After Tina got her father's permission (albeit forcefully), Aster returned to his room to change into more casual clothes, concealing his face and other features before heading out again.
This time, he planned to buy items that weren't listed in their dungeon preparation. Essentially, he was going window shopping and buying whatever caught his interest.
Aside from dungeon-related items, Aster visited various markets to pick up food supplies, ingredients, and even a cooler to store sensitive perishables, ensuring they stayed fresh a bit longer.
Unfortunately, he didn't run into any of the girls during his shopping trip. However, they all sent messages in the group chat, saying they'd finished their own lists already.
"Everyone, get a good rest. Starting tomorrow, we're going to breeze through the dungeon!"
