As Archer entered the shop, he spotted Hecate at the counter, engrossed in a ledger, while all twelve girls began to explore the large store.
He approached the Moon Elf with a warm smile and said, "Hello, my witch. I love the new name of the shop. Did the Dragon-kin have a hand in it?"
Hecate looked up, her smile widening as she nodded in response. "Indeed, they did. They worked late into the night, and the city guards paid them a visit out of curiosity. But as soon as they heard your name, they made a swift exit."
"Excellent," Archer replied with a curious tone. "Are we prepared to open?"
Hecate nodded her head, prompting a smile from Archer. He turned around and called for Sera, and the redhead enthusiastically ran towards him.
She came to a halt before Archer, her voice filled with cheer as she asked, "What's up, sweetheart?"
