"Wow! There are so many people here!"
In a supermarket near Tsukamoto's house, Kaeri Aso walked into the store and sighed as she looked at the crowded crowd.
Next to Aso Kaeri, Tsukamoto Sumimi smiled slightly, and then said: "I can't help it. At this time, there are many people! In addition, another large supermarket nearby is being renovated, so the people here are... More..."
Kaori Aso nodded slightly after listening to Sumi's words, then walked directly to the cashier and took a box of chewing gum to pay.
Tsukamoto Sumi also walked to the cashier and asked, "Sister, did you come to the supermarket just to buy chewing gum?"
"Yes, I usually like chewing gum." Kaori Aso took the change, then tore off the gum wrapper and asked, "...do you want one too?"
"Um...thank you." Tsukamoto Sumi took the chewing gum, threw it into her mouth and chewed it. Then she and Aso Kaori walked to the food seasoning area and took a bottle of soy sauce.
After picking up the soy sauce, the two of them were about to leave the supermarket. Tsukamoto Sumi seemed to suddenly remember something, stretched out her hand and patted her forehead, then turned and walked towards the daily necessities area:
"By the way! I almost forgot, I have to buy something."
"Huh? Do you want to buy anything else, Sumi-chan?" Kaori Aso was stunned for a moment, then followed Tsukamoto Sumi, who nodded and said:
"Yeah! My lunch box is broken, I have to buy a new one."
"The lunch box?" Kaori Aso smiled slightly, "...did you accidentally break it at school?"
"Uh..." Tsukamoto Sumi heard this, smiled awkwardly but gracefully, and said softly, "...Anyway, I just accidentally broke it!~"
…
In the supermarket, on the shelves in the cultural supplies section.
Shu Yunwen stood in front of a shelf specializing in ball pens, pretending to be holding a ball pen and looking at it, and asked in his mind: "Narumi, is the one named Kana Kimijima still there?"
"Of course she's still there, she's standing at the far right end of the row of shelves behind you." Cheng Shi floated in front of Shu Yunwen, "Sir Yunwen, I can confirm now, she is definitely following us!"
"Really? But why is she following me?" Shu Yunwen was confused, and suddenly turned to ask Chengshi, "By the way, Chengshi, is there a mask on her face? Also, is there any mask on her body? What proof of identity is there? Can it confirm her identity?”
"Uh... please! If she has a mask on her face, I told you just now!" Cheng Shi complained to Shu Yunwen first, and then continued, "As for her identity, I just sneaked into her Next to me, I looked at her schoolbag and body. There were her student ID card, textbooks, homework books and other things. It looked like she was really a student of Nishi Fukuyama High School..."
"Then she said she was doing a social survey at the hospital. Is this true?" Shu Yunwen asked again.
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I just took a brief look at the things in her schoolbag. I didn't look that carefully..."
When the truth came true, his expression suddenly hesitated. When Shu Yunwen saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "...What's wrong? Did you discover anything else?"
"Well..." Cheng Shi groaned, and then replied, "... Mr. Yunwen, I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel that that girl can feel me. I was floating next to her just now. When she was standing, she turned directly to look at my position, which shocked me..."
"What? Can I feel you? Isn't that impossible?" Shu Yunwen curled his lips——
In other words, Chengshi is a soul! It’s not an easy thing to feel fulfilled!
Among the people Shu Yunwen has met so far, the only one who can actually sense the existence of Narumi, except Koizumi Anko, is Ishikawa Goemon!
Koizumi Anko is a witch. She is also a member of the dark world, so it is normal for her to be aware of Narumi's existence.
As for Ishikawa Goemon? Although this guy has an ability similar to "God's Strike", he does not understand any power in the dark world, and his ability to discover the truth relies entirely on a perverted intuition.
In Shu Yunwen's inference, those who can detect the existence of reality must be people who are very talented in the practice of dark world power, but there are simply too few such people. Shu Yunwen has not met one until now...
Shu Yunwen was thinking, and Cheng Shi asked: "Master Yunwen, how about we try it separately?"
"Try it?" Shu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, then nodded after hesitating, "...Okay, let's give it a try! Next, let's separate and see if she can find you!"
"Okay!" Chengshi responded, and then said, "Then I'll go to the aisle between the daily necessities area and the cultural supplies area in front. Mr. Yunwen, you can do whatever you want!"
"Okay, it's settled!"
After Shu Yunwen finished speaking, he quickly walked around and hid in front of another row of shelves. As for Cheng Shi, he quickly flew to the aisle and waited.
…
In the daily necessities area.
On the left side of a certain row of shelves, Kaeri Aso stood in front of a row of bento boxes, waving to Tsukamoto Sumi and said:
"Sumi, come here quickly, the lunch box is here!~"
"Okay, thank you, sister!~" Tsukamoto Sumi walked to Aso Kaeri and thanked her, then looked at a row of bento boxes and picked them up, while Aso Kaeri was holding on to the side and enthusiastically giving suggestions. :
"Sumi, what do you think of this lunch box? The pattern on it looks so beautiful!"
"Hmm...this is not bad either. The zoning inside the box is very distinctive!"
"Wow! Is this model endorsed by Okino Yoko?"
"..."
Kaeri was chattering next to Sumei, who was looking at a pile of bento boxes and hesitated. At this time, a shopping guide came over and asked with a smile: "Hello! Um...it's Tsukamoto-san, Do you want to buy a lunch box?”
Tsukamoto Sumi lives here and is considered a frequent visitor. Of course the shopping guide also knows her.
"That's right." Tsukamoto Sumi smiled slightly, and then asked, "...I want to buy a lunch box, one that is strong, durable, and won't break easily. Do you have any recommendations?"
"A strong and durable lunch box?" The shopping guide was stunned for a moment, then picked up a lunch box on the shelf and said with a smile, "...Then you might as well choose this one! This is a company that specializes in making lunch boxes. The company’s tablets are made of special alloy, which is very strong. It is said that it will not break even if it is thrown from the sixth floor, and it will never deform..."
"Really? Then I'll choose this one!" Tsukamoto Sumi immediately made a decision, then turned around and suddenly saw a girl looking around in the aisle on the right side of the shelf.
When Tsukamoto Sumi saw the girl, she couldn't help but let out an "Ah!" Kaeri next to her asked curiously: "Sumi-chan, have you seen your friend?"
"Uh... no." Tsukamoto Sumi smiled and shook her head, "It's just a girl I've met once..."
