After I got of the bullet train, I really had to get nourished properly, the ride was very exhausting, and before I rode the train, I thought to hold my hunger for a bit so I could eat properly, but after 3 hours I could not resist not eating anymore, even during the ride I ate one of those Bento boxes to calm my stomach for a bit, not enough but man they sure know how to pack a lavish looking meal.
But worse was that before I got to Tokyo, I had to hitch a freight tanker from Korea right after I rode a train from Russia to China, basically: I deserve a week-long rest and a big hearty meal.
With the sun just minutes before it set into the night, I had to think where to go get a bite, a BIG bite and might as well thrown in lodge in there too, but if I even had trouble within Tokyo, I cannot imagine troubles far away from the capital, but that's the least of my concerns, if someone where to discover my curse, I won't know what will follow, but it will be bad. Fortunately, winter was coming so I could help myself with a jacket, cargo pants, light boots, a scarf and my trusty tanker hat, as for my face, I don't know why the idea of using my coyote skull mask even came from but that was the only thing I had in my possession to cover my face, I'll just tell everyone that I like wearing masks.
My Japanese is at very best below average, but could be worse than accidentally insulting someone, but now that I was within the streets, I suppose that asking would not hurt. So picture a coyote masked weirdo asking where to eat and lodge, and I went nowhere, even one girl asked me for a picture because she thought my mask was cool, but in the end I ended laying down on a bench somewhere in a park, thinking how did I even got there, the frustration got me and I just started wandering looking for somewhere to rest, I was so frustrated and hungry that I pulled a cigarette out of my jacket pocket, fully aware that I could get arrested for not doing it in one of those smoker cabins but the stress got the better of me, even more that I brought a few packs from Russia could get me fined for possible illegal import, and worse if they found out I got here illegally, all of these thoughts just urged me to whip it quickly as there where little people out of corner of the eye.
Before I could even light the tip, my eye caught a small wandering food stand that was just finishing setting up. I was really hungry so the plan of a big hearty meal was out of the question so I just got up and went directly to the stand, whatever they were selling, it smelled good. Fortunately, I managed to exchange money before I hitched the tanker so I could pay, but I could barely understand the many and what the older man was telling me. Before I could even mutter a word, a female voice joins in and tells the man something, maybe ordering food and the man went to do his usual business, I turn around and I see a relatively young dark-browned haired girl taking a seat beside me, she was wearing a black shawl with a bowtie, a black hat with a bigger white bowtie, white shirt and a black long skirt, she looked like a magician's assistant to be honest.
"Don't worry! I ordered for you since I could see you had trouble ordering, you're clearly not from around here, love the mask by the way!" said the girl.
"Thanks?" I hesitantly responded "not to annoy you but why did you order for me?"
"Whenever I bring friends to this stand, I always tell the owner to give them his "rookie special "," You'll love it!" she responded
"I see..." I answer back.
