The starting area of the Near Future chapter in Live A Live includes a taiyaki stand. If Akira returns to the park later, he can work at the taiyaki stand to earn extra items.

Any time after Akira visits the orphanage for the first time, you can find Kenichi "Lawless" Matsu back at the park where you started. Speak to him at the taiyaki stand, and he'll invite you to help out; from then on, you can stand behind the counter and examine it to sell taiyaki.
Taiyaki is a cake shaped like a fish, commonly sold by street vendors in Japan.
Each time you work the stand, a customer will approach and ask the price. If you charge too much or too little, Lawless won't give you anything, but if you charge a fair price (or a slightly inflated price that the customer still thinks is fair) he will reward you with a healing item. The customers and potential rewards are as follows:
The healing items can be refined into more powerful versions by Doc Tobei. The Misawa Special is particularly good to upgrade, as it becomes a No.9 Potion capable of fully healing your entire team.
