You will never be a real Koji

Walmart (Christmas Special)

(Shinohara POV)

Karuizawa-san left me in a trolley during a tour in the supermarket.

"Aaa! I'm dizzy!"

"Grow up! I thought you're a big girl just like us?"

"That's the fish section! Fishes on ice stinks!"

"Don't say that, we need to cook it. I'll not take you out of the cart you little bitch, if you keep crying about stinky fish. Ooh, an octopus!"

"Wah! You're not rolling the cart anymore?"

Karuizawa-san held more things such as a milk carton, more canned food, more tuna, and an eggplant. I wanted to eat the eggplant when she was not looking.

"Ah! Ayanokouji-kun!"

I greeted Ayanokouji as he passed by the dairy section.

"I'm stuck in the cart, can you help me open the cart?"

I did not know how to get out of it, so I asked for help.

"Nah. Besides I don't have my tools anyway. The cart isn't mine either."

"Doesn't matter if it isn't yours! Please help me, I'm stuck in the cart with more and more things!"

"Ask someone else."

Karuizawa-san filled the cart with so many cartons and eggplants that I could not crawl out.

"Kiyo...taka?"

"Oh, hey."

"Can I see what you're holding?"

Ayanokoji-kun was holding a brown box of ice-cream. It was a new brand, I wonder.

"I wonder if I can learn how to make my own. I can't find any measuring cylinders or burettes here, so this box is only what I got."

Burettes? This isn't a chemistry experiment or anything!

Waaah!

"I invited a Senpai to my room, wanna join?"

"Ahh! Mou, do you have protection?"

"No, we're not going to do anything to him. Thing is, I don't know that grade well. Let's just put our doubts behind."

"Wah, you weirdo!"

Pushing me to checkout, Ayanokouji-kun and Karuizawa-san loaded the cart full as if they no longer needed to hold anything by hand.

"Oopsie, Shinohara-san isn't what we bought. We are sorry... can we back off everything and re-order?"

Karuizawa-san tried to hug me and forced an awkward excuse to the receptionist. In the form as an apology and a request to reconsolidate everything they bought.

"I don't have enough points... I can't pay everything all at one go, right?"

"I'm very sorry. You'll have to re-queue to replace your order. I'd assume you came here because the automated scanners are too small to scan this... um... human, right? Here is your new queue number."

The cashier printed a slip with another number from the receipt printer and when it came out, he involuntarily crumpled the slip with a strong grip.

"Y...yes."

Ayanokouji-kun bowed to the cashier.

"Hold on, excuse me. I think someone behind you is waiting. What he carries seems heavy, so would you pack your things and wait at the front counter?"

We were moved to the front counter by another staff. It was so dizzy for me when the cart spun around.

"Aaah!"

"It's okay, Shinohara-chan."

I need to puke... but there were too many things in the cart.

"Um... hello, when can you get me out of the cart?"

"Until we pay for all the groceries- oh wait, let's get another cart. I'm sorry to put you in."

"That's okay."

I beamed with cheerfulness but it made Karuizawa-san disgusted or confused.

"Did you change or what...?"

"No, it's just being me!"

"Come on, we need to pay for these by 6."

It was evening, almost 6pm. Even though I was sitting inside the trolley, I still passed items to Ayanokouji-kun to pack into a grocery bag.

Walking towards us was a brown-haired boy and a plastic bag. The plastic bag was around 1.2m with legs.

"Miya...moto-kun?"

Karuizawa-san was shocked.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Sorry, I need to talk to Miyamoto alone."

Ayanokouji-kun forced Miyamoto-kun into a corner.

"Huh... why? I don't have anything to do with this!"

From a distance, he threatened Miyamoto at the far end of the supermarket.

"Karuizawaaaa! Get me out of here!"

I was still stuck in the cart, this reminder was when I tried to walk away.

"I'm so sorry~, I have no idea how."

"Then lift the cart upside down. Where's Kanji? I need a-"

She lifted the cart upside down, dropping me to the ground with a bang. My back hit the ground first.
