Finally the furniture was delivered and furnished perfectly. The group floor had six big shelves and a giant counter table which went from the stairs to the Main entrance which was at the other side of the room.

I had also ordered some mini shelves for the two basement rooms which were only for special customers. And of course beds for each room and dining table and everything else which was necessary.

It took us a whole day to arrange all the things that I had bought to arrange on the shelf. Organizing the same kinds of products on the same shelf and explaining how to read prices of each product to my employees was really tiring business. I said employees but only Eva with her responsible adult attitude and Jace with her boundless curiosity could follow what I was teaching them. Mimi had a permanent question mark above her fluffy eared head. Surprisingly though the kids understood more of what I was saying than Irene and Mimi. And I had to buy a real toy to distract June from all the new stuff she was planning to treat as toys.

It would look weird if everyone had different clothes and customers wouldn't know who to talk to for help so I bought and gave a simple uniform to Everyone navy blue vests for Eva and Jace who would work as cashier and solve customer queries which red vests for Mimi and Irene whom I had planned to use as guards.

Mimi still had a lot of healing to go through before she could work so for now only Irene would do the security duty.

I gave green vests to the kids without uniform to not make them feel left out as helpers.

I also asked the information guild and adventures guild to put on our grand opening poster on their announcement boards and they did for a fee of course.

We were ready for the opening.

The next day we opened for the business at 8 in the morning. The construction and various strange things happening into one of the busiest streets had garnered a lot of attention this past week and my advertising in the guilds with colorful posters with high quality graphics was such a novelty that people just came to see what was going on if nothing else.

So we were busy right from the start. Everything was priced many times more than what I had originally bought it in of course still I had left many life necessary things at the price that everyone could afford.

Even the cookies and chips were so popular that people asked for buying them in bulk but I had a strict rule about certain quality per person. Many did send others in their place to buy but that was normal I guess.

Eva was so busy writing everything down and making bills for people that I had to join her to lessen her burden. Even Lily and Ray were with us writing lists to make her work a bit easier.

I only got to know later that all the kids had asked Eva to help them practice writing the product list as I had explained the day before. And they were at it for quite some time last night.

Eva - Yeah, I was busy from morning to evening continuously not that I mind doing the job...

Lily - Yes, if only we could help more.

Ray - Yeah...

Hikaru - No you guys were pretty handy today. It was more than enough. The problem lies with our arrangement. We need more people.

Jace - Yeah especially the billing and writing staff. The most people were crowding while waiting for their payment receipts...

Hikaru - Yes, We at least need two more cashiers and one more person to help with guiding people and providing information. I saw how you were continuously speaking with one and then other person, pointing them into right directions.

Jace's eyes widened a bit and I also saw her cheeks getting a bit red I guess she thought no one was looking at her.

Eva - Yes, Jace had a lot on her plate too.

Hikaru - Okay I will post the notice for hiring three new people first thing in the morning, I was thinking about having some assistants anyway once you guys had a bit more experience...

Mimi - Hmm ? Why was that ?

Hikaru - So you guys could leave after a year and it wouldn't effect my shop.

Eva & Jace - Ahhhh...

Mimi - You think pretty far in the future don't ya ?

Hikaru - That's why I am the boss...

Everyone laughed at that and continued with their drinks.
