Chapter 19 Competition is Not Fair (2) The nobles of Britannia are generally capable. What made Britannia the great power it is today was a cruelly thorough meritocracy. Those who try to show off with only their noble bloodline will be beaten by everyone. Therefore, the nobles of Britannia always polish and refine themselves.

Chapter 18 Competition is Not Fair (1) If one were to compare human relationships to chemical reactions. The pitch-black night would be like a catalyst that promotes such chemical reactions. For instance, a man and woman who are attracted to each other would share sweet whispers of love, and when a defenseless passerby meets a robber, they would engage in a cordial monetary transaction. And when the branch manager of ‘Devon Trust Bank’ and a city council senator meet under the moonlight, they…

Penelope had taken charge of the entire process. “I didn’t know you would step forward this much, Miss.” “Manager Ritz doesn’t need to be grateful. I just did what I had to do.

Chapter 13 What is Marketing (1) Even after making Cola, it was a continuous series of busy schedules. You couldn’t just sell Cola in glasses, could you?

Characterized by originality that could distinguish its form even when grabbed in the dark, or…

Chapter 12 Ugly Flower (8) In the middle of the Workshop that was nothing short of chaos. The appearance of Cola contained in a transparent bottle was truly radiant. At first glance it was a black and gloomy liquid, but when sunlight passed through it, it revealed a sensual brown color. “……” “……” The two people who had been jumping around with joy just moments before now held their breath and examined it as if appreciating a work of art. “Ah, we really completed it.” One month…

Chapter 11 Ugly Flower (7) 6 AM. The luxurious private suite at The Richfield Hotel. Penelope’s somewhat early morning begins. Penelope took off her sleeping cap and turned off the loudly ringing alarm clock. “Yaaawn…” She yawned languidly and stretched thoroughly.

Chapter 10 Ugly Flower (6) The ingredient preparation work that began late at night didn’t finish until late afternoon the next day. “Good work. Vic, you’re always so diligent.” Vic responded by weakly waving his drooping tentacles without a word. When I placed candy on his hand, he fled to his bag as if afraid I’d call on him again and zipped it shut. “I hadn’t planned to do everything at once…” Once I started thinking I should finish what I’d begun, I couldn’t stop. When I…
