The boy takes out an odd, handheld device that showcased a blinding, bright screen. Kira squints at the thing as the boy raised the thin box-shaped device.

A flash.

"Ah, shit- What is this light?" Kira whispers to himself.

...

"Thanks!" The boy said in gratitude with a small smile on his face.

As the boy strides off, phone in hand, the rest of the group turns back to look at Kira, who was still slightly blinded by the dizzying flash. "Hey human, are you alright?" Kars asks, raising a brow. Kira grips his head, "Oh, I..." he murmurs, before being interjected by Valentine, who was clearly not enjoying the rain and the odd stares he got from other people, "Shall we proceed...Please?"

As they approached the store, they sighed in relief. At last, some form of shelter.

"Finally, some goddamn cover from this terrible rain." Diavolo groaned, crossing his arms in impatience, "I don't want to catch a cold."

"Do they have some nice 10 cent ramen?" Kira asks, hangry and famished as fuck.

"I don't know what this '10 cent ramen' is, but I would like to try it," Valentine says, looking down at the wet puddles right outside the store.

They walk in, completely drenched in rainwater, dripping water everywhere. Kars had a hard time squeezing through the door, especially with his huge body frame.

They stopped in their tracks. Then, they turned their heads to the cashier, who had a look of both confusion and fear plastered on his face.

"Aha... hey?" The cashier person chuckles nervously.

Pucci sighs," Whatever, get what you want and I'll pay for it with my money-"

"Your money?" Diego chuckles in disbelief, "Bahah... you're funny...You mean money."

Pucci, who didn't want to start another dumb argument, replied," Mhm, yeah sure, our money." He rolls his eyes as Diego had a proud, smug look on his face.

"Now that's the spirit," Diego laughs as he gives Enrico a jolly pat on the back.

Diavolo walks through the aisles of food and snacks, looking up and down. He grits his teeth. He never went outside to a public space in this form of himself. It was usually Doppio who did it for him. Oh, his sweet Doppio... Where was he now?

As he pondered, he noticed a man with an obnoxiously long, dinosaur tail, Diego, who was closely examining the rows of chips, wondering what they are.

Diego takes a bag and lightly shakes it in curiosity.

The crisp sound of chips ruffled from inside the bag, just pleading to be let out.

"Say," Diego turns his head to an unpleased and annoyed Diavolo who is standing right beside him, " What is this? Also, do they have a nice crunch?"

"Why are you asking me?" Diavolo asks sternly, very much annoyed by his presence.

"Well, because," Diego pauses, " I don't know what these are, so you better tell me before I decide to purchase it."

"Fine."

"So, does It have a nice crunch to it?"

"Of course, It's so fucking obvious. What are you? Stupid?"

Satisfied with the pink-haired man's answer, The Brando skips off with the bag of chips as Diavolo rolled his eyes.

'I hate that dino fuck. I swear to god, If he ever approaches me again, I'll kill him in one swoop with my King Crimson.'

Valentine looked around. Scanning the store with his eyes. He takes in a deep, steady breath and slowly but confidently walks forward.

The place felt static, very boring.

It was dimly lit. The buzzing, fluorescent lights being the only light source in the whole room. Sometimes flickering. It had a sickly clean atmosphere that any simple man may yuck at. He didn't know how, but It was rather cold too.

At the corner of his eye, he spots Kira, picking out sandwiches at the cold section.

"Is there anything bothering you?" He asks, wondering why Kira looked quite puzzled.

"Hrm... I can't decide which one to pick," -- Kira picks up a sandwich-- "This looks good," -- He picks up another one-- "But this also looks delicious..."

"Ah, I see..." Funny Valentine nudges forward.

"...I already miss the ' Sandwiches I used to buy in the afternoon. Ooh... they were great..." Kira sighs, longing for the peaceful life he used to have in the previous world he lived in.

"Oh, that's great, I guess..."

"Have you gotten anything yet?"

"I can't decide on anything. I do not know most of the 'foods' in this place." Valentine says. This was one of the times he didn't feel all that confident. It felt quite odd, honestly.

"I don't know what to recommend, but I suggest taking one of these sandwiches with a bottle of Cola. I rarely consume carbonated drinks, but I think you might enjoy it."

He hands a nearby Cola bottle to Valentine.

After 10 minutes of buying things at the store, everyone had their items except for Kars and Dio, who preferred blood over "Useless" human food.

Enrico bought some water and some bread.

Diego got two bags of chips because he liked the crunch.

Valentine has a strawberry sandwich along with a bottle of cola.

Yoshikage Kira ends up with a simple chicken sandwich.

Diavolo purchases some water. He just doesn't care about food anymore.

All of their food items were squished into one tight plastic bag.

By the time they exited the store, the rain had already stopped.

Their clothes, just dryer than before.

At this point, Enrico was just doing nearly everything for them. It was like babysitting a bunch of men. Well... almost literally.

As they minded their own business, a hooded man snatched the plastic bag out of Pucci's hands, swiftly running away with it.

Pucci jerked back in shock. It took a second for him to process this, but after realizing what had happened, he and the rest of the group chased after the figure into the darkness. Everyone was frustrated, angry, annoyed... Everyone except for Dio and Kars, of course. They were forced to come along.

"" Diavolo groans, " He just stole our shit...!"

"This was quite inconvenient. I guess lady luck isn't with us today..." Kira sighed. Oh boy, If he could just get his hands on that guy, he would most definitely kill him.
