The sweet shop run by the couple once thrived with customers swarming, the business booming.
Even as the number of Half Angels increased, these one-winged beings became more versatile, able to precisely calculate ratios and create desserts more delicious, healthier, and perfect for families than humans ever could.
Yet for humans of the past, these treats created by fellow beings, perhaps carrying some flaws, always retained a unique allure.
However, as humans aged and generations changed, the number of guests naturally dwindled.
Truthfully, this wasn't entirely bad, because as they grew older, they could no longer make as many desserts.
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couple shared a knowing smile, a smile that mixed relief with a trace of indescribable loneliness.
As of now, only a few old patrons would send their household's Half Angels to purchase something. And young human guests like the Empress had faded from the couple's memory.
