It was Sunday afternoon and I had set up my food cart in one of the busier intersections in town to sell chocolate bars. The cart itself was a simple affair; it was little more than a wooden wheelbarrow with boxes of chocolate bars on top. The family's main storefront had more decoration to it but that was all right that the cart was so plain in comparison. After all the real goal of selling chocolates today was to do market research on which Raikage chocolate bars would sell the best. Based on last week's sales I learned the hard way that people weren't interested in rasberry filled chocolates in the shape of Raikage Kagetsu Kiyo. Hopefully today's options would fare better with the public.
On top of one of the boxes was the day's availability:
"Come and try limited edition chocolate bars in the shape of our village's greatest heroes!" I shouted toward the passing crowd.
"Don't be shy! Step right up before they melt away!" Not that our chocolates would actually melt. One of the benefits of living so far north was that the climate was nice and cool. I pitied anyone trying to sell chocolate in the south. Theirs really would melt away!
By the way, you might be asking yourself - who is that beautiful young maiden selling chocolate bars on a Sunday afternoon? Why it's none other than me - Ame Chokorēto - heiress of the Ame Company. I twirled around in my velvet red dress with a handful of chocolate bars in my hand.
"Not only have these limited edition bars have been painstakingly sculpted in the image of our beloved Raikages, but they're jam packed with three hundred and twenty seven percent of your daily recommended sugar intake!"
Hopefully by saying this so cheerfully people wouldn't think about that last statement too much. Remember kiddos, chocolate is sometimes food.
