The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

"Hello, is Takumi here?

One afternoon when the bustle of lunchtime settled down, there was a man calling out from the door of the coffee shop, the swordfish.

Takumi, who was at the counter, lowered her head lightly when she noticed an old regular customer whose hat looked good on her.

"Welcome. Oh, Mr. Sabbath, it's been a while. Please take a seat of your choice."

"Thanks. Okay, one usual coffee for now. And there's something I'd like to talk to you about later, please?

"Yeah. It's time to settle down, so it's okay. One cinnamon coffee, accepted. Now, just a moment."

Takumi answered, speaking to the kitchen.

A unique voice called Funya also reaches Sabbath's ear.

Sabbath will say his apologies to Takumi, who eventually brought the coffee

"Lord Nyarch seemed to be taking a break. No, I'm sorry."

"No, it was just time for the break, so I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. First is your order of cinnamon coffee. You may enjoy the accompanying hard-baked gallator (sublet) as is, and I know it will be delicious to soak in coffee if you like."

"Ho. This is another hobby. Then hurry..."

Sabbath nodded at Takumi's words, soaking a slightly thickened baked gallator lightly in coffee.

Carried straight to the mouth, the gallator containing the coffee collapsed loosely.

The bitterness of the coffee, the aroma and sweetness of the galata and the fragrance of the refreshing cinnamon blend together in the mouth.

When I sipped the coffee to flush the powder left in my mouth, this time the fuzzy scent tickled my nostrils.

Phew, take one breath, and then Sabbath opens his mouth.

"I see, it still tastes great today. But as always, you come up with something interesting."

"Thank you. I'm simply letting you do whatever I want, but if you enjoyed it, I'd be very happy. By the way, I heard you had something to discuss today..."

"Yeah, well, I almost forgot the key story. No, actually, the next big meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is going to be held in this city. Lord Takumi in that relationship, no, I would like to ask this coffee shop, the swordfish, for one thing..."

According to Sabbath's description, a chamber of commerce union is an organization in which a large number of chambers of commerce are located in each city and city, and once a year, a plenary meeting is held.

The venue can be decided around each year, but this year it was decided to do it in Harpertown, leaving the partition to the Silva Chamber of Commerce, where Sabbath is executive.

Preparations for the plenary session, which brought together more than a hundred stakeholders from all over the country, proceeded on a steep pitch and the stage of holding it was well under way.

But sudden changes are tough for big meetings.

He said that the desire to take the opportunity to inspect the city of Harpertown, which shows rapid development in dealings with the Tennessee state and the construction of new factories, was followed by a separate inspection tour for those who wished to.

"So, that tour was to be organized from the day after the plenary session to the day after...... Would you look at this schedule for a second?

Sabbath said so, handing a piece of paper to Takumi.

Takumi that drops his gaze and sees through the contents.

A few years after coming to "this world," Takumi was able to understand the letters to such an extent that she was not indisposed to read and write.

The schedule that was written on that paper was pretty packed.

It is planned to explore the new factories and trading hubs, as well as Central Street, which is the central street, and Springside, which has recently gained in popularity as a tourist and maintenance destination.

Even if it was able to move smoothly, it was visible that it would be quite a rush.

"This sounds pretty tough for those who participate. So, this is what you're asking me to do."

Takumi said so, pointing fingers at the end of the schedule, where O was applied with red ink.

There it said, "After lunch, board the second long-distance train from Harpertown”.

In other words, Sabbath's request was for lunch to be served at this coffee shop, the swordfish.

Sabbath agrees with Takumi's words.

"As you can see, even if things went well, it's a pretty tight schedule. I was wondering if things might not go as planned because this would be the move in so many people. I'm going to make some room to adjust during lunch time, but I don't know what will happen..."

Given its position within the Silva Chamber of Commerce, it would essentially be responsible for the practice. Always with a gentle sabbath, the expression had become unusual and bitter.

Sabbath, who has been a regular since the beginning of this store and has procured a variety of things necessary for the sales of "swordfish", including “pato", is an important “benefactor” for "swordfish" and for Takumi.

If I could help at all to repay the favor - Takumi offered to help herself.

"Okay. As much as I can handle it in this store, I know I can help. Private rooms upstairs are also available if necessary. By the way, how many of you are planning on doing so far?

Sabbath looks up at Takumi's inquiry.

Though his expression was a little brighter than earlier, Sabbath makes his mouth grip like it's hard to say anything.

Sabbath eventually opened his heavy mouth as Takumi waited for words with his neck hanging.

"That's it... it's going to swell a lot, and it's going to be around forty people overall."

"Are you forty......, that's pretty hard......"

The number of people Sabbath told me would fill most of the seats in this store.

Although it is a 'swordfish' with many customers coming along to run trains and a relatively clear peak in sales, it has just never welcomed that many people at once.

Steps must also be taken to serve dishes at a time. Plus, if we knew we were going to use this hall, we would have to substantially rent it out.

However, 'swordfish' has been busy with many customers these days.

Especially at lunch, in addition to regular customers coming from the neighborhood, there are overlapping and often full passengers coming to the 'swordfish' as the train departs.

I wanted to respond to Sabbath's request as best I could, but I also wanted to avoid situations that would turn down other customers.

Arm up, takumi thinking hmm.

Did you get worried about how it went, Sabbath sounds nasty?

"No, I'm not going to say I can't. If it's difficult, say so..."

"No, thank you for your patience. We were wondering how we might welcome you. We overlap during lunch hours, so this number of people is going to be difficult to deal with in the hall. In a private room upstairs, the room is small and you can't show it in one room."

"I see, indeed, when there are forty of us, we are almost going to rent out this place... hmmm..."

Sabbath also thinks about Takumi pointing it out.

If you are in the position of caregiver, you should not be able to accumulate a budget and request it in the form of a rental. But Sabbath wanted to avoid such a form if he could.

No matter, it's not a matter of budget.

As regular customers who love "swordfish," we didn't want to keep other customers away until it was convenient for us.

I still have to say no......, the moment Sabbath tried to open his mouth thinking so, a bright voice jumped in from the side.

"I brought you a replacement!

"Oh, Lord Nyarch, you look as good today as ever."

"Mr. Sabbath has a creased eyebrow. You shouldn't bully Mr. Sabbath, right?

"No, no, I'm the one who's keeping you in trouble. Lord Takumi, I apologize for the inconvenience."

"Terrible. We apologize for not answering this question properly."

We see two people bowing their heads to each other, and Nyarch puts his neck in a fuzzy way.

Takumi, who saw it, began to explain the situation.

"Yeah, we just got to talk about booking for the group, but when I asked for more information, I was worried about how I was going to handle lunch, apparently with enough guests to fill up this hall."

"Hmm, that would be easy!

"What? Is it also a suggestion?

Sabbath, surprised by Nyarch's words, embarks on himself.

Takumi, on the other hand, waited still for Nyarch's next word as she had a subtle look on her face with um.

"If the store is small, you just have to expand it!

Nyarch makes an awfully simple suggestion.

Sabbath also laughed bitterly at this.

"Hmm. Sure Lord Nyarch is right, but it's not that easy to open a shop, is it?

"Really? 'Cause you're so big out there. So all you have to do is shop there!

"But when it comes to shops, you have to build roofs and walls..."

"No, maybe... yeah, it's a surprisingly good idea"

He showed a concerted attitude to Nyarch's suggestion, which seemed very unrealistic, and perhaps even to Takumi, who would be the holder of a common sense idea.

To unexpected developments, Sabbath cannot hide the surprising colors.

"Is that possible? What are you asking me to do here, but we only have about three weeks before the due date, right?

Sabbath asks for his complexion with a strange look.

Takumi returned the answer with a smile as she snorted one quietly.

"It would be limited at this time of year, but one idea came up. First of all, this hall itself will be reserved for you with the exception of some seats at the window"

"No, I appreciate that, but then other customers will be in trouble?

Sabbath takes up earlier concerns again.

But it seems that Takumi had already found a solution to that.

"Instead of renting the hall, we will use the square outside to provide temporary terrace seating. The climate is good, and at this time of year, you'll enjoy eating outside."

"I see. But what about desks, chairs, etc? Besides, wouldn't it be hard if it rained?

"If it's a terrace seat, you'll be fine if you can arrange a simple bench or something to replace the table. Just lining up the crates and covering the cloth will give you a pretty good vibe. Besides, if you have something about the roof that will be a large canvas and strut, it seems that you can also build a tented roof in the form of a hand over from the station building. However, it would be helpful if Mr. Sabbath could help us arrange this in a hurry..."

The conditions presented by Takumi were all things that could be managed by the power of the Silva Chamber of Commerce.

Sabbath nods to Eagle Deep Fried.

"Of course that is. If it's going to be a canvas or strut, you'll be able to prepare something, and look for something that's going to be a bench or table. Worst of all, you can have as many crates as you want, so can I have them there?

"Thank you. If you have a purpose for the material, you think it's okay. And then you're on staff. I will also arrange for you here, but if you can ask me, can I borrow as much as two from Mr. Sabbath's Chamber of Commerce?

"That's about as cheap as it gets. Recently, a young man with quite a few attractions came in, so let me take this opportunity to study under Lord Takumi."

"I can't believe I'm studying like that. But I'd be comfortable if I could help. Thank you."

"What the hell. This is why I'm sorry I can't do this, so if it's something I can do, I'll work with you more and more. No, this is the one who would like to thank."

I bowed my head with my hands on the table as Sabbath said so.

Takumi rushes to take it.

"Keep your head up, please. This is the one I can't be happier if I can help Mr. Sabbath, who always takes care of me. Best regards,"

Sabbath nodded to Takumi's words many times.

At that time, Nyarch, who was watching the interaction between the two, raised his voice.

"Look! You can handle it like Nyarch said!

"Come here, you're not prestigious."

For some reason, Takumi tends to show her bragging attitude.

Sabbath spoke to Nyarch, who nodded to Shun, as he lowered his eyes.

"You did inspire Lord Nyarch's proposal. No, thank you, Lord Nyarch."

Praised by Sabbath, Nyarch breaks his expression all the time to.

Turn to Takumi with that loose expression and complain about something with your eyes.

"... Yes, sir. Thanks to Nyarch. Thank you."

I sigh one like I've lost my roots, and then Takumi puts Nyarch's head in.

What a gracious expression that stares at Nyarch behind the nuances of the words.

It was a sabbath sipping coffee that had cooled down a little while smiling at the two who had remained the same since we first met in this station building.
