Botan pov: "I win again!" I boasted
My two sisters looked at me and growled slightly.
"Damn it, how did you get so good?" Roha asked
"Well, first of all, I practice every day, and Lamy-chan and Watame are so reliable," I giggled.
They smirked at me and laughed with me, saying, "Let's go again!" Sudama said
"Wow, you two are rowdy!" I giggled.
"Yeah, we are; let's race more!" Roha yelled
"Wait, I'm kind of tired." Lamy-chan panted
"Let me rest my head," Watame said.
"Sorry, I made you overwork," I said.
"Damn, you've been going at it for like an hour." Polka sighed
"It's been six minutes..." I said
"Polka, get a watch," Aloe stated.
"You don't have a watch!" Polka retorted
"Don't talk to Aloe-chan like that, jackass!" Nenechi yelled
"What the heck, why are you so aggressive?" Omarun asked
"Nenechi and Aloe are an item," I said.
"No, we aren't!" The two of them shouted
"Whatever," I giggled.
"What is going on since when have those two shown signs of being together!" Omarun asked
"Since a minute ago," Lamy-chan said.
"Well, I didn't know!" Omarun yelled
"Pay more attention to your friends!" Nenechi said
"Why do I feel attacked?" Omarun asked
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I told everyone to give you a hard time to make you a stronger woman," I said.
"I am a fennec fox; stop acting like I'll be able to be a strong lioness!" Omarun said
She is an apex predator; she needs to be stronger. She is too used to being passive; she forgot how to hunt, and I need to teach her how to hunt again.
"Fight me, Shishiron!" Omarun yelled
"No..." I told her.
"Why not!?" She asked
"I have no reason to fight you; besides, you are weaker than me," I said.
"If you don't fight me, Lamy will leave you for me!" Omarun claimed
"No, I wouldn't..." Lamy-chan said
"Urk, yes, you would!" Omarun said
"Instead of fighting, I will challenge you to a shopping cart race," I said.
Omarun looked around and sighed, knowing that this is her only option, and if she denies it, she'll look like a pathetic coward.
"Fine," she told me as she got inside one of them.
"I'm still too tired to push!" Lamy-chan said
"Don't worry, I won't have you push Lamy-chan," I said softly.
I jumped into the shopping cart and got comfy. Roha and Sudama checked out my form.
"You are really good at this," Roha said.
"This is a really rare shopping cart race style," Sudama said.
I'm shocked they have heard of this racing style; it hasn't been seen in ten thousand years and only the shopping cart pioneers have known it, but I learned it by reading about it. Of course, I didn't perfect it, but I learned it.
"Are you ready?" I asked her
"I guess..." Omarun said.
"Go!" Roha said.
I immediately shot away and looked back. Omarun's jaw fell to the ground as she watched me zoom off.
I ended up getting to the finish line again in ten seconds and glaring at her.
"You didn't race!" I yelled
"How the hell did you move like that?" Omarun asked
"I moved?" I said it with a questioning tone.
"No one pushed you. How did you move?" Omarun yelled
"Oh, that's easy; you see, in this particular shopping cart race style, I used pressure and stuff to move," I told her.
"How does that work?" She questioned
"To be honest, usually the cart just moves; I've never had an instance where the cart didn't just rocket itself forward," I said.
"You aren't human!" Omarun told me
"That would be correct." I am a lioness," I said.
"Don't be a smartass!" Omarun hissed
"Okay, break it up, you two." Lamy-chan sighed
I giggled and then spoke to my beautiful snow elf, "Were you impressed?" I asked
"Of course anything you do is impressive," Lamy-chan said.
"I bet Shishiron can't become a tiger!" Nene said
"Correct," Shishiron said.
"Well, all you'd have to do is give her black stripes, and then she is a white tiger, so I suppose she can become a tiger." Roha said
Omarun was lost in this conversation. People are saying things to her that she doesn't really understand. She doesn't seem to know where she is at the moment due to different things.
"There is no way you just used force to push yourself along!" Omarun said
How else did I get around?" I said.
"Wait, stop! You are going to embarrass me in front of everyone!" Omarun yelled
"Just answer the question," Omarun said.
As soon as she told me the answer, I laughed hysterically.
"A motor," she said.
She thinks such a presrine shopping cart would use a motor, but that isn't the case; there will be no filthy outside sources touching this cart without permission to inspect it either.
"Is the shopping cart even up to code?" Omarun asked
"Yes, I have my shopping cart license," I giggled.
I handed Omarun the card, and she was shocked.
"It's real!" She shouted
"We had to wait three hours in the shopping cart at the DMV, but she got her license," Lamy-chan said.
That sure was an adventure. Having to wait at the DMV, to be honest, made me want to fight some people.
Omarun handed me the license back and had no words to say.
"You should try to go faster," Nenechi said.
"Jusf for you, let's see how many times I can lap Omarun before she moves," I said.
A little time had passed-about two minutes.
"That's about thirty laps," Aloe said.
"I counted twenty," Nenechi stated.
"I only counted fifty," Lamy-chan said.
Fifty was the correct answer. Lamy-chan knows because I've been bothering her with this stuff to make her more resistant to it.
After about another minute, she managed to move about an inch.
She still has a lot to learn.
