After breakfast, they started their journey to the ski resort. Cacha did not talk as much as before, She was under impression he did not like her. Keinichi did not speak either, he just turned the music on, While the girl naxt to him just enjoyed the scenery along the road. after 20 minutes drive, she suddenly worried whether or not her money was enought. She calculated money in her wallet "I have ¥ 20,000. Elder sister gave me ¥10,000. last night big sister gave me ¥25,000, dad added ¥30,000".
She frowned and gazed at Keinichi, she wanted to ask him but she was afraid that he would not be happy to get distract when driving.
"Why are you staring at me like that ?" He turned the music volume down.
"Oh, I just wonder how much it cost to hire equipment and tickets to the resort. is ¥50,000 enough ?"
"You have ¥85,000" He said.
"I can not spend all here. I need to keep some because I extend my days here. I don't want to ask money from my brothers anymore"
"It's more than enough. I take you to new place. it cost less than normal".
"Thank you. I should buy Japanese Yen more back home, I saw the exchange rate here is not good. it's 5 yen different" She signed
He was stunned. he did not expect this young lady knew about currency exchange "It's ok. 5 yen is not much"
She twitched "not much, come on Oniichan, 5 yen for every dollar, with $1000 It is enough to eat 5 times. Earning money is not easy".
Keinichi was amazed by what she said "really ?".
"yes, It is my one and half week part time salary, it is because my eldest sister give me a generous one. If I was still in that supermarket, it would me my two weeks salary without spending. I have decided that start from next month, I won't take any poket money from my parents and my eldest sister any more. After I pass my probation periode, I'll ask my brothers to stop transfering my pocket money".
"Double deeping" he laughed.
"Not double. I receive pocket money from 6 peoples. 3 of my brothers, My mum, My eldest sister which is my eldest sister in law and my big sister" She laughed.
Keinichi was shock "you have four siblings ?"
Cacha nodded "5 of us, my parents have god son and god daughter. Oh, I forgot you haven't seen them. They came yesterday and they still slept this morning when you came. I have little nephew, My third brother has a 5 months baby. He is so cute, his name is Hugh Feng".
For the first time, he did not dislike a blabbermouth girl. she was different, she was not talking about other people but about her self. She made him knew her more and more.
"Oniichan. do you want some snack ?"
"No thanks. I am driving"
"Oh sorry. It is frosty out there. My brothes don't want to be distract when they are driving in bad weather either and me too"
He nodded. He was a little bit thirsty so he tried to reach a bottle water while driving.
"What are you doing ?" she asked.
"thirsty"
"Let me take it. My brothers always ask for help when they wanted something while driving. My dad is also the same. When you are driving and someone next to you, you are better to ask for help" she took it but it was empty "It's empty"
His eyebrows twitched. He did not like to be lectured, but the way she did was cute "There are some at the back".
She turned around, after put more effort, she managed to get one. She opened the lid for him and handed to him "Thank you"
"My service, sir"
In one gulp, half botle was gone. She took the bottle from him and tightened the lid and put it on the cup holder near him. He saw her action was just natural for her. He asked him self "does she often do this for her brothers ? does she treat other man like this ?
"What ?" She blinked. Hr noticed he stared at her.
"We are going to hire the ski equipment on the shop here" he turned right and soon after there were shops on the side of the road.
He stopped and parked the car in a public car park. They got off from the car and entered a small shop.
The shop keeper greeted them politely.
"She is a friend, a foreigner. give me her size, she needs a new full set of ski equipment and clothes" Keinichi spoke in Japanese.
"Yes boss. what colour ?
Keinichi asked Cacha "What colour do you like ?"
"Pink or something with pink" she answered without thinking.
Keinichi then told the shop keeper the colour then he asked Cacha to try.
"Is every think under control here ?" He asked.
"Yes. the goods have been sent yesterday"
"Good, Does first in command come here ?"
"Not yet"
"I need my skii things. Put them in my car"
He saw cacha came back "Is all good ?"
"Yes".
"ok lets go"
"Wait. I need to pay first. Also How about yours ?"
He rolled his eyes, he forgot she did not know that the shop was belong to him "That's mine" he pointed at a black pile of clothes.
Cacha was a smart girl, eventhough she could not speak or read Japanese, more or less she could guessed from the sign.
She took 2 papernotes of ¥10,000 and gave it to the shop keeper. "For me and him" while pointed at her and him.
The shop keeper did not take the money, he stared at keinichi "Boss, what should I do ?"
"Charge her half price"
The shop keeper took one note and gave her back two note of ¥1000 then he stared at his boss to se if he was ok with it.
"I paid mine already. Lets go" Keinichi explained.
The other shop keeper shook his head "Why did he taker her money ?".
"He is testing her. She will pass with perfect score"
