Two bottles of Life Recovery Potion completely pulled Anby back from the brink of death.
Although Furina didn’t know medicine, she had the Omniscient Analysis Monocle.
After putting on the glasses, she began to observe the other person’s condition.
She had already been pulled from a near-death state to a weak coma.
“She is no longer in danger of dying, but she is still very weak.
After all, she slit her throat; anyone who does that would be in bad shape…” “Thank you so much~ This…
uh, Manager Furina, right?
Did you just open this general store recently?” “Yes, I just took over from the previous owner not long ago.
Ahem~ Although we are only selling Life Recovery Potions right now, don’t worry, there will be more novel little gadgets for sale later.” Nodding, Nicole stroked her chin, her eyes observing very smartly.
“By the way, Manager, where did you get this potion from…
Do you have any channels~” “I am the source of the goods, these are all refined by me…
However, these are just basic versions.
If I have more materials later, I will refine intermediate and advanced versions.” Hearing this, Nicole was secretly amazed.
If the basic version can save someone with their throat slit, how insane must the advanced version be?
Nicole’s mind raced.
Hiss~ Not simple, this person is definitely not simple…
Nicole stepped forward with a smile, extending her hand.
“Haha~ So impressive…
Then the Cunning Hares will definitely have to build a good relationship with you, Manager Furina.” “Mm, fine~” Furina didn’t say much.
Although she could only use some simple Level 1 magic now, it was completely sufficient for her own general store, so she had no worries about any trouble.
“In that case, I’ll take the kid and leave first.
After all, she still needs to recover from her injuries, right?” With that, Nicole went to the table, hoisted Anby onto her back, and headed for the door.
Cissy, still holding the Silly Little Snake, waved goodbye.
“Come visit again sometime~” “Of course, I definitely will, hahaha~” Just as Nicole turned her head and tried to continue walking, she bumped right into Furina, who was standing there like a solid wall.
“Ouch~ Hiss…
Huh!
When did you get here…” Seeing Furina standing at the doorway, Nicole took a small step back, her eyes darting around.
“Boss of the Cunning Hares, may I ask…
you used two of my Life Recovery Potions~ Where’s the money…” Furina spread her hands and looked at Nicole with a sharp gaze.
“Ahahaha…
What money?
We’re friends!
Talking about this kind of thing would only hurt our friendship~” Her teardrop-shaped eyes slowly narrowed as Furina said with a smile.
“I’ve known you for less than an hour, where’s the friendship…
Give me the money~” Nicole had originally thought Furina looked like a naive little sweetie, so she tried to bluff her way out of it.
But since that failed, she touched the wallet in her pocket, feeling a bit of a headache.
“How much…” “One Life Recovery Potion is 2 Wish Coins, so two are 4 Wish Coins,” Furina said, holding up two fingers.
At this, Nicole looked at the bank card in her wallet, a bit confused, and frowned in bewilderment.
“Don’t you use Dennies?
What are Wish Coins…” “The exclusive currency of this shop.
You can use Dennies or other valuable items to exchange for them~ Of course, Wish Coins can also be exchanged back into Dennies…” “So that means previous items can be exchanged for Wish Coins and then for Dennies?” “Exactly…
But don’t think you can fool me.
I’m an Appraisal Master~ I can tell the exact value of the items you bring in.” Hearing Furina’s words, Nicole immediately started calculating in her head.
What else is there to say?
Before, whenever I found something valuable in the Hollows, I could only sell it on the sly to unscrupulous intermediaries or buyers, and then there were high transaction fees and all sorts of deductions…
Now, this general store can solve all of that.
“Alright!
I get it…
Then just swipe the card…
Help me exchange for more than a dozen Wish Coins~” Nicole put Anby back on the round table to lie down, then pulled the bank card from her wallet.
Seeing this, Furina tossed her beautiful hair, walked over slowly, and used two fingers to pinch the card, moving behind the counter.
Nicole followed her over at this moment.
She watched Furina insert her bank card into the slot of the cash register, and after pressing a few buttons, the cash register began to emit a faint blue light.
After a series of operations, the cash register drawer popped open with a clack, and 3 Wish Coins bounced out from inside.
[Insufficient balance, insufficient balance!] In an instant, the scene fell into an awkward atmosphere.
Before Furina could even speak, Nicole couldn’t sit still any longer and slammed both hands onto the counter.
“No way!
You…
Is the price of these Wish Coins really this high?
Over 300,000 Dennies only got me three Wish Coins, that’s 100,000 Dennies for one Wish Coin~” “What else?
You just said you wanted to exchange for a dozen or so, didn’t you?
How come you don’t even have enough for the recovery potions?” The two exchanged glances.
Nicole pulled out the bank card and silently tucked it into her wallet.
Then, she turned stiffly, walked slowly to the round table, scooped Anby onto her back, and ran toward the door.
That stupid snake Cissia didn’t even try to stop me.
Oh well, it’s fine.
It’s not like I can escape anyway…
The pink-haired girl with the white-haired girl on her back quickly reached the door and grabbed the handle.
But when she pulled hard, she found that the slightly worn wooden door was unexpectedly sturdy!
What’s going on?
Did she lock it?!
What kind of door is this strong— Tap…
tap…
tap…
Her inner monologue ceased as Furina’s leisurely, slow footsteps approached.
Cold sweat beaded on Nicole’s face as she turned flusteredly to see the white-haired cat girl strolling toward her with an air of casual ease.
She forced a smile.
“Haha~!
Don’t get worked up, Furina~ Don’t get worked up~!” Furina tilted her head, her expression unchanged, her tone dripping with amusement.
“And who’s the one getting worked up?
It’s so hard to guess~” “I-I’m just rushing back to the Cunning Hares to get your money~ See?
I didn’t even take those three Wish Coins~” “Is that so?” “Yes, yes~” “But Nicole, aren’t you the boss of the Cunning Hares?
If you’re out of money, who else in the agency would have any…
Besides, you don’t exactly give off the vibe of someone with a healthy bank account~” Hearing this, Nicole jiggled her impressive chest and waved her hand dismissively.
“How could that be~!
I still have savings, trust me…
best friend…” “Fine.
It’s still early, so I’ll go with you.
After all, you’re injured, so it’ll save you from making another trip.” As soon as the words left Furina’s mouth, Nicole deflated like a popped balloon.
Her voice became as thin as a mosquito’s buzz.
“Can I…
put it on credit first?
I’ll pay you back when I have the money.” Furina pursed her lips, her gaze shifting from Nicole to Anby, who was strapped to her back.
She rubbed her forehead.
We just met, and you’re already asking for credit?
“Sigh~ Just follow me…” “Eh?
What are we doing~?” Though she had no idea what Furina was planning, Nicole had no choice but to comply.
Approaching the counter, Furina stuffed the three Wish Coins back into the drawer, then looked at the pink-haired gal before her.
“Give me your card, I’ll refund your money…” “Eh!
Re, really?” “Mm…
You still have an injured person to take care of, and you’ll definitely have expenses.
Consider these two potions a friendship gift…” Handing over her bank card, Nicole looked at the white-haired cat girl in the blue and black outfit, instantly feeling a halo shining behind her.
“Furina…
Waaah, I, Nicole, have decided to keep you as a friend!!” After 300,000 was returned to the other’s card, Furina handed it back to Nicole, then looked at the twenty-odd bottles of recovery potions on the shelf, stroked her chin, and suggested.
“These potions won’t sell well if I keep them here, how about you help me sell some?” “Eh, sure, no problem!
If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s having a lot of connections on the street.
Besides, these potions of yours are quite impressive, I can definitely sell them like crazy for you!” Seeing the other’s confident expression, Furina nodded.
“You should take her back first, we can talk about selling the potions later…” “Alright!
Um, let’s exchange contact info, it’ll make things easier~” Nodding, Furina watched as Nicole took out her flip phone, then handed over her own.
After adding each other as friends, Nicole carried Anby on her back and left the shop.
Watching their figures disappear, Furina shook her head helplessly, then noticed Cissia standing nearby, still holding the snack bag with her cheeks stuffed full.
“You’re not gonna give me one?” “Ah~!
Oh, oh, right, right, here you go, Manager Furina, please enjoy~” Cissia nodded, hurriedly approached Furina, took out a small peach cookie from the bag, and held it up to Furina’s lips.
With a soft hmph, Furina opened her mouth to eat the peach cookie, then lay down on the lounge chair, chewing as she waited for the next customer to arrive.
