8 CHAPTER 8: Lets go shopping hero! (1/2)

A little while later, Ru had brought out unseemingly from in-between her soft and cantaloupe-like ever dreamed breasts, the card seeped in the color of mystical violet with an intrinsic design of a crescent lunar moon gleaming in the night sky and the yang mitama over its cunning reflection. She took a calm deep breath and a sort of mystifying pose too. The air became subtle and purple lights were surrounding her and those were emanating across the whole room too. It made her hair to flow like water. Then, she casts out with the card, looking in great glory.

”AS PER THE DARK GODDESS RUHIME OF HIMENEA WORLD...”

”I COMMAND THEE...RELEASE THY CHAINS OF CELESTIA HEAVENS MALL!”

”AL RU MEGANAMI NAZU IL REVEREN!”.

Thereon, an illuminting white portal had emerged in front of her. It was releasing intense radiance upon anyone's eyes. Though, it wasn't that quite blinding to look at even for a long time. Zeran looked awe-strucked but, not that much, since it seemed he was quite familiar with her action, making him to scratch his chin looking very interested upon what she has done. He was in his thoughts afterwards,

(”So that's her chant...”).

Soon, he delved back unto his ocean of liquified memories, bringing him back in an awoken trance yet again. This time he was with Mai while they were both at the thick and vibrant green grassland. Mai took a step backward and brought out quite magically from her hand the sky-themed card with a huge white crystal at the center. Such a breezing feeling was then felt. Surreal translucent white lights and rays were seen around and above her. As she casts out,

”AS PER THE LIGHT GODDESS MAI OF AIKO WORLD...I COMMAND THEE...OPEN THY GATES OF CELESTIA HEAVENS MALL!”

”NEZHA MAI AXIM RA ARDUIN!”.

Soon enough, he had snapped out of his deep sea trance. Though, his face was now in a deep questionable look, feeling some kind of concern to Mai in his thoughts,

(”Mai...that woman huh...”).

Suddenly, Ru wore her full-fledged mysterious cloak again in a jiffy. She grabbed his wrist in an eager manner and both of them went through the portal, in which it made Zeran to come back to his normal senses. He saw the fascinating scenery and view of the unique-looking entrance of the mall. The fully glass-encased coven dome-like scenery dyed into the purple night sky. There were different stars and galaxies that can be seen in the naked eye above. The floor was dsigned with modern tiles in a bold monochromatic way. The vacant and open space hallways was freshening to look and tread upon, that was curved in a quite macro-circular way. Glamorous and various types of boutiques and shops were seen from the left and right. Showcasing their high quality wares and expensive prices. Vibrant yellow lights you would see in real malls. Not only that, there were lots of Gods, Goddesses, heroes in different looks, proportions and human-like features. Some with wings, others with horns or with tails or some animalistic/mythical features that were sprawling around the mall quite naturally and majestically to look at. Later, the nice-looking female receptionist with short-hair at the center aisle receptionist desk called unto Zeran and Ru. The two went near the receptionist. The receptionist greets them in a lively manner with added confetti bursting near,

”Ahem...”

”Welcome to the CELESTIAL HEAVENLY MALL!”

”Dark Goddess Ruhime and Hero Zeran...”.

Next, the receptionist gave Ru her merit card for her to verify and identify. It has a circular formed ID picture of her and the background was simply a black night sky, as it shines and glitters if flipped upon. As for Zeran, he recalled on how the light Goddesses gain their merit points in his thoughts,

(”If I remember correctly...”)

(”Mai and the other Light Goddesses gain their merits by...)”

(”The chosen hero had saved their world...”)

(”Crushing the Dark Goddesses/other anomalies plans...”)

(”Sigh...Being loved and admired by the hero...”)

(”And much more...”).

Soon upon, the receptionist called the attention of Zeran. He had stopped on retrieving his recollection and took the notice of the nice receptionist. She explains to him in the most simplest way possible,

”Sir Zeran...Since this is your first time being contracted to a Dark Goddess...”

”The Dark Goddesses gain their merits by...well...”

”Causing a huge fuss/phenomenon upon the world they are in...”

”Testing the hero's will and heart...”

”Making such dire judgements upon their world/chosen hero...”

”And many many more...”.

Then, she turned her look back at Ru. As Ru gave her own merit card. The receptionist took it and scanned it in the high-tech contraption near her desk. Later, a clear and huge holographic screen that you would see in a sci-fi world was shown above them that shows,

[”...TESTING THE CURRENT HERO'S WILL=200 000 PTS...”]

[”...ENSLAVING THE REINCARNATE HERO KING ZERAN NOAH AETHER=2 500 000 PTS...”].

The receptionist gave Ru a pleasant look on her face and another confetti was presented upon,

”Congratulations! You have done one of the epic feats that alot of Dark Goddesses would die for!”

”That's a multiple decades worth of games or other expensive luxuries!”.

As he heard that, his face was a mix of shock and surprise whilst, he was even questioning the raison d' etre itself,

(”GEH!? I'M THAT VALUABLE?!”)

(”And is that even MERITABLE?!”).

Though the receptionist tried to cheer the ploblematic Zeran by telling him,

”Don't worry Sir Zeran...you'll also be rewarded for being contracted to Ruhime...”

”Here...It's a Ruhime plush doll in her explicable image...”.

She brought out a plush doll that looked almost identical to Ru's key features. Even the dress and hair color were quite exemplary in the similarity of her facial features yet, in a cuter and plushier way. Zeran looked at it but somehow in a quite unnoticeable way to others, the Ru plush doll turned its head like it was alive and stared at him in return, turning Zeran to feel very creeped out, with shivers in his spine even in his thoughts,

(”Okay...did that Ru doll just...stared at me?!”)

(”I must be imagining things now...”).

Though, to relieve himself from the the very tensed up feeling, he looked up quaiantly, that made his focus on his thoughts to change later on,

(”If I didn't have that PERMANENT MEMORY STORAGE ability...”)

(”I'd be shocked with my very soul...with all this...the Goddesses and this Mall...”).
