"This time, I'll pay. You can pay next time!" Not giving Hashiko Yui a chance to respond, Rita snatched a 5,000-yen bill and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"..."
Hearing Rita's words, Hashiko Yui stopped what she was doing. She felt that Rita was less like a Briton and more like someone from Shenzhou. Didn't Westerners usually split the bill? The people from Shenzhou she knew always said things like this whenever it was time to pay, all scrambling to pick up the tab.
"Shopkeeper, the bill..."
Rita stared at the shopkeeper, who was blankly staring at her, raised an eyebrow slightly, and spoke again, her voice a little louder than before.
"Y-yes, sorry!"
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties. It took Rita calling him twice before he finally came to his senses.
It was not that he had never seen foreigners before. This was Tokyo, a city Japan had poured its national resources into developing. Foreigners could be found everywhere in this metropolis. But it was his first time seeing a foreigner as beautiful as her.
"Your change..."
After taking the money, the shopkeeper steadied himself before giving Rita her change.
"Mm."
After taking the money, Rita immediately led Hashiko Yui out of the convenience store.
Once outside, Hashiko Yui and Rita opened their packages and began eating in small bites. They ate in an exceedingly ladylike manner, chewing each tiny bite slowly, like two adorable little hamsters, drawing the attention of quite a few passersby.
However, no one came over to disturb them.
Though they seemed to be eating slowly, it did not actually take long. After finishing, Rita looked at the girl beside her. Without a mirror, she could not see what she herself looked like, but the girl before her was certainly pleasing
