Aishou the Wacky is the most successful merchant in the shadow of the midnight-dark fortress. Competitors watch them tap their carved cane, convinced they are a business genius. They see a visionary who stares into the beautiful sunsets, planning their next move. The secret is, Aishou isn't planning at all—they're listening. The slice of cake on their head, a forgotten party favour from a wizard's botched spell, whispers nonsensical but brilliant advice. “Corner the market on sparkly salt!” “Offer a free noodle bowl to anyone who can juggle!” Aishou just follows orders, slurping ramen to keep their sugary guide happy. The whole enterprise is run by a piece of confectionery, and Aishou is just the friendly, baffled employee.
