Ch. 1 ~ The Cooking Lover and the Fried Rice Master
Kamira: Hah~ Today's practice was fun, but it was really tough~!
Seriously, my tiredness is capped, or, like, I'm beat~
Mito: Mito, too...
When acting... You have to project your voice from your stomach, and you're always standing and moving around, so it takes a lot of energy.
Iroha: Uuu...
Kamira: Ahaha! Irocchi's stomach started talking, too?
But seriously, you're so cute when you're embarrassed~!
Iroha: I apologize.
It seems I have used up all the energy from lunch...
Iroha: I had no snacks, and it feels l might collapse before I return home unless I eat something quickly...
Kamira: Me too~ ...
Let's grab something from the convenience store?
Mito: We finished late today, too.
Mito: ... Ah.
Kamira: Wazzup, Mitorin?
Mito: Today, Grandpa and Grandma are busy.
The restaurant is also closed... I have to do something about my own dinner.
Iroha: Ooohh! Which means,
it's a chance to eat out together!?
Mito: Ehehe... That's how it is.
Kamira: While we're at it, how 'bout we go all out at a real restaurant!?
I think my place'll be fine if I call them~
Iroha: I agree with this suggestion!
I currently wish to eat as I desire...!
Mito: Are you sure?
Thank you... Both of you.
Kamira: It's fine, it's fine~ So, I've got this place I wanna recommend~
Someone you know's working there, see.
Iroha: Kamira-chan's recommendation?
Kamira: Yeah!
Don't sweat the small stuff, it'll definitely be good, so anyways let's go~!
Xue: 'elcome!
Go ahead and find an empty seat.
Iroha: A ramen shop is also fine!
Iroha: It smells good~ ...
Kamira: Right?
Ordering is ticket-style, by the way~
Mito: ... Huh?
Over there is...
Iroha: Wah! Good evening, Xue-chan~
Mito: G, good afternoon...!
Xue: You guys, why are you...!?
Xue: Kamira led you?
Kamira: Wait wait, saying I led them, with a face like that, doesn't it seen like I did something bad?
I just heard this place was good from Hikarin~
Xue: So it was Hikari. Geez...
Xue: So, your orders? Did you already buy your tickets?
Iroha: Hawawa, I haven't yet.
Iroha: Right! Does Xue-chan have any recommendations?
Xue: Recommendations...? The ramen and half fried rice set.
The soy sauce tonkotsu broth is our specialty. The fried rice can be mixed, tingling spice, or with a thick sauce.
Kamira: With sauce!?
That sounds good~ I'll go with that.
Iroha: Hmmm... I'm a little curious about the tingling spice fried rice...
However, I shall go with the orthodox one here!
Mito: Ah, then Mito's will be the tingling spice...
Xue: Thanks for waiting.
Soy sauce tonkotsu half fried rice sets for 3 people.
Mito: I, it's already done...!?
Three people's portions at the same time, too...
Kamira: Ah, right, reviews were saying service here was crazy fast.
Time to eat~
Iroha: Let's eat!
Kamira: The ramen's so good!
This soup, along with the sweetness of the tonkotsu, the soy sauce really gets you!
Iroha: The fried rice, too, the charred soy sauce and green onions are so fragrant...!
I can't get enough of the strong flavors~!
Iroha: Mito-chan, how is your tingling spice fried rice?
Mito: This too...
I, it's really tasty...!
Mito: The instant I put it in my mouth, the fragrance of the pepper...
The broad bean paste and... The tingling of the Sichuan peppers really stimulates the appetite.
Kamira: Seems like Hikarin also likes Sheshe's spicy flavoring.
She said she could eat several bowls while huffing and puffing.
Xue: That girl could eat several bowls of anything...
Xue: Shiromaru, hand me your cup. You need a water refill, right?
Mito: T, thank you...!
Iroha: It's wonderful how Xue-chan is also good at serving customers.
I'll report this to my sister when I get back.
Mito: Right...
Mito: Ah, Iroha-chan.
Mito: Would you like to try Mito's?
I haven't put my mouth on this side yet, so...
Iroha: Can I!? Well then, I shall take you up on this offer...
Iroha: Nom...
Iroha: Mmmmm\~\~...!
It's spicy, but it's sooo tasty\~\~!
Mito: Isn't it?
Iroha: Ugh... I can't stop my hands.
Is it okay if I eat some more?
Mito: Hehe.
T, then, let's trade? Mito is also curious about... How yours tastes.
Iroha: Go ahead, go ahead!
Then, here's my plate...
Xue: They get along well, these two.
Kamira: Right~
Mito: This mixed fried rice, is also really good.
Compared to the one we normally make at home, it's completely different...
Xue: Naturally.
The burners for home use and restaurants have different strengths, too.
Kamira: But, but, Mitorin's place is also a restaurant.
It's known for its really good Japanese food, you know?
Xue: Come to think of it, I've heard about that.
Xue: Hehe, it's an honor to be praised by someone in the same business.
Mito: ... Yeah, Xue-chan,
I really think you're amazing.
