Kazuo, Dai, and Bride would soon be joined by Gruffydd who asked about their general well-being. Kazuo explained the situation of acquiring an ice pack for Bride's cheek. During their conversation, Bride revealed that he was often sick as a child and that resulted in his nervous stutter. An usual side effect for sure but it's not like Kazuo can question it since he isn't a doctor. Kazuo turned to Gruffydd and asked if he would like to join them for a trip to the Wonder Mall; additionally, he mentioned food was involved. After a bit more conversation, Dai led everyone to the mall including Gruffydd, disregarding any plans he may have for the day.

"Welcome to the Wonder Mall, ho!" At the entrance to the Wonder Mall, the group was greeted by a giant Jack Frost statue that was a few feet taller than even Kazuo and Gruffydd. Jack Frost is a popular children's character and mascot; there's even an entire amusement park dedicated to him in the nearby Hitome City. An almost child-like grin formed on Kazuo's face when he saw the animatronic statue as it brought back sweet memories of his childhood. The mall is as busy as ever with hundreds of people wandering around the place to browse its shops. Impressive; it's even bigger than the mall back in Hitome City where Kazuo is from. Dai, Bride, and Gruffydd took over and gave Kazuo a grand tour of the place. They visited the numerous shops on all floors of the mall and, along the way, they saw their classmates. Johnathan was in Cafe Fortuna enjoying coffee with a good book. He seemed blissfully unaware of them however. It's best to leave him alone.

At Tee-Party, the group looked into the window to see Ito talking to the owner of the store. Well, it looked to be more of a one-sided conversation with the owner cheerfully chattering away while Ito seemed a bit overwhelmed. Kazuo couldn't help but lightly chuckle at Ito's helplessness in that situation. A bit later, they bumped into Saito who looked like he had just gotten off work or something. Kazuo greeted the tired individual with a friendly smile. Come to think of it, doesn't Dai have something to return to him? Looking off in the distance, Kazuo thought he saw Shinku wandering around the mall as well. Looks like all of them came here today.
