I was still debating on whether I should go to get some new clothes. Yes, that should be a good idea. But I have no money. Mei Mei does. While I don't approve of thievery, I also have no respect for Mei Mei, so no harm. I walked out of my room and took her wallet, and that's when I heard footsteps, I turned around to see Ui Ui

"Yes, child?"Ui Ui What're you doing?"Taking money to get new clothing"Ui Ui But that's big sis's money"Yes, but I did her a favor by not killing her

"Yes, child?"
Ui Ui What're you doing?
"Taking money to get new clothing"
Ui Ui But that's big sis's money
"Yes, but I did her a favor by not killing her. So she owes me, thus, I'm using it"
Ui Ui Oh. Can I come with you?
"Why would you want to come with me?"
Ui Ui I want to get out, I don't go out much unless it's for a mission. A-also you could use a perspective from someone of the modern time
"Hmm, alright"

His eyes lit up and he called some long self-moving carriage to take us to a building?

"What is this?"
Ui Ui A mall
"What in the hell is a mall?"
Ui Ui A mix of stores with some food stands
"Hmm like a market place"
Ui Ui I guess?

We walked into this mall, it was swarming with people. Their fashion was... strange? None of them were wearing haori or kimono. Sad. As we walked around, I noticed a store. I began walking around until I found a pair of pants and a top

I looked to Ui Ui, holding up the outfit

"What do you think, young one?"
Ui Ui I think it looks good. It makes you look strong
"Perfect, now where do we pay?"
Ui Ui Just follow me

He led me to an area known as the register, I handed the woman my clothing and she handed it back, thus I handed her three yen pieces, and she handed me one other yen piece and some coins. We walked away but I was confused

"Why did she hand me money? I just paid for the clothes. Is she- does she pity me?!"

I turned around, ready to beat the woman. But Ui Ui grabbed my hand

Ui Ui No! No! It's called change! Stores give it to you when you pay more than what's needed
"Change? This era couldn't even come up with a new word for this concept. This world is disappointing but promising"
Ui Ui Why're you complaining? The modern era is way better than some primal Heian Era
"Child, this era may be advanced, but it lacks the heart of the Heian Era. Sorcerors from all across the land would fight for one reason, just to see the full extent of their abilities. It was a world where everyone knew their purpose. But I guess I miss my husband"
Ui Ui You had a husband?
"Yes, Uraume was his name. He was the most adorable thing and made amazing food. I still remember the day I lost him..."
Ui Ui Oh... do you think he'll appear sometime?
"Maybe... but this doesn't concern you, little one. Take us home"
Ui Ui Yes ma'am
