See? The mall isn't so bad.
- Seraphina to John
Synopsis[]
The sleepy John answers a call from Seraphina. She asks him to make a trip to Kovoro Mall with her. Wanting to avoid such a boring activity, John tries to decline by saying his house needs to be cleaned. He claims it'll take him the whole day. Seraphina points out that such concerns would be a thing of the past if he would just move into the Boys Dorms at school. He fires back that he'd rather worry about messes than dying. John thinks he's off the hook when Seraphina agrees, but then hears a knock on his front door. It dawns on him that she is on the other side. He throws on some clothes and opens the door for her. She chastises him for the glum look on his face and offers to help him clean. She enters the spotless, perfectly neat house. The only thing out of place were a pair of discarded gloves on the floor. She picks them up and places them on his table next to a book, cheerily stating that their grueling chore is now behind them. Grudgingly, he agrees to go on a shopping run, on the grounds that it's a quick one.
They reach the mall and shop at a boutique. John finds a goofy-looking shirt he's interested in, thinking it's got French printed on it. Seraphina informs him that it doesn't say "LA MÉ", but "LAME". Regardless, he still wants to try it on. When he emerges from the fitting room, Seraphina thinks to herself that it actually doesn't look too bad.
As they leave, John spots a small crowd gathering at an Ability Gauge booth and tries to convince his friend to give it a try. She refuses at first, believing such locations are just scams. But John convinces her to have a bit of fun trying anyway. In front of them in the queue, Levani is demanding a refund from the booth operator for ranking her ability as a 4.0. Trying to placate her, he explains that she is above average in terms of power as in the Standard Gauging System, 3.0 is average and 5.0 and above is high-tier. However, she is still furious and tells him to refund her money or she will blow up his booth. John is unsettled by the drama of it all.
