243 【Extra】Tsubaki Soba War (II)

“…… Although the miso soup can be added after drinking, you need to ask another waiter to come and help, so you waste a lot of time and you will be sentenced to ......."

"Let's go back a minute and see what happened to that bowl of miso soup?"

The moderator replayed the non-existent footage a minute earlier.

I saw Sosuke Araki, who was originally devouring noodles in a storm, secretly reached out from below to take the miso soup in Higashino Kohei's hand in an extremely natural posture, and drank it with an action that people didn't have time to notice.

"I see, so it is, it is worthy of the 'Hungry Devil's Stick' who maintains a winning streak, and unknowingly, he used the secret technique [Drink other people's soup so that others have no soup to drink]......"

"Hmph, war, it is cruel and merciless, there is no such thing as despicable or despicable......"

Sousuke Araki responded with a sinister smile to the grim look from his opponent.

"In that case, I'm going to drink your ...... too"

Higashino Kohei raised his eyes and looked around, as if he was about to take the bowl of miso soup that belonged to Sosuke Araki.

Immediately, his expression became desperate and empty, and he pointed at Sosuke Araki tremblingly: "You really have planned all this a long time ago...... Besides, are you cruel to yourself to this point......"

"A despicable dog who is only worthy of lying on the ground, he actually wants to rush to the sky where the king soars, don't be presumptuous, miscellaneous cultivators! From the beginning, I didn't order miso soup at all......"

Sousuke Araki turned his head away as arrogantly as an emperor, and continued to eat the noodles in the bowl, never looking at Higashino Kohei again.

"Poof......

Kohei Higashino, who was sitting across from him, could no longer resist the attack of the soba noodles with these words, and sprayed the noodles in his mouth back into the bowl......

The loser is not qualified to be gazed at by the king.

“…… Higashino, who was drunk up of miso soup by the 'Hungry Devil's Stick', was fouled and lost because he spit the noodles back into the bowl! What a shame...... In this case, the winner of this competition will be...... Wait a minute...... What did I see and what exactly happened? ”

Host two: Ryoma seems to have seen something incredible before.

"What did I miss, when did the '20 centimeters per second' catch up...... Can you catch up to this level just by relying on the gap between the two of them drinking soup? ”

Siena, who was sitting in the corner, eating soba noodles unhurriedly, and the red bowls piled up in front of him, silently, were already as much as Sousuke Araki.

Only Kotori Yuma and Mochizuki Ayano knew that at the moment when Higashino Kohei broke through the 200 bowls before, a golden spiritual power wrapped around Siena.

"Is this the Holy See's Holy Light Technique?"

The little bird Yumagong looked curiously at the faint golden light on Siena's body.

Holy Light is the general term for the magic of the Holy See.

Powered by spiritual power, depending on the user's cultivation direction, beliefs, and talents, the Holy Light can evolve into a variety of uses.

Of course, the most common types are blessings, baptisms, and healings.

"Uncle Siena's Holy Light Technique, the use is a bit special...... Let's just think it's flesh strengthening...... It seems that he is starting to get serious too. ”

Mochizuki Ayano leaned into her ear and whispered.

The black-robed priest wrapped in holy light ate the soba noodles in his bowl unhurriedly and as if he had no bottom pit, taking advantage of the time difference between Sosuke Araki and Kohei Higashino drinking soup and playing tricks, and secretly tied the number of bowls.

It seems that his Holy Light Technique can greatly strengthen the entire body, including the digestive organs.

"Yo, the challenger this time is quite strong, and the 'Hungry Devil's Stick' has met an opponent! The limit of a normal adult man is about 250 bowls, and the two who are about to break through the critical point will face what kind of anxious battle situation they will face? ”

"Hello, Dota."

With the slogan of Granny Yudou and the storm that the two do not give in to each other, the "hill" of red bowls is more and more spectacular.

"Breakthrough, the two broke through 250 bowls at the same time, and after that, it's the world of perseverance!"

"Hmph, you're really strong and perverted, '20 centimeters per second'......"

Inhaling the soba noodles, Sousuke Araki said with a look of ease.

"Please don't give someone such an unclear nickname."

Mochizuki Ayano on the side complained.

Obviously, you are even more perverted with the Holy Light Technique of the hard anus of the flesh.

"I'll admit it, I underestimated you before, so I would deal with that guy Kohei first...... Dreaming high and aiming for domination, this enthusiasm is indeed commendable. But do you understand, soldiers? The so-called dream will one day wake up. ”

Speaking lines of unknown meaning, the momentum of Sosuke Araki's whole body changed.

I saw that he suddenly slapped his chopsticks on the table, took the bowl of the little bird Yu Zhengong on the side, and put it in front of him.

Granny Yudou on the side began to pour soba noodles into the two bowls in front of him at the same time.

"Mr. Araki-sensei......"

The bowl he had used was suddenly snatched away, and the face of the little bird Yu Zhengong suddenly turned red.

"The 'Hungry Devil's Stick' seems to be ready to crush the opponent with a single blow, and actually eats noodles in two bowls at the same time? It seems that he really retained his strength before......"

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Sosuke Araki's tongue quickly stretched out and licked, and he actually ate the soba noodles in two bowls at the same time.

"Trembling ......"

The scariest thing is that he didn't use chopsticks.

"No, it's not just two bowls at the same time! It's terrifying that after the 'Hungry Devil's Stick' discarded the chopsticks, it was able to suck in the ball of noodles in the bowl with only the strong suction of the lips and the flexible high-speed provocation of the tip of the tongue...... Even the soup inside the noodles couldn't escape his Dyson-like suction...... Who can withstand such a terrible ventriloquist? ”

At the same time, "Defeated Dog" Higashino Kohei was also stunned by the scene in front of him.

"This guy, when did he become so strong...... Is this the highest level of the legendary chopsticks method, without chopsticks in your hands and chopsticks in your heart? ”

When everyone was surprised by Sousuke Araki's astonishing move, Siena on the opposite side was not affected by the sudden acceleration of his opponent, and was still unhurried and enjoying the noodles in his bowl.

"With the help of the Mystery [True Empty Suction] and [Double Dragon Exploration], the 'Hungry Ghost's Stick' has taken the lead in breaking through 300 bowls and has come to an unknown territory! It seems that his opponent tonight is only himself......"

After coming to 300 bowls, Sousuke Araki's speed stagnated slightly, and a bloating feeling hit his stomach.

He then showed a lonely smile.

"Is that the price of rushing to get rid of the defeated dog?"

The large amount of miso soup that Higashino had forced to drink in order to solve the problem was already fermenting in his stomach at the moment, and the dough he ate became more swollen and constantly encroached on the little stomach space he had left.

"Just when the 'Hungry Devil's Stick' slowed down for some reason, the '20 centimeters per second' player also broke through the 300 bowl mark, maintaining the same devouring rhythm as at the beginning, and trying his best to close the gap, this is like a chocolate ball, the strength of the heavy sword without a blade, and the strength of the big skill, it's terrible!"

"Bastard, Sousuke, you defeated the man who came here after me, you can't lose to someone else!!"

Higashino Kohei on the side also let out an unwilling cry.

"Hey, I've finally arrived here, how can I stop so easily...... My stomach, squeeze out a little more space......"

Sousuke Araki picked up the bowl tremblingly, held it with willpower, and began to smoke soba again.

As his momentum condensed and his face returned to calm, the whole person entered a mysterious realm.

It didn't seem to be as fast as before, but it was very rhythmic and methodical and quickly eliminated the soba noodles in the two bowls.

"Oh, hehehe, it's been a long time since the old body has seen the realm of 'clear face and heart'...... Just let me see where your limits are......"

Seeing the mysterious aura on his body, Granny Yudou, who was originally calm and relaxed next to him, also changed her face slightly, and sped up the action of feeding the two of them at the same time.

"Hey, this kid, there are two hits, I thought that was the end of it...... As a soul slayer, if I lose to you here, what kind of face will I have to go to heaven to see Sister Chino in the future? ”

Feeling Sosuke Araki's strong fighting spirit, Siena, who had always been unhurried, accelerated the movement at hand for the first time.

An even richer light surged toward his stomach within him, concentrating on improving his ability to move.

"Oh, it seems that in response to the fighting spirit of the 'Hungry Devil's Stick', the '20 Centimeters per Second' contestant has increased his speed for the first time......"

"This guy has forced Uncle Siena to this point...... But why, I think the most terrifying thing is Granny Yudou......"

Looking at the two people who were speeding up wildly, and her face never changed, and she maintained a precise and high-speed rhythm of adding noodles calmly, Mochizuki Ayano left a drop of sweat on her forehead.

Is this the legendary spirit of Japanese craftsmen?

"Both of them broke through four hundred and fifty bowls!! Is this really something that humans can do? Are you sure you don't call an ambulance to induce vomiting? ”

As the empty wooden bowls continued to be stacked, Sosuke Araki led Siena by a subtle margin, breaking the 450-bowl mark one after the other.

Sousuke Araki's movements slowed down significantly, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead became more and more.

He didn't dare to swallow the noodles without chewing like before, and with less room in his stomach, the chewed noodles would give him more opportunities.

Siena, which is followed by it, is logically more comfortable in terms of digestion efficiency and stomach space.

But looking at his expression, he lost the leisurely he had at the beginning, and it seemed that he was almost at the limit.

Is it the reason for the excessive consumption of spiritual power in the body?

"Oh...... Break through 500 bowls! Both players stopped at the same time...... Is this the end of it? ”

By the 500th bowl, both of them had noticeably stagnated their movements.

"Bastard, Araki...... Cheer me up, what's the deal with losing to a foreigner on such a traditional project? ”

"Ahem...... No way...... To give...... Swallow it for me!! ”

Sosuke Araki's forehead exploded and he tried to forcibly swallow the noodles in his mouth.

"Mr. Araki...... Don't force it, if you eat it with a bad stomach, you'll be in trouble......"

Kotori Yumako looked worriedly at Sosuke Araki beside him, and subconsciously pulled his cuffs.

At this moment, the two of them, completely relying on willpower, both devoured the soba noodles in the bowl in a rather slow way.

was pulled by her like this, and the state of "clear face" was broken, and the balance of victory began to tilt.

"Ahem, ahem...... Burst...... I...... No...... No more. ”

As the noodles erupted from Sousuke Araki's nostrils, he quickly put the lid on his bowl, stopping Granny Habean's refill, and he fell to the ground in surrender first.

"Hey...... Actually, I can't eat ...... either."

Seeing Sosuke Araki admit defeat with "spray noodles", Siena, who had only eaten one bowl more than him, also quickly covered the bowl in his hand.

"What a great game!! Then I declare that the winner of the bowl by one bowl is the '20 centimeters per second' Mr. Siena, who devoured a full 521 bowls! ”

The onlookers also applauded.

"So, here's the problem......"

Seeing that this boring game finally came to an end, Mochizuki Ling Nai sighed: "Who is responsible for eating the bunch of side dishes left on this table?" ”

The large pile of delicate food left on the table, she and the little bird Yuma plus the two before Ryoma, are absolutely impossible to destroy.

"I'm sorry, spare me, if I eat again, I'll really go to the hospital......"

"Boss, please pack ......"

After a while, Granny Yudou and a male clerk walked over calmly.

In addition to a bunch of packing boxes, the two brought a few souvenirs.

"It's ...... Tie the knot? Do we have any noodles that we don't eat? ”

The little bird Yu Zhengong looked at the small and cute knots in his hand, and asked curiously.

"It's a specialty of Iwate, and it's not a valuable thing, but it's said to be very effective...... Anyway, these three guys together have eaten several times as many as ordinary people, so I'll give you one for each of you. ”

Granny Yudou said indifferently.

In Japanese, "knot" is a homophone with the god of the spirit, and the god of the spirit is one of the three gods of creation in Japan.

Therefore, knots are seen as the work of God, symbolizing the bonding of spirit and body, the connection between people, and the flow of time.

"Oh? Have you added this souvenir recently......"

"Waste...... Mr. Araki! ”

Just as Sosuke Araki was clutching his stomach and looking curiously at the knot in his hand, Yuma Kotori whispered to him with a flushed face, and respectfully handed over the knot in his hand with both hands.

“…… I...... I prefer the color of the one you have...... Hemp...... Please exchange with me for trouble! ”

This sentence seemed to use all the strength of the little bird Yumaku, and by the time she finished speaking, her entire head had been buried in her chest.

"Hmm, you like green, but I don't like this color very much...... Then I'll swap ...... with you."

With that, Sosuke Araki replaced the green knot in his hand with the other party's red knot.

"Thank you...... Thank you, I'll be sure to keep it safe! ”

Tie the knot that Sosuke Araki handed over to him at the end of his hair, and Yumakoto Tori smiled secretly.

"Come on...... This is a certificate for the three of you, congratulations to the second and third players in the history of the Yokohama store...... One, two, three, eggplant! ”

Several people gathered around the three weak-looking "players" holding "520", "521" and "151" respectively, and with the help of the waiter, they took a group photo.

As the second and third in history, this photo will naturally be hung prominently in the store.

"Is 521 bowl only the second place, so what is the first place ......?"

Seeing the clerk stepping on the ladder and pasting the group photo to the upper left corner of the photo wall, Mochizuki Lingno looked over there curiously.

"First place, I remember being an energetic foreign girl...... Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, right? ”

Granny Yudou, who was standing on the side, looked at Siena with some embarrassment.

Mochizuki Lingnai's eyes, following the clerk's movements, stayed on the photo on the far left.

"This ...... It's ......"

Seeing the person in the photo, she covered her mouth in some surprise.

Large crystal tears slid down her cheeks from her heterochromatic eyes.

"Well, indeed, it's been twenty years...... I've been trying to get stronger, but in every sense of the word, I've not been able to catch up with my eldest sister. ”

Looking at the photo in the upper left corner, Siena smiled wistfully, then glanced thoughtfully at Sosuke Araki, who was standing in the doorway.

In the middle of the yellowed photo is a youthful and energetic blonde girl.

She grinned brightly, and her hands strangled the two pale, pained teenagers with both hands, one left and one right.

On the left and right are a black boy who can only see the whites of his eyes and teeth, and a Japanese boy with messy hair and black-rimmed glasses.

The "Certificate" in the hands of the three people reads "310", "570" and "75" from left to right.
