Chapter 12:

The shoping and entertainment

Skyfall Zero ( Arc-1)


Ren and Grandpa coming out of the metro. The train doors close behind them — the station is busy with many people walking around the station to go to work. Grandpa stretches his back and Ren stretches his arms after sitting on the train for so long.


Then, Ren and Grandpa go toward the exit together. After coming out of the metro station, Ren opened Google maps on his phone. 


Ren says, “ Grandpa, we have to go this way”


Grandpa smiles and says, “ I'm trusting you, Ren. I'll just follow whenever you lead.”


Soon, Ren and Grandpa arrive at the place they decided to meet. As Ren looks around, he notices Hina already waiting there. She stands quietly, waving when she sees them. Then, Ren and Grandpa walk toward Hina. 


Hina smiles brightly and says, “ Today, we're going to have a lot of fun.


Grandpa replies, “ First, we need to visit the tailor, for the uniform.”


Then, they all walk into a tailor's shop. As soon as they step inside, the small bell above the door rings softly.

Riiining —!


The shop has a very old design, but looks very expensive. The walls were green and decorated with an old design, and many photos were displayed on them. Then, Hina's attention goes to one photo.


Hina looks carefully at the photo and says, “ Grandpa, you are also in this photo!” 


Grandpa laughs, then Ren also looks at the photo and says, “ Grandpa, this is you! Did you know that person?”


Then, grandpa looks at the photo and says, “ after the world war, many of my friends left the army and started other jobs. Some became chefs, sports players and some even started their own businesses, and one of them, my friend, opened his own tailor shop. Which became very famous in Japan. Now, his son is running this shop, and continues his father's legacy. So I thought I'll get your uniform made here.”


Hina says, “wow! Grandpa, your friend is really talented.! “


Grandpa laugh and softly reply, “ I know”


Then, the three of them walk up to the receptionist area. She looks up and asks politely, “ Do you have a registration, sir?”


Grandpa replies, “ Yes, It will be under Ren and Hina's name. Please check.”


The receptionist checks the registration and smiles. “ Oh! You are the  owner's guests. He has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me sir.”


The receptionist stands up and leads all of them toward the owner's room. They stop in front of a room, and she says politely, “ Please, go inside the room.”


Grandpa, Ren, and Hina enter the room. Inside, the shop owner is already waiting. As soon as he sees them, he stands up with a bright smile.


“Uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time,” he says, “I am really happy to meet you again uncle.”


Then he hugs Grandpa tightly. Grandpa laughs softly and pats his back.


“I am very happy to meet you too, Sato,” Grandpa says, “ You have made your father's top even more famous — Your father's proud on you, sato”


Sato smiles with pride but shakes his hand and says, “uncle I only learned everything from my father,” he says, “I am just continuing my father's footsteps.”


Hina suddenly shouted in surprise.

“ Wait… you are S- Sato kento! The world famous designer!”, she says


Ren looked at her, “ You know him, Hina?”


Hina nods quickly, “of course! His outfits are worn by the biggest models and idols in the world. People wait months, even years, just to meet him. They have a God-gifted talent in designing.”


Ren hears Hina words, and he looks at Sato again, now completely shocked after listening to his achievements.


Sato looked toward Hina with a warm smile.

“ I am very happy to hear that you like my work,” he says, “ thank you — cute girl and it's a pleasure to meet you too.”


Hina's face turns red and she blushes slightly, surprised by his friendly tone.


Then, Sato looks at Grandpa and asks, “ Please, tell me Grandpa…. How can I help you today?”


Grandpa smiles and says, “ I come here to get an academy uniform made for Ren and Hina.”


Sato raises his eyebrows with interest.

“oh?.... Which academy did they get admission into? Uncle.”


Hina answer proudly, “ JPW Academy”


Sato's eyes widened in surprise.

“ JPW academy! That's impressive. Passing their entrance exams means you both are truly talented.”


He looks at Ren and Hina with admiration.


Ren scratches the back of his head and says humbly, “ It's all because of Grandpa's training and guidance — without Grandpa training, we never passed the entrance exam.”


Sato says, “ Uncle is truly special, and you both are very lucky to get the chance to train under him. Now, come on — let me take your measurements.”


Then Sato uses his power and takes out a small notebook. With a soft glow in his eyes, he scans Ren and Hina, their measurements appearing before him as faint light figures. He quickly writes everything neatly into his notebook.

After finishing, Sato closes the notebook and calmly smiles.


“Alright,” he says, “both of your measurements are done.”


Ren and Hina look at each other in confusion.


Hina asks, “But… you didn’t even take our measurements — you didn’t use a measuring tape at all.”


Sato smiles calmly and explains his power.


“My power is measurement,” he says. “When I look at something, I instantly see every angle, length, and detail. I obtain the exact measurements without needing a measuring tape. I already know your exact measurements from every angle.”


Ren says, “E-Every angle, What means Mr. Sato.?”


Sato nods calmly and says, “ Yes, every angle! — and, I even know that measurement too, Ren”


Hina tilts her head and asks, “Which measurement are you talking about?” she asks innocently.


Sato laughs softly and says, “Haha… boys’ measurements. You wouldn’t understand.”


Hina doesn't understand Sato words, and she looks confused.

“…Eh?”


Ren quickly looks away, pretending nothing happened.


Then, Sato looks at Grandpa and says, ““Uncle, please come back in the evening to pick up the uniforms. Until then, you can go and enjoy somewhere.”


Grandpa smiles, “Thank you — Sato, we will come in the evening to take the uniform.”


Ren, Hina, and Grandpa leave the room together. A moment later, they step outside the building.


The three of them stand there for a moment. Then, they went toward a gaming play centre.

After a short walk, they went to the gaming center. Ren and Hina saw the gaming playing centre — their faces lit up with excitement. Without wasting any time, they walked inside a gaming centre.


In the gaming centre, everywhere there were bright gaming screens, gacha machines and more multiple types of game. Ren and Hina went straight toward the receptionist desk.


Hina asked the receptionist , “ Excuse me, how much is the gaming pass?”


The receptionist replied politely, “Three thousands yen per person.”


Hina nodded and said, “ Please give us three passes.”


The receptionist smiled, “ will you pay by cash or card?”


Before Hina could reply, Grandpa stepped forward from behind, “ cash” he said calmly. Grandpa opened his wallet and handed over the money.


Hina said, “Grandpa, I was going to pay…”


Grandpa laughed and said, “Hahaha. The plan to come out today was mine — So think of this as a small gift from me.”


Ren and Hina both say, “Thank you, Grandpa.”


Then, Ren and Hina go straight to a basketball shooting game. They started playing and enjoying, aiming for the hoop again and again.After a few minutes, the game ended.

Ren scored 19 points.

Hina scored 12 points


Ren clenches his fist in excitement.

 “Yes! I won!”


Hina puffs her cheeks and says, “Ahh, Ren, you’re really good at this.


Ren smiles and says, “You played well too.”


Then Ren looked toward Grandpa with shining eyes and said,“Come on, Grandpa.“Let’s have a match — you and me!Please don't say No, Grandpa.”


Grandpa gave a calm smile. “Alright… I play with you.”


Then, the match started. 

Ren threw ball after ball without showing any patience, but on the other side Grandpa moved with patience and confidence. Grandpa's ball shots were smooth, steady, and perfect like a professional.


When the game ended—


Ren scored: 21 points

Grandpa scored :96 points

Not a single shot from Grandpa missed.


Ren looked at the score in disbelief, and Hina blinked in shock.


Grandpa simply laughed and said, “Experience…. Make a perfect person”


Ren looks at Grandpa and says, “Come on, Grandpa. Let’s play another game!”


They move to a shooting game machine. The targets appear on the screen and players shoot on target within time and accuracy.


Ren holds the gun with both hands. He focuses hard, aiming carefully before every shot — Bang! Bang! He gives his full effort, trying to not miss a single target, but many targets miss and run off time. 


On the other side, Grandpa holds his gun with only one hand. He doesn’t even aim. He just casually pulls the trigger — Bang! Bang! Every shot hits perfectly.


Ren looks at Grandpa in disbelief, but he gives 100 percent on their games.The game ends, and the results appear on the screen.

Ren's score 

Accuracy — 43% 

Time taken — 4 minutes 37 seconds


Grandpa’s score:

Accuracy — 100%

Time taken — 1 minute 12 seconds


Ren looks at the score card and sighs.

“Grandpa… defeating you is impossible. Ahhh…I admit my defeat.”


Grandpa laughs and pats his shoulder and says, “Never give up. One day, you will definitely beat me — but not today, Ren”


Hina says on the back, “Then let’s play another game!”


Soon, the three move to different machines.

Hina tries the gacha machines, hoping to pull out own favourite anime figures.

But each attempt fails. The capsule slips away every time at the end point.


“Ahh, again?!” she signed.


Ren gives her motivation and says, “Don’t worry. You’ll get one next time.”


After that, they play pinball and other games also. The three of them enjoy the time together, forgetting everything else and keep playing games. While playing, time passes quickly. The afternoon has almost passed, but they are still playing and enjoying the games together.
