[Planning to start posting around the end of November. Welcome, dear readers, and please add it to your collections!]
Fragrant, delicious white rice, salty grilled salmon that has been marinated, nutritious green blanched vegetables, and sweet, warming red bean tangyuan...
Before winter had fully arrived, the delicious aroma drifted from an old diner on a street corner in Yokohama.
Not long after graduating from university, Aoi Akagi received a letter from her hometown in autumn.
The crooked handwriting on the old paper said that, as of that day, the diner in Yokohama was officially being handed over to her. It also hoped that she would take good care of the place from then on.
Secrets hidden in her memories, mysterious connections between people, and a System that was almost indistinguishable from magic all came one after another after Aoi returned to Yokohama, shattering her once-peaceful daily life.
[The Migu Diner Livestream System 2.0 has been officially activated.]
[The System has been suitably updated, adding services such as shopping at the mall, exchanging for draw cards, and guest records...]
Even so, Aoi Akagi had no choice but to accept reality.
She began preparing all kinds of heartwarming dishes at Migu Diner and collecting the guests' stories of warm or sorrowful memories. In the end, she even received some strange mission requests...
But, System, I don't think you ever mentioned that your nickname was the "Gourmet Child-Raising System."
As she gazed at the bandaged little boy wearing a red scarf outside, the white-haired cat who loved sweets and wore sunglasses, the timid tea-rice loyalist who could turn into a tiger, and the eager, hungry eyes of the other little ones still on their way, Aoi Akagi could only stare.
Damn it, it's not like I was going to deny you a bite to eat.
On the hidden bullet-comment list in the livestream, lines of text flashed by.
[Has today's diner child-raising plan started?]
[It's started, it's started! Today's prize quiz is underway: Which guest is the little ones' father? lol]
[The person above is really busy. I'll just sit here and watch Aoi-chan cook, slurp slurp.]
Reading guide:
1. Inspired by the game The Diner of Many Memories.
2. The children she takes in are alternate versions from parallel worlds, so young and adult characters will appear together.
3. A heartwarming, healing daily-life gourmet story. Welcome, dear readers, and please add it to your collections!
Finally, thanks to my friend for the heartwarming comment:
"Even if it can't boost your stats, make people burst out of their clothes and glow, or show up in a crisis to save someone's life, warm, steaming delicious food is happiness all on its own."
