Lonely Me and the Lonely Caring Goddess
Chapter 39
Chapter 39 – An Undecidable Present
TL: Cheetah
ED: Ryuubii
“Takanashi-san, how about this one?”
With that said, Senpai brought me a cute lunch box.
It has deformed pictures of animals scattered all over it, and no matter how you looked at it, it was not a boy’s lunch box.
It’s not that I’m not embarrassed, but instead, I’m happy that Senpai chose it for me.
Then I will just have to accept it.
“Thank you very much. That… that’s pretty cute, isn’t it?”
“Yes! It’s just… well, it’s a little childish, isn’t it?”
“If Senpai decided to go ahead with it, I’m okay and happy with that.”
Because I know she means well.
I’ll be sure to properly thank her.
“Then we’ll buy it, if it’s okay with you.”
“Okay.”
The purchase of the lunch box container was now complete.
I’ll just give it to her on the way home, so I’ll hold onto it for now.
I can’t let Senpai carry the baggage…
Now then, what should we do after this?
We could have an early lunch, take a break at a café, or head to the grocery store and look for a gift for Senpai.
But before anything else, I should ask her first.
“Sara-senpai, what should we do? We could take a break or have dinner early…”
“Hmm… it’s still too early for a break…”
“If so, would it be all right if we go to another store?”
“Yes, I’ll follow you anywhere you want to go.”
For the time being, let’s go around the general merchandise store.
Hm, I had some idea of which direction to go last night, but I couldn’t make up my mind.
I dismiss the easy option of accessories, I feel like it’s too cheap.
But if Senpai wants it, that’s a different story.
——————————————
“They’re buying a present for Sara first.”
“Well, if he doesn’t get one, he won’t be able to relax afterwards.”
The two of them seemed to be heading for the general merchandise store.
“Have they decided on what to buy?”
“Not yet, I think. He said he didn’t want to make an easy decision.”
The most common thing to buy is accessories, but Sara is not really interested in that kind of thing.
Well, I think she’ll be happy with anything Takanashi-kun gives her.
——————————————
I’ll try to get a reaction from Senpai as I randomly rummage around.
Hmm… it would be easier to understand if she finds something that attracts her interest, but she’s just looking at me.
“By the way Senpai, are there any particular sundries you’re interested in?”
“Hmmm… Well, I like to look at them, but there’s nothing specific really…”
Ugh… already a setback…
This is a problem.
If you choose something weirdly expensive, it will be rather overkill, and if I choose something randomly, it won’t make sense, so the only thing I can think of is something that can be used as a daily necessity…
——————————————
“Come to think of it, Sara doesn’t really buy much when we come to places like this.”
To avoid being looked at strangely by the people around us, we entered the store on the other side of the street while pretending to look at random stuff.
Fufufu… This is kind of a fancy store, so Tachibana-kun seems uncomfortable…
“I-is that right? So it’ll probably be hard for Kazunari?”
“As you can see from the lunch box container earlier, Sara generally likes cute things. Perhaps a stuffed animal would please her, but I’ve never seen her buy one.”
“I see… By the way, I feel out of place, so I’ll go outside the store…”
“No, you can’t. What will happen if they find out? Patience, patience ♪”
“… Okay.”
——————————————
Then we came to the section for cooking utensils and kitchen stuff.
I figured that I can find something here.
On the contrary, if it doesn’t work here, I’ll be in a pinch…
“Senpai, do you usually cook anything besides making lunch boxes?”
“Yes, I do. I’m usually alone at home, so I make my own meals. I also cook for my grandmother at her house.”
“I see. Um, about your parents…”
“My father is a workaholic. He comes home late and seems to be working at the house as well, so we don’t eat together very often. My mother assists him, so we have dinner together only whenever it is possible.”
… Speaking of which, this was the first time I’ve heard her talk about her family.
To begin with, I… don’t know anything about Sara-senpai at all, do I…?
How could I only realize that now…
I mean, how can I say she’s important to me when all I know about her is what I saw at school?
“… Is something the matter?”
Senpai asked me with a slightly curious expression.
“It’s just… It’s just that I just realized that I didn’t know anything about you, your hobbies, what you do at home, or what you do in the student council. In the first place, I didn’t even know why Senpai was taking care of that flower bed all by herself…”
I don’t mean to be presumptuous and say that I need to know everything.
However, I guess I don’t really know her too well, do I?
I hate myself for that…
