He Who Fights with Monsters 11 (He Who Fights with Monsters, #11)

Vitesse had many shopping districts. In one of the canal districts there was a patisserie called ‘The Pastry Stash.’ A bird flew in through an opening in the roof, turning into a person when he was inside. He went into the front where the manager, Janice, was working with the counter staff to handle a gaggle of customers. She saw him gesturing and headed into the back of the shop. “What is it, Boss?” she asked. “We need to hide the tunnel better. Good enough that gold-rankers can’t find it.” “Boss, I’m going to ask why. Again. The illusions and warding magic we have on there now cost more than six months’ profit. And we’re doing really well; we make a lot of profit. I’ll remind you that Miss Farrah said that scaling up any more than what we have already would be multiple times more expensive. Is it really worth it when there’s nothing down there but baked goods and food stasis enchantments?” “Yes!”
