[The video opens to Kenichi on a couch with a rather majestic looking long hair black cat on his lap.]

Hey, everyone. So...I take it most of us have heard about Parasraya's little problem. It honestly got me thinking. Back in my world, we have animal cafes and cat cafes are probably the most popular. Basically, customers can enjoy interacting with animals while and in some cases can even adopt the cats. Doesn't that sound like a purrfect idea?

A cat pun, Kenichi? Really, kupo?

[Kenichi rolls his eyes to the voice coming from off camera.]

Cecil, c'mon it's part of the spirit. Even Saya agrees with me, right?

[He looks down at his companion, who stirred awake as he talked. The cat paused but only wriggled out of his grip and to jump onto the back of the couch and over.]

Tch. No one here has a sense of humor. Anyway, the point is, I thought I'd throw that idea out if there's anyone who wants to help out more of those cats. I know starting a business is rough but I might be able to help out with that. I don't look it but can I help with the book-keeping side of things. We're going to need the best equipment, maybe a few airships too, so any way to bring in profits and boost morale is good in my book. So please let me know if you or you know anyone who'd be interested in this.

[Let's be real, the cat pun bought him.]

A cat cafe is a marvelous idea- helping out both people and the animals. I would offer my coffee shop, however, I think it is too little for this kind of project.

[Too isolated as well, all the way in Yun'Aisha.]

However, I wouldn't mind contributing cookies and pastries to the shop that does get open and runs this idea of a cat cafe.

[No one says a no to a macaroon or chocolate fudge cookie. He even sends a picture of cookies decorated as cats that he made some time ago.]

If you're looking for capital, I can provide. I've been investing what coin I've managed to make on the side and came up with some provided interested business recommendations.

This might be one of those things that provides much needed income for everyone involved, and a well deserved respite with cats.

[Oh no. Those are too damn cute.]

If this does get off the ground and very popular, there is a possibility of making it into a franchise. I'll be sure to let you know if we get anyone else on board.

And dang, that's impressive craftsmanship there. I think you might give my own wife a run for her money. If I ever end up in Yun'Aisha, I'll be sure to visit. Seriously, I really appreciate your offer.

[If he heard that while drinking something, he would've done a spit-take right now. Kenichi was prepared to pick up a few loans but this was good news.] R-really? I'll be sure you'll get a fair share of the profits, but that's something to discuss if we can get the staff to operate it.

That's what I had in mind too. I mean being an airship pilot does pay well but there's no luxury of time to save up money for an airship of my own on top of daily expenses under the conditions we're in now.

I have been doing nothing but earning money when I first arrived. Establishing my business and then applying Ul'dahan merchant logic to the markets that I have invested into while investing what I had on me.

It's how I managed to afford a relatively sizable home as well.

True, I have invested some stock in airship parts, we will see if the new product turns a profit, and we can see about funneling a bit into your needs too.

[If he had access to his god powers, her business would be blessed with good fortune for a few months.]

I see. From the sounds of it, your merchant logic has served you well. Thank you very much for this. Now I hope even more that we can find staff who can man the flagship store then. Of course there's also the matter of location and how many cats can we take care of at one time.

Thank you for the compliment. I find baking and decorating quite relaxing so providing a few pans daily for your place wouldn't be a problem.

And I would be honored if you were to visit me here. Perhaps we could discuss the cat treats more in-depth?

Most of my time has been spent establishing hard earned merchant ties. It was rather rewarding to see the fruits of my labors come to fruition.

Of course, that is a good point. Finding a good location would be ideal. I can find some ideal location spots, with high traffic.

I was thinking.. some cat training or vet clinics should be a thing though, some of them cats are looking kind of sickly and some of 'em weren't too nice!

Hmm...You do bring up a good point. We definitely could use those too. They're going to need all the help they can get before we can put them up for adoption. I'd hate to ask everyone to foster them since I'm sure most of us have probably adopted a few.

Unless we aim for a cat shelter with the cat cafe as a side to help pay for medications and supplies?

That's a good idea! I really like that idea, a lot... um, so ... about cat vets or whatever, do potions or cure magic work on the cats? I hadn't even thought of trying that.. or - or is that new class cat-mo-nancy come with cat-healing abilities?
