Scout! The Long Pajama Dream (Part 8)

[lilicco]

this is the last part! feat. shopping tips with koga and mao

-Shopping mall 2F-

Mao; Hm? What is it, transfer student? “What kind of pajamas do you suggest?”

Mao; Well, I usually wear hoodies …?

Mao; Oh, you don’t mean me specifically. You should probably ask another girl…

Mao; But there aren’t any other girls with us. Maybe you should ask a female employee…? I can call one over.

Arashi; No, I’m here, aren’t I? When it comes to cute clothes, leave it to me♪

Arashi; Incidentally, I own a lot of lounge wear. Although mens’ clothes aren’t quite cute enough, things intended for girls don’t fit me well.

Arashi; But it’s alright, I look beautiful in anything.

Arashi; I have a diamond-like sparkle, so I can’t really be compared to other people.

Mao; I have a younger sister, but I feel like choosing clothes for her would be a little different… I think out of all of us, Arashi can offer the best advice.

Arashi; Ufufu, sounds good♪

Arashi; I’ll pick something out for Mika-chan too. You’re always wearing sloppy clothes, so I get worried, y’know?

Mika; Ngh, sloppy?

Mika; Fer pajamas, I take clothes outta the garbage, clean ‘em up, mend ‘em and wear those.

Mika; I usually ain’t got money for somethin’ like clothes… An’ they don’t sell pajamas I like anyway.

Mika; There’re a lotta cute ones, but not scary ones, y’know? ‘Cause a that, I’m fine makin’ my own pajamas♪

Arashi; You certainly are different, aren’t you…?

Arashi; I don’t want you to feel forced into buying anything. If you’re satisfied, that’s what’s most important.

Arashi; Mika-chan, I’m going to go with the transfer student to pick out pajamas. What do you want to do?

Mika; Hm… Anzu-chan’s my enemy, but Naru-chan’ll be there…

Mika; ‘Kay, I’ll go too.

Arashi; Yeah? Okay, let’s go! Mao-chan, Ritsu-chan. I’ll see you later…♪

Mao; Whoa… Arashi pulled her into his side and got right up into her space? He’s brave, I could never do that!

Ritsu; Hm~ Are you disappointed you couldn’t help someone out like you usually get to, Maa-kun?

Mao; No, I’m fine with leaving this one to Arashi.

Mao; Even though you said you were going to go with the transfer student too, you didn’t have to go after all. I can’t get rid of you, can I~

Ritsu; Fufufu. Maa-kun has to make looking after me his priority above all else…♪

Mao; Hey, don’t rely on me so much. I’ll do what I can, but you should try harder too.

Ritsu; I think I did my best for at least ten minutes today. So Maa-kun can spoil me now♪

Mao; What? Well, I guess I can relax now either way. Let’s go look at some other stores, since we’re here.

Koga; Ah, you bastards were over here! I couldn’t find you in the guys’ section, so I’ve been lookin’ all over for you.

Koga; Wait, why’re you lookin’ at girls’ pajamas? For the transfer student? I don’t see her here, though?

Mao; The transfer student went with Arashi. He was like, “leave it to me♪” and dragged her off with him.

Mao; So, Ritsu and I were just talking about going to some other stores.

Koga; Hmm. I was tryin’ to get a discount from the employee, and they gave me one so I decided to get somethin’.

Koga; It’s 10% off, so it ended up bein’ a good bargain. Fufu~n♪

Mao; Nice job. There are lots of accessories you need to go with a bed, so it might be good to hold back on buying those until you better prices.

Koga; Yeah, I wanna wait for this big sale in April.

Koga; It sounds like they’re gonna sell all the leftover products at 10% off instead of 5%.

Mao; Ah… Lots of people are moving or refreshing their things in February and March, so there are lots of customers for housewares and appliances.

Mao; They don’t have to have sales to sell products.

Mao; But sales probably fall in the off season, so if they have stuff left over, they’ll knock the price down to get rid of it.

Mao; I’m learning a lot. It’s a good idea to think about the season when you’re buying expensive things.

Ritsu; Maa-kun, you’re becoming a good husband, huh.

Ritsu; If I let Maa-kun do everything for me, I can enjoy my days at a leisurely pace. A mutually beneficial relationship…♪

Mao; How is that mutual? I’d just be doing everything for you. Do you understand the meaning of “mutually beneficial”? It means you both help each other equally.

Ritsu; I know~ I’ll satisfy Maa-kun’s warped desires. By taking care of me, that fulfills your desires.

Ritsu; See, isn’t it a mutually beneficial relationship?

Mao; I think that goes past the point of fulfillment straight to ridiculousness.

Mao; Ugh, I feel like I’d spend my whole life taking care of you.

Koga; Dekosuke.

Mao; Huh? Oh, are you talking to me?

Mao; You never call people by their names, do you~ You even call Arashi “okama bastard”. Could you please use our names, Koga?

Koga; Shaddup. The transfer student and the others are back. I see them over at the register, so they’re probably done shopping.

Mao; Ah, you’re right. I guess she managed to find something she liked~ she’s smiling a lot.

Ritsu; Maa-kun’s smiling a lot too, because other people are happy.

Ritsu; But, I made a good purchase today too. I guess I’m glad I came along…♪
