Charles shrugged. "Alright, man. If you really wanna pick up my stuff, then." He continued to follow Naoya, keeping his stride in line with the other boy's, as he picked up some crab. They then glided over to the tofu section, giving Charles a chance to pick up some silken tofu for tonight's dinner. He froze, as Naoya picked up a bit of natto.

"I've heard horror stories, man. What does that taste like, even?" said Charles, staring at the styrofoam container.

"Kinda both earthy and acidic," Naoya said, "more on th', uh, th' earthy end than on th' acidic. Healthy, too."

As he spoke, he walked, going down an aisle and grabbing a large bag of rice and picking up several boxes of dried instant food, as per Shin's request.

"Now, I wonder just wh...where in th' hell's th' mirin at?" he asked, looking around.

"Ah. I see. Sounds like an interesting food." he said, taking a container for himself. As they walked down the dry food section, Charles grabbed a few packs of udon noodles, instant ramen, and a sack of rice, placing all of it into the cart.

"Mirin? Ain't that usually by the vinegars?" said Charles, scratching his chin.

Naoya shook his head to clear it.

"Oh, yeah. Man. I was lookin' over here by th' salad dressin's. Y'know how sometimes you're just...y'know, thinkin' about something?...then you just forget the proper way t' do things and end up going about it all ass-backwards?"

He then proceeded to moonwalk over toward the part of the store where vinegar was on display, picking up a large bottle of mirin and a smaller one of rice vinegar.

"Anyways, are you near the end of the list? I wanna mess around with the store a bit after." said Charles, still sliding around with Naoya. "After we pay, anyways."

"Man, even if I get kicked out, I bet it'll still be worth it."

"Y...uh...yeah. This's it, right, um, right here. Hold on. 'Wanna try something."

He grabbed the mirin, and the two of them headed for the cash register. The cashier watched the two of them, remembering the last time Charles had appeared in the store and not understanding why the two of them were moonwalking.

"That'll be 3,500 yen," he said, after scanning the various goods.

Naoya locked eyes with him for a long, long moment, not blinking. Ever so slowly, he reached into his jacket, and pulled out a roll of bills. He didn't look down as he licked his thumb and proceeded to count out four dog-eared thousand yen bills, holding them out to the cashier.

The boy reached for it, looked up at Naoya, who hadn't moved his eyes a bit, aside from beginning to squint. The cashier's hand stopped, trembling for a second, then took the money.

"Ha...have a good day," the cashier said, handing back five hundred yen.

"You, too," he said, suddenly amicable, and picked up the three large plastic bags, two containing his groceries, one with Charlie's.

As Naoya rang up everything, Charles couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the stare the other boy was giving the cashier. "You practicing your flirting stare to see if it intimidates men, or something?" asked Charles, whispering into Naoya's ear, as he took his bag.

"Flirtin' stare?" he asked, furrowing his brow, then looked over at the cashier, "Nah. Never...hrm...haven't you never seen Yojimbo? Or Th' Good, th' Bad 'n th' Ugly? The leads there...Eastwood 'n Mifune an' the like, they could make a guy flinch by lookin' at him right. Squintin' with purpose and something that looks like a desire to perpetrate bodily harm. I was just curious as t' what that felt like...now I just kinda feel like a jackass, though. Good t' know I got it in me, I guess. Won't be pullin' that out on part time employees of anything, though."

Naoya handed Charlie the bag containing his groceries.

"'Sides, what the hell's a flirtin' stare even look like? Not sure I've, uh, ever actually seen one of those, y'know."

"I'm just messing with you, Naoya. I know the difference between a Japanese flirting stare and a Japanese intimidation stare. I've seen all the old chanbara shit, don't worry." said Charles, handing back the bag he took, and taking the one Naoya was holding out. "And don't worry about a flirting stare, man. When you see one, you'll know."

As they were about to walk out, the janitor stopped them.

"Wait a minute. I remember you, kid. You were moonwalking around here before, weren't you?" he said, pointing a broom at Charles menacingly.

"What, nooooo. Not at all." Charles said, lying through his teeth. "I think that guuy over there was, though."

He pointed at an obese man, who was looking through banana chips and potato chips, comparing them side by side.

"Seriously, it was him." said Charles, bluntly casting Balzac on the janitor.

The janitor swelled with rage, pushing his mop cart towards the man, splashing water about recklessly.

"HEY YOU! PUT THE CHIPS DOWN, AND COME WITH ME!" yelled the janitor, charging at the man with his broom.

"Oh come on. I'm even getting banana chips this time! Leave me aloooonne!" said the man pleadingly.

"Man, what, uh, what was that guy's problem?" Naoya asked, looking over at Charlie, "Y'd think'n employee at a supermarket wouldn't just go flyin' off th' handle like that an' chase a guy through the store like that. Gotta be bad f'r business, when you look at it and analyze what all's goin' on. It's kind of not th' sort of thing that should be done, y'know?"

The overweight man was clumsily weaving through the crowd, trying to escape the maddened janitor attempting to perform a spirited impression of Captain Ahab using his mop as a harpoon and cart as boat.

"So what's th' plan, then?" he asked.
