Shopping Mall

UmiriWhere should we start, Misumi-san?

UikaLet's see... It's been a while since I've been to a mall, so I kind of want to look around a bit.

UmiriSounds good. Work wrapped earlier than planned, and we still have time before we need to be at the next location.

UikaThen why don't we take our time and wander around?

UmiriYes. Let's go.

Luxury Brand Store

UmiriEverything on this shelf, please.

UikaHuh? The whole shelf?!

High-End Jewelry Store

UmiriThe new collection as a set, please.

UikaOh...

Popular Lifestyle Goods Store

UmiriFrom here to here, please. And yes, every color variant too.

UikaUm... Umiri-chan?

UmiriYes?

UikaDon't you think you might be buying a little too much...? I mean, look at all these bags.

UmiriIt has a nice weight to it. It really feels like I bought something.

UmiriThe heavier the bags, the lighter my stress gets. Well, it is also just a reward for myself.

UikaA reward?

UmiriFor surviving exam period.

UikaWell, I guess that makes sense.

UmiriNow that you mention it, you have not bought anything yet, Misumi-san. Was there nothing you wanted?

UikaAhaha... I guess I couldn't really find the right moment...

UmiriThe moment you want to buy something is the time to buy it. A big shopping spree can be very refreshing.

UikaBut are you really okay buying that much?

UmiriYes. My arms can still carry more.

UikaThat is not what I meant...

UmiriIf you mean money, there is no need to worry about that either. I manage my finances properly.

UikaYou do?

UmiriI used to have income from support gigs too... But now I am focused solely on Ave Mujica.

UmiriI set a spending limit, then make full use of it.

UikaI see...

Uika(Maybe I do not need to stop her, then. Umiri-chan seems to be enjoying herself.)

Uika(And... even though I am only watching, I am starting to feel a little refreshed too.)

UmiriOh, Misumi-san, look at this. It is a mechanical pencil in Doloris' colors.

UikaOh, you're right.

UmiriDid you not say you wanted a new mechanical pencil?

UikaI did. The one I have now broke... Wow, this is cute.

UmiriMisumi-san. When you want to buy something... That is "the time" to buy it.

UikaR-Right...! You're right.

UikaI'll go check out, then...!
