163 . The Mysterious Gallery Caf
The trip to anther world has been successfully completed, and today Im visiting the Gallery caf [Gold Coin] outside the business hours .
The last ti was an inspection during business hours, but its still necessary to follow up on managent aspect and whether Rudina has so trouble with it .
Leaving the whole store to them and sucking up the money is a little bit problematic . Im not a sponsor, but the owner of the store after all .
And thats why Im here, at the Gallery Caf [Gold Coin] .
This ti, I entered the store 40 minutes before the closing ti, that is, at 19:20 . Ill eat so al and wait for the other guests to return . And, after that, the store managent eting .
I sit on a vacant counter seat, open the nu, and
I didnt notice the last ti, but the nu doesnt look [Caf]-like at all .
This is [Gallery Caf] . A caf that doubles as a gallery .
And from what I understand, a caf is a place that offers drinks and snacks, and also a place where the guests can enjoy fancy conversation .
However, the nu of this store is leaning towards a restaurants than a cafs .
There are also so nas, such as toast or pasta sounds like [Light al] . But, if you look at the pictures and illustration on the nu, the portion is a bit too big .
[The toast set] has around 7-8 slices of bread, a bowl of cereal and milk, salad with boiled eggs, and an apple and banana .
[The pasta] has the amount of 300gr of dry pasta, which is considered to be 3 servings for Japanese .
[The porridge] seems to be worth two normal bowls .
[The stead potatoes] consisted of 3 big potatoes .
Caf isnt the place to eat heavy al .
Its more like, the place where the smart, cute, and fashionable girls or young OL hangs out
And looking around the store, theres no won who enjoy coffee or juice or shortcakes, instead, there are only foul n who eat a large amount of food .
In other words, this is not a [Caf], this is just a normal eatery
Ah, fried rice please (Mitsuha)
As usual, Silua approached with a glass of water and take the order without saying anything .
Owner, coming! One fried rice! (Silua)
if you can speak properly like that, itd be better if you talk to the custors
I chose fried rice to check the level of the dishes .
No, I know its frozen food . I dont think the amateur-graded Rudina would be able to make authentic fried rice with a large wok and high-heating-power stove . And I dont think Chinese food would be popular with the people in this country
So, it has to be a frozen food, but I want to check how well is it finished .
Even frozen foods can be delicious depending on how they are prepared . Right, it depends on the chefs skill! when handling frozen foods .
I guess it doesnt seem to make much sense .
And the fried rice ca out in a large serving .
No, I asked an ordinary fried rice . Its just that it ca on a large plate .
Well, lets grab the spoon and have a taste of it .
Oh? Oohh!! (Mitsuha)
Its delicious! Much better than expected!
The rice grains are coated with eggs to prevent the rice from becoming sticky dumpling and form absorbing too much oil! This can only be done with putting the egg in the pot until it hardens and put the rice within 10 seconds and stir . A technique that cannot be achieved without the skill to mix it evenly!
Th-this is .

I was surprised and asked Rudina if its homade to which she replies [Its frozen though?] .
If anything, its not in the realm of ho cooking, its like it ca directly from a Chinese restaurant where they spray lards on the rice grains with a machine . Apparently, many shops use this comrcial product, and it seems to be more delicious than making it in their own shop, almost on par with the authentic shops if not more .
So, it seems that most shops that use comrcial frozen foods have this nu
I thought that its a little strange that fried rice is on the nu in such a country, so this is why
The frozen food that is more delicious than homade cooking .
The progress of science, aweso!!
Then, after finishing the fried rice, I snuck through the employee door while being cautious of the eyes of a few remaining custors and go upstairs to the second floor .
Lets start a business eting of the Gallery Caf [Gold Coin] . Feel free to speak if you have anything to say . Otherwise this eting has no aning and its not good for the store . Even if its sothing difficult to say, please say it clearly, because its for this store, for , and for everyone . (Mitsuha)
The two nodded to my words .

Since theyre really serious, I think theyll talk about everything properly .
First, a question for Rudina . Hows the sales? (Mitsuha)
The balance is in the black . Of course, apart from the initial investnt for equipnt, raw materials, consumables, utilities and other necessary expenses, plus our basic salary . The rest is how should we consider about the depreciation of the equipnt Also, the rent of this store (Rudina)
She says so while I look through the book that she presented .
Ooh, no way, to think it has beco this profitable! Ah, this store is not a rental but my own property, so you dont have to worry about rent . (Mitsuha)
Eh (Rudina)
Oh, I bought this property with a lot of money, so the depreciation is still there, I guess .
Well, its not a big deal because I dont have to pay property tax anyway . Lets ignore such trivial things!
Besides, the main purpose is to use it as a disguise to send so fund to Japan and as an evacuation site in case of ergency . The caf is just a bonus, so it doesnt matter even if its in the red . As long as the surrounding people doesnt suspicious at how the store can survive with the disastrous state of the business, its all fine . If we can make this much profit, then its more than enough!
or rather, this includes the [10% of the net profit] commission, right?
Ah, did they read what I was thinking? Their mouths are twitching .
Theyre definitely holding back from smiling
Ooh, theyre waiting for the commission huh
Well, I will give them the share, of course .
Hmm? What are these numbers?
When I tilted my head, Rudina looked into the book and explained .
Ah, thats the art sales (Rudina)
Eeeeeeh!! (Mitsuha)
tte, why am I surprised!!
Theyre on display for sale, and theyre sold, nothing strange here .
but it did sell huh
No matter how good looking the pieces are, those are the works of newcors, Lortor and Tiras, who couldnt sell their pieces at all . Moreover, theyre creators from a different world, so their sense might be different from the Earth .
Hmm? What is this W, S, M signs
Ah, that is the type of piece that was sold . Wood, Stone, Mystery (Rudina)
Ah, Lortors wood sculptures, Tiras stone sculptures, and Mystery?
Umm, this mystery is (Mitsuha)
Ah, its the group mysterious pieces that I dont know how it was created . There are stones and wood, but it is obviously different from the one who made the other sculptures, so the sa person made those pieces, right? (Rudina)
well, if you look at the real thing, even a child can understand, I guess .
But the ones I created were sold quite well too .
Kufu .
Kufufufufu .
Those are the work of who was always got the lowest score in drawing and art subject .
As an art pieces, they sold at good prices .
Fufu . Fufufufufu
Tte, Im not happy at all!
Theyre sold simply as unique items whose crafting thods are unknown, arent they!!
Well, I created those with that in mind, so Im not going to complain .
U~n, on one side Im happy, but on the other side Im not happy
