Furthermore, they both have—unconsciously using the other's situation as a basis for adaptation—their communication shows competence.

Translation: Moreover, they both have—an unconscious tendency to use the other's situation as a baseline for adapting, which shows their communicative competence.

Having this competence on just one side is enough to greatly boost communication efficiency, but if both sides do it… although it won't lead to blatant misunderstanding, it's easy to make slight errors in judgment—hence the odd scene we see now between the two.

One must know that Aomo and Mositima are still people who have topics to be exploited.

However, fortunately, the reporters from the foreign land are mostly still at the previous case scene, and also resting and preparing to go tomorrow to compete for business with their surface-layer peers.

The Jidong Derby is such a grand event that it would attract attention even on an alien planet—how could the local media possibly ignore it?

Thus, now, around the two of them, aside from the similarly discount-attracted everyday consumers, there is no excessive disturbance.

In this era, fully automated supermarkets are plentiful, and even cargo‑handling robots may help you pick, but those who truly command the kitchen still habitually do the selecting themselves.

Just like the current lower‑level discount meat section, there are many people whose ages are distributed in a ladder‑like fashion—'older brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts', even grandfathers and grandmothers.

But with Aomo's noticeably improved physique and Mositima's slight exertion of some strength, this shopping trip is no longer that crowded.

Using the eased high‑data five‑dimensional approach to snatch goods—this isn't too over the top, right?

Aomo still recalls being eight years old, struggling in the supermarket discount‑area crowd, when he saw a man in black completely fling his hand to leave an afterimage to snag frozen goods—because opposite him there was also someone using spatial ability to feel out vegetables.

The discount supermarket in Boundary Gate District always has 'experts'.

Seeing some unbelievable sights, don't make a fuss; as long as no one is hurt and you simply clear the goods, no one will go report or even call the police at the supermarket.

Home cooks and housewives, on their usual 'battlefield', always have some unwritten latent provisions.

Just as Aomo now also notices that there are several pickers whose speed is clearly different from that of ordinary people.

Everyone mutually checks, confirms the shelves aren't overstocked, gives a slight nod, and then pays no further heed.

And he still needs to turn back to thank Mositima.
