Hiro woke up after three hours of sleep with anxiety because of his stomach's unusually loud protest.

So hungry. Winter made him feel hungry faster than usual.

"Ugh…"

'Why can't humans hibernate like bears so we don't need to eat in winter?' Hiro rubbed his empty stomach.

He headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He then decided to get out of his apartment for some fresh air before heading to Kira's supermarket to buy something to eat.

"Yo!" a gothic geisha lady greeted Hiro with a smile. The lady seemed to be enjoying a bowl of hot ramen on one of the tables in front of Kira's supermarket. She was wearing a set of black sportswear with a headset on her neck today.

"We meet again," Hiro muttered, not knowing how to react. He was too hungry, and it impeded his brain's ability to work properly.

"Are you going to eat? Buy something and eat with me here."

Hiro frowned.

'Why would I eat with you?'
