Labyrinth Restaurant

"Sometimes brothers and sisters, why don't you eat slowly without water"

One day, Cosmos said that abruptly.

The homunculus have so many people in one way or another that there is little opportunity for everyone to dine with them.

So I don't have the hassle of cosmos' sheer plan to get everyone together for a dinner party to deepen my family...

"Oh, that's it this time because I want to try it once and for all called the dark pot. Please bring your own ingredients."

Thus, it was decided to hold a dark pot party without any context.

Just 'cause it sounds interesting'.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

"Yeah, Asagao. Let's see what's different from us once."

Now, on this occasion, which was suddenly decided, it was Asagao and Yugao who were showing their international intentions.

The two of them, who suffered a complete defeat to some of the world's smelliest cans about a few months ago, were in a pretty good mood to regain their loss in doing so. In a bad direction.

We will no longer even know where the hell they are going.

Now, if it's also a banquet for a few dozen, it's narrow to rent out those stores, and that's not the case with stores that rent places to suspicious events that are outrageous in many ways in the first place. If you do poorly, you could be mistaken for a cult rally and be reported.

So what was chosen as this banquet hall is a room in the public building, which is often used primarily as a meeting room. You don't have to worry about getting in the way because you're usually done with all your business.

I've gathered tables and chairs, prepared all ten sets of magical stoves and pans each, and in a suspicious atmosphere where I dropped the lights and closed all the curtains, Cosmos stood before everyone to greet the opening meeting.

"Today's rules will be in the form of eating and repeating new ingredients every turn. Loss of consciousness, or defeat there if you fail to rise within Tencount after down. It should be noted that once secured things shall absolutely be eaten"

The opening address should have been the rule explanatory tone for some reason.

By the way, today's cosmos is in a state of childhood. It's not often inconvenient, but due to various circumstances, she likes this shape and is mostly in this shape for the holidays.

This child mode is also extraordinarily popular with Cosmos sisters, and it seems that Asagao and Yugao are no exception,

"Yugao, your sister in that look is always small and cute"

"Yes, you want to take it back and keep it. Looks like it would fit a collar for a big dog or something, and tie it to the chain..."

"Huh, keep... Huh? Oh, uh, yugao?

"Oh, what's wrong, Asagao?

"Yes, no, nothing"

Asagao decided not to see the dark parts of his mind that had inadvertently glimpsed either the unknown side of Yugao, who often acted together from time to time.

Well, it's safe if you just think about it. I'm sure, it's pretty critical, for once.

In the unlikely event that my eldest sister went missing, Asagao kept it deeply in mind at that time in an attempt to report the suspect's presence to the authorities immediately (Tarekomi).

"So shall we get started? I... Yugao, you're gonna have to put me in this seat."

"Yeah, sister. Go ahead."

After finishing his greeting, Cosmos sat just in the empty seat.

Neighbor Yugao had a very good smile, plus that neighbor Asagao had an indescribable troubled look on her face, but since the lighting had already been dropped, no one would pay attention to their faces.

From here on out, all you have to do is eat the ingredients you bring to the pot for each table.

There are five groups in all of the Cosmos.

It's cosmos, asagao, yugao and masculine hinoki and kusnoki.

All of them put the ingredients in turn, then heated them up a lot and got to the eating steps......,

"This... oh, nothing seems to be in it?

Nothing responds when the most handy cosmos sticks the chopsticks inside the pan.

We explored the pot as well as the other faces, but never found anything that looked like ingredients.

"Guys, what did you put in now?

The dark pot is a good way to actually try it and check the ingredients if it is meant to be, but Cosmos asked everyone who decided that it was not a good idea.

"Miso," "Candy Ball," "Consomme Soup," "Olive Oil," "Soba Tsuyu"

No way, three out of five are liquids.

Miso and candy balls must have melted with heat too.

"Juice, right"

"What is just pure liquid? But this is delicious in a way."

I couldn't take it with chopsticks, so I drank it with a bunch of renge, and it wasn't extremely yummy or tasty, so I went on a second tour with no shepherds out.

"Shall we take the second turn?"

"Then the advance as you cross the line starts with me. Draw! Turn end with attack display of laying ingredients."

The second turn started with Asagao.

Attack displays, laying down ingredients, it's like a card game, but it doesn't make any particular deep sense because I'm just saying it in Nori. It's like having all the ingredients lying on the ground in the sense that the room is dark in the first place.

But even if the line itself was a story, the ingredients I put in were bees in a way. That is, it emitted a pump and ammonia odor before I put it in, and it had a different presence.

"Asagao, you're going to fight here... then I'll be next"

In addition, Yugao then also puts an object in the pan that emits an intense odor. The signs of miso and soba sauce put in the first turn disappeared in an instant.

Later, even if Cosmos, Hinoki and Kusnoki each add another ingredient, it's not as if they can counteract it.

"This is inside..."

At other tables, each appeared to be thriving, but the overwhelming odor has attracted the attention of the Asagaos' pans at all times. And where I felt the attention climaxed, Asagao and Yugao moved to clear up previous humiliations.

Flash the chopsticks.

We relied on the smell to grasp exactly what we put in and carried it straight into our mouths without any hesitation. "Sawdust" and "Hon Ofe", where the smell is amplified to the extreme by heating, after aging to the limit.

"Ugh... ku... oh"

"Mmm... oh,"

Incidentally, wasabi is a food that is soaked in a fermentation solution similar to fish soy sauce, fermented with lactic acid, and then dried in the heavenly sun. Hon Ofe is a foodstuff fermented with raw ei in a jar with walnuts and pine leaves.

Both are famous for their tremendous odors, not to mention if you want to heat up and eat something like that, it's not strange to pass out in shock.

But both Asagao and Yugao are different from those days when they succumbed to sur streaming.

To clear up that humiliation, from day to day looking for stinking food, I repeatedly tried to get used to my tongue and nose, waiting for the tiger sights and revenge opportunities.

Their guts, their artists, their souls, they attracted victory.

"Oh, hey, you want it!

"Yum, it is!

They survived their former defeat and cleared the snowflake beautifully. Except for Cosmos. It's like we don't know what's going on, but we all applauded with Nori without knowing.

Well, right after that, cosmos, whose taste is childish, passed out with the smell of melting into the pan, so it ends just enough from the start of the dark pan. I never went into it after the third turn.

"This shouldn't be. Asagao, I'm going to have to take care of your sister, so I'm going to let you fall out of this."

"I'm worried, I'll accompany you, Yugao."

"No, not at all. Oh, and this has nothing to do with your sister in particular, but do you have any idea what pet supply stores are open at this hour?

"Hey."

Well, in conclusion, this time it didn't happen particularly dangerous because it also had Asagao's eyes. Exquisitely, I woke up. The three of us took a bath with Cosmos, about to accompany him overnight. It shouldn't be particularly weird if you're sisters. Yeah, it should be.

It seems that they and their girlfriends in Homunculus, who lacked personality when they were just born, have also become more and more different in character and preference over time. That's probably a good thing... unless it involves criminality.
