Part 1

Hmm~, I just can’t decide. Hey Ten, which earrings do you like more?

(Seriously, why do you still want to buy more when you’ve already got me carrying all your other crap? ……I bet she’d be pissed if I said something like that~.)

The one on the right is eye-catching and looks cute, but doesn’t the left one look like it’d match better with more outfits?

Oh, really? You think so too? That settles it then, I’ll go buy the one on the left!

Yeah, yeah. Make sure you come back before my arms give out~.

(Hah~, this sucks… When will this job ever end?)

…Hm?

Nagipeko, wanna split it with Chii? Chii’s super thrilled you’re carrying everything, but isn’t it tough to handle when it’s all piled up like the Tower of Babel?

It’s okay. I’m used to carrying packages when delivering for FloLaun, plus this is my thanks for letting me tag along on your gyaru shopping trip.

(Wow, that’s rare. Nagi and Chihiro are out shopping. Haha, he’s carrying twice as much as me.)

…O-Oh no, this is bad!!

Hmnya? Something's going on over there—

A flock of ostriches has escaped from the zoo!!

Flap, flap, flap!!!!

A-A stampede of ostriches—!? Nagipeko, dodge them! Don’t get run over—

What’s~~That~~~.

Nagipeko!!

Bro just got blown away!?

(Oh boy. All of the stuff he was holding is falling.)

—Ho.

Ha. And there.

He regained his balance in an instant and caught it all!?

No way! Nagipeko’s sense of balance is out of this world!?

……

Heh, not bad.

(I got run over by a flock of ostriches and a lot of other stuff happened, but I’m totes happy that I got to watch the gyarus go shopping today.)

Oh, Nagi. You went shopping with Chihiro this afternoon, right?

Ten-san.

I saw you catch all of that. You’ve got some quick reflexes. And a good sense of balance.

Ah, um…

(Thanks to my rollercoaster of a daily life, I got praised by Ten-san… I-I’m happy.)

That kind of trouble tends to happen to me a lot. I’ve grown pretty used to dealing with it as it comes. Hehe…

Huh, so it’s a result of your past experiences.

…I kinda wanna see how far you can take it.

! I-I think I can probably carry all of the books on that shelf.

4 with my right hand, 6 with my left. 2 books on my knee—

Wow, look at you. Think we can add this cushion too?

Yeah. If you toss it a little higher I can.

Okayyy. And, there.

……

Woah~. Catching it with your head is pretty impressive.

I’m home.

Wait, Nagi-kun, what’s wrong!? You look like an acrobat!

Pause, time out! Nagi-peko, can I take a video? This is defs gonna go viral!

Haha, looks like you’ve got an audience. Good for you, Nagi.

Gulp.
