Chapter 700: Troublesome cafe
Everyone was working hard toward the cultural festival, and naturally, it also included his class.
As mentioned in the , his class would open a crepe stall, but in the end, they decided to make it bigger by opening a cafe.
As for what kind of a cafe it was, it was a cafe with a theme of the Taisho era. They would all be wearing a student uniform in the Taisho era, which was a mix of western and eastern fashion.
If one had a hard time imagining it, they could use the internet to browse it or wait until the future chapters when the author mentioned the uniform.
Anyway, leaving the uniform aside since it seemed Usa could get it from the cafe where he worked part-time, which was also Shishio’s cafe. Still, everyone in the class also had to do a little promotion, so the cafe could lend their costumes, to which everyone in the class had agreed without hesitation.
After all, they didn’t have to pay, and they could lend such an awesome costume. All they needed to do was to do a little promotion, so why not?
Still, while they didn’t understand why the cafe would do such a thing, Shishio knew how famous the Suimei Cultural Festival was. It was a regional event that would be held for an entire week, showing how famous this festival was.
He knew that he might have mentioned this matter several times, but he wanted to make sure that everyone knew how popular this event was, so he had to repeat it several times.
Anyway, as his class had decided to make a crepe cafe, they borrowed the home economics room, so he could teach them how to make a crepe. Still, since it was made by the students, he avoided any ingredients which could cause food poisoning and only used safe ingredients that were okay to be eaten even if it was cooked by amateurs.
Naturally, while not all the students were tasked to cook, they still learned from him since it was rare for him to teach someone, and they felt that the knowledge they learned from him might become a good thing for their future.
Still, leaving the guys aside, he was more interested in teaching the girls.
“The food is mostly settled.”
Their crepe had several varieties, from savory to sweet taste, but there was one problem.
“What about the drink?”
When this question fell, they subconsciously looked in his direction since, among all of them, they felt he was the most reliable, but more importantly, they were afraid to make a mistake and took responsibility for it.
This was the problem with this country since most people were afraid to make a choice since they didn’t want to take responsibility.
However, with Shishio, it was different since he didn’t hesitate when he wanted to do something, and he didn’t want to waste his time discussing annoying things. After all, if something could be finished shortly, why should they waste their time?
“Let’s just get a soda, tea, or something easy like getting it in the vending machine. Then, if you want to make it fancy, just pour it on the glass.”
He was too lazy to think, and all the guys also agreed.
“That’s a good idea.”
“It’s not like the people who come to the cultural festival expect us to do something professional.”
“These crepes are enough.”
The guys all agreed with his words.
Even if Shishio was biased toward the guys and gentler toward the girls, their minds had become one, and they worked together to reduce their work since they didn’t want something so troublesome.
“Eh? But isn’t it a bit too lazy? I mean, we can do better, right?”
“Yeah, how about something like a cocktail?”
“We can’t serve alcohol, you know?”
“Then, how about a mocktail?”
The girls became excited and started to talk without stopping.
Even if every student must join a club, it didn’t mean that they were active, and many were ghost members, which meant they only registered their names on the club but didn’t participate in the club activity. They only joined, so they wouldn’t be troubled by the teachers.
The teachers knew this and closed one of their eyes toward this situation.
However, because of this, those girls wanted to put their energy into their class’s cafe, which made everything become so troublesome.
After all, he had so many projects. Even if it was easy to teach them and make the recipe, if he could make it easier, then he would do it. He looked at Nanami, Nana, Maiko, and Mea, hoping that they could stop this situation, yet they also became excited and talked about what kind of drinks they should serve.
“Ah, we should also get a coffee!”
“The fancy one! The one with the coffee machine!”
“Usa, the cafe where you work part-time, has such a machine, right?”
“Ah, uh…” Usa was flabbergasted. While he was chosen as a part of the members of the cultural festival committee with his girlfriend, it didn’t mean he didn’t participate in the class activity with his girlfriend. Instead, he helped with a lot of things, such as borrowing the costumes of their cafe.
However, the coffee machine was different.
As someone who had worked in the cafe, he knew many things, such as the price of the tools and the coffee machine was fucking expensive.
If this thing was broken, what should he do?
“….”
The guys were all speechless since the girls became excited, and they were all looking at Shishio, hoping he could stop this situation.
Shishio was also helpless since he knew how troublesome the woman was, so he could only rely on his girlfriends. He looked at Nanami, Nana, Mea, and Maiko, yet they didn’t seem to read his signal, and they were also excited to make their cafe more exciting.
He was speechless, but he coughed and said, “I think that having a coffee machine is a bad idea.”
“Huh? Why?”
“It’s expensive.”
“Expensive?”
“We’re all students, and we get our money from the pocket money of our parents or working a part-time job. We treat our money carefully, so in case this coffee machine is broken, then we might need to repay it with our hard-earned money, you know?”
Shishio had a coffee machine in the dorm, but why should he bring it to class?
Nana, Nanami, Mea, and Maiko seemed to be able to read him, so they didn’t mention this matter.
“……..” Everyone.
“I’m just asking for information, but how much is a coffee machine?”
“About this much…”
“……” Everyone.
“But more importantly, there is one troublesome matter.”
“One troublesome matter?”
“The money aside, since we might be able to collect it as long as everyone takes part to repay it, the person who has broken it by accident might become a target of being isolated by everyone.”
“……..”

This was the most troublesome thing.
The money aside, since they could group up together to repay the coffee machine, the one who broke it by accident definitely might receive trouble unless this person wanted to repay the coffee machine by themselves.
However, when they heard the price of the coffee machine, no one wanted to do it since it was fucking expensive!
“Also, as I have said before, we can use something cheap to make something fancy. If I give an example, how about herbal tea?”
“Herbal tea?”
“Like chamomile, lavender, jasmine, and many others. You only need to buy the tea and pour it into hot water. It is easy, right?
Easy?
Naturally!
“Wow!”
“That’s great!”
“Let’s just serve such a herb tea!”
The guys were all excited since all they needed to do was pour water. No, they didn’t need to pour it in since they could let the customer do it by themselves. All they needed to do was to prepare hot water, which was something that all of them could do.
Hot water?
At this moment, they would say that it was their specialty to make one.
While the girls were speechless, they felt that his words were right. After all, making a crepe wasn’t easy, and if they could make an easy-to-make drink, then it was a good thing.
“What if the customers want something cold?”
“Then, just give the tea and ice.”
“……..”
However, his words were right. If their customers wanted something cold, then just give them tea and ice.
“If this isn’t enough, you can also add a soda and add ice cream on top of it. By then, we’ll be able to make a fancy float soda.”
“……” Everyone.
“You should know that those popular cafes or restaurants are ripping us off by using a cheap drink and serving it in fancy glasses or other ways, so they can charge us more expensively. If they can do so, why can’t we?”
Hearing his words, why did they all feel that they had sold their souls to Satan?
Still, everyone was speechless at this moment since this guy dared to say such a thing.
“However, don’t blame the cafes or the restaurants. It isn’t cheap to manage a business, and they can go bankrupt anytime. The profit from the drink is the most secure and easy to get, so they use it well. In the future, if you are involved in the food and beverage industry, you can use this knowledge.”
They nodded, but then, the class representative raised her hand and asked, “How about a coffee?”
“…even with all of that, do you want a coffee?”
“Isn’t it normal for one to drink coffee, right?”
Still being stared at by everyone, the class representative said nervously, “But… but if it isn’t possible, you don’t need to force it.”
He looked at the class representative for a while before he let out a sigh. “Prepare me an instant coffee and milk.”
Everyone was in a daze, hearing his order.
“Oh, also, get me a clear glass.”
“Ye-Yes!”
They quickly reacted since they knew that their coach was going to prepare his magic.
When the ingredients were prepared, he said, “Now, I am going to make a coffee latte and Dalgona coffee.”
“Huh? Coffee latte? Can you make something fancy with these cheap ingredients?”
“Also, what is Dalgona coffee?”
“Just watch first, okay?”
Everyone turned and became quiet.
He took the instant coffee and poured a small amount of hot water into the glass, but he didn’t stir it with a spoon. Instead, he took a small automatic hand mixer and whipped the coffee calmly.
Everyone was also in silence, watching him quietly while wondering why they felt they were inside the bar of the five-star hotel. His figure and elegance also made them though so, especially when he was so cool when he was just wearing an apron.
Nana and Nanami suddenly thought that they should ask him to wear nothing but an apron tonight.
After he whipped the coffee, he took a glass, put in a lot of ice before he poured milk, and at the end, he poured the coffee that he had whipped.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Huh?! This is really a coffee latte?!”
“How?!”
“Damn, are those cafes or expensive restaurants ripping us off?!”
They were all speechless since it only took such cheap ingredients to make something so fancy.
“Nana, try it.”
“Yay~!”
Nana took the coffee latte under the envious gaze of everyone. “Wow!” Still, she was dumbfounded by the taste.
“Nana, how does it taste?”
“Don’t drink all of them!”
The girls robbed each other, but the guys could only stare at this situation enviously, wondering why they weren’t born a woman.
“How about Dalgona coffee?” Nana quickly asked.
“It’s like this.”
When he was about to show how to make a Dalgona coffee, he saw someone unexpected outside of the class waving her hand excitedly at him. His lips twitched, and he wondered why this person was there.
