28 2.5- Spending Time (1/2)
”Pervert...” I finished the sentence before Kagome had managed to finish her's while she slowly lowered her arm down. I was closing my eyes tight as I expected a slap to descend on my face but instead, she poked her finger at my forehead.
”Toing... Toing... Toing...” well, I supposed how it would have sounded in the anime world or rather ”Thud... Thud... This...” if its in the real world. Nevertheless, let's decide on the former sounds as Kagome stabbed her right forefinger on my forehead while standing bent with her left hands on her hips; at the same time pouting her lips...
”I didn't say that OK, but you were the one who finished up my unfinished sentence. And you didn't reply anything that I had asked you before...” she stood up straight with both arms across her ample breasts, making it jut out a bit more with that kind of posture.
”No, don't be mad OK. I swear I didn't see anything except for a flash of white that was blinding my eyes and make me squint. Really I didn't see anything... How would I and how could I have seen anything if I had kept my eyes closed during that time.” I smirked at her and stood up, brushing off invisible dirt off my butt. I carried my satchel bag and walked off in front of her. I stopped a few steps ahead and looked back and found that she was walking slowly and looking down at her feet as if she was counting her steps as she walked.
She ended up beside me and I held out my right hand to her. ”Eh...? What is this for?” she blushingly asked me. ”Just hold my hands in case either one would trip and fall just like earlier. At least if you trip I could still save you. Likewise for me too. Who knows the Director may have planted a pebble right at my foot so that I lose my balance and made me bang into you unintentionally.” I explained while still extending my hand to her.
She sheepishly took my hand in hers and walked back. Her grip was subtle like as if she was just using her fingers to hold my hand. No entwining of fingers, no fully contact with both palms... Just a light feeling of her fingers within me that's all.

I changed the subject and asked her about what she gonna shop at the convenience store afterwards. We walked over to Fukutoku Food Akiba Store and entered the butcher shop. After picking a few packets of different cuts of meat, we paid at the counter and headed to another store.
Next, we walked over to a Yakiniku Restaurant named Gyuan and bought three packets of Ramen with separate gravy. One for the each of us so we could reheat them in the microwave to consume later for dinner.
Next, we sauntered over to ”Maxvalu Shimizu Yasaka Shop” where it was a rather large single storey supermarket. I was wondering why we were walking in circles instead of heading to this place first, then to the meat shop and then to the Yakiniku Restaurant. Maybe this is how the Director wants us to walk in order to waste time and accumulate word count as well as spend more time bonding with the Kenzo character with Kagome. Hehehe.
Upon reaching the Maxvalu Shimizu Yasaka Shop we surrendered our purchase made earlier to the baggage counter along with our satchels and I proceeded to take a wheeled trolley with me. We picked out the items from the list that Kagome's mother had prepared and I can't help to view all the niceties that they store held especially befitting for a schoolgirl like Kagome. I pushed the trolley into the novelty items section and found that Kagome began to hold certain items in her hand and placing it back on the shelves.
In psychological terms, she had a desire to own the items that she held for more than 10seconds and inspecting the price, quality and such before returning it back to the shelf. ”Why don't you pick the ones that you like?” I said while I was looking at the item that she had hold initially. ”I don't want you to treat me like an” Osanai Musume” or ”little girl”. ”she shyly replied before she turned red like a beet.
”Obviously she wanted to be treated like a small girl after all.” I thought to myself and smiled at her at the same time making a rather comical face. She laughed at me and turned her face to hide her embarrassment. It was like this, between the two of us, poking fun and strolling in the departmental store, oblivious with the shoppers around like as if we owned the place and there are only two persons in the whole store.
We paid up eventually for all the remaining groceries and retrieve our earlier purchased goods and our satchel bag. Since my bag had a long strap attached, I slip the strap across my forehead and carried most of the heavy grocery bags while Kagome carried those lighter ones which were the 3 packets of Ramen and the mixed meat cuts from the butcher.
We made our way slowly walking back as we passed our schoolyard and towards ”House no.8, 1-Chome-5-Ote, Shimizu Ku” where she lived as the landlord while me being the tenant. We reached our home around 15mins time as passerby greeted Kagome along the way as she recognized them as the tenants that were staying at house no. 8.
