Meet Old Friends

Back in the food area, Ansel was selling jerky with a smile on his face, making the girl buying blush as red as a tomato. He smiled, chuckling, which just made the girl flush even deeper. 

This was a very good customer who purchased everything to the purchase limit so Ansel was obviously very kind.

"Here you go," he said, handing her the hemp bag with a winning smile, and the girl looked at him in a daze. 

"A-Ah, yes… Uhm…" 

"Be sure to check out our territory, okay? It's lovely there, almost as lovely as you."

"I-I… okay…"

Jun—who had just returned to this side—almost rolled his eyes and just smiled at the person next in line, who had been getting annoyed by the delays up front.

"Hello, dear customer," Jun said to the person, pulling the girl out of her daze. Realizing her gaffe, she flinched and quickly excused herself to leave. 

Of course, this was not without looking back wistfully in Ansel's direction.
