Chapter 7: Mitsuha’s General Store

At last, it was time for Mitsuha to open for business. The renovations had gone off without a hitch. The store’s interior had everything she needed, including shelves, curtains, and lighting. Her wares were all in place, priced, and described in detail. During business hours, her security system would be set to “off”. Mitsuha’s living space was ready for occupancy, too.

The propane generator chugged along, helping to provide the place with electricity. The solar energy company had insisted on installing the panels themselves, but Mitsuha claimed she’d be using them on a faraway island and needed only to know how to install them herself. With the help of Kunz and his workers, setting them up had been a breeze.

The bathroom had also been surprisingly easy to build. The kitchen already had a drain, so it was just a matter of building a wooden divider and putting the bathtub in place. Even setting up a steady supply of hot water had proved to be quick work for the carpenters. Mitsuha was truly impressed. This stuff is basically alien to them, but with a blueprint and a little explanation, they got it all done perfectly. Craftsmen are awesome!

Once all that finished, Mitsuha had gone around handing out free towel sets to both her next-door neighbors and the three households on the opposite side of the road. They’d found such a young girl running a store just as impressive as the fluffiness of the towels. Always keen to make a sale, Mitsuha hadn’t forgotten to mention they’d be available at her store.

She’d also gone home and printed several dozen leaflets off her computer. When she returned, she’d hung them outside her favorite restaurants, Mr. Zoltan’s agency, and a few other places. She’d written the letters by hand using her mouse. The result was messy, but a little endearing. Anyway, all was in order, and the day of the grand opening had arrived.

Giddy with enthusiasm, she sat behind the counter, where she could keep an eye on the whole sales floor. She’d open at Japan’s equivalent of ten o’clock, and close up at four. There’d be no breaks for lunch, so she planned her meals: she would eat a filling brunch before opening each day, then enjoy a lavish dinner shortly after closing. Late dinners make you gain weight more quickly, she rationalized. Though maybe I need some more meat on me... in certain places... Wait, no, shut up! Mitsuha was also the sole staff member, so if nature called, she’d have to wait until there were no customers to hang up a “Be back soon!” sign. If there was no end to them, however, she’d just have to hold it.

All right, everyone! she announced in her mind. Mitsuha’s General Store is now open!

Okay, it’s eleven o’clock now. Not a single customer so far... Well, it’s only day one, so word probably hasn’t gotten around yet. And besides, these are work hours. Maybe I’ll get some people in when it’s time for lunch?

One o’clock, still no customers.
