“I'm going too, so wait for me!”

If I’m going to work, I absolutely need something sweet... Just as I was thinking that and about to quickly head out to the convenience store.

“You’re going shopping? ... I’m going too, so wait for me—”

Hearing that, I turned around and saw Mika-kun, who had finished helping his parents, calling out to me.

Maybe because I hadn’t seen him in a while, I still couldn’t get used to how much he had grown compared to when he was a child.

Did he always have that much muscle...? Thinking that, I found myself staring blankly at the arm he’d rolled up.
