Chapter 145: Chance Encounter
After a while, Shido and Kurumi came to the nearby pet store again, the one that they had visited this morning.
Now that they had decided to raise a cat, they would naturally have to buy some related accessories, such as cat food and cat toys.
It just so happened that Kurumi also liked cats, so it was a good dating spot.
When they came to the pet store, it seemed that it was already afternoon, and there were more customers than in the morning. The clerks were busy greeting other customers and did not come to welcome them.
Shido also understood that, after all, this store was not small, and it was inevitable that it would be a bit hard for them to manage.
"Azu-nyan is only five or six months old..."
Shido was choosing cat food. Cats of different ages ate different cat food, so he must choose carefully.
He had quite a good amount of money, so he could buy more expensive and more nutritious ones, and keep Azu-nyan strong and healthy.
Apart from Kurumi, Kotori and Tohka liked cats too. The other Spirits shouldn't have problems with cats, either.
"Shido, let's buy this!"
Kurumi picked up a fluffy cat teaser wand. If they were gonna raise the kit, they would naturally play with it, and this was a toy that cats liked very much.
"Okay..."
Shido replied casually, then took the cat teaser wand and waved it in front of Kurumi.
Kurumi subconsciously reached out and grabbed the cat teaser wand, and then she realized something, retracting her hand with a little blush:
"Shido, are you treating me like a kitten?"
"No, I'm just trying to see if it's good..."
Shido shook his head. In fact, he suddenly remembered the cute appearance of Kurumi when she landed on all fours and meowed in front of a straw cat. It was the time before he sealed her powers.
Although Kurumi told him not to pay attention to her at that time, how could he not care?
So, Shido, who remembered these things, waved his cat teaser wand in front of Kurumi, but he didn't expect Kurumi to really reach out her hand.
"Welcome back, lovebirds!"
The female clerk from the morning came over with a smile on her face, it seemed like she had already dealt with other customers.
Shido nodded slightly as a courtesy.
Kurumi grabbed the clerk's hands and whispered something excitedly.
It seemed that the meow communication this morning brought the two of them closer and made them become good friends.
At this time, Shido suddenly saw a familiar figure with dead fish eyes, which uniquely belonged to Hachiman Hikigaya.
What surprised him was that there was a very cute girl beside Hachiman. The girl was smiling brightly and showing her healthy teeth, chatting with Hachiman very intimately.
When did Hachiman become so close to the girl?
But soon, Shido noticed that there was a dull hair on the top of the girl's head, the same style as him, and he naturally guessed that this girl was none other than Hachiman's younger sister, Komachi Hikigaya.
When people came to the pet store, they would naturally buy cat food, or to buy a leash for their own cat, so as to prevent it from accidentally running away.
Hachiman naturally saw Shido, but instead of saying hello, he lowered his head and pretended not to see him, even thinking in his heart that he hoped that the other party would not see him either.
Shido wanted to go up to say hello, but he stopped after taking two steps. After all, his little sister was also there. Talking to them would probably raise suspicion of hitting on the younger girl.
Just when the two silently reached a mutual consensus and pretended not to see each other, Komachi suddenly shouted:
"K!"
Saying that, she ran to Kurumi's side. Kurumi noticed her, but wasn't shocked. After all, the clones told her what happened earlier, so she guessed that the one who greeted her was the white cat's owner.
Kurumi calmly smiled and nodded, but did not speak.
"Does K's family have cats too?"
Komachi asked excitedly. Although she didn't know that Kurumi was one of the triplets, since they all called themselves K, then it should be okay to call her K.
"Yes, it's so cute..."
Kurumi smiled gracefully, then nodded.
"Is this K's boyfriend?"
Komachi asked in a low voice.
Before waiting for Kurumi to respond, Hachiman ran over, he gave a wry smile and shouted:
"Itsuka..."
"What? What? Does big brother know this Mr. K?"
Komachi asked with a little surprise. She didn't know Shido's name, but since he was K's boyfriend, he should be called Mr. K.
"I'm friends with Hikigaya..."
Shido chuckled lightly, then patted Hachiman on the shoulder.
"Big brother actually has friends? Komachi is so touched..."
Komachi wiped away the tears that didn't exist with a moving expression. The fact that her brother made friends did surprise her, but it wasn't that exaggerated.
Hikigaya Hachiman opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say anything.
Kurumi on the side also knew that Hachiman was a classmate in Shido's class, thanks to a certain clone in a Sengoku costume telling her all this.
So, she suddenly thought of something, hugged Shido's arm, and introduced it intimately:
"Nice to meet you, Hikigaya-san. Please take care of my Shido at school."
"'My Shido'?"
Hachiman nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say much.
After the two left, Kurumi smiled mischievously. She was declaring her sovereignty just now. If Hachiman saw any girl at school trying to get close to Shido, maybe he would help her drive them away.
But what she didn't know was that the Hikigaya siblings misunderstood her relationship with Shido...
"Mr. K and K are brothers and sisters?"
Komachi said a little embarrassedly.
"It should be so..."
Hachiman nodded lightly, since he knew that Shido's girlfriend was a very cute blonde girl.
Although Kurumi was also very cute, she was obviously not the same girl. Thinking of Shido's former sis-con declaration, and "my Shido" by Kurumi just now, he estimated that she should be Shido's little sister.
Moreover, Shido also revealed before that he had not just one younger sister, but now it seems that there are at least three of them!
