Flour, check. Eggs, check. Beef, chicken, check. Nori, tuna, mackerel—ah.

The young woman put her notes back into her small handbag when she heard her phone ringing. Sighing, as she looked at the caller's name on the screen before eventually answered the call. Pulling herself and her trolley aside so she didn't stand in the way.

"Yes, Izumo?" The blonde spoke in a low voice as possible. "Yes, I'm still shopping—oh, what?"

Seri went quiet for a moment, listening to her twin's voice over the phone. There was a slight shock on her face that disappeared in a matter of seconds.

"Ah, I see. Thanks for your information," she responded as soon as he finished talking. "Anyway, Izumo—"

Geez, he cut it off. Despite being annoyed, Seri just sighed when she heard the disconnected tone. Her twin was always like that, no matter how many times she told him to end a phone call properly. It's such a waste of energy. Moreover, I need to finish this errand and go home as soon as possible.

Just when she was about to put her cellphone back into her bag, two text messages were coming in. One from her classmate, panicking because Hamanaka-sensei asked for all lab reports to be handed in by the day after tomorrow. So, he really advanced the deadline, huh? Good thing I already finished my report. The other one was from Miyazawa-senpai, asking if she could meet him that evening at the college's library. Important stuffs, he said. Sighing once again, Seri quickly answered both messages. Her plan for the evening has changed a bit. Yes, she would still head straight home after this, but instead of checking if her lab report was good enough to be handed over to Hamanaka-sensei, she would go straight to the college. Well, maybe I can do it after meeting Miyazawa-senpai...

The young woman walked away, pushing her trolley. She had bought almost everything, except for some fruits and vegetables. After that, her shopping errand would be done.

Oh, these komatsuna are beautiful, she thought as she stopped by the produce section. The carrots, too. Seems I could buy some more than I should—

"No, Seri, buy as much as you need to," she said to herself, while picking some komatsuna and putting it into her trolley.
