The next day, the sky was clear and the air was clear.

"Potatoes, green peppers, flour, um, why are there tomatoes?"

Since Yukinoshita had to work during the day, she asked me to purchase things for tomorrow's birthday party.

It's just that a devil fruit was mixed in with a bunch of healthy foods, so for my own food safety tomorrow, I deliberately only picked a few tomatoes, and they were not particularly big.

Humph, even though it’s snowing, you can’t say I didn’t buy it.

Besides, neither Yuna-chan nor Hiratsuka-sensei like tomatoes, so why buy so many?

"As for the cake, you need to pick it up tomorrow. As for the meat, it is better to buy fresh ones tomorrow. The rest is to buy some things that can be stored."

I picked up the purchase order and crossed out the items that didn't meet the requirements.

"Wow, there are still so many left after crossing them out. How can I take them all back by myself?"

It's time to call for help. Let me see if there is anyone who can help.

Miura Ebina passed. How could someone who was not invited ask for help? The same goes for Kawasaki Yuigahama. So the only way to say this is -

"Hello? Hiratsuka-sensei? This is Hikigaya."

Yes, of course it is Mr. Hiratsuka, who is also an idler. I don’t feel any burden in my heart to ask this person for help. It may be because I have been beaten too many times.

"Oh, Hikigaya, what's going on?"

A hearty voice came from the other side, and it sounded like someone was watching an animation?

"I'm buying things for tomorrow at a nearby mall, but I can't carry them by myself. Can the teacher come over and help me share some of the pressure?"

"Oh my, this is such a headache. My students are asking me for help. How can I just ignore it?"

"Oh, I'll send the address right away."

This act of sharing my pain with others is so wonderful to me.

For the militant teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, this distance is nothing.

Hachiman waited at the entrance of the mall for about ten minutes before a familiar bright yellow sports car drove over.

"Yo!"

As expected, the person who got out of the car was Hiratsuka-sensei.

After confirming that it was the person I was waiting for, I turned around and motioned for her to follow me.

"There are still a lot of things to buy today."

I showed the purchase order to Mr. Hiratsuka who was standing beside me.

Maybe because there were indeed a lot of things, Shizuka Hiratsuka narrowed her eyes as soon as she saw the densely written words.

"It's a bit much, but you can probably carry it back if you try a little harder."

"Hey, I'm not a beast like an ox or a horse. Besides, there are fragile items in there. I can't put them all in a sack and carry them back."

Although Hiratsuka-sensei didn't say it, I could still sense her thoughts in a sense.

"Ha ha.."

Even if you smile awkwardly, you can't get away with it. Rather, this makes me sure that what I just said was correct.

"Don't be in a daze. It will be bad if you buy too many tomatoes."

I took Hiratsuka-sensei to the vegetable section.

Various kinds of vegetables are piled up in categories, green, red, white, and even vegetables that are rarely seen are placed there casually.

"Wow! Such a big melon, Hikigaya, do you want to buy one?"

Ms. Hiratsuka, who usually doesn't buy groceries, looked around like a child in a toy store.

"Teacher, winter melon is not necessary."

I pointed out the name of the melon that Hiratsuka-sensei was holding. It was not on the purchase list, so there was no need to buy it.

"Oh, really? Ahahaha."

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled awkwardly and put the melon in her hand back.

Seriously, this person didn't even look at what was written on the sign in front of the vegetables before picking them up.

You shouldn't expect anything from her in this regard.

"Teacher, just follow me and help me get my things."

After realizing this, I directly used the teacher as a human laborer. If I had a teammate like Yukinoshita, I guess we would have divided the work and decided who would buy what and then acted separately.

This way efficiency will be higher.

Such a teacher can only be given a ten.

"Here, flour."

"Oh."

Without any psychological burden, I handed the heaviest bag of flour to Mr. Hiratsuka and continued today's sweeping journey.

Basically, we just throw them in one by one according to the purchase order.

Until, in front of the stage of the red devil fruit.

"Hey, I say, Hikigaya, if you want to, don't buy this."

Shizuka Hiratsuka forced herself to calm down and tried hard not to reveal her hatred for tomatoes.

Your expression is very suspicious, Mr. Hiratsuka. Although you have tried your best to hide it, unfortunately, after reading the script, I already know that you hate tomatoes.

So for my own bad taste, I deliberately put tomatoes in my pocket.

Looking at this situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka wished she could come over and throw all the tomatoes back one by one.

"Hikigaya, there's no need to force yourself. I remember you don't really like eating tomatoes."

"Being picky about food is not good, teacher. In order to set an example, I decided to buy more tomatoes today."

Yes, I just want to see your conflicted expression, Mr. Hiratsuka.

I have already achieved my goal, so there is no need for me to put more tomatoes in it. After all, I really don’t like to eat it, or rather, I hate it.

After passing the devil fruit test, I continued to compare with the purchase order.

"Well, we've basically bought all the vegetables. What's left are some seasonings. Wait, why is there a bottle of red wine?"

Is Yukinoshita going to cook something with red wine? It looks very high-class.

"Ah, I remember that wine was what Yang No often drank."

Shizuka Hiratsuka saw Hachiman staying there for a while without taking any action, so she came over to see what he was doing.

"what?"

Yes, this time it’s Yuna-chan and Yukinoshita Haruno’s birthday together, so it’s normal to have something that guy likes.

Wait? Like? Is there anything she doesn't like?

If I could give her a bunch of nasty things on her birthday, her expression would be really exciting.

Damn it, why is the information missing only at this time?

The only thing we can do is to start with her interpersonal relationships.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, is there anything that Yukinoshita's elder sister likes? It's her birthday party after all."

In order to conceal the real purpose, I decided to attack from the front first.

After hearing Hachiman's question, Hiratsuka Shizuya began to think about what Haruno likes.

"Her sister?"

"Seriously!"

"Even if you say so...ah, that guy usually likes to read books, does this count?"

After thinking for a long time, Shizuka Hiratsuka's scalp broke, but this is the only answer. She really can't see that Yono is interested in anything else.

"Reading?"

Do the interests of the two sisters overlap so much? However, Yukinoshita Yukino looks weak, while Yukinoshita Haruno looks energetic.

Yukinoshita likes reading, watching movies, listening to music, etc., so her sister should be a sports enthusiast.

How about giving her a pair of shoes and then poking a hole in the sole?

No, the hands and feet are too obvious.

Then let’s start with reading, which is easier to do.

By the way, then give her a book that she doesn’t like, or even a book that makes her feel annoyed after just one look at it.

"Teacher, does she usually spend a lot of time studying at home?"

"Well, it's longer than the time I spend watching anime anyway."

Ok, then you are a complete book lover.

Humph, wait and see how I deal with you this time.

I had planned in my mind what I was going to give her.

Birthday party, presents...wait a minute! I haven't had time to prepare a present for little Yunai yet.

I broke out in a cold sweat when I thought of this. Damn it, if I forget to prepare a gift for my daughter, I'm sure she'll die miserably.

"Teacher, have you prepared the gift?"

I inquired for information from the only companion who could obtain intelligence at the moment.

"Hmm? Gifts? As for Yang No, I can just give her some more wine tomorrow. As for Yuna-chan, I've already prepared it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was obviously keeping the secret, and looked helpless no matter how Hachiman asked.

Didn't you get any hints from Hiratsuka-sensei?

What would Yukinoshita give her? After all, she is my mother, so there is no way she would not prepare something.

Thinking about this, I remembered the flowers that Yuigahama and the others sent me two days ago.

Is it flowers? Letting children grow flowers by themselves can not only cultivate their sense of time, but also have no negative effects. This way of thinking is worthy of you, Yukinoshita.

What about me? Should I send a book? Or just a workbook?

But the child might just burst into tears, no, no.

I was stroking my chin and thinking about what gift to give, when suddenly a toy in the hand of a little boy holding his mother's hand caught my attention.

"Yeah, it's fine for children to just give toys."

After saying that, I pulled Mr. Hiratsuka towards the toy area, but on the way, Mr. Hiratsuka guessed that I wanted to give him a toy and grabbed my arm tightly to prevent me from passing.

"Ah! Well, can you change it?"

Hiratsuka-sensei's face clearly said 'Oh no, I bumped into you. Oops.' How could I not understand that?

"Teacher, you won't give me a toy, will you?"

"Eh? Ah... yeah."

After being guessed by Hachiman, there was no point for Hiratsuka Shizuka to hide it anymore.

"Yes, I am going to give a toy to little Yuna. You are not going to give me the same one as me, are you?"

If we talk about it openly at this time, Hachiman will pick a different gift instead. After all, it would always be awkward to give the same birthday gift. This is Shizuka Hiratsuka's first-mover advantage!

I realized Mr. Hiratsuka's ill intentions and had to choose a new gift.

Finally I walked into the bookstore.

"Boss, give me a workbook."
