Chapter 414 This is not something you can touch yet
"Taiga, have you chosen a swimsuit?"
Eriri's voice suddenly came from behind, startling the already somewhat dazed Aisaka Taiga.
"Waaah!!!"
Eriri was also startled by Aisaka Taiga's reaction and said with a wry smile, "Don't suddenly shout!"
"Ugh... Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Shrinking her neck, Aisaka Taiga said, "I didn't hear you coming just now."
After glancing at Aisaka Taiga and then at the children's swimsuits, Eriri nodded knowingly, "Hmm, I can understand. But Taiga, you don't really like this type of swimsuit, do you?"
"..."
Alright, it seems she really likes them.
Having spent a long time with Kaede, Eriri also picked up a bit of Kaede's habit. She smiled and patted Aisaka Taiga's head, saying, "If you like it, buy it. I think you'd look quite cute wearing it, Taiga."
"No, let's not."
With a bitter expression, Aisaka Taiga shook her head, "I'm already 17, I don't want to be treated like a child anymore! Eriri, please help me pick another type of swimsuit!"
If it were anyone else, Eriri might have readily agreed, but Aisaka Taiga... frankly, other swimsuits really don't suit her figure. Even Eriri herself could wear those bikinis, but Aisaka Taiga... to put it bluntly, she's really flat-chested, with a landing strip, and bikinis truly wouldn't fit her.
But Eriri really couldn't resist Aisaka Taiga's eager eyes, so in the end, she could only help her choose a two-piece bandeau swimsuit with some lace trim. Compared to the regular kind, it looked cuter and was quite suitable for Aisaka Taiga.
Watching Aisaka Taiga happily run to the fitting room with the clothes, Eriri exhaled and called over the sales assistant who had been observing from nearby. She said to her, "When my friend comes out later, please help her choose a suitable swimsuit, but try not to pick anything that clearly looks like it's for children."
The sales assistant naturally understood what Eriri meant and nodded with a smile.
Although Eriri and her friends looked young, the sales assistant had worked in this large mall's swimsuit store for over a year. She immediately noticed that the clothes Aisaka Taiga and Eriri were wearing when they arrived were not cheap. These were important customers, and she couldn't let them go easily, so naturally, she had to provide excellent service.
After settling Aisaka Taiga, Eriri began choosing her second swimsuit.
She had barely looked at a few clothes when Colette, who had disappeared as soon as she entered the store, suddenly popped up, holding a swimsuit and saying, "Eriri-neechan, look how amazing this swimsuit is!"
"Huh?"
Turning her head, Eriri's eyes almost popped out.
"Colette, why are you holding this kind of swimsuit? Put it back quickly!"
On the hanger in Colette's hand, there were only a few black strips of fabric, looking like a V-shape.
Eriri never expected this swimsuit store to sell such swimsuits; they were too revealing, weren't they?
"Where did you find it?"
"There."
Following Colette's pointing direction, Eriri saw a corner of the store displaying similar swimsuits, all characterized by minimal fabric and high prices.
Then she heard Colette say, "Eriri-neechan, how exactly does one wear this kind of clothing? It doesn't stay on at all!"
Heh heh, Eriri wasn't sure how to wear it, but it definitely required something else to stick it on, otherwise, it couldn't be worn out at all.
With a slight blush, Eriri took the swimsuit from Colette's hand and said, "This swimsuit isn't something you can wear yet. Go pick out a normal one."
"Then, Eriri-neechan, have you worn one? You seem to know a lot about it."
"Of course not!"
After poking Colette's forehead and telling her not to run around, Eriri went to put the swimsuit back. Then, she took Colette and began picking out a swimsuit for her.
Colette's figure was similar to Aisaka Taiga's, so Eriri also picked cute styles for her, not even considering bikinis.
After wandering around the store for over an hour, everyone had chosen their favorite swimsuits. Eriri, Utaha, and Kawashima Ami each picked two sets, while the others only chose one.
Of course, Eriri didn't forget to pick out a pair of beach shorts for Kaede as well.
After buying swimsuits, there was still plenty of time today, so they naturally couldn't go back immediately. The girls continued to shop in the mall.
It wasn't until 3:30 PM that Eriri finally returned home.
Opening the apartment door and stepping inside, Eriri saw Kaede holding the Cat, sitting on the sofa, yawning and watching TV.
"Kaede-kun, I'm home!"
Kaede turned his head and looked at the smiling Eriri, saying, "Welcome home. Did you have fun today?"
"Yes, I did! Everyone went shopping together today, it was very lively!"
After changing into her slippers, Eriri took out one of the shopping bags she was carrying, waved it in front of Kaede, and said, "Kaede-kun, these are the beach shorts I picked for you!"
Kaede took them out and looked at them, relieved to find that Eriri hadn't picked overly flashy colors for him.
As for beach shorts, a simple style was fine; he had told Eriri that before.
Although he had thought Eriri might pick a more extravagant style for him, Kaede had mentally prepared himself today. But now, it seemed the outcome was quite good.
After putting away his beach shorts, planning to wash them in the evening, Kaede looked at the other two shopping bags, which were clearly from the same store as his: "Eriri, what styles did you pick? Let me see?"
"No!"
Eriri unhesitatingly hugged the shopping bag containing her swimsuit and said, "Kaede-kun, you can't see them until we go to the beach. Leave the washing of these clothes to me tonight, and you're not allowed to peek on the balcony, understand?"
"Uh... Is that really necessary?"
"Hmm?"
Glowered at by Eriri, Kaede could only agree with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, I won't look, okay? It's just a swimsuit, Eriri, what part of you haven't I seen? Is it really necessary to be so secretive?"
"Anyway, no means no."
Shaking her twin tails, Eriri picked up a few shopping bags and walked towards the bedroom.
"Kaede-kun~~ Please make dinner tonight, I want winter melon and pork rib soup!"
"So many demands."
After jokingly complaining, Kaede turned off the TV and got up to walk towards the kitchen refrigerator.
The pork ribs were still in the refrigerator; he had to take them out to thaw first.
