NOVEL NEXT Chapter 74: Chapter 71: Buy Four! (Please Follow)
Gazing at the little face brimming with anticipation, Chiba Shimizu hesitated for a moment.
How... should I answer this?
"How is it? Does it work...."
Misaki Saki blinked, her clear eyes filled with the stupidity and ignorance of a girl's full and taut upper body.
A perfect figure is achieved by eating papaya?
"Hmm... I don't know, I haven't tried it, but from a scientific standpoint, it probably doesn't work."
Chiba Shimizu, after all, was not one to tell even a white lie; this kind of thing still troubled the image of a beautiful young girl.
"Ah? It doesn't work? Really not even a little bit? Not even a tiny bit?"
Misaki Saki stretched out her two fingers, gesturing, "Just a teeny-weeny bit of effect."
The action was full of childish charm, along with her youthful face, where did... this little girl come from?
Unfortunately, the girl's cool gaze already said it all,
No use...
Suddenly, in Misaki Saki's vision, even the sky seemed to have turned a desolate gray,
The energetic appearance she had just moments ago, instantly faded, listless...
The cell phone poking out of the pocket of the girl's overalls caught Chiba Shimizu's eye. The screen prominently displayed an online shopping order:
[Buy fresh papaya X10]
...
Can they still return it after buying?
Never having shopped online, this entered Chiba Shimizu's blind spot of knowledge,
A gentle breeze drifted by, lifting strands of her silver hair slightly. The girl reached out her slender finger and tucked her hair behind her ear,
Indeed, discussing whether papayas could bring joy while walking the community streets really didn't suit her.
Her cool gaze turned towards the tall figure walking ahead,
Perhaps... the person ahead would be very interested in this topic?... Sometimes, she inadvertently discovered that these two individuals had quite a bit in common.
Haruka Yuzan and Misaki Saki? Regarding the topic at hand, they certainly could have had a long conversation about it?
Huh?
Haruka Yuzan glanced around curiously, why did he feel like someone was cursing him?
Turning his head, he saw the delicate figure of the beautiful girl and the exposed soft and smooth calves – a delightful sight.
Especially in contrast to Misaki Saki, whose style suddenly changed.
Comparing them...
Hmm... it must have been Misaki Saki cursing him inwardly just now...
Little She-Devil!
Haruka Yuzan seemed long accustomed to the girl's ability to seamlessly switch states,
Wait until they reached the supermarket, and she would revive on the spot, full of energy again.
As for what caused it? Maybe it was the beautiful woman they just passed by? Did the comparison strike her?
Haruka knew that madam; she also lived in the community, reportedly with a child who had just turned two months old... Tsk...
Besides, what else could fill Misaki Saki's head, that repository of useless thoughts?
Sixty percent rubble, thirty percent wondering what to eat today, and ten percent expertise in slacking off and staying up late.
A being of simple construct...
Suddenly, a chibi version of the girl popped into Haruka Yuzan's head, babbling on and on...
It was a sin, truly, to think of Misaki in such a way.
....
"Yes!"
The community supermarket,
The little girl excitedly waved her fist in the air, "Let's see which lucky melon gets to come home with me today!!!"
Before her was a row of watermelons just delivered this morning from Iwaken.
Green with black patterns, albeit looking a bit small, but the price next to them was not small at all.
1,599 yen!
At the crossover of late spring and early summer, it was not the peak season for watermelons, and given the high cost of fruit in Japan, this price was expected.
Yet, the girl didn't seem to care about the staggering price; she squatted down and patted the watermelons, clearly curious,
"Why are these watermelons so mini?"
Is one enough for four people?
Then... let's buy four! Each person holding one and digging in with a spoon, that's the way to enjoy it!!!
"The price of fruit is precious...
At that moment, Reiko Onodera also came over. She glanced at the shocking price tag, hesitating, before slowly speaking,
"Maybe... we should just buy one. It's too expensive."
Chiba Shimizu followed behind without saying a word, her cool gaze fixated on the watermelons in the crate on the ground,
As for such practical knowledge, the young lady didn't have a clear concept, so she wouldn't easily state her opinion.
The early morning supermarket was bustling with many people eager to purchase the freshest ingredients.
The young lady stood there, somewhat out of place in her surroundings, her slim figure and beautiful face watering eyes and attracting quite a lot of attention.
"How can one be enough, let's get four!"

With surprising words, Misaki Saki raised her fingers to show the number four, her naive expression almost startling the madam,
"Four is too many, it's a waste of money. The price of watermelons might drop a little in a few days..."
Reiko Onodera firmly shook her head. Even though it was Misaki Saki who would pay, the madam still first thought of the girl's best interest.
"They're so small, one definitely won't be enough..." Misaki Saki looked as if money was no object to her, "I have money!!"
After saying this, she patted her waist regretfully, not able to flaunt a wallet on the spot.
In the end, they compromised and only bought two watermelons. In the words of the young lady, one for each of them was perfect too.
No, wait, she would eat three-quarters and leave only a quarter for Haruka Yuzan!!
Reiko Onodera then went to buy some fresh vegetables and meats, while Misaki Saki carried the watermelons toward the cash register alone.
