Honey : The Empire's Treasure 190 Receipt...

"Oh good...you came down, I was worried for nothing." Kailu went behind the counter to calculate Jonas' and Saavi's bill, oblivious to the tension between Vulas and Mika.

"Are you guys separate or together?"

"Together..." Mika answered, handing over her bill with the new amount written on it.

Looking down at the bill, Kailu couldn't believe that Vulas would settle for one of his creations being at this low of a price.

It could be said that the reason their shop isn't doing so well is because of Vulas' standards. Time and time again, he would send customers away due to the price of his work.

To see him making compromises, made Kailu feel like there is hope for him yet.

"Wait!" When Vulas saw Kailu adding the total cost for everything, his heart nearly dropped to the floor.

His work!...His work! Is only going to be worth this much!

Looking down at the grand total, Vulas wanted to cough up blood.

This would be in line with what these other blacksmiths are charging! I am not an ordinary blacksmith!

Thinking about reneging on the work, Vulas was stopped by Kailu's gripping hand on his shoulder.

"Mr. Vulas, you wouldn't be thinking of canceling this sale, would you? Especially since rent is due soon...besides, remember the promise you made me after the last time customer..." Kailu's grip got tighter and tighter as he whispered into Vulas' ear.

Thinking back to how he swore he would do whatever it takes to keep the store open, Vulas bit back the words he wanted to say.

"Ow, ow, ow!...I-I was just looking over the bill to make sure you got everything correct."

"Good." After putting Vulas in his place, Kailu snatches the bill out of Vulas' hands and places it in front of Mika.

"This is the grand total, how will you like to pay?"

"Credit."

"Okay, please show me your wristband.....done! Your orders should be ready in a month, please be sure to remember. And thank you for your patronage!"

Mika led everyone out of the shop, Vulas breath an immense sigh of relief at her leaving.

"I can't believe you made me take that girl's business, she doesn't even know who I am! And she said my breath smells!"

Kailu looked at Vulas' frumpy clothes, uncombed hair and unshaven face.

"We should be lucky she still wanted our business..." Kailu muttered, dispising the sloppy state Vulas helped customers in.

"I'm going to prepare the personalized weapons for you...watch the shop until I get back!" Heading to the workshop in the back, Kailu was about to leave Vulas alone at the front.

"En."

"I mean it, don't turn away any customers!" Kailu warned as he quickly went about gathering the necessary equipment and materials.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...just hurry before I change my mind."

"Sigh...." Left with no choice Kailu ran to the workshop to quickly set up.

*Ding-Ling*

The store's doorbell rang, signaling a new customer.

Vulas put on a bright smile, ready to welcome the guest.

"Welcome, how can I help...you...?"

Standing in front of him was the young miss he hopes to not see again for another month.

"What do you want?" Vulas return to his seat, taking on the lazy posture he had before Mika walked in.

Mika didn't bother saying a word and just held out her hand.

Looking at the offered hand, he thought this girl has some redeeming quantities.

Did she come all the way back here to shake my hand!? Ah! I truly judged this girl too soon.

"Hahaha...Young miss, I told you I am someone famous. You looked me up, didn't you? I'm sure you are amazed by my brilliance. Just know that you are the first person who got my work dirt cheap..."

Raising his hand to shake Mika's, he was unprepared for the slap to his palm.

"Ow! What you slap my hand away for!?" Vulas looked at the girl, he was now planning on nick-naming the demon-child.

"Receipt."

"...receipt?" Vulas was confused.

"En, for my purchase."

"Now wait one minute! You think I would take your items and not return them, I'm not that type of person!"

"Tsk! I don't know you...You can be any type of person. For the interest of both parties, there should be a receipt of purchase." Mika stated factually, holding out her hand again.

"You don't know ME!"

Kailu happens to have finished the prep work and was walking back into the shop when he heard Vulas' shout.

"What's going on?" Kailu looked at the fuming Vulas before turning his attention to Mika.

"You forgot to give me a receipt."

"Oh! Yes, of course. Wait one moment..." Kailu shoved Vulas to the side, away from Mika before he ruins their business.

"Here.."

"Thank you." Putting away the receipt, she made her way to the door, but not before stopping to look back.

"Just a word of advice, you should stop advertising yourself as the Great Mr. Vulas. Really outstanding people don't need to regularly validate to everyone that they are gifted. It makes you seem desperate... Okay, see you in a month!" Exiting out of the store, Mika failed to see to the irked look on Vulas' face.

"D-D-Desperate!...Did she just say I'm desperate! The great Vul-...ARGH!" Vulas wanted to march out the door to strangle Mika, but Kailu was holding him back.
