When evening arrived, Satou suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to the small shop in a long time. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't call Erina Nakiri, but took Tohru to the snack shop instead.
Before this, Satou had already posted a notice saying that he would be away for a few days for personal reasons, without a definite return time.
However, there were already quite a few customers gathered at the entrance of the snack shop.
Seeing Satou arrive, these customers were all invigorated.
"Shop owner, you're finally here."
"We come here every day to wait for you. We finally waited for you."
"That's right, I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat that kind of happy-inducing food for a day."
Several customers said one after another.
Satou hadn't expected these customers to wait for him at the shop entrance every day, and he was very touched. So he said, "I apologize. Every customer who enters the shop now will receive a free new drink."
"Really? That's great."
"Is it a new kind of drink?"
Upon hearing that there was a new drink being given away, these customers were all overjoyed, feeling that their many days of waiting had been worth it.
Next, there were about thirty customers waiting at the entrance, but the small shop could only accommodate twenty people at a time, so the rest could only queue at the entrance.
After a short while, the customers who had taken their seats each received a cup of fruit juice.
This was juice produced by Shuckle, which Satou had brought with him when he came.
"What kind of fruit juice is this? It tastes amazing!"
"Yes, I've never drunk such sweet and delicious fruit juice before, boss, can this fruit juice be sold?"
Customers who tasted it were all pleasantly surprised. It was their first time drinking such a refreshing and sweet fruit juice, and many customers even directly inquired about buying it.
"I'm sorry, this is not for sale."
Satou said.
Shuckle doesn't produce much juice every day, so he temporarily had no plans to sell it.
At this moment, customers continuously arrived after hearing the news that the small shop was open.
"What is this? A new drink?"
"It looks so delicious."
Customers waiting in line at the entrance all curiously asked about the drink people inside the shop were drinking.
"That's right, this is an extra gift from the shop owner, but it's only for the customers who were initially queuing at the entrance."
A customer in line said.
"Shop owner, how much does this drink cost per cup?"
Many customers remembered the milk they had bought before. If the quality of this drink was the same as the milk, then it was definitely worth buying!
"I'm sorry, this is not for sale. For now, it's only given to the customers who were waiting at the shop entrance earlier."
Satou said apologetically.
"No way? Is it limited again?"
Everyone was disappointed again.
However, some customers started to eye those who had received the free drinks.
"Can you sell me your drink later? How about five thousand?"
"Please, you must sell it to me. I can pay ten thousand."
"Please sell it to me, I'll offer twenty thousand."
Before long, the price of the fruit juice was driven up to forty thousand per cup.
However, the customers who had received the free drinks refused to sell them no matter what.
Are you kidding? Anything sold in this shop must be a treasure, especially something limited like this. It must be even rarer. How could they possibly sell it?
After three hours of busy work, Satou finally sold out all of today's dishes.
Since the quantity of ingredients that could be purchased had doubled, Satou had also increased the quantity of dishes sold.
After finally cleaning up the shop, Satou was ready to go home with Tohru.
However, just as they reached a street corner, a cute girl with red hair, wearing urban casual clothes, appeared in front of Satou.
"Demon King, I've finally found you."
She stared at Satou and said coldly.
Satou looked bewildered. Who was this person?
He didn't know her at all!
"Miss, you've got the wrong person, haven't you?" he asked.
"Demon King! Don't try to argue! Even if you turn to ash, I'll recognize you!" the girl said coldly.
Satou suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering that a few days ago, the system had indeed told him that a creature had followed him from another anime world.
He hadn't paid attention at the time. Could it be this girl?
"So, who exactly are you?" Satou asked. Could it be Lord Frieza?
Is Lord Frieza that cute?
Wait a minute, could it be the Hero from back then?
Sure enough, the girl already said coldly, "I am Emilia, the Hero who defeated you that day!"
Satou was speechless for a moment. Only then did he realize that the world he had accidentally stumbled into back then must have been The Devil Is a Part-Timer! world. But he hadn't expected Hero Emilia to follow him!
Satou wasn't worried, because if he remembered correctly, the other party had already become an ordinary person due to being unable to replenish her holy magical energy.
"I can't believe you've become the manager of a small eatery. Did you poison the food? Or did you hypnotize the customers, hoping to turn them into your slaves?" the girl asked in a deep voice.
"You... Are you a Saint? Have you already discovered us?" Tooru's expression changed, recalling the holy sword that had been plunged into her. If Satou hadn't pulled it out for her, she would have already died.
"Satou, we've been discovered. Let's go quickly!" Tooru said nervously.
Satou: "..."
"Want to leave? That's impossible! I will kill you with my own hands!" The girl smiled coldly, then pulled out a small knife that was not much longer than a finger.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent.
Satou hesitated for a moment and asked, "Um..."
"Shut up, there's nothing to say about killing you," the girl said coldly.
"No, this knife of yours, it looks like you bought it at a hundred-yen Convenience Store, didn't you?" Satou asked.
"What... What hundred-yen Convenience Store?" The girl, who had just been so aloof, immediately looked nervous and asked guiltily.
"I remember you had a holy sword, didn't you?" Satou asked, "Where's your holy sword?"
"Holy... What does it matter to you where the holy sword is!" The girl became even more flustered, and her voice began to stutter.
"Even without a holy sword, I can still kill you!" Then, she suddenly rushed over.
