"Hmph~ It really was right to split up. I didn't expect the nearest pharmacy to be so far away..."
On the other side, in front of the pharmacy one kilometer away from the market, Miyazawa Yu panted heavily and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Two minutes, easy peasy. Let me see, the sleeping pills are at..."
Pacing between the shelves, the teenager who had never experienced insomnia at all did not know that sleeping pills could not be placed in plain sight.
Upholding the principle that bad deeds must never be too ostentatious, his first instinct was to search for them himself without asking the salesperson.
"Hoo... he ran so fast. A pharmacy?"
Looking at the sign in front of her, Hamaoka Azusa, who almost lost track of him, patted her large, wicked chest and gasped for breath with difficulty.
At this moment, she had a new understanding of her boyfriend's physical strength. What was going on with this monster-like physical fitness? Did he have a small electric motor installed on him?
If he can run this well, hurry up and participate in the sports meet, you bastard! Is it fun to tire out your girlfriend here!
"Let me see... what trick are you trying to pull!"
After finally catching her breath, Hamaoka Azusa bought a hat and sunglasses from a nearby street vendor, and then crept into the store.
Without much effort, she quickly found Miyazawa Yu, who was frowning and searching incessantly near the shelves.
Completely unaware that he was being followed, the latter was dizzy and disoriented by the various medicine bottles, unable to find the sleeping pills he wanted.
"Um, miss?"
"Yes! Is there anything I can help you with?"
Having no other choice, five minutes later, after searching the entire pharmacy and not finding his target, Miyazawa Yu could only stand in front of the counter lady.
"It's just... where are your sleeping pills?"
"Sleeping pills?"
Sleeping pills?
Hiding behind a shelf, Hamaoka Azusa secretly observed through the gaps between the medicine bottles.
Hearing that Yu wanted to buy sleeping pills, her first thought was that she might have been a bit excessive, forcing the poor child to rely on sleeping pills to sleep.
But on second thought, if it were an honest person like Tokita, it might indeed be the case.
But Yu... to be honest, the possibility of him adding something to her drink is much greater than him taking them himself!
Even if she didn't have to worry about weird things being done to her, he actually calculated this far to prevent her night raid?
Yu, you guy...
Wicked thoughts instantly formed in her mind, and Hamaoka Azusa's gaze at Yu's back suddenly became playful.
It is absolutely impossible not to cling to Nanaka, the kind she can't quit for life!
But after having played the "husband's eyes crime" before, she was now a little curious about what a sleeping husband felt like!
"Um, may I ask what you need, customer? Insomnia? Or is the environment too noisy? Do you have a prescription?"
On the other side, the front desk lady stared at the somewhat handsome, innocent-looking teenager in front of her, her expression becoming very cautious.
You should know that sleeping pills are prescription drugs, the kind that absolutely cannot be dispensed casually!
And if the person buying the medicine is a bad person, sleeping pills could even become a tool for committing crimes!
So, especially with guys like this who are a little handsome and look very likely to deceive girls, they must be extra careful!
"Emmm... can't I buy them without a prescription?"
"That's not exactly true, but the quantity will be strictly limited, and if it's insomnia, it's best to seek medical attention promptly and try not to rely on medication for relief!"
"I see~"
Miyazawa Yu didn't express any dissatisfaction with the front desk lady's caution. He fully understood the needs of her job.
And this was also protecting public safety, there was nothing to criticize, but sleeping pills were related to his sleep safety, so he absolutely couldn't give up!
"Then please give me the minimum amount, just enough for one night is fine!"
Normally, if it were a bad person, they would have fled dejectedly due to a guilty conscience after being righteously warned.
Seeing that Miyazawa Yu still insisted, and his expression and tone were very sincere.
The front desk lady's attitude softened slightly, and at the same time, she noticed the faint dark circles under his eyes.
In summary, this might really be a poor person suffering from insomnia for some reason.
"...Write your name, ID number, contact information, and reason for purchase here. You can only get three pills, understand?"
After hesitating for a moment, she finally chose to take out the record book for him to register.
"Thank you! You are truly a good person, miss!"
"Actually, not really..."
Thinking he would return empty-handed, Miyazawa Yu's eyes instantly sparkled with hope when he saw the record book placed in front of him, making the front desk lady instinctively feel shy.
Without any hesitation, he quickly wrote down his name and identity information.
However, when the pen stroke passed the 'reason for purchase,' the ink trail was interrupted for a few long seconds before continuing smoothly.
Fortunately, this slight abnormality was not noticed. The front desk lady checked Miyazawa Yu's identification, and after confirming that the basic information was correct, she turned around to get the medicine and handed it to him.
"One pill a day is the limit for an adult. If it doesn't work, go see a doctor, okay?"
"I know, and it's just one night of suffering. I will surely live on strongly!"
"Eh?"
Looking at the figure rushing out of the store in a hurry, the front desk lady felt that the wavelengths of young people these days were truly difficult to match.
What one night of suffering? Is it a new gaming term?
However, judging by the meaning of the latter half of his sentence, it didn't seem like he was planning anything bad, so she should be able to rest assured...
Just as she was thinking this, she put away the registration form and inadvertently glanced at the 'reason' section she hadn't paid attention to before.
In the large blank area, there was only one line of text—[I don't want to cosplay the sleeping husband!!!]
"...No, you come back here! What kind of crazy reason is this!!!"
She forcefully attempted to flip the table to express her anger, but unfortunately, the pharmacy's glass counter was integrated, and she couldn't move it with her strength alone.
Damn it! She truly misjudged him. She was only thinking about whether he was a bad person, but she didn't expect him to be a lunatic.
Speaking of which, how did this kind of guy escape from the hospital? What is the Japanese medical system even doing!
Clutching her head in annoyance, the front desk lady's pupils dilated in shock, and she deeply doubted her career.
"...Yu is truly sinful~"
Quietly moving in front of the front desk lady, Hamaoka Azusa looked at her dull eyes and touched the back of her head with a slight embarrassment.
As a senior in the Pab club, she was truly sorry for raising her junior to be so perverse.
"Um, are you okay?"
"Hmm? Hello, customer, I'm fine. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The voice in her ear barely pulled her soul back to her body. Looking at the purple-haired girl in front of her who was full of guilt, the front desk lady managed a smile and gently shook her head.
Even after a setback, one must smile and face the world—that is the quality a service worker should have!
"I wouldn't say I need anything..."
Giving a thumbs-up to the unfamiliar woman, Hamaoka Azusa smiled gently and offered comfort: "Don't be discouraged, I will definitely make Yu become the sleeping husband, I promise!"
"Eh?"
The professional smile froze on her face. The front desk lady's eyes twitched brokenly, and then she pointed a finger outside the door in disbelief.
"Mhm! I will definitely NTR Yu for you as an explanation!"
"Ah... good luck to you?"
"I will!"
Stepping out of the store, Hamaoka Azusa wore a wicked smile of absolute confidence and embarked on a new journey of cuddling with Nanaka, accompanied by the welcome sound of the automatic door.
She left behind the completely grayed-out front desk lady, her shattered worldview and philosophy of life scattered everywhere by the wind, impossible to stick back together.
