Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

"Saber, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I have to go to work."

"Ok!"

This time, Artoria didn't try to stop him. She waved goodbye to Ye Ziye, acting as if the two were good friends, and then turned and left, just like Rayleigh.

Looking at the girl's back, Ye Ziye couldn't understand why Artoria had forcibly kissed him yesterday.

He shook his head and decided to stop thinking about these brain-burning things for the time being. Besides, if you ignore what happened yesterday, Artoria is also a lovely girl.

It's not just her cute appearance, but more so her unique personality. In contemporary society, it's rare to see someone so upright and chivalrous, especially a girl.

Although the strength and speed she displayed were completely unlike that of a girl...

Watching that dazzling golden light disappear from his sight, Ye Ziye turned and left. To support himself and Garfield, he had to work every day, and he had also promised Nakamura Nanami that he would teach coffee-making skills today.

After taking the tram, Ye Ziye returned home, changed her clothes, and then went to the pet cafe.

He thought he would be late today, but unfortunately, he failed to keep up with the pace and gave up before even reaching ten moves. So today, he is still the same good employee who arrives on time.

Inside the shop, the useless shop manager, Kudo Nami, was still tidying up her plants that seemed impossible to manage, while Nakamura Nanami was obediently waiting at the bar.

"Ye Zi Jun, you're here!"

When Nakamura Nanami saw Ye Ziye coming over, his eyes lit up, and Kudo Nami also turned around, seemingly surprised that he wasn't late today.

"I heard you're going to teach Nanning Sauce how to make coffee?"

"Ah."

Ye Ziye put down his backpack, and Nakamura Nanami considerately brought him an apron.

"Then you'd better teach him properly. If he dares to take advantage of the situation or bully Nanning-chan, I won't let him get away with it!"

"I know."

Kudo Nami was very unhappy with Ye Ziye's indifferent attitude, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Ultimately, it's a good thing that Ye Ziye was willing to entrust the coffee making to Nakamura Nanning; having an excellent barista in the shop is like having an extra brand name.

Kudo Nami also heard from Nakamura Nanami that Ye Ziye was willing to teach her because she was afraid that her lateness would cause the coffee shop's performance to decline.

Such a good employee's behavior is touching, so Kudo Nami decided not to be angry today.

Have you decided what kind of coffee you want to learn?

Ye Ziye asked a question. Nakamura Nanning was different from him after all. Without the help of a system, he could only learn one thing at a time. However, he would find the knack after learning several more.

"Hmm! I've made up my mind. I want to learn how to make black coffee!"

Ye Ziye frowned. He thought that Nakamura Nanning would choose to learn about common coffees like cappuccino or mocha, but he didn't expect him to start with black coffee.

"why?"

"Because black coffee feels very mature!"

Nakamura Nanami said this, and she really thought so. Because she has a cute chubby face and is not very tall, she is often mistaken for a child.

She wanted to prove herself, and the first step in that was learning to make black coffee, the kind of coffee only adults drink.

Ye Ziye didn't want to comment on this reason. He was only responsible for teaching; what to learn and the reasons for learning it were unimportant.

"Let's get started then. There's still some time before the opening, so let's get familiar with the materials first."

Ye Ziye didn't expect Nakamura Nanei to learn it all at once. Getting started is always the hardest part. As long as he could learn how to make this first kind of coffee within a week, that would be enough to satisfy his requirements.

The two entered the warehouse one after the other, leaving Kudo Nami alone sitting on a chair, idly rubbing the chubby face of an orange cat.

She clearly wanted to learn too.

However, she soon came to terms with it. Even though she couldn't cook, she was still the owner of the coffee shop!

Chapter 45

The warehouse contained coffee beans carefully selected by Nami Kudo, so there was no need for secondary sorting. Nakamura Nanami simply grabbed some and left.

It's not because Kudo Nami is particularly knowledgeable; it's simply because she's a rich young lady who believes in buying the most expensive things.

"There are several ways to brew black coffee. Traditional filter brewing can make black coffee taste the purest, but it also requires a high level of skill. You are still a beginner, so you should learn other methods first, practice electric brewing, and mastering coffee machines is an essential skill for every barista."

Upon hearing this, Nakamura Nanami's twin ponytails fell down, even though she really wanted to learn traditional filter foaming techniques.

She had once seen Ye Ziye brew coffee using the traditional filter method; it was perfect and elegant, and the quiet aura he exuded was intoxicating. Although he was wearing an apron, he looked like an aristocrat.

Nakamura Nanami also imagined herself to be that cool, but then she convinced herself that a beginner should start with the simplest things, and she would definitely study hard!

"I understand, Master Ye!"

"master?"

This was the first time Ye Ziye had heard someone call him that, but it felt pretty good. Once upon a time, becoming a teacher was also his dream.

Since Ye Ziye came to the pet cafe, the coffee machine has been neglected for a long time. Now, in order to train new baristas, it is about to start its working life again.

"Watch me demonstrate first, then you can try it yourself later. There's no need to rush. According to my plan, you'll be considered qualified if you can use the coffee machine proficiently within two days."

"Yes!"

Nakamura Nanami was somewhat surprised. She had thought Ye Ziye would ask her to make a perfect cup of coffee in one day, and she was even prepared to be scolded.

Ye Ziye put the coffee beans into the coffee grinder without any hesitation, controlling the speed, and fine coffee powder appeared.

He then poured the powder into the coffee machine, and tap water surged up, flowing out of the outlet with a rich and aromatic black coffee. Although it looked no different from traditional filter coffee, anyone who drinks coffee regularly would be able to tell the difference.

Nakamura Nanami watched in a daze; it was the first time she had ever seen Ye Ziye use a coffee machine, and she hadn't expected him to be so skilled.

"Give it a try, and I'll correct you if there's anything wrong with it."

Nakamura Nanami nodded, mimicking Ye Ziye's actions, and poured coffee beans into the machine without any hesitation; she knew how to use a coffee machine.

Because Ye Ziye had been working here before she arrived, and the previous baristas often used the coffee machine and sometimes needed her help.

Kudo Nami stopped tending to her plants and walked over to the two men, watching Nakamura Nanami operate the coffee machine.

"Nanning sauce, don't worry about the ingredients, just use it!"

"Hi! Thank you, Nami-nee."

Ye Ziye looked at the smiling Kudo Nami beside him and felt that this woman was two-faced. When he was using something wasteful, this woman looked very distressed.

"You two keep practicing, I'll take this cup of coffee away."

Kudo Nami pointed to the coffee that Ye Ziye had just made with the machine. Although it wasn't as good as hand-drip coffee, it still tasted very fragrant and mellow.

Ye Ziye didn't say anything, just waved to her and continued watching Nakamura Nanami operate the coffee machine.

Kudo Nami said she was used to this attitude of ignoring her boss. She picked up her coffee, took a sip, looked out at the Tokyo night view, and sighed that this was the life of a boss.

Before the guests arrived, Ye Ziye was instructing Nakamura Nanning. The girl was very smart, not as naive as she looked, and she had mastered the essentials in a short time.

After the first customer arrived, both of them consciously stopped making coffee and went to attend to their own work.

Today is Friday, so there are an unusually large number of customers coming and going. However, to Ye Ziye's surprise, Akiyama Hitomi, who is usually the first to arrive, did not come today.

But he didn't pay much attention and continued doing his work, dealing with the teasing of various strange older women.

Customers came and went in waves, and by 8 p.m., there were no customers left, and the cafe was about to close. However, today, Kudo Nami, the manager, had gathered all her employees together.

"I've decided that the shop will need some renovations. You two don't need to come to work tomorrow and the day after. Just stay home and rest!"

"Huh? How could this be?"

Nakamura Nanami reacted very differently from most working people. Although she enjoyed the rest, she still wanted to learn how to make coffee from Ye Ziye.

Ye Ziye was quite happy to hear the news. He hadn't had a proper rest since arriving in this world a month ago.

Furthermore, I sparred with Artoria today, so to prevent internal injuries, it's advisable to rest at home for a couple of days.

It's a good opportunity to write a novel, and I can ask Hitomi Akiyama about it when I go to work. It's a win-win situation.

“Nakamura, you can just read some books about coffee at home. Learning things like this can’t be rushed; just take it one step at a time.”

"Yes! I understand, Master Ye!"

Nakamura Nanami regained her energy, her big eyes sparkling. She decided to go home and review what she had learned that day.

"By the way, Nami-nee, what kind of decoration do you want? I think the shop is pretty good."

"Oh. I want to replace that wall with a bookshelf. Some customers bring their own books to the store, which makes me look unprofessional."

Ye Ziye nodded to himself in approval of the renovation changes. If bookshelves could be installed in the store, he could also get some books for free.

He felt no guilt whatsoever about getting something for free, even though Kudo Nami was a wealthy woman.

"Then I'll be going now."

After saying goodbye to Kudo Nami and Nakamura Nanami, Ye Ziye walked out of the coffee shop.

He wondered if it was because tomorrow was a holiday, but the moon seemed exceptionally round tonight.

Chapter 46

April 25th, sunny.

Ye Zi had a good night's sleep today, which she hadn't had in a long time. She didn't wake up until around nine o'clock in the morning, and she woke up naturally without being woken up by the musty smell or by Garfield's stuffy mouth.

Yesterday's cleaning was very effective, and the weather was nice too. The house had a warm, sunny smell, along with a faint smell of cat poop masked by the litter.

Although he is a cat, Garfield has no pride as a member of the species. All he does every day is eat and sleep, and today he is still nestled in the sun, not yet getting up.

Looking at its lazy appearance, Ye Ziye sighed helplessly, but Garfield and he still got along very well.

After getting up, Ye Ziye's first thought was whether or not to eat breakfast. If she did, she would have to eat lunch in three hours. If she didn't, it might affect her health.

Finally, after careful consideration, Ye Ziye decided to have a simple breakfast. After yesterday's events, he knew how weak he was and that he needed to eat more to maintain his strength.

To supplement her protein intake, Ye Ziye splurged today and fried herself two eggs. Even if she can't exercise now, she still needs to make sure her food is nutritious.

At home, he had no inhibitions. Wearing beach shorts, he started eating right from the pot, saving time on washing dishes. During this precious rest time, he didn't want to do any work.

"Garfield, come and eat!"

After breakfast, Ye Ziye called out to Garfield, who was still fast asleep, and filled a bowl full of cat food for him. At the same time, he realized a serious problem: the cat food in the house was almost gone.

Seeing Garfield wobbling over, Ye Ziye felt a bit troubled; the cat food store was far from his home because his rented apartment was in a remote area.

"Garfield, can you go buy cat food by yourself?"

Ye Ziye asked expectantly, while Garfield tilted his head, not understanding what his owner was saying, and then prepared to put his head into the bowl to start eating.
