Chapter 7 (2/2)
「Yasutaka-san…… Aoi-san…… Takashi+-san…… Thank you very much for today I’ll definitely pay back the money you spent here someday……」
Declaring so, Eru bowed deeply towards the three
When Eru crossed over to this world, she had some silver and copper coins on her but neither can it be used as it is nor do they kno much it would be worth in this world
That’s why, the cost of today’s shopping wasin a little bit
This is influenced by the buying power of those who do or don’t have jobs here
Wearing the translation earring, Aoi interpreted Eru’s words to Yasutaka and Takashi+
「Don’t worry about it This happened because we’re connected by so, is what I think」 (Yasutaka)
「That’s right It hasn’t been long but, our bond still important」 (Aoi)
「Besides, it’s been pro worlds would be gentle and try to be helpful, you know?」 (Takeshi+)
「……Yes!」
Though tears welled up on the corners of her eyes, Eru was s The truth is that she really felt she was lucky
Her first encounter since being transferred to another world ith Yasutaka
If it was a cruel person that appeared, she could have been sold as a slave without even asking questions or, at worst, be violent with her then and there Thinking about it that way, it really was good fortune that Yasutaka was the first one to appear And everyone she h him, received her favourably This, too, could really only be called good fortune
While thanking such good fortune, Eru wiped the tears on her eyes with her fingertip and, once again, smiled at them
✧
On their way back after they finished buying groceries, Yasutaka re
「Oh yeah, Aoi I pro you want?」
「Eh? I, it doesn’t have to be today, you know? You spent quite a lot today, didn’t you? It’d be fine to get it after your receive your next pay」
「N? What are you talking about?」 (Takashi+)
Yasutaka explained to Takashi+ about his proful glance at Aoi, whose cheeks turned red and eyes were swi
「Hoh Heeeh Fuun[4]」
「W, what? Got so to say?」
「Nope, not reeaaally I just thought you tried real hard Well, good for you, huh?」
「S, shut up!!」
Aoi continuously hit Takashi+’s back with her fists Her cheeks were redder than before
Watching the two’s bickering, Yasutaka and Eru looked at each other ry smiles
「As always, they sure do get along well」
「Dādil Sū Zāin」
Even without the translation earring, Yasutaka vaguely understood what Eru said
Right now, she was probably feeling the same as him
「Alright alright, it’s ti around and decide on what you want, Aoi」
When Yasutaka called out to Aoi as still hitting Takashi+, she turned to him and remembered
「…………Is it really okay? Even if it’s today……?」
「Yeah But, like I said before, nothing too expensive, alright?」
「W, well then……」
Aoi hurriedly looked around
At first, she considered asking for clothes, but then that wouldn’t be any different fro an to think so
Looking around, one of the stores lined up that came into Aoi’s view stood out
「Ah, that one! That one is nice!」
Aoi pointed at a shop then dashed over to it
The store she found, it was an accessory shop that uses natural stones
「This is…… a jeweller’s shop? Uwaa, there are so emstones」 (Eru)
「They’re not high grade ones but…… Well, they look alike though」 (Aoi)
The two looked like they were having fun as they picked up bracelets and pendants Even froirls Yasutaka, atching the girls look at accessories leisurely, got his side elbowed by Takashi+ as beside him
「Is it fine to use that et a motorbike and license?」
「It’s fine Because the school doesn’t allow it, I can’t get a license till I graduate anyway I can save up for the motorbike slowly」
At the high school the three go to, it’s against school regulations to take a inally prohibited for students to work part time, but because of Yasutaka’s current circuiven special permission to work part-time under the condition that he is e time
It seeed that it would be more convenient to work for an acquaintance, where he could be watched over by an adult, rather than be left alone without his parents
While Yasutaka and Takashi+ were having such a conversation, Aoi decided what she wanted to buy When they approached Aoi who beckoned, she happily held out the merchandise to Yasutaka
「This! I like this one!」
The item Aoi held out to Yasutaka was a bracelet that adorned by crystals and an amethyst as a charm point
「Hee That’s pretty nice, huh? The price is reasonable and it suits you, Aoi」 (Yasutaka)
「Y, you think so?」
With slightly red cheeks, Aoi looked abash and happy
While Takashi+ atching the two, he got an idea
「Oh yeah! Since it’s coet for four people?」
「What do you mean?」
「Wai-, Takashi+! What are you proposing all of a sudden!?」
Yasutaka looked curious while Aoi seemed a bit flustered
As for the other one, Eru still see at the merchandise
「It’s to co bracelets of the san for four people? Ah, I’ll be the one to buy for myself and Eru-chan I’ll do that ested it And then, Yasutaka for Aoi, and Aoi for Yasutaka, you guys buy for each other How’s that?」
Takashi+’s last words tugged at Aoi’s heartstrings
(Exchanging accessories with the sareat)
「Th, that’s right I, isn’t that fine? It’s to co Eru, after all」 (Aoi)
「But then it wouldn’t h? Each buying for himself wou……」
「I, it’s fine!! I’ll buy the one for Yasutaka!!」
「O, okay……」
Pressured by Aoi’s drive, Yasutaka could only agree
In the end, four bracelets with the saht
The only difference was the color of the stone used as a charm point Their respective colours were, purple for Aoi’s areen for Eru’s peridot, black for Yasutaka’s hematite, and blue for Takashi+’s aqua aura
Looking at bracelets on their wrists, the four people smiled happily
