Part 1

(Order: Shopping has been fulfilled. Returning to HAMA House for completion.)

(Sudden rainfall. There is nothing I bought which needs to be waterproofed.)

…

Huh? Wha-

H-Hey, wait, hold on!

Detecting Kurama-sama’s biometrics. How may I help you?

Um, no. It’s not “how may I help you.”

You’re about to go home, right? From shopping?

Yes.

So then why are you deliberately trying to get rained on? What if you suddenly short circuit?

There is no need to worry about me short circuiting.

Whatever, hurry up and come under my umbrella.

My body is waterproof so getting wet is not a problem.

Okay, yeah, but if you show up all drenched right after I get home, then people are obviously gonna think I ditched you or something. Like, I’m gonna be the one getting criticized?

All right.

…However, the umbrella is around 25 cm short in diameter for two people to fit beneath it. Kurama-sama’s shoulder will get wet.

I mean, only a little bit. It’s not like I’m gonna be soaked or anything.

Please take care of yourself and do not mind me. The human body’s susceptibility to rainfall is a widely recognized fact.

Susceptibility or whatnot, before that, don’t you know public image is more important? It’s my umbrella after all.

Public image…?

Ahh, whatever, don’t worry about it. Anyways, give me half of your stuff. If you carry it like that it’ll get rained on.

I do not believe there was anything in particular that needed to be waterproofed.

Yeah, but it looks like I’m making you carry everything by yourself and that’s lowkey offensive.

…There, half and half…

(I wonder why he cares so much about an android such as myself?)

Um, if you don’t walk faster you’ll end up getting rained on.

Understood.
