[Eve's POV]
Today is Saturday, and I'm currently outside the Lunar academy.
To be specific, I'm in a place called [Xenia].
The na of this place is nad after its original and first owner, but she's already dead so who cares...
Anyway, [Xenia] is a famous shopping centre, you can find various kind of artifacts, herbs, weapons, armors, and other else being sold in here.
And this building is huge...
Looking at it from the outside, it's about half the size of the academy, and this shopping centre have 5 floors.
Obviously, there's a lot of people here, so it's noisy as hell.
And almost everything in this place is white, it does look clean, but it's too bright.
'It's annoying...'
Also, I didn't ca alone in this noisy, bright, and crowded place.
"Eve, where should we go?"
Adelle, who's with , asked .
Yes, I ca with her.
And not just her, Aoi, Alec, Blake, and Curtis are also with us.
As to why we're here, it's because in Monday, and the others will use our special permission to enter one Lunar's private dungeons.
So we're preparing things we might need as we're planning to stay inside the dungeon for a week...
Anyway, our group is attracting a lot of unnecessary attention from the other shoppers.
Though, I ignored them and just answered Adelle's question.
"I don't know, I don't go to places like this that often."
I stated to her.
"We're the sa huh."
And Adelle responded before looking at Aoi.
And sensing Adelle's gaze at her, Aoi shook her head.
"I'm the sa as you guys, my parents always buy all the things I need to use anyway."
Then she said.
Anyway, I looked at Alec.
And he sure look nervous, it seems like it's his first ti coming to this kind of place.
'He looks like a bunny...'
I thought.
And on the other hand, Curtis is just curiously looking around.
I'm pretty sure he's the sa as , Adelle, and Aoi who are not familiar to this kind of place.
Curtis doesn't like places with too many people after all.
And the reason, I don't know... And I don't really care that much.
Anyway, I looked back at Aoi and Adelle.
They're talking to each other, it seems like the two of them are figuring out where we should.
Then I suddenly glanced at Blake.
And I'm quite surprised to see that unlike us...
Blake is really calm, it also appears that he know sothing about this place...
"Blake?"
I called him.
"Hm? Oh, what is it?"
Blake looked at and asked.
Then without beating around the bush.
"Did you already went here before?"
I asked him.
And at my question, Blake nodded his head with a smile as a response.
"I've been here for many tis now."
Then he declared.
"I buy my potions here after all."
Blake added.
Adelle and the others looked at him.
And when everyone's eyes are on him, Blake smiled confidently.
"I think we should start looking at the fourth floor, the items there are good in quality and they're pretty affordable."
Then he proudly said.
***
After that, based on Blake's suggestion, we headed to the 4th floor.
And Blake's words are only half true to be honest.
The quality of the items being sold in the 4th floor are really good.
But they're expensive as fuck, I don't know why Blake said they're affordable...
Anyway, we started shopping around.
We also checked the other floors.
But it does seems like the shops in the 4th floor are a lot better than the other floors.
So with that, we continued shopping for hours.
Until the ti hit 3:00 PM...
***
"I'm getting hungry."
Adelle then suddenly mumbled.
" too..."
And Alec followed.
Then after that, they both looked at Blake.
"Hey, guide us next where we can eat..."
Adelle said to Blake.
I'm also getting hungry too, and it seems like that's the sa for the others too.
So we looked at Blake too, waiting for his answer.
Blake imdiately caught on what we were thinking, so he nodded his head.
"Let's go to the second floor, there's a food court there and the food stalls there are the best."
Then he said.
"Yes!"
"Nice."
Adelle and Alec imdiately responded.
And after that, Blake guided us to the food court in the 2nd floor that he ntioned.
It didn't take us long to reach our destination, and as soon as we did...
We all imdiately bought our food and started eating.
...
...
"Thanks for the al."
Alec muttered after he finished eating his 2nd portion of food.
"That was nice..."
And Adelle mumbled, she just finished eating her 3rd food...
"Anyway, do we still have sothing to buy?"
Then Curtis suddenly asked, he's still eating his fried storm hawk, and it's actually his 4th ti buying it now.
"I think we already bought everything on the list."
Aoi replied to Curtis, she finished eating first before all of us as she didn't order much to begin with.
"Then we can go ho now?"
Then I joined the conversation, I finished eating earlier, after Aoi.
"Let's just take a short rest first."
Blake suggested to us.
"Well, I don't really mind."
And I replied to him.
I don't feel like going back in the academy after all.
And after a while...
"Anyway, shopping with you guys is really fun!"
Adelle declared!
Our attention shifted to her.
"Yeah, I had fun too."
Then Alec responded to her.
" too, it was a nice experience."
And Aoi shyly agreed to them both.
"Well, at least it's better than doing it alone."
After that, Curtis followed.
And I kinda agree to his statent so I nodded my head as a response.
But then...
"Too bad Raven couldn't co with us."
Blake suddenly ntioned Raven!
"Well, he said he's busy."
"Maybe he's training really hard huh."
And Alec and Adelle respectively said with a bit gloomy voice!
"He's a freak if he's still training."
"Maybe he's just preparing to enter the dungeon separately."
Rhen Curtis and Aoi followed!
And seeing the weird atmosphere around us, I frowned.
We actually invited Raven to co with us today, but he declined, saying that he already have a plan for the day.
But he recomnded us things we should buy.
And we followed his recomndation because they seem reasonable enough.
Anyway, honestly speaking, I don't really care if Raven ca with us or not today.
But it's annoying seeing the atmosphere being like this right after I finished eating and currently resting.
So, I opened my mouth....
"We could just buy sothing for him if you guys want."
Then I suggested.
I don't really have anything against Raven, he's just annoying from ti to ti, and what I an by that, is almost everyti.
But when he's being quiet, I would even sit beside him to avoid disturbance.
No one interfere to what Raven is doing in the classroom after all.
But , Alec and the others still get approached by others because they think we're more approachable than Raven.
Anyway...
"Oh, that's a good idea, Eve!"
"Yeah, a gift would work!"
"But what does Raven want in the first place?"
"A condom, probably."
"Shut up Curtis."
At my suggestion, the others regained their energy.
And that's enough for so I didn't join their conversation about what to buy for Raven.
"Wow, they look good..."
"Are they celebrities?"
"Do you think they'll mind if we ask them for pictures?"
But then, I started hearing people whispering among themselves.
And hearing their words, I frowned and prepared myself for the worst.
Also, it seems like I wasn't not the only one who heard them as Alec and the others shut up too, they beca a bit serious too...
And with that, we remained still in our place, waiting for soone to approach us and decline whatever their offer is.
By doing that, the others wouldn't go near us anymore.
We thought of this strategy weeks ago in the academy because so many students keep approaching us.
Anyway, that's what we did.
But after so ti passed...
No one approached us nor even planned to.
And I also noticed that the gazes we're receiving are getting lower and lower!
, Alec, and the others are confused at what's happening.
So we looked around...
And that's when we saw a group of people few tens of ters away from us.
They all got their backs against us...
"What are they doing?"
Blake asked.
"I don't know, but it seems like they're looking at sothing."
Then Adelle replied.
We're glad that people's attention got shifted away from us, so it's not gonna be troubleso.
But we beca curious at what people are on about.
So and the others looked at each other, then we nodded our heads and stood up from our seats.
And after that, we approached whatever the others are looking at.
And then we saw what caught their attentions.. .
It was a handso and tall man!
He have a shiny black hair and sharp black eyes, his nose is pointed and his lips are pinkish.
he also have a well-built body.
And he's a person and the others are familiar with!
"Raven?"
Then Alec suddenly mumbled.
That's right, it was Raven!
"Huh, big brother, soone called your na."
And in Raven's arms was a cute little girl with a similar hair and eyes color to him!
