Our kitchen has been intense since Kotoko arrived.

Dahhhhhh! What did you just put in there?

"It's a secret!

"Already!... hey, Kaol, is she always like that?

"Absolutely not, I'll help you steal anything... Shiz, what's wrong?"

"I barely talk, and I'm staring at my cock and my cock."

Shiz, what's going on?

……

It's already a familiar sight, a ramen showdown that has become a routine. I'm given a morning training break, but I'm the only one with prototypes and experiments....

"If you ask me whether it's a miso or a kaolin or a tonkotsu, it's because the miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen are different food in me, and the curry rice and hayashi rice are as different."

Today is a draw too.

I can't win the trick.

"Toshisan, is the showdown over?

"I'm just finishing my meal and saying what I think."

"Can I have another cup of ramen? I also made Shizuka."

"Shiz, you were just staring at me to steal it!?

"Of course, I have a tasting for both of you."

This is....

"Gotcha! Shit! Shiz did it to me!

"What the hell! We've got two guys we need to pull out!

"This is... yeah, all three of today's cups taste different, but you like Shizuka the most, right? This is what you're after me, right?

"That's right! I made the kao miso based on Kotoko's tonkotsu and made it into Toshi's favorite spicy miso! I tried the noodles and it is a medium thick chicken noodle scallop that I think I like the most!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! It's a driftstone! It's annoying!"

"Remember next time!

"Toshi, are you there? Are you tasting?

"What happened to Yoshiko?

Don!

"Just in time, please try a new tasting!

Dahhhhhh! Why did you bring a tasting bowl with the biggest bowl? I told you to bring it because it's a little small like three people! Three cups of ramen in the morning, a special assortment of beef bowls, and so on are usually impossible!

"Last time the yogi wasabi beef bowl looked spicy, but this time I'm confident! Rice Bowl Topped with Salted Spicy Squid

"Even if you're confident, the tasting is small... hmm? I wasn't expecting it, but this is good. Is it lighter than usual? But the saltiness is good."

"Oh, this time it's good?

"I like it, but don't you think I'd ask you to look at the other menu?"

Ah, do you like that level?

"In summer, it's going to be a different feeling, when you want to eat salty beef... if you have ice in that rice bowl, it's going to be a cold salty beef bowl like that."

Another cold beef bowl? Don't tell me that! Cold juice! Let's start with Normal!

"Let's make it cold....."

"Kaol, don't even think about it. Help me with the experiment!

Something happened to Yoshiko too.

Shiz, where are you going? Wait! "

I ran out of time.

"... is it always like this?

Well, here's the thing.

"Shizu and Yoshiko were monsters, Noah, Sue and Sen...."

"Kotoko, don't do anything. Try to do one thing like Yoshiko. There's plenty of time. Good luck."

"Yeah! I can't lose!

Yoshidaya's sign product is finished after this... but it's still a long way off.
