"Babies for sale!", Hakase shouted loudly, "Babies for sale! Come and get them! For the next thirty minutes, we have a buy one get one deal!"
Behind a stall next to the dawn bringer's statue was a young slender teenage girl, Dare Hakase. The girl was on the short end and barely reached five feet tall. She had neatly combed brown amber hair and a matching set of eyes. The girl was wearing an academy uniform with a white shopkeeper's apron over. In fine print the apron read, "Babies R US". Behind the girl were several babies locked in cages.
Baby poultry that is. Chickens, geese, ducks, and that sort of thing.
"Babies for sale!"
Hakase waved a small sign with the poultry prices. This was an energetic as the young teenager got. She was using every bit of her extrovert energy at the moment. Ordinarily she would have her nose buried in a textbook, but today she was summoning her inner genki girl. She was visibly nervous about having to sell her wares in such a way - but what else could she do? When you aren't born with a silver kunai you have to hustle if you want to make the rent. The academy provided her with a small allowance, but it was only barely enough to cover the absolute bare necessities. It couldn't be helped.
"What about you sir? Or is it mam?", Hakase shouted into the crowd, "Would you be interested in purchasing a baby? They were born just yesterday. You can't get more fresh than that!"
