Shopping with a Side of Trouble Part 1/2

Kaga and Eri were being driven to a high-end shopping mall by their parents and since Kaga rarely goes out to shop or spend money she is not familiar with the area or even the mall that they are going to.

Eri who was also didn't know where they are going decided to ask, "Um, Daddy, where are we going?", she said as she poked her head in between the front seats of the car.

Ryu only smiled at the cuteness, "We're going to the one near Naruhata District and there you can explore with your big sister"

When Kaga heard this there was a sense of familiarity with the term 'Naruhata' but she couldn't quite put her finger on it so she just let it be.

After passing through a few traffic lights, they neared their destination and stopped at the entrance of the mall.

Both Eri and Kaga gave light pecks to their parents before getting out of the car, "Thanks for driving us, enjoy your time of relaxation~", Kaga said and waved them goodbye.

"Bye, Dear! Take care of your small sister and have fun and if there are any boys who approach you, you know what to do!", their mom said before the car started to move and head off into the distance.

The two being alone Kaga went and crouched down at Eri, "Eri, when we explore don't let go of my hand okay? I don't want you getting lost even though I can smell you", she gently reminded Eri as she didn't want her little sister to experience being lost.

"Um!", Eri being the good girl she is nodded to her big sister, and with that, she immediately reached for Kaga's hand not even fearing that she might harm her since she was currently wearing skin-like gloves that you wouldn't even feel.

As they walked into the mall the first thing that attracted them was a Crepe Store, Eri was immediately staring at it yet she didn't say anything, but this didn't go unnoticed by Kaga.

"Eri, if there is anything that you want just tell me okay? No need to be shy~", Eri hearing this immediately nodded in understanding and speedily pointed towards the Crepe Store.

*Ding* *Dong*

Opening the transparent glass door, it made a soft jingle to notify any employees present that a customer has walked in.

"Woah! It smells amazing!", Eri exclaimed with sparkling eyes to show that she is ready to devour everything inside the store.

Kaga only chuckled and carried her sister to help her choose the flavors she wanted, Eri was overwhelmed by the numerous flavors to pick from. Chocolate, fruits, nuts, ice creams to fill, and even sprinkles to top!

In the end, she chose a combination of ice-cream-filled crepe with a mix of fruits and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Kaga had a serving of Crepe that was the same as Eri's but the ice cream being matcha flavored.

When receiving their order, Eri was shocked to find the size of the crepe being half the size of her face, "Onee-chan look! It's so big", she excitedly showed to her sister.

Kaga was happy that her small sister was already happy right off the bat, "Indeed it is, now, let's eat or else it'll melt", as soon as she said that the little girl began to wolf down on her food, afraid that it'll melt.

*Click* x???

Kaga was immediately taking pictures of the Crepe eating Eri, and she too began eating on her crepe, 'Ahhh, the bitter-sweet from the matcha...best flavor', she thought.

After finishing their food, Kaga had to wipe the chocolate smudges present on Eri's lips, "Slow down next time, okay?", reminding her sister as she cleaned her off fearing that she might choke on her food in the future.

As she finished cleaning Eri, she immediately carried Eri and went to pay for their food with a Black and glossy Pink Sakura Flower Credit Card, 'Not falling for that cliche 'turn around and the child goes missing' BS', she thought.

Finishing to pay for their food, they left and went off to buy clothes for Eri, this time Eri was being carried since Kaga didn't want her 4-year-Old legs to get tired.

When the two started to roam around the mall they garnered a bit of attention since Kaga didn't look like a 12-year-old especially so with her height of 5'4, teens of different ages approached them...only to be frozen in by at their feet.

Finally finding the exclusive children's clothing brand that she saw on the internet, and once they stepped inside, she let go of Eri and brought her around the store to pick clothes.

Kaga first brought Eri to the section where it was littered with onesies, she asked what animals Eri liked and said that she liked dinosaurs, rabbits, and a unicorn.

Taking some time to look and search for Eri's chosen animals, but it seems someone thought of this differently. The employee walked up and said, "Excuse me, I think there are cheaper stores somewhere within the mall, considering it's been some time that you have been looking at the prices"

Kaga who heard this had an uncharacteristic look on her face, 'What type of cliche type of scenario is this?', she thought but immediately went on the aggressive.

"Oh, is that so? There are cheaper stores to buy from? Say...I'll ask you again, are you sure you want to question my financial status?", this time Kaga voiced it in a cold voice and with the addition of releasing cold air for effects.

"I-indeed, we do not have time for people like you, so I hope you would move along now", the employee who was shivering slightly said as if she was of higher status.

Kaga underestimated this one, for this one seems to be rather thick-headed, 'I don't want to be one of those people but it seems I have to', as she thought this she asked the person if she could see the supervisor of the store.

"Hmph! Do you want to complain? Very well, I shall bring you the Supervisor", she harrumphed and walked off, 'The supervisor will just let it slide as usual anyway', the employee thought.

Moments after, the arrogant employee came with her supervisor, "How may I help you?", she said with a 'smile'.

Kaga only sighed looking at this and showed her credit card that was styled in all black with a glossy pink sakura flower in the middle, "Do you recognize this credit card?", Kaga simply asked in a bored tone.

(Basically the Logo of the Sakura Empire from Azur Lane)

The arrogant employee who was watching this laughed, "HAHAHA, child why do you bri-PACK!!", before she could even finish what she was saying the supervisor slapped the employee right across the side of her head.

"D-dearest guest, w-we apologize for the rude employee we will compensate you with your purchase", the supervisor said in a nervous tone as today they kicked their feet against a mountain.

Kaga just stood there staring at the smacked employee and bowing supervisor, "Nevermind, if your store has poorly trained people then I can't expect much from the clothes...do expect a call from your main office though"

After finishing her statement she went and picked Eri up who was still roaming the store, "Sorry, Eri, but there's something wrong with their clothes so we'll check somewhere else, okay?"

Eri not knowing what happened simply nodded, 'If Onee-chan says there's something wrong, then there's something wrong!', she thought.

The supervisor watching them leave was distraught, 'No, no, no, no, of all people we ran into someone who has the highest level of importance in the Asakura Bank!', she was already planning to find a new job too.

After that short fiasco, Kaga decided to call her mom if she recommends any store to buy from, and she was advised to go to 'Enfants' which was actually on the same floor.

Following her Mom's advice, she came to find herself in the front of a lavishly decorated store, but the two siblings were surprised when a blonde man suddenly slid on the wooden floorings.

"Bonne journée! The Madame has called me to expect you, come!", he said in a weird french accent as it was mixed in with a Japanese one as well.

"I am Monsieur Aoyama, and I will be the one to take care of you two!", as he said that he immediately measured the sizes of our body, "For what occasion shall I prepare?"

He said as if suddenly measuring us was not weird, "Please, finish my younger sister's first, she needs sleeping apparel, everyday clothes, and outside wear too. And as for me one summer dress, only, we'll leave the design to you", I said of the things we came for.

"No problème! With my quirk to manipulate clothing material, your clothes will be done in an hour, so do explore for the meantime~", he said as he began to manipulate the fine rolls of cloth in his store.

'Aoyama...Aoyama...AOYAMA!', Kaga finally found out the reason for the French and Aoyama name, turns out he was Yuga Aoyama's father.

"Eri, why don't we continue our exploration while we wait for our clothes or would you like to rest first?", Kaga asked the opinion of her little sister.

"Umm, Onee-chan you must be tired after carrying me, let's rest first", Eri innocently said which she unknowingly killed Kaga with multiple imaginary arrows to the heart.

'ACK! Too much!', Kaga thought and just hugged her sister even though she wasn't the least bit tired due to her training with Uncle Enji, even if she didn't train, her physic as a Werebeast is not weak.

-One Hour Later And Getting Clothes-

.

The two girls could be seen walking out of the mall empty-handed since it's all in Kaga's handy storage space, but all of a sudden loud singing could be heard in the distance.

"HEY EVERYONE THANKS FOR COMING AGAIN TODAY~!!", Kaga heard it properly due to her ears but Eri couldn't so she was more curious to find out what was happening.

Carrying her little sister by the waist as she had a feeling they'll meet an illegal street concert performer, and when Eri was secured she jumped from where she stood and landed near a crowd.

"Oh wow, it's Pop Step! No wonder I felt that Naruhata was so familiar", Kaga exclaimed while also putting Eri on her shoulders so that she could see and watch the street performance.

Eri was quite excited with everyone raising their hands and the performer, Pop Step, floating everywhere with her flashy appearance.

"P-O-P SPARKLE, S-T-E-P!"

"SENDING YOU A HIP-HOP!"

After a bit, she began diving into the crowd and the crowd even chanted,

"DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!"

While diving she even began to shake the hands of her fans, even Eri's hand was shaken, which caused Eri to wave her hands in excitement.

'Her voice is a bit off, but her stage presence is amazing!', I thought honestly to myself but was immediately taken out of my thoughts with a shout that came from afar.

"V-VILLAINS!"

"HELP!"

"TASUKETE!"

The moment I heard that even if it was far away, I placed Eri in my storage space that was stopped in time so that she wouldn't witness anything nor would her day be soured.

(MC didn't warn the people here since it was pretty far, so no need for people to panic and calling for Heroes to come to their spot when there is none)
