The total was ¥8 200, it was slightly more than she had thought but still well within her budget. She was reaching for her money when she heard Kyle speak up. 

Kyle: "I hope you're not seriously thinking you're paying this all by yourself... I agreed to help you carry the food if you cooked it, but I think we can both pay for the food since we're both eating it, right?"

Kaori almost instinctively slapped his hand down with the strength you would expect from an articulate hand without even losing her smile. "Don't be silly Senpai, I'm happy to pay for it." She pulled a ¥10 000 bill from her purse and handed it to the cashier who immediately rang it up and handed her the change of ¥1 800. The cashier bagged them up and Kaori hung each of them on Kyle's arm and briskly led him out of the store. She was quite happy with their little outing so far, she had even saved a bit of money on the Tofu thanks to Kyle. Before she got too far she turned to Kyle and said: "Senpai, is there anything you want to do in town or should we head back to Yamaku?"
