Hi, Akito!

Here to do some shopping?

Oh, no...

My mom asked me to grab a few things on my way home from practice.

Ah, a little errand then.

I bet your mom really appreciates having someone like you helping her out with the housework.

I didn't have a choice. She said, “If you don't go, then we're going to have one less side dish for dinner.”

Hehe. I see.

(She's also Ena's mom, so I guess she knows what buttons to press to get her son to act.)

(Still, it's really nice of Akito to actually go out and get what she needs like this.)
