After they left Nick's Cafe, Adam Miura took Mu Mitsuki to go shopping.
Mu Mitsuki was confused. Why did Adam Miura take me to go shopping out of blue instead of driving straight to his place.
When they reached the place, Mu Mitsuki was curious. She stands in front of the building and looks at the people who walked in and out of the store are couples only.
There's a lot of stores in the building. It's popular for the couples matching things.
"Why are you taking me here?" Mu Mitsuki asks in confusion.
"We're here to buy things." Adam Miura said while walking in the store.
"Why do we need to buy things in this store?"
"Because if my grandma sees that there's no female things in my house, do you think she'll believe us that we live together?"
That makes senses now. That's why Adam Miura took me here so that we can buy a couple things.
How dumb I am. Why didn't I think of that?
Mu Mitsuki staring at the man in front of her back and thought in her head 'Adam Miura, this might be just a show for your grandma, but i'm happy that we got a chance to go on a date like this.'
This is what couples who live together do. Having a date while shopping.
'You might not feel anything toward me, but i feel warm when i'm together with you. I wish that we can go shopping like this in the future.'
Mu Mitsuki feels embarrassing. This is her first time that she is going to buy matching things with a man.
And he's the one who she likes. But it's a shame that the other party treats her like a little sister, not as a woman.
Mu Mitsuki wishes that she's the same age as Adam Miura so that he'll see her as a woman, not a little girl.
But Mu Mitsuki still feels happy knowing that they are going to buy matching couple things. She knows it's just pretending in front of Adam Miura grandma, but she still feels excited.
As long as she can do things together with Adam Miura, she is happy.
Mu Mitsuki got excited.
Right now Adam Miura might now feel the same way as she is, but they don't know what's going to happen between them in the future.
"What are we going to buy first?" Mu Mitsuki asked happily.
"Couple's things. If you can think of anything, just put them in the shopping cart." Adam Miura said while his eyes were looking around.
Seeing that Adam Miura didn't look at her when he's talking make Mu Mitsuki heart sank. 'Am I the one who's excited? Why did Adam Miura didn't look at me when he talked to me? Am I annoying?' Mu Mitsuki thought in her head.
"Ok." Mu Mitsuki didn't say much. She walked away from Adam Miura. If she stays another second with him, she might not control her own feelings.
Mu Mitsuki walked out of the couple's store and walked around other stores.
-----
Adam Miura didn't know what to tell Mu Mitsuki. They're going to live as a couple so they need matching stuff.
'If I tell her that we're going to buy matching things, will she misunderstand me and think that i'm too old for that?' Adam Miura thought in his head.
Thinking that the person next to him is too young for him, Adam Miura felt terrible. He wishes that she's only a few years younger than him. But the age gap is too big.
So he can't ruin her life by keeping her by his side the rest of his life. He needs to find a way to come up with something to lie to his grandma soon.
So that he won't hurt his grandma and the woman who he has feelings for. If he continues forcing Mu Mitsuki to pretend to be his fiancee, he might not want to let her go when the time comes.
Adam Miura was busy choosing matching stuff. He didn't notice that Mu Mitsuki was not behind him anymore.
After he paid for the stuff, he walked out of the couple's store. He walked around to look for Mu Mitsuki.
Adam Miura walked in a few clothes stores but Mu Mitsuki was nowhere to be found.
'Is Mu Mitsuki lost?' Adam Miura got worried.
He took out his phone in his pocket and dialed Mu Mitsuki number.
"Yes?" Mu Mitsuki's voice speaks up.
It seems like there's something in her mouth.
Adam Miura signs in relief. It's good that she meems not hurt.
"Where are you?"
"I'm at a dessert store." Mu Mitsuki answered.
"Wait for me there."
Adam Miura hung up the call. He walked to where Mu Mitsuki is.
Adam Miura can see Mu Mitsuki was eating chocolate cake through the store glass.
It's a good thing that she didn't go somewhere else.
Adam walked in the store, then he sat in front of Mu Mitsuki. Adam Miura breathed heavily. He gulped down Mu Mitsuki latte in one gulp.
It looks like a man who's late for his date and tried his best to run to his girlfriend as fast as he can.
"Why are you out of breath?" Mu Mitsuki asked in confusion.
'It took only five minutes to walk here, so why did it seem like this man ran for a few miles?'
"You disappeared out of the blue so I ran to look for you."
"Oh… Sorry."
"Did you find anything that you like?" Mu Mitsuki changed the subject. She's curious what Adam Mura bought since she's not with him for a while.
