Somewhere at U-KART CIRCUIT Tokyo Akiruno, Japan - 9.45am

Two cars drove past the U-Kart Circuit where amongst the four brached street, there is an underground tunnel which droves along road to Tōkyō Prefectural Rte 46. The two cars stop at the trsffic light of the four branched street. Haqimi looks at his rear view mirror and sees Hidayah, Husna, Aida, Syakila and Alisa all admiring the streets of Japan. "So, any ideas to where to go next? This your idea for bringing all of us here." says Arissa from the MindCom. As the traffic light turns to green, Haqimi started driving as he says, "Well, I was thinking of going to bring you guys to Ueno Park to take pics in the beginning, but since we're on our way there. How about we head to Akihabara to buy something there." Syakila turns to him quick upon mentioning Akihabara. "Isn't that where we could buy all of the Anime stuffs?!" she excitedly asks, where he replied, "Yeah, so what do you say? It's 50 minutes away to Akihabara." "That would be fun! Let's go there!" Hidayah agrees. "I second that, Kimi. I might found some cool console for playing games." says Azmil. The moment they entered the tunnel, Haqimi commented, "Alright, then. We'll find place to park the car for both and we'll walk around the place."

Akihabara, Taito City, Tokyo - 10.30am

After a 50-minute long journey and a few tolls passed, they have arrived at the designated area. They luckily managed to find a parking spots for two vehicles and they got out safely. they arrived at the designated at the center of the place and began discussing. "Okay, I have three Japanese credit cards in my stash. Each of them have 600,000 yen total in the account." said Haqimi. "600,000 yen?! That may be a lot of we convert it in Malaysian Ringgit!" Syarifah replied which Zulaikha nods in vouching her statement. "We'll separate into three groups. You guys can go whenever you want but don't get too overzealous on something that is way too expensive. Think through before buying it. Got it?" Haqimi explains as the rest responded in unison, "Yes, Dad." as the girls started laughing which left him smiling.

As planned, the team were split into three groups, the first group comprises Aida, Syakila, Alisa,  Husna, Arissa, Syarifah and Zulaikha went Radio-Kaikan, one of Akihabara's iconic landmarks, and features more than 30 stores selling electronics and other anime related goods. The second group consists of Azmil, Aqif, Abu Zar, Hidayah, and Rose decided to go to Super Potato that finds practically every game system ever produced along with a huge selection of used game cartridges, discs as well as game accessories, in which the girls were just following the boys at this point. And last and the very least, Haqimi went alone to the Mandarake that specializes in pre-owned goods, it is a good place to find rare manga, figurines, dolls, posters, CDs, toys and other types of manga-related goods.

They began their first venture. The first group became mesmerized by the myriads of mangas, novels, cosplay items and many more. The girls especially Syakila are very estatic to buy all of these goods. The second group first went to the Super Potato where a collection of retrogames are being displayed. They wnet to the first floor that hosts the store's Nintendo Famicom and Japanese home PC games (MSX 2, etc.), and the went to the second houses games that has more modern consoles: the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and other consoles and handheld games from that era. Meanwhile, Haqimi is right now casually walking around inside the Mandrake in search for any potential Gunpla kit that he wish to build to make a new hobby other than taking photos and reading novels.

"Holy shit! We've actually hit the goldmine, boys!" Aqif shouted telepathically which Hidayah teases, "With this much money, these guys could buy on all of them." "Aqif... Don't be wasteful." Haqimi strict Aqif which he replied, "Got it." Then suddenly, Alisa said something telepathically, "Crap, girls! We've been in Japan for too long! Una and Aida suppose to be working tonight!" "Eh, you're right! I completely forgot!" said Aida. "Aw, man!! I want to buy the figurine of me crush!!" Syakila exclaims. Then, Husna commented, "Wait, then we might miss going to Ueno Park." Haqimi immediately answered, "Don't worry about that. I just realized that most of us have online class tomorrow. So, we could go to Ueno Park tomorrw morning and then come back to Konakano to join the online class." "Wait, does that mean we could make it?" Alisa asks. Haqimi responds, "You girls could. But Meel, Aqif, and Abu might have class that morning." "Don't worry about us. Just go on ahead to Ueno Park on that morning with the girls." Abu Zar replied. "Don't try to date Rose while I'm gone, Kimi." Azmil threaten Haqimi, but he was obviously teasing him. "Who do you think I am? A harlot? Of course I won't." says Haqimi as he chuckles slightly.
