The shop surrounded by the crowd was a tooth-staining shop.
—"Baibo Tooth Staining."
Tooth staining was popular among the Pirushu Clan; it was their tradition, and Angel knew that.
However, tooth staining was only popular within the Pirushu Clan. Once tooth-staining shops opened in Ring Fortress, business became dismal—so dismal that hardly anyone showed any interest.
Previously, when Angel and Laplace had first arrived at Pirushu Outpost, they had found the corridor too crowded and entered a shop to rest for a while. There had not been a single person inside that shop, a stark contrast to the packed crowds outside.
