Gundham's POV:

"Can we do anything else other than fuckin' clothes shopping?!"

We had been to only 2 stores at the mall. Both of them clothes shops. Fuyuhiko was already frustrated. Now before we knew it, both him and Mahiru were arguing. "We've only gone to two! You're so impatient, Fuyuhiko!" Mahiru exclaimed. "I mean he kinda has a good point when he mentioned the fact that the boys are carrying the stuff for us." Akane pointed out. "You're right. It's unfair." Mahiru sighed in defeat. "How about we go to another store that does not have clothes?"

"Okay, sure. Any ideas?" Y/N asked, recovering from all the violent shouting. "I saw a weapon store earlier." Peko said. "How about that?" Kazuichi slowly nodded, gulping. I heard him mumble, "They have a weapon store?!" We all ignored him. I said, "Let's go then." We all followed Peko, who remembered exactly where it was. Fuyuhiko entered the store, Peko close behind. I slowly followed with the others behind me. We were browsing swords and guns when it appeared that Sonia noticed somebody familiar.

Then I realized. It was Mukuro Ikusaba. "Can we go talk to Mukuro? I see her over there." Sonia asked. "Sure." Kazuichi replied politely. "Hey soldier girl!" Akane cheered, making the freckled girl turn around. "Oh hello, everyone." She greeted, walking over to us. "What are you guys doing here?"

"We're just having fun shopping. What about you?" Mahiru asked. "I'm going back to war in a couple weeks, so I'm just going to bring some powerful weapons." The group of us we're quite taken aback by the answer. "Really?!" Kazuichi exclaimed. Mukuro nodded. "Oh, wow! Well I-I think that you can survive. You're the Ultimate Soldier after all, r-right?" Y/N muttered shyly. I admit, the stutter was quite cute.

My Four Dark Devas of Destruction peered out of my scarf. They must have finished their rest. As the group talked, I looked at Jum-P. He appeared to be healthy. Looks like he has recovered. I got the bandaging off of the Dark Deva of Destruction and went over to a nearby trash bin, dropping the bandaging into it before heading back to the group. "So Mukuro, is Junko here in the mall by any chance?" Peko asked curiously.

"Yes, she is. She's shopping in the clothes stores upstairs on the second floor. Any reason why you ask?" Mukuro replied. Peko shook her head. "No, I just wanted to ask." Mukuro nodded, mumbling, "Well I should get going now. I will see you all later." Then we were about to leave the store when Fuyihiko spoke up. "Hold on. I need to buy something that I forgot to get." We nodded and waited for him outside of the store.

After a minute, he came out with a pocket knife. Shaking, Kazuichi hands Fuyuhiko the bags of clothing from the clothes stores so Fuyuhiko can put the weapon into the bag. Fuyuhiko puts it in and Kazuichi snatches it away. Fuyuhiko gives him a small stare before the silence is interrupted by Akane. "Hey, can we go to the food court? I'm hungry."

"Sure, Akane. I do feel quite hungry myself. What about you guys?" Sonia asked. "I'm not hungry, but if you want to go to the food court we can, Mrs. Sonia." Kazuichi replied, to which Sonia ignored. "Sounds fine with me." Mahiru said. "I wouldn't mind." Y/N mumbled. "Alright. What do you think, young master?" Peko asked to Fuyuhiko. "Stop calling me that! And... sure, I guess."

"Well let's go then." I said. The others nodded and immediately, Akane dashed up the stairs. "Wait, Akane! The food court is here! Downstairs!" Mahiru exclaimed, but Akane was already gone. "I'll go get her." Muttered Peko calmly before running after the girl. After a minute or two, Peko came back with Akane. "You guys shoulda told me the food court is on the first floor!"

Nobody replied we silently headed to the food court. We all stopped near the tables in the food court. "How about the girls and boys sit at different tables? So all girls at one table, all boys at another table." Mahiru decided. "Sure." Y/N replied. "Can I be at the girls table and sit next to Mrs. Sonia?" Kazuichi asked. "No, pest!" Sonia exclaimed. "P-Pest?!" Kazuichi stuttered. Fuyuhiko facepalmed. "Let's just go get our food and drinks! I'm starving!" Akane shouted impatiently.

Everyone nodded and we split into our boy and girl groups. I went over to Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi. "Let's go get out food. What do you guys want to order from?" I asked. "I'd like some ramen." Kazuichi replied. "What's ramen?" I asked. "It's basically Japanese noodle soup." He explained. "I suppose I could try some of that." I mumbled. "I'm going to order at the restaurant over there." Fuyuhiko said, point over to the right side of the food court. We nodded before Fuyuhiko headed to said side. Both me and Kazuichi went over to the ramen restaurant. Eventually, Kazuichi finished his order and I was about speak when someone screamed...

"I DO NOT WANT MILK! I AM LACTOSE INTOLERANT!"

We looked across the food court to realize Fuyuhiko was the one that screamed. There was complete silence in the whole food court. I looked at Kazuichi and the worker at the front to see they were staring over, confused looks on their faces. I proceeded to scan the food court, seeing that everyone was staring at Fuyuhiko now, including Y/N and the other girls with her.

Fuyuhiko looked around and realized. It looked like he was about to open his mouth to scream at all of us for staring at him but he caught his tongue and stayed silent. He slowly looked back at the horrified person at the counter and continued to casually order, which calmed the worker at the counter a little. Everyone slowly looked away and continued what they were doing. "変だった...とにかく、普通のラーメンを頂けますか?" I awkwardly asked. The worker didn't understand English, so I had to speak Japanese.

(Translation for the Japanese writing: "That was odd... anyways, may I please have some regular ramen?")
(Also just to clarify I used Google Translate for that. I don't actually know Japanese. I copy and pasted the translation.)

A bit later, the three of us found a table near the girls and sat there. We had finished our food when we heard a familiar voice.
