Fake Cinderella

28 Frustration

And I came to this world almost for the first time to experience a good setback.

No matter how willing I was, no matter how confident the product was, I wouldn't be able to sell it without a trigger.

I learned that people have a lot of nerve getting their hands on products they've never eaten at all before.

"... you can't sell it"

"Right."

Rapidly, Rufa, who switched squad formations to join me, and Rug, a seller experience, are all over the round chair.

"After all, I wonder if it would have been difficult for me to get my first product"

They said the orphanage stalls were a thank you for selling out every day, but that's because every year, that's what they've been selling flowers here for over twenty years.

It's sad that the pile of wraps stuck in the cage on the table doesn't look like it's going to decrease.

"Because there are no similar products..."

"Are you saying it's a cookie and it's no good?

"Shiatsu, shiatsu. Wow, maybe... you still can't sell one?

Fee, who brought additional hollow cookies, frowns lightly.

"Uh, yeah."

"My daughter told me to make more and more, so I'm making them."

"... that's fine."

"I don't know why I can't sell it, if you could just eat it..."

Fee looks in trouble.

(... I might have been a little curious lately)

I didn't mean to be extravagant. Though not, but maybe I was still a little on track......

(His Highness's feeding was a winning streak, because the luncheon menu was very reputable and the official event debut went well...)

I thought if I made it, I could sell it.

It's delicious, so I'm sure you'll be happy.

(... it sucks)

He seemed to do something about it because he was self-loathing and his chest was mocking.

I feel like I want to cry because of the embarrassment that makes me want to scream, the shame and my ugliness.

But I don't have time to cry here.

(As early as tomorrow, under Zion will come)

So unless I can make contact with Theon, my chances of returning to the royal palace within the deadline are almost hopeless.

bread, and slapped himself on the cheek.

"Your daughter?

What's the matter with you? I can turn to that face.

"I was a little depressed. … but it's all right now"

It won't even start if you're stumbling around here forever.

(In the meantime, let's go market research)

"Rug, stick with me"

"Oh? Where are you going, young lady?"

It's a reconnaissance.

"Yes, I'd like to see and think about what I'm missing and other stores for sale"

"Heh..."

The lag laughed.

**********

First, we walk between our own stalls in the corner to the cathedral.

This is a competition investigation.

"... it's over there and there selling sweets"

"The stalls are all the same size, right? How come it's so big over there?

"It was originally two stores. That came about because the shopkeepers were married to each other. I know two houses there."

"You're not going to be reduced?

"Because what I'm selling is different.... Then, over there, it's a baked sweet, and it's a cake sweet on the right over there.... So, that's Bong Bong"

"... are the only baked sweets competing?

"Uh, there's candy, but that's the boulevard over there.... just not like amber candy at all"

"Really?"

"... you want to buy it?

"Huh?"

"I got a little money on me right now.... I told you before. Probably a grandmother who was accompanying the princess. Tsuji, the one I did on the carriage... I redeemed the brooch I got for you at that time. That's a pretty good price."

"I hope so...... sorry, let me buy it for reference"

"Oops. I won't spare my investment!

"Investment, is it?

"Yes.... an initial investment to sell"

"You're responsible."

That's what I said in my mouth, but I don't feel so much pressure.

"Well, please"

Smile.

"Whoa! Sasu is your daughter. You know."

"What is it?

"How simple is a man, so if he makes such a full smile, he'll stick around and contribute"

"Because people don't like to contribute!

"Isn't that nice? You like me. I hope your daughter is happy to laugh."

So I gently pinched my one-piece skirt and let her thank me gracefully.

"... thank you"

"Become!!!

"It's the finest thank you I can show."

"... you really are a noble lady"

"It's not 'Lady'. The truth is," Ma'am. "

"Lady..."

"But I don't mind.... just now, just a lady."

Because I'm not here.

"... ok"

Rag nodded as he showed the wind to think of something.

(The truth is I realize too...... that you or Rufa are not normal kids)

Age may indeed be a child. But you two have some secrets.

There's a secret the other kids don't have.

(Because I'm too familiar with it...)

Suppose there were no lies in the background of the first two people I heard, they are living ordinary people.

Yet even if I take one thing about the escort under the Archbishop, I am also well aware of details that I would normally not know.

(...... but you don't have to reveal it)

I'm not staying here.

So you don't have to know a secret.

You just have to leave Rug, Rufa and your daughter.

**********

"Oh, you've been buying in a lot. Welcome back."

"I'm home. I've contributed to your daughter"

"I got a contribution to make.... So, did you sell it?

"Uh, for now, there's only three amber candies"

That is utterly true.

"Uh, price tag, I'll rebuild it. It's all in 50D.

"Uh, you've seen the other stalls, haven't you? And yet, that strength? You're not selling, but you're not lowering the price?

"Yeah. That's right. It's not like you're pricing it wrong."

The wrong thing to do is sell it.

"Then we'll convene the seller. Make a publicity board for everyone who does the seller. Write it all 50D and lower it off your neck."

"Ooh."

"So what do you do?"

"So I'm going to do a tasting sale."

"Tasting sales?

"That's right.... Didn't Phee just say that? He said if you eat it, you'll know how good it tastes. So let's get them to eat."

"But I tried it..."

"Cookies are easy to crack, so there's something that's broken or crushed.... That's a little tough to sell as authentic. That's what you need to use."

"What about amber candy and molasses beans?

"There is also a honeysuckle in the packaging stage. Let's use that. The seller will be a taster for now."

Have three kinds in a cage and let them try it on the main street to direct you to the stall.

(As long as you eat it, you'll understand)

The price, Rufa says, is strong, but I don't think it's a problem at all, given the cost.

('Cause this would definitely be a deficit if it were a regular store)

Feg and sugar are free, so we can do it at this price.

(Only at this price at the festival, I think you should usually sell it for a hundred dee and a cathedral souvenir)

"Well... well, I'll be there too"

"Huh? Is your daughter going to be a taster, too?

"Yes."

I sneer.

"No, no, no, no, what, are you nagging me with such a natural face? She said no girls."

"Why is that?

"Lady, what if they kidnap you or something this time?"

"... kidnapping, is it?

"Whoa. It's a safe neighborhood with a lot of junior civilian and officials working in the Royal Palace, but it's not like there's no bad ones. A princess who looks like a young lady, because she's not after you."

"Especially the color of that hair..."

"Uh, so, how about this?

I put my hair together well with the triangle towel I used when cooking.

"This wouldn't be noticeable, would it?

What makes it most noticeable is this golden hair, so if you hide this, you'll figure it out.

"No, but..."

"You sell, you sell, you sell. I can't leave it to anyone else."

I'm going back to Master Nadir.

I missed Your Highness.

I wanted to see that blurry face.

I couldn't help but miss you.

I wanted to see His Highness and talk to you.

(For that matter, it sells)

Maybe there are more ways.

Maybe this is a very distant and naive way to go.

But this stall... selling this newly made treat and making contact with Shion in an impossible way was the most impossibly secret way I could go home right now.

(Absolutely, I'm leaving...)

I clenched my fist a long time.
