Chapter 170: [The Price Of Health]

A cooking showdown with Angu Ogu.

The suggestion was made not to spoil the surprise with the ingredients, but we were stopped.

Regardless of being a lady or not, it's nobody's fault and unavoidable. But entrusting the Secret Service, Angu Ogu's bodyguards, with the role of guardians. Oh, I see.

>

>

>

It seemed like they were listening to our conversation as we received a signal from the Secret Service personnel.

Once decided, we began tossing ingredients into the shopping cart.

However, because the ingredients were so large, the cart wasn't filling up quickly! That's right, the cart itself was ridiculously huge.

>

>

Not a metaphor, but cola stretched as far as the eye could see. This sight seemed like something you could only find here.

>

Naturally, it was in cases. In fact, they only sold it in cases.

As expected of the scale.

And Ango Ogu's description of it as ‘drinking water' was not just a metaphor, it seemed.

I went to look for ‘regular water' anyway…

>

>

Of course, it depends on the brand, but the water was ridiculously expensive.

Or rather, cola is too cheap compared to the cost of living.

But we can't just not buy it.

I tried to load it into the cart.

>

Water was only sold in dozens of bottles, so it was heavy. With strained efforts, Ango Ogu and I managed to lift it and load it into the cart.

>

>

No doubt about that. Medical bills here are insanely high. Iroha, did you get overseas insurance in Japan?>>

>

I think that was the right choice. Even with insurance, medical costs are high, and not all hospitals accept it. Only those in partnership with the contracted insurance.

>

When your health is in the worst condition, and you finally make it to the hospital… just the thought of it is hell.

>

>

>

>

>

After looking around, I noticed that the healthier products were more expensive. Things like vegetables and water. On the other hand, unhealthy foods are surprisingly cheap, like junk food and cola.

>

>

I already have to see the doctor quite frequently. Emergency services are more expensive than regular visits in Japan, but the difference is significant.

>

Slippers, detergent, and a voltage converter were tossed into the cart.

Or rather, they actually sold it…

Walmarkets is amazing.

Just when I thought that was everything, I spotted something sold that would never be seen in Japan.

>

I tugged at Ango Ogu's shirt hem and pointed at the showcase.
