That was Shinobu’s punishment for thanking only Fina and Ruimin and excluding Shuri. She has to choose her words a little more carefully when she speaks.
Even after finishing the shaved ice, they continue to visit other stores.
“These clothes are all beautiful.” (Fina)
Fina divulged her impressions of the kimono.
I would love to see Fina and the other two in kimonos. I said I would buy it for them, but Fina shook her head when she saw how expensive it was. So I couldn’t buy it for Shuri or Ruimin either.
I’m not Eleanora-san, but I’m tempted to dress up Fina like she’s a doll.
As we were walking while taking in the sights and sounds of the city, I heard a Chiri ~ n, Chiri ~ n out of nowhere. Fina seemed to hear it too, and uttered such words…
“It sounds beautiful.” (Fina)
“Where is it?” (Shuri)
“It’s coming from over there.” (Ruimin)
Ruimin pointed to a stall with wind chimes hanging from it.
There’s a food stall in front of us with many wind chimes hanging from the stall. Whenever the wind blows, it brings the sound of wind chimes to us.
“Those are wind chimes(ssu).”
My and Shinobu’s words overlapped.
“Wind chimes?” (Fina)
“It’s made of glass, and it plays the tone with the wind.” (Yuna)
“Yuna, why are you so familiar with it? You also know natto, you even ate it without any worries. Are you perhaps from this country?” (Shinobu)
“No, it’s not. It’s a country similar to this country. There’s a country far away that is similar to this country.” (Yuna)
“A country similar to the Land of Harmony? I would like to go there.” (Shinobu)
I could not respond to her words.
Shinobu and I went to the three. The three were looking at the beautiful colors and listening to the sounds of the wind chimes.
“Hey there, pretty girls. What do you think, wanna buy some? I’ll be here for a while, so why don’t you ask your parents?” (Man)
“Oneechan.” (Shuri)
Shuri wants it. But Fina was in trouble. She’s someone who’s tight on her pocket.
“How about that cute bear girl, for your sister?” (Man)
To sell it to me without worrying about my outfit, that’s what I’d expect from a businessman. By the way, Fina and Shuri were not my sisters. Shuri, who people often mistook to be my sister, was looking at me.
I can’t say no here.
“I’ll buy it for you.” (Yuna)
“Really!” (Shuri)
Shuri looked happy. I can’t win against that smile. Fina, who was standing next to Shuri, was looking at me.
“Yuna-oneesan. Don’t spoil Shuri too much…” (Fina)
I know I’m sweet to her, but Fina and Shuri were such good girls that I’m tempted to buy them each.
“It’s not for Shuri. It’s a souvenir for Tirumina-san. I am always indebted to her, so this is my way of thanking her.” (Yuna)
Put it this way; Fina should have no resistance.
Fina happily said, “I understand,” and began to select wind chimes with Shuri.
“Ruimin, you can also choose which wind chime to display at Mumroot-san’s and your house.” (Yuna)
“Are you sure?” (Ruimin)
“I owe a lot to Mumroot-san and Ruimin.” (Yuna)
I was the one who created the reason for getting them involved. I’m grateful to Mumroot-san, but the fact that Ruimin was in danger remains the same. Well, I don’t think Mumroot-san will refuse a thank you when I’m the one saying it. However, I don’t think there’s any problem if I give them wind chimes as souvenirs.
“Then I’ll pay for it. Fina also helped me a lot, but I haven’t said my thanks to Mumroot-san.” (Shinobu)
“Grandpa told me I could go see Sakura-chan, but not to accept any gratuities.” (Ruimin)
Ruimin, who was listening to what Shinobu was saying, waved her hand in gesture and declined Shinobu’s offer.
I think it’s okay for at least a wind chime, but there’s a chance that they may be offended if she brought it home.
“Shinobu already treated us to a meal, so this time, I’ll pay for the souvenirs.” (Yuna)
Besides, I would not be able to give them the items paid for by Shinobu as a souvenir from me. Therefore, this time it was to be paid by me.
“Shuri, isn’t this good?” (Fina)
“Eh~, I like this one better.” (Shuri)
“Yes, that’s nice too.” (Fina)
“I wonder if there’s one here?” (Ruimin)
“Is there a bear? I want a bear.” (Shuri)
