The Denpa-Men, however, payed no attention to the sleeping creature.
Despite how much larger it was than them, thy were in desperate need of
food, and continued following the scent.

“Hey, I knew there’d be something in here!” The blue Denpa exclaimed
as she laid eyes on the pie. “It’s… You know… One of those big crispy

He began squeaking something to the effect of “It’s mine! Get your own!”

He hoped that would be the end of it. All he wanted to do was enjoy his treat in peace. What’s more, there was something oddly familiar about this bunch…
