After playing and frolicking on the road for a while, Hoshino Sora and Ya Xiang Rika returned home. Because he had been busy all day, Hoshino Sora couldn't wait to take a shower in the bathroom.
When he came out, he found his underwear was missing.
Wrapped in a bath towel, Hoshino Sora looked at the empty laundry basin, deep in thought. Then he sighed softly, not intending to delve deeper, and returned to his room on his own.
Young people, it's normal to have those kinds of needs. Although he didn't know why his two older sisters were so infatuated with him, as a male, it was still very gratifying to have his charm recognized.
Unpleasant images flashed through his mind, and his heart immediately surged. Feeling the bath towel loosen slightly due to the swelling, Hoshino Sora's face flushed, and he quickly covered himself and rushed back to his room.
The night was long.
Hoshino Sora went to bed early due to the day's exhaustion. He decided to launch another snack, one that could be sold on the street, which was also for the required customer traffic for the mission.
Otherwise, relying on his small shop, it would be impossible to complete the mission of 500 daily customer visits, as the shop's capacity was limited, and customer traffic was low outside of peak meal times.

"Takeoff..."
"Mm, mm~"
As if dreaming of something, Hoshino Sora mumbled, drooling from the corner of his mouth. Then his fingers twitched slightly, and the sensation was very strange, which made him pinch a few more times. At the same time, a soft moan came from his ear.
"Good morning, Sora."
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who suddenly woke up and opened his eyes, Rika rubbed her eyes and greeted him. As she spoke, the strap of her clothing on the other shoulder slipped down, revealing her incredibly fair shoulder...
Hoshino Sora nervously squeezed backward, then felt something poking him from behind. He turned his head to look, and sure enough, Asaka-nee had slipped in at some point too.
"Good morning."
"Asaka-nee, Rika-nee, can you knock on the door before coming in?"
He couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose. Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared and wasn't startled, after all, these two were ultimate brother-complexes.
The reason Hoshino Sora was unwilling to accept the two of them was this: he felt that these two liked him for his identity as a younger brother, not for him as a person, so he had always tried to refuse.
If Hino had dared to play like this when they were dating, he would have eaten her up long ago. Why would he have stopped at second base, leaving him constantly unsettled?
But it's good now. They've broken up, and there's no longer any relationship between them. They both deserve their future partners.
"We knocked," Asaka said.
"But no one answered," Rika added.
"I thought Sora wouldn't mind."
"So we came in," Rika added again.
The two sisters tried to act cute one after another, and their innocent and naive appearance made it hard for Hoshino Sora to get angry. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, then said, "Don't do this next time."

"Wowo Tou, four for 100 yen, hehe!"
"Five thousand yen per jin?! Is your melon skin made of gold or your melon seeds made of gold?"
"You dare to chop my melon, huh?"
After a simple breakfast, the three set off for the big market. The shouts of vendors filled the air, and there was everything imaginable around them: vegetables, fresh produce, meat. Because it was very close to Far Moon, this was also where Far Moon students bought their ingredients.
"How much is this potato per jin?"
"200 yen for 1 jin of premium potatoes, each one large and plump, the taste is beyond words!"
Seeing a customer, the vendor immediately greeted them enthusiastically, picking up a large potato from the ground as he spoke. It had to be said, the appearance was indeed good, and the price was also fair.
"If you can sell them for 150 yen, I'll take a hundred jin. Deliver them to Hoshino Restaurant on Sanhe Street. If the quality is good, I'll source from you from now on, okay?"
Because potatoes don't spoil easily when stored, to avoid the trouble of repeatedly carrying them, Hoshino Sora simply bought a hundred jin at once. The reason he came along today was because yesterday the two sisters couldn't carry the ingredients and struggled greatly to deliver them.
"How about 180 yen? It's a small business, and I don't earn much."
Hearing that Hoshino Sora wanted a hundred jin, the vendor looked happy, but he quickly frowned again, pretending to be displeased, wanting to raise the price a bit more.
"170 is a deal. Here's my contact information. Next time you come to my shop to eat, I'll give you a ten percent discount."
After Hoshino Sora finished speaking, he didn't wait for a response, put down the potatoes, and directly got up to leave. Before leaving, he left a handmade business card. Because of the rush in the morning, it was simply made, with only his name and contact information on it.
Bargaining, so-called bargaining, means stating a price that both parties can accept. To successfully bargain, one must make others feel their determination and sincerity. The bargainer must be the stronger party.
Ya Xiang and Rika learned by Hoshino Sora's side. This was the first time they realized how good their younger brother was at bargaining. Immediately, admiration showed in the eyes of the two sisters.
"Boss, how much are these chili peppers?"
"Eggs, give me a discount if I buy thirty jin."
...
"1000 takeout boxes, make them cheaper. I'll buy from you again tomorrow."

"Wolf Tooth Potatoes, 300 yen a serving of Wolf Tooth Potatoes, come on by, don't miss out!"
A rich aroma wafted from the street corner, followed by the cries of Ya Xiang and Rika. Hoshino Sora was frying Wolf Tooth Potatoes in the kitchen, mixing them with the freshly prepared sauce, and his face lit up as he watched the constantly rising customer traffic in the system.
It was just as he thought: any purchase of food at his shop counted as customer traffic. Since the requirement was customer traffic, there was no need for a sales volume.
Thus, snacks were undoubtedly the most suitable option.
Of course, the main business couldn't be forgotten either.
Looking at the pig trotters bubbling in yesterday's braising liquid, Hoshino Sora's face was full of smiles. Calculating the time, they would be ready just in time for lunch.
He truly was a master of time management!
"Um, could we have two servings of Wolf Tooth Potatoes?"
Sweetly holding out two fingers, Yamato Rinko spoke shyly, looking at the words on the sign.
"600 yen, thank you for your patronage."
Ya Xiang handed over two servings of mixed Wolf Tooth Potatoes in takeout boxes and accepted the 600 yen from Yamato Rinko, thinking how cute the girl in front of her was.
"Here, Takeo. Manly Man, ah~"
Handing one serving of Wolf Tooth Potatoes to Sunakawa Makoto, Yamato Rinko skipped and raised her hand to feed Gouda Takeo, her face beaming with a happy smile, and he was the same.
The two with their huge size difference were a striking sight on the street. Of course, what attracted female gazes even more was Sunakawa Makoto beside them.
"Young love is so nice, but haven't they had their holidays yet? It's already July."
