Chapter 92:

My True Home

New Leaf!


Together, we walked through Beattie’s Heart. The place was so lively with people, and the architecture made the place so joyful and great to be at. I can’t believe this is only my second time coming here.

“Okay.”

“Um…”

We spoke at the same time when we stopped on the side of traffic.

My eyes widened and I pointed at Ren.

“Oh, sorry! What were you saying?”

“Oh, nothing really… You go.”

“R-Right…”

Hm… My only concern is that I’m probably being an inconvenience to Ren. This trip is supposed to be for me but I don’t know where to go… And I don’t have a strong interest in interior design, so I’m okay with anything… So…”

“So Ren, I’m-”

“Oh, and please don’t apologize.”

“M-Mind reader!”

What? How’d he know that I was going to apologize? Woah… I’m glad I befriended him…

I shook his head.

“Not really. It’s more like an assumption based on the evidence…”

He put his finger on his chin as he thought.

“Well, I kinda figured that you would apologize — I mean, it’s kind of your signature thing…”

“True…”

“During our first shopping trip here, you apologized because you did not know which clothes to get. You’re probably worrying about a similar thing, but for decor.”

“Y-Yeah…”

Ren shrugged.

“I don’t intend to recite it again, but remember that this won’t be the only time we go here. And remember that I’m affluent and you have a job…”

“Hm…”

A determined look spread through my face and I put my hands on Ren’s shoulders.

“You know, you’re right! Ren, let’s do this.”

“O-Okay… But we’re just shopping, so you don’t have to be so serious…”

And so, we went to a ton of different shops. After about two hours, were left with pretty large shopping bags.

Okay, here is what we have bought so far! The first thing we did was go to this place where things for the bed were sold. So, we bought a set of really comfortable pillows. And after, we bought a bed set — it had a blue colour palette with a striped design, and everything was so soft. Like, when I tried it at the shop and tried it, I almost fell asleep… Actually, I did… fall asleep…

“Ah! Ren, why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Oh? S-Sorry, but you looked comfortable and I didn’t want to disturb you…”

“Ah! With the nap I took earlier, my sleep schedule is definitely going to get effed up!”

“S-Sorry…”

Eh, I wasn’t really mad about it.

Next, we went clothes shopping again! According to Bailey, she expected me to have a cuter sleep set. But whatever — the clothes that Ren lent me are still good, dammit!

I’m not really a fashion diva, so I just choose what works. Like, if I need a shirt, I’ll buy a shirt. And if I need pants, I’ll buy a set of pants. But if I see clothes that look comfy, I’ll buy those instead. And it’s not like I’m totally oblivious to my tastes. Like, if I see a sweater with a cool design, I’ll buy that sweater. And if I see something with colours I like, I’ll buy that thing. And if I see a cool HAL Ally or Rebel Quest design, I’ll probably buy those…

“Hey Ren, what do you think about this one?”

“Oh… Camryn, you know we’re in the men’s section, right?”

“Eh? So it’ll probably be big on me… But do they have this one in women’s mode!?”

“Um…”

“I see… But do you think I’ll grow into the smallest one?”

“Um…”

And lastly, we went to a toy store! I thought I wouldn’t totally child out and become giddy here, but I totally did child out and become giddy here. But who wouldn’t? Oh, it’s anyone that’s not me… But whatever. The things here were so cool. Like, there were many things that caught my attention! Boardgames… Balls… These things with wheels that looked cool… Wow!

“Huh? Ren, what’s this? It’s Cente Tower!”

“Yeah… There are a bunch of bricks, and you build a replica of the tower.”

“Eh? Really? Oh, that’s so cool… Oh, but the price… So expensive…”

“...”

“Are you going to say something?”

“Hm? About what?”

Oh well… At that toy store, we just bought some cute plushies that would decorate my bed…

Oh, I forgot about one thing — we actually went to a furniture shop. There, we decided to buy a chair, a wardrobe, a dresser, and a work desk. All of them were brown, so they neatly match each other! And they were all ordered, so they are arriving tomorrow…

Really, I’m so excited about this.
