Chapter 173: Spring and Yuria’s Chocolate Donut (2)
It was a lazy midday on a weekday, just like any other.
Even though customer traffic had increased somewhat compared to before, maybe because the store was in such a remote location,
Greg’s general store remained quiet to the point where it was rare to even see someone passing by the window.
Thinking about it, that made perfect sense.
This wasn’t some kind of fantasy world where special materials or contraband flowed endlessly.
A general store in a world filled with mechanical contraptions and mind-bending magic?
Not to mention the store was precariously located near the fringes of the underworld, and there wasn’t even any advertising to bring in customers.
No matter how beautiful the clerk was, the structure of the place simply didn’t allow for high demand.
Still, recently, business had been decent thanks to promoting Karen, a top-class artisan, as a sales draw.
Every now and then, I found myself wondering if Greg hadn’t chosen the wrong business altogether.
“Well, it’s not like he’s trying to become some mega-tycoon. If it’s just about having no financial worries in old age, this much is enough.”
Perhaps it was because the store had built a reputation for evaluating the value of artifacts with surprising accuracy and offering far more reasonable deals than anywhere else.
