This should be the way to my house but how did this happen?
I'm currently in a clothing store.
Yes, a clothing store.
Rika instead of taking me home, she took me to a clothing store instead.
What's more, this shop seems to be an expensive shop. I'm not sure my savings will be enough to buy clothes here.
The moment we walked into the shop, as expected, we were immediately thrust into the spotlight. Not us, but actually me. What kind of person comes into a store wearing a hospital patient gown?
Then, a person who seemed to be a shop employee immediately approached us.
"Welcome, Mikazumi-sama, and..."
"Takumi Yuki."
"Takumi-sama. Is there anything we can help you with?"
The lady greeted us with a smile. She looks professional.
"Manager, please prepare the best clothes for Yuki."
"Yes, Mikazuki-sama. Please follow me."
'What? Manager? Wow, I didn't expect to be greeted by the manager of this store. ' I thought.
We also walked following the manager, no, more precisely I was dragged by Rika.
"Rika-"
"Yuki, didn't I say before in the car?"
I just sighed. If I refuse continuously, Rika will be sad.
Previously, when we were in the car, Rika told me that she would buy me clothes. Rika knows that the clothes I wore on that day must have been thrown away. Of course I refused, I still have clothes at home. And it's just a cheap white T-shirt and shorts.
However, Rika still wanted to buy me clothes, and I agreed. However, I didn't expect Rika to lead me to this expensive looking shop.
[Heh, look, you are like a lion, Master.]
'Lion? What do you mean?'
[The lion is the king of the jungle, but the lion is afraid of his wife. And, it suits you.]
My lips twitched at the taunt from Karen.
'I just don't want Rika to be sad because I keep rejecting her kindness.'
[Heh.]
Before I could reply to Karen's words, we arrived at the place appointed by the Manager.
And, then, Rika also chose clothes for me.
----
"Rika, let's stop now. Shouldn't we go now?" I asked Rika who was in front of me while glaring at her. Of course I didn't look at my lover like an enemy, it was just so that Rika would stop what she was doing now.
If I don't stop Rika now, Rika will probably buy all the men's clothing here for me.
Right when I started choosing my clothes, I tried on the clothes that Rika recommended.
I agreed to the clothing recommendation Rika gave me, and put it on. I showed Rika the clothes I had worn, and Rika was very happy that they fit me.
He complimented me, because I look great. I feel happy when Rika just praises. Who doesn't like being complimented by your girlfriend?
However, this is where the disaster started.
Rika kept giving me clothes, watches, shoes, etc. for me to try on.
I wear them one by one, but it's endless.
Rika had gotten out of hand, so I immediately stopped her.
Rika finally stopped after seeing my gaze, and apologized while lowering her head.
Rika seemed to be regretful and embarrassed because she seemed to have gotten out of control just now.
Seeing her like that, I immediately approached Rika and hugged her. I ignored the stares of the managers near me.
"Don't be sad, it's okay, I'm not mad at you, Rika."
I let go of my hug at Rika. Rika looked at me while smiling beautifully.
It seems I succeeded.
Rika then shifted her gaze, and looked at the manager who was still accompanying us from the beginning.
I can't help but praise her. she really is a professional.
"Manager, I will buy everything that Yuki has tried."
"Understood, Mikazuki-sama."
Later, the Manager as well as the other shop assistants brought over everything that I had tried from the start.
On the other hand, I can only be speechless. Im very surprised.
"Rika-"
"Don't turn it down, Yuki. Remember the promise. A man must keep his word."
I want to say that this is too much. But, just like Rika said, I made a promise to her and I have to keep it.
....
Rika came up to me, it seems she has finished the payment.
"Everything will be delivered to your house, Yuki. So, there's no need to worry about bringing them. You can wait at home."
"Thank you very much, Rika."
"You're welcome."
Then, we left the store and walked to the car. However, before we got into the car, Rika's cell phone rang.
Rika picked up the call, and I could see her face getting irritated.
I can hear the conversation between Rika, and it seems she has to go to work now, because Rika urgently needs to be present.
She looked like she wanted to refuse, but I shook my head as a gesture for Rika not to refuse to go to work.
after Rika finished her conversation, I stood in front of Rika.
"You should go now, Rika."
"But, Yuki, I will take you to your house."
I shook my head, "No, you don't have to. You should leave now."
Rika looked at me and sighed. Rika seems to know that I won't change my decision.
"At least let me book a taxi for you."
I nodded my head accepting his offer.
And, Not long after, the taxi arrived. Rika asked the taxi driver how much it would cost to take me to my house, the taxi driver told Rika, and Rika paid for it.
'Rika is really very considerate.' I thought.
[Hmph, I always look out for you, but you never compliment me, Master.]
I was surprised to hear Karen's reply.
'Thank you, Karen.'
I immediately replied to Karen, and for some reason, I felt that Karen looked happy and smiling.
"I already paid for it, Yuki. So, you don't need to pay for the taxi again."
I smiled and went straight to him. Rika probably thought I would hug her but what a shame Rika, you are wrong.
I kissed Rika's right cheek.
I got into the taxi, leaving Rika who was still silent with a surprised expression. Rika's face also looked red. Rika is really cute.
"See you later, Rika."
-----
When I got home, I immediately lay down on my bed.
"It's great to be home."
[Welcome home, Master.]
"It feels weird when you say that to me. Because, you are always with me, Karen."
[What do you want to do now, Master? ]
"I don't know, maybe sleep? I haven't slept in my own bed in a very long time."
[.... Lazy person.]
"HAH?!"
[I said that rest is good for your health, Master.]
"Heh, you're a terrible liar. I heard what you said earlier, Karen."
[Tsk, then why ask.]
"...."
[Then have a good rest, Master. ]
"Hey, Karen, explain to me what do you mean by saying I'm lazy?!!"
