Rito didn't think about erasing people's memories regarding this incident. He wasn't officially part of the supernatural and had no obligation to keep it hidden.
Lala worried even less.
"Is it really okay to leave things like this?" Mikan murmured, seeing people looking in their direction.
Obviously, many thought they were actors and everything was some kind of special effect.
After all, many prefer to close their eyes to everything abnormal they see.
That saying that goes: "Seeing is believing" is obviously flawed.
Even now there were still people commenting things like:
"Are they making a movie?"
"Where are the cameras?"
"Are they hidden cameras? By the way, will we be on TV?"
There was even a boy who jumped like a monkey in front of them waving his hands wildly while shouting: "Mommy, I'm on TV!"
Without Lala or Rito responding, Mikan's lips pursed as she gave an ironic smile: "It seems we don't need to worry..."
Rito replied: "Yeah, just ignore them and let's continue and go shopping. So... Let's run!"
Holding both of their hands, he started running, passing through the crowd.
When they saw them fleeing, the people didn't react at first until one shouted: "After them!"
It wasn't as if they were bandits or something like that, they had no reason to want to chase them, but it just happened.
"What's with these people?" Mikan panicked upon seeing the crowd running after them.
"I don't know, maybe they're preparing to participate in a marathon?" Rito replied sarcastically.
"Hahaha, this is fun~!" Lala said while looking back: "Shall we keep running away?"
"I feel like we're playing cops and robbers with a bunch of them wanting to catch us." Rito laughed.
"True!" Mikan agreed.
"Although it's fun, we can't keep doing this, so..." Rito used the wind and enveloped the two, soon they began to fly.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Mikan's scream of fear from flying for the first time made Rito laugh a bit wickedly.
"Rito!!" Mikan shouted his name.
"Relax, no need to fear, I have everything under control." He said in a reassuring tone.
"Really?" Her eyes with tears threatening to fall were too adorable.
"Yes, really." He confirmed.
"By the way, Rito, I can do this myself." Lala said, enveloping herself with wind and flying on her own.
In fact, she didn't even need to use the wind to fly, but as someone who likes new experiences, she would want to try what it was like.
"Ohh, this is fun!" She exclaimed right after while flying controlling the wind.
"Wait... How can Lala use the wind to fly too?" Mikan was very confused.
"About that... I'll explain later." Rito replied.
Meanwhile, the people who were chasing them looked at the sky with a look of disbelief.
"How did they do that?"
"Where are the wires?"
"Could it be some helicopter or plane beyond the clouds?"
"But what a shame, I wanted an autograph from them..."
"By the way, does anyone know when the movie will be?"
"At least do we know the name of the movie?"
"Well, it must be some fantasy movie with action, right?"
The people began to disperse while talking among themselves.
...
After successfully shaking them off, they finally descended and arrived at a women's clothing store.
Mikan helped her choose some clothes and Lala was already in the fitting room.
"Rito?" Mikan said: "Shouldn't you buy some clothes too?"
Hearing that, he saw his reflection in a wall mirror.
Besides the torn parts, there were even blood stains on his clothes.
'I'm so used to being watched, that I didn't even notice that it should be for this reason that I was getting so many stares...'
"I'll do it after seeing Lala try on some clothes." He replied.
"You do you." Mikan shrugged.
When the fitting room curtain was opened, Lala appeared striking a pose with her hand behind her head: "I tried on this one, Rito." She asked: "How do I look?"
She chose a beautiful white one-shoulder dress with a bow tie right below the breasts.
"It looks perfect." Rito said with a sincere smile: "You look beautiful, Lala. For a moment I mistook you for a fairy."
"Hehee~ You're good with compliments, Rito!" She closed the curtain again.
Mikan looked at him with a provocative look: "Really... You're really good at complimenting Lala."
"Jealous? Don't worry, Mikan, you're very beautiful too. Have more confidence!" He winked at her playfully.
"W-Who's jealous! And, just so you know, at school I..." She stopped midway.
"At school?" Rito got curious.
"It's nothing! Just forget what I said." She turned her face away from him.
"That only makes me even more curious." Rito held her hand, shaking it a little.
She pulled her hand away: "You're being annoying, Rito!"
Before he could continue, the curtain was opened once more and he froze upon seeing what Lala was wearing.
It was a black kimono with mainly pink and white flowers. She managed to dress perfectly with her hair tied in double braids. The hair part was clearly done by Peke. Maybe it was even her who helped Lala get dressed.
"Rito, close your mouth." Mikan teased.
Rito touches his face and seeing she was talking nonsense, he glares at her, only to see her laughing a little, but he didn't waste time with her now. His eyes turned back to Lala.
"You look very beautiful, Lala." He said: "In my heart, you are the definition of a beautiful woman."
"Really? I'm happy~!" She smiled and went back to the fitting room.
Mikan nudged him with her elbow: "Look at you, saying those embarrassing things without even blinking. Not bad."
"Thanks?" He said.
...
After seeing Lala try on ten different sets of clothes, Rito went out alone to buy clothes for himself, mainly to wear at that moment.
And, as expected, the stares in his direction 'hurt'.
Luckily, he managed to avoid a cliché scene of being judged by his clothes and managed to try on a set and leave the store wearing it.
"Rito Yuki?"
As he left the store, he saw a familiar face who recognized him.
It was a girl with blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She had a sweet and innocent smile as she looked at him.
