Ishishi and Noshishi on their First Errand

While cloud watching, Zorori gets the urge to eat a cream puff. Fortunately, they have enough money to buy some, but Zorori loses his while showing Ishishi and Noshishi the proper way to eat a cream puff. They still have enough left over for one more cream puff, but the store has run out. They are told that the neighboring town of Monshiro might have some cream puffs left. Ishishi and Noshishi then set out to get the cream puff as their first errand for Zorori-sensei. They run to catch the bus, only to find out if they pay the bus fair, they won't have enough money left for the cream puff. Then a girl named Malteinu runs up to the bus and asks to depart immediately. Two men have been chasing her. She pays for the twins and she escapes her pursuers. Ishishi and Noshishi learn that she is out on her own looking for a birthday present for her mother. A beautiful red flower she likes. Ishishi and Noshishi agree to help her with her shopping and all three head for Monshiro, all the while the two strange men keep following them.
