I paid too much for Feiwuluo

[Task: Running errands]

[Reward: lollipop x1; ​​praise xN; pocket money xN]

[Task description: This is a job that you may receive from your parents/relatives no matter how old you are.It will take up your time and your energy, but luckily it's not that difficult.

Please go to the designated place to make purchases according to the shopping list. ]

[Reminder: The location has been marked on the map, you can open the map to view]

Alice took the map out of her pocket.

On the map, a flickering spot of light appeared in the blank area next to the Barbara—it was only then that she remembered that this map had the characteristic that "areas that have not been explored will not be recorded".

In short, places that Alice has not been to will not appear on this map, even including the road leading to that place.

Alice hasn’t been to the supermarket near Barbara yet—the last time was because there were too many things to buy, Kusanagi simply took Alice to the big shopping mall in the city center (because the scale is large enough, there is an ocean ball amusement park ).

The town where Barbara is located is a small city on the edge of Tokyo.It takes about half an hour to drive from here to Tokyo, even if the traffic is good.

So it's useless even if you label it intimately, not to mention that Alice doesn't know where she is on the map at all-it's also a great knowledge to identify where she is.

Alice sighed heavily.

This map is neither torn nor soaked (I tried it in the shower yesterday).She also threw it in the kitchen bin, only to find it was back in Alice's pocket today.

Anna watched Alice take something out of her pocket, unfold it, and examine it carefully—there was obviously only air—and lowered her eyes silently.

However, Kusanagi Izumo was more worried about Alice and Anna being kidnapped than getting lost.

After all, Barbara has many enemies.

But you can't keep children from going out, otherwise it will affect their physical and mental development.

"So when you go out, go to Hatta first, he said he will wait for you at the intersection." Kusanagi took out a small oval object that you might think was Tamagoko if you didn't look closely, and hung it around Alice's neck.

It's a child alarm with a pull pin at the bottom.

"If you meet the weird uncle like last time outside again, just pull this pull button, understand Liz?" He said while stroking Alice's head, "But don't mess with it normally. .It’s loud enough to scare people.”

In fact, Kusanagi didn't say anything, but when he said it, Alice really cared.

After getting the shopping list, she came out of the barbara, and she was tinkering with the child alarm hanging around her neck all the way, which made Anna very worried.

This curiosity lasted until they met Hatta.

"Anna! Little one!" Misaki Hatta, who was standing at the intersection, saw them.

The snow on the sidewalk was swept once, and after a few hours, it collected a thin layer again.But Misaki Hatta didn't seem to be affected at all, put down the skateboard in her hand and slipped in front of them.

"It's so slow, you two."

He complained casually, and his slightly frowned brows soon loosened: "Go to the supermarket now?"

Um?if not?Alice raised her head and looked at him: "Can I go somewhere else before going to the supermarket!"

Hatta Misaki choked: "...Impossible." Mr. Kusanagi specifically asked him to finish shopping as soon as possible and then take the two little guys back to Barbara.

"Oh..." Alice was so disappointed.It's not for nothing that her map is blank.

Since returning from going to the Ocean Ball Amusement Park last week, she hasn't even been to the small parks around Barbara.One is because the illness is not recovering; the other is that the snow has been abnormal this year, and it is only December.

The continuous week of heavy snow made many places closed to the public, and the streets became extremely deserted.

The cold wind blowing across her cheeks made Alice hide her face in her scarf.

At first she put her hands in the small pockets of the down jacket, but the heat was still lost quickly, and her hands became icy cold after a while.

Then she went to hold Anna's hand instead, and Anna's hand was warm.As a member of the Red Clan, she is also deeply affected by the flames, so it is not a problem to wear a small dress in winter, which is very different from Alice who was wrapped into a bear by Kusanagi.

The fly in the ointment is that Anna's hands are too small, she can only hold Alice's palm or the back of her hand, and there is always one side that needs to be exposed for the wind.

"Anna, I'm so cold..." Alice clenched her fists and squeezed her frozen fingers into her palms, but her fingers were sore and she didn't feel any warmth.And I had to ask Anna to wrap her fingers.

Anna is so nice!Alice shook the hand held by Anna, shaking her head happily.

Really like a puppy.

Hatta Misaki who was walking behind them thought so.

However, Alice's joy did not last long.

Another gust of cold wind blew - stronger than before, even Misaki Hatta squinted her eyes.

Alice's teeth chattered from the gust of wind, and the little bit of blush on her face was frozen away again.

"Damn! Why is it so cold!" Alice jumped forward, her hands and feet were cold.

Even snow boots as thick as suede and cashmere lining can't stop General Dong's pervasive attack.

"Because you lack exercise." Misaki Hatta took up her words later, "Eat more, go out for running and jumping every day, and when your health improves, you won't be afraid of the cold."

Upon hearing this, Alice looked back angrily at Misaki Hatta.

The upper body of this person is a not too thick padded jacket, but the lower body is actually a pair of cropped trousers!Even the shoes are the most common sneakers, and they are still the kind of thin soles that can feel painful when stepping on small stones!

Seeing his cool attire, Alice couldn't help shivering. She snorted and muttered: "But you are not afraid of the cold because of Zhou Fangzun..."

"Huh?" Misaki Misaki had sharp eyes and ears, and didn't miss her thoughts at all, "Even without Brother Zun, I'm not afraid of the cold. When I was the same age as you, I wore short sleeves and rolled in the snow every day!"

Japan, a strange country, not only drinks ice water in both winter and summer, but also insists on wearing less clothes for children in winter, which is called exercising.

Kusanagi Izumo, who was physically and mentally exhausted after taking care of a small patient for a week, scoffed at this kind of parenting concept, and even said without hesitation, "Anyone who comes up with such a bad idea and tries to brainwash the parents to rationalize the bad idea will be the one who justifies it." They should all be dragged out and burned to death."

What he is most afraid of now is that Alice is sick and has a fever again, so he has to stay close to her, and remember to change ice patches and feed medicines on time.So I am very keen to wrap Alice into a baby bear - it looks very warm and reassuring.

So after being indoctrinated by Kusanagi Izumo's concept of "this is wrong and cannot be done", Alice looked at Misaki Hatta very sympathetically, and sighed softly: "Hey..."

Misaki had a hard childhood.

If that's the case, don't worry too much about him.

Hatta Misaki: "...???"

Although I don't know what this little guy is thinking, but it is definitely not a good thing!

When they arrive at the supermarket, Alice tries to take the small seat in the shopping cart, only to discover sadly that she is over the weight limit.

There are not many things to buy on the shopping list given by Kusanagi Izumo.

In addition to the ingredients needed for today's lunch and dinner, there are two lines written on it.

"3 boxes of strawberry milk".

"You can choose your own snacks, but let Hatta confirm whether you can eat them first."

Strawberry milk is for Zhou Fangzun.This Misaki Hatta knew, and took three boxes and put them in the shopping cart as required.

But the rest of the snacks are all up to Alice and Anna to play freely.

Hatta Misaki followed them all the way pushing the shopping cart, and occasionally she could hear the aunt laughing and saying "Oh, I took my sister out to the supermarket, what a good brother."

It made him feel guilty and blush.

Almost all the snacks that Anna took were tomato or strawberry flavored.

The only thing that is not these two flavors is the pocky in red packaging.

If there is no other means of assistance, her eyes can only see the color red, so she also has a special preference for red things.

And Alice is more varied.But the point of her buying snacks is not what she can eat, but what kind of toys she can get after unpacking.

"Misaki, I want this!" Alice stood on tiptoe and showed him what was in her hand.

"What is this?" Misaki Hatta was confused, and picked up the orange egg-shaped snack.

The product name is printed on the package: Chocolate Egg · Pretty Cure Collaboration Model.

Hatta Misaki glanced at the price: "..." The facial features on his face were crowded together because they were too difficult to describe.

The subway looks at people looking at their mobile phones.

This is too expensive, right? !

One egg is enough to buy three boxes of pocky!

There is no doubt that there is a consumption trap, and businesses that specialize in defrauding children of money have to close down as soon as possible!

He picked up the chocolate egg and shook it to his ear, hearing a clicking sound.

Something was packed inside, and I knew it must be a shoddy little scene figure.

Do not buy! ——He wanted to say that, but when he lowered his head, Alice was looking at him eagerly.

Hatta Misaki: "..."

"I can only buy one." He raised his index finger very seriously.

"Great!"

Unexpectedly, Alice nodded obediently, and happily threw the chocolate egg in her hand into the shopping cart.

Hatta Misaki, who was going to reject her request to buy more, felt relieved, and also inexplicably relieved.

It's quite satisfying to be small...

When she walked to the checkout counter and started queuing up, Alice remembered that she had to go to the baking area to buy pineapple buns.

When she was eating Xiaolongbao this morning, she suddenly had a craving for pineapple buns. To be precise, it was the meringue on the pineapple buns. It is said that this meringue is one of the most delicious things in the world. There should be no objection!

Hatta Misaki looked at the long queue in front of him, and asked Alice to go and come back quickly, while he and Anna waited for her while queuing.

That's a really good idea.Alice ran out immediately, rushing behind a fat uncle to buy the last three pineapple buns that had just been baked.

"Thank you, auntie!" Alice tiptoed to take the bread packed by the staff from above the glass cabinet.

"You're welcome, enjoy your meal." The aunt who poked her head out from behind the cabinet smiled kindly at her.

"Okay!" She agreed crisply.

However, before walking two steps away, Alice heard another child's angry voice behind her: "Auntie! Do you still have pineapple buns!"

"The pineapple buns have just been sold out, sorry little guest."

"But, but, mom is sick and wants to eat pineapple buns, Master Lanbo wants to buy pineapple buns for mom!!"

Alice turned her head, and "Master Rambo" sniffed—it looked like she was about to cry.

Alice carrying a bag of pineapple buns: "Hey..."
