"Shizukuishi, are you okay?

Oneechan standing in front of the front door peeks at me worriedly.

A few days after my sister and I invaded the mountainous area, including Elaine. Finally, the day has come for me to go out with my sister.

After a few years of shopping, and seeing me nervous about shopping alone with my sister, you thought I was sick. "If you can't do it again?".

It's okay. Let's go.

On the other hand, I think I was able to give it back to you even though I was feeling tight... I'm not very confident, but I can't go back.

Anyway, they say the purpose of today is to clear the file, but I really want to buy oneechan a birthday present. If we miss this day, we don't have a chance anymore, and we have to go anyway.

Even if I do everything I can today....!

"Really? I hope so."

I wonder if you want so many clear files, but while you mumble at the strange things, oneechan opens the front door.

As soon as I saw the direct sunlight that illuminated me, I quickly turned right and wanted to go home.

No, why does the world have the sun anymore? In the meantime, it should still be spring, but I don't usually get any sunlight at all. It's spicy. It's melting.

Yes, Shizukuishi

With that in mind, oneechan handed me a small folding umbrella.

Oneechan giggles as she looks at me with a neat, silly face.

"It's a present for Shizukuishi, who will be out in a long time. I hope you like it."

"Ugh!!"

It's getting worse.

I was going to give it to you today, but I can't believe I'm going further.

With regret and even more joy, I know my face burns hot, and I hide my face with the umbrella I just got.

With an umbrella that's not even open, you won't be able to hide it at all.

"Come on, let's go, Shizukuishi!

"Uh-huh...."

Oneechan pulls her hand and goes out.

The open umbrella has a cute floral pattern and is quite tasteful. Oneechan didn't use it as a pain umbrella because she likes animation.

"What do you think? I was wondering if I should be the one with the animated characters, but I didn't have any pictures that Shizukuishi liked, so I chose this one."

Correction, this sister really meant to be a pain umbrella. I don't know where the store is, Nice.

If you hide your heart and say, "It's not bad," oneechan laughs happily.

"So, which store are you going to?

"... a department store nearby"

Well, here we go.

Oneechan pulls her hand and walks out.

I was embarrassed and tried to let go, but I was rejected because I was in trouble if I got lost. Kids.

... well, I don't hate it.

Walking with such thoughts in mind, you realize that the surrounding town is quite different from what you remember.

I feel a little lonely when I see the shop I've used several times turning into a different sign. Every time you see an unfamiliar store, your inner curiosity draws your attention.

"The convenience store over there was built two years ago. The previous bookstore, the department store didn't absorb me!"

"Hmm...."

If you can discern my manners, I'll explain it to you and your sister.

I'm impressed with all kinds of things, such as how you remember it well, and don't notice it well, but I don't seem to be interested in your mouth overflowing with such a feeling.

I don't think this kind of thing is very good... but it's difficult inside.

Besides, seeing oneechan happy with my little reaction makes me sweet.

After all, Oneechan's neighbor feels so comfortable.

"Here we are, Shizukuishi!

After that, I kept walking slowly to my snail-like pace and finally got to the neighborhood department store.

If you close your umbrella and go inside, you'll see a wave of people overflowing with holidays.

I haven't been good at places like this for a long time... but I can only buy what I want here...

With such a conflict, oneechan's hand holding me increased a little.

Clear file is a store reward? Where do you buy it?

I was making a fool of myself by saying "too little" in my mind when I was braved by such trivial things. To deceive myself like that, I walked out with the momentum to overtake oneechan.

"I'm going to buy it at the bookstore because it comes with the books. Let's go."

"Ah, wait, Shizukuishi, this way if it's a bookstore!

…………

I don't usually come to the department store, so I made a mistake. I had no choice but to take Oneechan's lead to the bookstore.

After all, from the discovery of the product to the purchase process, oneechan made me do it all. * giggle *

"I'll give you the money..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I've been dating Shizukuishi for a long time and that's enough for me."

"Ah, not a date! A line like that makes more money than I do!

"Ufuu!?

To the oneechan who tries to buy (correct?) When I hit it, it collapsed to throw up blood. Apparently, I was quite concerned that my video and blog ad revenue was losing out on part-time earnings.

... rather, if you lose to oneechan doing chores with school, I'll tell you what I'm doing. There was something I couldn't give up as a sister.

Well, the fact that I'm a little rich is an unshakeable fact. Oneechan should be very luxurious to me.

Well, I bought it in the first place.

"Ugh... I can't believe I can't afford to buy Shizukuishi... I guess I'll give it to you in earnest..."

My sister murmurs about such a bump.

Are you serious...? No, yeah, maybe it's oneechan and I mean it. Well, it's fine.

"Well, I was able to buy what I wanted, but do you still want to see Shizukuishi?

"That's...."

I just wanted to say... for oneechan's birthday gift, but I can't face oneechan personally. I'm ashamed to die.

But that's why oneechan won't admit that I'm going alone... well, what should I do? Should I have come alone?

Though I started worrying so much about things now, I didn't have to think that far. Suddenly, oneechan makes her look stronger.

"Oh, sorry, Shizukuishi, a little toilet! Can you sit on that bench and wait for me?

"... yeah, okay."

Sorry! And oneechan rushes out looking for a place with a toilet.

I dropped it off with a flickering wave of hands and quickly walked away from the bench.

"Now's your chance without oneechan....!

What to buy is actually decided beforehand. I found that accessory shop on my way to the bookstore, and then I just need to buy it in the absence of my sister!

I think so, I jumped into the shop where I found it, and while I was warm, I found the object and wrapped it beautifully. I was in a bit of a hurry because I was in a hurry, but I couldn't help it.

I managed to buy it, and then I hurried out of the shop just to get back to the bench I was on....

"Yikes!?

"Oops."

I bump into someone and put a butt mochi on the spot.

Exhaling relieved that the bag of necklaces I bought was safe, I raised my face... and there was a tough old man wearing sunglasses.

That man, like Yakuza with sunburned pale black skin, is too intimidating for me to confront alone, even with a retractable idea.

"Don't you dare, little lady, take a good look ahead and walk."

"Ah... uhh..."

Looking down from above, my whole body trembled.

I can't hear a single voice with my sharp eyes peeking from behind the sunglasses.

"What are you talking about?

A thick arm, like a log, is slightly lent to me.

Scared, scared, somebody, help, somebody....!

"Oni-chan...."

"Shizuku!!

"Nh!!

As I raised my face to be played by the voices I heard, there was a sister rushing in and out of breath.

When I see it, I run towards you with a lot of momentum.

"Nh...!

"Whoa... Shizukuishi, I was worried, where have you been!? Are you all right?

Oneechan asks quickly as she holds me in her arms.

But I couldn't afford to answer that, and I was just asking for oneechan's warmth to restrain my trembling body.

"What about you?

"Ah... I'm sorry, I bumped into you a little bit, I thought I'd apologize, but on the contrary, I seem to have scared you... okay?

The man said sorry to his sister, who looked at me and asked me in a hard tone sometime.

Afraid to turn around, the man does scratch his head and lower his hips.

... when you look at it like a normal person who's just scared. I am ashamed of my appearance and frightening.

"Really... I'm sorry, my sister"

"No, I'm fine. Are you okay?

"Eh... and..."

But I'm scared, and I can't talk to you face to face. When I stuck to oneechan by accident, she answered in my place.

"It seems okay. Now if you'll excuse me."

Oneechan, with her head slightly lowered, walks out holding me.

He stroked his head and spoke to me with a smile that reassured the viewer.

"Here, Shizukuishi. It's okay now."

... oh, this is it, oneechan.

You always come right next to me when you want me.

Because you're such a sister, I....

"By the way, Shizukuishi, why are you here alone...? What's wrong with that?

Looking at the bag I gave you, oneechan leans her neck.

Still, I pushed it anyway.

"Birthday present... for oneechan"

Listening to my fading voice, oneechan became stiff on the spot for a while.

Afterwards, oneechan shouted love in public and swore never to come near this department store again.
