Sometime after Sojiro and Sae Came to Remnant

(Persona 5 ost - Beneath the Mask)

"Hmm…" Sojiro scratched his chin in thought.

"Something on your mind?" Futaba asked, eating some coffee cake.

"You kids sure like to hang out at that Mushroom Kingdom and Erebonia world, don't you?"

"Well of course. It's a fun place to hang out at considering Akira got into Smash." Futaba said. "Sometimes we participate too if he's not around! That's how we horn our skills! Plus I like hanging out with Alisa as she show me some interesting stuff. Plus her mom also offer me a job there too. I was tempted at first, but thought I should learn more about before I discuss this with you."

"I see." Sojiro mused. "And where exactly in Erebonia do you kids tend to hang out in aside from this Smash thing?"

"Toad Town! Everyone likes to go there and hang out… and help out Class VII and the Mario Bros with their kidnapping problem with Bowser."

"Heh, I see. So they're conveniently there by the time this Bowser guy makes a fuss?"

"More than likely, yes." Futaba nodded.

"Tell me, have you and your Phantom friends ever gone out on an adventure before?"

"Oh yeah, we have. Like Time Travel to rescue Peach from aliens called the Shroobs! They were nasty fellows. But we defeated their evil princess and things are good now. Haha! That was one of the fun adventures!" Futaba chuckled.

"Fascinating. So where're your new friends now"

"I dunno… I heard they graduated from their Military Academy. Well except Rean of course. Alisa told me she's helping her mom out with the Reinford group. Laura went out to master the Arseid swordsman style. Jusis with his family problem. Emma with her home. Same with Gaius. Elliot will focus on his music career. Millium went back to her work. What else..." She wondered

"I see." Sojiro scratched his beard in thought. "Hmm, all of you kids out in that world…"

"You feelin' lonely? You could just open up a new cafe in Toad Town. We can all come hang out with ya over there."

"What, are you kidding? How am I gonna run two cafes?"

"Ever thought of hiring someone that's not family?" Futaba pointed out.

"Like Akira?" Sojiro asked.

"Obviously! He know what he's doing. Plus, at least he doesn't burn the place down."

Sojiro chuckled. "Right… so, you think I have what it takes to hire someone to work here while I work in Toad Town?"

"Well, you don't always have to work there. You and some other guy can switch places every day. Mix things up a little."

"And how, pray tell, am I going to find someone?"

Futaba smiled. "Well, there is this one guy I've heard about. He's a friend of Isabelle… goes by the name of Brewster. Maybe even Machias! Dude's a coffee lover."

"Interesting…" Sojiro mused. "Alright, I suppose I can take a look around Toad Town and see what we can do."

"Alriiiiight!" Futaba fist pumped. "This is gonna be great!"

(BGM ended)

Later, at Toad Town…

(Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story ost - Toad Town)

"Alright… so what are we gonna do?" Futaba asked as she and Sojiro wandered around, the former having her hands behind her back. "We could build one from scratch."

"Eh, that'll take too long." Sojiro said.

"Well, I've heard of a service called the Super Mario Makers but… I've also heard how extreme they can get."

"How extreme?"

"Ann and Ryuji watched them build a home the other day… let's just say they were horrified when they were doing tests on how strong they built it."

"How bad?"

"Stuff like throwing Bob-ombs, spike balls, Bullet Bills… stuff like that."

Sojiro sweatdropped. "That doesn't sound very… efficient."

"Yeeeeah… let's go with like, I dunno, a rundown shop or something." Futaba shrugged. "Could spruce it up."

"But where would we find something like that?"

"Oh, I'm sure we'll figure-" Futaba glanced over at a cafe. "-Something… out. Hellooooo there." She said as she walked over. Sojiro raised an eyebrow and walked after her. "Buzzy Beetle Cafe… closed due to the owner's lack of interest and wanting to move on to something else." She read. "Cool! Found the spot!" She grinned and walked inside.

"Mmm… it's definitely been closed for a while." Sojiro said, noticing the cobwebs in the area.

"Hmm… definitely a fixer upper." Futaba said. "Yup! This definitely sounds like a wonderful project!"

"You sure about this?"

"Of course! Nothing like refurbishing a place like this!" She grinned. "Just think… this place could be the best cafe in town!"

"Hmm, you might be on to something."

"Oh yeah!" Futaba smirked. "So, shall we get started?"

Sojiro nodded. "Yes. Let's do it."

"Alriiiight! I'll see if anyone's available!" Futaba said, pulling out her phone. "Let's see… Haru… no, she won't do…"

"Why not?"

"Well, she's currently looking for a spot to build a new burger joint somewhere." She said. "…Although, perhaps I can get Yusuke. He can definitely get to painting a place like this!"

Sojiro chuckled. "Well, alright then… let's get to work!"

"Yeah!" Futaba fist pumped, and then her phone buzzed. "Hmm?" She wondered. "From Makoto?"

"Everyone, meet me at Sae's place. It's urgent."

"You mean right now?" Futaba texted back.

"Yes!"

"Alright, I'll be right there."

"Sorry, dad… Makoto wants us at Sae's place for some reason."

"Right now?"

"Yeah… I'll be back soon!" She said as she opened up the door and ran off.

"Mmph… sure, leave your old man alone to do everything by himself." Sojiro mumbled as he looked out the window, where he would see a few Toads, Erebonians, Faunus, Koopas and Hammer Bros lounging about on a bench. 'They don't look like they're doing much… perhaps I could get them to help me out?' He thought to himself. "Hey, you guys!" He called out to them as they turned to him. "You want to help me out refurbish this place?"

"Oh yeah? And what do we get out of it?" A Toad asked.

"How about free coffee cake."

"…You had me at free cake!" A Hammer Bro said as they rushed over and went inside where they immediately started working.

"Heh, that was fast." Sojiro chuckled.

Sometime later...

"And… that should do it." Sojiro said, as the cafe had been polished, refurbished and repainted. "This is more like it." He said and then turned to the workers. "And your payment." He said, handing them coffee cake.

"Thank you!" A Koopa said as they took their cake and walked out, waving goodbye to Sojiro… and then a minute later, Futaba walked back in.

"Whoa! That was fast, I was gone for like… a few hours!"

"I had some help." Sojiro chuckled. "Where did you run off to?"

"Oh, back to our world. There was some hacker who wanted to pique into Sae's file, but I put a stop to it, found the hacker, and arrested him on the spot. Turns out he's jealous of Sae or something."

"About her job?"

"Pretty much." Futaba said, hopping up and sitting on a table. "I have to say, it looks better all ready."

"Thank you. I just need to figure out a name for this place."

"Hmm… oh! I got it! Erebonia Cafe!"

"Nah, I doubt it'll work."

"Hmm… aha! Aethercraft!"

"That one sounds odd."

"…Okay, Powerbucks?"

"Sounds like a gym then a cafe"

"Artbucks."

"No."

"Orbalshop!"

"That's the name of a store."

Futaba sweatdropped. "Do you have any bright ideas then?" She deadpanned.

"Hmm... the word Cafe sits in but it needs something else with it." Sojiro said

"Like what?"

"What do you think?"

"How about Ume Cafe?" A voice suggest and approached them was Diluc.

"Ha, that sounds perfect." Sijiro said

"Oh Diluc! How ya been?" Futaba asked.

"Doing well, thank you for asking. I see you decided to open a cafe around here. Mind if I be your first customer?" Dulic asked.

"Of course. Would you like some Coffee cake with that?" Sojiro asked.

"By all means."

"Oh! Oh! Me too! "Oh, I'll take a latte!" Futaba exclaimed

(Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations OST - Godot ~ The Fragrance of Dark Colored Coffee)

"Coming right up." Sojiro said as he walked behind the counter while Futaba casually kicked her legs over the table as Diluc sit by the counter.

"Nice place you got here. I can tell it's just freshly built." Dulic said.

"That's because it is friend."

"I see. You new to this Kingdom?"

"You could say that, you?" Sojiro asked as he brew Coffee.

"I suppose I am. Just got here a few months ago." Diluc answered as Sojiro brought out some coffee cake and then Diluc got the piece and ate it. "Hmm. This is delicious. Almost make you feel right at home.

"Haha, makes me feel good to hear you say that. Sojiro chuckled as he brought over the Latte and Coffee sake to Futaba.

"Woohoo!" Futaba cheered and then prepared to eat the Coffee cake, then the doors swung open.

"Welcome to my new cafe." Sojiro said as he turn and see a tall woman with dark blue hair and asymmetrical bangs that are lighter at the tips and light emerald-green eyes. She also sports a pair of white blue-tipped earrings resembling teardrops. Her attire consists of a dark bodysuit embellished with silver details and a blue qipao-like overcoat. Her attire is decorated with a number of trinkets and accessories, including white bracelets on her arms and a number of chokers and necklaces around her neck from which a charm resembling a die hangs. In addition to this, She wears a furred white coat hanging from the back of her outfit somewhat resembling a cape and sports a pair of thigh-high boots that leave a part of her thigh exposed. "Well, you look fancy."

"Hehe, I'll take that as a compliment." She chuckled as she take a seat. "I heard the new cafe in town. You got a menu or was it just recently open up?"

"Recently actually. Would you like something?"

"Coffee and coffee sake."

"You got it miss."Sojiro said as he begin to prepared the Coffee and Coffee cake. "Here you go."

"Thank you." She said as she take a bite. "Mmm. My compliments to the chef." She said, then the door open.

"Well, I see you open the cafe." Sae said.

"Sure has. The usual?" Sojiro asked.

"Yep." She said as she sit down next to the woman.

I was considering making this place also a good place for information for Olivert and the others. So why not a cafe?
