Chapter 51 Half Presen
"Next time don't just shout like that again, you really scare me, even Aura-chan got scared too"
I got lump on my head for the second time today, it's really hurt now, the last punch I got in the back is way more painful than the first I got today, but I'm glad I didn't forget to buy Yuika-chan a souvenir too, she must be very happy to get one, I never gave her anything before, but I hope Yuika chan will like this ring I bought for her, I think this ring will go well with her since the color is kind of reflect her hair.
"Do you want to buy your sister some more souvenirs?"
"I guess"
"Hee… I bet she will smack you in the butt for wasting money for souvenirs, she gave you allowance not for that right? I will enjoy the show you are going to give us, hahaha"
*Gasp…
Uncle Alto is totally right, Ilya-nee will mad at me if I waste money like this, but uncle Alto said I don't need to worry about food expenses, so I got no chance to use the money I brought.
"Well, I don't think she will be mad at you if she saw her with us"
Uncle Alto refers to Aura-chan, she still looks happy, it feels like her expression was more cheerful than before, but it seems that it's still hard for her to get any closer to men, she forced herself when she tries the earing before.
"Well, now… Aura-chan, come here"
"Ah, yes?"
Aura-chan come closer to us, but it seems that there's still a distance she can't cross, but she already trying her best, I guess it's fine, her anxiety will disappear as time goes by.
"I will buy something for you know"
Uncle Alto suddenly stops his step in front of a store, it says Celty's, we can't really see what store this is from the outside, it looks like a normal house for me.
"What are you guys still standing there for? come inside"
Uncle Alto is already opening the building's door and told us not to just standing outside.
"Welcome… oh if it isn't Alto, what can I do for you today?"
A middle-aged woman appears from inside the store right after the door bell's ringing,
"Olive-san, I need some good outfit for this lady right here"
Aura-chan still trying to keep a bit of distance to us, maybe if it's with woman, she will be fine, nice work uncle Alto, I understand now why you choose this store.
"Now then, I will leave her to you Olive-san"
"Yeah, leave it to this old lady"
The store lady approach Aura-chan and pull her hand, she looks confused while she turns her face towards us, uncle Alto just waves at her and so I just wave to her too, then, the store lady and Aura-chan disappear inside the store, leaving only me and uncle Alto in the store.
"Then let's just leave it to Olive-san, let's find something for Yuika-chan"
"But we already got 1 for her"
"Yea that one is from her beloved Erwin-Kun, I want to give her something too, I will give you something too"
"Ah.. you want to give a present too, uncle Alto?"
"Something like that, Olive-san… can I leave her to you here for a while? I will be back soon"
"Have a nice trip…."
The store lady peeks out from the clothes in the back and wave to us then slipping back in the clothes on the store.
"Alright, let's go now"
Uncle Alto opens the store and about to leave, I look back for a second, It sounds like the store lady is having fun picking clothes for Aura-chan there, I leave the store with uncle Alto, walking around to find which store to choose.
"What kind of present you want to give to Yuika-chan uncle Alto?"
"Let's see… well I don't really have one in my mind right now, but I think I better give both of you same present"
Ehh… that's lame, at least try to think of what to give, well it's not like I don't want to have the same present as Yuika-chan, but, for us to have the same stuff is a bit, I think we better have something different, so we can exchange it will look boring to have the same things with someone like that.
"Let's try to that stall over there shall we?"
I look at the direction uncle Alto pointing at, we come closer to take a look, they sell some winter outfits, I can see mittens, scarfs, and any other stuff.
"Maybe Yuika-chan will love it if you guys exchange one side of the mittens to each other"
"Doesn't it will look strange?"
"Well, how about I give you guys different color with the same pattern, that way you won't complain right?"
Well maybe having different colored mittens won't hurt anyone, it got the same pattern anyways, let's just wish Yuika-chan won't angry when I ask her to swap each other's half.
