Chapter 26 - Shopping Rhapsody (4) (1/2)

A lot of shops targeting female customers were lined up side by side in the D building.

There were more than tens of stores that sold various clothes, cosmetics and accessories etc.

There was also a nail salon, a beauty salon, and even a sweet shop inside the stylish cafe.

One of them was a baby goods specialty store.

I imagined that store to have a bright interior oriented towards toddlers, decorated with POP typeface and have a sickly-sweet atmosphere.

However, expectation always easily surpasses reality.

The store was sparkling.

From luxury baby brands, to surprisingly, baby goods of brands that everyone knows.

Besides maternity goods, there was even underwear with “Even pregnant women want to shine” inscribed on it.

Hey, do you not feel ashamed with that type of underwear?

Let me say this, I’ll never come in by myself.

Even entering through the front was quite nerve-wracking.

If you ever get lost because of some mistake, you’ll incur the concentrated fire of all the customer’s beams.

You’ll be killed by an uncomfortable feeling!!

Men were a rare existence in this entire D building.

In other words, it was a woman’s barrier.

It instigated the shame of all men, rejecting to face sensitivity face on.

Of course, there seemed to be a lot of customers who were couples in the surrounding area.

Or rather, way too many.

Most of the duos were male and female pairs, and sometimes families with children could be seen.

There was only one thing in common.

Every male customer looked like they were enduring something.

“This, this is cute! It’ll definitely suit Nana and Jaja! Hey, hey Kunpei-san, please look!”

I picked up the tiny cloth small enough to mistake it for a handkerchief, and Aoi was in high spirits.

Of course, it was not a handkerchief but an overall for infants and young children. There was Body All written on it in POP typeface.

It had a cute rabbit print on it and a rabbit ear hood.

I wouldn’t get it if a rabbit tribe bought this.

“Yeah, it’s quite cheap, why not buy it?”

“No, there are definitely cuter things! Don’t compromise on this.”

Why did you ask if you were going to deny?

“Why don’t we buy a stroller first? Since we have stuff when going back, we can’t just keep carrying them.”

We’ve already been in this store for an hour.

Aoi’s tension has been continuously rising.

But the only things that we decided to buy were accessories. A pacifier to bite on and a feeding bottle. A sterilization machine is under consideration.

Nana and Jaja were already sleeping.

Jaja was in my arm, and Nana was in Aoi’s arm. They were both peacefully breathing during their sleep.

They are sleeping quite well in this bustling crowd.

“Ah, that’s right”

Aoi who returned to me surveyed the interior of the store.

There was a stroller corner in the back of the store in a large space next to the checkout register.

“It’s over there.”

Are you also interested in the surrounding products? Aoi moved towards the corner while restlessly shifting her line of sight.

Shouhei was sitting on the bench outside of the store and fiddling with his phone in a bad mood.

It was steadily becoming worse.

“Oh! Are they twins! How cute!”

A plump and gentle looking female employee of the fox tribe approached us.

“Eh? Ah, yes…”
