A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

”Woah! There are so many items here!” The sheer amount of items displayed on the shelf marveled Titus and the other adventurers. It wasn’t a specific item; it ranged from keychains to stuffed animals.

”You can exchange your tickets for prizes here. The signboard on top tells you how many tickets each item needs.”

It was 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000.

”That’s an interesting idea.” Morgan stared at the different items. The ticket system was perfect in this situation.

Keith nodded, ”Mmhmm. It gives customers a reason to buy more.” An incentive. With so many customers buying five skewers per order, their efforts should be rewarded.

”But only from food?” 

”No, you can earn tickets everywhere in our section! And there are games where you can earn more tickets.”

”Hmm? Where?”

”That’s for you to find out. I can’t spoil everything now.” Keith grinned as he walked away. Even though he wasn’t manning any stalls, he checked up on the rest.

“Muriel, how are the stalls doing?” Assistant Muriel was on the job.

”Everything has been steady. There are a lot of people heading over to the food stalls. There’s no sign of stopping either.” It was going at a great pace.

“Hehe, operation get them by the nose is a success.” 

“...” We’re really going to call it that? The mer-princess wanted another name for it. Yet, it was too difficult to change since it was actually so! Three of the five food stalls were set up closer to the entrance; that way, they would draw customers in by aroma.

However, this was only the start.

A chain reaction. As the customers entered to find more food, they would look around to search for it. That was when they noticed the other stalls. The others were gaining traction from this effect.   

Keith then turned to Muriel, “Then we don’t need to do anything for now.” Ride the wave. Since their class had such a strong pace, there was no need to alter anything. I don’t need to pull out any more cards.

The day went smoothly as more customers entered their section. At the end of the day, the students headed for their representatives. They were the ones who informed them about the rankings.

Coen grinned, “Today, we’re 4th place!” 

“Woohoo!”

“That’s amazing!” 

“Yeah!” 

Fourth place out of the seven classes was excellent for F-class.

Keith asked, ”S-class is in first place?”

”Mmhmm.” S-class was S-class for a reason. They were going to be around the top no matter what. Coen grinned as he spoke up, “But what we did is already amazing enough!” Given how F-class was ranked at the bottom all the time, it was a great start!

”Indeed it is. But don’t forget about our goal.” Keith added. 

“Yeah! First place, here we come!”

“Yeah!” 

“Let’s get that first place!”

”We’ll probably get a higher ranking tomorrow.” Muriel realized it as she explained, ”S-class will take a break from their section tomorrow. I’m pretty sure there would be more attention directed to the other sections.” Each class would get a break from their station a day. S-class would be taking a break on the second day. 

”...Are we going to take second place?” They were close to third place which was B-class.   

“Yeah!” 

”Let’s go!” The F-class students couldn’t help but cheer at this amazing news.

Keith shook his head, “We should be. Remember to bring that fire when you go out there tomorrow.” They could only beat the other classes with their fire and enthusiasm. It wasn’t a gap where they could relax.

“Yeah!” 

“We got this!”

“We’ll show them a festival they will never forget!”

“We also got some secret weapons on our side.” Keith grinned. The other F-class did the same, as they knew about the secret weapons.

“It’s time to unlock the first one tomorrow.” 

”Mmhmm!” Keith and the others broke after they talked about it some more. When he returned home, he saw their smirking expressions. 

”...What?” 

”Nothing.” Carolyn and the others smirked ear to ear. 

”...” You guys are that happy about beating me now? It was clear to him why they were so satisfied. The man could only yawn at this.

Scarlet grinned, ”How could you be so nonchalant?”

”Because I can.” Keith stretched his hands into the air back and forth. But as he did, he noticed Faelyn’s dark look. ”What’s the matter, Faelyn?” It was odd since it was the calm and collected Faelyn. 

”Don’t know, I just felt something was off.” Throughout the day, she felt this off feeling.

”Hmm?”

”You’re worrying over nothing.” Herrick waved, ”We got first place, and we’re going to be staying there.”

”Yeah.” I’m worrying for nothing.
