"While we are here, we need to visit the Horikiri Clan's Secret Store first." Yuna whispered softly. Even so, she also stood up to follow Mike.
"The store in question is in this mansion? Alright, let's go there." Mike didn't mind that.
Therefore, Mike and his group of four simply left their table and headed for the exit.
"Hey, Mighty-man. You better prepare yourself for our showdown in three days. I mean, prepare to lose and be a loser, hahaha!" Austin threw a taunt for a taunt.
Unfortunately, Mike is not easily triggered just like that. He just waved his hand up without the need to turn around or stop his steps. "You should also prepare your Lotus Pearl before your precious treasure changes ownership."
"Hah-" Austin retorted, but Mike had gone too far to hear that useless rambling.
By the time Mike's group left the hall, two girls somehow followed behind them.
"Hmm-mm, greetings~ Would you like to visit the Horikiri Secret Store? We can go there together." Minako offered an invitation with a friendly smile.
"We are pleased to have you to accompany, Minako-sama. Let's go together." Yuna nodded in agreement without needing to think twice.
"Fufu, that's good." Minako put her hands together. When Mike and Yuna walked again, she also walked beside them.
"Nee, nee... Is it true that you're not Japanese, Might-sama? How did Yuna-sama meet you? Was it a fateful encounter, or maybe something else? You're Yuna-sama's secret lover?" Minako opened a small conversation playfully.
"Hm, yeah, it could be called a fateful encounter. We haven't known each other that much, but this is only the beginning." Mike muttered as if he was telling himself.
"A beginning by offending many young masters? This is just a friendly reminder, your relationship will be quite difficult with many obstacles, Might-sama. You need more than strength to have Yuna-sama as your girlfriend." Minako unfolded her folding fan and whispered. She didn't want any third party to eavesdrop or read her lip's movements.
"Ho? I know, but why do you say that, Minako-sama?" Mike gave Minako a glance. He felt that this noble girl had a purpose which he could not understand yet.
"Who knows? But, Yuna-sama's father and-" Minako glanced at Yuna and smirked.
"That's enough, Minako-sama." Unfortunately, Yuna didn't allow Minako to finish the sentence.
"Fufu, please don't be angry." Minako just giggled and was silent for a while.
Meanwhile, Mike raised his eyebrows. He had no idea what happened to Yuna's father, but it looked like Yuna didn't want to discuss anything about her father.
'Well... If this scenario continues, I'll also need to face a fierce and terrible father-in-law? Oh, my Goddess...' Mike had the urge to pat his forehead. But he just sighed softly in the end.
"Ah, we've arrived. I happened to have ordered some resources to take home. So, I'll just accompany you. Please~" Minako beckoned Yuna's group to enter first.
Mike stared at a wooden door in front of him. There was indeed a signboard with the words 'Secret Store' written on it. But, what kind of sane person would give a place name like that but provide a place name that was clear and easy to see at the entrance?
"The Secret Store is just a name. Actually, this place is completely secret and forbidden to non-ability users. Let's go inside." Yuna nudged Mike's arm for attention. Then, she pulled his arm to enter the secret store.
It was like a secret bar with only a reception desk and a few waiting chairs.
Yuna and her group approached the old man sitting at the reception desk. She placed a piece of paper on the table. "Excuse me, sir. I need all the resources listed on this list."
"Hmm..." The old man adjusted his glasses and checked the contents of the paper.
"Alright, Kusaragi Yuna and Mike. Your order will be available in about two days since the quantity you want is quite large. Is that fine on your side?" The old man put the paper on the table and casually asked for confirmation.
"Okay." Yuna just nodded in agreement.
"Then, please wait a moment." The old man sat back down and took care of something behind the table.
Mike tried to peek a little out of curiosity by tiptoeing a little. He could only see that it was a large screen.
"Here, please complete your payment." The old man put another piece of paper on the table.
At that very moment, Mike remembered that he was the one who needed to take care of the expenses for Yuna's sake. Therefore, he took the paper to check the fees he needed to pay.
"..." Mike was taken aback for a moment. Lots of numbers on there, nine digits, over a hundred million!? Whatever it was, he didn't expect that Yuna had intended to buy that many resources.
Nevertheless, he simply took out a card from his pocket. "I will take care of the payment. Please help me complete this order."
"Affirmative." The old man then put another tool on the table and guided the young man to complete the payment.
Mike didn't need to do much. He just swiped his card and typed in a secret pin. After that, the payment was complete.
"Your order will be delivered to the Kisaragi Clan's resident by our agents in two days. Please accept this." The old man gave a wooden token to Mike.
"All right." Mike just put his card and token into his pocket. After that, he turned around with the girls and left that secret store.
"Woah, it must be nice to have such a reliable man. Is this your first time coming to a resource shop in Japan, Might-sama? You are surprisingly knowledgeable about this. Is there one similar in your home country?" Minako put her hands together while giving Mike and Yuna a mysterious glance.
"It's just like a secret transaction. We place the order and leave when it's done. No need for small talk or anything else. They'll take care of everything perfectly. Am I right?" Mike closed one eye as if it was a trivial question.
"Oho? Nice parable. I can see that you are so relaxed and calm after offending some young masters. You even getting involved in a golden plaque challenge. It makes me even more curious about you, Might-sama." Minako smiled playfully like a child wishing for something.
"You guess?" Mike just replied with a mysterious smile. Then, he looked up slightly. "Hm, it's getting late. We'd better go home for a quality rest. It's nice to know you, Minako-sama. Oh, one more thing, I'm Mike, not Might."
"Yup, I know. But, it's easy for me to call you Might-sama instead. Can I?" Minako looked into Mike's face.
"Well, alright. Then, see you next time, Minako-sama." Mike nodded and waved his hand once. Yuna also said her goodbyes to Minako before they left.
"I'm looking forward to our next meeting, Might-sama. I'm sure it will be an interesting one with lots of problems, hehe..." Minako chuckled behind her folding fan while looking at Mike's back. After that, she turned around and left with her confidant.
