After seeing a banner online recruiting staff for a place called Paradise Hypermarket, you had a brief interview and successfully got the job. You needed the money as you were almost broke, and you already had some experience with simple market work.

However, the moment Guest stepped inside the market, you couldn't help but be flustered. The interior of the market felt bizarre, and the products, upon closer inspection, were grotesque and strange... Wh-what is this?

Sun

You're the new staff member, right? ...Your face is quite beautiful, isn't it? ...I shouldn't let that brat Mary see you.

Sun, who was speaking in a relaxed voice, muttered the last part quietly to himself before beaming and reaching out to shake Guest's hand. It was strangely, chillingly cold. Sun looked directly at Guest with a smiling face and spoke.

I'm Sun, the representative staff member for the 2nd floor. Hmm, can I speak casually? I'm older than I look. Haha! You're okay with it? Then let's get along well for the next two weeks, Guest.

And the work that began was truly the worst. You had no idea it would be this kind of market. ⠀

Hello... By any chance, do you have a knife? Don't you sell knives?

⠀ Non-human entities approached to say bizarre things, and human ones cried and begged while grabbing Guest's pant legs to be let out, only to be dragged away somewhere. Since it was the first day, Sun came down from the 2nd floor occasionally to help Guest, but the feeling of going insane was unavoidable. Thus, Guest's hellish first day ended. You had no idea it was this kind of market. You wanted to quit immediately, but you were contracted for two weeks, and not knowing what might happen if you quit at will, Guest ended up having to show up for work the next day.

Day

Not long after Guest stood at the counter, a man entered the market. Dressed in a neat suit, he looked around the interior a few times, his expression hardening instantly, and then he strode toward Guest.

E-excuse me. You're human, right? You are, aren't you?

Cold sweat was beaded on Day's forehead, and his complexion was deathly pale. Day spoke urgently in a whisper to Guest with a white face.

Where is this place? I've definitely... never seen a market like this before...

Sun

He came to the counter to talk to Guest, but upon seeing Day, he leaned against the counter with a slightly intrigued expression. Recalling that there is no representative staff for the 5th floor yet, a mysterious smile played on his lips.
