Saturday afternoon. Sayaka came up to me and said she wanted to get out.
"I have a game I want to buy, so I'm going out."
"Well, whoa, hold on a second."
There are too many things to complain about, such as why he bought the game before the midterms, or why he came out despite my advice not to go out. Just as I was about to complain, Sayaka waved her hand in front of her face.
"I was just kidding. There are actually some reference books I would like to buy. Can I go out?"
"Wait a minute."
I opened the fridge door and checked what was inside. What should I do for dinner tonight? I still have potatoes, carrots, and cucumbers. But I'm out of mayonnaise and eggs. If I want to make potato salad, I have to go shopping.
"I also want to buy some stuff. Let's go together."
"Eh? I just want to buy a book."
"It's good for once in a while. Let's go to the nearest shopping mall."
Reluctantly, Sayaka nodded.
So, Sayaka and I decided to go together. My preparations were done quickly, but it didn't seem so quick for Sayaka. I waited at the entrance for a while, and finally, Sayaka went down the stairs.
"Thank you for waiting."
"Ah ......"
I was a little surprised when I saw him.
His appearance really turned into a friendly person.
She untied her hair, which she had bun because it was easier to move, and let it fall straight onto her shoulder. White hairpin next to his bangs. She took off the tawdry jerseys she wore around the house and wore a red blazing high-waisted skirt and a white knitted top.
".....sister who sucks. Can you stop looking at me?"
I was not offended and just let my eyes see Sayaka.
"What?"
"No, you'd be funny if you did it right."
"What's? You're disgusting."
After saying that, he took out a pair of black short boots from the shoe box, which he usually did not use. Whahuh? Didn't he say that they didn't fit his feet?
"Now what?"
"You all dress up."
"Silent. Secret geeks should be careful with their appearance. I'm not like my brother's a bitch."
"OK okay."
As we talked about this, my father came up to me, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Apparently, we had woken her up by talking.
"Huh? Are you going somewhere?"
I retaliated.
"We'll go shopping. We'll probably be back in an hour or so. Can we have lunch afterwards?"
"Yes, good job. I'm going to sleep."
"okay."
So my dad went back to his Japanese-style room in his pajamas. My dad always sleeps until noon on his day off. I wonder how he sleeps so well.
"What if we go?"
Sayaka nodded her head. We walked out the front door together.
The shopping center is about a ten minute walk away.
As we passed through the entrance, Sayaka rubbed her heels and said,
"I really feel my legs hurt because of this. I should have worn the usual."
"Are you okay? Should we rest somewhere?"
" ....... it's okay. Let's just go get it and go home."
First, we went to the bookstore. Seems like what Sayaka wants is an English reference book.
[Hey, choose which one is best for me."
He told me as soon as we reached the reference book section.
"I don't know which one you want. What kind of reference book do you want?"
"Which focuses on grammar, I guess. I've learned about relative pronouns lately, but I can't really understand them from textbooks."
"I think this book would be good for that."
I found a reference book that I also used, so I picked it up. Easy to understand and has a lot of practice. I remember it was good value for money.
"OKAY. I'll take this one. My annoying brother can help when he needs it."
He should just say thank you honestly. Sayaka took the book to the cashier and bought it.
"So, will you accompany me shopping this time?"
"...... I'm done with my business, I want to go home."
"I want to ask you what you want to eat while I choose. I'll buy you some candy too."
"Can't help it then"
I'm relieved she followed me so honestly, even though I wondered if she was in elementary school when it came to sweets. We took the escalator to the basement and put a shopping cart on top of it.
"Let's start with vegetables."
I saw what I wrote on my phone. What is lacking is cabbage and spinach.
I took the cabbage one by one and looked at it. Then, Sayaka suddenly said,
"It might be good, right?"
"Eh?"
He took one of the cabbages behind the line. He showed me the cabbage.
The core is not too big, not too small, and the leaves and core have a beautiful color.
"Oh, come on, how do you know that?"
Saika puffed her chest.
"In otome games and gal games that I often play, there is often a detailed description of cooking. I naturally remember them. "
"So so. All right, let's try that one. "
I put Sako's selected cabbage into the shopping cart.
"Next is spinach. Sayaka, I want you to use your skills to choose it for me."
"Yes yes."
Quickly, Sayaka ran to the spinach corner.
After comparing and checking the spinach for a bit, he came back to me.
"I'll take this one."
"'Wow, what's wrong with the heart?"
"First of all, the roots are bright pink, the leaves are darker in color on the front and back, and the stems are strong."
"Okay, I'll take that one."
"By the way, this is what Alan said in the game 'Love Princess Hour' when the main character returned to Japan from another world and went shopping for the first time."
"I didn't really catch that part. But done well."
"Hm."
My brother seems good at it. It's great to show off the knowledge you gain from your hobby. I can understand that feeling.
