Chapter 241 [Fanwai] Wanzi Soba War (1)

Toka Soba, Yokohama branch.

It's a small shop with Japanese scrims, round lanterns and glazed tile eaves.

The tatami, Japanese low tables and kimono-clad waiters in the store are filled with a strong historical atmosphere and traditional Japanese style.

The store sign at the front of the door reads "Iwate Main Store was founded in the 40th year of Meiji".

It's a branch of an authentic century-old shop...

In the store, except for Yutaro Kotori, who was absent from returning to the car and tending to the shrine, the other six people were sitting neatly around the rectangular tatami table.

The table is already filled with a wide variety of snacks with exquisite appearance.

Tuna, salmon sashimi, Japanese miso pickled radish, salmon roe, shiitake radish puree, dried meat, miso soup, fruit pudding...

"Sousuke, are you ready? Once the war begins, there is no turning back!"

Dongye Xingping lowered his brows and eyes, showing a wolf-like provocative look.

"Hmph, the package fee has been paid, of course, the firepower is full."

Sousuke Araki, who was sitting across from him, looked at him with sharp eyes and without hesitation.

"Cough, according to the usual practice, I will still act as the arbitration for this duel..."

Before the second, Ryoma clenched his fist and coughed lightly, and his face was heavy.

"This time? It's still the same? Could it be that such a frequent confrontation is an important part of Araki-sensei's daily practice? I must record the details in a while..."

Sitting beside Sosuke Araki, Yumayumi Tori took out a notebook from nowhere, and began to write carefully.

"I really miss it, it's actually this store... It's been a long time..."

Siena, who was close to the petite waitress even sitting on the tatami, sighed while looking around the interior of the store.

"Has Uncle Siena been here?"

Sitting beside him, Mochizuki Lingnai, who looked petite and cute like a doll, asked curiously.

"More than 20 years ago, I happened to have a meal with Yueying-jun once."

As if recalling something pleasant, Siena was also interested, and a pair of **** hands like a fan gently pressed on the table: "Hey, two little brothers, why don't I join in..."

"Oh? We're putting our lives at risk. Are you sure you want to participate?"

"The loser has to pay the bill for the entire table tonight? We don't want to bully foreign friends..."

Higashino Yukipei and Araki Sousuke, who were "looking at each other with passion", turned their heads abruptly to look at him, their eyes glowing like a wolf.

"Hey, although I don't have any other skills, when it comes to this kind of 'war', I have never lost to anyone... Back when I was trapped under the sand cave by the 'Jihad Army' for half a month, I put the following The scorpions, snakes, and mice were all eaten."

Siena, who grinned and showed white teeth, exuded the savage atmosphere of a cheetah in the African savannah.

The atmosphere on the table, for a time, was as heavy and quiet as before the storm.

The trio that was originally spreading the smell of crime, plus this sturdy, tall black priest, and the two "innocent girls who were coerced" next to them...

Immediately, the image of this table was upgraded from a "local gangster trio" to an "international human trafficking group disguised as religion".

Since the group entered the store, the speed of dining and checkout for the guests in the store has skyrocketed.

Occasionally, there are guests who open the door and are directly persuaded by this strange atmosphere.

"Sousuke, Yukihira, can we start, mother-in-law, my hands are sore?"

I don't know when the old lady waiter who was waiting by the side with a tray seemed to know the three of them very well, and asked impatiently.

"Hey, is the real protagonist finally appearing?"

The pile of exquisite "coquettish bitches" on the table is not the "protagonist" of today's meal.

This "Dongjia Soba" originated in Iwate. The most famous food is not ordinary soba, but "Wanzi Soba".

It was the large stack of densely packed red small bowls in the tray in the old woman's hand.

The bowl is the dialect of the wooden bowl.

In the Morioka area, it is customary to serve guests with soba noodles.

The origin of the small bowl of soba noodles is to serve freshly cooked noodles to many people at one time, so a small amount of soba noodles is placed in a small bowl and served to the guests little by little until the guests are full.

When the guests eat noodles, they will compete with each other for the number of bowls eaten. The waiter will also pour the noodles in the small bowl into the guest bowl while shouting "Hayi, duo" until the guest uses the lid to cover himself/herself. Cover the bowl to show that you are full.

Of course, in the middle of eating, guests will also enjoy some side dishes and miso soup with noodles.

Over time, this custom has spread from the local area to all parts of Japan.

In many places, during the solar term and the New Year, a bowl of soba noodles contest is held to see who can eat more bowls within the specified time.

The bowl of soba noodles is one of the "reserved items" for the food showdown between Sosuke Araki and Yukihira Higashino.

Today, the war between the two has ushered in a powerful intruder: Father Siena, who has returned from the barren Middle East and claims to have not eaten a full meal in ten years.

"Tiny dad Tie'an folks, how are you? I'm the host of justice, Ryoma before the second... Without further ado, let me announce that the 21st Bowl of Soba Noodle War... is on!"

Along with Ryoma's exaggerated rap declaration like a nightclub DJ, Yukihira Higashino, who was sitting at the table, picked up his chopsticks with a knife and cut his belly, and used lightning-like hand speed to run a bite of soba noodles along the wall of the bowl. He rushed into his mouth, chewed it violently, and swallowed it quickly.

The whole action is smooth and smooth, and it takes no more than one second.

"Wow oh oh, our 'Hungry Dog Higashino' player seems to be full of momentum. As soon as he came up today, he took the lead and won the top prize with his hand speed surpassing Kato-sensei..."

Sousuke Araki, who was sitting opposite him, followed closely behind, picking up his chopsticks and inhaling the soba noodles in his bowl, swallowing it without chewing.

"YOOOOOO...'Hungry Ghost's Stick' Sousuke Araki is determined to win today. He even used the secret combination of 'Storm inhalation' + 'Refuse to chew' from the very beginning! Is there a beautiful woman or a strong challenge? What's the reason for the intruder?"

Sousuke Araki's perverted way of eating immediately aroused the admiration of Ryoma's tongue before the second.

"Hay, Duo."

The old woman who was waiting on the side, with a hand speed that did not match her age, poured the noodles in the small bowl with lightning speed at the moment when the two swallowed the noodles and took the bowl away from their mouths. in two bowls.

It gives the impression that the noodles in the bowl have never been eaten.

"Appeared, the stunt of the mother-in-law Feather, it is too late to turn the lid, and it is impossible to say no, 'the speed of light deceives the face'!!"

"Hmph, young people are really aggressive... But sometimes they rush too fast, and they may fall to the ground hard..."

Siena on the side did not race against time like the two of them, but slowly swallowed the noodles, closing his eyes seriously and savoring the thrill of the salty and fresh soba noodles breaking in his mouth.

"Oh, our new challenger '20 centimeters per second' finally has some action! He didn't use any special skills, but instead, he ate soba noodles with a face full of victory. Could this be the legendary return to basics? ?"

"Hey, Mako-chan... It's so boring to eat with these rude people... Wow, so fresh..."

Looking at the "passionate" game in front of him, Mochizuki Lingnai shoved a piece of salmon thorn into his mouth with disdain, and immediately showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Is the secret technique 'storm inhalation' + 'refusal to swallow'? Maybe this contains the secret to becoming a Buddha?"

The little bird Yumayumi on the side was taking notes with sweat on his head, watching the intense competition scene seriously, and had no time to enjoy the food on the table.

"Hay, Duo."

With the rhythmic slogan of "one pair of three" and the action of adding noodles with afterimages, the small red wooden bowls piled up in front of the three began to increase rapidly.

Yukihira Higashino, who started first, has always maintained a leading position with his wild chewing and high-speed movements.

And Sosuke Araki also used his unique inhalation method to bite behind him.

"Well...'Hungry Dog Dongye' player took the lead in breaking through the 50-bowl mark. It seems, are you ready to break through to the end in one breath today?"

Before "Host" 2, Ryoma did not forget his passionate explanation while enjoying the food.

"'Hungry Ghost's Stick' Araki Sosuke followed with two secret skills, and also broke through the 50 bowl mark... Unfathomable, unfathomable, the new challenger' 20 centimeters per second' is just the most simple The noodle-eating method, I was chasing after me in a hurry!!”

Siena maintained the seemingly ordinary way of eating, as if slowly and quickly eliminating the constantly "refreshed" soba noodles in the bowl, and even broke through the 50 bowl mark after the two of them.

"It was so intense at the beginning...According to the practice of previous games, the game after 100 bowls has just begun, please look forward to it."

Siena's thoughts began to drift as he looked at the two teenagers smoking soba noodles at high speed in front of him.

"Hey, don't eat a few hundred bowls, and call yourself a spirit remover."

The scene in front of him began to overlap with a memory that had been dormant for more than 20 years.

...

Twenty years ago.

"Hay, Duo."

"Kino-san... We're just here to do a folk survey... Is it really necessary to challenge 200 bowls of soba... Ah, thank you."

A young man with black-rimmed glasses and messy long hair asked with a bitter face and soba noodles in his mouth.

In the face of the noodles being poured into the bowl quickly by the waiter next to him and the life-threatening slogan, he also kept nodding and thanking him very well, and was mechanically forced to eat the "continuously refreshed" soba noodles in the bowl.

"Heh heh, little brother Qingren, you don't eat a few hundred bowls, and you call yourself a spirit slayer. You can kill him with the tofu you donate, right Siena?"

Sitting across from the young man was a blond, blue-eyed and energetic girl whose whole body radiated light wherever she went.

She is quickly stuffing soba noodles into her mouth, enjoying this traditional Japanese food with a bulging face.

The petite chest did not tremble at all from the quick movements.

"Hey, that's natural, if you don't have enough food, where do you have the strength to do an investigation?"

The black boy wearing a priest's robe and a cross hanging on his chest shoved soba noodles into his mouth with a heroic attitude and without falling behind.

"Hey, you are the spirit removers, okay? I'm just an ordinary folklorist entrusted to assist you..."

"Hay, Duo."

"...Ah, thank you...why do I have to let people feed me here all the time!!!"

The boy who was ignored by the two could only honestly, respectfully and laboriously continue to **** the noodles that the waitress poured into his bowl, and there was no chance at all to pick up the lid next to him and put it on the bowl.

"Hay, Duo."

...

"Hay, Duo."

"'Hungry Dog Dongye' is like a rainbow... Look at this trembling hand speed, who can stop it... Wait, it seems..."

"Cough cough cough..."

After eating the 151st bowl at a high speed, Yukihira Higashino, who was smooth, moved his throat slightly, as if he was choked by the noodles.

"Oh, something bad happened, 'Hungry Dog Dongye' seemed to have an accident and was choked on his face? This is a big blow to his original aura..."

Yukihira Higashino hesitated for a moment, took a small sip of the miso soup on the side, and then continued to eat noodles.

"Fortunately, he chose to drink miso soup to solve the problem with great experience, and then he regained his rhythm... However, too much miso soup will make the noodles absorb water in the stomach and swell, which will affect the players' performance on the day. The food limit... The 'Hungry Dog Higashino' who drank miso soup at the beginning of the competition, how far he can go today, let's wait and see!"

"Hay, Duo."

Just as Higashino Yukihira was drinking the soup, the little red bowl stacked in front of Sosuke Araki was already as tall as his.

"Hey, with the help of two secret skills, the 'Hungry Ghost's Stick', which has been secretly speeding up, took this opportunity to overtake a corner. It seems that it is still unknown who will die in today's game..."

"Hay, Duo."

With the slogan of the mother-in-law Ludou, and the speed of adding noodles to serve three strong men at the same time, the red wooden bowls in front of the three were constantly stacked.

"Cough cough cough..."

Higashino Yukihira coughed again with soba noodles in his mouth.

As Ryoma said before the second ~lightnovelpub.net~ Since the first choking, his speed has gradually slowed down, and he has also been relieved by drinking miso soup in the middle.

Naturally, he reached out again and took the miso soup bowl beside him and put it to his mouth.

"Oops……"

Immediately, his forehead sweated, showing a pale face...

"How could that be?! I clearly calculated the remaining amount of miso soup carefully, and used the lubrication of every bite accurately and fully..."

The bowl of miso soup in his hand was supposed to have more than half left, but it was empty at some point.

"Wow oh oh oh, 'Hungry Dog Higashino', who just passed the 200 bowl mark, seems to have encountered the worst situation... The miso soup has run out!!!!"

Suddenly, Higashino Kopei suddenly realized, and looked at Sousuke Araki, who was on the opposite side, with resentment: "You despicable fellow... When did you do it..."
