The constant chatter of people could be heard at all times as the group made their way past all the colorful stores under the open roof. 

A peddler in front of a store called out to the UA students, "Hey kids, we have a unique apparel for all of you! Six arms? Got it. Giant motor calves? Easy. Duck head? We got you covered!"

Sasuke glared at him as they continued walking. Some of the students snickered. Some younger kids approached them, "Yo check it out! Aren't those the guys from the Sports Festival? Yoooo."

Uraraka looked over her shoulder at them, "There are people who still remember us?"

Jiro turned to Momo, "For now, I need a big carrying bag."

"Why don't we look for one together then?"

Kaminari said, "I don't have any outdoor shoes, so I'm gonna go get some."

Hagekure replied, "Me too!"

Iida stepped in, "The guide said to only get what you're accustomed to!... But maybe it would be best to choose something with the most utility..."

Kirishima stated, "It looks like we all have different things we're looking for, so why don't we split up?"

Mina smiled deviously and put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder, "Hey, Sasuke! I need help picking out clothes! You can get some too, come with me."

Clothes? I have enough al—" Mina grabbed his hand and dragged him away, leaving Midoriya and Uraraka alone.

"What kind of clothes did you need anyway?"

Mina put a hand under her chin, "Hmmm, I have enough shirts and shorts already. How about this place?" she smiled and pointed up at a store named: Victoria's Secret.

Sasuke's eyes went wide and his cheeks turned red, "W-wait a minute you don't need me in here! I can't help you with this!"

"Really? Hm, oh c'mon with how popular you are with girls I bet you've been to one of these at least a couple of times."

"No. I never entertained any of those girls."

Mina smiled and thought, 'For some reason, I'm happy you didn't.' "Well, I'll be your first then! Come on!"

She pulled him into the store and started searching around, frequently looking back at Sasuke. Sasuke had his hands in his pockets and kept slightly fidgeting around, looking around the store casually with a cool expression while his cheeks glowed. Mina covered her smile and squealed in her head, 'He's so bad at hiding it, it's adorable!'

She pulled out an underwear set from a rack and held it over herself. "Hey Sasuke, do you think this would fit me? Don't look away!"

Sasuke's mouth wavered and he glanced at Mina before darting his eyes away, "Yeah... You don't have a boyfriend you can do this stuff with?"

"No, that spot is pretty open." She looked off to the side outside the door.

Sasuke thought, 'It's open... Why did she say it like that? Saying it's open to me? Am I reading too much into this? Yeah.'

While Mina looked out the window she spotted Kaminari's spiky bright hair as he strolled alongside Iida and Hagakure. Mina tensed up and dropped the set on the floor, 'Ah! Oh no, I can't be seen here with Sasuke! They'll totally misunderstand this!' 

She grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him further into the store. "Huh? Is something wrong?"

"N-no nothing. I just saw something I really liked further in the store." She frantically looked back, 'No one saw us right? No, I don't think so. Phew, can't have them thinking he's my boyfriend or something.'
