Miku

I'm home—

Chieri

Miku!! Chieri is mega-amazing today!

Miku

You startled me...! Can you just say hi normally?

Chieri

Chieri is not someone who can be contained by "normal."

Miku

Yeah, yeah. So what is so amazing today?

Chieri

Hehe. Miku is not the only one who knows what we are running low on at home.

Chieri

Ta-da!! The union leader has personally restocked our everyday essentials!

Miku

What!?

Chieri

You are surprised, and you want to admire me too, right? I picked up eeevery last thing at the convenience store!

Miku

Oh... So that is what happened...

Chieri

You are so amazed you are holding your head...! It is a little dramatic, but I will allow it!

Miku

No, that is not it. I bought some too...

Chieri

Wha...?!

Chieri

B-But Chieri got back first! Besides, Chieri must have bought more things than Miku did!

Miku

I just hope we got different things... What did you buy, Cherie?

Chieri

So this is a restocking contest...! All right. Chieri accepts your challenge!

Chieri

Ahem... First up, from the leader of the Chieri Union... Toilet paper!

Miku

See? I got that too. It's right here in my other hand, not in the bag. You can tell just by looking, right?

Chieri

Hmph... Then item number two... Toothpaste!

Miku

*Sigh*... I bought that too.

Chieri

Urgh... How about this? Plastic wrap!

Miku

Yep, I got that too. Even the same size...

Chieri

Then, fabric softener refill!

Miku

That too. At least it is a different scent, so that is okay.

Chieri

We are even so far...! But Chieri still has a final secret weapon!

Chieri

Here we go... Ta-da!! Dish soap!

Miku

Bought it. Double-size refill.

Chieri

Wha...?! It is twice the size of Chieri's...!

Miku

Is that everything you bought, Cherie? Then I guess this one is not a duplicate.

Miku

Rubber gloves. Separate from the ones for the kitchen and bathroom, I thought we could use them for hand-washing Shizuku's clothes.

Chieri

Ugh, you pulled even farther ahead...! Chieri is amazing, but Miku is even more amazing...!

Miku

Hehe.

Chieri

Why are you laughing? Is that the confidence of a winner?

Miku

No. It is just that this has never happened before.

Miku

(When I lived with my mother, I was the only one who ever bought backup supplies.)

Chieri

? I do not really understand, but I will not lose next time!

Miku

Let's make sure there is no next time. From now on, we should message each other before we go shopping.

Miku

Convenience stores are expensive too, so we can share information about drugstore sales...

Miku

You know, the whole "let us know" thing.

Chieri

"Lettuce"...? Then Chieri is bok choy!

Miku

What...?

Chieri

Bok choy sounds rarer than lettuce, right? Chieri's vegetable choice is a winner, too!

Miku

That is not what I meant...!

Miku

(You little monster... Listen when someone is talking!)
