I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 605 603. Maid Cafe

What is the specific relationship between Kingsoft Internet and Kingsoft Internet Security, Xu Xin really doesn't know.

But with the word "Jinshan" on both sides, it means that the family must have left.

And Xu Xin has only two impressions of the Jinshan series of works.

The modified artifact of the year, Kingsoft Ranger, and Kingsoft, which was stuck even more stuck than Kaspersky.

Is Kingsoft Antivirus easy to use?
Difficult batch.

His first QQ account was stolen from a computer installed with Kingsoft Antivirus.

In the era when "Absolutely Infatuated" dominated the music charts, a QQ account named "Absolutely Infatuated" is the password of all his accounts.

That QQ account includes, but is not limited to, a big sister from Inner Mongolia, a young lady who agreed to meet him when he got into Guangxi after his college entrance examination, and two divorced young women from Yanjing...

They are all the girls he hooked up with in chat rooms, webpages, and forums!
It was his most unforgettable online dating memory during his adolescence!
However, just such a very important QQ account in his life died under the defense of Jinshan Duba.

pain.

It just hurts.

And now looking at this strange man who introduced himself as "Chen Rui", he finally understood...

It's really unfair that my QQ account died!
The person who was supposed to be an anti-virus software came to Japan to buy manga during his working hours!
Can this company still be good?
One co-founder is fishing, so what can others do?

With a stomach full of complaints, he stretched out his hand:
"Hello, hello, nice to meet you."

Although it was a joke, but the look of the swordsman in his eyes was real!

You give back my older sisters, younger sisters, and divorced young women, bastard!
Naturally, Chen Rui didn't see that Xu Xin wanted to kill him after knowing his identity.

He just asked curiously:

"Why is Director Xu here?"

"Uh... for a casual stroll, Mr. Chen, where is this?"

"I'm here to buy comics!"

He was obviously very old, but when he said this, Xu Xin suddenly felt that the fat sorghum in front of him suddenly looked ten years younger.

There are stars in both eyes.

And Xu Xin also nodded:

"It can be seen that Chen always really likes "Saint Warrior"."

"Haha~ Yes, I have liked it since I saw the first edition when I was young. Director Xu also came here on purpose? Do you also like "Saint Seiya?"

Looking at his eyes looking for a bosom friend, Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"No, just stroll around. I was invited to participate in this Tokyo Film Festival. Haven't you been to Akihabara before? Come and have a look."

"Oh, so that's the case..."

As Chen Rui said, he looked at the clerk who was packing for him.

I'm afraid the clerk will spoil those hardcover comic books.

Soon, the twenty or so books were packed into one... Look at the box containing the holy clothes.

The clerk bowed, indicating that it was all right.

Only now did Chen Rui unload his schoolbag, and after unzipping it, he carefully put the box into the schoolbag as if holding some holy relic.

After finishing all this, he showed a satisfied look.

After putting on the backpack again, he smiled and said to Xu Xin:
"Then... Director Xu, take your time?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:
"Mr. Chen, go slowly."

"Hey, goodbye, Director Xu."

Meeting by chance, and there is no opportunity for the relationship between the two to go further.

So there is no such thing as "leave a call".

Everyone kept restraint, and after sending farewell blessings to their fellow villagers in this foreign country, they went their separate ways.

This was just a small episode, Xu Xin didn't care.

After walking around the bookstore on the first floor, he headed upstairs.

All kinds of figures, cosplay props and so on, just watch the fun there.

Not to mention, it's quite fresh.

He has already visited all kinds of high-end shopping malls in China, but here he never gets tired of it.

The main reason is... Although I knew that Japan has a strong two-dimensional culture, I have never seen it before.And now seeing how these animated images are perfectly integrated into the lives of the people here, he is really a little surprised.

Especially when I came here, I saw some people who were not cosplayers, but just liked a certain anime character, so they blatantly dressed up as a certain cartoon image and walked on the street...

For a social terror person, it is simply unimaginable...

After going around for a while, he felt a little hungry.

So, he said to Shang Yuanai:
"Ms. Shangyuan, shall we find a maid cafe? Is it still open at this point?"

"...Director, do you have to go?"

Shang Yuanai couldn't help asking.

She said to Xu Sang, if you really like this kind of taste... just find any idol in the entertainment industry and let her play the maid.

Why do you have to "take risks with yourself"?

But Xu Xin nodded:
"I haven't been there, go and have a look."

I have only seen some maid cafes on the news before, and I have come here, how can I not experience it once?
At least you have to know what's going on, right?

Seeing this, Shang Yuanai obediently led the way.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of cultural differences.

In Japan, the status of directors is very high.And this kind of high-status person must maintain his dignity in front of the public no matter what kind of life he is in private.

So, for many people, if the director chooses to go to a maid cafe to film or something... Everyone will think that this director has a sense of life and is very good at grasping the tastes of young people.

But it would be incomprehensible if the director showed up in a maid cafe in private.

If you want to eat omurice, drink coffee and eat desserts, there are so many high-end coffee shops to choose from, why do you have to go to a maid coffee shop?
Not that maid coffee shops are bad.

To put it bluntly, this kind of shop is just a cooking kiosk with a maid gimmick.

But...it doesn't match the identity of the director.

It's a pity that Shang Yuanai is only a translator, and she can't say these words.

I can only do it obediently.

So, the three of them left the shopping mall all the way, walked for a while on the street full of Two-dimensional culture in Akihabara, and saw a store with a bright brand.

＠ほぉ～むカフェ（home cafe）

Pointing to the Western decoration style, but the plaque is a cartoon-style sign, Shangyuan Ai said:
"That store won the award for the most popular maid cafe in Akihabara in 2005. Director Xu, do you know the word "moe"? It's the Chinese character for moe."

"Yeah, I know. Buzzwords, they seem to have come from you, and our netizens also like to use them. Mengmengda, Mengdada, etc..."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Shang Yuanai nodded:
"That's right, the word moe was the number one buzzword in Japan in 2006. And this word is widely used, and it came out of this store."

"Oh?"

Xu Xin's eyes lit up:
"It means that the word "cute" was invented by them?"

"Yes. So I recommend choosing here."

Shang Yuanai gave the reason why she brought Xu Xin here.

But there was another reason she didn't actually say.

She didn't dare to take Xu Xin to a cartoon-style maid shop.

That kind of cartoon style has become popular in the past two years. Compared with the HOME CAFE in front of you, or the oldest Cure Maid Café in Tokyo, that kind of cartoon-style maid coffee shop is more about service than coffee and taste. .

The maids are indeed getting cuter.

But... as a Japanese, she also has her own national pride.

Maid cafes are Japanese otaku culture, which allows foreigners to recognize their own national culture. It is a very honorable thing to be a Japanese.

But the more glorious things are, the less they can mess around.

That cartoon style has lost the essence of "coffee shop".

This kind of old store is not the case. Their service must be above the standard line, but it will not be so marginal.And the taste of coffee and the flavor of food can also be guaranteed.

Although there is no maid who hugs your arm as soon as you enter the door, and calls "Master" delicately, making you feel the warmth of Oupai, the overall style is definitely not shameful.

And look at Director Xu's appearance...

Seems very satisfied too.

……

Xu Xin was indeed satisfied.

The birthplace of the catchphrase "cute"... No matter what, you can increase your knowledge, right?

So, he followed Shang Yuanai to the door of HOME CAFE.

As soon as I walked to the door, a single door was opened, a standard black and white match, good looks... the girl who wasn't particularly high-profile, but not ugly opened the door, and enthusiastically murmured a few words to the three of them.

Xu Xin didn't understand the others, but he understood the phrase "Gouxiu Jinsa".

"Master" means.

Hey, people are so enthusiastic in our childhood.

Following Shang Yuanai's communication, the three followed the maid into the coffee shop.

The first reaction is that there are many people.

There are many guests, and there are many maids.

Some are black skirts and white aprons with black silk.

Some are black dresses and white aprons with white silk...

The hall, which was about a hundred square meters, was full of guests, and these maids fluttered among the aisles like flowers and butterflies.

Then, Xu Xin didn't know what happened, so he heard the maid who led the three of him in said a word, and then a group of maids shouted slogans at him in unison.

"They said: Welcome home, master."

After receiving Shang Yuanai's translation, Xu Xin nodded.

Then continue to follow the maid to the only empty corner table.

The table has two rows of seats and one row of stools against the wall.

European-style wooden sofa-style benches cover the entire row of four tables.

The place near the aisle is the kind of European-style seat.

When Xu Xin arrived, there happened to be two maids standing at the table next to the empty table.

Through the arms of the two maids, Xu Xin vaguely saw one maid drawing a picture on the coffee with a piping bag, while the other was writing something on the omelet rice with ketchup.

Although he didn't see the guests, he knew the process.

It seems to express that the coffee and omurice are made by the maids themselves.

And when he was two steps away from coming to the table, suddenly, he saw the two maids spun around the table in unison. He didn't understand what they said, but he heard the onomatopoeia. It's true.

"KIU~KIU~BUQIA~BUQIA~"

After the two girls circled around and made cute movements, they scratched their hands like cats, and then Xu Xin heard a male voice from the guest who had never met in front of the two girls:
"MOUEI~MOUEI~"

It is the word "cute" in Shang Yuanai's mouth.

Then, amidst the applause and cheers of the two girls, the omelet rice and coffee were brought up by the two girls, and a middle-aged woman who seemed very familiar to Xu Xin came out from behind the two of them, holding a Polaroid in her hand Gotta... I was taking pictures of Chen Rui who "hugged left and right".

"...?????"

Looking at Chen Rui who squinted at the camera and made a "V" gesture, sandwiched between the maids...

Xu Xin was numb.

Completely numb.

no……

Is it such a coincidence?

He stared straight at Chen Rui, completely dumbfounded.

And Chen Rui, who had finished taking pictures with the maid, also noticed that there were guests coming beside him.

First, he looked at Shang Yuanai and Su Meng.

After seeing these two people... also stunned.

Then search subconsciously.

He met Xu Xin's eyes directly.

"..."

"..."

It's really where we don't meet each other in life.

Xu Xin said heartily.

……

"Three omurice set meals, Director Xu, do you think it's okay?"

"it is good."

Xu Xin nodded.

The menu seemed quite simple. After he answered, he heard Chen Rui next to him say:
"Director Xu, you can try the big blessings made by their maids. It's delicious."

"Okay, then add five big blessings."

"No, no, I ordered too."

After understanding what Xu Xin meant, Chen Rui smiled and waved his hands.

Seeing this, Xu Xin didn't force it, but asked curiously:
"Mr. Chen often comes here?"

"Correct."

Chen Rui nodded with a smile:
"I come to Akihabara four to five times a year, basically every time I come here. But I didn't come to this one before, I followed her barista. I will go wherever the barista goes where."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the bar.

Xu Xin took a glance and could vaguely see a male barista brewing coffee there.

Then, Chen Rui seemed to remember something, and quickly said to his translator next to him:

"Let Mr. Yichuan add three cups of coffee and use my beans."

The translator nodded, and picked up the golden rattle in front of the table.

"Ding bell~"

After the clear voice sounded, the two maids came over just like cats who heard the sound of the can opening.

After a while of communication, the two maids were quite cute. They came to Xu Xin's table and talked a lot in that kind of soft girl's voice.

They said that Shangyuanai translated for Xu Xin:
"They said they were the master's friends, so Chiba-chan and Ai-chan will definitely prepare the most delicious coffee for the master's friends."

"Uh……"

Xu Xin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Can only nod.

Then the two maids left.

Instead, it was Chen Rui who smiled and said to Xu Xin:
"I saved some gold mandheling at the barista, Director Xu will taste it later."

"Okay, thank you."

Xu Xin nodded with a smile, and asked curiously:
"How does the omurice taste?"

"It's okay, it's pretty good. This is where their family's heart is. The tomato sauce is also boiled by themselves, and you look at the rice..."

Pointing to the sticky rice that was almost brown in color, Chen Rui explained:

"It's made with risotto, and the taste is not bad."

"Oh~"

Seeing Xu Xin suddenly realized, Chen Rui continued:

"Is this the first time Director Xu has come to a maid cafe?"

"Yes, I just want to experience it. I have only seen it on the Internet before, so I can gain knowledge."

"Then it's definitely right to come to this shop. Although it is a maid shop, the coffee and cuisine are not inferior to the traditional kiosks outside. There are all kinds of maid cafes here in Akihabara, but this kind of service, food, and taste There are not many places that can reach a certain level.”

Chen Rui said while eating.

Seeing that he seemed to like chatting quite a bit, Xu Xin simply asked:
"Mr. Chen particularly likes the Two-dimensional culture?"

"That's right. I'm the top [-] registered members of Bilibili."

"For... what?"

Seeing Xu Xin's blank face, Chen Rui seemed to be used to it, and introduced Xu Xin:

"Bilibili, "Railgun", does Director Xu know about this animation?"

"..."

Hearing this name, Xu Xin vaguely felt familiar.

"It seems... the protagonist is called Sister Pao? Right?"

"Yes! Misaka Mikoto! LV5 capable person... the heroine of "Scientific Railgun" and "Magical Forbidden Book Catalogue"! The Bilibili I'm talking about is a... very small two-dimensional website in our country .It used to be called MIKUFANS. I registered as a member before changing my name..."

As he said that, seeing Xu Xin's appearance of listening to the scriptures, he knew that he really didn't understand.

So I changed the way of explaining:
"The website is similar to Youku and Tudou. It's just not so utilitarian. Look at the current Youku. It takes a 20-second advertisement to watch a video. It's really..."

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

elder brother.

If I remember correctly, I seem to be a shareholder of Youku...

And Chen Rui looked at Xu Xin with strange eyes, and asked in bewilderment:
"what happened?"

"……fine."

Xu Xin smiled and shook his head, not mentioning this.

But chatting, there are words coming and going.

So he followed Chen Rui's words:
"So, this Bilibili is also a video website?"

"Yes, Two-dimensionalACG's niche video site. The main reason is that there are no advertisements, and there are basically anime and Two-dimensional videos in it."

"...If there is no advertisement, the operating cost is a bit high, right? Especially if it is a video website."

"That's it."

Chen Rui responded:
"I don't know how long they can last."

As a member of Bilibili, his point of view is actually the same as that of Xu Xin.

That is, this kind of non-profitable method, a small website that uses love to generate electricity will basically not last long.

But he didn't worry too much about it.

Bilibili is gone, he still has ACGFUNS.

While eating, he casually asked Xu Xin:
"Director Xu also likes Two-dimensional content?"

Xu Xin especially wants to answer that I definitely don't like you...

But it's a bit inappropriate to say that.

So he responded with a smile:
"I don't delve into it, but I will follow some favorite animations and manga. For example, Hokage and Pirates..."

"Saint Seiya, Director Xu?"

"I don't read much. The main reason is that I can't accept the style of painting. It feels like watching girl comics..."

"That's true."

The two of them just picked up the style of various comics, or counted down some old comics and chatted.After chatting until Xu Xin's omelet rice was served, the style of painting collapsed.

"Director Xu, they said you should read it too. This is a magic that can make omelet rice more delicious~"

"..."

Xu Xin's forehead instantly became sweaty.

The reason is very simple. After the omelet rice is served, people have to write on it and ask Xu Xin what to write.

Xu Xinxin said that since you don't know how to write Chinese, just draw a heart.

I thought this was the end of the matter, but who knew that after drawing the heart, what kind of "casting" did these two maids come up with, just like when I saw Chen Rui's table just now, chanting all kinds of cute spells... If it's just like this It's nothing, he can accept it.

But the problem is that in the end, what is required is that the maid and the master recite the spell together, but if you want to recite the "Moe ェ Meng ェ" spell, you have to add actions...

My big old man, the straight steel man who is hard to the end, let me draw two strokes next to the cheeks with both hands, and read the words together...

Brother, I am afraid of society.

No, why do you look like Haidilao?
Is it a maid cafe, or a hell for social horror?
But it just won't work if you don't do it.

The more inked he is, the more attention others will pay here...

No way, just bite the bullet.

then……

"KIU~KIU~BUQIA~BUQIA~"

The first maid turns first.

"KIU~KIU~"

The second maid casts a spell with a fairy wand.

Finally, it was Xu Xin's turn and the three of them.

Shang Yuan'ai is fine, but Su Meng also thinks it's okay.

It's just that Xu Xin's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he put two hands next to his cheeks and clenched his fists:

"Is it... Mommy..."

In desperation, he also said that it was a split.

then……

"puff……"

Chen Rui burst out laughing.

But fortunately, the two maids also knew that they were foreigners, so they didn't care about the pronunciation problem. In the end, Xu Xin, who seemed to be the most honorable host at the table, served omelet rice. After putting together a Polaroid, the pre-dinner ceremony It's over.

At this time, Chen Rui, the strange millet, looked at Xu Xin and said with a smile:

"Isn't it super cute?"

"..."

Seeing his look full of "OTAKU", Xu Xin who didn't know how to complain for a while could only nod:
"Ah."

With the end of the "uncomfortable" maid ceremony, he was finally able to eat.

And Chen Rui didn't bother, he still had half a plate left to eat.

Not to mention, the taste of omurice is really not bad.

The coffee is also okay.

The perception of sweetness and bitterness is well balanced.

He eats fast, he finished a plate of omelet rice in three plus five and divided by two.

And almost at the same time, the maids brought over several cups of coffee cups that were completely different from the creamy coffee just now.

And a wave of maids was changed in great detail. These maids are relatively mature. Instead of the lively and lovely girls just now, they exude a sense of elegance.

Speech has also become "restrained" a lot.

It smells like a maid from a noble family.

"I've been waiting for a long time, hand-brewed Gold Mandheling coffee. Please use it slowly."

Gee.

The slightly "cold" but elegant appearance made Xu Xin smack his lips.

Really full of details.

No wonder it can form an industry in Japan.

Cute for a while, elegant for a while, which man can stand this?

Nodding politely, he picked up the coffee, smelled it, and took another sip...

Ok.

Good coffee is just different.

Really bitter.
