"Where's the peanut butter?" The question warranted a point of a finger from the store clerk.
Unkempt brown hair shook with an annoyed fury in response. The messy kimono wearing girl pointed to the empty bottom shelf.
"Peanut butter."
Pause.
"The big jar."
Another pause. "I need the big jar."
Between each pause had been a jab of her finger in the direction of the empty shelf.
The poor store worker looked more and more tired as seconds passed. The truly terrible side of working in retail. The customers.
"We're out...But, you could buy two of the normal jars for the same amount. There's only a small difference the money you save." He tried to say in a calm, polite voice.
All he'd be given in return is a deadpanned look from the girl.
"There isn't enough peanut butter on the shelf...Go check in back."
He started "Miss, I don'-", only to be quieted by the girls quick words.
"Go - Check - In - Back." A larger pause taking place than the one she held between each of those words.
"Please." Came after. Manners.
The scene changed. Indeed there were more peanut butter in the back. The girl stood in front of the check out line. She looked left, right, up, and down. Nostrils flaring here and there as she took in the scents from all around her.
She leaned in close to the woman standing beside her. An older woman who looked to be in her mid-forties and well dressed. A long whiff taken, followed with a cough. The wild girl stepped back and pinched at her nose. The perfume the older woman wore was terrible. Strong and terrible.
She waved a hand in front of herself while the disgruntled woman let out a not so happy grunt, along with a few choice words to show her distaste. Not that the peanut butter buying girl cared, she was far too busy watching the lights of the cash register flash with each pass of the peanut butter jars.
"You must...really like peanut butter." The cashier tried to make small talk.
"Yup.", is all she'd get in return. The young woman bounced a little some, as if antsy for the transaction to be complete. Once the final peanut butter jar had been placed inside the bag and the total was flashed, she'd be gone. All that was left behind would be a few bills.
She could already hear the cashier call out, "What about your change"!" but she hardly cared. It wasn't her money! Yurei-Hime might chastise her later for not collecting it, but the mission is all she cared about right now.
Bike basket loaded up with bags upon bags of peanut butter. She'd make sure to strap them down just in case before putting feed to peddles and speeding down the street.
