Surprisingly, we end up just straight up skipping the front entrance and flying through so entrance that opens up in the side of the building, revealing a secret garage. Likely one ant for rich people.
The driver finds a place to drop us off before moving off to go find a parking spot where if Denise is to be believed he will sit and wait for us until were done with our business here.
Man, the rich life sounds very relaxing. Maybe I can reach that point so day?
Just imagining having a personal driver and limo to take to fancy malls in a tier 1 city sounds like a very nice life.
Well, if I actually had interest in going to malls outside of buying video gas, that is.
Anyways, so guide takes us and begins guiding us into the mall all while being very, very polite to us. As if walking on eggshells.
Then again, not just anyone can beco the headmaster of a Guardians University. And Denises father is one of them, not to ntion the fact that the other two here have Astra a Class V Guardian as their mother. A woman who I happen to know is one of the richest people on the planet.
We continue walking through the inner areas of the mall until we reach a balcony overlooking what looks to be the main thoroughfare of the place. A massive room with an enormous water fountain at the center of it, along with an ice rink next to that, and who knows how many stores lining the walls. There are also escalators leading to a second floor which branches off away from the main area and heads towards what looks to be an even fancier looking place, with fewer but on average more expensively clothed people. Likely so sort of VIP area of the mall.
Which ans were in the VIP of the VIP areas? Or sothing like that.
I also cant help but notice the various glances being sent our way by everyone we pass by that isnt working for the store the workers themselves being disciplined enough to know not to do that. And there are at this point more glances towards my ears than I can count, making feel rather uncomfortable.
Can I please go back to the base now?
Eventually we manage to make it to an array of very expensive looking stores. Each with price ranges far, far beyond anything I couldve ever hoped to afford even with years of savings back at Rothwell. And a lot of these places are clothing stores, so for n, more for won. But there are also a lot of video ga stores, technology stores, and even so weapons stores that Im pretty sure shouldnt be legal.
Then again, this is the VIP of VIP areas. Which is also the only reason no one has approached us yet despite us being Guardians. Because everyone here must be just as rich as Denise. Not to ntion that I see several other Guardians scattered around the place. Although I dont recognize any of them.
One thing I do recognize though is that so of them are wearing Lions Hearts uniform, and all of them are around the sa age as us, give or take a couple years.
Are they all students?
My thoughts are redirected towards our guide when she stops leading us in the center of the stores and begins to talk like a tour guide, giving us a rundown of all the types of stores and their locations before asking us where we would like to go first. To which Denise imdiately answers with clothing stores.
I almost facepalm at that.
And Im pretty sure I hear Michael groaning, but it mightve just been my imagination.
Almost imdiately after the call I switched back to my blood lycan ears, but I really do regret it in so ways. Considering the conversations Im overhearing, particularly about the new Guardian with wolf ears being here. And how many of them are sharing that bit of information along with pictures of on social dia.
Denise proceeds to drag us into an expensive looking store which seems to sell both male and female garnts of all sorts. Many of which are more expensive than the entire outfit I have on right now. And then she imdiately drags us to the wons section, making Michael blush in the process for so reason, before going over to look at blouses.
Guess she really likes blouses?
My eyes start to widen when she begins picking out different outfits yes, outfits, not single pieces of clothing and asks the guide where the carts are, where the guide then brings Michael to it before he rolls it over, a look of defeat on his face.
Well, guess he isnt carrying the bags after all. Hes carting them around.
Better him than .
Denise continues dragging us around the store for a while before it becos Emilys turn, and she takes us straight to a video ga store where she browses through all the new gas. And this ti I am actually a little bit interested, since these are all the newer gas from the best companies. So I begin browsing myself a little bit under Denises amused but conflicted glance.
Guessing she feels conflicted about being interested in gas but not clothes?
Doesnt matter.
In the end I end up buying one ga in particular that I had had my eye on a while back but could never even hope to afford. But now I can thanks to the paycheck I just got yesterday.
After that, we begin to go to a won focused clothing store and Michaels face turns beet red at so of the things inside of it. And he does actually try to leave a couple tis to wait outside, but Denise and Emily both snub that idea on account of not having anyone to push the cart.
I think I pity him, I hear Tar mutter in my mind, apparently paying attention to the guys struggle.
Ive seen Artoria shes one of Belles friends that ca with her to the orphanage from ti to ti to visit and beca friends with so of us drag around her boyfriend while shopping with and Belle once. So this isnt really anything new to . Although at the ti I was just hoping to get ho as quickly as possible to study and then play so gas.
Brutal, Tar mutters before going silent again.
Maybe. But its his plight, not mine. And Im gonna leave it at that.
Eventually both Emily and Denise turn to with a suspicious look in their eyes that has stepping back one step with a frown on my face. But just a mont later, a shattering sound echoes all around us, following which the air gains a very faint red tint to it, signifying a Fracture opening up here.
Wow. Two tis in just as many weeks that I end up caught up in a Fracture in this city.
At least I dont have to deal with whatever theyre plotting.
