>You're selling a whole bunch of... leeks!?

p2
>...Actually,

>this leek trader who's looked after me since long ago

>...

>Hmm~...
>I want to buy some to support her... but...

>Um...
>So with that said,
>given the time we're in,

>would it be better for the store
>to have its own social media account!?

>That LINE...? was more of a tool for regular customers,

>so this'd be more for attracting new ones...

>...
>Indeed.

p2
>Theoretically speaking,
>you should have one.
>That's my opinion, at least...

>...
>However,

>...no matter how many fans there are over the globe,
>there's a limit to how many of them actually live in the neighborhood.
>Hrm...
>It'd be better to hand out flyers around the area
>and make the store's signboard stand out more, right?
