Chapter 41: All Sold Out
Inside the Inn's Room...
Leon stood beside Ellie, gazing at the plate piled high with cream puffs.
"Well, all that's left is to sell them. And you," he said, turning to Ellie, "will be the one selling them."
"B-But, Sir... No one would buy from me. I'm dirty and not good-looking," she replied hesitantly.
"Don't worry," Leon reassured her. "They'll sell on their own. All you need to do is hold them and walk around the market. The sweet aroma alone is enough to make anyone drool."
Ellie still looked uncertain. "But, Sir... How much should I sell them for?"
Leon glanced at the plate. "That's twenty-eight cream puffs... The ingredients cost about twenty-one coppers... Hmm, five coppers should be enough."
"S-Sir... That's a huge loss... If you sold all of them for five coppers-"
"Per piece." Leon replied with a smile.
Ellie's eyes widened. 'That's 140 coppers! That's way too much... Who would buy them for that price?'
"Don't worry, they'll sell," Leon assured her. "Just take them and go. I'll take care of the leftover cream in the meantime." He picked up the plate and handed it to Ellie.
