In short, the white fox displayed an exceedingly firm will to cling to the green hills and never let go, unwaveringly continuing to set its sights on Jiu Ming...
Well~
No matter what, that was something for the future. It could talk about it once it managed to find Jiu Ming again!
Sensing Jiu Ming vanish once more, the white fox threw back its head and let out a furious howl. It was not the cry of any mountain beast, yet the Exotic Beasts that heard it fled into the distance in blind panic...
"...All right, I should have expected your terrible shopping habits." Seeing the enormous pile of ingredients stacked outside the house, c.c lightly tapped her arm and nodded in a tone utterly devoid of surprise. They had been piled outside because the kitchen simply could not hold them all.
Jiu Ming's shopping habits were entirely tied to the principle of having too much rather than too little. Well, that was the flattering way to put it. Put less kindly, the guy was just too lazy!!
So c.c could more or less guess what had gone through Jiu Ming's mind while buying groceries. Nothing more than: since he was buying them anyway, he might as well buy everything, so he would not have to make another trip if something was missing...
What about the extra?
Keep it for now. It would not go bad anyway, and if it was needed later, that would save another trip.
"...You've got the nerve to say that about me?"
Jiu Ming did not even raise his eyelids. His shopping habits truly were awful, but they were convenient. As for c.c's shopping habits—one had to say that this witch, who had lived for a very long time, was especially good at spending money!
