Who's Your Ideal Guy?

Walking Around Town (2)

"What did your mom asked you to buy?"

The two girls were walking along the road. They've already arrived at the town. It was like the usual town with market and people selling everywhere.

However, for Raints town, it's more quiet and calm. Raints is a new build town that are still upgrading. So everything was still in process.

Along the road, they passed a few stalls. They're selling fruits, vegetables and many more. On the other side, there were three restaurants. The only restaurants they have in Raints town.

Still, only a few went there to have a relaxing time. Raints population doesn't even reach a thousand.

Many decided to work together rather than to build a new business. Besides, they're one village, a team. Isn't that the more reason to work together?

"Oh, lil Shina!" A voice from one of the stall called.

"Eh, Aunt Yum! How are you doing?" Shina greeted.

"The usual Shina! How about you? Haven't seen you for quite awhile!"

"Yeah, I've been busy with school work, aunty,"

"I see, now do you have anything you want to buy here?" The lady called Aunt Yum, showed her selling.

"Uh, well, how about this bean sprouts?"

"Alright!"

"Hey, Shina. That's not what your mom asked, is it?"

"No, actually,"

"Then, why did you buy?"

"Geez, Nora! This is one of the life lessons! Something you wouldn't learn at school but you should know,"

"When they asked to buy something we couldn't just say no, as not to hurt the other feelings. So we buy their sellings, even just a bit. Like I did. There's no hurt to it, you know. Besides, my family eats bean sprouts," the wiser one explained lengthily.*

"Ooo.." the twin ponytailed nodded in understanding. "I always learn something new with you, Shina. Thanks!" She gave a wide smile.

"Welcome!" Shina responded with a smile of her own.

"Now, let's go in," She gestured to the market. The market is the biggest building in the town. It was also the first shopping center ever built there. So most of the villagers buy their needs at this market.

The market consists of lots of groceries, fruits, vegetables and other small ingredients. Most ingredients are natural. There are also some meats and fishes but the villagers rather eat it often.

"Done!" Shina exclaimed as she paid the item she bought.

"Okay, I'm starving now!" Nora complained.

"Alright, alright. So now where are we gonna eat?" Shina asked.

Just before her friend could reply, another voice came from behind them.

"Eh? Shina?"

The said name tilted her head to the voice, "Huh? Tanah!"

"Ah, didn't expect seeing you here,"

"Yeah, me too. We never had chance to see each other outside of school," The earth elemental stated.

"Ah yeah," somehow the words sound a bit weird coming from him, but the girl just agreed. Not realizing her face feels a little warm.

"So, who's this?"
