Chapter 117: Down to One's Soul

By the time Bat and I opened the door, the line had reached 50 people.

[Good morning. Please calmly proceed inside.]

[Let’s be considerate of others, okay? Please don’t push others!]

We both shouted loudly to guide the customers.

[We will only be selling one Mobile Force and one Mani 4WD per person today. Please cooperate so as to spread the commodity to everyone.]

[I’d like a Gufufu!]

[I’ll have a GGRKS!]

MFs are very popular, partly because of their low price.

People were assembling and playing with them from the moment they bought them.

After a while, some rich people began to buy Mani 4WDs.

[Hahaha, business is doing well, isn’t it, Yahagi-san?]

Leymus-san cheerfully arrived.

It seems that his whole family has come.

.

[If it isn’t Leymus-san. Thanks to you, as you can see, we are doing very well. Ah, yes, I have the item you requested from the blacksmith, Sanaga-san.]

[Ohh!]

What he asked for is a special nipper with the Leymus family crest on it.

It’s an essential tool for plastic model assembly, and having this or not makes a significant difference in the finished Mini 4WD.

[This is wonderful. Well then, let’s try it out on the MF and Mani 4WD right away.]

Leymus-san bought a new chassis and some custom parts.

Leymus-san isn’t the only one fiddling with Mani 4WD, as customers also lined up and waited for their bill.

I guess they were curious about the new store because there weren’t many entertainment options in this rural area.

Me and Bat couldn’t handle all? the customers alone, so a servant from the Leymus family helped us, and we managed to finish the morning’s business.

In the afternoon, more help arrived from Luganda, and we started to have a little more leeway.

Checking our sales, it was much more than my sales back in Luganda.

Perhaps because today was the first day, but with this much sales, my level of sales will go up again.

The mainstay of my business are the toys, but the sales of my snacks are also going well.

Drinking ramune helps one’s mana circulation and makes operating MF smoothly.

When people found out about this, sales went through the roof.

Leymus-san even drank three bottles by himself.

I went around the store to check on the customers.

It’s nice to see everyone having fun.

Oya, Gretel-san is standing there with a downcast look on her face.

Did her father scold her or something?

[What’s the matter, Gretel-san? You look really sad.]

[Ah, Yahagi-san……]

When I asked her what had happened, she told me that Gretel-san had been depressed because she hadn’t been able to win a Mani 4WD race.

[Putting aside Father and Mother, to even lose against Brother……]

Leymus family has a policy of not cutting corners when it comes to competition, and it seems that Lord and Lady Leymus had a complete victory over Gretel with their customized cars.

I don’t mean to argue with the Leymus family’s culture, but it was unbearable seeing a young girl looking this sad.

[Yahagi-san, is there a way to make my 4WD faster?]

[There is.]

[How can I do it!?]

[There’s this method called body trimming……]

[What’s that!?]

[There are other ways too, such as choosing a straight shaft or optimizing the motor.]

Gretel-san’s eyes sparkled.

The color of her eyes…… I guess it’s Leymus blood, who have been magic tool enthusiasts for generations, flowing in her veins huh.

At the age of eight, I could already feel an extraordinary passion from her……

[I can’t guarantee that this will work but……]

I shared every bit of knowledge I had with Gretel-san.

I thought the number of customers would decrease on the second day of the opening, but more customers came than on the first day.

It seems that the increase in reputation of the shop has led to an increase in the number of customers.

Thanks to this, my level increased for the first time in a long time, and a new product has been added to the shelves.

Product name: Dark Thunder Chocolates

Description: Love sparks like lightning! Consuming it will fill one with the courage to confess one’s love.

Price: 30 rims

So there’s a dagashi like this too huh.

The product seems to be a hit with young people regardless of gender.

I already have Michelle, so I have no confession to make now, but I tried it to see how it tastes.

The crunchy texture and substantial chocolatey texture are very tasty.

I think this flavor is Michelle’s favorite.

I was thinking of having her eat them when I return, but it seems that she herself had come to visit Betzel.

[Welcome. Please let us know if there’s anything you’re looking for.]

As the lord’s fiancee, Michelle came in with a calm demeanor as she served the customers.

If it had been before, she would have rushed up to me, saying “I came here because I was worried about Yuusuke!”

Michelle, who had acquired a mature and relaxed atmosphere, has become even more attractive.

[I heard the store was having difficulties, so I came to help out.]

Michelle came up to me and gave me a bashful smile.

I had asked her to stay behind in Luganda to develop energy packs that would power the Zord, but I guess she still ended up worrying about me.

[I’m glad you’re here. The long trip was rough, wasn’t it? Here, I’ll make you a cup of coffee, so you can sit down and try our new product. You’ll love it.]

I sat her down at a table in the corner and handed her a Dark Thunder.

[Oh my, chocolate?] 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵

[It has a very nice texture. Moreover, it apparently gives you the courage to confess your love to someone. Kinda interesting, isn’t it?]

[Right. I wish this had been available before Yuusuke and I started dating though.]

After taking a bite of the Dark Thunder, Michelle’s face lit up.

[It’s delicious! I feel like I could eat this everyday.]

Michelle’s love for sweets remains the same.

She’s especially fond of chocolates.

[Do you want to bring some of these with you on your next dungeon exploration?]

[Unnn, I’ll bring ten! Also…….]

Michelle started fidgeting.

[What’s the matter?]

[I love you, Yuusuke!]

Huh?

You’re confessing now?

[I love you so much that I’d die. I love you even if I die! I’ll love you even in our next life. I love you down to your soul!]

[A- Alright. I love you too……]

[I love you so much that I want to drive away all the customers here right now so we can make out right here, right now! I love you so much that I don’t feel like I will get any sleep tonight!]

The heck, what is with this moist, adult-like atmosphere?

You’re gonna cause misunderstandings here!

Fortunately, the customers were so engrossed in their dagashis and MF that no one seemed to notice her extremely heavy confession of love.

I didn’t see anyone’s attention directed our way, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, it seems like it’s going to be a busy day and night today, so I’ll go eat some stamina-recovery dagashis.
