Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 738 Maid Restaurant

   Kishimoto Masayoshi got off the subway at Akihabara Station and walked out of the subway entrance. He took out his phone from his right trousers pocket and checked the time, it was time for dinner.

   When he was thinking about what to eat, a girl wearing long white stockings on her legs and a maid outfit held up a billboard to attract his attention.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi immediately had an idea. Then go to the maid restaurant for a dinner, and then go to see an underground idol performance. Such an arrangement is definitely a happy thing for otakus.

  Tonight, Masayoshi Kishimoto, a pseudo-otaku, walked to the maid restaurant on the advertisement without hesitation.

   As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by several girls also wearing maid costumes, with their professional smiles and movements: "Welcome home, master."

   Masayoshi Kishimoto thought it was very interesting, so he walked straight forward, and was led by a maid in the shop to an empty table to sit down. As soon as he sat down, she brought the menu she had prepared in front of her.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi came to this store for the first time, and he didn't know what was delicious and what was not. So, following an outrageous routine that could not be wrong, he chose what the store recommended.

   Kishimoto's right index finger pointed to some food pictures on the menu one by one. Even if you want to drink Scotch whisky or Chinese liquor, there will be no sale here. He had to ask for a cup of oolong tea.

   The maid in the restaurant said with a happy smile: "Master, please wait a moment. I'll go and prepare for you."

   After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Masayoshi Kishimoto watched her go away, but there were no bad thoughts in his head.

   Not only has he seen all kinds of beautiful women, but he has also slept before, so he would not put such an ordinary girl in his eyes.

   Maid restaurant in Tokyo, Japan at this time, not everyone can accept it. Many of them also imagine that the maid's restaurant is some strangely indecent place.

   Its existence is nothing more than providing a channel for otaku to turn fantasy into reality. In all fairness, the stuff here is a bit more expensive than the stuff in the same normal restaurant.

   However, it is also worth the money. After all, there are many people in this world who are willing to spend more for their dreams. It is unrealistic for a maid restaurant to be based on the same hourly wages as normal meals.

   First of all, for girls who can work here, the hourly salary is higher than that of working in the same normal restaurant. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to attract girls to work in maid uniforms in such a place.

  If the operating costs are high, then the merchants will naturally pass on these extra costs to the consumers.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi glanced at the surrounding tables, and there were people. Their clothes can be seen to be the standard otaku style.

  Jeans, sneakers, and plaid shirts should be tucked into jeans, and a backpack will never leave your body. This is the most typical image of the otaku.

   They are able to talk about the ACG culture they love, full of confidence, and even when arguing with others, they become powerful in an instant.

   In addition, on weekdays, it will more or less give others an external impression of being unconfident, mentally decadent, and not motivated.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto did not intend to eavesdrop, but the distance between everyone was relatively close, and it was easy to hear the content of the conversation between them. When people talk about excitement, it is easy to raise the volume naturally.

   In the eyes of Kishimoto Masayoshi, they are no different from ordinary people. What's the problem with spending money for what you like, paying for the lifestyle you love?

   Japan's otakus are not completely old-fashioned. They are just keen on subcultures, and they will satisfy their hobby by working part-time or working to make money.

  What ordinary children in Japan want, they generally use part-time jobs to make money to buy them. Many people have started working since their junior high school years, and in Japan, this kind of behavior is an extremely normal social phenomenon.

   Among them, there is no lack of girls who admire vanity and exceed their financial capacity, or choose aided dating in order to make money easily.

   Not long after, what Kishimoto Justice ordered was brought to the front by the maid. She never looked at him with any strange eyes.

   In fact, Masayoshi Kishimoto did not give the people here a strange feeling at all. He was already well-maintained, and he looked like he was about twenty years old, ten years younger than his actual age.

   In his age group, it is generally the main force of the otaku. They often have a certain economic ability, and they also have a lot of research experience on ACG culture, and they do not lack the vitality of young people.

   Not to mention, places like Akihabara are full of weird people. After staying here for a long time, working for a long time, and seeing a lot, it is not surprising.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto was infected by the surrounding atmosphere while eating his own dinner. He couldn't help thinking about the formation of ACG culture in his head, and why it could have a profound impact on so many people.

   Another way of saying is that since Japan was defeated in World War II, the Japanese were unable to vent their inner dissatisfaction and pressure, so they pinned their spirit on comics and cartoons.

   Over time, coupled with the rapid rise and take-off of Japan's economy, many children of ordinary middle-class families in Japan have become addicted to it without worrying about food and clothing.

   However, Kishimoto Masayoshi thinks that it is still quite one-sided. Ten or twenty years later, not only Japanese, but also Chinese, Koreans, Europeans and Americans, etc., are also deeply involved.

The only thing that can be explained is that there is a preference for this kind of thing in human nature. Either beautify or escape.

  The vast majority of ordinary people live in this unfair world, and the difficulties and setbacks they encounter will always produce a lot of negative emotions, which is also normal.

   Besides, it is extremely difficult for the common people in Japan to move up by themselves. The sporadic appearance of so many representatives is completely unable to replace the integrity of Japanese society, and then arbitrarily defined that Japan's class mobility is very good.

   Even if the social class is hopeless, people still have to continue to live. How can I not live so painfully, I need to find something that my spirit can rely on.

  ACG culture caters to this spiritual need of ordinary people. Akihabara culture can also be said to be Japan's common people's culture, it is not an exaggeration.

  This is a good place for them to put their spirits on. Everything in reality is unsatisfactory, and you can find a suitable outlet for your unhappiness here.
