“What can I get for you? Please feel free to select whatever you need. It is not every day that I have a King and Queen visit my shop,” said the shopkeeper in a most joyous voice.
Suddenly the Town Marshall entered the shop.
“Yousho and Kaori, how is it that you both visit Mento and do not tell me that you are in our town? Would you both come over to my office before you leave? It would be my pleasure to speak with the two of you before you leave Mento,” said the town Marshall.
“We would be glad to come for a visit before we leave,” said Yousho.
“Thank you for letting me know that they were in town,” the Marshall said to the shopkeeper.
The Town Marshall then left the shop.
“We have come for more of that soap that we enjoy so much,” said Kaori.
“I have some right here for you,” said the shopkeeper as he gave Kaori four bars of the soap.
“I will put it on your account. When Tori brings those full bottles back to me that will be more than enough as payment for the soap.”
“Thank you very much,” said Kaori.
“I know that there are some shops in Mento that you do not have accounts with. I am also aware that you do not have money in Hayshua. I would be glad to provide you with some money if you desire to go to a shop that does not have an account for you,” said the shopkeeper.
