Chapter 91: Test of the Rose Windmill Cabaret (25)
Saturday was an important day in terms of the competition.
In the previous two encounters, more than 20% of the sales occurred on this day.
On the side of Satbyeol Circus, Minova was actively engaging in promotional activities in front of the concession stand from the morning.
Looking back at the past competitions, Saturday sales were higher in souvenir sales than in food and drinks.
He worked hard to deal with the remaining inventory.
Cheap, cheap. A ladle that doesnt stick to rice! Buy 2, get 2 free! Plus, well give you a functional cushion excellent for preventing hemorrhoids, a must-have for people sitting at a desk!
The planning circus team had a strong influence from sponsors.
As a result, on the Satbyeol side, many items had to be displayed on the shelves to promote the sponsors products.
Minova sighed inwardly as he recalled the instructions from the sponsors.
Even if there was some loss in profit, all these items had to be sold.
The Monster Circus was relatively free in their business approach.
Vergsong did not demand anything from them.
They actively promoted card sales.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Ella conducted a promotion event in front of the life-sized signs of the monster members that Maya had carefully drawn for the past few days.
If you dont buy today, you wont be able to buy it again! On the last day, if a rare card comes out, youll have the opportunity to draw one more time! In addition, those who purchase 10 cards at once will receive the special legendary card Maidens Luck guaranteed!
Snake charmer Suab found the offer intriguing.
One legendary card for buying 10 cards!
It was a deal that couldnt be missed.
Out of the 11 cards, she could get portraits of all the monster members with 6, and the remaining 5 ordinary cards could be exchanged for food at the concession stand. The cost-effectiveness was unbeatable.
Of course, she didnt have that much money.
She and her companions had bought the cheapest coins.
But if the three of them pooled their money, they could afford it.
She turned to the two men standing behind her and said, Hey, you guys. Take out the coins. Lets buy that.
However, despite her urging, the two men pretended not to hear and avoided eye contact.
What are you doing? Thats the best deal right now.
Uh.
Well, its just that.
Alan and Jo cleared their throats and slowly opened their mouths.
Well, its true, but.
We dont have money.
At their words, Suab widened her eyes.
What are you talking about? We divided 150 coins each earlier!
Um, we bought a lot of things.
Suab finally noticed that their pockets were quite bulging.
Come to think of it, these two were wandering around the Satbyeol Circus concession stand earlier.
You guys.
No, listen!
These are really good!
They quickly took out the items they had bought, explaining their functions.
This is a toothbrush with silver ingredients. It has a mysterious alchemical effect.
These are socks with added fragrance. They say the foot is the second heart, right? Charcoals antibacterial and deodorizing effects.
This is a health-boosting massage tool.
And this is a nutritional supplement thats good for cardiovascular health if you take one a day.
They explained the functions of the items they had bought in a rush.
In this absurd situation, Suab forgot to get angry.
These so-called acrobats were deceived by the deceptive sales tactics and bought such useless things.
You also bought three of each, right?
You are crazy. I clearly said to save money until we receive the portraits. Why did you guys buy these useless things?
Seeing her getting angry, Alan and Jo lowered their heads.
To be honest, there was a bit of embarrassment in going to receive the portraits.
It felt like attending the wedding of a former girlfriend you dumped.
A few weeks ago, they received an offer to join the circus from Wonderstein.
At that time, they thought of the monster circus as a place where people were displayed miserably and avoided it at all costs. So, they made excuses and quickly escaped from there.
But now, facing the awkward situation of going to receive souvenirs, especially in front of Wonderstein, was quite embarrassing.
Especially seeing his face.
They had been kind to even the anonymous acrobats, but they became too arrogant in front of the director of the circus troupe participating in the competition.
Its already in the past. Anyway, what you guys said seems right. Going to receive a portrait does seem a bit conspicuous.
They bought tomato juice with the remaining money and sat at a table in front of the concession stand.
Suab sighed deeply as she looked up at the ceiling.
The stage manager entered and announced that the performance would start in two minutes.
Wonderstein looked at her unsteady steps and said, Ella, its okay, you dont have to do this. You can rest inside.
Ah, persistent. Its okay, Im fine with it. And stop bringing it up all the time. I
She stopped talking and closed her mouth.
Yes?
Oh, no, nothing
She couldnt bring herself to say the rest and swallowed her words.
Contract.
It was the tool that bound Wonderstein and her together.
It was meant to help him lead the circus troupe effectively.
But standing on the stage wasnt just because of that.
It was because standing on stage was enjoyable.
Even though she could never forgive that man.
Even though she could never like that man.
Still, it was enjoyable.
When they stood on stage together
She couldnt deny that.
Miss Clown?
Wonderstein called her as she was lost in thought.
What?
She looked around.
She felt hundreds of eyes staring at her.
Um?
She was perplexed by the sudden change of events.
Whats happening all of a sudden?
Her head felt dizzy.
She tried to recall what was happening.
She realized that she had fallen asleep standing on stage.
She had felt a sudden wave of drowsiness in the warm, lit space.
Ah.
She panicked.
What part of the script is it now?
Do I have to deliver my lines?
What were my lines?
Just a moment of confusion.
Her mischievous friend, realizing the situation and trying to cover for her, was interrupted by someone in the audience screaming.
What is this girl doing!
Simultaneously, something flew from the edge of her vision.
She quickly detected it with her peripheral vision.
It was a flying blade, and she was the one catching it.
With her reflexes, she could easily dodge such a slow attack.
But maybe due to accumulated fatigue, her head sensed it, but her body didnt move.
Thump.
Her vision turned red.
Her body swayed from the impact.
Ah.
The scent of fresh grass tickled her nose.
She knew what it was.
It was something she had been smelling incessantly at their snack stand for the past few days.
It was a tomato.
She realized the situation.
Someone had thrown a tomato at her.
A clown making a living with tricks cant even dodge this? Tsk tsk, pathetic. Pathetic.
Laughter erupted from various corners of the audience.
There were a few young people in shabby suits in those places.
Some of the spectators who recognized them whispered.
Luz gamblers from Luz Gambling Den.
Among them, Lord Dosville stood with a mocking smile.
