Chapter 967

Yoimiya smiled, then took Sara's hand and headed toward the manga shop.

"Welcome, Miss Yoimiya, and Miss Sara!"

Seeing the two girls arrive at the counter, Han Feng smiled and greeted them.

"Boss, have Miss Alice and Klee and the others arrived?"

Yoimiya asked curiously.

"Mm, the two of them have already gone off to read manga!"

Han Feng pointed toward their location.

"Then I'll go read manga too! Boss, I'll leave my friend here with you!"

Spotting those two fiery-red figures, Yoimiya laughed and set down a pouch of Mora,

then went to the bookshelf to pick out some manga.

She flipped through a few, finally grabbed a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," and headed into the shop.

"Miss Sara, want to read some manga? 100,000 Mora per person, only once a day!"

After Yoimiya left, Han Feng's gaze fell on this masked girl.

"100,000 Mora? That expensive?"

Hearing the price, Sara was a little surprised too.

Don't let the name Menhuanglong Sect sound all imposing—

in reality, they're dirt poor.

The gang members often have to take odd jobs just to get by.

Otherwise,

their leader Arataki Itto wouldn't constantly challenge kids to contests either.

Sure, part of it is his personality, but it still doesn't befit a boss's image!

"But it's worth the price, isn't it?"

Han Feng said with a faint smile.

Back when he'd first opened the shop, he might still have wasted his breath describing how miraculous the rewards were.

But so much time had passed now!

His reputation had already spread!

Those who should know, naturally would know!

For instance, since Sara was brought by Yoimiya, she'd surely know a thing or two.

So he didn't need to waste any more words.

"That's true!"

Sara deliberated for a moment, then nodded.

If she really could get decent rewards, then 100,000 Mora really wasn't much.

Thinking this, she took out a pouch of Mora from her person and set it on the counter.

This money was her personal property—

given to her by her sister Kuki Shinobu on the sly before she left the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Originally she hadn't planned to use it.

But for the sake of reading manga, she had no choice but to take it out for now.

"Boss, could you recommend a manga for me?"

After paying, Sara asked softly.

This was her first time here, and she didn't know which manga to read.

"This one!"

After taking the Mora, Han Feng gave a casual wave of his hand, and a manga flew off the bookshelf onto the counter.

"Rune Continent?"

Picking up the manga, a flicker of curiosity flashed through Sara's eyes.

"There's a character in this manga who looks a lot like you! You might want to keep an eye out!"

Han Feng said with a smile.

In his past life, when the character Sara had first appeared,

he'd felt she resembled Akali from a certain game!

Especially when she put on her mask—

the resemblance was uncanny.

If those two ever met, it would definitely be very interesting.

"Someone who looks like me?"

Hearing this, Sara's interest grew even stronger.

Could it be someone who also wanted freedom and ran away from home?

Thinking this, Sara couldn't help feeling eager to try.

"Boss, then I'll go read manga now!"

"Mm, the shop is divided into a quiet zone and a discussion zone—pick whichever you like!"

Han Feng nodded.

"Thanks, Boss!"

After thanking him, Sara took the manga and headed toward the quiet zone.

GLOSSARY:

【Yoimiya, Sara, Han Feng, Alice, Klee, Menhuanglong Sect, Huanglong Sect, Arataki Itto, Grand Narukami Shrine, Kuki Shinobu, Rune Continent, Akali】

She still preferred a quieter atmosphere.

Inazuma,

··

Outside the Jieyou Bookshop.

Not long after Yae Miko and the two entered the manga shop,

At that moment, a figure dressed in a costume resembling kabuki attire, wearing a icho-gasa hat, arrived at the mouth of the alley.

It was the Wanderer, who had just arrived from outside Inazuma City.

"That black-haired boy is inside?"

The Wanderer slightly furrowed his brow.

After arriving in Inazuma City, he had begun searching for information about the black-haired boy.

Thanks to Shinri Ayaka's earlier inquiries, the Wanderer's task had become considerably easier.

After paying some Mora, he finally reached this alley—

the very place Shinri Ayaka had visited twice.

Although he harbored doubts about the information he'd gathered,

there was a saying, wasn't there?

0.........

Since I've come this far!

So the Wanderer decided to go inside and take a look.

As his steps grew deeper, the manga shop gradually came into view.

When he saw the four large characters above the shop: "Jieyou Bookshop,"

the Wanderer's expression changed, his face filled with utter shock.

"There's a manga shop like that in Inazuma?!"

After discovering the manga shop's miraculous nature, the Lady had written multiple letters to the Queen of Fontaine, urging her to take it seriously.

Faced with such a mysterious shop, the Queen of Fontaine naturally consulted with her Fatui.

At first, most Fatui Envoys dismissed it entirely!

Just as the Doctor had thought, they believed the Lady had invented such a shop to avoid punishment for her incompetence.

But after the Doctor's death, and as news spread from Mondstadt and Liyue,

and after that overwhelming sword intent's intimidation!

The Fatui finally took it seriously!
