"What do you two plan to do after this?

After finishing a series of stories, each ordered his favorite beverage from the clerk, then Maple asked the two of them that.

They don't have any particular thoughts about their plans for the rest of this, so they both look at each other.

About two hours after we left the house.

When I check the current time, it's almost twelve o'clock.

In the end, Maple, who hasn't been able to buy the product you're looking for in the upstairs store because of earlier noise, seems to come back and buy it after this.

Shizuku also said that the store was concerned, so I guess he wanted to make sure he was coming with me.

That would be good, but if you continue shopping here this afternoon, I'd like to have lunch.

This big facility, naturally, has a food court on the seventh floor, but at this time every store will be full of like-minded people.

"I don't have any plans."

"I... well, I'm going to take a look at some of the stores earlier, but nothing else in particular"

Maple nods at the two answers and shows them, then turns his gaze to this one.

I'm going home.

"... I didn't ask your brother"

... This is rude.

I was wondering if you'd even ask me.

"... then what?

"I'm done shopping today at an earlier store, too, so why don't you guys go back to your homes and dine together?

…………

That's a hassle.

I can definitely go home faster than to eat out, but I can't even rest calmly if the two of you are still home after I get home.

The two of us sitting across the street, of course, were listening to our brothers and sisters talking, and they were both looking at me half-eyed.

I'm sure it's because you think I'm going to turn down the maple proposal.

"... ok, then let's go home"

"" Ooh......!

"What the..."

What are those eyes...

But even tomorrow I plan on getting on the train for a long time, walking around, getting tired of being in the crowd.

I don't want to walk around any more.

Then it's still better to stay home at all.

Ignoring Shizukuishi and Kirasaka, who seem surprised, I drank up melon soda all at once that I hadn't drunk as I asked.

"Your brother is this way, mine is this way"

The four of us come back upstairs to show me a product that Maple likes.

I'm the blue mug, and the maple is the pink mug in the same shape.

I was wondering if I was going to make it something more unusual in shape and color, but not like that. It was a very normal mug.

It's a little bigger than the one I always use and seems just right given its ease of use and size.

"Isn't that good?

"Then I'll make this one."

With my consent, Maple takes those two to the cashier in the back of the store.

In the meantime, I'll check on the two of you behind me.

"Is that a horse?

"Isn't that Roba?

That's what they were talking about as they stared at the shelves where many items of figurines made of glass were placed.

I look at the product as well, but there was one product that did not know if it was a horse or a robot.

"You can either..."

"No, this is a horse"

"I think it's Roba!

Two people sticking together for something that doesn't matter.

Seeing those two, I sighed unexpectedly, this is what Maple, who somehow finished accounting, told the two of them to stick together.

"Oh, they say that's an Okapi figurine."

"... Okapi?

"... Okapi?

"... what the hell"

It's not a horse, it's not a loba, it's an okapi.

Out of the store where the figurines were kept, there are probably other people besides us who have been deceived, we go straight down to the first floor with an escalator.

Proceed back down the road where you came from the first floor aisle, and when you exit from the front entrance and exit of the building, a comforting breeze strokes your skin.

I felt a little refreshed when I stretched my body wide and breathed air all over my chest when there were so many people and I was about to catch my breath.

From now on, the four of us are going to go back to my house next to one station and have a little late lunch.

To get back on the train naturally, when we try to walk out to the station, a car running down the road stops right in front of me.

"I'm here to pick you up, lady."

"Thanks Jii"

It was one grandfather who came out of the parked car.

Dressed in a black suit with many wrinkles on his face, he smiled gently and thanked us with a beautiful attitude.

Maple and Shizuku meet for the first time, but I've met them before.

He was the one driving the car when Kirosaka came to the house at Golden Week.

"Long time no see, Kuroi."

"This has been a long time, Master True Good"

The grandfather... I bow down to Kuroi and say hello.

Mr. Kuroi also remembered me, and he was bowing over here again.

"Jii, I'm sorry, Makoto. Please come to your house."

"Yes, sir. All aboard."

When Kuroi heard what Kirasaka said, he drove us in.

Kuroi gave us a ride home. We were only a stop away and we were able to get home sooner than planned.

That's the limo...... I'll let you ride it again next time.

My seat was like a couch and it felt good.

I thank Kuroi, and when he walks into the house and early Maple, Shizukuishi and Kirasaka stand in the kitchen side by side, he starts cooking with pleasure.

I decided not to go back to my room, fall asleep on the couch, rest my body, and wait for dinner.

If I go back to my room, I'll probably get a blast of sleep as it is.

Sleep appetite and appetite, which I took seriously, led me to come up with the best idea that if I slept in the living room, I could cook and wake you up right away.

I relieved myself of sleeping cravings and was conscious, and the maple that finished cooking woke me up as expected, so I could eat a ready meal.

If I'd been sleeping in a futon in my room, I wouldn't have been able to wake up like this, and the food would have cooled down a little.

Afterwards, the sun went down as I watched Maple, Shizukuisha, and Kirasaka enjoying cards and more in the living room as they uttered on the couch behind them.

"See you tomorrow"

"Sorry to bother you!

Before it got completely dark today, you two were supposed to come home from our house.

"... bye."

"Yes, come back!

Me and Maple suddenly get quiet in the house when we drop them off at the front door.

"... you're quiet"

"Right...... I'm going to bed early today"

"I will do the same......"

I hate to be noisy, but I also hate to suddenly get quiet.

Suddenly, I feel like I'm getting cold.

Me and Maple took a bath in turn and decided to get ready for tomorrow by talking a little in the living room and then going to bed early.

"... Is it going to rain if I disagree with the kid who's...?

It doesn't do any good, it's just silly, but just in case I decided to hang a kid who's tissued and homemade at the window before going to bed.
