In other words, because Maki Yanagi often works part-time at the cat cafe opened by Enyun-chan, Maki Senju and Maki Kozune also occasionally go over to help.
Coupled with the fact that Nyanko-sensei and Takashi sometimes go there as well, it led to the outrageous situation of that cat cafe operating 24 hours a day.
During the day, the routine of (Cloud Cat Cafe) is very simple. After all, the staff's tasks are similar to those of service staff in ordinary cafes. Anyway, petting and feeding the cats are done by the customers.
It is euphemistically called experiencing the life of raising a cat, but in reality, it's just making you spend money to buy our cat food and then feed our cats.
And at night, a group of youkai gather there for a party...
Uchiha Ryo has been to Enyun's cat cafe once or twice. He had to say she managed it quite well, at least raising a batch of loyal customers.
Enyun-chan: "Um, dear Master, can you give a little more funding?"
Uchiha Ryo: "... I see your cat cafe is operating quite well, are you still short of money?"
Enyun-chan nodded. "If this matter didn't come up, there would indeed be no problem, but now quite a few cats are starting to gain spiritual intelligence. I don't intend to let them continue to be cats that can only act cute."
Mn? When did his Enyun-chan become so kind-hearted? Could it be because her employees have gained intelligence and started asking for wages?
Hiss— As expected of the black-hearted boss Enyun-chan, only taking in those who work for free, huh? Wonder who she learned that from.
"So you want to spend money to buy cats?"
Enyun-chan: "I've looked for stray cats in the Tokyo area. Basically, all the good-looking ones are with me. This is also the reason why my cat cafe gained quite a lot of popularity just two months after opening."
Nyanko-sensei suddenly interrupted.
"You idiot, if you don't use these cat youkai that have already gained intelligence, then the new ordinary cats will still be tainted with the youkai's spiritual energy. Are you trying to create a Hyakki Yagyō of cat youkai!"
Uchiha Ryo: "It's not impossible."
Nyanko-sensei: "Mn? Hey, Takashi! Say something quickly, otherwise these two guys will mess up the youkai forces in Tokyo that have finally stabilized."
Takashi: "I trust Ryo-nii's choice."
Uchiha Ryo waved his hand. "It won't affect your youkai, and I don't intend to let Enyun raise those cats as youkai."
Enyun-chan suddenly realized something, pondered for a moment, and said.
"But people or youkai in this world seem unable to refine chakra."
It doesn't matter. After all, before Otsutsuki Kaguya descended on the ninja world, humans at that time didn't have the concept of chakra energy either.
As the progenitor of chakra, it was Otsutsuki Kaguya who swallowed the chakra fruit, or rather, the God Tree!
However, the one who truly established the Ninja Creed and passed on chakra was Otsutsuki Hagoromo, also known as the Sage of Six Paths.
Uchiha Ryo: "Enyun-chan, as long as you are willing, it can be done."
Enyun-chan tilted her head: "Done what?"
The definition of chakra generally refers to the product of mixing the spiritual energy trained by oneself and the physical energy extracted from the body's 130 trillion cells.
But tracing back to its roots, chakra was initially used by the Sage of Six Paths to connect people's spiritual energy. On the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, it is recorded as the power that "connects" people.
But later, people in the ninja world began to use chakra as a "weapon". People's spirits were no longer connected, so they connected their own spiritual energy and physical energy.
In other words, the original chakra was actually a key, a key connecting physical energy and spiritual energy.
Because people in this world have never been exposed to chakra, their bodies are locked.
And the power Enyun-chan possesses comes from the Two-Tails, and the Two-Tails is chakra split from the Ten-Tails, so she can completely become this chakra key!
Enyun-chan's eyes lit up. There's such an operation? Then wouldn't she be able to let that group of cat youkai that just gained intelligence cultivate chakra, and then train them all into Ninja Cats!
Mn, I'll start doing it as soon as I get back from this trip! She wants to revive the Ninja Cat Clan in this world!
...
Cruise Ship — Hayasaka Ai and Goto Hitori's Room.
"Bocchi-chan, you don't need to act so reserved. Since everyone came out to play together, we are friends."
Goto Hitori fiddled with her fingers. "But I..."
Hayasaka Ai: "Social anxiety, fear of strangers or whatever, just relax. Everyone won't eat you. And I guarantee, even if you do something wrong, everyone won't say much. After all, you were invited by Ryo-classmate."
Goto Hitori: "Ugh..."
Hayasaka Ai rested her chin on her hand. "Let's not think about that. What have you been doing this summer vacation, Bocchi-chan?"
Bocchi-chan thought for a moment. "My summer vacation... usually practicing guitar at home, occasionally going online to read news and watch videos."
Hayasaka Ai: "That's really ordinary..."
Bocchi-chan scratched her head. "Then what does Hayasaka-classmate do?"
Hayasaka Ai's expression became somewhat complicated.
"As for me, I spend most of my time working."
Working? Isn't this summer vacation... Could it be a part-time job? But Hayasaka-classmate doesn't look like a child from an ordinary family, why does she need to work part-time?
Seeming to see Bocchi-chan's confusion, Hayasaka Ai sighed.
"Can't be helped, my family arranged work for me very early on. I can only go to work every day."
Speaking of which, Shinomiya-ojousama really doesn't know how to be considerate of her employees. How nice it would be to let her, this maid, rest for a while!
Unfortunately, she can only think about it. After all, without Hayasaka Ai, Shinomiya-ojousama's life would probably turn into that of a semi-invalid.
The root cause is still because Shinomiya Kaguya simply doesn't know how to keep up with the times... She completely doesn't understand the internet!
IT idiot describes Shinomiya Kaguya. She uses mental arithmetic whenever possible instead of a calculator. She doesn't use Google Maps but checks an atlas. Even when checking information, she doesn't go to the internet but looks for encyclopedias in the study.
There is a computer at home, but Shinomiya Kaguya at most looks at the news and weather forecast on the homepage.
Most of the daily life matters are handled by Hayasaka Ai.
Bocchi-chan: "What kind of work does Hayasaka-san do?"
Hayasaka Ai shook her head. "Sorry about this, it's that kind of confidential work."
Confidential?!
Could it be! Goto Hitori thought of the scene when Hayasaka Ai tra... taught her to study, that oppressive feeling and the nervousness of almost being killed.
Bocchi-chan began to curl up her body. She really wanted to crawl into the shadows and hide now.
"Hehe, what are you thinking, Bocchi-chan? When I say confidential, it's actually because I'm a bit embarrassed, just like a maid in a maid cafe."
Goto Hitori raised her head and saw Hayasaka Ai blink her eyes, revealing a gentle smile.
This sunny, angel-like smile reminded Bocchi-chan of Ijichi Nijika, who also had blonde hair.
Mn, how could such a gentle person be a dangerous character like an assassin, killer, or bodyguard? That's right... Hayasaka-san even taught her how to be a maid.
Hayasaka Ai changed the subject. "But my job is shit!"
Bocchi-chan: "Uh... then why not quit the job?"
Hayasaka Ai puffed up her cheeks: "Because without work, there's no money to enjoy life. The feeling of having no money is also shit!"
"Since it's all shit, I might as well choose the one where I can still earn money to enjoy myself."
