Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

Goto Ichiri: "Well, that... Dad is on a business trip, and Mom has to work overtime today, so she sent me a message asking me to buy tomorrow's ingredients, especially the eggs on sale... This is my first time at a convenience store at this time, and I didn't expect there would be so many people..."

Kitahara Makoto: "Have you bought the ingredients?"

Goto Ichiri: “Not yet…”

Kitahara Makoto: "Can I go shopping for Ichiri?"

Goto Kazuri: "..."

"Since you don't say anything, then let's assume that Ichiri has agreed." Kitahara Makoto put away his phone, looked at Pochi-chan hiding on the other side of the pillar, and said seriously, "Ichiri is a child after all. If he can't see his sister for a long time, he will definitely be scared, right? So let's hurry up and go out after buying things."

Goto Kazuri: "..."

Kitahara Makoto snapped his fingers and said, "Ichiri-san, follow me closely. We are ready to go shopping."

"..."

Goto Ichiri's face turned red as fire, and he followed subconsciously, like a little tail, staying two or three meters behind Kitahara Makoto.

In the eyes of the social phobia, Kitahara Makoto at this moment is clearly like a brave man who saves others in times of crisis...

Kitahara Makoto's mood suddenly improved when he saw Xiaoshekong following him out of the corner of his eye.

Hold still.

Do not worry.

At times like this you have to take it slow.

If you are too anxious, little Pochi will definitely be scared and run away.

Anyway, the kiss has already happened, little Pochi can't continue to deceive himself and use excuses like friends to evade, the next step is to take the initiative and slowly trick Pochi-chan into his hands!

After a while.

"Special offer eggs, take them."

Kitahara Makoto sent a message to Xiaoshekong: "What else do you want to buy next?"

Xiaoshe may not be able to communicate with Kitahara Makoto by speaking for the time being, but there is no problem in sending messages to each other:

"Mom said she wanted to buy another broccoli."

"Broccoli is taken, what else?"

"I also want to buy two cucumbers..."

Chapter 102 Yes, I am attacking you openly

When men and women work together, work becomes less tiring.

Goto Ichiri was giving remote instructions using his cell phone in the back, while Kitahara Makoto was in charge of purchasing in the front, and before long, all the ingredients on the list were bought.

Kitahara Makoto: "Do you want to buy anything else?"

Goto Ichiri: "No need, I've bought everything..."

Kitahara Makoto: "Then let's go pay the bill."

Goto Ichiri looked over, then quickly lowered his head: "Don't you need to buy anything, Kitahara?"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and said:

"I don't really have anything to buy. I just came to the convenience store because I was worried about Ichiri-san."

"..."

Goto Ichiri's face flushed and he never replied.

Kitahara Makoto didn't care. His good mood was not affected at all. He walked towards the cashier with Xiaoshekong.

Getting a socially phobic child to open up is definitely not something that can be done overnight. Don’t be impatient; you must take it slow!

"Ichiri-kun, please wait for me outside." Kitahara Makoto held the shopping bags in both hands, "I'll get in line to pay."

"Uh-huh."

Goto Ichiri nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, and hurriedly walked out in small steps.

To her, queuing up to pay the bill with so many people around was like queuing up to go to the guillotine. It was really terrifying. Now that she had Kitahara Makoto's help, it was naturally the best thing.

There was nothing much to say about paying the bill. Kitahara Makoto queued up to pay the bill, and when he came out, he saw the two little kids had surrounded Goto Ichiri.

"Onii-chan~"

Goto Jiri raised her little face and welcomed him out softly.

On the contrary, Pochi-chan and the beast-eared girl, one looked down at her toes in panic, and the other ate cake with a blank expression, and they had no intention of talking to Kitahara Makoto.

"Ichiri-san, thank you for your help." Kitahara Makoto handed over the shopping bag, "The receipt is inside."

In front of Erli, Goto Ichiri could no longer send messages on his phone. He could only blush and stammer:

"Thank you, thank you Kitahara-san..."

"Eh?" Goto Jiri raised his little face in confusion, "Onii-chan, do you know your sister?"

Kitahara Makoto said seriously:

"Yili and I are classmates, and Yili is my savior."

"Eh hey hey?" Goto Jiri's eyes widened immediately, with a curious expression on his face, "Sister is actually my savior?"

Kitahara Makoto said without changing his expression:

"I have hypoglycemia. Some time ago, I was busy going to school in the morning and forgot to eat. I almost fainted. In the end, it was my kind-hearted classmate Yili who gave me bread. It's not an exaggeration to say that he saved my life, right?"

Goto Jiri looked at him in admiration: "Sister, you are so handsome!"

"Hey~"

Receiving praise from his sister, Goto Ichiri laughed proudly, but immediately covered his mouth with his hand with a red face.

(Wait, wait a minute… I took a bite of the bread… Kitahara-san seemed to have eaten it all later…)

(So…)

(It was already indirect at that time...)

Thinking of this, steam began to rise above Goto Ichiri's head again.

(No way, no way, no way…)

(Could it be that since that time, Kitahara-san has, has already…)

(No, that's impossible!)

(I am not good at studying, sports, or anything else. I am such a useless person, so I will never be popular!)

Goto Ichiri denied himself in his heart as always, but this time, he was obviously feeling guilty.

Shaking his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Goto Ichiri took out his wallet, took out a note of Fukuzawa Yukichi, turned his head away, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice:

"Um, um... this is the money for the ingredients..."

"I accepted it."

Kitahara Makoto would naturally not refuse. Even if he wanted to cough lightly, with Pochi-chan's personality, he would never agree.

but……

"I don't have any change on me at the moment." Kitahara Makoto smiled, "Can you give the change to Ichiri tomorrow?"

"..."

Goto Ichiri looked up cautiously, and when he saw the smile on Kitahara Makoto's face, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and then he lowered his head in panic.

It was reasonable to not have change, and there was nothing wrong with it, but a girl's intuition told Goto Ichiri...

Excuse!

It's clearly an excuse!

Kitahara Makoto must have some pocket money. The reason he said this is just because he wants... wants...

Goto Ichiri didn't dare to think further and could only stammer and whisper in response:

"No, no problem..."

"Then let me put it this way. I'll give the change to Ichiri tomorrow." Kitahara Makoto smiled. "Also, next time Ichiri comes to the convenience store to buy something, you can call me for help. No matter if it's day or night, windy or rainy, I'll be there for Ichiri."

"..."

Goto Ichiri's face was burning hot, and he lowered his head, not daring to respond.

If it were in the past, she would still deceive herself and interpret Kitahara Makoto's words as warm-hearted, gentle, and helpful, but now she can no longer deceive herself...

Kitahara Makoto invited:

"Xiaohua and I are going to get something to eat. Yili-san, do you and Erli want to join us?"

"Ichiri and I have already eaten." Goto Ichiri shook his head quickly, "We need to go home now."

Kitahara Makoto nodded, and naturally would not force it, but said in a gentle voice:

"Ichiri-kun, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow..."

After finishing her words, Pochi-chan hurried home with Erli.

Kitahara Makoto hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message to Pochi-chan:

"Yili, report back to me when you get home. The Windbreaker Ghost might still be wandering around nearby. Be careful and don't go down the alleys. If you see something wrong, don't hesitate to tell me immediately and I'll rush over right away."

Not long after, Goto Ichiri replied: "Hey, will that windbreaker evil spirit appear again?"

Kitahara Makoto: "We can't rule out this possibility. Anyway, safety comes first. Tell me immediately if you encounter danger."

Goto Ichiri: "I, I understand..."

Next was time to eat and drink. Kitahara Makoto and the beast-eared girl began to eat and drink to their heart's content. During this time, they received a message from Pochi-chan, saying that he and Erli had returned home safely.

Eat and drink enough.

Kitahara Makoto took the animal-eared girl home and took out the cookie box he got from Erli.

[You have obtained an optimizable item, do you want to optimize it now? ]

"optimization."

Kitahara Makoto gave the order decisively.

Now when I return home, I don’t have to worry about attracting attention.

As the optimization began, Kitahara Makoto soon felt something being drawn out of his body. A slight tiredness surged into his heart, and then a dim star-like light began to light up on the cookie box.

However, given the situation with the drum washing machine, Kitahara Makoto no longer dares to hold too high expectations.

After a while.

The glimmer on the cookie box faded.
