Kuro Usagi's eyes widened. What a ridiculously unbusinesslike shop! They wouldn't let customers in five minutes before closing!
"If you're dissatisfied, please go elsewhere. You are banned from this establishment, banned!"
"Banned?! For this? You're incredibly disrespectful to your customers?!"
Kuro Usagi shouted. The employee stared coldly at her, with a look of disdain.
"I see. My apologies for stopping a 'Little Garden noble' rabbit. You may enter, but please state your commonality's name first."
"Ugh."
Kuro Usagi was speechless, but Arthas immediately answered.
"We're called 'No Name' commonality."
"Hoho. Which 'No Name' commonality? If possible, may I see your banner?"
Arthas also fell silent. The risk of having "No Name" or "Banner," as Kuro Usagi mentioned, was precisely this situation.
Only powerful shops would be so selective with their customers. They wouldn't risk serving untrustworthy clients.
All eyes turned to Kuro Usagi. Reluctantly, she whispered,
"Um… we… we don't have a banner…"
"Yahoo......! Long time no see, Kuro Usagi......!"
Before Kuro Usagi could finish, a young woman with snow-white hair, wearing a kimono-style outfit, burst from the shop and hugged her, spinning her four and a half times in the air before launching her into the shallow ditch across the street.
"Yaaaaah…!"
Splash! A yelp followed.
Sakamaki Izayoi and the others stared in surprise, while the employee helplessly rubbed her temples.
"Hey, employee. Does this shop offer a 'scary' service? I want a special version too."
"This shop does not!"
"I'll pay extra!"
"We don't do it!"
The stern employee flatly refused the equally serious Sakamaki Izayoi. They both looked intensely serious, like a pair of fools.
The white-haired girl, having launched Kuro Usagi with a flying tackle, buried her face in Kuro Usagi's chest.
"Hahaha, let me have a good look. Here, here, and there… you've grown even bigger! As expected of Kuro Usagi!"
Suggestive words echoed from the ditch.
The girls looked away, embarrassed, while Arthas stared intently.
Don't misunderstand; he simply sensed that Shiroyasha was incredibly powerful.
"S-Shiroyasha-sama, why are you in this lower level?!"
Kuro Usagi asked, struggling to sit up in the ditch.
"Of course, I sensed Kuro Usagi was coming! Hehe, is this alright? Is this alright? This kind of massage is certainly interesting!"
Shiroyasha continued rubbing herself against Kuro Usagi.
"S-Shiroyasha-sama! P-please let go of me!"
Kuro Usagi grabbed the girl's head, forcibly pulling her away and throwing her towards the shop.
Shiroyasha, spinning through the air, flew towards Arthas, who remained impassive, forming a sharp ice pick.
"Hey! Treating a beautiful girl you've just met like that? Are you trying to kill her?!"
As Arthas expected, Shiroyasha eerily hovered in mid-air, dodging the ice pick.
"Nothing… just curious."
Arthas said with a faint smile, the ice pick vanishing. Shiroyasha looked at him with interest, then smiled.
"Interesting… you remind me of someone."
Kudou Asuka, stunned by the series of events, finally recovered and asked Shiroyasha,
"Are you with this shop?"
"Ahem, indeed. I, Shiroyasha, am a high-ranking executive of 'Thousand Eyes.' If you have any requests, I can handle them for free, considering Kuro Usagi's sake.
In return, young lady, let me just gently squeeze your well-developed chest." Shiroyasha stood up, adopting a serious expression, while saying something completely unserious.
"Manager, that'll hurt sales. The boss will be angry." The employee warned coldly.
"Relax, the boss will be overjoyed to hear that the lower branch hasn't been closed down under my management for so long. She'll reward me handsomely." Shiroyasha shrugged nonchalantly.
Kuro Usagi, wringing out her wet clothes and miniskirt from the ditch, said with a complex expression,
"Ugh...… I didn't expect to get so wet."
"Karma…"
Sakamaki Izayoi immediately seized the opportunity to laugh.
Kuro Usagi could only wring out her clothes miserably, her rabbit ears drooping.
"Oh oh, these are the new members Kuro Usagi summoned? They all look pretty good. So, Kuro Usagi, have you finally decided to become my pet?"
With a snap, Shiroyasha opened a folding fan she'd somehow produced, concealing her lower face, her eyes narrowed as she looked at the group around Kuro Usagi.
Though initially appearing as an unscrupulous lecherous loli, this cool pose revealed a mature and authoritative aura.
After saying this, Shiroyasha's gaze lingered on Arthas, who seemed completely unfazed. He intrigued her.
She wasn't just making idle conversation; Arthas reminded her of someone—someone who was about to come to this lower level to see her.
He was almost exactly like her… that unpleasant aura of cold and death.
"No way! And how did you even reach that conclusion?!"
Kuro Usagi's rabbit ears shot up in anger. Shiroyasha, now serious, smiled and beckoned them into the shop.
"Alright. Let's talk inside."
"Is that alright? They're 'No Name,' without even a banner. According to the rules…"
"Consider this an apology for asking their name, knowing they were 'No Name.' I'll take responsibility if the boss complains. Let them in."
The employee made a sound of displeasure. In her opinion, she was only following store policy; it wasn't her fault if people were unhappy.
Under the employee's glare, the group entered the shop, finding a surprisingly spacious courtyard, far larger than its exterior suggested.
