The Extra's Dominance

Saturday, 10:05 AM.

[Eve's POV]

Today is Saturday, and I'm currently outside the Lunar academy.

To be specific, I'm in a place called [Xenia].

The name of this place is named after its original and first owner, but she's already dead so who cares...

Anyway, [Xenia] is a famous shopping centre, you can find various kind of artifacts, herbs, weapons, armors, and other else being sold in here.

And this building is huge...

Looking at it from the outside, it's about half the size of the academy, and this shopping centre have 5 floors.

Obviously, there's a lot of people here, so it's noisy as hell.

And almost everything in this place is white, it does look clean, but it's too bright.

'It's annoying...'

Also, I didn't came alone in this noisy, bright, and crowded place.

"Eve, where should we go?"

Adelle, who's with me, asked me.

Yes, I came with her.

And not just her, Aoi, Alec, Blake, and Curtis are also with us.

As to why we're here, it's because in Monday, me and the others will use our special permission to enter one Lunar's private dungeons.

So we're preparing things we might need as we're planning to stay inside the dungeon for a week...

Anyway, our group is attracting a lot of unnecessary attention from the other shoppers.

Though, I ignored them and just answered Adelle's question.

"I don't know, I don't go to places like this that often."

I stated to her.

"We're the same huh."

And Adelle responded before looking at Aoi.

And sensing Adelle's gaze at her, Aoi shook her head.

"I'm the same as you guys, my parents always buy me all the things I need to use anyway."

Then she said.

Anyway, I looked at Alec.

And he sure look nervous, it seems like it's his first time coming to this kind of place.

'He looks like a bunny...'

I thought.

And on the other hand, Curtis is just curiously looking around.

I'm pretty sure he's the same as me, Adelle, and Aoi who are not familiar to this kind of place.

Curtis doesn't like places with too many people after all.

And the reason, I don't know... And I don't really care that much.

Anyway, I looked back at Aoi and Adelle.

They're talking to each other, it seems like the two of them are figuring out where we should.

Then I suddenly glanced at Blake.

And I'm quite surprised to see that unlike us...

Blake is really calm, it also appears that he know something about this place...

"Blake?"

I called him.

"Hm? Oh, what is it?"

Blake looked at me and asked.

Then without beating around the bush.

"Did you already went here before?"

I asked him.

And at my question, Blake nodded his head with a smile as a response.

"I've been here for many times now."

Then he declared.

"I buy my potions here after all."

Blake added.

Adelle and the others looked at him.

And when everyone's eyes are on him, Blake smiled confidently.

"I think we should start looking at the fourth floor, the items there are good in quality and they're pretty affordable."

Then he proudly said.

***

After that, based on Blake's suggestion, we headed to the 4th floor.

And Blake's words are only half true to be honest.

The quality of the items being sold in the 4th floor are really good.

But they're expensive as fuck, I don't know why Blake said they're affordable...

Anyway, we started shopping around.

We also checked the other floors.

But it does seems like the shops in the 4th floor are a lot better than the other floors.

So with that, we continued shopping for hours.

Until the time hit 3:00 PM...

***

"I'm getting hungry."

Adelle then suddenly mumbled.

"Me too..."

And Alec followed.

Then after that, they both looked at Blake.

"Hey, guide us next where we can eat..."

Adelle said to Blake.

I'm also getting hungry too, and it seems like that's the same for the others too.

So we looked at Blake too, waiting for his answer.

Blake immediately caught on what we were thinking, so he nodded his head.

"Let's go to the second floor, there's a food court there and the food stalls there are the best."

Then he said.

"Yes!"

"Nice."

Adelle and Alec immediately responded.

And after that, Blake guided us to the food court in the 2nd floor that he mentioned.

It didn't take us long to reach our destination, and as soon as we did...

We all immediately bought our food and started eating.

...

...

"Thanks for the meal."

Alec muttered after he finished eating his 2nd portion of food.

"That was nice..."

And Adelle mumbled, she just finished eating her 3rd food...

"Anyway, do we still have something to buy?"

Then Curtis suddenly asked, he's still eating his fried storm hawk, and it's actually his 4th time buying it now.

"I think we already bought everything on the list."

Aoi replied to Curtis, she finished eating first before all of us as she didn't order much to begin with.

"Then we can go home now?"

Then I joined the conversation, I finished eating earlier, after Aoi.

"Let's just take a short rest first."

Blake suggested to us.

"Well, I don't really mind."

And I replied to him.

I don't feel like going back in the academy after all.

And after a while...

"Anyway, shopping with you guys is really fun!"

Adelle declared!

Our attention shifted to her.

"Yeah, I had fun too."

Then Alec responded to her.

"Me too, it was a nice experience."

And Aoi shyly agreed to them both.

"Well, at least it's better than doing it alone."

After that, Curtis followed.

And I kinda agree to his statement so I nodded my head as a response.

But then...

"Too bad Raven couldn't come with us."

Blake suddenly mentioned Raven!

"Well, he said he's busy."

"Maybe he's training really hard huh."

And Alec and Adelle respectively said with a bit gloomy voice!

"He's a freak if he's still training."

"Maybe he's just preparing to enter the dungeon separately."

Rhen Curtis and Aoi followed!

And seeing the weird atmosphere around us, I frowned.

We actually invited Raven to come with us today, but he declined, saying that he already have a plan for the day.

But he recommended us things we should buy.

And we followed his recommendation because they seem reasonable enough.

Anyway, honestly speaking, I don't really care if Raven came with us or not today.

But it's annoying seeing the atmosphere being like this right after I finished eating and currently resting.

So, I opened my mouth....

"We could just buy something for him if you guys want."

Then I suggested.

I don't really have anything against Raven, he's just annoying from time to time, and what I mean by that, is almost everytime.

But when he's being quiet, I would even sit beside him to avoid disturbance.

No one interfere to what Raven is doing in the classroom after all.

But me, Alec and the others still get approached by others because they think we're more approachable than Raven.

Anyway...

"Oh, that's a good idea, Eve!"

"Yeah, a gift would work!"

"But what does Raven want in the first place?"

"A condom, probably."

"Shut up Curtis."

At my suggestion, the others regained their energy.

And that's enough for me so I didn't join their conversation about what to buy for Raven.

"Wow, they look good..."

"Are they celebrities?"

"Do you think they'll mind if we ask them for pictures?"

But then, I started hearing people whispering among themselves.

And hearing their words, I frowned and prepared myself for the worst.

Also, it seems like I wasn't not the only one who heard them as Alec and the others shut up too, they became a bit serious too...

And with that, we remained still in our place, waiting for someone to approach us and decline whatever their offer is.

By doing that, the others wouldn't go near us anymore.

We thought of this strategy weeks ago in the academy because so many students keep approaching us.

Anyway, that's what we did.

But after some time passed...

No one approached us nor even planned to.

And I also noticed that the gazes we're receiving are getting lower and lower!

Me, Alec, and the others are confused at what's happening.

So we looked around...

And that's when we saw a group of people few tens of meters away from us.

They all got their backs against us...

"What are they doing?"

Blake asked.

"I don't know, but it seems like they're looking at something."

Then Adelle replied.

We're glad that people's attention got shifted away from us, so it's not gonna be troublesome.

But we became curious at what people are on about.

So me and the others looked at each other, then we nodded our heads and stood up from our seats.

And after that, we approached whatever the others are looking at.

And then we saw what caught their attentions.. .

It was a handsome and tall man!

He have a shiny black hair and sharp black eyes, his nose is pointed and his lips are pinkish.

he also have a well-built body.

And he's a person me and the others are familiar with!

"Raven?"

Then Alec suddenly mumbled.

That's right, it was Raven!

"Huh, big brother, someone called your name."

And in Raven's arms was a cute little girl with a similar hair and eyes color to him!
