"Hi … Hello …" At the end of the alley, the girl hesitantly pushed open a simple wooden door. The door creaked as it opened, and a ray of light shone into the shop from behind her.
Behind the counter, a girl with shoulder-length hair slowly raised her head. Her black hair slid down her shoulders as she moved, blending into her black dress.
"Please, please come in. Come in." Her entire body trembled, and then she said with incomparable enthusiasm. The depths of her eyes, which were as dark as her hair, seemed to be ignited with the flames of desire.
Frightened by her strange attitude, the girl who pushed open the door hesitated even more. After hesitating for a while, she tentatively opened her mouth and said, "That … I heard that you can exchange for anything here …"
"Yes, that's right. You can buy everything you want here," the girl behind the counter said eagerly before she could finish her sentence. Her attitude was very enthusiastic, but she was still leaning on the counter. "Please, please take a look around …"
As time went by, the pain from her heart became more and more intense. Even her chest felt like it was suffocating. She did not doubt that she might die in the next second.
"Then I want this …" The girl who entered the shop finally walked over hesitantly with an item in her hand. As soon as she walked to the counter, the box in her hand was snatched away by the person behind the counter. As if afraid that she would change her mind, the person quickly took out a beam of light from the box and shot it into the girl's body.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the black-haired girl's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. But after this series of actions, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief. After a while, she withdrew her hand. She raised her head and revealed a faint smile.
"… Thank you for your patronage."

Today, the Ice Emperor Academy's high school department welcomed a new transfer student.
Under the teacher's recommendation, a black-haired girl wearing thick glasses stood on the podium. Her long black hair was braided into two braids in front of her body. At first glance, she looked like a very quiet and introverted girl.
"My name is Su Yu. This is the first time we've met. I hope to get along well with everyone in the future." The girl's self-introduction was very brief. Listening to her voice, there was a kind of cold magnetism. Compared to her ordinary appearance, this kind of voice was a plus.
The students below the stage applauded. After the introduction, the teacher casually arranged a window seat for her, and the class began.
Su Yu stuffed her bag into the drawer, then took out a notebook and spread it out in front of her. Pretending to take notes seriously, she silently observed the other students in the classroom.
In the entire Class A of Ice Emperor High School, the most conspicuous people were the two people sitting in the middle of the classroom. Keigo Atobe, who was regarded as the Ice Emperor since junior high school, naturally had a good family background and outstanding appearance. Not to mention, he was also the head of the tennis department and the president of the Ice Emperor Student Association. He was the most popular person in the school.
Su Yu already knew this boy very well. He had always been in the 'script' of the world. It could be said that she knew his past like the back of her hand. However, the other girl sitting next to him was much more subtle.
That person had a head of slightly blue silver hair. Looking from the back, her back was straight. It seemed that she was just an ordinary girl except for the fact that she was sitting next to Atobe. However, that special hair color still caught Su Yu's attention.
"Maybe she's the target. Unfortunately, I still don't have any impression of her …" The girl held her face with one hand and muttered to herself. An inexplicable emotion flowed through her black eyes that were covered by thick glasses.
Although what she was going to do next was a little troublesome, it might be the right thing to do.
She had to fix everything.
The bell for the end of class rang. After the new transfer student received her books from the academic affairs office, the class committee quickly handed her an application form to join a club.
"Here, choose a club you're interested in. If you want to join the Student Association, just hand this form directly to Atobe -sama. He's the president of our school's Student Association. You know that, right?" In order to let her know more about the situation in the class, the class committee enthusiastically introduced to the girl. "If you can't hand it to Atobe -sama, you can hand it to his deskmate. After all, Chiba is the vice president of our Student Association."
"… Chiba is?" After listening to the class committee's long speech, the girl wearing thick glasses finally opened her mouth.
Hearing her question, the class committee smiled and said, "It's that beautiful girl with silver hair, Ryuri Chiba, the princess of the Ice Emperor."
With that said, the class committee turned sideways and gestured to the girl surrounded by the crowd, "What do you think? She's pretty, right? She's also the coach of the Men's Net Department. Although she looks like an elegant beauty, she's super athletic, and her grades are also excellent. She's a perfect campus idol!"
Speaking of the object of his admiration, the class committee's eyes shone with excitement. Su Yu subtly stepped back and smiled at the class committee, thanking him for telling her all this.
After the person in front of the desk left, she looked at the radiant girl through the gaps in the crowd.
Based on the information she collected in the morning and the class committee's speech just now, this Ryuri Chiba was undoubtedly the former customer she was looking for.
The so-called customers referred to souls that came from other planes. Some souls had strong personal desires, and would be given the opportunity to be reborn by certain laws. In order to encourage them to stay strong in other planes, before they were reborn, they would be allowed to come to Su Yu's Mary Sue Grocery Store once, and obtain the goods they wanted through a transaction.
The goods produced by Mary Sue's Grocery Store all had something in common. It was a combination of the qualities of the owner of the goods themselves. The more goods a person had, the more amazing the effects would be, and the easier it would be for the people around her to notice her. If this trait became stronger, even if the effect of the goods had nothing to do with love, it would still make the people around her unconditionally fall in love with her.
This trait, combined with the name of her store, Su Yu called it the Mary Sue Halo.
There was no doubt that Qianye Liuli already had a rather powerful Mary Sue halo around her. Under the influence of this halo, the entire class … no, the entire school would be attracted to her. It was no wonder that she was called the 'Ice Empress's Princess'.
Su Yu tried hard to recall the memory of her transaction with Ryuri Chiba. She couldn't help but rub her temples with a headache.
"I think I have a slight impression … but it's better to confirm it." She pursed her lips and looked at the club application form in front of her. After hesitating for a while, she put a small tick behind the cheerleading team.
She just heard that Ryuri Chiba was in the boys' club. If she wanted to observe her interaction with the original characters in the 'script,' she would have to get close to her during club activities. Although the cheerleading team had some conflicts with her original idea of being a quiet girl, it seemed like this was the only way to get close to her since the boys' club wasn't hiring a manager.
If she remembered correctly, Ryuri Chiba bought a very troublesome ability from her store.
After filling out the club application form, Su Yu put it in her pocket. After the school bell rang, Su Yu asked around and finally found the cheerleading team's activity room.
She thought the cheerleading team's activity room would at least be a dance classroom. However, when she looked in the direction, what she saw was only a normal classroom.
Su Yu suddenly had a bad premonition when she thought of the strange looks the students gave her when she asked for directions.
Opening the door of the classroom, the first thing that came into view was a few desks that had been put together. A few girls were sitting around the table, and the table was filled with potato chips, cakes, and even UNO cards. The entire activity room was sparsely occupied by a dozen people, and it was not even clear if there were enough people to officially play at one time.
"Excuse me, is this … the cheerleading club?" The girl asked hesitantly.
She looked so pitiful. Shouldn't cheerleading be a group of little fairies who only drink dew all day to maintain their figure? Is it really okay to eat snacks like this?
While she was thinking, a girl behind the table stood up. After looking at her for a moment, she exclaimed in surprise, "What? The form in your hand, is it the club application form?"
"Is it necessary to be so surprised …" Su Yu subconsciously said what was on her mind. Then, she remembered her image as a girl with no family background. She paused for a moment and walked forward, "Yes, may I ask who is the president? I want to join the cheerleading team."
"I am the president, Nana Kawakami, but …" The girl with short brown hair walked around the table and said hesitantly, "You must be a new transfer student. It's good that you have the intention, but …"
"I suggest you fill out a new club application form. The cheerleading team now … is not what you think it is. It may be disbanded soon. Before that, it's better …"
"Head!" A girl behind her shouted in dissatisfaction, "How can you do this? It's rare for a new member to want to join …"
"But am I not telling the truth?" Suddenly, Naina Kawakami frowned and interrupted her. She turned to look at the member who objected, her voice filled with defeat and humiliation. "Now that things have come to this, do you really think that our cheerleading squad still exists? A cheerleading squad that can't perform on stage can't even be called a cheerleading squad!"
"What happened?" Su Yu interrupted. She walked into the room and said calmly, "Maybe I can help you."
"Oh, how can you help …" Nana Kawakami sighed and looked back at the girl with heavy glasses in front of the door, "If I told you that the Ice Emperor's cheerleading team became like this because of that woman, Ryuri Chiba, would you believe me?"
She had seen too many people who would jump up and refute her words the moment they heard the name Qianye Liuli. Most of the members had also left the club because of her insistence on this conclusion, leaving behind only those who still loved this broken club.
The girl in front of him pushed up her glasses, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a gentle smile.
