"I am the owner of this milk tea shop, a little Tengu of the Kujou clan. According to you, are you going to arrest me too?"
Yae Miko gracefully moved to Feng Yi's side and then smiled at Kujou Sara.
However, this smile seemed a bit terrifying to Kujou Sara.
"Of course not, Guuji Yae, you jest. Everyone, fall back, there's no trouble here anymore!"
Kujou Sara gave Feng Yi a meaningful glance. Where on earth did this person come from to warrant such protection from Guuji Yae?
Guuji Yae claimed to be the owner of the milk tea shop, and the owner of this milk tea shop was the man in front of her. Doesn't that mean...
Kujou Sara seemed to have discovered a rather significant secret.
Since Guuji Yae had intervened, Kujou Sara naturally wouldn't refuse her. She waved her hand and led the Shogunate soldiers away.
This trip had revealed a secret that could shake all of Inazuma. However, Guuji Yae's meaningful gaze seemed to warn her to keep her mouth shut.
On her way back, Kujou Sara was filled with conflict. Should she tell Her Excellency the Raiden Shogun about this?
On one side was the most respected and admired Raiden Shogun, and on the other was the Raiden Shogun's most trusted Guuji Yae.
It was truly a difficult choice.
In the end, Kujou Sara decided to neither initiate, nor refuse, nor take responsibility. She would not proactively inform the Raiden Shogun, but if the Raiden Shogun inquired, she would not refuse.
As Kujou Sara led the Shogunate soldiers away, the onlookers also slowly dispersed, and the street returned to its usual calm.
However, this farce had made Pupu Milk Tea Shop, the center of the storm, the protagonist. Unknowingly, everyone now knew that this newly opened milk tea shop had a strong backing, with Guuji Yae supporting it.
To have the rare opportunity to witness Guuji Yae's beauty up close, how could one not buy a cup of milk tea?
And so, Pupu Milk Tea Shop was swamped, with demand far exceeding supply.
"I'll pay double the price, please, please give me a cup of milk tea made by Guuji Yae herself!"
"I'll pay five times the price, please give me one first!"
"All of you, step aside, I'll pay ten times!"
Initially, when Feng Yi made the milk tea himself, business was good, but it wasn't this absurd.
But when he couldn't keep up and tried to get Yae Miko to help make the milk tea, customers swarmed in like madmen, scrambling to buy milk tea made by Yae Miko's own hands, nearly bursting his milk tea shop.
Arataki Itto, standing by, looked on in disbelief. A cup of milk tea made by the proprietress herself was being resold for 50 times the price, a whopping 7500 Mora. This was too outrageous!
7500 Mora, how many lollipops could that buy?
As a temporary employee of Pupu Milk Tea Shop, Arataki Itto, with his subordinates, and Liben, worked with all their might to maintain order among the customers.
However, the customers seemed possessed. Arataki Itto felt that his Oni strength wasn't enough.
"Alright, this is the last cup, we're out of ingredients!"
Yae Miko said, clapping her hands. She was also very happy to see the milk tea shop booming, as the proprietress.
"The last cup, I'll pay 60 times the price! Please, everyone, give me some face!"
A merchant roared, wanting to secure the last precious cup of milk tea.
In their eyes, milk tea personally made by Guuji Yae must contain a magical blessing, and no amount of money would be a loss!
"Go play somewhere else, I'll pay 70 times the price!"
But there were obviously other wealthy individuals. As a competitor, he wouldn't give the other party any face.
"I'll pay 80 times the price!"
"I'll pay one hundred times the price!"
The price kept escalating, but fewer people were bidding.
"Everyone, grant me a moment's consideration. I will buy this cup of milk tea. I'll offer 200 times, thirty thousand Mora!"
At this moment, a tall, gentle-faced man suddenly raised the price to 200 times, astonishing the onlookers.
Following the voice, they saw that this person was none other than the current head of the Kamisato clan—Kamisato Ayato.
As the head of the Yashiro Commission, his move instantly silenced the scene.
Those merchants who were fiercely competing immediately withdrew. They might not care about ordinary people's faces, but the identity of this newcomer was too noble.
If they wanted to continue doing business in Inazuma, it was best not to offend the Yashiro Commission.
Out of respect for his status, everyone made way for Kamisato Ayato.
"Received 30,000 Mora. Thank you for your patronage!"
Feng Yi handed the milk tea to Kamisato Ayato and took the Mora from his hand.
Kamisato Ayato took a sip, praised the taste and creativity of the milk tea, and then left with a flourish.
'Inazuma, it seems an interesting person has arrived!'
Kamisato Ayato glanced at Feng Yi from the corner of his eye, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
No one knew what this seemingly harmless head of the Kamisato clan was plotting.
"Everyone, all the milk tea for today has been sold out. If you want some, please come again tomorrow!"
Feng Yi said to the crowd crowded around the counter.
Although the crowd was a bit disappointed, they didn't say much and left one after another.
"Arataki Itto, come here for a moment!"
Feng Yi beckoned to Arataki Itto before closing the shop.
"Boss Feng Yi, is there any more work? Just give it to this great me!"
"Today's work is finished. Here is your salary, please accept it!"
Feng Yi handed him a money bag. This was what he had agreed upon with Arataki Itto: 50 Mora for each customer brought in.
After deducting the 1500 Mora debt, he would also receive an additional 5000 Mora in remuneration.
"This... how can this great me accept this? It's all thanks to the proprietress's efforts, this great me didn't help much..."
The usually bold and straightforward hot-blooded youth was a little embarrassed when faced with the remuneration Feng Yi offered.
"This is the remuneration you deserve, separate from the proprietress's. I won't mistreat any employee, otherwise, who would be willing to work for me in the future?"
Feng Yi said with a smile. He had seen Arataki Itto and his subordinates do their best to maintain order.
Furthermore, without Arataki Itto, Kujou Sara wouldn't have been drawn here, and Pupu Milk Tea Shop wouldn't have become famous so quickly. When all was said and done, Arataki Itto deserved credit for his efforts, if not for his merit.
"Then... then this great me won't be polite! Hahahaha... Suddenly having so much Mora, I can be idle for many more days!"
Arataki Itto thought for a moment, then led his brothers towards the food store, as they hadn't eaten their fill in a long time.
Feng Yi didn't forget Liben's contribution either, rewarding him with double salary in the future!
"Let's go, my great hero. Let's enjoy a good afternoon with the money we just earned!"
As for Yae Miko, who contributed the most, Feng Yi decided to take her out for a delightful afternoon of food and fun with the Mora earned today.
