Morning.
The sun rose over the Bondless Mountains.
After completing his usual morning training, Ron made breakfast and had Nora, who had just arrived at the shop, go wash up and change clothes first.
To keep Ron from worrying or becoming suspicious, Nora had already washed her face clean on the way over that morning.
Arriving on the second floor of the shop, Nora obediently entered the bathroom to bathe, changed into a new work uniform, then sat down at the dining table to enjoy breakfast.
After finishing his meal, Ron got to his feet and placed the bowls and dishes in the sink.
"Shopkeeper, I'll wash the dishes." Nora, still eating breakfast, suddenly spoke up.
Ron, who had just been about to wash the dishes, froze for a moment. Turning his head, he saw the earnest look in Nora's eyes and nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you."
A smile appeared on Nora's delicate, pretty face. "It's no trouble. If you have other things to do, Shopkeeper, hurry and go. There's no need to waste time."
"Then I'll leave the shop to you. I'll be back at noon." After saying that, Ron went downstairs, opened the storeroom door, and entered the Dimensional Space.
After another round of assembly-line work, he planted another batch of Golden Red Chrysanthemums and Nether Orchids, replenishing his stock somewhat.
Near noon, Ron emerged from the Dimensional Plane and happened to run into the person sent by the Glorious Mercenary Group to complete the transaction with him.
Ron delivered 125 Golden Red Chrysanthemums and 25 Nether Orchids, receiving a Gold Depository note worth 10,500 gold coins from the mercenary group's representative.
Of that, 500 gold coins were payment for the 25 Nether Orchids, while 10,000 gold coins were payment for the 500 Golden Red Chrysanthemums
