| Mister S's Mystery Shop | ||
| One day before the store opens, after the sale had begun― | ||
Kalim  |
Oh no～～～～ Now I've done it～～～～!!!! | |
Deuce  |
Wh-what's wrong, Asim-senpai!? I suddenly heard a loud shout… eh, what are all these cardboard boxes for!? | |
Sam  |
Ｗｏｗ, what in the world is going on? | |
Kalim |
You know how the other day, Sam asked me to order 10 brooms for flight class online?
I thought I had ordered it correctly, but… it looks like I made a mistake with the product itself and its quantity…! So because of that… We received 100 of something that I don't even know what it is!! | |
Deuce |
Ah, you're right…! There's a bunch of things made out of bamboo inside the cardboard boxes.
It's about the size of… I guess maybe a tennis racquet? The tip is bent sharply like claws, though, unlike a broom… | |
Sam |
Aah, these are ＫＵＭＡＤＥ from the far east.
It's very helpful when it comes to farmwork and cleaning. You can use those claws to rake up roots and fallen leaves on the ground. | |
Kalim |
Uwa! My bad, Sam!! This was all my mistake!!!
Let me buy from you all these ＫＵＭＡＤＥ from you! | |
Sam |
I refuse, that would be our very last resort.
Little Golden Imp, it'll be your responsibility to sell each and every one of these ＫＵＭＡＤＥ. | |
Kalim |
Ehh, do you think I can do that? | |
Sam |
Ｙｅａｈ! You're now one of this Mystery Shop's spectacular Ｃｒｅｗ.
With a little bit of ingenuity, you'll definitely be able to make this ＫＵＭＡＤＥ into a popular product! | |
Kalim |
Got it. I'll do my best!!
Allllright, I'll definitely sell all 100 of these ＫＵＭＡＤＥ! Welcome! We have a special cleaning tool from an eastern country, ＫＵＭＡＤＥ, in stock today! It's a super useful tool for farmwork and cleaning! I highly recommend this product～～!! | |
Heartslabyul Student A Heartslabyul Student A  |
Who'd buy cleaning tools? We're not really people who need that kind of stuff, y'know. | |
Pomefiore Student A Pomefiore Student A |
This next time'll be the fifth time I've lined up to get a Mystery Bag. At this rate, I'll run out of money before I can get the thing I want…
[long sigh] | |
Kalim |
All those guys who've bought a mystery bag are all sighing so hard one after the other.
Right… I guess the Amazing Ticket wasn't in any of their bags. I thought that everyone who was coming to the store would enjoy the New Years sale, but… It looks like there's a ton of folks who are just disappointed. | |
??? ??? |
―Tch, as I thought. Most of our dorm students are all lined up for the mystery bag again.
No wonder there was no sign of any of them within the dorm. | |
Kalim |
Hm? That is…
Leona! Welcome, what did you come to buy today? | |
Leona  |
…Oh, it's you. You all seem to be busy with customers today too. You're welcome to just ignore me for the others. | |
Kalim |
Thanks for your concern! But we're okay right now.
The customers are all fairly settled right now, and I've gotten pretty used to this part-time job anyway. | |
Leona |
….Huh? Concern? At least it seems like the young little spoiled master is having fun playing shopkeep. | |
Kalim |
Yeah, it's super enjoyable! Why don't you apply for this part-time job next year, Leona? | |

Kalim |
Yeah, it's super enjoyable! Why don't you apply for this part-time job next year, Leona? | |
Leona |
No thanks. I'm quite busy, unlike someone else I know. | |
Kalim |
Well, I know that I end up so busy everyday I it feels like the world is spinning…
But once I see the happy smiling faces of the customers up close, all of that exhaustion just completely disappears! Somehow, it makes me feel just as happy. | |
Leona |
Is that so. Good for you. | |
Kalim |
Yeah! Ah, but… It's not like we only have happy customers leaving the shop.
Once in a while, there'll be a customer who leaves looking so depressed. When that happens, I also get kinda sad. | |
Leona |
… | |
Kalim |
My Papa does business all over the place.
He took me to a bunch of places when I was little. Papa's customers would always go home with a smile. Whenever I saw their happy expressionns, it would always lift my spirits too. I want these guys here want to enjoy themselves too. Haah… I wonder how I could help everyone smile. | |
Leona |
Well, good luck to you. At least so as much that you don't neglect your actual job. | |
Kalim |
My actual job… Ah, that's right!! The ＫＵＭＡＤＥ!!
Hey, Leona! Buy a ＫＵＭＡＤＥ for me. It's a tool to help you clean that came from the east. | |
Leona |
A ＫＵＭＡＤＥ? There's no way that I'd ever use any kind of cleaning equipment.
All I see is something boring and uninteresting that'll just take up space in the corner of my room collecting dust. | |
Kalim |
Boring…?
―Oh, that's it!! | |
Leona |
Eh? | |
Kalim |
So, this whole time I was thinking that this ＫＵＭＡＤＥ was missing something.
Thanks for your advice! I think I'll be able to do something with these thanks to you, Leona! | |
| ---- | ||
Kalim |
Sam!!! I have a thought about the ＫＵＭＡＤＥ!
So… | |
| ---- | ||
Sam |
I see… Seems like it could be a good idea, I suppose?
I happen to have here a box filled with items that I wasn't able to stuff into those Mystery Bags. You can use anything in here as you wish. Also, it may be good to have the Little Spade Imp help you with putting it together as well. If it's only for about an hour, I should be able to mind the shop by myself while you guys work in the backyard. | |
Kalim |
Thank you Sam and Deuce! Alright! Let's get to work as soon as possible! | |
Deuce |
Kalim: Yes! Let's do our best, Asim-senpai!
Uhhh, so we'll throw on a bunch of these artificial flowers, wrap it with a gold ribbon, attach some shiny glass beads… Ooh, there's a charm that looks like a scarab too! If I place it right in the center, it'll have the most impact! Yeah, it feels like this'll turn out really good. I'm gonna keep making more! ―When the customers come into the shop and see this ＫＵＭＡＤＥ, I hope they'll burst into a smile～ | |
| One hour later― | ||
Ruggie  |
Oh, finally I'm up at the register. Man～ I've really gotten tired of lining up too～
…Wait, Leona-san!? Why're you here at the school store!? | |
Leona |
You showed up at the counter right when I expected you would. Glad I didn't have to wait for nothing. | |
Ruggie |
I thought the whole reason why you left me some of your own money to buy you a Mystery Bag was so that you didn't have to line up.
Weren't you planning on soundly sleeping back at the dorm while I suffered here in line? | |
Leona |
Would be great if I could be doing that.
The only problem is that all our dorm students are here all packed into this store. There's no one I can dump my duties on to… I can't ignore that. | |
Ruggie |
What's with that super selfish reason!?! It's always in these kind of situations that you really show off your spoiled nature, huh!? | |
Leona |
Shut up. Just hurry up and finish paying so we can bring a few of these guys back home. | |
Kalim |
Next customer in line, the register is ope― …Oh, Ruggie! You came by again!
Ah, Leona's here too! What great timing. I got something for you. | |
Leona |
Huh? Why me? | |
Kalim |
There was something I wanted to give you… Wait a moment. | |
|
| ||
| Mister S's Mystery Shop | ||
Kalim |
The thing I wanted to give Leona is…
Ta-da! It's a ＫＵＭＡＤＥ I decorated! Don't you think it's gorgeous? | |
Leona & Ruggie  |
… | |
Ruggie |
Wow～～～ ...It's so fancy and sparkly. I don't really get it, but this kinda feels lucky. | |
Leona |
…And, you're giving it to me? | |
Kalim |
Yeah. It was all thanks to talking to you that I came up with decorating the ＫＵＭＡＤＥ, so this is my thanks!
Put it up in your room or something! | |
Leona |
I don't want it. | |
Kalim |
EEEHH!? | |
Ruggie |
Kekek! When you refuse so point-blank like that, I feel a bit bad for Kalim-kun. | |
Leona |
Ruggie… Don't be enjoying yourself just because all this is happening to someone other than you. | |
Kalim |
I put my whole heart into making it, hoping that everyone who could come to the store would be able to enjoy themselves.
The whole reason why I was inspired to decorate the ＫＵＭＡＤＥ super fancy was all thanks to Leona. Please, take it. | |
Leona |
…How thoughtful, thanks. | |
Ruggie |
Shishishi, I think it suits you, Leona-san. For some reason or another the color and shape kinda resembles a lion's hand, too. | |
Kalim |
A lion, huh… Nice! Then we can sell this ＫＵＭＡＤＥ and call it a "Lucky Lion's Paw". | |
Leona |
Shut up already. I only came over here to drag back my dorm students and I got wrapped up in this absurd situation… | |
Ruggie |
I just was about to buy Leona-san's Mystery Bag anyway. | |
Kalim |
Okay. Then I should hand this bag to Leona then. | |
Ruggie |
Please double-check to make sure the thing you were looking for is in the bag. If you don't like what you got, I'll take it off your hands, just as we promised! | |
Leona |
Fine… When this is over, we're going right back to the dorm.
Hm? This is… | |
Ruggie |
Eh, no way…
W-Woww―――!!!! It's one of the latest tablet models! Doesn't this cost like 100,000 Madol…? Even something like this is inside these Mystery Bags!? | |
Kalim |
Oh, I don't really get it, but did you get something good? That's great, Leona, Ruggie! | |
Diasomnia Student A Diasomnia Student A |
Wh-what? If I buy that weird, extravagant, broom looking thing, will it be easier to get something good out of these Mystery Bags? | |
Scarabia Student A Scarabia Student A |
You serious…? K-Kalim-ryōchō, that ＫＵＭＡＤＥ…
No, I mean the Lucky Lion's Paw!! I would like one as well!!! | |
Kalim |
Eh, you'll buy one!? Of course you can have one. There's 99 of these left! | |
Diasomnia Student A Diasomnia Student A |
Only 99 of them!? So the "Lucky Lion's Paw" is also a special limited time product? I have to hurry and buy one then! | |
Heartslabyul Student A Heartslabyul Student A |
If I can get my hands on one, will good things happen to me!? I-I'll buy one too! | |
Kalim |
No one was looking at the ＫＵＭＡＤＥ earlier… Why does everyone want one all of a sudden!? | |
Leona |
All the herbivores started swarming at once. | |
Ruggie |
Pretty sure it was just a coincidence, though. Everyone's so easy to lead on～ | |
Leona |
There's no way that this naïve little master could have intentionally made such a valuable thing too… | |
Kalim |
All the Lucky Lion's Paws are just flying off the shelves…!
Deuce, help me at the register～～～! | |
| ---- | ||
Pomefiore Student A Pomefiore Student A |
Look, after I bought the Lucky Lion's Paw, I got the item I wanted from the Mystery Bag! | |
Heartslabyul Student A Heartslabyul Student A |
I didn't get what I was looking for, but there were some super rare items in mine!
The Lucky Lion's Paw is amazing. | |
Scarabia Student A Scarabia Student A |
Absolutely. And then when I placed the Lucky Lion's Paw in my room as decoration, it's so pretty and sets a nice mood. So that's like killing two birds with one stone. | |
Deuce |
Ahaha, it sounds like the Lucky Lion's Paw that Asim-senpai made is the talk of the campus. | |
Sam |
Indeed. I was pleasantly surprised by that Little Golden Imp. | |
Kalim |
Hm? Why? | |
Sam |
In that eastern country, beautifully decorated ＫＵＭＡＤＥ are actually sold as lucky charms. | |
Kalim |
Eh, really!? I didn't know… | |
Sam |
…And it can even be considered a lucky charm for businesses too.
Besides, it was an great windfall… It certainly was a "good opportunity in disguise." Nihihi. | |
Kalim |
It's all thanks to Leona's advice and Sam and Deuce's help that all the ＫＵＭＡＤＥwere able to sell so well.
At one point, I was worried as to what would happen, but I'm glad it went well. More than anything… I'm so happy that now there are more customers leaving the shop with a smile! Alllllright! From here on out as well, I'll continue to do my best so that everyone can enjoy their shopping experience! | |
