That shouldn&#8217;t be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a silly story, but for me, I&#8217;m thinking about how to deal with this in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this rate, I&#8217;m worried about what will happen as my son gets older, but I&#8217;m also looking forward to new experiences and encounters.&nbsp; It&#8217;s like, \u201cThe first time I do something&#8230;\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of my first time, I opened K\u00ccPLACE, a cafe and Ki relaxation space complex in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, which was also a new challenge for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was a ronin student, I left my parents&#8217; house and lodged on the second floor of a newspaper store.\u3000While working as a newspaper deliveryman, I attended a prep school. It was the coffee shop Brown at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While drinking coffee and talking with a shop owner and master, I forgot all about my stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although my salary was low and I was a ronin student, I was not in a position to go to school many times a week, but I feel that they supported me greatly emotionally. For this reason, I was wondering if it would be possible to do this in a comfortable space where I could drink coffee or tea and have a relaxing conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think many people have been working in new workplaces since April.
