Archipelago: the lost king
chapter 8 - opening shop

the next day, both of them immediately woke up early and went around the city center.The two were busy looking for a store they could rent.

some stores do have a good lrtak, but the price offered is too expensive. Noran and Rudra continued to look for stores that could be rented.

until the two found a store near the west gate, a small and slightly dirty shop indeed, but the location is quite good according to Noran.

"sir, isn't this store a little dirty?" ask Rudra.

"indeed, this store is dirty. With a little hard work, we can turn it into a good store.let's, we clean this store" said Noran.

"well sir." replied Rudra.

the two started cleaning up the store with zeal.Noran's borrowed money now only 2 gold coins left, very quickly depleted in Noran's hands.

at first Rudra was very surprised, in his heart, he thought that his master was very wasteful and liked to waste money.

in fact, he almost cried because of Noran's behavior. Of course, Noran did not know this.

the day went on, it was almost evening, most of the shops were well cleaned, there was little room left to be cleaned.

"uncle, stop first.uncle can go see them, and have them come here tomorrow morning." said Noran.

"well sir." said Rudra.

he rushed away amidst the passing crowd of townspeople, meanwhile, Noran continued to clean up in the store until late at night.

"huoamz.. I'm so sleepy.." murmured Noran.

unknowingly, he fell asleep in a shop chair.His hand was still firmly holding the broom and one hand was grasping the dirty cloth.

....

the next day...

Noran rushed back to the market, this time buying some cloth, wood and ink.

after getting the item, he returned to the store, looking at the store that was already clean.

"it's time to execute the stage three plan." Noran muttered with a faint smile.

he immediately wrote the cloth in ink, making writing sensational writing. Also, he made some paintings on the cloth.

he then displayed it in front of the store, installing it like banners and banners in the surface world (real world).

when Rudra arrived, he was surprised.The last night shop he rented with Noran was still dirty and seedy.

in addition, there is also a writing of cloth in front of the store.

"feel sweet food in the morning!"

"enjoy the day with some new dishes!"

as well as some strange paintings for them.

"uncle, if you're back" Noran said.

Noran welcomed the arrival of Rudra, who had come with his 5 subordinates.A puzzled expression appeared on their faces.

"sir, what sign did you put up?" ask Rudra.

"it's just a decoration. has uncle called them?" ask Noran.

"yes, I have brought it. so that the disguise remains safe I only bring one group" said Noran.

"that's good, uncle, give them the guns, and have them guard our shop secretly" Noran said.

"well sir, what exactly does he want to do?" ask Noran.

"i want to open a new store in this city. It looks like this store is more complicated than it seems, for that, as a guard, I want uncle to ensure our security while running this business" said Noran.

"i understand sir, indeed, it is difficult to open a business without ensuring our security first.I will have the other groups gather information and prepare to keep us out of the shadows" Rudra said.

"um, what a good plan uncle." said Noran.

Noran walked into the kitchen, then made a cake in the kitchen.not a difficult cake indeed, this is just a cake that he remembered.

"uncle, sit down and wait a minute" Noran said.

the six followed Noran's words, sitting patiently. Before long, a seductive fragrant smell smelled on his sixth nose.

"what's this sweet scent?"

"the smell of temptation."

"a delicious aroma."

"what is the master doing?"

the six talked, guessing what their master did.

finally, Noran's cake was finished. Noran brought 6 cup cakes to Rudra and the others.

"sir, what is this?" ask Rudra.

he picked up a cupcake, smelled it, smelled a sweet, seductive scent.

"it's a cake, try it. You can try it too" Noran said.

the six tried the cupcake before them. In the first mouthful, a sweet taste filled their mouths.

their soft and sweet taste together, so delicious.

"what is this food? so soft."

"yes, and sweet."

"really delicious food."

"mister, what is this food? why so sweet?" ask Rudra.

"this is a cake, I want to sell this in this store. You guys, stone me to make this cake famous huh?" noran.

"of course, sir, but how?"

"yes, how is it, sir?"

"it's easy. give this packet of cookies to people you meet randomly, and you have to go in a different direction" Noran said.

"it's easy sir." replied the six in unison.

"good, take this and share it" Noran said.

Noran gave a basket of cookies to his coconut, amounting to more than 50 packages.

"sir, isn't this too much?" ask one of them.

"no, it's just right. Take it easy, I'm hard to prepare for you guys" said Noran.

"sir is very kind, thank you sir!" said again.

"thank you sir!" say the others in unison.

the six scattered around the city, distributing cupcakes randomly.they gave them to the citizens they could afford.

their reaction is the same as when the six feel the cupcake.the face that feels pleasure and delicacy.

when they realized the cake was gone, they were about to throw the wrapper away.

"buy here!"

it was a map of Noran's shop with a smiling face, Noran was sitting inside the shop.

"it's time to wait for the bait to be taken." he murmured.

he smiled and looked at the blue sky, and as he heated up the sky, he remembered that he had not made a price for the cake.

"wate! I haven't set the price yet!" thought Noran.

Noran then rushed to think of the appropriate price for this cake. While thinking about the price for the cake, he also practiced martial arts, training his iron tinuu.
