This is what Barbara looks like. It took me a long time to draw this.

"Ummm," you could have sworn that you were pause for a second.

Your eyebrows raise in concern as you realize you can't linger on this too long. You don't want to look lost in the middle of the grocery store, so you push your cart towards the cash register.

You paid for all your groceries, then you took all the groceries to the apartment and put them up before leaving again to go clothes shopping.

Luckily, there were no special events happening when you went clothes shopping. Now, you can say that you have a nice collection of hoodies. You even got a hoodie that has a Pikachu on it.

And some more clothes. You wash them before putting them in your closet. That's another thing you have in your apartment. You have a whole washing machine in here. Lucky for you.

You lie down for a minute, feeling a little bit lonely. 'Maybe you should get a cat or something, like the one in the cafe. That cat is one of the reasons why a lot of people come to the cafe anyway'.

'And there are many other reasons, but most of the customers that you review love that cat, Dumpling. That was his name. He was a big cat, and you can see why he gets his name - you can always see him lying down or sleeping around somewhere. He was a nice, very friendly cat'.

'Maybe the reason why he is very friendly is to get food out of people. Who knows? You need to think about how to escape this game world. Sometimes, it is good to think about other things so you don't get overwhelmed,' you think to yourself.

You set up, looking towards the blank wall. You really need to buy a TV so you can have some kind of noise. All that shopping you did almost cleaned out your wallet. You remember how much you had - you had 2,056 coins. The clothes took away a good 200 coins, and groceries took away 300 coins. That leaves you with 1,550 coins. You really need to learn how to budget. It could be a lot worse, but still.

Luckily, rent is due in a couple of
Weeks. If you get paid about coins 300 a week, you should have more in your bank account. However, you can't spend it on food and trinkets. Some of that money was already spent, so you need to slow down your buying, along with other things. But before you stop, you have to go visit the cafe that Barbara doesn't like.

You know you shouldn't go, but curiosity is pulling you towards it. You got up off your butt to leave your apartment again. Instead of going in the direction of the grocery store, you went to that cafe. You can't help but feel like you're being watched as you pass Barbara's Cafe, and you think she saw you.

But still, you kept going. You walked through the café doors, and immediately, the scent of fresh bread and something sweet hit your nose.

A male greets you as you walk in. He has red eyes and fair skin, with white hair he reaches a height of 5 '10". He has a slim to average build, and his hair looks rather unusual, one might say.
And he was wearing a suit. He walked you to

a table, and you sat down. There was already a menu on the table. You thought it was a cafe, not a restaurant. You looked at the menu, and your eyes almost popped out of their sockets. You just said you were going to save money, not spend it all.

You looked around and noticed that you were the only one wearing a hoodie, jogger pants, and bunny slippers. Feeling embarrassed, and you decided to change clothes before going out again to feel more comfortable. Now you feel uncomfortable.

And you noticed that you were the only person sitting alone, and some people glanced at you, which made you feel more embarrassed.

To not look odd and leave right away, instead, you just looked at the menu for the cheapest thing. It was breadsticks, the cheapest item on here. Where it's breadsticks ranging around 20 coins, that's a lot for some breadsticks. These breadsticks better be good.

You got the attention of a waiter. You recognize him.

'That was the same guy who reached out and got the ice cream for you,' you think to yourself as he gets closer.

"Hello, Miss. Can I take your order and your number~?" he says flirtatiously, while giving a wink.

You look at him blankly and give a simple "no" as a response.

He looks disappointed with your response., "I would like some breadsticks though," you told him.

He looks back up and gives you a flirtatious look. "You can-" you cut him off, giving him a blank stare, and say, "I just want these expensive breadsticks."

He walked off a couple of minutes later, and returned with some freshly baked breadsticks. Those are the best-looking breadsticks that you have ever seen in your life, or at least the best ones that you can remember.

You count the breadsticks and realize that it said it came with 10, not 20. Well, more for you! You're not complaining.

You were not complaining until your waiter decided to sit down and eat one of your precious breadsticks right in front of you. You may not have paid for them yet, but still.

"It's on the house," he said, with a mouthful of breadstick, as he took multiple of your precious breadsticks. Well, can you call it stealing if you didn't pay for them?

You finally decided to eat one of the breadsticks. As you took a bite, you noticed it had a crunchy outside and a fluffy inside with a garlicky buttery taste.

"Hmmm", as you eat the breadsticks, these breadsticks are some of the best that you can remember.

You heard a masculine chuckle as you ate.

"Is it good?" He ask

You nodded your head in agreement.

"I'm on my lunch break, for you" he said, while giving you a flirtatious smile. You gave a quick response, saying "Okay."
.....

....

It was so awkward between you two, well, for him, not for you. You were chilling and eating breadsticks.

"So... how are you?" he asked as you eat your breadsticks.

"Good," you gave a quick, simple reply.

"So, what brings you here at Bucci Restaurant?" he asked you.

"Food," you gave another simple reply.

He awkwardly sweats as you continue to eat breadsticks, not paying attention to anything but the garlicky bread.

'How am I supposed to start a conversation when all she gives are one-word replies?' he looks around.

Hello everybody, I hope you enjoy this chapter of this fanfic. I'll be portraying Fugo in the manga character design-wise.

I tried my best not to make Mista out of character, but if he is, I apologize. :⁠-⁠(

The reader in the story is antisocial and, in short, she is an introvert.

Except for the people she's known, like Barbara.

Well, I have to go. I hope you enjoyed the sketch I drew. See you later. Have a good day/night.
