Chapter 82

Uraraka Shige and Momotani Hanawa lingered at the entrance of this discount supermarket for a long time. Finally, after the supermarket owner spoke up, they left together and entered the supermarket, arriving at the open space in the middle of the road.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Momotani Hanawa had already calmed down from her guilty conscience and panic, so she Uraraka Shige to Uraraka Shige beside her and asked him the same question he had asked her in the alley, only their roles had been reversed.

In response to her question, Uraraka Shige didn't intend to say anything else. Instead, he extended his hand and got straight to the point, expressing his thoughts.

Give me my money back.

Momotani Hanawa responded decisively and succinctly to Uraraka Shige Shigeaki's direct statement of his demands.

"No!"

She turned her head, puffed out her cheeks, and crossed her arms over her chest, looking exactly like a child with a pout. Combined with her voice, appearance, and figure, she made Uraraka Shige, "This girl is actually quite cute." However, because he was not a lolicon and the hunger that kept coming from his stomach kept him calm.

"They stole my money and then had the audacity to refuse to return it, even acting like a child when they're older than me..."

Uraraka Shige's eyes had returned to their half-open, dull state as he coldly looked at the pretty girl in front of him. After saying these words, he paused for a moment before speaking again to evaluate the girl who called herself Momotani Hanawa.

"You're such a shameless bastard."

Momotani Hanawa, who was being criticized in this Uraraka Shige, was naturally not at the level of accepting others' insults and belittling as if she were being praised. So she deliberately sneered, then raised her head, glared at Uraraka Shige with her nostrils, and puffed out her rather well-proportioned chest, making a disdainful gesture.

"Ha~ This is clearly spoils I obtained through my own abilities, why should I hand it over to you? Besides, didn't I leave you some loose coins? It's best to know how to be content and remember to be grateful!"

Uraraka Shige opposite her, widened his eyes. Although he had already concluded that this guy was shameless, seeing this girl act as if she hadn't heard his mockery and belittling, and even say such things with even more shamelessness, Uraraka Shige immediately felt very unhappy.

"Heh~ Shouldn't you be the one who knows when to be content and be grateful?! You stole my spoils, and now you're lecturing me?"

Uraraka Shige was so angry that he laughed, and at the same time, a rumbling sound came from his stomach, as if in agreement with what he said.

"You... haven't eaten yet?"

After hearing Uraraka Shige's words, Momotani Hanawa didn't pay attention to the negative connotations in them. Instead, she was more concerned about the sounds coming from Uraraka Shige's stomach. She even paused for a moment before asking a question.

What business is it of yours whether I've eaten or not?

Uraraka Shige retorted without hesitation to the girl's words, which were tinged with doubt and disbelief, after she had stolen his money.

He thought the girl would say something unreasonable and stubbornly argumentative like before, but instead, she remained strangely silent for a moment.

"... Heh~ What an unlovable little brother. Fine, since you're so insistent on getting this money back, I'll just return it to you."

After the silence, the girl reverted to the state she had been in when she first met Uraraka Shige in the alley. Uraraka Shige initially surprised and suspicious, but these two emotions quickly dissipated, replaced by a new emotion: doubt.

After Momotani Hanawa finished speaking, she actually took out the banknotes and some loose coins from her pocket. Uraraka Shige could clearly see that the girl had already spent some of the money.

After returning the money, which was already partially gone, to Uraraka Shige, the girl threw her bread and drink at him as well, saying in a nonchalant tone:

"Oh, by the way, little brother, you can take these with you too, since you bought them all with your money anyway..."

This extremely awkward situation left Uraraka Shige momentarily stunned. After instinctively remembering what the girl had thrown at him, Uraraka Shige suddenly and inexplicably thought of the word "tsundere" in his mind.

"Could this guy who calls himself Momotani Hanawa actually be a tsundere?"

What puzzled him even more was why the girl had changed her attitude.

Her change of expression was so rapid that Uraraka Shige was even a little confused about which one was the real her.

Although this wasn't actually a very important matter for Uraraka Shige.

However, after this girl's situation aroused Uraraka Shige's Curiosity, he suddenly stood still and began to ponder deeply, so much so that he momentarily forgot that there was a girl standing next to him who had just recently used a rope to steal some of the spoils he had just plundered.

At this moment, the young girl was looking at Uraraka Shige with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, seeing that Uraraka Shige seemed to have suddenly fallen into deep thought and was not paying attention to her, she subconsciously opened her mouth, then closed it again with a complicated expression, turned around and quietly left without making a sound or waking Uraraka Shige from his thoughts.

That's why, when Uraraka Shige was awakened by the hunger pangs and rumbling sounds in his stomach once again, he didn't even know when or how the girl who called herself Momotani Hanawa had left.

After a moment of silence, unable to resolve his doubts, he picked up the bread and drink the girl had tossed to him, which he had caught, and burst open the package, taking large bites.
