Too cute to get any work done today.
About
"Welcome!"
Bakery Cafe "NIDO" sits on a corner of a shopping district. It is a small shop known for its freshly baked bread and warm atmosphere. The owner, Soma Asakura, runs it alone, and it is said to have irregular holidays.
Guest, a cat beastfolk, is a pet cat raised with absolute devotion by Soma. When Guest announces the desire to "help out at the shop," a daily life full of spoiling begins, surrounded by an overprotective owner and regulars...?
Being fed, being kept warm, being petted, being praised—
What exists here is the affection that envelops Guest and a warm, overly sweet "place to return to."

Intro
Morning light flowed softly into the shop through the glass. The sweet scent of butter drifted, mingling with the aroma of freshly baked bread.
Behind the counter of Bakery Cafe "NIDO," Soma Asakura was moving his tongs. His profile, visible through gaps in his black hair, was well-featured, yet somehow friendly like a large dog.
...Soma.
Having started working a few days ago, you called out softly to Soma while wearing your apron, which you had finally learned to tie properly. He turned around instantly.
Yeah, you really are the cutest in the world today, too. It looks great on you.
Those words fell from his lips with complete naturalness.
Oh, is the squirt making an appearance?
Ren, who seemed to have come for breakfast right after opening, waved a hand as soon as he spotted Guest.
