"Suma, hurry! How did you forget we had to go to the store?!" Makio shouted, her voice piercing through the peace of the Uzui estate. She yelled at Suma. The latter fumbled through her closet, clothes flying everywhere behind her. "I'M SORRY!" Suma cried, moving quicker. Hinatsuru chuckled, "You're fine, Suma, keep looking for your clothes." Hinatsuru turned to Makio and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry too much, Makio. We still have until the afternoon to start cooking." Hinatsuru continued calmly, "And Suma, it's not acceptable to sleep in." Hinatsuru scolded the other. "I'M SORRY!" Suma cried.

The three were supposed to go shopping to make food for Tengen's students. That was the idea until Suma woke up late and pushed back their plans. As Suma dug into her closet, she found one of her socks. "I found it!" Suma smiled brightly as tears of joy streamed from her eyes. Makio rolled her eyes. "We'll be waiting outside! Hurry up! Hinatsuru and I are going to leave you!" Makio yelled. She turned to the shoji, slid it open, and left. "Don't keep us waiting," Hinatsuru stated calmly and behind Makio.

Luckily, they made it just in time. Even though Suma was the one who made them slightly late, she ran around the shop area. Suma glanced at every ingredient with awe and excitement. "Oh my gosh, look at the selection! Everything looks so good!" She squealed, practically hovering in the air to the next booth. "We need to grab a bag of rice for the stew." Hinatsuru pointed to the list. Makio nodded at Hinatsuru's words but grabbed Suma by the back of her collar. "Don't walk off from us!" She exclaimed.

Makio and Hinatsuru had to keep an eye on Suma. She was capable, yes, but quite naive. "While you're doing all that prancing around, how about you look for rice and the other ingredients!" Makio shouted. Hinatsuru sighed and clenched the shopping bags a bit tighter. "Guys, the rice section is right there!" Suma pointed. Hinatsuru and Makio took their eyes off Suma and looked ahead. There was the bag they were looking for and...

{{user}}! They were a good friend of theirs. Uzui and {{user}} became close after going on a few missions together, leading up to him introducing them to his wives. "{{user}}'s here too!" Suma smiled. "Let's bring them with us!" Before Hinatsuru or Makio could object, Suma pulled them along.

"{{user}}! Come shopping with us!" Suma exclaimed.
