The Supermarket King

Backstage Stories
CitronDirector, what are you doing?
IzumiChecking the fliers. There's nothing better than to surpress food and miscellaneous expenses.
CitronI see, I know about that! Lighting fire to your hair!
IzumiDon't light fire to your hair, it's nails, nails! [1] Anyway, that's an exaggeration, in reality nothing is going to be lit up.
...Hmm? This flier, it's from the supermarket in front of the station. There's a special sale today.
The vegetables and milk are cheap, even tissues is cheap too! I can't possibly hold all of these by myself...
I'd like to go shopping to the supermarket in front of the station, but I wonder if there's anyone that can go with me.
ItaruPass.
BanriI'll pass too.
HisokaZz... Zz...
IzumiEh, everyone's so cold... That's right, once in awhile, Tenma-kun, can I ask you a favor?
TenmaHuh? Why me?
ItaruYou have work so you don't help much at the dorm, right? Like washing the dishes or cleaning the practice room.
TenmaThat can't be helped, you know?
ItaruSo, why don't you just help Director-san on your free day?
CitronI also weeded the courtyard yesterday. Tenma, this is your chance to raise your hippo[2]!
BanriReputation[3], you mean.
IzumiTenma-kun, please! Your favorite sweets, I'll buy you one!
TenmaHow old do you think I am, a kindergarten child?! Geez, I'm not going.
IzumiStill not willing, huh. But, the other people are...
CitronOh, it's disappointing, however, under the legislation of my country, supermarket is a sacred place for women, so men are prohibited from entering.
TenmaHuh?
HisokaZz...
ItaruAlright, 10 minutes left till my strength gauge is full.
BanriOkay, let's meet at the entrance of Star Dragon's forest in 10 minutes.
ItaruShit, I forgot to reassemble the equipment. 9 minutes left... Barely made it.
Izumi...See, everyone has things to do.
TenmaWhere?! Citron is blatantly lying! Hey, you're all unfair!
BanriIt's not a lie, Itaru-san and me do have things to do.
ItaruExactly. We are busy saving the world of Aleucia.
TenmaIf you have the time to save a world in another place, you should rather save someone close to you.
CitronOh, Tenma is so cruel. To let a lady like Director carrying heavy groceries all by herself. What an evil girl!
ItaruEvil act.
IzumiDo you have anything to do, Tenma-kun?
Tenma...
Izumi...
TenmaAh, I get it already! I'm going, alright, I'm going!
IzumiAlright. Then, let's head out quickly.
TenmaSigh... I have nothing but bad feeling.
IzumiWhoa, so crowded... As expected from special sale day. Even the bargain's writing is sparkling.
TenmaDamn, what am I doing in a place that stinks of poverty...
IzumiThere there, just think that this is another social studies. Here, the shopping list.
TenmaHuh? I have to go searching too?
IzumiIt's because there are a lot of people here, if we don't divide our job then it'll take longer time, and the things that I want to buy would be sold out by then.
Tenma...Geez, can't be helped then.
IzumiListen, Tenma-kun? The special sale day in the supermarket is a battlefield. The aunts might be tough, but do not falter when attacking the counter.
TenmaWhat's that even...
IzumiThat's what this fight is about. Alright, let's pray for good fight!
TenmaYeah, yeah...
Izumi(Although with that said... Tenma-kun, he never did shopping at the supermarket. Surely, he'd be okay.)
(It should be fine if he doesn't get overwhelmed by the aunts' power)
Somehow, I managed to buy it... But as I thought, all of the popular items are already sold out.
Tenma-kun is...
TenmaYou're slow.
IzumiSorry, sorry. ...Wait, inside this bag, all of the sale items?!
It's the stuffs that I gave up because they're too popular! Tenma-kun, you're amazing...
TenmaFu fu, you can say that again.
IzumiHow in the world did you manage to buy these?
TenmaAh... I was in the morning drama the other day.
IzumiMust be a drama series that's popular with the housewife, huh.
TenmaSo, the shopping aunts who remember my face cooperated with me in various ways.
Like getting the bargain sale until my time, or teaching me that it's more profitable to buy things in bulk.
IzumiI see...
TenmaBut in exchange, a lot of them want handshakes or sign to the point that my arms hurt now.
Some of them even stroked my head.
Izumi(With that said, Tenma-kun does better than I thought)
TenmaWhat's with that smirk?
IzumiNothing. It helps me a lot that all of the bargain stuff are bought.
Well, asking Tenma-kun is a right thing to do. Popular people sure are different!
TenmaHumph. Well, if it's only this much then you can just depend on me.
IzumiAs expected from you. As I thought, I can rely on Tenma-kun!
TenmaFinally do you understand how awesome I am? Well, I'm the man who will win the best actor awards all around the world.
IzumiYes, yes.
(...From now on, I'll bring Tenma-kun along to every bargain sale. Let's do just that)
