Hogwarts: My Yorozuya has no taboos!

Chapter 84 Department Store Opening

"It's been a hectic weekend for me, gentlemen, but I've done my job well."

Ares smiled broadly as he looked at the three astonished boys in front of him.

The place where the group was located was the room Ares usually used for practical classes. However, it was no longer the secluded valley where swamps and mountains coexisted, but had been restored to a normal classroom... only it was several times larger!

"Merlin's beard..."

Fred rubbed his eyes hard, his face filled with disbelief at what he was seeing.

At this moment, the classroom, which looks more like a warehouse, is filled with neatly arranged shelves. Under the bright midday sun on Monday, each shelf is also packed with rows of tempting goods.

With Ares's encouraging smile, Fred, George, and Lee, like puppets, walked with stiff and strange steps, admiring the fruits of Ares's labor.

"There are 42 shelves in total. One-third of them are filled with all kinds of candy, five or six shelves are used to display various models of fireworks that I got from Dr. Philippa, and the rest are mostly all kinds of interesting trinkets that I got from the general store."

Ah, considering that girls at Hogwarts might not be as interested in joke products as boys, here are some robes and innerwear styles that are currently popular in the wizarding world, recommended by Madam Malkin.

For students who love learning, Flourish and Blotts generously provides their stock of interesting books... oh, most of them are biographies and the like, with a special recommendation for Gilderoy Lockhart's biography... Crucibles, quills, ink, parchment, and the like are naturally plentiful, which are consumables that students need to replenish frequently.

"Yes, that's right, Butterbeer, from Mr. Tom at the Leaky Cauldron. Of course, you've probably seen the label on the shelf; it's only sold to students in their third year and above."

Like a salesperson enthusiastically promoting his products, Ares, with a smug smile, introduced his department store to the three boys.

hiss!

hiss!

hiss!

When Ares led the three boys, who had lost the ability to think, through half of the shelves and arrived at an area in the center of the classroom surrounded by red ribbon, he unsurprisingly heard Fred, George, and Lee gasp.

"I knew you guys would like this number 1"

Ares glanced at the three boys beside him and smiled, "Quidditch products...including special care kits for various models of flying brooms, broom polish, figurines of popular players from major league clubs, Quidditch stadium models... oh, and of course, the grand finale is a Nimbus 2000!"

The three little boys, who always loved to scare their classmates, screamed as if they were being choked!

It took George Weasley quite a while to recover.

His face, flushed as if scorched by a fireplace, reluctantly pulled his gaze from the dazzling Nimbus 2000, fixing it on Professor Delfino with a mixture of fervent admiration and awe. "You really think a student can afford a Nimbus... I mean, it must cost at least 500 Galleons!"

"Actually, one is not needed."

Ares was very pleased with the shock the department store had caused the three boys. "For my sake, the owner of the Quidditch boutique is willing to give you an extra discount... about 420 coins, and you can take it home!"

"I'm afraid I'll never have that hope in my lifetime!"

Fred Weasley looked at the four rectangular light wheels one last time with a sigh, filled with sorrow.

However, Fred quickly cheered up.

He looked around, his gaze lingering on the dazzling array of goods on the shelves. "You are truly... I never dared to hope... but I never expected to actually meet such a remarkable teacher as you... Caring for the physical and mental well-being of young wizards, you are truly amazing, Professor Delfino!"

"A historic moment!"

George stared at Professor Delfino with boundless anticipation. "I bet my talent, Professor Delfino, this classroom will be the most popular place at Hogwarts... the young wizards will definitely waste every minute of their free time here!"

"If that's really the case..."

Ares said with a smile, "Professor Dumbledore might not do anything to me, but Professor McGonagall would definitely want to fight me to the death... So, I don't plan to keep this place open forever... Once a week, I think that way no one can gossip."

Once a week?

The three boys exchanged glances.

This place is a treasure trove of gold... but you can only visit it once a week?

"Are you really not going to reconsider, Professor Delfino?"

Fred said regretfully, "I'll try to get it done one more time."

"Ah, that's basically the style; it won't change anymore."

Ares gently guided the three boys by the shoulders toward the door, his tone light and cheerful. "Of course, on holidays like Halloween and Christmas, it will be open to all young wizards... Finally, I've always thought that the reward system of giving young wizards extra points is too monotonous, so I'll try to discuss with the other professors about a different reward and punishment system... If a young wizard or a class of young wizards behaves well for a period of time, they can be rewarded with extra time to hang out here..."

Ah, of course, the punishment is quite simple: deprive him of his weekly shopping trip.

Before the three boys, whose expressions had turned drastically red, could protest loudly, Ares chuckled and said, "Anyway, I am a professor, right... I have to contribute something to the school's teaching."

"That's it, Fred, Lee!"

George looked ashen. "Then the three of us will probably never have the chance to come back here again in our lives."

"Then try not to put yourself through so much solitary confinement, Mr. Weasley."

Ares pushed the three reluctant boys out of the room, smiling broadly. "You three are the salespeople I've booked... I forgot to mention how your salaries will be paid... One percent of the weekly turnover will be your wages. I believe this is better than sneaking out of the school through a secret passage in the middle of the night to smuggle goods from Hogsmeade."

"Okay, for the sake of those charming little coins, we'll try to be as careful as possible when we're causing trouble."

Fred gritted his teeth, looking pained as if he had paid a heavy price. "One last question, Professor Delfino... how do you plan to introduce the store to the students?"

"Ah, about this—"

Ares stared at the closed wooden door, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I've got a brilliant idea."
