"What's this?" Yue questions after being given a strange device.
"It's a Soul Information, and Communication device, or Sphone for short."
"What do I do with it?" Hui spends 30 minutes showing Yue the ins and outs of using an Sphone
"Wowww! So much information is stored in such a small space!"
"This cutie learns quick!" Hong conjects
Yue, who is accustomed to changes in society, picks up on new innovations rather quickly.
"Are you ready to go now?" The modern world has many more things, though not as useful as an Sphone, there are countless things can entertain you for hours!"
"Really? let's go right now!"
They leave, say goodbye to the eccentric old Owl, and make it back to Hong's house.

Ning after getting a call from Wei immediately leaves via Supercar driven by her Chauffeur. He arrives at their location relatively quickly, rendezvous with the two who have been shopping at various furniture stores within Hui's budget.
"This just won't do!" Seeing the things they bought Ning arranges for them all to be returned immediately
"Get in!" Ning signals for the two to get in, Wei wastes no time having done this countless times before. On the other hand Asumi is reluctant eventually submitting however when they start to draw attention from a small crowd. Which is growing by the second.
"Have you ever been to any of the 7 Star restaurants in the Diamond area?"
-7 Star The max amount of stars a luxury restaurant can receive for fine dining
-Diamond area One of the wealthiest areas in Kashirui and the closest one to the Magi estate, Ning's favorite hot spot to spend her seemingly endless wealth.
"No, this is my first day here." Asumi responds softy
Looking them up on her phone her heart sinks, as even in Aglea prices like this were very expensive, she has only been to a handful of fancy restaurants in her life none of which were even close to 7 Stars.
"This is…" Asumi is unsure if she should be treated like this or if it's a burden.
"Don't worry, for Ning, this is a very casual daily activity!" Wei reassures Asumi showing her countless pictures from their many excursions and even a few articles they've been in, as well as some of their modeling photos.
"This is all… wow you two are quite famous" Asumi thinks this makes a lot of sense. Wei is a gorgeous girl and gives off a very elegant and pampered vibe.
While Ning, who is the most beautiful girl she's ever seen, almost caused her a heart attack after getting out of her car and talking to her so casually in front of so many people. Seems like she is not only rich, extravagant, and ingenious. But is also iconic in everything she does.
(She hit the nail on the head!)
(…..)
They make it so their destination, while Wei who is quite extroverted points out all of the important places along the way, telling short stories about each place along the way. Some of which make Asumi's head spin. She hasn't heard numbers like this since she looked over the months expenses of Aglea to fill in for her brother who was sick.
She was shocked even then but to spend that much in one outing… her blood pressure started to rise, so she began chowing down on the hyper expensive snack Ning keeps in her many cars which are restocked daily even if she doesn't go out. Which the staff are welcome to eat so they aren't wasted.
Because of things like this her staff are among the happiest workers in Kashirui and due to the reputation this has caused, the competition for these jobs is extremely fierce. Though the background check is notoriously difficult too as Ning only lets those she trusts wholeheartedly work for her. Even knowing this, being one of Ning's assistants is the number one most desired part time job among young Magi.
(…..)
"Welcome to The Heavenly Dragon how many are with you today?"
"Three!" Wei says gleefully.
They are immediately greeted by a gorgeous restaurant, elegant furniture, tableware, designs, and a gold waterfall koi pond.
Asumi is so stunned she doesn't even notice Ning and Wei have already left toward the table and had to be walked there by one of the many beautiful waiters.
"Sorrry!" She sassy nervously bowing out of habit
"It's no trouble this way please."
Wei and Ning are laughing at Asumi's hilarious display of nervousness. Which only makes Asumi more nervous, causing them to laugh more.
"This much for bread?!?!!" Asumi can't seem to contain herself looking through the gigantic menu of things so expensive they could put her in debt for a year.
"It's no problem, get whatever you like!" Ning knows she is going to spend a fortune as usual so even if she were to order absolutely nothing there would still be enough food for a large gathering.
"Ri-Riught" Asami has lost all motor function and is slurring her words.
"What can I get you guys started off with?"
5 Star blood essence fairy soul wine by the bottle" Asumi's jaw drops as she instantly remembers seeing that wine listed as the third most expensive on the menu.
"The usual I see, and for you two lovely ladies?"
"Refined heaven Yin and Yang vodka." Asumi pauses for a moment to make sure she heard correctly. As not only is that the strongest alcohol on the menu, Wei is 18 and the drinking age is 20.
"You can't drink your only 18!" Wei thinks that comment is quite hilarious considering she spends ⅓ of her time out sloppy drunk and often getting carried by one of Ning's assistants.
"I assure you mam it's perfectly fine, and very common as long as they are with an adult 18 is the minimum age for alcohol consumption."
Asumi is flabbergasted as her father wouldn't let her drink until she was 23, although that never stopped her and her siblings from sneaking some before then, but still.. actually now that she is thinking about it she was far worse than Wei!
"I see.!" She says nervously trying to forget her rowdieness as a teen.
"Ok I'll have lemonade." (One of the cheapest things on the menu).
Just so you know ma'am it contains alcohol
"Really!… I guess I'll just have water."
"What kind?"
"Regular?" The waiter confused looks at Ning
"Just bring a few empty glasses." Asumi defeated, doesn't even put up a fight, and starts mentally preparing herself for whatever shenanigans that could befall her in the coming minutes.
