Nyamu

Huh? Umiko?

Umiri

Yūtenji-san. What a coincidence.

Nyamu

Wait... Were you trying to come over to my place again?

Umiri

No. I had work around here. I just finished a little while ago.

Umiri

And you, Yūtenji-san... Those sunglasses are quite the look. Enjoying your day off, I take it?

Nyamu

No. I'm just trying not to get recognized.

Nyamu

Actually, shouldn't you at least disguise yourself too? People might figure out you're Timoris.

Umiri

I do not mind being recognized. I have no reason to run or hide.

Nyamu

Right... Okay.

Nyamu

Anyway. See you.

Umiri

Since we ran into each other here, it must be fate. I will join you.

Nyamu

Huh? You really do not have to.

Umiri

How cold.

Nyamu

That's not what I mean... I'm just going to the supermarket.

Umiri

The supermarket.

Nyamu

Yeah. I'm out of stuff in the fridge, so I need groceries.

Umiri

You wear sunglasses to go to the supermarket...?

Nyamu

What? Got a problem with that?

Umiri

Of course not.

Umiri

That aside... I didn't know you were the type to cook for yourself, Yūtenji-san.

Umiri

I assumed influencers mostly ate fancy, photogenic meals out.

Nyamu

No way. Only a tiny handful of people can eat like that all the time.

Nyamu

People are always like, "Can't you just write it off?" but it's not like you get all the money back.

Umiri

I see. A behind-the-scenes struggle.

Nyamu

Anyway, what about you, Umiko? Do you cook or anything?

Umiri

Simple things, yes. I make sure I get enough nutrients.

Nyamu

Huh. Kind of surprising.

Umiri

If I want to perform at my best, it makes sense.

Nyamu

True. That counts as beauty care too. Makes calories easier to track.

Umiri

When it comes down to it, self-management pays off.

Nyamu

But when you're busy, even that gets hard~

Nyamu

Wait, I don't have time to stand around chatting. I said I need to go to the supermarket.

Umiri

Yes. That is why I said I would join you.

Nyamu

Huh?

Umiri

I happen to be running low on a few things myself. I will do my shopping here too.

Nyamu

Seriously?

Umiri

Is there a problem?

Nyamu

No... not really... But once we're inside, we split up. Being seen with you could give me away too.

Umiri

That is true. Understood.

Umiri

Then I will see you later.

Nyamu

...

Umiri

You took a while.

Nyamu

(I tried to lose her by coming out later...)

Umiri

That is quite a large bag. What did you buy?

Nyamu

Hey...! Don't look without asking!

Umiri

Eggs, tofu, king oyster mushrooms... A very homey lineup.

Nyamu

They're for quick recipes. They're good for beauty too. Anyway, what did you buy...

Nyamu

Huh? What is all this?

Umiri

Just what it looks like. Protein powder and nutritional supplements.

Nyamu

No, where are the ingredients? You said you cook.

Umiri

I do. I make protein shakes.

Umiri

That makes it a quick, beauty-friendly recipe too.

Umiri

If that puts me on the same page as you, Yūtenji-san, I suppose my instincts were not bad.

Nyamu

Yeah... Sure. Let's go with that.
