"Uncle Chen"
"Yes, young master"
"I need to buy something, can we stop by the mall?"
"Of course"
Saying so, he turned the steering wheel and drove taking a turn by the intersection.
"Should I go with you, young master?"
"No, it's fine."
I got out of the underground parking lot and went to the elevator.
I roamed around the first floor, but it mostly consist of restaurants or cafes.
I should go to the second floor.
"Senpai!"
"Ah"
Waiting for the elevator doors to open, I saw Makoto's little sister, Yua.
"Coincidence"
"Yup, is senpai also here for the same purpose?"
"I'm not sure if it's the same, but I'm here to buy a gift for your brother."
"mm, it's the same"
Saying so, she lifted a big paper bag.
"That's quite big...isn't it heavy?"
"oh no, it's light, just a stuffed toy"
"I see. Ah since you're here, do you know what kind of present I could give?"
"Ah my brother would be fine with anything though, sometimes I'd even buy things to just tease him"
I raised an eyebrow and looked at the paper bag...
There wouldn't be anything strange there, right? Since it's just a stuffed toy.
"hmm, would something practical work?"
"sure, I think that's fine too"
"Okay, I got it"
"Bye, bye senpai!"
"Go home safely"
I waved back at her then got on the elevator.

I finally bought a gift.
I bought a dark brown leather wallet, I wasn't sure if it would be his liking.
I got it wrapped up in a box with a dark blue colored wrap.
I figured choosing would take a while, so I called Uncle Chen to go home first earlier.
It's already 7:00 pm...I'm hungry.
I should just eat on the 1st floor then go home.
Was what I thought while getting off the elevator.
Then I saw a familiar back.
I just saw our school's well-known klu-ahem goddess...
I've been meeting her quite a lot lately...Well it's not really something to question. Since Yua was here earlier too.
...and she's walking while looking at her phone...
My steps went closer to her.
I grabbed her by the back of her collar.
Rude I know...but it's better than...
"What!?"
"Be careful"
...Getting hurt.
"Ah Hugo-senpai?"
"And look where you're going"
"yes?"
"You almost run into the pillar"
I pointed my chin towards it.
"Ahh"
She followed my gaze and had a look of realization.
