'There are still a lot of people even at this hour.'
Tanya muttered while looking at the shops in the plaza.
At the end of her gaze was an alchemy workshop occupying one of the best spots in the Clock Tower Plaza. It was Louise's shop.
At a reasonable time in the afternoon, Ian visited Louise's shop with Tanya.
'Maybe the grand opening hype has died down. There are much fewer people than before.'
'Calling that just 'opening hype' is a bit of an understatement...'
In the early days of the opening, the waiting line for the shop used to take up half of the plaza's space.
However, now that quite some time had passed since the opening, it didn't draw that much of a crowd anymore. The inside of the shop was bustling with people, but it looked like it had found some breathing room.
'Welcome! ...Ah, Manager! The Captain is here!'
A shop employee spotted Ian and shouted toward the back of the shop.
Before long, Louise arrived and guided Ian to the office inside.
