Episode 120: Year-end shopping
After sending Jessica back to her apartment from the café, she returned to the tank base.
In the front yard, my brother was waving a stick while Shure watched him.
"Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful! ”
Watching him swing his stick wholeheartedly, writhing from time to time, I felt that his body was more solid than when he first arrived at the base.
I felt like my originally curled back was getting a little bigger, but as far as we were concerned, it was basically bent over.
As I watched my brother swing his stick desperately, I felt like I was not so long ago.
Remember, this time last year, the village of Azka was covered in snow earlier than usual, and I was wielding an iron rod with all my heart.
"At that time, I didn't expect that my brother, who had been lying at home, would wield a stick like this."
"I tend to skip training these days, so I'll have Shure help me from tomorrow."
I tried to cross the edge of the front yard so as not to disturb my brother, but Shure got closer.
"It's kind of scary"
"Hua Wuming Liar"
"Niya, it's not cheating or anything like that uh, it's not Shure's"
"The soap doesn't smell the same as Leila's, who are you hanging out with?"
"No, that's"
"You shouldn't be able to stay in the school dorm, right, then, who is that person?"
"I'll keep it quiet!"
From the feint that slipped past Shure, who was slowly closing the distance, he jumped diagonally backwards, using the steps to escape upwards.
Sure enough, Shure expected that this height was dangerous, and Shure's fingers brushed the tip of his tail.
When I climbed onto the roof of the base and looked back, Shure was panting and clasping his arms while my brother shrugged in surprise.
No, I didn't date Schuler, and I don't remember signing an exclusive pillow contract.
"My brother's hair is much better, so I want him to live the life he loves."
Come to think of it, my brother was already very tired after eating the goblin's heart yesterday, but he could swing the stick like this, and it could be regarded as rest.
Sure enough, Schuller didn't treat his brother in that state as a toy.
After returning to my room through the skylight and changing clothes, I cleaned up the laundry buildup in the bathroom.
This time, I finished the cleaning with a drum washing machine with a stirring magic array.
Wash with warm water and soap, then rinse thoroughly.
Only one part of the drum has separate drainage and water supply parts, so the rinse is completed smoothly.
The finished product is dried in a magical cycle of hot air.
"When I was doing the laundry, I put away my brother's clothes, but his clothes were torn."
"I didn't get much compliment on my clothes."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my younger brother may also start a new job next year, so it's better to stock up on some clothes that aren't embarrassing.
I called out to my brother at lunch and decided to go shopping for clothes in the afternoon.
"When I wanted to know where to go shopping, Schuler said he would accompany me."
"Instead of walking with the catkins brothers, there is no need to worry about getting entangled."
"Nia, Hua Wuming, please tell me to put it down"
"I'm sorry brother, it's cold today, please bear with me, I'll take Cairo's place."
On the way out of the base to the market, Shure hugged my brother.
"Although he has the physique of a cat man, it is still embarrassing to be held by a woman."
"I've had a lot of trouble so far, so I know how you feel."
"I understand, but I have no intention of replacing him."
Shure seemed to mean something to show me when I got home in the morning, and my brother seemed annoyed by the occasional rubbing of his cheek.
"Yes, this is a picture of an overprotective owner and a nasty-looking cat that I often saw in Huaxia in my previous life."
He struggled to avoid being ridiculed by passers-by, but he seemed to give up halfway.
"I'm not smiling, I'm not smiling at all, so please don't look at me with such resentment."
The street leading to the market is lined with freshly decorated shops and bustling with people.
Unlike the Chinese Christmas lights, they are decorated with brightly colored fabrics dyed in primary colors.
Unlike in Huaxia, you won't hear cacophony of commercial songs, but you can hear energetic sales voices everywhere.
The voices of passers-by seemed to echo.
The city's squares and main streets are filled with stalls, creating a festive atmosphere.
At the departure ceremony, I remember visiting the food stalls with Horacio and I was very excited.
"Thief! He's a thief, catch him! ”
Suddenly a voice sounded in the street, and as soon as I turned around, I saw a giant like a bear, covering his face with a scarf, and running around with a bag on his back.
Behind the man was an old sheep man, running around with a wailing face.
Looking at the template that looked like a picture, I couldn't help but smile wryly.
I spread my hands out and blocked the way of the man who was running towards me.
"That's it, please stop quietly."
"You're in the way, Hua Wuming! It's hahaha. ”
The man pulled a knife from his waist and struck him in the face with a celestial shield, knocking him to the ground.
It seems that he was hurt a lot, as he crashed into it at full speed, and when he got down and tried to get up, he was bleeding from his nose.
"But what is that?"
"Please return the bag obediently."
"Don't be stupid! Kill me quack! ”
The snatcher stood up with a knife in one hand, and I made a stick with celestial magic, stabbing it into the groin, throat, and swallowtail in turn.
"Ga in front of you"
After all, it seems that it is difficult to knock down a bear man who has a better physique than him with his physical attack alone.
Eventually, I suppressed it with a thunderbolt magic array.
"Thank you.
The old shepherd picked up the bag thrown by the bear man, held it in his arms and never let go, bowing his head like a grasshopper eating rice.
Just then, an official who heard the commotion rushed over, and I explained the situation and decided to put the bears responsible.
When I showed my guild card and introduced myself, the canine officer asked after comparing my face to Ka twice.
"Maybe it's the one who caught the robber yesterday?"
"Yes, it's a cake shop robbery."
"Every day is a credit, thank you for your cooperation."
The canine officer saluted me and let me go.
The old shepherd asked me to say something to thank him, but I firmly refused and went back to buy something.
"Hua Wuming, you are really amazing."
"Funun, of course, Hua Wuming is very talented."
"No, I don't know why Schuler is boasting about that."
I told my brother that he was surprised that this was normal because he was a C-class adventurer.
"Shure, can I do the same?"
"Hehe, it depends on your motivation"
Sensing something, he stared at his hands and clenched his fists.
"It doesn't look cool at all, because she's being held like a princess by Shure."
I commissioned Schule to take me to a clothing store, but the first place I was taken to was a women's clothing store.
"Babyia, isn't this a place for women?"
"Since I'm going to teach Fawkes, then I should at least give you some clothes as a gift"
"Mumm"
"A good man can give a woman some advice on coordination"
"Gunununu"
Eventually, Shure persuaded him to enter the store, but he was extremely incompatible with the Willow Brothers.
"Hey, big brother, don't try to hide behind me."
"Nia, Hua Wuming. Even though I was waiting outside."
"Will my brother abandon me?"
"Nana, that's what I'm going to do"
"Giving up, this is also a kind of tempering in life"
"Serious"
As I walked through the store, I hid behind Shure, and my brother hid behind me.
There are two kinds of eyes in the eyes of female customers, one is contemptuous and the other is dismissive when there is an opportunity.
"Hehe, since you want to flirt so much, don't discriminate against cat people."
If I had been hiding behind Schuler, I would not have realized that I had stepped into the forbidden ground.
"Welcome, what are you looking for?"
"Pick something a little flashy, Hua Wuming."
“Myamyah! Let's choose, this is the underwear department."
"Do your best, Hua Wuming."
"Brother..."
After that, I was accompanied for about two hours of test drives.
"Don't ask me which one suits me I'm embarrassed, can I look straight ahead?"
My brother curled up in a corner of the fitting room with his head in his hands, and the clerk looked at me with a smile, so I was more tired than dealing with killer bees.
