(403) Time is precious

Furniture and equipment for the store, and everything that needs to be used has already been transported here.

At the same time, Mrs. Bonan has also recruited several helpers, and now only Eileen remains to point out the placement of everything.

With the collective effort of everyone, the items that have been transported are placed back in their proper positions.

Speaking only of the bottom floor of the store, it is indeed possible to finish the mission of opening the store on the same day before lunch is over, within a few hours.

However, Mrs. Bonan never expected that Eileen, one of the bosses, would shout out and stop all the plans.

"Finished? We're not finished. Have you seen the crowd outside?"

Although Eileen was surprised, Mrs. Bonan explained calmly.

"The Dragon Festival has already begun. Judging from the current crowd, the faster we open the store, the more people will notice us."

Mrs. Bonan's analysis is correct. Due to the Dragon Festival, Kakarl has now attracted visitors from all over the continent and even the world.

Compared to the Allen Martial Arts Tournament in Allen City, the Dragon Festival is even more popular because it is not limited to contests of strength, but also includes a "Cooking Competition" that even girls can participate in.

Of course, Mrs. Bonan is not an ignorant woman. Although she has a loli-like physique, she is a socialite who has lived for forty-two years.

"I understand that you just arrived here and need some time to rest... but..."

There was a brief pause as Mrs. Bonan's expression changed.

Her innocent smile turned into a wicked grin, accompanied by a black aura emanating from behind her, creating a terrifying atmosphere.

"I can't wait any longer. I will make all the money from those rich people!!!"

"This..."

Eileen, who only wanted to run the business well, never thought of making all the money.

"Eileen, Eileen, it seems you've found a good partner."

However, Cyclone was excited by Mrs. Bonan's statement.

Seeing the two demons laughing together, the wives understood.

To some extent, Cyclone and Mrs. Bonan had reached a demonic consensus.

"But not today, right?"

In the midst of their sinister laughter, Cyclone suddenly changed his mind.

"Yes, yes! At the earliest, it will be tomorrow!"

Eileen immediately agreed with Cyclone.

As a partner, Mrs. Bonan also had her own goals.

But Eileen was the owner here, so Mrs. Bonan had to ask.

"Then... what's the reason?"

As if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, Yuna and Eileen both stepped back, allowing Mrs. Bonan to clearly see Little Dragon behind them.

"Because my wife is going to compete soon."

Upon hearing Cyclone's reason, Mrs. Bonan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, yes! Little Dragon sister has been invited to participate, and Eileen will also help as an assistant!"

"Mhmm~ Although there can only be one assistant, I'll just enjoy the show from the sidelines."

Two people, two different attitudes, but Eileen and Yuna were both happy to introduce Little Dragon's appearance.

"Are you really a contestant?"

"Yes."

"The opening ceremony of Tianlong Festival ended the day before yesterday, and the preliminaries started yesterday..."

Ms. Bo Nan expressed her thoughts, and because of this thought, she never considered participating in the competition from the beginning.

But before the question was asked, Little Dragon was able to answer the doubts in Ms. Bo Nan's heart.

"Late."

Cold sweat flowed down, and Ms. Bo Nan continued to ask.

"So... when does your first preliminary match start?"

"In half an hour."

"Isn't that right now?!"

"I said 'later~'"

Cyclone sarcastically commented from the side.

However, in the face of Ms. Bo Nan's astonishment, Little Dragon just smiled lightly.

"No choice, time is precious."

"Damn it! So many excuses for being late!"
