Counter-Productive

To me, it sounds like a nice "Wait and see" strategy will work best. Can't eat it, can't sell it, can't move it. We don't even know WHAT exactly the incoming threat it, just a general "Threat" and that our secret will stop being a secret soon. THAT sounds like a problem for Future-Us.

Don't forget the cat food

You resolve to deal with the problem at a later time. Until then, you've got work to do!

Looks like the kitty came back again last night. It's a shame it won't come near you, but at least it's eating something. Better fill up the food dish again.

Go water your crops!

You leave the cat food out on the balcony and grab the watering can. Looks like your pumpkins are growing nicely! You'll have to remember to move them out of the planter before they get too big.

In the meantime, maybe look into hiring a shop guard. Of all the things that creepy tri-eyed thing said, the warning about us not being able to guard the shop seem the most present to me. Having a hire who can watch the store for us while we do other things, or someone with a high HP to tank the front line if anything storms the storefront.

You head downstairs to unlock the front door. Just as you get there, someone knocks on it!

Who could be visiting this early?

"Hello?"
"Hello there! I'm the owner of the convention center down the street. I heard you were selling weapons and potions to people trying to leave?"
"Yes, that's right."
"I can't thank you enough! If not for you, so many wouldn't be able to go home!"
"Oh, it's nothing... This has always been a magic and weapons shop. I just took over recently."
"Still. I'm sure you know how dangerous the monsters can be."
"So did you just come to thank me?"
"No, not just that. I was wondering, do you have any other staff?"
"No, it's just me at the moment. Though I have been considering hiring some help."
"Perfect! I'd like to introduce you to my nephew."
"Hey."
"He'd like to volunteer here until everyone at the convention hall is home safe. Would that be all right with you?"
