After the two got dressed, they headed out to the grocery store. Tomoe was dressed in a black leather jacket, black sunglasses, a white tank, blue denim shorts, and black boots. While Valentina was dressed in a gray sweater with a ripped boob-window, ripped jeans, and pink shoes. Leading to the women getting stares of both attraction and terror on their way to the store.

  I'm going to send some guys after all those guys looking at her with lustful gazes. Tomoe glared around her. Looking behind her, Tomoe saw new recruits following her from a distance. With a wave of her hand, the new recruits had dispersed throughout the crowd. Good, if anyone is staring too long, there are people on standby. Tomoe chuckled to herself. "Did you think of a funny joke?" Valentina looked at Tomoe, " You could say that. A yakuza joke." Tomoe smirked.

  "That doesn't sound good." Valentina pouted, "Does it concern you if it's bad?" Tomoe cocked her brow. "It does." Valentina huffed. "Well, too bad, puppy." Tomoe snickered, "Frozen dragon." Valentina turned her head away. During their walk, Tomoe felt Valentina's hand constantly saying to hers. "You want something?" Tomoe asked. Valentina nodded, keeping her eyes on the sidewalk. "Do you want to hold my hand like a child?" Tomoe asked, "Y-yeah." Valentina whispered.

  Tomoe sighed, grabbing Valentina's hand. God, give me strength. Because patience is going to make me combust and kiss her in public. No, you're straight, Tomoe. But it wouldn't hurt, right? A little secret never hurt anyone. No, you've only known her for two days. Actually, I don't think it would matter to her. Let's wait til tomorrow to see if these feelings are real. Tomoe looked away from Valentina. Once they got to the grocery store, the door greeter gave a nervous greeting before walking away from their position.

  "Why did they go away?" Valentina asked, "Because they know me." Tomoe released Valentina's hand. "Now then. First on the list is salmon. Then sausages, cod, tuna, rice, chicken, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, celery, wasabi, potatoes, wagyu, milk bread, coffee beans, tea, milk, ramen noodles, eggs, protein powder, and mochi. No adding to the list." Tomoe made her way to the fish section. "Ooh, can we get crab, shrimp, and lobster?" Valentia followed Tomoe. "What did I just say about adding to the list?" Tomoe looked over her shoulder. "Pretty please?" Valentina gave Tomoe puppy-dog eyes, fluttering her lashes.

  Tomoe blushed heavily, "Fi-fine. Just that alteration. No more, got it?" Tomoe looked away from Valentina. "Okay." Valentina smiled. As the two looked around the fish section, Tomoe constantly had to keep Valentina from getting distracted. "Okay, we have all of the fish, crab, shrimp, and lobster needed. Next, let's go get the meats." Tomoe handed Valentina the basket. "Okay." Valentina skipped after Tomoe.

  Goddamn, her tits look fucking great bouncing in that sweater. No, stop looking. Tomoe looked away, giving deathglares to any passing men. "Stop skipping in that sweater." Tomoe ordered, "Why?" Valentina tilted her head. "Because I said so. And it looks like you're not wearing a bra." Tomoe added. "E-eh?" Valentina covered her chest. "What, is everyone in Russia just some polite snowflake who doesn't ogle women?" Tomoe asked. "N-no...you just feel...really safe," Valentina whispered.

  Tomoe looked away from Valentina. "Well, I am. No one will think about harming you while I'm around, puppy." Tomoe fought off her blush. "Really?" Valentina asked, "Of course, unless they're suicidal." Tomoe snickered. "That's not something to joke about!" Valentina pouted. "Fine, fine. Just hold the basket." Tomoe looked over cuts of wagyu. After getting everything on the list, Tomoe took the basket from Valentina on their way to the front of the store.

  "Why did you pass the checkout?" Valentina looked back, "Because it's free." Tomoe said. "No, it's not! You have to pay." Valentina pouted, walking over to a cashier. "Eh? Oi, puppy. You don't have any yen on you. Get your ass back over here!" Tomoe walked over to Valentina. And after a stubborn back-and-forth, Tomoe was forced to pay for everything at a heavily reduced amount.

  While walking back, Valentina pulled out a piece of mochi from the pack, tripping before she could take a bite of it. Looking down, Tomoe saw tears beginning to build in Valentina's eyes as Valentina stared at the mochi on the sidewalk. "Get up and take this," Tomoe ordered, giving the bag of groceries to Valentina. Walking back to the store, Tomoe returned to Valentina's side with nine more packs of mochi. "Now stop crying." Tomoe gave Valentina the mochis, taking the groceries back.
