Chapter 123: Watermelon Juice
The three kids who bought the melon juice earlier were the catalyst for more people to start crowding their little stalls. Even Princess Margaux is very much in the know regarding crowds and yet she didn’t expect to feel suffocated by all the people trying to buy from their little shop.
Julia is working double time by peeling watermelons at a fast speed before putting them inside the tank jar and blending them inside using her manipulation of the water and easily crushing all of the flesh of the watermelon. Since it didn’t have any seeds, she didn’t need to segregate them all and just crushed everything inside the tank in one go.
As for Elaina, she is already so experienced in handling crowds that the crowd that is currently waiting for their orders is nothing to her. She continues to serve the people with a smile on her face, and a threatening and scary face the moment a few thugs tried their chance at intimidating her.
"Hey, if you don’t want trouble, give the entire stock to us. Otherwise, you will not like it."
"Oho, using force are we?" Elaina smiled but this time, her smile currently carrying a weight of threat she grabbed one of the metal pipes that one of the men was carrying and simply folded it singlehandedly without ever exerting too much effort.
"Wah...!" the men were surprised while Elaina continued to smile but this time, a smile that no longer exuded the kind smile. A smile that threatens anyone.
"Just so you know, troublemakers. I don’t care what your status is. If you don’t act normally as a customer, then no drinks for you. Continue once again and perhaps the metal pipe is not the only thing that will bend in unimaginable form, understood, boys?"
The thugs nodded in response before leaving without taking an order. This made Elaina gain the approval of the populace and cheers from everyone.
"Haha, sorry about the problem, people. The melon juice serving will continue once more no problem!"

Afternoon arrived and just like what Elaina expected, their wares were sold out and everything they had brought together was also gone in a flash, converted into money. All the customers are also accommodated to the very last drop as well, making it a big success.
Now that they are done, Julia immediately tears the scroll of teleportation, and the three disappear from where they are standing leaving behind the clean stall that will become part of rumors spreading regarding the mysterious seller of melon who quenched the thirst of the people who wanted something for a cheap 1 gold while also quenching the cravings of many people who still can’t out from the craving phase of the watermelon. However, it won’t be happening again anytime soon since Elaina will not be back then again.

"...And that should be the final total. We have gained 1552 gold from selling 4 watermelons converted into juice. That’s a big leap from what we were expecting!" Julia exclaimed after finishing the final count.
"Yeah. I didn’t expect that we would be able to serve at least 1552 cups of watermelon juice by just using 4 watermelons and ice magic for the juice,’ Princess Margaux was in awe as well.
"That’s a 952 gold difference compared to the usual price. You can thank the ice that Julia makes that allowed us to serve more than usual. Due to us continuously crushing more flesh of the melon the ice that got mixed in melts, carries over to the melon juice as an additional, and then becomes juice themselves due to the taste joining together. Good work girls, here have some of the fresh melon slices to reenergize yourselves."
"I will not say no to that," Princess Margaux smiled as she grabbed one slice of the watermelon.
"Me too as well," Julia sighed due to her tiredness and grabbed a bite of the melon and their faces turned to fulfillment after eating a slice of one.
As for Elaina, she smiled after the strategy was a flawless success. Not only that but the money that is meant for the repair of the farmhouse is now complete and ready to be used as well. In short, she is no longer out of money and can now proceed with renovating the whole house with new, sturdy, and cleaner rooms and making the place look more presentable than like a rickety dilapidated house.
"Are we going to do that again tomorrow, Miss Elaina?" Princess Margaux asked.
However, Elaina shook her head. "Nope. We won’t do it for a while."
"Eh? Why though? It’s profitable and we can use that to our advantage to earn more money!" Julia was confused about the strategy of Elaina.
"We don’t want to overstay our welcome, girls. If we do it again, we will instead see lower numbers of sales in the end due to this matter. People will want to look for new variety so within a short duration, our bestselling product will become stagnant quickly and will immediately lose its charm. We can’t afford for that to happen. Instead, we play over the taste of the populace and let them crave it. Too much and it will become boring. Less and it will become something that everyone will seek. In short, control the masses using limited edition items and they will come running compared to the common items."
Princess Margaux slowly understood what Elaina meant. Because their product was brand new and not common to be bought, it sold quite a lot. However, because it is not generally unique overall, a repeated action of the same thing will just make it stop being unique and rare as it will become a common thing after that little fact.
"Now, where are we?"
In the end, the news about the watermelon was so tasty, that it disappeared from the market became one of the famous talk in the town, and slowly turned into some sort of legend. However, this story will only happen for some time and Elaina will not know much about it at that time.
