Lilith's POV
"Well, we are going to buy things for you." He looked at and said in his usual blatant tone.
"Ehh?" I was a bit confused. Buying things for ? But I don't need anything. I know he is not lying since I can read his mind.
"Don't read my mind, just ask it." He said, while glancing at as we were walking. This guy's intuition scares sotis.
"Umm… you won't answer it anyway, so it's better to just read your mind."
"Huh, we are going to buy clothes for you since you said you don't have any spare ones."
"Ehh… wait.. Wha… What?" Is this really Sakamaki? He is acting weird.
"Did I say sothing wrong?" He asked as we entered the mall.
The inside of the mall was cold compared to the outside. There was a strange sll that hit . I don't know what it was. Back in the days, supermarkets were not like this. The whole floor was brightly illuminated with bright lights and there were many people around us.
"Hold my shirt if you don't want to get lost again." He said.
"Don't worry, I can use the spell again."
"You would cast a spell with so many eyes on you?" He questioned. I looked around and indeed my weird outfit was making receive a lot of stares. I can't cast the spell in anonymity here.
"F… Fine." I grabbed a hold of his shirt and started following him. This is so embarrassing.
He sat in the waiting area near the won's clothing section and told that I can buy clothes for myself. I was a bit excited since this is my first ti shopping in the human realm. Of course the vast difference in fashion in Hell and the Human realm always amazed . Clothes in hell would be what people here would term as flashy. I an, my outfit was flashy from their perspective, too.
"You aren't high, right?" I asked him.
"Do I look like soone who smokes?" He retorted back.
"Alright." I nodded and went on my way.
I was browsing through the clothes when I rembered; I forgot to ask him about his budget. Don't want to leech my clothes off him just because he was offering them. I cast my telepathic spell and contacted him.
"Hey, Sakamaki-kun"
"Yeah?"
"How much is your budget?"
"Don't worry about it."
"Really?"
"No… wait, actually keep it within 5000 Yen."
"Ok." I turned off my spell.
But 5000 Yen was still a lot. Where does he get all this money from? I know he doesn't have any jobs or other diums of earning. That would only an that his parents send him money. Talking about his parents, he never talks about them. Neither have they co to visit him since I arrived here. All I know is that he lives alone, separated from them. There must be a reason for that, I guess, because no child would want to live apart from their parents.
It took nearly an hour to choose the correct outfits for because I was going to buy sothing which would look flashy but would be uncomfortable as hell. That pun was intended. But I picked so really comfortable clothes which were made of cotton material because I know it's the most efficient material in the human realm for clothing.
I was carrying a lump of clothes in my arms since I had no basket or trolley with . I walked up to Sakamaki, and he looked at in surprise.
Did I buy a lot? Does he think I'm leeching off him?
"Is that all?" He asked, and I nodded.
He nodded and took the clothes from my hands and put them in a basket beside him. He gestured to follow him. He was heading for the billing counter. Knowing him, I knew I was under his budget because if I wasn't he would be just blunt about it and tell .
Looking at the bill confird my hunch. It was all under 4000 Yen.
It was already sunset, and we were walking back ho as I was holding the plastic in which all my clothes were packed. But I still couldn't understand why he did all this for ? I've only been living with him for over two months now, but he still didn't have any solid reason to be so generous towards .
"Can I ask you sothing?"
"Go ahead." He gave a weird look. "Because you're going to read my mind if I said no." He added and glanced at .
"Uhh… well… why did you buy all this?"
"Since you said that you wanted so spare ones."
I recalled the event where I spilled orange juice on my clothes and was wearing his shirt because I had no spare outfits with . I didn't know he was this considerate. I always thought of him as an asshole.
"I never said I wanted spare clothes. I said that I don't have spare clothes."
"Sa thing." He shrugged.
I think he is lying, so I'll read his mind again. As I tried to read his mind, I found nothing but empty thoughts. There was silence in his mind. Was he trying to hide his thoughts from ? Maybe I'm overthinking this.
"Well… Thank you."
"Huh?" He looked at in surprise. I guess he wasn't expecting to thank him.
Even though I couldn't read his mind to know his true motives, I was happy that he was a bit considerate to . Albeit, I can be wrong. Since knowing what kind of person he is, there is a possibility that he has his own ulterior motives behind this act.
Well, for the ti being, I don't care. I will cherish this mont.
"What?" He asked as I realised that I was smiling at him.
"Nothing" Our walk continued with silence between us the rest of the way.
