The small, unusued store front was perfect, the last little store that was there had gone out of business after all the 'dishonorable merchant' students from those years graduated. Mako had stalked it out days before. Now - technically - it wasn't hers yet, but still, she had set up in it, with a big sign reading 'Rokugan High Student Store'. She was the first one there, and she had created a beautiful sign to advertise it - and already approached her parents in the time before school started to set up funneling goods from their company to her, to sell at the same price as their online marketplace - and still get a cut for herself and the club.
Yeah, it wasn't the most amazing storefront as of yet, with only a handful of food products and some extra uniforms - and little accessories like pins and the like, but it was still well set up, for the short time she had spent. And more goods would surely come in. The little pink girl bounced around within the store she had squatted in, without official approval of the council - breaking the rules of the same council she sat on. Because she was that terrible.
"Come one! Come all! Learn to sell a product! Learn the value of work! Or maybe just earn yourself some free food and accessories!"

Walking over towards the store is Shibatsu Eito who looks over the items with a lazy little smile. "Hmm, interesting. Very interesting, but I am afraid your club doesn't have a sponsor. Add some of my products in and I will be more then happy to be your sponsor." he says quite brightly at the Store that he remembered from his youth, having been one of those very same dishonorable merchant types who had run it in the past. The chance to increase the trade in the school, educate his students and make a small buck, while also pushing students into 'dishonorable' behavior? Golden.
"What do you say Mako-san?" he asks her brightly.

Utaku Hitomi wandered over to the student store. "Hmmmm..." She glances around and up to Mako. She blinks briefly as though studying her. "Have we met?"

"Mm." She looked at the Sensei with a smile, business-like and professional, "I don't know, you seem to gain a lot more out of this than I. Exposure of your products least among them. The ability to influence students every day, who need necessities? Access to be able to track what exactly each and every student purchases? Ooh, so much use for a powerful, corrupting Spider." She said it with this little giggle, as she negotiated with him, with that little happy smile, "If you provide your products for no cost to us, except on the basis that we give you a small cut to cover the production costs, the rest going to our members - especially those without the money for themselves..." She smiled.
"As much as I want to run this club for myself, it would be nice to be able to help provide some spending money for students who need it. This would be very useful as a way to provide more."
And then Hitomi arrived, and she grinned, "Ah! Utaku Hitomi-san... we uh, we met the morning before school officially started. On move in day!" She grinned at the girl, and giggled happily, "How are you? How has school been for you?"

A student run store? Hinata had to investigate this. If the store was looking for students to work in it, maybe she could drop that wretched job at the maid cafe and do something that at least let her keep a shred of dignity. She was not surprised to see that the store was bare bones as she walked in. After all, no store could get stock that quickly. She noticed Mako and Eito talking, and bowed to them. She would wait for them to finish their conversation before introducing herself.

She blinks a few times and then nods her head. "Yes you met Mizuki correct?" She sighs wishing she could have her friend with her. "I remember you now. School has been.." She thinks of Kakita Isao and blushes slightly. "... interesting... I had heard about club day... and was looking for some clubs."

Eito thinks slightly, tapping his finger on his lips. "Products at Cost, plus 1%, the rest goes to the students and I will guarantee a initial 100 Koku investment and only take my money on sale so you aren't responsible for unsold product. This and you gain as a financial adviser one of Daikoku Magazines's Top 100 investors to give general advice as well as double check your numbers at the end of the day and open up some new product oportunities as well."
He smiles at her. "I do want to help the students grow and gain some spending money, I would also like to justify my expenses a little more. Does that combo seem fair to you Mako-san?" he asks brightly, bowing his head to the other two students.

"That sounds wonderful. Honestly, I was prepared to fund the store myself if I had to. The students deserve the chance to learn this kind of thing, if only so they can manage their own households and know what money means." She siiighed, and grinned at Eito, "But hey, I'm sure my parents will prefer to not have to pay for my interests. If they notice." Once the deal was sealed, she bowed to Kuni Hinata, before looking back to Hitomi, "Well, the store is being filed as an official club, yes! We're hoping to help students whose families are running businesses help learn how to run their business when they graduate, so that they may be a boon to their family in these modern days." She gave a broad smile, and then looked back to Eito, "As well as hoping to help students from the minor clans or those families with little wealth have a way to safely make spending money, so they don't feel the need to do dangerous or unfitting work, of course." She beamed at the various people gathered. |

Hinata sighed in relief. So it was a paying job. No more having to work at the maid cafe.
"Hello, Otomo-sama. This one is Kuni Hinata. I would be honored to work at the store."

Utaku Hitomi nods her head. "I would like to learn how to manage my families finances. I know mother would probably appreciate it if I learned a few things..." She looks down. "I don't know how well a shop translates into what my family does but I suppose it's a start... I could maybe get some product from my family to sell.. if we can sell horses though?"
