Her concerns allayed, Sheryl also inwardly sighed and tried to regain her composure.

Calm down, Sheryl. If you let something that trivial get to you that badly, you might as well be saying you’re just as uncertain about you and Akira. It’s fine. I’m calm, everything’s fine. When my relationship with him was called into question, I just got a bit pouty. The rest of that was just an act to distract Erio from his own anxiousness. That’s all.

Sheryl gave a relaxed, unconcerned smile to prove to Katsuragi, Darius, Erio, and most of all herself that it really hadn’t bothered her. “Mr. Katsuragi, sorry for the wait. Erio seems to have calmed down now, so shall we move on?”

“Sure thing. This way.” As if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, Katsuragi led the faux princess and her entourage further into the building.

If Sheryl succeeded at her relic-selling business, Akira wouldn’t be able to cut her out of his life so easily. Depending on her degree of success, he might even court her more proactively if he desired a bigger share of the profits. In other words, failure was not an option. Determination fueled her resolve.

After they took care of all the paperwork on the building’s second floor, Katsuragi suggested they go back down to the café on the ground level. While Erio chatted idly with Darius, Sheryl and Katsuragi hammered out the plan for the relic shop.

“So, Sheryl, there’s one key thing we should discuss,” Katsuragi said. “It’s a relic shop, sure, but some of those relics just aren’t gonna sell. It takes experience and knowledge of the trade to figure out which ones, so since we’re already partners, I’d be happy to take care of that part. Sound good?”

“That would be wonderful,” agreed Sheryl. “In fact, I was actually thinking that for unpopular relics that don’t sell after a certain period of time, I might just sell them to you like usual. I heard you tried pretty hard to convince Akira to let you exchange those clothing relics for him, although he refused. But if I tell him the whole truth about your efforts, I’m sure I could get him to agree.”

“Eh, no need. I’m sure Akira knows all that without needing to be told. More importantly, since you’ll be dealing with valuable relics, you’ll need to make sure your wares are secure.”

“Yes, of course. And I’ll definitely require your cooperation in that department as well.”

Some subtle negotiating was taking place behind their words. Katsuragi knew that some of Akira’s relics could be sold for an incredibly high price. He’d just tried to get Sheryl to sell the most valuable ones directly to him instead of through the shop, but Sheryl had seen through him, indirectly threatening to tell Akira that Katsuragi had been attempting to buy Old World clothing from him on the cheap. Katsuragi had backed off, but then pressed her to spend the earnings from the shop on equipment from his store, to which Sheryl had agreed.
