The Goofy Spring Breeze Blows Everywhere, Geto's Sister is Truly Impressive Ch. 40

Megumi selectively ignored the second half of that sentence. He looked up and said politely, in a flat tone, "Sister Chihori."

Chihori tilted her head and asked, "Did you really come to the supermarket all by yourself? Shouldn't you let someone at home know?"

"...I came by myself, it's fine. I'll just go home tonight," Megumi Fushiguro shook his head.

This afternoon, Tsumiki's mom and Tsumiki had to make a quick trip back to their hometown. Megumi didn't want to go, so he volunteered to stay behind.

But there wasn't much food left at home. So Megumi took some money out of his piggy bank and decided to hit the nearby supermarket for some bread and instant noodles—to eat tonight or save for tomorrow.

Faced with Chihori's lunch invitation, Megumi paused for a second and answered, "I already ate lunch before I came out."

"Oh, really? Already had lunch, huh." Chihori nodded, looking slightly disappointed. "That means you won't get to try my specialty dishes—Creamy Bell Peppers and Chili-Fried Tomatoes."

Megumi: For some reason, I feel really glad I already ate.

Creamy bell peppers were whatever, but chili-fried tomatoes? What kind of culinary assassin came up with that?! A whole plate of bright red—clearly meant to stab someone!!

System voice:
[Weren't you supposed to be cooking a reward feast for someone, Chihori? Why did you suddenly add your trauma-inducing creations to the menu?!]

Chihori: [What do you mean, "trauma-inducing dishes"? This is cutting-edge health cuisine.]

Megumi once again replied politely, "No thank you, I really am full, sister."

"Oh, okay then." Chihori beamed and cheerfully suggested, "No worries! You can still come watch us eat!"

Little Megumi Fushiguro: "?"

System leaned back in disbelief: [Why would he watch you eat?! Isn't the usual polite line "have some more anyway"?!]

Chihori refused seriously: [Absolutely not. If he says he's full, then he's full. What if he overfeeds himself? How would I turn him into my brand ambassador then?]

The system suddenly had a revelation:
[It appears—the true motive of Chihori the Crazy Dave!]

Chihori: [Not Crazy Dave—it's the Radiant Dog-Headed Archangel Strawberry Milk!]

Faced with the girl's invitation, Megumi hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed—whatever the case, he wanted to see just what the heck was going on.

Also, to assess whether he needed to call the cops and rat his dad out for the greater good of society.

(Toji: "???")

System: [Filial piety: maximum level.jpg]

Since it was their first time meeting, Chihori held back from making too much physical contact, just in case it made Megumi uncomfortable.

She simply reached out her hand and smiled at the black-haired sea urchin-headed kid. "Hold onto my sleeve, okay? It's gonna get crowded—don't get lost."

"......" Megumi paused for a few seconds, then quietly reached out and took hold of the edge of Chihori's sleeve.

As they walked out of the packed supermarket, Chihori and Megumi strolled side by side on the way home.

Because the noon sun overhead was scorching, Chihori picked a shortcut home—a narrow, shady alley.

The walls on both sides were tall and damp, coated with moss that thrived in the year-round cool, wet environment.

Chihori slowed down, and little Megumi, still holding onto her sleeve, carefully stepped over puddles left behind by rain from a few days ago.

"Fushiguro-kun," Chihori suddenly said, "look at this road."

Megumi looked ahead. The narrow alley was dimly lit, and damp moss clung to the walls. At the very end, the distant light looked like a portal leading to some other world.

"What about it?" he asked, not quite following.

Chihori pointed straight ahead, eyes bright with mischief. "Doesn't this road look like the kind people use to drag you off and steal your kidneys?"

Little Megumi Fushiguro froze. "K-Kidneys??"

"Or disassemble your ○○."

Chihori went out shopping today without bringing the sunlight-collecting folder or the waist pouch.

System: [You can totally handle this thing yourself.]

Chihori: [But the delicate little princess doesn't want to get her hands dirty.]

That "delicate little princess" line gave the system goosebumps only an AI consciousness could get!

Chihori: [Fine, then the sunflower dog head doesn't want to get its hands dirty.]

System happily relaxed, [That's more like it.]

Even though she didn't bring sunlight, it didn't matter, thanks to the dear rival Blueberry Yogurt from Kawasaki City's friendly rage, who used a garlic-flavored finger to produce a zero-cost little spitting mushroom!

This was the right, affordable, practical, and cute little spitting mushroom!

Megumi was tense, staring at the strange cursed spirit getting closer, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught the silver-haired girl's wrist flip, revealing a sudden purple little mushroom!

Megumi: "?"

"All right, now we can relax." Chihori showed a smile.

Megumi Fushiguro: ...Relax about what? Are you seriously gonna poison this thing? Can it really be poisoned??

[Puff-shroom]

[Description: Zero-cost little spitting mushroom, usable without sunlight, with a short cooldown. It can spit attacks from its mouth, but the range is short, only three meters, and the attack power is low. However, it sticks well to any surface.]

[Status: The little Puff-shroom is super cute, with dark eyes and puckered lips. Though it's only palm-sized, it's very brave. Stick it on your shoulder and let it fight with you!]

[Note: It's free, no trickery, really free! What are you waiting for? Plant it fast~ (Only usable in dark environments, otherwise it needs coffee beans.)]

Chihori grabbed Megumi with one hand and swiftly and skillfully jumped back, putting distance between them and the scary cursed spirit ahead!

"This alley should be dark enough."

Her high silver ponytail drew an arc in the air as Chihori, full of spirit, said, "Come on, little sea urchin, we gotta work together to deal with this big guy in front of us."

Megumi was briefly stunned by Chihori's agile moves; he hadn't expected such speed and strength from this fragile-looking girl.

He froze for a second, then hearing Chihori's words, his youthful face grew serious, "What do we do?"

Chihori blinked and raised her other hand, showing the purple mushroom she held, "First, cover yourself with little Puff-shrooms."

Megumi Fushiguro: "???"
