Nostalgia

Yuuki was in the lobby of the hotel waiting for both Kiyoshi and Kodama. Both of them were being assigned by Todome to help him tour around town. He didn't really have a reason to reject them and be accepted right away. He didn't know the right place to buy souvenirs.

Yuuki was waiting for them until his phone rang. He looked at who it was and smiled.

[Hey, how is it there?] Yuuki smiled, hearing her voice.

[It's bad, I can't see your legs, I miss you already], Yuuki said.

[Hmph, it's good that you can still be joking around], Utaha said.

[Well, it isn't as bad as I thought], Yuuki was talking to Utaha and noticed that both Kiyoshi and Kodama came. He nodded at them and told them to wait. He still wanted to call Utaha more, yesterday was just too much for him. He was hoping nothing would happen today.

[I'll bring you a lot of souvenirs later], Yuuki said.

[Well, I don't care about that as long as you're coming back safely], Utaha said.

[Yeah, your man is tough, don't worry about it], Yuuki smiled.

[Hmph, I love you], Utaha said softly.

[I love you too], Yuuki said while closing his phone, "Let's go bring me to buy some souvenirs," He looked at both Kiyoshi and Kodama.

"Are you done talking with your girlfriend?" Kiyoshi said while smiling.

"Sigh, I still miss her though," Yuuki shook his head.

"Well, don't worry, there are a lot of beautiful girls here !" Kiyoshi said while smiling.

Yuuki looked at him and nodded, he didn't mind some fun in Dubai.

"That's right, I don't know if you like this or not," Yuuki took something from his pocket.

"MERI MERI!!" Kodama drooled looking at the ice cream in Yuuki's hand.

"Here," Yuuki gave them.

"Wow, it's nostalgic," Kiyoshi said while eating Meri Meri.

"DELICIOUS!!" Kodama was really happy to eat it.

Yuuki nodded, Yuuki remembered the meeting between Kodama and Kiyoshi was because of this Meri Meri. He created it using his 'Arc of Embodiment' with this magic it could create anything in his mind to reality.

Meri meri is a famous ice cream in Japan. It is very popular among students because it's cheap and tasty.

Yuuki remembered last night, when he created a gun with this magic. He could create something more advanced using his magic but something normal was enough. It wasn't like he was going to fight something like a robot or an advanced army.

"Here, I'll give you more," Yuuki gave Kodama more Meri Meri.

"Hahaha, thank you, Yuuki!" Kodama ate meri meri happily.

"How did you get Meri Meri that much?" Kiyoshi looked at Yuuki weirdly.

Yuuki smiled and said, "It's magic."

Kiyoshi twitched his lips and Kodama had stars in his eyes.

They went to the nearest store and bought some souvenirs. Yuuki brought the famous camel milk chocolate and dates Dubai. He was sure that Kuina would be happy with this gift.

Camel milk chocolate is a true home-grown delicacy in Dubai. It is manufactured by just one company, Al Nassma. These products used to be exclusively available in Dubai.

Al Nassma camel milk chocolate bars come in five varieties: whole milk, 70% cocoa, dates, macadamia, and spiced (Arabia). There are also camel-shaped chocolates that are perfect as quirky souvenirs.

Dates are a sweet part of Middle Eastern culture. It plays a prominent role during Ramadan, where it is given as gifts and eaten at the end of the fast. There are over 20 varieties of dates.

Yuuki bought them all and went to buy other things such as clothes, shisha pipe, and Dubai spices. He also bought both oudh and bakhoor.

Oudh is an expensive fragrance oil derived from agarwood resin. This mesmerizing scent gift is available in forms of pure oil, mixed with oil from Oudh and other floral oils like rose and jasmine, and oudh fragrance perfume (Ajmal and Ne'emah).

Bakhoor, on the other hand, is a term for agarwood chips that are burned to produce an aroma that permeates the entire room. It is a good alternative to candles and incense.

"Can you bring this to the hotel?" Yuuki said while giving Kiyoshi and Kodama a lot of things.

"Well, I can do that," Kiyoshi nodded.

"Thank you," Yuuki said.

"Don't worry about it, I've a lot of people who are more troublesome than you," Kiyoshi smiled.

Yuuki was intrigued, "Kiyoshi-san, you're from Japanese right?"

Kiyoshi nodded, "Yeah, both me and Kodama are from Japan."

"Where is your high school if you don't mind me knowing, maybe you're my senpai," Yuuki asked.

Kiyoshi thought for a while, "Hmm, maybe we're not, I'm from Chiba after all."

"Chiba?" Yuuki titled his head.

"Yeah, we're from Suzuran High School there," Kiyoshi said while smiling.

Yuuki frowned, "Hey? That famous Suzuran high school?" He remembered that it was a famous high school movie 'Crows Zero'. He never thought that there was that kind of high school.

"Hahaha, you know it? That's right, that day both me and Kodama were the boss there," Kiyoshi started telling him about his story in high school.

Kodama was also joining to tell him about his high school life, though he only told him about fighting and food.

Yuuki was satisfied with his souvernirs until he received a quest from the system.

[Quest: Save Koko Hekmatyar from the orchestra].

[Reward: System lottery 3x]

[System tips - Koko Hekmatyar is an arms dealer and has a good heart. She wants to stop the war around the world with her plan. You need to save her from being killed by the famous killer organization The Orchestra.]

Yuuki twitched his lips when he read the quest. He knew that his stay in Dubai wouldn't be in peace.
