First Customer

"Th-This... What happened?"

When the door opened, the girl was surprised to see the view behind the door as if it was connected to another place.

In contrast to the view of Shiyou City in front of her, what was visible from behind the door was a two-floor European-style building, and there was mist surrounding it which added to the mysterious impression.

"It's like the Anywhere Door." The girl muttered, remembering the Doraemon anime she had watched.

"Should I go in or not?"

She hesitated.

Turning back, only a dark tunnel awaited her.

"If it was Furuya-kun, he would have stepped up without hesitation."

Remembering the figure of the man she liked, the girl made a decision.

As she passed through the door, she breathed a sigh of relief because it did not disappear. Meaning, she could come back at any time.

"Roar!!!"

The girl was startled by the angry room beast, then hurriedly covered her ears with her hands.

After a while, the sound disappeared. Lowering her hand, she looked towards the source of the sound.

"Wow, the nine-tailed fox in the legend!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw a giant orange fox that had nine tails, staring at her hatefully.

"Ha ha ha... That's so funny. Not only is that girl not afraid, she seems interested in you, Kurama."

"Shut up, Shukaku! If not for this seal, I would have torn this human apart!"

Kurama glared at Shukaku.

The nine Bijuu were placed as guard dogs by Ars. As a precaution, he chained them up so they couldn't hurt any 'potential customers'.

"You're a strange girl... Aren't you afraid of us?"

In contrast to Kurama's rude attitude, Matatabi shows friendliness.

"I am not afraid. This fox looks really cute." The girl shook her head and didn't seem to be lying.

"Ahahaha...."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

This time it wasn't just Shukaku, the other Bijuu also laughed out loud at that response.

"Damn humans! I will kill you!"

Kurama felt humiliated, but couldn't do anything because the seal was suppressing it power.

"This is the first time I've heard anyone think fierce foxes are cute. You are an interesting human." Gyuki praised.

Among the Bijuu, Gyuki is the easiest to get along with Jinchuriki.

"Just what kind of place is this?" The girl asked curiously while looking at the nine giant animals with great interest.

"Who knows. This place was only established three months ago. We don't know for sure why 'that man' built this place." Kokuo answered.

"Hmph, 'that guy' is immortal. Even after being sealed by Rikudo, who knows what method he used, he managed to escape. Maybe he's just bored." Son Goku snorted in annoyance.

"That man is dangerous, you better leave here as soon as possible. Don't let yourself suffer the same fate as us." Chomei made a suggestion.

Because it couldn't do anything, Kurama pretended to be asleep.

"Thanks for everyone's advice, I really appreciate it. However, since I'm already here, I want to meet the owner of this place." The girl bowed and thanked it.

"Be careful, don't make that guy angry." Isobu reminded.

"Um, I'll remember."

Then the girl walked into the shop, opened the door, and entered.

The Bijuu didn't know the situation inside the shop because of the isolation array.

"Hey, has anyone noticed anything strange about that girl?" Matatabi asked suddenly.

"That girl is a walking corpse, similar to a person resurrected through Edo Tensei." Gyuki said.

"It's not the same. The awakening method is different. There are no Edo Tensei traits on her, and her body has no chakra." Chomei said.

"It has nothing to do with us. Who knows how long we will be trapped here."

Shukaku's words made the other Bijuu silent.

....

*Ding*

There was a sound of a bell when the girl opened the door.

"Excuse me, is there anyone."

"Wait a moment."

A man's voice came from upstairs.

While waiting, the girl looked at the items displayed on the shelves.

On the first shelf, she saw a row of test tubes filled with blood.

"Uchiha Bloodline."

"Senju Bloodline."

"Hyuga Bloodline."

"Otsusuki Bloodline."

"Bloodline..."

The girl read the names listed under the test tube rack. She didn't know what it meant, no details other than the name.

Next, her eyes fell on the collection of books.

"Magic Book from the Crimson Demon Village."

"Spirit Magic Book."

"Basic Introduction to Firearms."

As the girl tried to pick up one of the books, a man's voice stopped her.

"I suggest you don't do that. The items on the shelves can only be touched with my permission. Otherwise, you will trigger restrictions and will receive backlash."

Turning around, the girl saw a black-haired young man with crimson eyes that had three tomoe in his pupils.

Apart from the young man, there were also two little girls accompanying him on either side.

"Ah, forgive my impolite attitude. These books are too interesting, so I subconsciously want to read them." The girl apologized.

"Um, please sit down."

Ars pointed to a sofa specially prepared for customers.

"Is it okay? My clothes are dirty, they will dirty the sofa."

"No problem, I don't care about that."

After getting permission, the girl sat down on the sofa, the way she sat was very graceful, showing that she was once a young lady from a rich family.

"Restia, prepare tea. And for Est, get the cake in the refrigerator." Ars said.

"Finally, my training came in handy too." Restia smiled happily.

Because Ars never intended to learn to cook, and still wanted to eat three times a day, Restia took the initiative to take on the role of cooking.

During this period, she has been practicing cooking through books and videos.

"Um." Est nodded obediently.

Both of them immediately carried out their respective duties.

Sitting across from the girl, Ars used his destiny reading ability. In the blink of an eye, he already knew all the information about the girl in front of him.

"Interesting… Even though it's not perfect, it's still a method of immortality."

Hearing Ars's muttering, the girl was taken aback for a moment. However, considering all the things she had seen beyond human understanding, she knew the young man in front of her was no ordinary person, and perhaps not even human!

"Anooo... May I ask?" The girl was very polite, afraid of angering the other party.

"Sure. My name is Ars Idriss, owner of the Destiny Trading Club. Nice to meet you, Miss Sanka Rea."

"Nice to meet you, Ars-kun."

The girl named Sanka Rea was not surprised that the other party knew her name.

After the introduction session, Est came carrying a tray of shortcakes. Next, Restia came with tea.

Seeing a dish she hadn't seen for decades, Rea swallowed hard.
