[ Would it be weird for Nanashi to go up to Jouhei and go "Hey, so your coworker is coming along to go grocery shopping with us!"? Yeah, it'd be weird. Jouhei is not allowed to suspect anything.
This'll work instead: The next time Nanashi and Jouhei plans to go to the store, Nanashi tips Minato off and Minato gets there ahead of them, rehearsing a "Fancy meeting you here! What a coincidence." in his head while he circles the store keeping a lookout for the other two, making several passes by the sample stalls of salmon cream cheese spread on toast until he starts getting turned away.
Being anxious and excited about finally discovering the source of strawberry candies does not stop Minato from capitalizing on free breakfast. ]

[ jouhei is someone who follows a routine. every monday, he sits down and writes in his planner on what to do for the week. every wednesday, he reorganizes the kitchen and all his bowls and plates. every friday and saturday, he makes meals based on the leftovers in his fridge. but, most importantly, every sunday, he goes grocery shopping. sometimes, he goes alone and other times, he brings nanashi like today. ]
[ currently, he does not suspect anything as he walks into the store. what is there to suspect? it's just going to be another normal day and he's going to buy his food. he takes two baskets at the entrance and hands one to nanashi so he can grab whatever he wants around the store as well. ]
[ will they be successful on their mission? we will find out ]

[Nanashi's keeping a close eye on Jouhei's movements. He's being a little too conspicuous about it. This guy doesn't have any chill. He'll be bouncing down the aisle smiling.
I'm pretty sure Nanashi made up some crapass excuse earlier: "Oh yeah, you know my senpai and he works at your place! Let's go shopping!" So here we are.
What's Jouhei's secret?? ? Where are these candies coming from? The world may never know. ]

[Oh my god. Why is Jouhei using the app?
Nanashi's got some explaining to do. He really doesn't want to deal with this. Instead of talking to Jouhei about his new circumstances, Nanashi runs towards the door at full speed.

[ jouhei is using the app and he is learning so much, little cousin. he's learning so darn much. ]
[ in fact, when nanashi opens the apartment door, he will find jouhei sitting at the dining table on his dumb nokia phone, clearly reading up on all the information that people are throwing at him and also replying back. he is very absorbed into this ]

[ The 16th time around, Minato is given his own little platter of toast so that he won't stop coming back, and it's now that he sees Nanashi and Jouhei and makes a beeline directly towards them in no way that can be excused as a coincidence.
His mouth is full of crunchy bread, though, so he can't recite what he'd practiced... Instead, he holds out the plate for each of them to offer a sample, and hopefully to get Jouhei to let his guard down. ]

[ ah, hello. he did not expect to see minato here but he's not really upset about it. rather than actually saying, you know, hello or something, jouhei just nods at him like that's a proper greeting instead. ]
[ and he takes a piece of toast from minato's plate without really suspecting anything ]

[Nanashi tries some of the bread too. It's pretty good. While he's munching on it he attempts to secretly pass Minato one of those strawberry candies.
Remember he said he would? Minato might suddenly find 2 strawberry candies in his pocket.
This is supposed to be a hidden message!!! Jouhei can't know what's up! ]

[ jouhei looks at nanashi's phone then back at his and then shrugs. ]
It's still okay.
[ if nanashi peeks over jouhei's shoulder to look at his phone again, he will see that it's taking forever to load the retrospec app. it's been like this for the past three minutes... ]

[ Oh? Oh. Even if they don't find out the secret today, Minato's already coming out on top with +2 strawberry candies. He nods his thanks at Nanashi, while in the same motion, continues passing Jouhei more bread.
Dry bread with salty spread. After eating about ten of them, you start to crave something sweet, like, say, addictive strawberry hard candies. Maybe he can subconsciously plant this craving into Jouhei's mind. ]

[ even if jouhei sees the little exchange, he has no idea what it's supposed to mean. he just assumes that nanashi is being nice and sharing the candy that he got earlier so nothing to be suspicious about. ]
[ he does take more pieces of toast and hm, minato's plan works because it does make him want to eat something sweet. after eating, he tends to have a single hard candy so he's left with a sweet taste in his mouth so he reaches into his pocket to pull out two. he takes one for himself but then he holds out the other for minato. jouhei isn't a monster, he knows how to say thank you so here is his thank you through candy ]
[ you get none, nanashi ]

[Everyone's here to give Minato candies. Nanashi doesn't feel like eating sweets right now. Why are you guys like this?
He's happy to give his share away. Give him another minute or so and he'll finish eating his bread in proper. Then he just goes for another slice because this bread is too good to give up.
They should buy some. ]

[ The thank you candy is gratefully accepted. That bumps up today's earnings to three, and he still has three candies back home stashed away in his safety deposit box. He can enjoy one every two months now.
But here it is, a link to the candies that they should pursue, so Minato steps over to the bread and cracker aisle and pulls some of the bread off the shelves. Around five or six loaves that get stacked inside Jouhei's and Nanashi's grocery baskets. No other food. Only bread. Bread leads to candy. ]

[Oh no. It's that judging stare....! What's wrong with six???? If you have stomach for sweets then you've got a stomach for bread!!!
Nanashi nudges Jouhei's shoulder like "hey, can we take one extra?".
He can make some sort of compromise and go home with two instead. Nanashi is truly a kid. Can you blame him for having a big appetite? In the event that Jouhei refuses to take one extra then Nanashi will pay for it with his own allowance. ]

[ Yeah, come on, Jouhei. Minato isn't part of this household but he will still pick up the cream cheese spread used on the samplers and hold it up for Jouhei to see. It's like. A gallon sized bulk purchase or something, but you save so much, considering the price per ounce. And with that much spread, you'll need at least two loafs of bread. ]
[ why are these two tag-teaming up on him? are they working on commission and the more bread they sell, the more money they get? ah, whatever, another loaf of bread won't hurt, he guesses, especially if nanashi is asking for some. he'll just nod at nanashi, silently agreeing for him to let him take that extra one. ]
[ jouhei then looks at minato, tipping his hat a bit as a silent goodbye, and begins to walk further into the store. he'll just leave nanashi to grab whatever he wants to eat and he assumes that minato has nothing else to do with him so he just wanders off. ]
