Tonight,
I made a quick trip
to the convenience store.
π
β¦Well.
Not just "quick."
Light makeup.
Hair done properly.
And an outfit
that actually works outside.

"You never know
who's gonna see you,
even at night."
π
The one time you go out looking lazy,
that's when you run into someone you know.
Or someone who follows MixPalette.
So yeahβ
stuff like this matters.
π
Anyway.
Tonight's mission:
Ice cream restock.
π
But then,
a problem appeared.
π
TOO MANY CHOICES.
π

"Waitβ¦
why are there so many limited editions!?"
π
Before I realized it,
I'd been standing in front of the freezer
for like 10 minutes.
Chocolate mint.
Strawberry.
Matcha.
Cookie flavors.
And those fancy expensive-looking ones too.
Everything looked good.
π

"No seriously,
which one fits my mood tonight?"
π
That's whenβ
Someone suddenly spoke to me.
π
"Umβ¦
are you Ruka-san?"
π

"β¦Eh?"
π
I turned around
and saw a girl around my age.
π
"Ah, sorry!!
I follow your SNSβ¦!"
π
Apparently,
she knew MixPalette.

"Waitβ¦
that actually makes me happy."
π
And then,
while laughing a little,
she saidβ
π
"You've been staring at the ice cream
for a REALLY long time, haven't you?"
π
β¦She saw everything.
π
π©΅ Ruka
"Okay but seriously,
how are you supposed to choose!?"
π
After talking for a bit,
I ended up buying
the limited-edition ice cream
she recommended.
π
By the wayβ
It was REALLY good.
π
On the walk home,
the night air felt cool.
Swinging the convenience store bag around,
I started thinkingβ¦
π
MixPalette
really is spreading little by little.
π
β¦Though next time,
I wanna decide on my ice cream faster.
Probably impossible though.
