Shoplifting Suspect 4
| <- Review? | Read Next -> |
“What? Something happened at the bookstore?”
“No… It’s just fallout from what you did. Right now the electronics store owner and some others are congregated.”
“Yeah, and what’s going on?”
“I overheard them talking about things.”
“Yeah, and what were they talking about?”
“Stuff like, ‘I thought they were suspicious from before’ and ‘They’re not allowed here anymore’…”
“WHAAAAAAT!?”
We immediately glared back at Chuzai-san.
Then his wife asked him,
“Oh my. Did you do something?”
So we took the opportunity to inform her that we were suddenly dragged out and that we’re now suspected of shoplifting. We exaggerated a lot.
“What!? You did something like that?”
Chuzai-san’s wife asked him.
“Well… maybe this time… the medicine worked too well…”
“It’s not medicine! What are you going to do about it?”
“I agree. That went too far.”
“I… I’ll talk to the shop owners later… Sorry.”
It was the first time we’ve seen Chuzai-san this meek. So he was weak to his beautiful wife after all. Since we finally got the chance to openly complain, we continually showered him with complaints.
“First of all, Mr. Policeman, you’re supposed to be an adult!”
“Sorry…”
“We need to keep living in this town!!”
“Sorry…”
“Oh no. I can’t even buy study guides anymore.”
“Sorry…”
“I’m not going to return the porno mags that I borrowed!”
“Sorr… what?”
Take advantage of the confusion plan, failed.
“What? Those books were yours after all?”
Our plan was saved unexpectedly. It might succeed after all because of his dull wife.
“No they’re not. They’re theirs.”
Chuzai-san defended himself.
Without hesitation, we added,
“What!? We’re high schoolers. There’s no way we can buy books like that. But Mr. Policeman, you’re an adult.”
“Hmm. I see.”
“No, Kanako, that’s not right. Don’t let them fool you.”
She’s beautiful, but very dull.
“We won’t say anything about your adult preferences.”
“Wh-what!?”
To Chuzai-san who was in a rage, we said in contempt,
“We’re going to go to the bookstore now!”
In situations like these, you win if you get the last word in.
Although we wanted to see what happened afterwards, we couldn’t overlook what was going on at the bookstore. Either way, my bike was left in front of the bookstore, so we had to go.
As I went to get my bike, the bookstore owner, the electronics store owner, and the record store owner were having a mini shopping district discussion, like Murayama-kun had said. They were all familiar people.
The record store owner asked,
“Hey, did you guys do something?”
His attitude was cold. We were immediately offended.
“No we didn’t!”
“But then…”
“We said we didn’t and we didn’t! We were framed!”
“Really? In that case, it’s ok… but…”
The bookstore owner said. Unlike his words, his eyes showed us his doubt.
In any case, it was almost totally us high schoolers who supported the bookstore and record store in this shopping district, so there was nothing more disrespectful.
On the way back, I pulled over to talk with Saijoh-kun who was on my luggage rack.
“Hey, can you forgive that attitude?”
Saijoh-kun asked.
“No I can’t. After all, I buy my Shounen Champion magazine there every week.”
“Yeah, I buy my ** Fan there every month, too.”
Whaaaaat!? You buy that super porno mag at the bookstore??? The one in town???
“You… have guts…”
“Stop the praises, you idiot.”
I wasn’t praising you, you idiot.
This is how our resolution to get back at the shopping district was decided.
