147 Who's That Guy?!

Was there anything more banal than the sight of a shopping mall in a modern city? 

- Way too big so people could stroll to their heart's content. 

- Filled with happy shoppers, some followed by their personal U-Bot slave. 

- Way too flashy with holograms greeting and advertising in one breath as if rappers. 

- Filled with countless shops selling expensive things people didn't really need but bought anyway. 

There really wasn't anything more mundane than that. Hell, it had been like that for as far as anyone could remember! 

Yet, there was something phenomenal happening in the parking lot of the <Happy Shopping Promenade>! 

A young woman stood still, pointing at the shopping mall with horror in her beautiful amethyst eyes. 

"No way we're going there! Don't you remember?! Window shopping without buying is illegal! Even snacks there cost a few credits!" Lilly exclaimed. 

"I know." Jack calmly nodded.
