“Ha!
You sell it for 50, give me 30, then add 10…” “That’s right~” “That’s not like you~ I thought you’d try to find some way to squeeze a bit more out of me.” Hearing this, Nicole feigned heartbreak and wiped a tear from her eye.
“Furina, just leave it at that, just misunderstand me like this…
Even though I have already given my heart~” “Pfft~ cough cough…” Before Nicole could finish her sentence, Anby behind her couldn’t hold it in and let out a snort.
Then Billy did the same, the corners of his display screen’s mouth almost splitting to his ears.
Furina, who had almost believed her, understood immediately upon seeing the expressions of the two behind her.
She looked expressionlessly at the now-awkward Nicole.
She slowly sat down in her chair and started not saying a word again.
“Haha…
Furina, you have to believe me~” “Cissia~” “Here~!” “Do you think I should believe her?” Hearing this, Cissia looked stupidly at Nicole, then said uncertainly.
“…Believe?” “Hmm?” “No no no, don’t believe her!!!” After Cissia finished speaking, she gave a silly little laugh, then turned back to stare blankly at the mountain of Dennies.
A quiet atmosphere also fell over the general store.
After a moment, Nicole rose with a forced smile, turned to glare at Anby and Billy, and chopped them each on the head.
“Weren’t we supposed to hold it in?
What’s wrong with you two?” “Ahahaha…
Boss Nicole, it’s too hard.
Manager Furina sells something for 200,000, you immediately flip it for four times that, and then you’re here acting all noble and generous…” “Billy!
Shut up!
Believe it or not, I’ll dismantle you tonight!” Looking at the scene of the three arguing, Furina sighed helplessly, and without disturbing them, she turned to Cissia and said.
“So that’s 9,600,000 Dennies here…
Hmm…
Cissia, bring all the money over, and I’ll exchange it for Wish Coins.” “Ah~ Oh, okay…” “Right, let’s round it up.
You can take the extra 600,000 and buy some of your favorite food.” “Eh!!
Really?
Furina!” “Call me Manager!” “Okay!
Manager Furina!” Cissia’s lips curled into a grin, and she threw herself forward to hug Furina, rubbing her cheek against Furina’s.
Then she began moving the money.
It was actually quite easy.
She just had to carry the boxes to Furina’s side, and then Furina would scan them with a scanner.
In an instant, the Dennies were converted into Wish Coins and entered the cash register drawer.
After all 90 Wish Coins were deposited, Cissia leaned against the doorframe, tossing a bag of Dennies in her hand, feeling very happy.
Nicole and her crew finally finished arguing.
She chuckled softly with her hand over her mouth and walked up to Furina.
“Oh my~ I only raised the price a little bit, you won’t mind, will you…” “I don’t mind, alright?
Stop acting so coy here, I’m not used to it.” “Hehe~ That’s good then.
Furina’s the best!
By the way, when will your next batch of goods be ready?” “In two or three weeks…
What, are you rushing me now?” “Oh my~ It’s just that we made a lot of money thanks to our Furina, so I’m happy…
By the way, this shop is great!
From now on, it’ll be the Cunning Hares’ base of operations in the city center.” Watching her talk with her hands on her hips, Furina frowned.
“Don’t make decisions on your own, I haven’t agreed to it yet~!” “Anyway, you don’t have many customers~ It’s empty regardless…
Besides, we just helped you sell all your goods!
It’s only fair to give us some special privileges, right~ Don’t worry, we won’t come every day, just once or twice in a while.
We won’t disturb you” “…Alright then, but don’t cause any trouble here!” “Hah~ Don’t you know us well enough?
How could we cause trouble.
I’ve already made dinner plans, so I’m heading out now~ Bye bye…” Looking at their departing figures, Furina unconsciously curled her lips into a smile.
“No wonder you wanted to buy a second-hand evening gown, it turns out it was for this…
Ah~ well, it’s fine, at least it can bring some liveliness to the shop” On the wall, the noon bell rang, and Furina stretched lazily, quickly clearing the trash from the counter.
“Let’s go~ Today’s earnings are good, we’re going for a big meal~” “Yay!
Big meal…
Big meal…” Furina flipped the sign on the door and took Cissia and the other little one to a popular high-end restaurant, where they splurged on a lavish meal.
After eating and drinking their fill, they went to the mall to buy some pudding and snacks, preparing to fill the fridge.
“Furina~ I want to buy more food, how about you head back first~” Knowing what this little snake meant, Furina nodded and decided to return to the general store.
After a quick cleanup, putting what needed to go in the fridge in the fridge and what needed to be placed in the warehouse in the warehouse, Furina stood up and stretched her shoulders, about to leave.
Suddenly, her peripheral vision caught the direction of the storage room.
Using the guidebook to open the storage room, Furina stepped inside.
Looking at the display cabinets inside, some items had already been placed there.
For example, the teacup and broken pocket watch she had bought from Lycaon last time.
After these items were acquired, they would not disappear but would instead be sealed in the storage room, waiting for someone to buy them.
The only drawback was that Furina couldn’t buy them for her own use with Wish Coins.
“Leaving these here is no good.
If they’re not on display, who will even know they’re here…” Suddenly, who always appears whenever Furina has a question?
That’s right, it’s our Lord General Store Guidebook!
The pages flipped rapidly, stopping on one of them.
[Are you worried about how to display the items from the Storage Room in the main hall?
It’s simple!
Just go to the corresponding display cabinet and use this Guidebook to project it into the main hall.] [This way, customers who enter will see it.
If a customer wants to examine or try out the item, it will briefly appear in their hands.
Only when the customer buys the item from the display cabinet can it be truly taken away from the general store.] Nodding, Furina, now fully informed, decided to start displaying the items she had.
Yes, exactly this teacup.
Although it was just a teacup, it was exquisitely crafted and of rare quality, making it a perfect centerpiece to start with.
Approaching the Jade Teacup’s display cabinet, she pressed the Guidebook against it, and a virtual option popped up in front of her.
After clicking [Display in Main Hall], the display cabinet instantly dissolved into a ball of energy.
Walking out of the Storage Room, Furina arrived in the general store’s main hall and saw the display cabinet containing the Jade Teacup.
She nodded in satisfaction.
“Not bad at all~ I wonder when my general store’s main hall will be completely full…
Now that my Mana reserve has reached Level 2, the number of spells I can cast has also increased.
Should I try hosting a dance party or a magic show or something…
hehe…
showing off in front of everyone…” Sigh~ Our Furina has started her daily daydreaming of becoming a star admired by thousands again.
In the afternoon, the general store operated normally.
Furina went to the basement to brew a new batch of potions, and at this time, the one watching the shop was our General Cissia!
She was holding a large bag of potato chips in her hands, and the counter was also laid out with cake, soda, and various small snacks.
“Ehehe~ So delicious…
slurp slurp~ Wow~ So good—” From time to time, one could still hear this Snakey’s exclamations.
Clack!
At this moment, the shop’s door was pushed open, and a mysterious person wearing a hooded cloak and hunching their body walked in.
The overwhelming aura that washed over her caused Cissia to lose her balance and nearly fall off her seat.
Scrambling to her feet, she stuffed the snacks into a bag, wiped her mouth, and hurriedly asked with a beaming smile: “H-how may I help you?” After a long silence, the mysterious person finally spoke from beneath the hood.
“Manager…
are you the Manager…?” “Ah, no, no, no, I am an employee.
Our Manager is busy with something right now.” “I want to see…
the Manager…” “Th-this…
Alright, alright!!
Please wait a moment, I will go get the Manager right away—” “Hmm…” The hoarse voice, combined with the intense pressure it exerted, made Cissia feel incredibly stressed.
She waved her hand hastily and then bolted toward the basement.
