It's all one flower.

765. Examine commerce

The free shuttle bus stopped at a commercial facility that connected several huge buildings.

The city of Zerneau, where Rourke was born and raised, is only halfway through the recovery from half a century of civil unrest, dotted with small shopping districts in each district. There is no such huge shopping mall.

I didn't see anything like this, even in the city of Rachika on the island of Nemoralis, or in the King's capital Lacrimaris or the capital Cravel, which just passed.

Guests off the bus are sucked one after the other into a glazed arcade.

"Let's go"

Skinum prompted me, and Roark also rode the flow of people.

Check the garment store on the information board as soon as you enter. Apparently this shopping mall is much larger than the grounds of the Luffs seminary.

Three whole buildings are clothes shops. The floor was divided by consumer gender and age group and application. They say each floor is tightly packed with small specialty stores and the assortment is subdivided.

Roark himself is oblivious to fashion and uninterested.

My mother and Belyoza somehow chose it as an industrial guide because they talk about clothes every time they face each other, but Roark began to regret it sooner rather than later. It was accompanied by a chat and only a little bit of knowledge saved it.

... Can this all go around in one day?

"Let's take a look from the top"

Skinum regained his energy when he was alone with Roark and led him to the elevator hall. Roark follows with a brochure from the mall in his hand.

Baby clothing, children's clothing, sportswear, high class men's clothing, casual for young people, floors of small items such as shoes and bags, purses, high class women's clothing, casual for young daughters, business, office casual… Look around the tags and enter the material and country of origin name in the notebook on your tablet device.

As I thought, there was not a single piece of spell-filled clothing.

Looking around, the guests, who defined the fashionable clothes, were swollen with winter products that had not undergone any magic.

Until now I have listened to my mother and fiancée to the tequila, and the day they accompanied me in shopping I was bored and had no choice, but the clothing store I see with the intention of investigating voluntarily looked like a different world, minus being foreign.

Artel's domestic products and imports from countries of scientific civilization on the Alton Gaza continent, such as the Barbatum Federation, are about three to seven.

There are many products of chemical fiber. Casual, especially for young people, had a high proportion of sculpting fibres for both men and women. High class brands are expensive, even for sculpting fibers.

Natural fibre products, such as cashmere and wool, are almost imported and expensive. Even with the same natural fiber, the silk products of the Nippon Empire were expensive enough for eyeballs to pop up, and that of Geodorm was relatively inexpensive.

"I'm not really familiar with it either... Well, it seems like there are a lot of different quality and design"

I'm sorry if Skinum is sick of not being of use to Roark.

... Wow... Heavy!

If you're just going to use it, just let Skinum look into it, but my feelings are shifting in the last three weeks. Roark lost sight of what he had said and turned away from his squeaky face.

The store clock catches my eye.

It was completely past noon, but not as late as Roark thought.

Of the three fashion buildings, one went around all the stores from the top floor to the second floor, but the items examined were two or three points across the aisle of each store. The sample count is small, but my legs were crumpled.

The ground floor is a cosmetics store, so it's crazy for two guys to go.

... Let's do this today.

"This is already such a time... Skinum, you must be tired too, right? What do you want to do for lunch?

"Ah... excuse me. I didn't realize. What would you like to eat?

"I got you on my errands, so go ahead and give me what you like"

"Uh... so... shall we go to the nearest store?

Move to the food and beverage building next door connected in the crossing.

This floor was a whole food coat. Busy with family, couples, groups of friends, etc., but seats are vacant because of past peak hours.

Buy a set at the hamburger shop closest to the crossing and settle into a nearby seat.

"Good luck. Thank you for showing me around."

"Yes, no...... sorry I can't be very helpful"

"I don't know anything, Skinum, so thanks to you, it was very helpful.... Do you come to this store often?

Skinum stopped his hand picking the fries and bowed.

"No, it's my first time. I... rarely go out, and even when I come, I usually go back before lunch..."

"Really? Until this hour, thank you."

"Yes, no... no... sorry"

... You're really just studying and training.

Other theological students seem to touch fashionable things year after year, but in their mouths, Skinum seems to be disgusted with them.

Even now, as soon as the in-store BGM changed, the expression became more rude.

Roark listens to BGM with honors frowning as he eats a double cheeseburger.

Be careful and clear your ears, Nori's good pop-toned melody was a song Roark knew. The girls sing the hymn "The Goer of the Sacred Star Mark", which they just sang in the chapel this morning.

Drink down the contents of your mouth and talk to a regular honor student.

"Ah... this song..."

"It's careless to add a secular and nasty arrangement to a psalm,"

Roark was frightened by his emotionless voice.

Skinum doesn't realize, he spits his daily depression all over here.

"I don't understand why such a vulgar thing is so popular. They play concerts in the Federation of Barbatum and other countries, and they have fans in foreign countries, but I don't know."

"Not just Artel, but also the Alton Gaza continent, is it well received by the masses?

Roark did not affirm or deny, he just uttered doubt, but Skinum apparently regarded it as a denial, engraving a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"... yes. It was originally a seven-member group, but the four of us denied our faith during the concert, declared our retirement, went missing... and thought they would dissolve it as it were, but the two of us left, we resumed our activities, and it became more popular than before."

...... hmm?... Oh this, are those the Cos in those videos?

No way, I can't say I watched the video of the retirement disturbance, and Roark made me tilt my neck.

Skinum takes the tablet terminal out of his coat pocket and shows the news, he says.

"Looks like he's working in a foreign country now."

"... you know more"

"For a time, it was all this news every day, and it was all over the subject in the classroom."

"You're calm now, aren't you?

"Now, the two remaining... we're splitting up into Serenos and Maires, and we're having a faction fight. Which is cute, by keeping it down..."

Roark laughed bitterly. There was nothing else.

As far as I know, Skinum is only reading quietly during his time off, but if he ever waves (fumbles) a hot valve at this rate, he'll float in the classroom.

The story I heard in the bathroom and the fact that my classmates stopped talking too much to Roark led to an even stronger connection.

If we were to teach Roark, who knows nothing, the existence of the "instant star daughter," he would also have thought that Skinum could be blamed at this rate.

The classmates must have been wanting to know which faction Roark, the international student, would be on.
