Onijinbang Ramen Ikebukuro shop.

On the front of the ramen shop, there is a huge relief of evil spirits, and on the walls on both sides, graffiti of various evil spirits are painted.

The all-black decoration style, combined with the golden characters of "ghost gold stick" on the signboard, makes the whole ramen shop look like ghosts and gods are descending.

Above the bar in the store, there are also decorations such as colorful ghost heads and golden mace.

A waiter brought two huge bowls of ramen to Sosuke Araki and Yukio Higashino.

"This is the 'Spicy Devil' Miso Ramen from two points. Please eat it carefully according to your own situation, and don't force it to finish it."

After the waiter said hello, he looked at the two with the eyes of a martyr, then turned and left.

The ghost gold stick ramen shop where the two of them are today has always been famous in Ikebukuro for its hot and delicious miso ramen and weird decoration style. It can be said that there are long queues from morning to night.

"Hey, look at this 5cm-thick, jelly-like barbecued pork, it's not polite at all..."

Sousuke Araki used chopsticks to pick up the thick pork char siu that was bigger than a palm on top of the ramen, and he was amazed.

"The people who just cleaned up the bliss club and swaggered in line for an hour on someone else's site, just to eat this ramen. Only you can do this kind of thing..."

Higashino Yukihira glanced at the crimson soup in the ramen bowl, and a drop of sweat fell on his forehead.

Just now, the two of them came to line up just before the meal time, and they waited in line for more than an hour.

The queuing culture in Japan is world-famous, and long queues can be seen in most places.

In addition to the dense population, accustomed to queuing, and the length of the queue to measure the reputation of the store, the "Japan Minor Crime Law" stipulates that "gaping" in line in public places will be punished by a fine of less than 1 million yen or even detained for 24 hours.

Therefore, although the two of them looked brutal, they looked like "Ji Dao brothers", so they could only stand in the team and bask in the sun.

"Stop talking nonsense, you know the rules, I'm maintaining a winning streak now..."

Looking at the bowl of ramen with a strong spicy taste in front of him, Sosuke Araki said sternly.

"Humph, do you think I'm still the same person I was back then? Just when you were playing games, working, flying planes, and shooters, I was cultivating seriously..."

Hearing his words, Higashino Yukihira also put away his condescending expression, his eyes were full of killing intent, and his face was full of fighting intent.

The fiery sparks produced by the eye contact, as if two swordsmen were about to have a life-and-death confrontation.

"The one who eats and drinks first pays the bill!"

The two held the chopsticks horizontally in front of them, clasped their hands together, finished the sentence in unison, and launched an attack on the ramen in front of them.

The extreme spicy showdown is on.

Finding a restaurant famous for its spicy food for a duel is a war that has lasted more than ten years between the two.

The soup head of Guijinbang Ramen is a mixed soup base of poultry and seafood, and then stir-fried with miso and spices. After this process, the soup retains the original deliciousness of various foods, while the overall taste is mild and mellow.

Unlike other branches that use pork bones and chicken to make soup, this restaurant in Ikebukuro uses only pork bones to make soup, so here you can feel the mellowness of pork bones in the soup more strongly.

The noodles in the store are also very unique. Generally speaking, noodles of the same thickness are used in the cooking process of ramen, but this store uses three kinds of noodles with different thicknesses mixed together, so that customers can taste the difference in every bite. Degree of bouncy mouthfeel.

After the thick char siew on the noodles is boiled in the soup base and marinated in the sauce, the freshness and sweetness of the sauce completely penetrates into it, and the taste is soft and sweet, which can be called the essence of the whole bowl of ramen.

Interestingly, a fried "tender corn" is also placed on top of the ramen to represent the "golden stick" in the hands of the devil.

The most important thing is that this is a ramen shop that is famous for its "spicy". The ramen noodles are divided into five types of spiciness and numbness, and the peppers used are also varied.

What the two of them challenged at the moment was "Spicy Devil", which is known as the hottest ramen in Japan, using the world's second hottest pepper "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

After just taking a sip of the soup, Higashino Yukihira's face was as red as if it were on fire.

And Sousuke Araki's tactic is to first finish the noodles and meat in the bowl, and then quickly drink up the soup in the bowl in a way of sending death.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is skinny.

After eating the food in the bowl, the two of them lost their courage while sticking out their tongues while looking at the deep red soup base.

The rule of winning is that the person who "eats later" or "drinks water first" treats guests.

If neither of them has the courage to finish their meal, then it will only be up to whoever can't bear to drink water first.

As we all know, spicy is not a taste, but a pain.

And people who like spicy food have the potential to shake M in their bones.

At this moment, Sosuke Araki and Yukihira Higashino were shaking their M, their faces flushed and their big eyes staring, pained and happy.

"Well, if you can't hold it any longer, let's go out and buy milk..."

Higashino Yukihira stuck out his tongue like a dog and persuaded him to surrender.

"Sorry..." Sousuke Araki raised his head with sweat on his forehead, UU reading www.uukanshu. The lights in the com store shone on his face, and his eyes could not see clearly in the shadows.

Trembling, he took out his wallet in his trouser pocket.

"Oh? Can't help but admit defeat and pay the bill at last?"

Seeing his actions, Higashino Kohei's eyes moved slightly, as if he saw the scale of victory tilting toward him.

Sousuke Araki spread out his wallet, revealing the empty inside of the wallet to the other party.

"Sorry... I invested all of my money in the Pachinko shop just now. Although I ripped off the point card from the machine when I was running away, it is estimated that it was frozen by those guys now... The bottle just now in the parking lot. Water is my last possession... I have already, there is no way to go back..."

After saying this, Sousuke Araki picked up the bowl in front of him, raised his head with enlightened eyes, and gulps down the thick and dark red soup...

How can the spicy tongue in front of you and the blooming chrysanthemums be compared with the despair of poverty.

"Damn, no wonder I asked me to advance money to buy meal coupons on the machine when I entered the door... You're ruthless, I'll leave the hospital after you, and I'll let you go."

Higashino Yukihira ran out of the store and went to the vending machine to buy milk.

The spiciness he suffered was no longer something that ordinary water could handle.

"Earth-booming stars (thank you for your hospitality), poverty makes me strong."

After drinking the soup, Sousuke Araki stuck his tongue out and put his hands together.

Then he got up and walked out tremblingly under the awe-inspiring eyes of the surrounding guests and ramen chefs.

After coming out of the ghost gold stick, the duo drank five bottles of milk in a row, and they barely felt the presence of the tongue again.

Then, seeing that it was almost time, the two walked slowly towards the agreed interview location.
