Jiang Che is a time traveler. Not long after he traveled through time and became a baby, he was adopted by the Kasugano family and named Kasugano Tetsu.

Jiang Che, no, he should be called Kasugano Tetsu now. He has been in this world for 16 years.

Although the parents who adopted Kasugano Tetsu have passed away and their lives are now quite tight and poor, Kasugano Tetsu is not alone, because he has a two-year-old sister named Kasugano Sora.

Speaking of the devil, the devil appears. As soon as Kasugano Tetsu thought of his sister, he heard a”ding” sound.

This is not the notification sound of the plug-in being received, but a text message sent by his sister.

Kasugano Tetsu took out his worn-out mobile phone, blocked the light of the midday sun in Tokyo on the weekend with his hand, squinted his eyes and got close to the screen.

This is a mobile phone that his sister discarded two years ago. Because it is too old, there are some problems with the screen.

In an overly bright environment, it is difficult to see the content on the screen clearly.

But he didn’t care. After all, he spent his daily life drawing besides classes, and used his drawing skills to earn some living expenses for himself and his sister. It didn’t matter what the phone was. It didn’t matter at ordinary times, but it was quite inconvenient when he needed it.

For example, now

“Brother, please don’t hang around outside. Don’t forget that you have a lovely sister at home. Don’t talk to strange girls. They will eat you up.”

“If you dare to tease your brother again, be careful that I will spank you when you get home! I’m on my way to the supermarket and will go home after buying groceries. There is a cake I just made in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, you can eat some first.”

Knowing that his sister has low blood pressure, how could Kasugano Toru be unprepared?

The cake with the aroma of milk is meant to deal with times like this.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from his sister, Kasugano Toru shook his head helplessly and put away his phone.

This is really forgetting about his brother when he has dessert.

After arriving at the supermarket, Kasugano Toru went straight to the special offer area.

This supermarket is a place he often visits. There are special offers every Wednesday and Saturday. Not very fresh meat and vegetables, snacks that are about to expire, and unsaleable milk drinks are all things he often eats.

But he doesn’t come only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, because he has a younger sister at home. As long as there are no fresh vegetables and meat at home, he will come to the supermarket to buy them.

Qiong has been malnourished since childhood, and as a brother, he can be said to have exhausted his heart to supplement his sister’s nutrition. Although she has not been completely cured, under his careful care, Qiong is at least not as weak as she was when she was a child.

But although she is said to come often, it is actually only during the winter and summer vacations. Because the private Otome Saki Girls’ Academy where Qiong studies has dormitories, she always lives in the school dormitory on school days.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the brother and sister will cherish the days when they can meet each other even more, and Kasugano Toru also pampers his sister more than ordinary brothers.

“”Kasugano-san, good afternoon.” Just as Kasugano Toru was concentrating on selecting discounted items, a plain female voice sounded in his ears.

The boy raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. After a brief moment of daze, he finally found the source of the voice.

“”Good afternoon, Kato-san.”

The girl who spoke was Kasugano Toru’s classmate and deskmate. It was not quite appropriate to call her deskmate, because Toyonosaki’s seats were all independent, but Kato Megumi’s seat was on his right, so to some extent, it was not a problem to call her deskmate.

And Kasugano Toru actually liked interacting with this girl.

“”It’s been a long time since we last met. Haven’t we seen each other since the spring break?” Kato Megumi calmly flipped through the vegetables on the shelf, as if she was hesitating about which one to buy.

This is exactly why Kasugano Toru likes to chat with this girl.

Although Kato Megumi’s family is not very prominent, they are at least working class. Even if they are not rich, they have not fallen to the point where their children need to eat discounted and unfresh vegetables.

The reason why the girl made the choice was nothing more than wanting to take care of Kasugano Toru’s possibly excessive self-esteem.

After all, boys of this age care most about face.

But it is obvious that Kato Megumi is overthinking.

According to Kasugano Toru’s idea, every meal is earned by his own ability, which is not shameful.

Not to mention that he has made his sister grow up healthily through his own efforts. He is already better than most of his peers, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

“Yes, everyone is busy.”Kasugano Toru laughed and took a bunch of vegetables from the shelf.

Japan is an island country, a tiny country that has to support more than 100 million people, so there are very few places to grow crops and vegetables. Many crops are imported, so the price is very expensive.

Fruits are more expensive than vegetables. He was short of money and could only pick a few apples. Then he picked up a bunch of blackened bananas from the discount shelf and threw them into his shopping cart.

“Didn’t Kasugano-san go out to play during the spring break?” Seeing that Kasugano Toru had finished selecting, Kato Megumi also put the vegetables in her hand back on the shelf.

She hadn’t planned to buy these things in the first place.

“No, I have to paint, take care of my sister, and worry about the living expenses for the next semester. Life is so helpless.” The 16-year-old boy sighed in a way that was totally inconsistent with his age. This made Kato Megumi cover her mouth and giggle.

Although she laughed, the girl still admired the boy in front of her.

After all, if it was her, she might have been crushed by the burden of life a long time ago, right?

After selecting the ingredients for the next few days, Kasugano Toru checked out and left the supermarket.

When he thought that he would not have to come to this sad place for the next three days, Kasugano Toru felt better.

How can you not be sad if you always spend money?

“Goodbye, Kato-san. After purchasing the ingredients he needed, Kasugano Toru said goodbye to Kato Megumi. His little sister at home was eagerly waiting for him to return.

“Goodbye, Kasugano-san.” Kato Megumi was very polite, and her soft voice made people feel like a spring breeze. She wanted to continue chatting with this classmate, but seeing that Kasugano Toru looked hurried, she didn’t force it.
