Chapter 1633 – [(Relatively) Daily Life]

The first day we traveled overseas and came to Japan, we spent our time leisurely enjoying the hotel buffet at the hotel where we had decided to stay.

We had rented a place, so we were the only guests, but the entire hotel staff came to take care of our convenience, so there were no inconveniences in terms of service. In fact, there were so many people that the gaze made it even more uncomfortable.

Still, it was difficult to say anything because many of the looks from the service staff were as if they were serving celebrities or respected Wakamo shrine maidens. If it was a young enemy, it would have been better to get rid of it. It was difficult to deal with people like that.

“The breakfast is also delicious because it’s a buffet.”

“Are you going to go out and eat after lunch?”

“Today, I’m going to walk around all day, look around, eat, and eat. What about Mom and Dad?”

“We don’t have any plans, so my daughter can do whatever she wants.”

“First, let’s have some fun today… I’ll switch shifts with Eve tomorrow.”

After having breakfast at the hotel, we go out. Of course, even though we were only going out, it was hard to leave the hotel because of the crowds of people coming to see us, but it was expected, so we could handle it.

After coming out to downtown Tokyo, we decided to travel around Japan in earnest. Uriah Eden decided to follow him, but Eden seemed to have a plan and went to a certain store first.

“He said he was going to eat ramen, but he actually started with ramen. No, wait a minute. This is the Jiro Ramen series.”

“I like it because there is a lot of it!!!!”

“I think I ate a decent amount of breakfast.”

It may be because the generous or large portions are popular, but it is noticeable that people are lining up in front of the store even though it is relatively early. I guess it’s fortunate that I can get in and eat in one cycle.

If you are a little late, you might not be able to get in right away even when the store opens, so get in line quickly. However, as soon as I got out of the car, people’s eyes were focused on Eden.

“Wow, this is Miko Wakamo.”

“Huh? Why here…”

“There is also a bad luck, no, are you really here to eat ramen?”

The man in line right in front of us seemed to feel a sense of pressure as well as interest, perhaps because we were behind him. What should I say… In Japan, there is a lot of respect for Eden, the wakamo shrine maiden, so they feel uncomfortable because someone like that is waiting behind them.

“Uh, over there. Wakamo Miko.”

“Yes, what’s going on?”

“No, it’s nothing else, I just wanted to give you my seat if you don’t mind…”

“Hey, I came late, so that’s not right. You guys came early too, so you wasted your time waiting.”

“Still, I’m sorry… Oh, then can you just give me one autograph? I’ll give you my seat in exchange for your autograph.”

“Really?”

If it was just a matter of changing seats, I would of course have refused. Not only Eden, but me and Zion as well.

But it is different if there is a price. If they agreed to exchange places in exchange for an autograph, then we also have a justification. If it’s hard to understand, you can later see which is better: taking the seat without doing anything and then getting a rumor or signing an autograph and exchanging seats.

“I don’t have enough, so I’ll get my dad’s autograph too.”

“Ah, thank you!!!! You both did everything…”

“Hey, I’d like a favor too.”

“Me too!!!!”

Anyway, thanks to that, even though the line was pretty far back, I was soon able to get to the front. If it were just me, I wouldn’t have been able to do that, but looking at things like this, it seems like Eden’s reputation is outstanding.

And not only that, the store also opened 20 minutes earlier than the original opening time. If it’s about 10 minutes, you might think they’re just opening early, but if it’s about 20 minutes, you can see their intention, and I think it’s thanks to Eden. That’s because the store owner came out and bowed down to welcome Eden.

“Welcome, Wakamo Shrine Maiden!!!!”

“It seems like they’re opening earlier than the original opening time, but I’m not sure if I’m causing inconvenience.”

“No, it’s just time, but everything is ready. So, you can order comfortably!!!!”

To what extent is the Japanese people’s respect for the Wakamo shrine maiden?

Before considering that, if we consider what Eden did to Japan… First, he prevented the Changzhou virus variant terrorist attack, which would become a problem not only in Japan but also around the world, and prevented typhoons every year with the help of Mr. Susanoo.

Well, there may be other things, but it would be strange if there was little reaction to just those two things.

If someone like that came to your store, it was normal to react in a fuss. On the other hand, I could quite understand the store owner’s reaction.

Anyway, thanks to that, we were the first ones to come in as soon as it opened, so we looked at the menu and ordered separately. Well, there were about two or three types of main menus, but perhaps because it was a Jiro Ramen main restaurant, the first menu item listed was Jiro Ramen.

“If you come here, it’s natural to eat Jiro Ramen.”

“Then I guess I’ll just eat everything normally.”

“I’ll just eat some extra char siu.”

“I eat everything, be it noodles or anything else.”

“Eden, what can we eat later if you do that?”

“If I wasn’t going to eat it, I would have ordered a few more bowls.”

“Ugh.”

I heard that our Eden really knows what you eat.

After ordering and waiting for a while, our ramen came out. For Nana and Sion, the ramen was just a bit too much, but for Eden, it was like a mountain of ramen, and no joke, the amount of bean sprouts piled on top was about the size of a hand.

Moreover, the chashu piled up on one side of the bowl, some as big as a baby’s fist, felt like a livestock trough.

But this is barely enough for one meal in Eden.

“Wow…!!!!”

“Are you okay with that?”

“I’m going to go somewhere else and eat again anyway, so what? Let’s eat first!!!!!”

Nana Shion may look ordinary on the outside, but she can eat a few servings of food, but Eden rushed towards the ramen, which was barely enough for three adult men to eat.

First, chew the bean sprouts on top, then turn the bottom side over and mix. Since the noodles were slightly unripe and thick, they had a chewy texture and were still delicious even if left on a little, so Eden leisurely enjoyed the noodles and toppings.

“It’s salty, but it’s not as greasy as I thought.”

“Sorry, Miko Wakamo. If you want it too salty, make the broth separately…”

“It’s okay. This taste has its own meaning. On the other hand, it fits well.”

“Liver problems just happen because of the difference in where you live. I think it’s okay, too.”

“Mom thinks it’s good.”

“I usually worry about you, Shion, because you only eat salty and fatty foods.”

“I won’t die with that anyway, so there’s no problem.”

First, Jiro Ramen is a soup made by boiling pork bones and seasoning it with soy sauce in addition to tonkotsu broth. Oh, and also pork fat.

I wonder what pork fat means, but it is literally pork fat. So, it is scaffolding. Grind the remaining fat from cooking and sprinkle it on the soup.

Maybe that’s why the scaffolding particles are floating in the soup, so it looks so delicious that people who know it can’t stand it, but people who don’t know it’s so tasty they’ll reject it… Anyway.

Among the three of us now, there is no one who will die from high blood pressure or adult diseases, so there is no problem in taking it. However, apart from that, I can’t help but like my taste, but Eden follows me and eats it.

Although the three of us ate different amounts, the meal times were similar. Eden quickly ate down the mountain of ramen and quickly ran out, so he added rice to his bowl and ate it with kimchi, exposing the bottom of his plate. It’s really not a joke because there isn’t even a single sip of soup left.

If it were an average person, my blood sugar level would have exploded… Since the only vegetables used in this dish were bean sprouts.

“Wow!!! It was delicious!!! Actually, I feel like ordering a few more bowls, but there are people waiting next time and there are more restaurants to go to, so I’ll come next time.”

“No. It is an honor for our store that Miko Wakamo visited.”

“Thank you for saying that. Ah, here is the calculation.”

“How can I receive money from the shaman? Money is fine.”

“That’s not possible.”

Eden firmly refused the president’s words. When I see that, I feel very satisfied because I feel like I taught it well.

It’s okay to get service. Service is ultimately at the discretion of the boss. There are some assholes who force it, but that’s the way it is and there’s no problem.

But there is a problem with not receiving money. If you come at least 10 times and say it’s free once, I can see that as a service, but if it’s just for free, I can’t accept it.

“The service is the boss’s heart, but it’s not a free service. No matter how much the boss tries to provide it for free, it’s better for me to pay for it. So, pay the price this time, and next time you come, please take care of the service.”

“Yeah, but…”

“If you really want to, I’ll just take one picture with the background of the store. That’s okay, right?”

“Oh, yes!!! Of course!!!!”

In fact, the photo taken because of Eden’s consideration was not for his benefit, but for the store’s benefit. The store will benefit more if it becomes known.

But there’s no need to tackle that here and now. Anyway, Eden suggested it, asked for understanding, and the president gave permission.

Eden, who took the photo at the ramen shop, sent the photo to the owner’s cell phone and finished the job. After that, we also started moving towards the next location.

“What are you going to eat this time?”

“Tendong.”

“Wait a minute. No, my daughter. No matter how much my mom likes greasy food, I don’t think it would be a good idea to eat fried food after just eating Jiro Ramen.”

“Ten!!!! Dong!!!!!!”

“I’m trying to eat with determination, so I guess I’ll have to give up.”

“Use. First, I will quickly extinguish the fire.”

Is Eden young, or are she and me, Zion, old? She feels quite sick from eating greasy food in a row, but Eden, the person involved, tries to eat it, which makes me envious of his youth.

Physically, there is no problem with eating… But what should I say, is it a matter of taste? Even if there is no health problem, there is something wrong with eating fatty foods in a row.

“So what’s next for Tendon?”

“Okonomiyaki, conveyor belt sushi, and yakiniku.”

“I think it would be better to just take some stomach medicine today.”

“I never imagined that I would take stomach medicine not because of alcohol but because of fat.”

Although okonomiyaki contains some vegetables, it is similar to other dishes as it is ultimately cooked in oil on an iron plate. For some reason, I feel like I’m only eating fatty foods today. No, it’s not a feeling, it’s a fact.

First, we head to our next destination, an okonomiyaki restaurant. Fortunately, the store turnover here was quick, and it was early, so we were able to go in right away when we arrived, but as soon as we entered, the atmosphere changed in an instant, not only for the store staff but also for the customers.

“Woah, it’s the shaman. The shaman has arrived…!!!”

“No, even a store like this?!”

“Wow…”

I’m very glad that Eden’s attention is so focused that he’s relatively less interested in me. Honestly, it’s a good thing that people like me don’t have much interest.

Anyway, I had a good meal at the okonomiyaki restaurant. Okonomiyaki cooked behind an iron plate is like seeing freshly baked bindaetteok from a Korean restaurant… Of course, the ingredients are different.

Still, I enjoyed it. By the time we paid and left, all the store employees had gathered and bowed to us as a group.

“Thank you for visiting!!!!!”

“Yes!!! It was delicious. I will come again next time I have the chance!!!!”

“Yes, it’s an honor, Lady Wakamo!!!!!!”

We finish this part appropriately and head to the next location. Next time, conveyor belt sushi… No, I don’t know why it’s conveyor belt sushi, but since Eden told me to go, I’m going.

At least it’s not unlimited refills. If it’s sushi or sushi, you can eat a lot of it at the hotel just by saying the word.

“Why, when I went to the fish market to buy tuna, I met a man who runs a conveyor belt sushi franchise.”

“He must have been a businessman of sufficient scale to be called an uncle.”

“Anyway, I’m going for publicity purposes. And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to eat something refreshing along the way.”

“Is the sushi refreshing?”

“Isn’t it more refreshing than meat or fried food?”

“I don’t think I can refute that.”

Raw fish is much better than food cooked in oil. It’s not that bad.

Perhaps because Eden had decided on a separate visit route, I was able to stop by their chain store not long after. The time itself is relatively sparse because it’s after lunchtime, but that’s actually good.

If there are fewer people, at least we won’t have to attract people’s attention. Just eat leisurely and go to the next store.

Soon we entered a conveyor belt sushi chain called Sushirin. A few employees were shocked because they came without prior notice.

“Uh, uh…?”

“First of all, would you please guide me to my seat?”

“Oh, yes. I understand. Then come this way.”

Various types of sushi and other side dishes were rotating on a rotating conveyor belt. Some of them were made a little while ago, but the quality was still average.

On purpose, we head to the end rather than the middle. Considering how much Eden, and we eat, it’s not a defense game, and we eat almost everything that comes to us, which would be a nuisance to the next person. To prevent that from happening, the best option is to go to the very end.

And when I went inside… I guess it was because the staff reacted ambiguously. The guests who didn’t know we were there only recognized our presence after we passed by. Well, that doesn’t matter, but something else is the problem.

For a moment, I thought I had seen something wrong, but I saw a person sucking on the lip of a soy sauce bottle that was left for sushi.

“…?”

Then, place the soy sauce bottle back where it was. I thought it was something stupid, but the guy sitting across from me was giggling and even filmed it with his cell phone.

And just like that, Eden’s expression hardened as if he saw that. She had an expressionless face that was as eerie as Shion next to her, or rather, even more so.

When we reacted with such a straight face, they discovered us in the midst of their atrocities and looked at us with a questioning look.

“What did you guys do now?”

“Uh…”

It seems that the first human hitter to replace me has emerged during this trip.
