't understand the ideas of otaku at all.

Therefore, once an otaku appears in a school, they will be subjected to passive-aggressive behavior. Not only will they be looked at differently, but in some cases, it may even develop into school violence.

"Hey, you stinky white guy, those guys wouldn't be..."

The fairy sitting directly in front put down her coffee. She added no less than six spoonfuls of white sugar in one go. She originally wanted to show her maturity in front of Dongfang Bai, but she couldn't handle it after just one sip of black coffee.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence."

Dongfang Bai waved his hand. Although Neon is indeed small, it can't be this small, right? How could you possibly run into an online friend you met up with at a store that far away?

“~…”

Suddenly, Dongfang Bai spotted a very conspicuous light brown-haired girl in the crowd. She was the same girl he had met on the street earlier. Her clothes were too eye-catching, a standard "normie" outfit, making her stand out from the group of otaku girls.

Everyone else was chatting happily, but this guy... and another person with long, straight black hair wearing something like a cosplay outfit didn't talk to anyone. Come to think of it, that person with long, straight black hair looked really familiar, like I'd seen them somewhere before.

“I am Saori Bagina, and I have reserved a table.”

The tall girl suddenly said her name, but it didn't sound like her real name at all; it sounded more like an online nickname.

Just like Dongfang Bai's pen name and online name are both 'Yakumo Bai', while the online names of fairies are usually of the type 'I am the light novel'.

The large group of them slowly walked to a nearby spot, where there was a sofa set up on both sides, with square tables for four people on each side, so all of them could sit down.

(Ma Wanghao) The chattering of a group of people was a bit noisy, since they were all girls. Just as Dongfang Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief, suddenly another group of people entered from outside the door...? ? ?

What's going on? Why are there so many people here today? This cafe, which belongs to the same company, has very nice facilities, but because of its super remote location, even people who come to Akihabara often might not know about it.

The shop, which originally only had Fairy and Dongfang Bai, was suddenly full. Now, Chino on the counter was busy pouring coffee. It seemed that there were only two staff members, including Chino, today.

Two people definitely can't handle it all, and the group that just came in was scattered, not a group like the girls at the previous table. The amount of food and coffee they ordered is a bit frightening.

Even if Chino had three heads and six arms, she might not be able to handle it all, Iori.

There were way too many people, ridiculously many. This shop is located on the very edge of Akihabara, and hardly anyone ever comes here. This is the first time there have been so many people.

"That little guy seems to be having some trouble."

Fairy rested her chin on her right hand, frowning slightly as she looked at Chino, who was scrambling on the stage. She seemed to have made a decision and looked in the direction of Dongfang Bai.

"I'll go help."

Dongfang Bai downed the last of his coffee in one gulp. As he slowly stood up, he remembered that the store's staff changing room should have men's clothing.

"Wait! Even you, you stinky white dog, are definitely too busy. I'll help you too."

Fairy also stood up and quickly followed Dongfang Bai. The two of them went to the bar together. After all, Chino-chan was still a primary school student. Although she was the boss's daughter, she had certain "463" skills and her coffee was indeed delicious.

However, this shop is committed to quality, using the best coffee beans and carefully crafting each cup of coffee. Chino's coffee is all hand-ground and made step by step.

She could keep up with the pace when there weren't many people, but now Chino alone simply can't keep up with the coffee and handmade cake making, especially with so many people around.

"Chino, let's help. The manager and Rize aren't here today, are they?"

Dongfang Bai washed his hands at the bar's sink and quickly dried them, while the fairy had already rushed to the kitchen to prepare the cake. She was an all-around housewife-level rich loli!

"But……"

Chino was clearly a little uneasy. After all, although Dongfang Bai often came here and had a good relationship with her, his family was an investor in the store, so his status was definitely different, yet he was working as a waiter.

"It's alright, they're all our shops."

Dongfang Bai smiled slightly and patted Zhina's head, though Zhina quickly dodged away the next second... It seems she's still not used to being touched by others.

Damn it, I'm getting confused again from habitually touching the gauze...

"Ugh, Chino hates me."

"No……!"

Chino shook her head anxiously. Dongfang Bai was someone she was quite close to, and even though her work was somewhat tedious every day, he would often chat with her.

"Just kidding, I'm going to change my clothes. You can have Chino Coffee for now."

Dongfang Bai quickly went to the staff area at the back, took out a uniform with black as the main color and white as the secondary color from the cabinet, which looked very much like the clothes of a butler.

He gently straightened his bangs to make himself look more refreshed, then put on clean white gloves and joined the work at the 'Rabbit House'.

"You stinky guy! Get me some eggs, scallions, eggs, and ketchup..."

The fairy had tied her long hair up into a long ponytail at the back of her head. She was wearing an apron and had pulled up the white long sleeves to reveal her fair and slender arms.

"Two servings of omelet rice, four cups of mixed coffee, two lattes, and one serving of curry rice."

The blonde waitress was holding a small notebook with orders written on it...

"Speaking of which, the curry rice at this restaurant is really delicious! It's supposed to be a coffee shop."

Even inside the kitchen, Dongfang Bai could faintly hear the complaints from outside, making his lips twitch involuntarily. Indeed, the omelet rice and curry rice at this restaurant were very good.

But this is clearly a coffee shop! Coffee is the mainstream here!

"Chino, I'll make the mixed coffee."

After finishing his business in the kitchen, Dongfang Bai came to the front desk and watched Zhi Nai grinding coffee beans with great effort. She could even see a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Ok."

Chino nodded, then handed several kinds of coffee beans to Higashikata. The so-called blended coffee is more complicated than other types of coffee. It is basically about combining the advantages of several coffees to make them more delicious.

For example, a blend of coffees that combines the acidity of one type of coffee, the aroma of another, and the rich oils of a third, is more delicious, but also quite troublesome to make.

The strength of an Oriental White coffee maker is much greater than that of an average person, but hand-grinding coffee is not just about having a lot of strength; you have to control the force and tamp it into a fine coffee powder.

He evenly sprinkled the coffee powder in, then poured in hot water in a circular motion, controlling the water-to-coffee ratio to be approximately 16:1. After a short blooming period, he filtered it again.

Before long, several cups of fragrant mixed coffee were ready.

Even Chino Kafuu, who was standing to the side, was a little stunned. She knew before that Dongfang Bai's family had actually invested in 'Rabbit House', but it was his family's investment, not his.

I never expected him to be so skilled and proficient at making coffee.

Of course Dongfang Bai knows these things. In this life, he has experienced nearly seventeen years of higher education. Not to mention playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking, tea ceremony, coffee, martial arts, music, he has basically learned some of them.

This is one of the reasons why the Dongfang family dared to let Dongfang Bai run away from home, because he had already learned everything he needed to learn, and the next step was to accumulate experience and put it into practice.

The original plan was to give him a small to medium-sized company in Japan when he turned 18 and let him develop it on his own. If it succeeded, he could do whatever he wanted; if it failed, he would be forcibly pulled back. But unexpectedly, he ran away from home halfway through...

This is what they mean by being forced to go back and inherit billions if you don't work hard.

"Uh, I don't really like coffee... it's too bitter."

"You should always try things."

The group of girls led by the tall and beautiful Saori ordered coffee, but only a few of them did; the others opted for milk or juice.

"No, slightly bitter coffee paired with sweet cake brings out the sweetness even more."

Dongfang Bai held a tray with four cups of mixed coffee in one hand. Even with his fast pace of 4.8, he walked steadily without worrying about spilling the coffee.

"!"

Several girls stared at his face, somewhat dazed. Handsome waiters are everywhere, but this guy had a strange, inexplicable aura about him. You couldn't quite put your finger on it, but being around him made you feel very comfortable.

"Moreover, I'm quite confident in my ability to make mixed coffee."

Dongfang Bai placed the coffee in front of the girl with long, straight black hair. As he got closer, he realized that she was not only familiar, but someone he knew!

Although she might not recognize him, this girl was definitely the same girl who had accidentally bumped into him while buying books at the bookstore. He only recognized her completely after she changed into this outfit, unlocking his long-dormant memories.

She is Ruri Gokou!
