It's a new day! We all slept in the Mirror Dimension again because Ranga's fur felt so damn good.
Yesterday we spent all of the money I permanently borrowed from that guy I already forgot. I think his name was Yugi or something…
(A/N: You've activated my trap card!)
After we ran out of his money, I just made more money using [Ahura Mazda] and spent that. And I did this a LOT.
Yes, it might cause chaos in the economy for a while but it's nothing the Yuuki clone can't solve.
Yuuki- "*In the distance* You only remember me when you need me!"
During the day, Illya, Mikoto and I wandered over the entire city, just throwing money around.
I can't remember half of what we bought since it was all just a blur. I never really liked shopping, my mind kind of just shut down at one point, which is one of those rare points Illya and I differ from.
She loves shopping. Mikoto does too, which is surprising. I didn't think they would be interested in things like that.
I guess it's a woman thing…
I brought Ranga out disguised under a rune. I felt bad for keeping him in my shadow while we went around and had fun, so I disguised him to look just like a big dog. He wasn't really happy about being "degraded into a lesser species", but the joy of walking the streets alongside me and my companions made it all worth it.
I guess regardless of how he acts around me, he is still a proud wolf and the leader of his pack at that.
A funny thing happened while we were wandering around yesterday.
We were all just casually strolling down the street (all the streets in this damn city look the same) talking about how to improve upon the Takoyaki we bought from a nearby stall when Mikoto suddenly stopped walking and spun her whole body around, looking in a certain direction with cat-like features on her face.
She then proceeded to sprint off in that direction, leaving a stupefied loli and slime-turned-human behind. (Ranga didn't come out of my shadow yet.)
Deciding to follow her, we eventually find ourselves staring at Mikoto whi is looking at a magic claw machine with conflicted eyes.
For those who don't know, it's a claw machine that runs off magic. Pretty obvious if you ask me.
As for what was in the machine…
Rimuru- "Is… is that a gekota?"
I mutter to myself.
I never thought I would see them in this world aside from being manufactured by myself.
Gekota is this frog mascot that Mikoto is a hardcore fan of. It's to the degree that if it has a gekota on it, she would blow all the money she has on her person to get it.
This specific gekota is stuck under a thick layer of other toys that she has no interest in, hence her inner conflict.
Or rather, how did she even notice this gekota from dozens of meters away through a large crowd!?
Rimuru- "*Sigh* Come on…"
I sigh to myself and grab Mikoto by the wrist, pulling her away.
Mikoto- "Hey- Wai-"
Mikoto doesn't fight back but looks at the gekota that is getting farther and farther away with longing eyes.
Eventually, after her eyes can no longer see it from the large crowd blocking her view, she looks at me with accusing eyes while pouting ever so slightly.
I smile inwardly but I keep my blank face. I'm still gently dragging Mikoto along by her wrist as Illya is trailing behind us while hiding her presence using magics she learned in the library.
Rimuru- "What?"
Mikoto- "… Nothing…"
She breaks eye contact and looks down, seemingly thinking that I'm disappointed at her childish tastes.
I mean, I already made that gekota bracelet for you, I honestly don't care. She might have thought it was just a one-time thing…
I couldn't help but sigh again.
Rimuru- "*Sigh* You know… if you wanted that toy, you could just ask me to make one for you."
Mikoto looks up at me with a confused expression.
Rimuru- "You don't need to get so emotionally attached to a poorly made product. You know I can make much better."
I say as I stop walking and subtly make a small gekota plush that fits entirely in my hand. I hold her hand up before placing it in her palm.
She looks at it with a genuinely confused face.
Mikoto- "… You don't think it's childish?"
I snort.
Rimuru- "Yeah, to be honest, it's a little childish… Well, I think it's charming though."
I say while smiling. I mean seriously, it's pretty rare to find such a hard-headed woman that likes things like this. Is this what they call Gap Moe?
She looks down at the small plush in her hand and gently closes her fingers around it.
Mikoto- "… Is that so…"
Mikoto mutters to herself with a small, nearly unnoticeable smile.
Hmm, this atmosphere is a little TOO pink for my tastes. I should say something…
Rimuru- "But in all honesty, I would much prefer it if you liked things like these. I mean, mature things totally don't suit you."
A vein pops on her forehead.
Mikoto- "Hooo… Is that so…?"
I prefer that pink atmosphere from a few seconds ago rather than this murderous one.
Luckily Illya saved me.
Anyway, that happened yesterday. It's now a brand new day and I just got contacted by Yuuki through [Thought Communication], waking me up from my slumber.
Yuuki- 'Your mom gey.'
Rimuru- 'Ok, first off, you're my clone. We would have the same mother IF I even had one, which I don't. Secondly, did you finish what I asked yet?'
Yuuki- 'Yeah yeah, your teacher application has passed and you can start today. But still, was the previous Yuuki such a workaholic? There's so much stuff he has to take care of. It's honestly a pain in the-'
Rimuru- 'Yeah I don't care. Have fun.'
Yuuki- 'Wait! You bast-'
I cut the connection and snuggle back into Ranga's fur.
I'll go to school later…
Procrastination.
