"Everyone, the four judges at the scene are now in front of Izaki from Maruyama Coffee. Izaki's work is... eh, is it My Neighbor Totoro? What a childlike coffee!"

...

Just as Sakurako was easily standing on the stage, waiting for the results of the second round of competition, the scene of the scene switched to her again, and at the same time, on social media, Ennoji Akemi personally sent a letter to her. The news of the Citizen's Guild's participation in the Japanese Barista Competition gradually spread, and along the way, Sakurako and Sakura no Sato were known to more fans of Akimi.

"Everyone, for Izaki's work, the final score given by the referee is 9.5 points. Congratulations to Izaki, who has successfully entered the final stage."

When the results of all the contestants in the second round were announced, everyone was pleasantly surprised that Sakurako actually ranked third in the total score. The top two were unsurprisingly occupied by the powerful Izaki Hideo and Tokai Keshi. As for the other two players, although they have also entered the final stage, they have actually lost the chance to compete for the championship because of the large gap between the top three and the top three.

"Sakurako still has hope. As long as she beats the top two opponents in the creative coffee segment, she has hope of winning the championship."

Yuzi looked at the score list on the screen and said to Lin Xiuyi excitedly.

"Yeah! I didn't expect Sakurako to achieve such good results. Compared with the first two links, I actually have more confidence in this link of creative coffee. To be honest, the cup of dark beer coffee that day was really subversive. It's everything I know about coffee!"

...

After a morning of intense competition, the finalists finally got a temporary respite. After submitting the relevant instructions for the creative coffee session to the organizing committee of the competition, Sakurako walked out of the Civic Hall. Gathered with Lin Xiuyi and others.

"Sister Sakurako, your performance this morning was amazing!"

"It's hard work, Sakurako!"

"It's alright, Shuichi! It's rare for you to come to Hakodate for the wedding and to take time to watch my game. It's really bothering you."

"No, today's game is very exciting, and Sister Yingzi also entered the finals as she wished. In the next step, can we think about the champion?"

"Although there is little hope, but I think it's still possible to think about it!"

...

I don't know if it was the morning game that gave Sakurako some confidence. When everyone asked about the championship again, Sakurako also showed more confidence. So when Lin Xiuyi suggested everyone to taste Hokkaido's unique seafood bibimbap, he was immediately warmly welcomed by everyone.

Lin Xiuyi drove everyone to a nearby seafood restaurant called Zezaki Aquatic Seafood Restaurant in the car lent to him. After getting everyone's approval, everyone asked for a full set of materials. Looking at the thick sea urchin, crab meat, and salmon roe covering the rice, Lin Xiu couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and said, "I'm on," and started tasting it.

Perhaps it was because it was approaching lunch time. There were a lot of guests in the cafeteria, but few people came here to taste seafood like Lin Xiuyi and the others. After all, a bowl of rice full of ingredients like this cost 3,200. And their behavior similar to tourists naturally attracted the attention of other diners present.

"Look, that girl over there looks like Akemi Ennoji!"

"No way, why would a big star come to eat in the canteen of an aquatic market like ours? You must have read it wrong!"

"Hey... Maybe you read it right. Look, someone on Twitter just said that Mei was watching a barista competition at the Civic Hall. Isn't that place near us?"

"No, I'm so lucky. I didn't expect to meet celebrities when I go out for a meal between work! Quickly take a photo and send it to your friends to show off!"

With the click of a mobile phone taking pictures, Mingmei couldn't help but stop her chopsticks and look at the direction of the sound. At the same time, Mingmei's companions also looked at the men who were secretly taking pictures. But she saw a few men in overalls nodding embarrassedly to her. Knowing that she was secretly photographed, Mingmei felt that the other party was a little too much, but she didn't mean to come forward to ask the guilt. However, Lin Xiuyi, who was sitting beside her, asked worriedly:

"Do you want me to warn them?"

"Forget it! Since everyone comes out together, it is inevitable that they will be recognized. I don't think they have any malicious intentions!"

Mingmei smiled and persuaded Lin Xiuyi a few words, and then secretly patted the back of Lin Xiuyi's hand to show comfort, while Lin Xiuyi nodded and smiled to show her understanding.

Maybe it was because they looked at Mingmei with some dissatisfaction. The men who were filming secretly just now felt a little embarrassed and did not continue to make further progress. Maybe they were really fans of Mingmei. One of the men saw Mingmei. Displeased, he stood up and apologized to Mingmei.

"I'm very sorry, we... just thought it was very rare to meet Miss Mingmei here, so I thought of taking a photo and sending it to my friends, that... we'll delete the photo now!"

"Actually... I just came to watch a friend's game, and I just wanted to come in and have a taste of paella when I was passing by! So... please leave me some private space for a little while!"

"Hey, I'm so sorry for you! We... we're leaving now!"

Seeing that the other party was a little ashamed and apologized to him, Mingmei smiled kindly and nodded to the other party. When those guys saw Mingmei smiling at him, they were so excited that they couldn't express their excitement.

"Hey, let them leave without confirming if the other party really deleted the photo just now~lightnovelpub.net~ Aren't you afraid of being found out by reporters and looking for trouble for you?"

Seeing all this, Yuko warned Mingmei a little worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, so many of us are out to eat together, others shouldn't see any problem!"

After everyone left the restaurant, Lin Xiuyi took everyone back to the Civic Hall. Everyone stayed on the seats in the hall, quietly waiting for the game in the afternoon. Just then, Mingmei's cell phone rang.

"Sorry, I'm going out to answer the phone!"

Mingmei said, and then took the phone and walked outside.

"Zuo! Excuse me... is there something wrong?"

"Amy...Are you in Hakodate now?"

"Hey! My friend is participating in the coffee competition here. I'm here to cheer for my friend!"

"But... I saw that Lin Xiuyi was also taken in the photo, you guys..."

"Uh... Which friend is I and Officer Lin know together, so..."

"Really?"

"Hey, I didn't lie to you at all, we are really just friends now!"

"Forget it... Let's not talk about this for now! The ratings of "ledinner" have been very good recently, and the Asahi station is very satisfied with this cooperation, so they intend to restart the last filming of "The Reasoning Will Be in "After Dinner" project, but in order to minimize the impact of the last male lead's death, the TV station wants you to cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department to produce a special program about the interior of the Metropolitan Police Department. In this way, we You can use your topic to make the audience forget the previous events, so...I want to ask Lin Shuyi to see if I can let him cooperate with your special program of the Metropolitan Police Department. "

"Eh...really? That's really nice, Zoe!"
