Chapter 287: Unaware but Stylish, a Must-Have

"Sida, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Do you have any special someone in mind? Let's make sure we don't end up pursuing the same person, brothers."

In the classroom, Jaga and Rxu were enthusiastically discussing the latest hot topic with Sida.

This kingdom didn't seem to have a tradition of celebrating Valentine's Day, but ever since the Quyue Trading Company rose to prominence in the kingdom, they had become the trendsetters, and the Valentine's Day trend had caught on as well.

Of course, the main reason Quyue Trading Company promoted Valentine's Day was to better sell their products.

Jaga had a deep understanding of business concepts and had fully absorbed the modern sales techniques that Sida had taught her in the past.

To sell a product successfully, proper marketing strategies and advertising were essential. By associating chocolate with Valentine's Day, they wouldn't have to worry about sales at all.

Just like now, when Jaga and Rxu learned that Valentine's Day was the perfect occasion to express love to their admired ones, and that giving the legendary chocolate could increase their chances of success, their suppressed excitement burst forth.

"Chocolate? Valentine's Day..."

Hearing these familiar terms, Sida was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly realized where these concepts originated.

"You haven't heard of it? It's said that if you give a mysterious chocolate on Valentine's Day, the person you admire will fall in love with you! And it's rumored that only the Quyue Trading Company currently has this special chocolate, so we plan to sneak out during our afternoon break to buy some."

Just by giving chocolate, one could make their beloved fall in love with them?

No, no, no, Sida had never even heard of such chocolate, let alone seen it.

This was just chocolate; it wasn't some shady concoction mixed with love potions...

It was obvious that such an absurd claim was likely an advertisement, and Sida guessed it was probably Jaga's doing.

As everyone knows, if an advertisement doesn't exaggerate, can it even be called an advertisement?

However, despite the obvious falsity of the ad, Jaga and Rxu seemed to believe it wholeheartedly.

To fit in and strengthen their bond as supporting characters, Sida eventually agreed to accompany Jaga and Rxu to the Quyue Trading Company.

When they arrived at the company's entrance, Sida and the others truly experienced what it meant to be surrounded by a sea of people and a bustling marketplace.

The Quyue Trading Company's strategy of bundling chocolate sales with Valentine's Day was evidently a huge success, attracting numerous customers.

Seeing the long line, Sida couldn't help but marvel at how modern marketing techniques from his previous life were like an ultimate skill in this medieval-themed world.

Jaga's ability to fully grasp and utilize these marketing strategies in this era was indeed impressive.

These people lining up to buy things were essentially just here to hand over their money.

However, Sida couldn't help but feel regret that although the Quyue Trading Company was technically his enterprise, the profits didn't belong to him at all...

"These three customers, as part of our ongoing promotion, you have been selected as our lucky customers. Therefore, you can enjoy VIP treatment and skip the queue."

Jaga and Rxu, seeing the long line ahead, had initially thought they might have to wait until evening for their turn.

But just as they were at a loss, a petite beauty with chestnut hair and a sweet face approached them with a sign, initiating a conversation.

Upon hearing her words, Jaga and Rxu were thrilled, believing their luck had turned. They struck poses they thought were cool in front of the pretty lady.

Unbeknownst to them, Niu, the lady before them, completely ignored the duo, her gaze fixed on Sida.

The so-called "lucky customer" was, of course, a farce. Niu had her eyes on Sida, and the Quyue Trading Company was an asset of the Shadow Courtyard. How could they let Lord Shadow queue with commoners?

"This customer, as you are our one-thousandth customer today, you are entitled to even more special treatment. Please follow me this way."

After entering the Quyue Trading Company, Niu used another excuse to lead Sida to a room at the back. Gamma and the other employees had been waiting there for some time.

Once Sida took his seat on the throne, Gamma, along with Niu and the other employees, knelt on one knee before him.

"Lord Shadow, your sudden visit to the Quyue Trading Company is also regarding that matter, isn't it?"

As soon as Sida sat on the throne, he noticed the glimmering gold coins by his side. While a slime secretly slipped the coins into his sleeve, he heard Gamma's words and was momentarily stunned.

Sida: (_; What matter? What the hell is she talking about? I have no idea.

"Ah, that matter, yes. I've indeed noticed it. So, tell me your speculations and findings."

Sida was, of course, clueless about what Gamma was referring to. But since he was disguised as Lord Shadow, he had to maintain his image and dignity, even if it meant pretending to know something he didn't.

"As expected of Lord Shadow, nothing escapes your notice. I was planning to have Niu report this to you in a few days, but since Lord Shadow has come in person, I shall let my subordinate brief you on the situation."

"Hmm..."

He couldn't let them know that he was here with Jaga and Rxu to buy chocolate. For now, he had to maintain an air of control and understanding.

"Ever since the last riot in the Capital, our Shadow Courtyard has seemingly caught the attention of the Diabros Cult.

Especially Lord Shadow's Atomic Strike has heightened their vigilance.

As they know nothing about us, they have no way to investigate us, so they're trying to lure us out in this manner.

According to Lord Night, because the Shadow Courtyard went overboard last time, Princess Alice, the First Princess of the Midgar Kingdom, has a poor impression of us.

Another reason for their actions might be to tarnish our reputation and exacerbate the conflict between us and the Midgar Kingdom."

As Gamma spoke below, Sida nodded above, even though he was confused and had many questions. But at that moment, he didn't know how to ask without compromising his dignity.
