"Alright, stop sulking and eat."
Lumine stepped forward, pinched Paimon's cheeks, and smiled.
She did feel sorry for Paimon...
But she'd lost that bet to Han Feng fair and square.
No one else could do anything about it.
Especially since she'd doubled down afterward and lost again.
Now she'd just have to repay the debt little by little.
"Hmph! Then I'm going to eat as much as I can until Boss Han goes bankrupt!"
Paimon puffed out her cheeks and waved her tiny fist.
"Go for it. I believe in you."
Lumine laughed and gave her an encouraging fist bump.
After all...
Han Feng's food came from the Gourmet Tablecloth.
As long as he wanted to eat, he could simply conjure more.
If Paimon wanted to bankrupt him through eating...
She'd probably have to keep trying until the end of time.
By now, the manga shop had settled into a steady routine.
Han Feng himself had become much more relaxed.
The four of them leisurely chatted while enjoying lunch.
Only after more than an hour did the pleasant meal finally come to an end.
"Boss Han, we're heading back to Inazuma!"
Now that she was full, Paimon had regained all her energy.
She planned to visit more places.
Maybe she could sell even more carrots.
If that worked...
She could at least reduce her losses.
"Outside Inazuma City isn't as safe."
"Be careful."
Han Feng reminded them.
"Don't worry, Boss Han!"
"I've got a mecha now!"
Paimon proudly patted her chest, completely fearless.
She wasn't the useless emergency food she used to be!
Now she possessed genuine combat power.
In fact...
She almost hoped monsters would appear.
That way she'd finally have a chance to pilot her mecha.
"Alright, alright. We know you're amazing."
"Let's go."
Lumine rolled her eyes playfully.
If they really encountered monsters...
She'd simply stand to one side and watch the show.
She'd let Paimon handle everything herself.
After saying goodbye to Han Feng...
The two left through the Anywhere Door.
Han Feng smiled and shook his head before turning to the system interface.

"Three draws?"
Han Feng looked pleasantly surprised.
This was the first time it'd happened.
Previously, getting two new manga at once had already been satisfying.
Three in one go?
That was even better.
"System."
"Draw the manga."

Congratulations! You've obtained: Let's & Go!!
Seiretsu and Go Seiba are passionate Mini 4WD racers. Despite their young age, they've already mastered countless techniques thanks to guidance from Dr. Tsuchiya, an expert in Mini 4WD engineering. Their cars have repeatedly claimed victory in competitions.

These vehicles possess overwhelming speed and can even crush opponents' Mini 4WD cars to pieces.
To defend their honour and defeat Dr. Ōgami's racing team, the brothers begin completely rebuilding their machines.

Congratulations! You've obtained: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Hidden within Hogwarts lies the legendary Chamber of Secrets, home to a monstrous Basilisk.
Its gaze can kill.
Using the diary he left behind years ago, Voldemort manipulates a young girl into opening the Chamber and releasing the monster.
With Hogwarts facing closure, Harry and his friends locate the Chamber.
Armed with the Sword of Gryffindor delivered by Fawkes the phoenix, Harry slays the Basilisk and destroys the fragment of Voldemort's memory preserved within the diary.

Congratulations! You've obtained: Inception
Dom Cobb possesses the rare ability to enter people's dreams, where the subconscious is at its most vulnerable, allowing him to steal valuable secrets.
This extraordinary talent has made him one of the world's most sought-after corporate spies...
But it has also turned him into an international fugitive, costing him everything he loves.
To redeem himself and reclaim his former life, Cobb and his team undertake one final mission...
"These are some excellent additions."
Interest flickered across Han Feng's face.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets needed little explanation.
The shop already carried the first volume.
But Let's & Go!!...
That was a genuine childhood classic.
Those voice-controlled Mini 4WD racers had left a lasting impression on an entire generation.
Especially the Hurricane Sonic.
Ever seen a race car create an actual tornado?
It was that ridiculous.
As for Inception...
That one was far more cerebral.
It was even harder to follow than Steins;Gate.
Anyone who wasn't particularly sharp might end up completely lost among its layers upon layers of dreams.
"...Then again..."
"If someone actually received the ability to enter dreams..."
Han Feng smiled with growing interest.
That would be far more exciting than stealing treasures.
Now that would be entertaining.
Buzz—
Three brilliant beams of light descended from above.
Moments later...
Three brand-new manga volumes appeared in Han Feng's hands.
"Put these on the shelves."
"Then reopen the shop."
He handed the books to Noelle.
"Yes, Boss."
Curiously glancing at the new titles, Noelle carried them over to the bookshelf.
Meanwhile...
Han Feng leaned back comfortably in his chair, sipping tea at his leisure...
Quietly waiting for the afternoon's customers to arrive.
