[They end up spending quite a bit in the bookstore, and Wanderer at least ends up with several new mystery novels to try, a book of faerie tales, and another book he refuses to let Heizou see and has the clerk wrap in plain brown paper before he shoves it in his bag.]
[His eyes go bright. You asked for this, Wanderer!]
It's pretty simple, actually~ You already said that it isn't something I need to know about, because it "isn't for me." That implies that it's not for you, either. But you're hiding it all the same, keeping such a tight hold on your bag, which can only mean that you're embarrassed about the recipient. And in your case, only one person really fits that bill, you know! Obviously you don't even want to admit that it's a gift... Maybe you're telling yourself that you're just paying him back for all the flowers he sent you? I imagine his gifts and affections must confuse you, right?
[How true to their Inazuman roots. Heizou just smiles as he starts leading the way toward a cafe that has some good teas, swinging his own bag of books as he walks.]

Well, light novels are light for a reason. They're purely entertainment for the masses. Clearly you're a real man after my own heart~
[He glances over at Wanderer just to give him a little wink as he keeps winding through the rows of books.]
no subject
[He ignores!! That wink!! As he takes to the sky for a bit to get to the taller shelves.]
no subject
Well, there's no accounting for taste when it comes to the mass population. See anything interesting up there?

I'll give it to you when I'm done. I found it, after all.
no subject
Fiiiine. But I'm only borrowing it if it's good. And don't lie to me!

Not bad.
no subject
Did you have fun~? Think you'll be enjoying yourself with that mystery book~?
no subject
He shrugs.]
It'll be a decent way to kill time at night.
no subject
And that last book you got? Are you embarrassed to show it to me~?
no subject
No. It's just not something you need to know about.
no subject
No? [Heizou leans a little closer, head tilting while he studies him.] And why might that be?
no subject
Because it isn't for you.
no subject
[You can't trick Heizou, Wanderer. A sly little smile spreads across his face.]
Well. If it's coming from you, I'm sure he'll appreciate it very much~
no subject
[It is totally a gift.]
no subject
It's part of what I do, my dear wandering friend! I'm happy to share my deductive reasoning with you if you wanna hear it~

I don't know who or what you're talking about.
no subject
You know, your stubbornness just makes you cuter~

no subject
Now then, are you thirsty? We can grab some coffee on the way back to your place~
no subject
Tea's better, but if there's a place on the way back we can stop.

The more bitter the better, yes?
