"Why does Shuhei get to write this?" ... "Because he's the technosavvy one"
In downtown Tokyo there is a small, rather innocuous café. Now you may be thinking, “Yes, there are a lot of those in downtown Tokyo,” but hear me out. It’s got a rather homey atmosphere; with mixed round tables with surprisingly comfortable wooden chairs and squashy couches and armchairs. The walls are painted in jewel tones, blue, green, purple and red, and each wall has at least one bookshelf. On those shelves you can find quite the eclectic mix of books, from philosophy to romance and cyberpunk to fantasy. The owner prides himself on having a little bit of something for everyone. The food served is good with several basic types of sandwiches and soups. But what they’re really good at is the fruit desserts. Anything you can think of that can be done with fruit, they have done, and they have done well. They also have the most excellent smoothies.
There’s free wireless internet, and a couple of the wait staff even have technical abilities if you have problems connecting. It’s frequented (and staffed) by college-age youth, and is, in fact, near a college. It sits nigh next-door to the small, inoffensive Torano College of the Fine Arts, or TCFA. The owner, called Manager-sama by his own insistence, has a way with these youth. He gives flexibly scheduled jobs with quite decent pay, so he has many applicants.
Whether or not they stay is another story. The owner is somewhat eccentric. He takes only young male staff, on the opinion that he wants to attract lots of young female customers. He also gives the wait staff a name to use on the job.
I said he was eccentric. For you see, this café is run by the infamous Urahara Kisuke.
I see by your reaction that you recognize the name.
Welcome to the Fruit Parlor Café. We hope you enjoy your stay.
