I Opened a Chinese Restaurant in Mihua Town

/Complete. Thank you for supporting the official version./ /The sequel, a recovery project, Rice Flower Chinese Restaurant: Elegant Everyday Life, is complete. Set after the bonus chapters, it follows the daily lives of the Rice Flower Town ensemble. Check it out on my profile if you're interested./ /Prequel in the same series, Flower-Growing Office Worker Stumbles into a Rice Flower Town Love Triangle: Same couples, different fun./ I'm an ordinary international student in Japan. The year I graduated, job hunting nearly killed me, and buying merch seemed to be the only thing that could cheer me up. I never imagined that one day, all the merch in my room would vanish without a trace. Even more absurdly, a new area called Rice Flower Town suddenly appeared on the merch map. I knew right then that something was wrong. The only good news was that all my merch seemed to have turned into the balance in my bank account. It was just enough money to take over a shop, so I decisively opened a Chinese restaurant near home. ...So can someone tell me why, on opening day, a little mustached man showed up at my restaurant with a pretty girl and an elementary schooler in a red bow tie?!!! I think my restaurant may be cursed. After the little grim reaper detective, there's the part-time worker from a certain Poirot Cafe, a certain person who refuses to leave Japan and loves the number 8, and even a stoic, beefy guy who wears a full trench coat and a hat in the middle of summer. They all show their faces at my restaurant from time to time. Before I know it, they're having a gunfight in my place. At this rate, my restaurant is doomed. So you jerks, stay away! Just be fictional characters! Reader's guide: 1. First-person narration, very conversational style, with a bit of the vibe of the Japanese dramas Rikon Bengoshi and Legal High. You can enjoy it even if you haven't seen them. 2. Daily updates, usually between 9 and 12. Extra chapters may appear at other times. 3. There are lots of details about everyday life in Japan, adjusted to suit the plot. It contains plenty of authorial fabrications and isn't entirely true to life. Just enjoy the story, don't take it too seriously. 4. The pairing is with a revived Hiromitsu. The timeline is one where the Bomb Disposal Squad doesn't exist. 5. The heroine and the other original characters all grow as people. I write what I want to read, and readers can seek out what they like. It's normal if the story isn't to your taste. We can't please everyone, so let's part on good terms. 6. The profile picture is character art for this story. Please bookmark, comment, and follow me. It really matters. * Recommendations for friends' short stories: Goodbye, My Undercover Life, by Kong Ruo Qian Xue. Pairing with Takaaki. It's an adult romance. (Gestures.)
