    crazy apartement owner? can she do this????

    what is the story with Eki?

    Being new to BsAs, I had been scouting out all the supermarkets. I've noticed right accross the city there are loads of EKIS supermarkets... always dead quiet, like a horror movie and almost empty shelves. Why does no one shop there? more expensive, bad quality, bad rep? just curious :)
