Currently. Akira was with Minami and with both Emiko and Eiji who were working hard at their café. There were tons of people gathering after Emiko imported another chocolate from out of the country and tons of people would want a taste of that chocolate. Due to Minami's help with advertising it in social media, a lot of kids between adolescent to young adults come and go. All of them didn't even mind waiting in line.

Because of that, both Minami and Akira had to serve the customers for almost four hours. As more and more customers come and go, and behind the kitchen where Emiko and Eiji were also working hard with the cooking. They all had to pull their own weight through this.

After a few more hours, it was already 2 in the afternoon and the hype died down. All of them sighed in relief when the last customer left with a smile on her face.

"Hah... I don't think I can last much longer without something to eat myself." Said Minami followed by another sigh.

"Yeah, you and me both. My arms hurt from all of that cooking." Uncle Eiji said as he stretched both of his arms.

As for Akira, he was cleaning up the table and as he finished. He went to the kitchen and saw his aunt Emiko cooking some curry for themselves, because of this. He sets up the table. And after a while, Aunt Emiko finished and the four of them ate their late lunch.

"So dear. Do you think you could... I don't know... Stop? With exporting for a while until we got a full staff in both the kitchen and the front?" Eiji asked.

"And let my rivals take the lead?! No way!"

"Come on... We're tired. I know that it takes like a month or so for you to receive another recipe or even make your own but please..." Eiji begged.

"Come on, Mom. We've been doing this and we might even die from overwork." Minami also begged.

"Yeah Aunt Emiko. We've been working too hard. Especially you, we don't want you to get tired and let your competitors win, right?"

"...Fine. All of you convinced me. I won't be making something new for at least two months. I'll give them that at least." Emiki said followed by a sigh.

After eating lunch they all went back to work since it's still not the closing time for the shop. Though both Minami and Akira don't have to worry about another rush hour with the cafe since the hype already died down. This time, they were taking it easy for the time being before another customer came.

"Hey Akira." Minami called.

"What is it?"

"How did you do in your test? I heard you passed."

"Yeah. I was going to get at least sixty points but since I was late, I was deducted fifty points in all of the subjects."

"Seriously? Fifty in ALL subjects?!" Minami couldn't believe what her cousin was saying, so she stared at him. Wide-eyed but just gave up and sighed. "Man, I should really join your study group."

"Yeah I think you should. Though I don't know if it would work. We're in different grades and years, remember?"

"Yeah, you don't have to remind me. Why the hell did I have to be born a year later from you?" She sighed again. "Oh well, at least I can see some handsome boys in our school."

"Does that include me too?"

"What? Ew!"

Minami playfully punched Akira's shoulder. After that, the two of them saw a group of girls, they were wearing provocative outfits and had a more western touch to it. Seeing their tanned skin and blonde twin tails and whatnot, they were gyarus.
