Chapter 4: Meeting Coincidentally
Chapter 4 Meeting Coincidence
” Ah.”
There's a bell-like bell behind it.
It was a sound that Amane had recently known, but it was not his apartment, but rather the snack section of a nearby supermarket.
There were usually people there, but Amane never expected Mahiru to react to him, so he turned towards her awkwardly, looking at her with wide eyes.
He's holding a basket of ingredients for dinner, radishes, tofu, chicken thighs, and milk tonight.
Looking at this situation, it seems that she happened to meet him in the snack section.
” Let me say this first. It's a coincidence, I'm not following you. “
“ I know it. It's the nearest supermarket here, so it's understandable. ”
He first stated, “Why do you think so?” and Mahiru groaned dumbfounded as she looked towards the notebook in her hand,
It is truly the perfect Mahiru style to write down all his needs.
As soon as he checked the contents of the cute floral patterned notebook, he went from the corner of the snack, and headed for the seasoning corner on the opposite side.
Soy sauce and mirin, so she muttered in an adorable voice as she looked for home necessities. She was really acting cute, but Amane felt it was disbelief.
“ Mirin is here. Hey.”
“ Ah, that's not the mirin I want. People under the age cannot buy it. ”
” It is considered alcohol?”
“ It is treated as sweet wine. This type of seasoning cannot be drunk directly when salt is added, so underage people can buy this. ”
She wanted to give mirin to him, but she shook her head, and stuffed the mirin spice into the basket.
This was the first time Amane had heard of this, especially when he barely did homework, “Heh.” so he replied when he saw his deft movements from behind.
Mahiru looked at the ketchup sauce rack, and noticed the price tag, muttering as she frowned,
“... Special discount limited to only 1 bottle per person ..”
It seemed that he wanted to buy another one, as he wailed and looked towards her …
” I'll buy one, okay?”
” Thank you for understanding me.”
He felt a sense of meaning in his words, and smiled wryly as he held a bottle of soy sauce. Mahiru curled her lips into a satisfied smile …
“... You unexpectedly save.”
“ Save, or should I say, save as much as I can. We shouldn't spend too much money. ”
” Sounds like Japanese characteristics ... but I guess it's given when we live off our parents' money.”
Amane also lives alone, and relies on his parents.
He was born to a wealthy family, and was able to live in a clean and safe apartment. He also has enough living expenses, and no need to skimp. Therefore, he was very grateful to his parents.
He had to pay the school fees, and had to spend a little on living expenses, so he would try to avoid useless expenses.
“... I guess. After all, we are still dependent, so it is very important to save. ”
Mahiru responded briefly as she sorted the contents of her basket. The cold voice without warmth.
It was frightening to see how his answer was suddenly so monotonous, but when he raised his head, his expression was like before.
The glaring dull eyes were no longer visible.
“... By the way, did you buy this?”
While the portion he received from Mahiru was truly delicious, that amount was not enough for him. As usual, he would buy rice for the main course and salad as side dishes.
” For dinner.”
” It's not healthy.”
“ Come. I bought a salad, see? “
” But it's potato salad .. how do you not ruin your life like this ..?”
” You are too worried. ⁇ ”
You should eat more vegetables, so Mahiru narrowed her eyes as she pressed Amane silently, who turned around and paid no heed.
While they continued to talk, Amane finished the payment, and stored his item in a plastic bag. Mahiru in turn took out the recycle bag, and kept the item inside.
He really is a Plebian Angel who cares about the environment.
However, while he was putting in his items, that amount made him a little worried.
Milk, soy sauce, and mirin seasoning amounted to 4 liters, and although it differed slightly from water in terms of density, it was still 4kg. In addition, he had bought some ingredients, especially radishes, which would be very heavy. .
She did pack them all well and button them up, but would physically burden her to bring her back to the apartment.
(So he bought a lot of these herbs and ingredients because of me)
It seemed like he would cook more than usual and share some with her. During this time, Amanue had received a certain amount of food. She said she cooked too much, it seems like she accidentally cooked an excess of food recently.
It seems that the result is that Amane caused her big trouble, and she would be worthless as a man to do nothing for him.
Once he saw that he finished the zipper, Amane tried to lift it, and while it was not too heavy for him, it would be very attractive for a girl to carry it from a distance.
While Mahiru is really athletic, his physical strength is another matter. One could tell that behind her clothes, her slender arms could not have much strength.
Amane's movements made his caramel-colored eyes blink.
He looked grateful, not surprised.
“... I didn't steal yours.”
” I'm not worried about that .. at least I can bring that much?”
” You will be sweeter if you receive this honestly, know.”
” You make it sound like I'm not funny.”
” Compare how you act in school with the way you treat me.”
He may have self-awareness, as he jolts a little.
Everyone agrees that he is very friendly, kind, and humble at school, but he did not show this to Amane.
To be exact, while he treated Amane well, he was frank with her. He never cared about politeness when it came to him, and always expressed what was on his mind.
However, it was much better than lying, so Amane did not mind.
While Mahiru remained silent, Amane took the opportunity to carry a recycling bag full of materials, along with hers, and rushed towards the exit.
There seemed to be some panicked movements in the back, but Amane paid no heed as he ignored their increasing distance, heading straight ahead.
He did not bother to slow down enough for her.
They were already together at the supermarket, and if anyone saw them walking home, side by side, everything would become uncontrollable.
For them, this is the ideal distance.
So Amane pretends not to have any relationship when he rushes, “.... Thank you very much.” just to hear a small whisper behind him.
