Chapter 1

We’re having barbecue for lunch today, right? I’m looking forward to it~♪

Yeah. We should probably go shopping soon. Is there anyone who wants to come–

Meeeee! I shall go! Picking and choosing human ingredients looks fun~!

Keep it down next to Toi! The hell would you do if you messed up his eardrums?!

I think we can leave it to Netaro if it’s just buying groceries.

I think so too. But the list is pretty long, so I’m worried about letting him go alone. Maybe it’d be easier if you take the car.

The car, hm… In that case, someone with a license needs to go with him.

Toi and I are gonna help out around the shop, so I’m out.

But. Someone who’s got common sense and can keep an eye on him should go with him. Who knows what the hell Yowa’ll end up buying if he goes alone.

Someone who has a license, is sensible, and can watch over him… Then that leaves Chief-san, Nagi-kun, and Danny-san?

Danny would likely buy nothing but alcohol.

Haha, that’s right! You know me.

Then I will—

I want Doudou to come with me! I feel like hanging out with Doudou today!

Me? Sure. Then let’s go together.

…….Ah. Okay, be careful.

Netaro, don’t cause too much trouble for Chief. You can have up to 7 pieces of hard candy.

That’s a lot.

Okay~! Let’s take off, Doudou!

W-Woah! Don’t pull on me, Netaro-kun~!!

Lean meat, beef tongue, onions, bell peppers, shrimp, scallops– What else do we need again? …Oh, butter. I wonder which aisle it is in.

Doudou, these too!

Woah, you brought a lot! They’re all colorful and cute, but it’s all snacks. I don’t think we can buy all of that…

Whaaaa, I want them all~! I want a basket filled to the brim with them~!

Sorry, we’re on a budget. I think I can buy at least a few for you, though. …Hm?

This is— Nice find, Netaro-kun! This will be perfect for the barbeque!

Ehehe. Right~?
