In a corner of a small town in rural Japan, there was a mysterious café called “The Flower of Time.” It was said that, there, the café served a special coffee that when drunk would bring back long-lost cherished memories from the past or foretell your future.
One day Misaki, weary from all the hard hours she put into her job, decided to visit the café after hearing about it from a friend. As soon as she opened the café door, she was instantly drawn in by the dim lighting and warm atmosphere, making her feel as if she had stepped back in time to another era.
Standing behind the counter was a somewhat aloof young man named Yuto. Misaki sat down and after looking through the menu decided to order the “Memory Mocha”. While waiting for her order, Misaki passed the time by flipping through the cafe’s collection of vintage magazines and photos.
After a few minutes, Yuto brought over the “Memory Mocha” that Misaki ordered. The moment she took a sip, vivid memories of her childhood summer vacation came rushing back—playing on the beach with her best friend Akari and savoring their favorite ice cream. Feeling refreshed, Misaki thanked Yuto and went home.
As Misaki continued to visit the café, she gradually opened her heart to Yuto, who also began to smile little by little. Yuto, it turned out, was drawn to the cafe after hearing about it from a friend as well, and began working there to overcome his past. In his heart the shadow of a long-lost love weighed heavily on him.
One day as Misaki was finishing her coffee, she turned to Yuto, and said, “I’d like to have my own café someday.” “Me too, actually,” Yuto responded while looking at an old picture hanging on the wall. “I’d like to make a place where people can come and connect with others. I place where they can feel a little less lonely.” he continued.
Over the following weeks, as they shared their dreams with each other, their hearts gradually grew closer. However, Yuto, fearing that his past might take away Misaki’s happiness, he tried to distance himself. Misaki noticed this one day and said, “Yuto, I want to create a future with you, including your past.”
Moved by her words, Yuto finally allowed his heart to open up to Misaki and from that day they both vowed to work together to make their dreams come true. A few months later, Misaki’s café opened, and Yuto began working with her. The café became a place where people could share stories of the past and future, exchanging smiles. And as they lived out their dreams, the two of them wove a new love story together.
ある街の片隅に、「時の花」という不思議なカフェがありました。ここには、特別なコーヒーがあり、そのコーヒーを飲むことで、過去の大切な思い出や未来の夢を感じることができると噂されていました。
主人公の美咲は、仕事に追われる日々に疲れ、友人の勧めでそのカフェに足を運ぶことにしました。カフェの扉を開けると、ほの暗い照明と暖かい香りに包まれ、まるで別の時代に迷い込んだような気分になりました。
カウンターには、少し無愛想な男の子、悠斗がいました。彼は美咲が注文した「思い出のモカ」を淹れました。一口飲んだ瞬間、美咲は子供の頃の夏休みを思い出しました。親友のあかりと一緒に遊んだ海辺や、大好きなアイスクリームを頬張った瞬間が鮮明に蘇りました。
その後もカフェに通ううちに、美咲は悠斗に心を開き、彼もまた少しずつ笑顔を見せるようになりました。悠斗は、実はこのカフェの特別な力に魅せられ、自分の過去を乗り越えるために働いていたのです。彼の心には、かつて愛した人との別れが影を落としていました。
ある日、美咲は悠斗に自分の夢について話しました。「いつか、自分のカフェを持ちたいのです」と言うと、悠斗も自分の夢を語り始めました。「僕は、失った人のために、人々の心を結ぶカフェを作りたい」と。
お互いの夢を語り合う中で、2人の心は次第に近づいていきました。しかし、悠斗は自分の過去が美咲の幸せを奪うのではないかと、遠ざかろうとしました。美咲はそれに気づき、「あなたの過去も含めて、悠斗と一緒に未来を作りたい」と言いました。
その言葉に、悠斗は心を動かされ、ようやく彼女との関係を受け入れることができました。2人は共に「時の花」を大切にしながら、夢を叶えるために頑張ることを誓いました。
数ヶ月後、美咲のカフェはオープンし、悠斗も彼女と一緒に働くことになりました。カフェは、来る人々が過去や未来を語り合い、笑顔を交し合う場所になりました。そして、2人はそれぞれの夢を生きる中で、新たな恋の物語を紡いでいくのでした。
