Shopping Guide
In preparation for the Metropolitan Society Observation, Mikoto and Kuroko go shopping together. Using a shortcut to the shopping mall, they travel through the back alleys, which are normally clear of other people. For some reason though, they are full of students. Thinking it strange, Mikoto and Kuroko continue along and find a hidden envelope with a money card stashed inside. According to Konori, similar incidents have been occurring all over the 7th district, and such reports are increasing day by day.
Mikoto then runs into Saten and spend the rest of the day searching for money cards with her. Nearing curfew and being completely exhausted, Mikoto begins to head home and overhears a group of Skill-Outs talking about how they found the “owner” of the money cards.
