The Little Incident of Selling Height-Increasing Insoles to Chuuya and Getting Caught by the Port Mafia

I'm just an ordinary employee at a Jiangnan leather goods factory. After my bastard boss ran off with my aunt, the factory went under. I was a little late getting to the warehouse, so all I managed to grab was a batch of height-increasing insoles to make up for my wages.

I decided to become an international trader.

My first stop was Yokohama, Japan. I heard it was a beautiful seaside city with a thriving shipping industry. I figured I could make my first fortune there.

On my first day in Yokohama, I set up a stall in Chinatown. A young man with orange hair became my first customer.

Height-increasing insoles! Put them in, and you'll instantly be five centimeters taller, dear.

The pitch hit the orange-haired young man right where it hurt. He promptly paid for a pair.

The next day, dozens of men in black dragged me into the Port Mafia's interrogation room.

The orange-haired young man ground his teeth and hurled the insoles he'd bought from me the day before at my feet.

You said these would make me taller! Why am I even shorter after wearing them?!

I took a good look. He did seem a little shorter than when we had met the day before.

P.S. The heroine's supernatural ability is Dimensional Reduction: she can make people shorter.

P.S. This is a collaborative series; the start date is undecided. The detailed series is as follows:
