Chapter 131: Girls Day

Chapter 131: Girls Day

-----

As we walked outside of the apartment complex and into the city, I decided to first go eat something. Eating cereal again was going to make me sick, and the stronger I grew, the more calories my body craved. So this was the perfect opportunity to indulge in unhealthy foods.

“Let’s go eat something highly caloric and full of sugar for a change!” I celebrated.

“Oh, then let’s go to the newly opened mall on Wally Street; it has a lot of stuff we could try!” Baihe said.

“I want a Frappuccino! I don’t know what that is, but I always hear people talking about it.” Annabelle said it cheerfully.

“Alright then, let’s go there!”

We rushed to the new mall at maximum speed, surprising a few people. As we are awakened, when we run, we sometimes create a few shockwaves of wind here and there, but nothing too serious.

FLASH!

BAAM!

Once we arrived in front of the mall, we got inside, finding a beautiful arrangement of countless shops selling all kinds of products. The best was that they weren’t related to anything regarding Hunters! Just normal things, for a change...

“So many shops... This is the first time I have visited a place like this.” Annabelle was walking around, sometimes stumbling on people as she looked at each shop separately, placing her hands on the glass as she glanced at the dresses, boots, and other clothes.

“You’ve never come to a mall before, Annabelle?” Baihe was surprised. “Poor girl...” She gave her a head pat.

“It doesn’t really matter; now I’ve come with you two!” Annabelle smiled. “I’m so happy to be your friend!”

“Aww...” Both Baihe and I couldn’t help but have our hearts melted by her words.

I mean, she was such a cute girl sometimes!

“Anyways! We can come back to do some shopping later; let’s go eat! Have you ever eaten chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce before, Annabelle?” I asked her. “Or cookies and cream ice cream?”

“Wow, never! Are they good?” She wondered.

“They’re really good.” Baihe nodded. “Though I’ve heard there are some Chinese food restaurants too! So we could have a taste of that as well, while we are at it!”

"Sure, that sounds good!” I nodded.

We moved to the third floor, where we found the area where all the fast-food places gathered in the same corner. We started going from one after another, checking what they had.

“So many things! Anna, what’s a Crispy McSpicy?” Annabelle wondered.

“A sandwich with crispy chicken and spicy barbecue sauce!” I said. “I remember eating these back then.”

“Baihe, what’s that?” Asked Annabelle.

“That’s... Oh, that’s where you can get yourself a Frappuccino! Let’s go get some there for starters.” She said.

“Right!” I agreed.

We rushed there, waited in line like any other civilized human being, not trying to get in front of other people just because we were hunters or something, and then we got ourselves some drinks.

“Hmmm..! So sweet, cold, and creamy! And there are cookie pieces in there! And the cream is fluffy, light, nice, and creamy!” Annabelle was having a sugar rush as she was drinking her cookies and cream Frappuccino with extra whipped cream.

“I guess this is the first time you ever get one of these.” Baihe laughed, drinking an infusion of different teas, with some lemon and orange juice in the mix. “This cold tea is really nice and refreshing too, especially on these hot days~”

“I should have guessed you would get something healthier.” I laughed. “I got myself something pretty gross, but it’s good nonetheless!”

What I was carrying with my two hands was a huge triple ice cream Frappuccino with double whipped cream, topped with a donut. It had vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream flavors, and the mini donut had custard cream filling covered in white chocolate.

For any normal person, this would be an instant heart attack. But my body seriously needed all this energy, so I happily ate the donut in a single bite and started devouring the ice cream and the cold, creamy, and refreshing Frappuccino.

“Hmmm... With this, I’m happy already~” I sighed in relief. “Oh, so anyway, where’s Sara? And Scarlet? Do you girls know?”

“Let’s dig in then!” I said, grabbing my plate of fried rice with shrimp and giving it a taste. “Oh, not bad! Pretty alright!” I quickly started snacking on spring rolls and the little deep-fried fish paste nuggets they sold, which were good with that sweet and sour sauce.

“Nom, nom... Hmm, so juicy!” Annabelle was happily eating her dumplings.

“Hm, alright... I guess I give it a 6/10; not bad, not too great either.” Baihe said this after tasting the many dishes. “I guess it's still a fast-food restaurant and all, not a professional Chinese food place...”

“Okay, okay, let’s just enjoy it, for once.” I laughed. “Relax!”

After feasting enough, we moved downstairs and started shopping for all kinds of clothes and accessories we found cute and wanted, being completely unhinged about it!

“Yeah, I love these black jeans... Oh, and these black jackets too!” I was fascinated.

“You sure love black, huh? Are you into gothic and punk styles?” Baihe wondered. “I never thought such a cute-looking girl like you liked those styles, hehe.”

“What does that even mean? I like what I like!” I crossed my arms.

I tried all sorts of fits, liking a lot these freer and non-tight jeans. I also got myself some blouses and a few jackets, mostly black ones.

“For once, I want some dresses... These white ones are really pretty. Aw, what the heck? I’ll get some!” Baihe said it decidedly.

“Look good on you! You’re really preparing well for summer with all the sandals.” I laughed.

“I dislike sneakers; my feet are a bit... Well, delicate, I don’t like too much heat on them...” Baihe shrugged. “Ah, those sunglasses look cool! Look, they’re heart-shaped!”

“Cool!” Annabelle said, trying some.

“Nice~!” I laughed. “Say whiskyyy~”

CLICK!

I ended up taking a selfie with the girls trying out the sunglasses. Baihe got herself summer dresses, more sunglasses (she really liked collecting them), and more sandals.

“Ahhh, so many dresses! Oh, I love those shorts and the jeans! Oh my, the jeans! I want some more of those! I am actually a bit tired of dresses. My brother loved to dress me like a doll, and Scarlet too! But I kind of want to dress like you girls a bit more...” Annabelle said, looking at the jeans and shorts.

“Well, your current fit looks really good on you,” Baihe said. “The ribbon’s a cute extra; maybe we could go with that for starters?”

“Yeah, and then we get you this cute pink dress, and you put a black jacket over it, and these black boots... Oh wow! Oh yeah, that’s it! Annabelle, you’re rocking them!” I giggled.

“Really?! Hehehe!” Annabelle giggled happily.

"Seriously, I can tell why they dressed you like a doll; you look good in anything!” Baihe said.

“She’s really photogenic, isn’t she? She could become a model in the future.” I wondered.

“A model? Me?! Really?” Annabelle was flattered.

“I think you could if you try hard enough.” Baihe nodded. “Anyways, let’s take a selfie with this; she looks really cute!”

“Okay, cheese~” I giggled.

CLICK!

Annabelle ended up trying out a bunch of new things and was the one who ended up getting the most dresses, jeans, blouses, jackets, and a lot of sneakers.

We had so many bags that I had to store them inside my inventory, revealing to the people that I had such a useful skill. Immediately, some people in these shops tried to recruit me, but I declined their offers anyway.

After spending such a long day shopping and eating, we moved to the nearby park to have a nice walk while relaxing near the trees and talking about whatever.

The day slowly ended, but I’ll never forget the nice and cute memories I made today.

Annabelle and Baihe... They’re really my besties.
