Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

“I can understand that Shiina-san isn’t used to shopping; she’s afraid of people.”

"But Maejima-san, you said you're afraid?"

"are you serious?"

Rika Maejima scratched her little head and giggled:

"With so many people, I'm afraid I'll get lost."

"That's why I'm so close to Kamishiro-kun."

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually have a terrible sense of direction!"

Shiina Shoko, her face filled with disbelief and trembling with fear, said:

Σ(°△°|||)︴

"So, Pear Blossom, you have no sense of direction?"

Rika Maejima nodded and smiled:

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Shiro Shiro shook his head, too lazy to expose her, and simply asked:

"Maejima-san, where are you going?"

Rika Maejima pointed to the Don Quijote supermarket not far away:

"That's Don Quixote from over there!"

"Even many foreign friends buy souvenirs here to take back home."

"I think there are many kinds of products inside, so it should be a good place to choose."

Shiro Kaede remained silent for a moment.

He hadn't expected that Rika Maejima would take him to a supermarket.

But it’s not impossible.

He remembered that Don Quixote supermarket did indeed have a wide variety of items.

They have everything from alcoholic beverages and daily necessities to food, gift sets, and handicrafts.

"Shiina-san, what did your parents like again?"

"Tell us first. If it's not in Don Quixote, we'll go somewhere else later."

Shiina Shoko lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment, then looked up at Bai Feng and said:

"My dad likes alcohol!"

"My mom likes pretty handmade things!"

Jindai Bai Feng said in deep thought:

"understood."

"Then let's go into Don Quixote Lane."

"All of these are included."

Suddenly, Rika Maejima had a flash of inspiration and suggested:

"Kamishiro-kun, how about we buy some more chocolate gift boxes and take them over?"

"Most women really love chocolate!"

“Okay,” Kamishiro Shiro agreed. “Then let’s go quickly. After buying these, I still need to buy some clothes.”

As he spoke, he walked ahead.

Rika Maejima immediately followed him, saying happily:

"Are you going to buy clothes later, Kamishiro-kun?"

"What a coincidence! I'm going to buy clothes later too!"

"We're truly on the same wavelength!"

Shiro Shiro gave her a disapproving look:

"Go to hell."

"You'd better actually be going to buy clothes too."

“Really, really!” Rika Maejima chuckled. “Even pearls aren’t this real!”

When Shiina Shoko heard the two mention going shopping for clothes, she felt a little tempted herself. She tugged at the hem of Kamishiro Shiro's clothes and muttered to herself, "Kamishiro-kun."

Shinobu Shirakaze glanced back at her, but because Shiina Shoko's long bangs were too long and she was looking down, Shinobu Shirakaze couldn't see her eyes or expression at all.

He was worried that her social anxiety might make her uncomfortable meeting so many people, so he asked:

"what happened?"

"Is it uncomfortable?"

Shiina Shoko shook her head and murmured hesitantly:

"I want to buy clothes too."

"Could you take me with you?"

“Of course, but I’m not familiar with women’s clothes. You should ask Maejima-san,” said Shiro Kaede.

Shiina Shoko looked up at Maejima Rika with some anticipation.

"Of course I can!" Rika Maejima hugged Shoko Shiina's hand, pressed her face against Shoko's, and giggled, "Shoko is so cute, I've been wanting to take you shopping for clothes for a long time!"

Shiina Shoko nodded slightly and chuckled, "Mm."

Don Quijote supermarket.

After entering, Shiro Shiro led the two women up to the sixth floor where the liquor was sold.

I plan to walk down from upstairs, and then take the two of them to the first floor to pay the bill after we're done.

Neither Rika Maejima nor Shoko Shiina had any objections, so they followed him up.

After arriving on the sixth floor.

A dazzling array of goods were displayed in front of me.

One part of these items are men's belts, watches, bags, and other products.

Bai Feng ignored the other goods and went straight to the liquor section, intending to buy a bottle of Yamazaki 12-year-old.

But after he led Rika Maejima and Shoko Shiina closer to observe the wine.

The shop assistant immediately noticed that all three of them were wearing high school uniforms and quickly came over to advise them:

"I apologize to the three of you."

"These drinks are for adults only!"

Shiro Shiro, who was holding a bottle of wine and observing, suddenly froze for a moment before realizing that he was now a high school student and not an adult, and could no longer buy wine casually.

He suddenly felt a bit tense and quite helpless about Japan's system that requires people to be twenty years old to buy alcohol.

It wasn't just Shirakaze Kamishiro who came to his senses; Rika Maejima and Shoko Shiina were also stunned.

Rika Maejima slapped her forehead and muttered:

"Oh no, I forgot I need to be an adult to buy alcohol!"

Shiina Shoko shook her head frantically and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Kamishiro-kun, I forgot about that too!"

"Let's go buy something else now!"

"That's all we can do." Shinobu smiled helplessly, then apologized to the shop assistant before walking to other places to see if there was anything suitable for Shiina Shoko's father.

Looking at the bags and belts, Shionashiro Hakufu asked Shiina Shoko, who was standing beside him:

"Besides alcohol, what else does your dad like?"

Shiina Shoko blinked:

"cigarette!"

He and Rika Maejima both fell silent upon hearing this.

"Even minors can't buy cigarettes," Shinobu said helplessly. "Besides cigarettes and alcohol, are there any other things?"

Shiina Shoko lowered her head and pondered for a while, then shook her head sadly and said:

"Besides these two, I'm not too sure either."

"Feel sorry."

Shiro Kaede rubbed her head: "It's okay, don't worry about it. Let's look around some more and see if there's anything suitable for your dad."

Rika Maejima suggested with a smile:

"correct!"

"Although we can't buy alcohol, my dad has a lot of it hidden at home!"

"I'll just smuggle a bottle over as a gift later!"

Kamishiro Shirofumi said, embarrassed, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Shiina Shoko stammered, "Your dad'll be angry if he finds out."

Rika Maejima laughed and waved her hand: "It's okay. I've accidentally run into my dad's liquor before. He doesn't care about that little bit of money. He's a very generous person!"

Hearing about the small amount of money, Shiro Kaede assumed that Rika Maejima was talking about ordinary wines available on the market, so he didn't say anything and nodded, "Alright, then I'll leave the wine to you."

"As for the rest, I'll pay for them."

Rika Maejima nodded and smiled happily:

"Mmmmmmm!"
