If you take a moment to calm down, you can discover many unique sights in the Shibuya buildings of Shibuya.
Compared to New York, another city that never sleeps, the streets here seem particularly narrow, and people walk directly on the road.
It looks incredibly chaotic, but as soon as the red light comes on, everything becomes orderly again.
There is a particularly conspicuous building near Shibuya Station.
It is a clothing department store called "109".
Besides being a landmark building, it is also a hub for trendy clothing among the new generation.
The trendy, heavily made-up, tanned, and light-colored hot girls you see everywhere on the streets originated here.
While strolling around the building Vincent suddenly remembered a famous saying from his past life:
Showa-era men, Heisei-era shut-ins, Reiwa-era crossdressers...
Compared to the "spicy girl" culture, which peaked for a decade, then fell into obscurity for another decade, and then resurfaced again, the adage "things will turn around when they reach their extreme" seems to hold true.
Whether Japan rebels or not is none of his business, as long as the Wizarding World "rebels".
While the girls went to the fitting room to change, Vincent walked out of the store quite discreetly.
Starting from one hour, with no upper limit.
He leaned against the mall railing with both hands, looking down at the crowds coming and going.
After what seemed like an eternity, the girls finally emerged from the fitting room.
Rinne tried on a long black dress, which looked very dignified and elegant.
Jennifer wore a low-cut, cropped mini-skirt outfit, looking very sexy.
Qiu and Marietta chose school uniforms, which are sailor uniforms.
Daphne was wearing a cute black Rita dress.
Hermione was very conservative, wearing a loose-fitting long white tracksuit.
They attracted the attention of the entire clothing store.
There were quite a few people outside, but Vincent was still looking down at the people on the lower floors.
The first sentence is "Am I pretty?", and the next outfit is the same.
If the answer is "It looks good" both times, then the question will be "What makes it look good?"
If you change into several outfits and then ask "which one looks best," no matter how you answer, they'll keep asking you questions.
The most foolish answer is "They're all the same," which will completely offend the girl.
Vincent knew that more than one pair of eyes were staring at his back.
But he resolutely refused to turn back, even though the above conversation might not necessarily happen.
"Kids will be kids." Kenny said dismissively, putting his arm around Jennifer's slender waist.
"He's so clueless about romance, no girl will ever like him."
Rinne was planning to try on another outfit, glanced at them with an even more disdainful look.
He's glib and smooth-talking, and a typical example of arrogance and conceit.
She's in the same state as Hermione before, thinking about how to get revenge.
It takes about an hour, or maybe two hours.
When Vincent's legs were aching from standing and his eyes were dry from looking at the sights, the girls finally came out carrying their shopping bags.
As her boyfriend, Kenny certainly couldn't let Jennifer get tired.
The remaining gentlemen couldn't just stand by and watch them carry so many bags.
Vincent escaped unscathed once again.
After easily browsing through a store, the journey is far from over.
This department store must have at least a hundred clothing stores.
Fortunately, the business hours are from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m., and we're already a few minutes past that time.
But today seems a little different.
It's almost midnight, and there are hardly any shops that are still closed.
Rinne said with a hint of teasing, "Christmas is just a few days away and it will be our New Year. During this time, most shops in Shibuya and Shinjuku will be open all night."
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has changed from the lunar calendar to the Gregorian calendar.
The New Year is really only a few days away...
Fate is inescapable.
Vincent had calculated everything, but he overlooked this one crucial point.
Covered in shopping bags, his eyes were vacant, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
No wonder there were so many people, it turns out it's the year-end sales.
It would be great if I could learn some Japanese beforehand.
The girls' shopping trip ended at 2 a. m.
Rinne bought the most; she would take almost anything she saw.
Jennifer is secondary, since Kenny, who's experiencing both pain and pleasure, will foot the bill anyway.
Daphne is third, followed by Autumn and Marietta.
Although Hermione had the fewest items, she managed to buy a total of 10 outfits thanks to the combined advantages of lower prices and promotions.
Including shoes and accessories, the seven boys were all in pretty much the same condition.
Back at the Shingu Family, the girls all crowded into Rinne's room, full of energy.
"You've worked hard." Kenny put his hand on Vincent's shoulder in a condescending manner.
"Learn from me more, and you'll get the hang of it soon."
He sneered and went back to his room.
I knew I shouldn't have agreed to come, since I was so persistent in pursuing her.
I woke up from a nap and it was almost noon.
Vincent got up the earliest and ran into Changkichi on his way to the small garden.
"Young Master Wayne, the gym at home is now complete."
The cabin, expanded using the Undetectable Extension Charm, is very spacious, fully equipped, and even features a 200-meter-long rubber running track.
A qualified housekeeper always prepares in advance when you have a need.
At 1 p. m., Vincent had taken a shower and changed his clothes, came to the dining table.
Hayahiko and Meiko were both there, and besides them, only Rinne.
The girls must have been making a ruckus until very late, and the boys were probably too tired to handle it.
They're just kids, let them rest.
The lunch was very quiet without Kenny and Jennifer present.
After the meal, the four of them sat in the living room.
"Vincent, have you been reading the newspaper lately?"
"No."
Changkichi walked in from outside, carrying a large stack of newspapers.
It exists in every country, but mainly in two countries.
The Wizard Cards sells well in France and is currently on a steady upward trend.
The Daily Prophet raved about it, even making a slight dig at the delayed release of Gwent.
Hayahiko waited patiently until he put down the newspaper.
"Vincent, you know that your uncle has quite a few businesses in the world of non-magicians. I have a feeling that the Wizard Cards' purpose is not simple."
"A new type of Ponzi scheme." Vincent wasn't surprised.
"By manipulating the value of the Wizard Cards behind the scenes, it is elevated to a position that does not belong to it at all."
Only Rinne showed no surprise.
"That's right." Hayahiko said with a slightly serious expression, "When the time is right, they will destroy the Wizard Cards themselves in exchange for huge profits."
"Uncle Hayahiko wants to get involved?" Vincent raised his left hand and drew a red triangle in the air.
He then drew three horizontal lines inside, saying, "Given the Shingu Family's status in Japan, they would never make money in such a despicable way, would they?"
Hayahiko pondered for a moment, "It's not that I want to get involved, but that I want the Abe and Ashiya families to get involved."
The business world is like a battlefield; those who act first often have a significant advantage.
Faced with the current stalemate, the Shingu Family surprisingly chose to take the initiative through Vincent.
