I read in a spoiler that at some point he tears up the contract so I think they'll have that discussion soon...a rival business would be cool...maybe another rare lady that loves tea like her or someone that does amazing things with coffee!ヾ(☆▽☆)
Oooh yeah. And like imagine if someone showed up who liked Tea as much as she did so she had so much fun talking to them because they're the only who truly gets her and so bonds with them and Alphonse gets jealous ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
You know that's the making of a great chapter or chapters because 1 in this world it's already funny that 1800-1900 century European like society doesn't know how to enjoy tea but I don't anyone is at Chloe's level of tea love even if tea was popular and 2 Alphonse getting jeally always ends up with interesting scenarios so I could imagine he'd try to distract her as much as he could if she got a tea bestie that speaks to her soul! My favorite of Al's jeally scenes is when he buys a whole men only coffee cafe just because his wife wasn't allowed entry that was so good!(￣∇￣")
Alphonse should just be up front and talk about the contract and terminate it so that they can do things freely as they please without restrictions or at least change it idk. He should tell her his feelings. Also I think it's time Chloe gets a rival business so we can spice things up
