"What do you mean I have to wait two years for my order?!"  The young woman shouted at Miyoko. "I'm getting married in six months and you can't make my wedding dress for me!"  

"Honorable customer."  Miyoko said as she stood in front of one of the shop workers who was already in tears from the angry customer.  "For the dress you have requested for, you will need to be placed on a waiting list. The next time slot that is open for you would be in two years.  We have other dress options also available for you, those other options can be made within a six month period."  

"Tsk."  The angry woman sneered at Miyoko.  "Why would I want to buy something inferior for my wedding dress?  I only want the best! I demand the best! You will make the wedding dress I want for my wedding, in six months!" 

Miyoko smiled at the young woman and waved her hand towards the door.  Once the signal was given, the guards opened the shop door and stood to the side.  

"Valuable customer, I regret to tell you that we will not be making your desired wedding dress for your wedding in six months.  Since we are at in impass, the doors are open for you to leave and chose another dress shop to make your dress for you."  

The young woman's mouth pinched together as if she just ate something sour.  Behind her was two male guards as well, who stood silently behind her. They had not said anything the whole time, nor had they moved from their spot.  

"You!  Do you know who I am?"  The young woman asked as she screamed at the top of her lungs.  As she shouted, the passersby stopped to see what was happening in the usually quiet dress shop.  "I will be marrying Magistrate Hibi! This small town's Magistrate! It is YOUR honor to be making MY dress!  So quickly place my order in front and begin making it!"  

Unable to stand by and watch his mother getting yelled at by the insensible customer, Yasu walks between the two of them and blocks the rude customer's glare at his mother.   

"Excuse my rudeness, young lady."  Yasu said as he looked down at the petite woman.  "We, here at Illuminating Splendor, don't care who you are.  Rules are rules. First come, first serve."  

Yasu turns around and grabs the customer's ordering list and saw what she wanted for her wedding dress.  Everything that she wanted was the best out of the best. Not only that, but it was only Yasu who was able to make her wedding dress.  

"Not only that."  Yasu said as he showed her the ordering list.  "Look. See here. The kind of silk you want are made from special silkworm farms that takes up to one year for the silkworms to spin enough silk to embroider your dress.  Not only that, but each silk thread has to be dyed. The materials that are needed for the dyes, takes 6 to 8 months to gather. Not only that but to weave the silk threads together to make your dress also takes about 2-3 months.  Finally when all the materials are gathered, it takes about 3-5 months to embroider the dress. So tell me, young lady, how can we, Illuminating Splendor, make your dream wedding dress, with only six months to spare?" 

"You..."  The young lady stuttered as she didn't know what to say.  "You're Illuminating Splendor, right?!? Then make it happen within six months!"  

"We at Illuminating Splendor do not rush to make inferior products.  The quality of our products is key to our reputation and honor. We will not make inferior products, sell them to customers and call it quality goods from Illuminating Splendor."  

Seeing how the young man was not willing to settle with her wishes, she had to use her future husband's dignity once again.  

"I guess you didn't hear me the first time, young man!  My future husband is the Official Magistrate. You will make my wedding dress, or I'll have him close down your shop forever!" She threatened.
