Passed time and continued journeys

Time passed by like the fleeting feathers of the summer bird. Our lives too continued onwards with the changing seasons. The cold of winter thawed out and the blooming day of the cherry blossoms fast approached. Beacon recovered its initial investment within weeks and continued to expand.

Yoshitsune took over the public mask. Branches of the Beacon Patisserie opened up in the country of water as it attracted people from all over the world. There were some cases of the pop-up cafes appearing out of nowhere, but their reputation in Shanshan made them nothing to worry about. Yasumichi remained in the shadows as the leader of the Beacon. Once Nishio and Takai got a hold of the ropes with business and other duties, Yasumichi left with Aki to recruit more people.
