The entire place went mad.
Crowds surged through the streets, pushing and shouting, trying to reach the new shop that had suddenly become the talk of the entire industrial district.
"Isn't that the Dragon Peacock Restaurant?" someone gasped, pointing toward the elegant, newly rebranded building.
"Yeah… looks like some big shot bought the place and turned it into a fish shop!" another replied in disbelief.
By dawn, long lines had already formed outside. Factory workers, merchants, tavern owners, and even high-class chefs scrambled to buy as much Firecarp as possible. Within mere hours, Mina's Fish Shop became the most talked-about name in every connected city.
Inside the shop, chaos reigned in its own way.
"Why am I the poster girl?!" Yumina cried, holding up one of the flyers plastered all over the streets.
"And why am I on the signboard of the shop?!" she pointed at the storefront, where a huge wooden board bore her smiling face holding a shining Firecarp fish.
