chapter 6

As you slowly regained consciousness, your eyes fluttered open with a sudden jolt. Your gaze instinctively shifted to the side, where a delicate brush lay beside you. Its handle was adorned with intricate carvings of celestial bodies, each star meticulously etched into the smooth surface. A gleaming silver crescent Moon gracefully adorned the end of the brush, casting a soft glow in the dimly lit room.

As you gaze upon the brush, a sense of curiosity washes over you. It's as if you are drawn to it, yet you cannot recall ever seeing it before. There is a mysterious allure to its bristles, each one delicately crafted and poised for artistic expression. You find yourself captivated by the intricate design of the handle, its smooth surface adorned with intricate patterns that seem to tell a story of their own. It's a peculiar sensation, this mixture of fascination and forgetfulness that envelops your mind.

As you reach out and grasp the brush, your fingers delicately curl around its smooth handle. With a sense of secrecy, you carefully place it within the confines of the dresser, ensuring it remains concealed from prying eyes. Following your usual morning routine, you meticulously go through each step, methodically preparing yourself for another day of work.

Today, Dumpling was on the counter, doing his usual thing of licking his paws and being a regular dumpling. You were at the cash register, but then you remembered that you forgot to ask your landlord if pets are allowed in the apartment complex. Maybe you can ask Miss instead, your boss?

When you asked her about having pets during your break, she mentioned that small pets are allowed, but not dogs because they tend to bark a lot. Curious, you asked her how she knew this, and she kindly explained that she is a friend of the landlord.

After completing your work for the day, you found yourself in need of a nearby pet shop. With your phone in hand, you diligently searched for the most convenient option.

Upon arriving at the location, you discovered a charming establishment known as the Crazy Animal Lovers Pet Shop. As you did not possess a bicycle, you opted to walk to the shop. The exterior of the shop was adorned with a sign that proudly displayed its name, "Crazy Animal Pet Shop." Intrigued by what lay inside, you made your way through the entrance.

One can hear the cacophony of squawking birds, the haunting howls of dogs, and a plethora of other wild animal noises, which ultimately led to the name being bestowed upon this place.

As you stepped into the establishment, a courteous worker approached you with a warm smile. "Excuse me, Miss," they said politely, "would you be interested in considering the adoption of one of these captivating and endearing animals?" Meanwhile, in the background, a disgruntled employee was heard expressing frustration towards a mischievous cockatoo.

During your visit to the store, you had the opportunity to meet Carl, a diligent worker who kindly offered to show you around. As you explored the various sections, Carl made sure to provide you with detailed explanations and answer any questions you had. It was during this informative tour that you happened to notice two adorable curly-haired mice, adding a touch of charm to the store's animal culture.

The value of the mouse amounts to a total of coins 2. While you had intentions of acquiring more mice in the future, it is necessary to establish a suitable enclosure for them at present. According to your calculations, this endeavor will require a certain amount of financial investment, which will inevitably reduce the funds in your possession. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 200 coins will be expended, taking into account the cost of the cage, toys, and food. It is quite possible that the actual amount may exceed this figure.

Upon leaving the store, you find yourself contemplating the acquisition of mice for your next visit. As you stroll along the bustling streets, you happen upon an electronic store. Peering through the glass, you spot an antiquated television. However, a predicament arises: how will you transport it to your abode in the absence of a suitable means of conveyance?

Upon your return to your apartment, you inadvertently collide with another individual.

I was just about to extend my sincerest apologies to the gentleman with the striking pink hair. His luscious locks were meticulously styled into a graceful ponytail braid that gracefully cascaded down to the nape of his neck. Adorning his face were a smattering of delightful freckles, which added a touch of charm to his countenance. His warm, brown eyes exuded a sense of wisdom and kindness. Dressed in a fashionable pink sweater, he appeared to be in the prime of his early twenties.

He began to apologize profusely to you even before you had a chance to utter a single word. "Oh, it's quite alright," you responded, offering him a gentle smile. You noticed a faint blush creeping onto his cheeks, and you couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him. After all, he seemed to be a rather timid individual.

As an awkward individual, you may try to calm the timid man by gently patting him on
the back.

Instead of patting him on the back and acknowledging his monologue, you decide to take a step back and observe from a distance. As he continues to talk to himself, you can't help but feel a strange aura surrounding him. With a sense of urgency, you briskly walk towards your apartment, eager to distance yourself from the peculiar situation.

As you swiftly turned the key in the lock, ensuring the door was securely closed behind you, a faint sound caught your attention. It was a subtle noise, barely audible, but enough to pique your curiosity. You instinctively reached for your phone, expecting to see a message from Mista, your friend who often had a knack for timing his communication perfectly. However, to your surprise, it wasn't Mista who had reached out to you, but rather the quest app, beckoning you to embark on a new adventure.

Hey there, buddy! It's your pal, guess who? Yup, it's me! I just had to pop in and let you know that you're one step closer to uncovering the mystery of your neighbor. How exciting is that? I mean, who doesn't love a little bit of nosiness, am I right? Keep up the good work, my friend!

As you raise an eyebrow inquisitively, you cannot help but notice the peculiar behavior of your neighbor, Loki. A low growling sound emanates from your stomach, reminding you of your hunger. With a sense of familiarity, you begin to search for something to satiate your appetite. Eventually, your quest leads you to discover a Tupperware container filled with delectable French toast. Accompanying this delightful find is a note, thoughtfully left behind.

Dear y/n,

I hope this message finds you well. I couldn't help but notice your absence today, and in light of that, I took the liberty of leaving you a serving of freshly toasted bread. Regrettably, the accompanying sausage was consumed by our dear pet, Dumpling.

On a brighter note, I have procured additional Pokemon stickers, which I know you hold a fondness for. They can be found in your room, alongside a bracelet.

Wishing you a pleasant day ahead.

Warm regards,
[Your Name]

As you delicately savor each bite of the delectable French toast, a soft smile graces your countenance. Your eyes are drawn to the note before you, which brings a sense of warmth and joy to your heart. It is a testament to the fact that you retired to bed early on that particular day, seeking rest and rejuvenation.
