Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 90: Shopping

Chapter 90: Shopping

(It’s been a while since I came to the game corner for home use.)

Yuuto was at the department store.

Tonight was the day the school trip group returned, and the adult group was joining a barbecue party. Although the ingredients were already prepared, Yuuto thought they needed more snacks and drinks, so he went shopping.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a poster on display.

It was the release of a new game for *Libsys*.

It was a game where players controlled various monsters to trample on humans.

Yuuto became interested and found himself heading towards the game corner.

Monitors placed around the floor displayed promotional videos for the new game, and there were demo versions available to play. Yuuto couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as he looked at the scene.

He didn’t often get to see many game cartridges at once, as Reina and Rina had given him gifts of games, and Sanae had brought some over too.

(Oh, this is it.)

However, even when he visited, Yuuto would go straight to the item he wanted and head to the cash register. He would only come to buy what he desired and wouldn’t discover new games of interest.

But before that, he spotted a familiar girl and called out to her.

“Sacchin, what are you doing?”

“Huh?! Oh, Onii-Onee-san!”

“Oh, you dropped your game cartridge case, it’s trouble for the staff.”

Despite surprising her by calling out from behind, Sanae showed no remorse as she picked up the dropped cartridge case and handed it to her. She also called her by her nickname, not the usual “Sanae-chan.” It was no wonder she was surprised.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m interested in this.”

“Oh, Onee-san, you do like monsters, don’t you?”

“Huh? Did I say that?”

“No, I often see you choosing deformed characters, so I thought you liked them.”

Sanae knew.

Even when Yuuto played a game for the first time, he would unhesitatingly choose a deformed character if he found one. After seeing it so many times, anyone would think, “Oh, he likes them.”

“Sanae-chan, are you buying a new otome game?”

“Yes, apparently there’s a yandere route, so let’s play it together!”

“Then bring an otome game without a yandere route.”

“But that would be boring.”

“You’re so mean.”

After finishing the payment, Yuuto moved on to his original purpose.

Sanae, meanwhile, raised her inner tension, thinking about a date, and held hands with Yuuto as they walked together.

“Okay, I’ll pick out some snacks and drinks for you.”

“Okay!”

Yuuto held a shopping basket in one hand and gave instructions to Sanae.

Sanae cheerfully replied, “Yes,” and selected appropriate items, placing them in Yuuto’s basket. However, her left hand firmly held onto Yuuto’s, intertwining deeply.

Yuuto said nothing to her.

“Shall we buy a crepe?”

“Yes!”

Yuuto bought a crepe for Sanae as a token of appreciation for accompanying him on his shopping trip, and the two of them returned home.

“Do you want a bite?”

“No, I…”

“I’ll take a bite, thanks.”

Sanae subtly aimed for an indirect kiss.

Even though she had developed a dislike for sweets, she still didn’t hate them, and Sanae was satisfied that she had achieved her goal.

“Onee… Onii-san, there’s whipped cream on your mouth.”

“Huh?”

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

Sanae managed to create an even more delicious situation. Before Yuuto could ask where, Sanae quickly wiped his mouth with her fingertips and licked them. She then smiled and looked up at Yuuto, and in her eyes, she saw that Yuuto’s cheeks had turned slightly red.

“Onee-san, onee-san.”

“What’s up, Sanae-chan?”

“Today was fun for me.”

“Me too.”

Being aware of Sanae’s feelings meant that this date could be considered a success.

“Was the date fun?”

Until he saw his sister standing at the entrance wearing an apron.

“…”

“The date was fun!”

“Fushuu!”

“Ouch!”

A quick but not-so-powerful straight punch hit Yuuto.

Yuuna, who had sent Yuuto shopping, was preparing the food, but she didn’t expect him to return with a friend, holding hands with him.

“Sanae-chan, take this to the kitchen.”

“Huh, okay.”

“Come here!”

Yuuto held out his arms as Sanae held the shopping bag. Yuuna eagerly embraced him, her arms and legs wrapping around his waist, as if she would never let go.

“As punishment, you’ll stay like this for a while!”

“Sorry, I just need to use the bathroom… ouch!”

Yuuto was bitten on the nape of his neck.

Later, he would say,

“They’re surprisingly soft.”
