I put mayonnaise and eggs in my basket, and I had almost everything I needed to buy. Just taken to the cashier, but as promised, I also stopped by the snack section.
Because you helped me, you can choose whatever you want. "
"Thank you?"
I worry about the mental age of the girl whose eyes sparkle there. However, she seemed to have so much fun choosing snacks that I didn't even want to say that. Candy, potato chips, chocolate. Finally, Sayaka brought me a box of 24-piece chocolates and a Tara-Tara type stick.
"Then, here it is"
He put it in the basket. And I asked.
"Well, the chocolate is fine, but why the stick?"
"Dad said it was a good snack to drink."
"Oh, is this for Dad?"
"Huh?"
I'm not sure why there's a question mark there.
"It's for a drink, right? That's not for you, is it?"
"Of course I don't drink alcohol. But that's for me, of course. I don't know what liquor tastes like, but I'm sure I can eat it in juice."
"Ah, that's why. ......"
I wondered if my sister would be okay after all this time.
Whether he knew it or not I was worried, he quickly walked in front. I carried the wagon while sighing.
After paying the bill, I went to the ground floor.
I noticed there was a sofa at the end of the escalator. I called Sayaka.
"Let's rest here for a while."
"Eh?"
Without waiting for an answer, I put the shopping bag on the chair. It's been almost an hour since we left the house and I think he should have reached his limit.
"I'm hungry and I want to go home."
"It's okay. Your leg hurts, right?"
All the time I shop, I keep thinking about her legs. Every time he started moving, he frowned slightly and walked a little differently than usual.
"Well, that hurts a little. I'm doing fine. Let's go home."
"Don't push yourself too hard. Just sit down."
When I said that, Sayaka reluctantly sat down next to me. I put the reference book I just bought next to him. I pointed at his feet.
"Take off your shoes, I'll check them"
"I don't want to. Why do I have to do it here?"
"Nobody's watching. Let go of it."
"All right."
Sayaka unzipped her short boots. He also took off his socks, and when he was barefoot, the sides of his feet and heels were slightly red. His heel was torn and bleeding.
"If they don't match your feet, return them. These aren't the kind of shoes you want to wear after all of this."
"I thought they would fit my legs after a few wears, but they didn't. You can't buy shoes by postal order anyway."
"You can dress up as you please, but if your feet hurt, it doesn't matter."
I took out gauze and bandages from my grocery bag.
"Eh? When did you get it?"
"When you're in the bathroom. Just a minute."
After wiping the wound with a handkerchief, I attached gauze to the wound. I fixed it with a medical plaster and then wrapped it with a bandage. I also applied the same treatment to the side of the wound.
"You're overreacting."
"I didn't overreact at all. If your foot is injured, it is troublesome. When you shower, you'll feel itchy and your socks are covered in blood."
"Yes yes."
However, if I let her wear her shoes like this, they might come off soon. After putting her socks back on, I gave her a different handkerchief from the one I just gave her.
"Put this on your shoes. It's better than nothing."
"What's? How many handkerchiefs do you have, my asshole brother?"
"I thought you wouldn't have a handkerchief. I just brought you one."
"You're right, it was mine when I saw it"
It should keep one leg. I immediately asked him to show me another.
"What's? Both?"
"of course. It's not normal to have sick shoes on one side."
"Yes, but..."
While complaining, he took off the shoes on the other side. It has the same scar. However, it seems better than the previous one. I put gauze on it and bandaged it with a bandage.
"With that, we're fine"
I put the trash in the bag. However, Sayaka seems unhappy.
"What do you mean, good? After all, so many people are looking at us."
I looked around, and sure enough, some people were looking at us with smiles. The two people, who looked like an old couple, were staring at us and talking calmly. They may have been talking about something like, "There was a time when we did that too".
Sayaka stomped her feet on the spot, checking the taste of her shoes. He also stood up and knocked on his shoes.
"Well, I think it's much better now."
"I think so. You have something to say to me, don't you? "
"What?"
He gave me a sharp look. Then he sighed.
"I don't know if you understand this, annoying brother, but these things aren't meant to be patronizing. No matter what you do, you will never be popular if you act like you want to thank."
"Then be grateful, please."
"That's not the point."
Sayaka, who had a dumbfounded expression on her face, had already walked away. I think he's embarrassed because he's still being watched.
"You're not being honest at all."
I chased after him, thinking that he was the one who couldn't help it.
