Inside a ramen restaurant in a shopping street.

"Three good."

The chef, wearing a white hat and a white apron, bowed slightly to the trio.

"Hello, do you have any recommendations?"

Miyuki Sawanari stared at the menu above her head, a little dazzled, and simply gave up her choice.

"Huh." The chef smiled, his eyes narrowed, "We have an event in our store, do you want to participate?" ”

"Tell me?" Takuya Aramura has an attitude of giving everything interesting to encounter while traveling.

"That's right, it's been 26 years since our store opened in Showa 63," the chef began to talk about the history of his restaurant in front of the camera, hoping to advertise his restaurant through the show.

As everyone knows, the program team will cut out some unnecessary things when editing, including some promotional behaviors that do not sponsor the program.

“… The purpose of our restaurant is to make every bowl of ramen so that customers can feel at ease and satisfied! ”

The chef finally finished his ambitious speech and began to introduce the activities of the restaurant to the three of them: "Our event is the Hiroshima No. 1 Spicy Challenge!" Wait a minute, I'll make a bowl of kinky and spicy ramen for each of the three of us, and if any of them can be eaten, then our restaurant will be free forever! ”

"How? Do you want to participate? ”

The chef crossed his fingers against his chin, the corners of his mouth were outlined in a faint arc, and his eyes seemed to slide through a strange light.

"If the challenge is successful, I will crown you king! If you fail, please leave a picture of yourself and I will stick it on the pillar of shame! ”

The chef pointed to a large board behind him, plastered with pictures of those who had failed the challenge.

Takuya Aramura rubbed his eyebrows.

Is the second disease the national personality of the Japanese? It's just an ordinary spicy challenge, why do you make it look like you're going to do something thrilling?

As for whether to accept the challenge, since the program team chose this store, everything is self-evident.

"Okay, Chef-san, the three of us accept your challenge! Rest assured! We're going to beat you, and we're going to have you crowned us!" "Miyuki Sawanari is now like an old general on the stage, with flags on her back.

The chef clasped his hands and said haughtily, "Very well, I accept your challenge!" ”

"Hahahaha! Please be prepared to be defeated by my ramen emperor! The chef laughed pompously and began to make ramen.

He took out three large bowls, then took out three balls of ramen from a bamboo basket, put the noodles into the bowls, added a piece of fat and thin meat to each of the three bowls, sprinkled with chopped bonito, shredded kelp, poured broth, and finally drizzled with a large spoonful of red and blackened hot sauce.

"Hiroshima's No. 1 spicy tonkotsu soup ramen!" The chef pushed the noodles in front of the three of them, "Enjoy!" ”

Takuya Aramura looked down and saw that the milky white dashi was infected by the dark red hot sauce, like clear water blackened by ink, and its original color was barely visible.

Takuya Aramura picked up chopsticks, picked up a ramen and sniffed it under his nose, it was so spicy that he choked his nose, and the salty and fresh taste of the noodle soup had been completely covered by the pure spiciness.

He suspected that it was industrial capsaicin, not that he was suspicious, but that he had a lot of spicy challenges in his previous life, and in order to prevent the challenger from succeeding, he would secretly add industrial capsaicin to food, which is not uncommon.

Turning his head, Miyuki Sawanari and Rino Tanaka had already begun to eat.

"Hah-so spicy, so spicy-"

"Hmm, senior, help me get a glass of water..."

Takushi Aramura didn't move his chopsticks, he didn't want to eat his stomach bad for a show, he hadn't been dedicated to this extent.

"This little brother, why don't you eat it?" The cook looked at him suspiciously.

"I abstain." Takuya Aramura shook his head, and said to Rino Tanaka and Miyuki Sawanari, "You'd better not eat it either." ”

As if they couldn't hear, they still shouted and put noodles into their mouths.

"Huh? Abstained before you started? ”

"Hmm."

"Why don't you try? The reward is free forever! No matter what time of year you come, you can eat as much as you want! The chef repeatedly emphasized that the reward was unattractive to Takuya Aramura.

"I'll probably come to Hiroshima once in my life." Takuya Aramura whispered a few words to the female staff who woke him up in the morning next to the video camera.

The other party nodded repeatedly, and then ran out of the store.

"This... It's okay to give a free order to a friend in Hiroshima, so you don't lose anything, right? "The chef is still holding on.

"I don't have any friends in Hiroshima."

The chef finally had no choice but to take Takushi Aramura, and threw a helpless look at the planner.

There's no way to plan, or for Takuya Aramura, no one in the entire YN office has anything to do, after all, it's the baby bump in the hands of Fujiwara Xun, if you force this little ancestor to do something, Fujiwara Xun even dares to kick the president in the face.

Miyuki Sawanari and Rino Tanaka were already numb with spicy expressions, their eyes were a little dull, and they didn't have a mouthful of noodles in the bowl.

"Aramura-san!" The female staff member who had just run out was carrying a convenience bag with several bottles of milk in her hand.

Takuya Aramura nodded, walked over and took the convenience bag in his hand, "Thank you, how much?" I'll pay you. ”

"No, no, no!" The female staff waved her hand excitedly, "It's good to be able to help the deserted village." ”

"Thank you." Takuya Aramura thanked him again, and went back to put the milk in front of Rino Tanaka and Miyuki Sawasawa, "It's useless to drink water, drink this." ”

To put it bluntly, there is a substance called capsaicin that plays a role, and capsaicin cannot be dissolved in water, so drinking water not only does not relieve the spicy feeling, but also puts a burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Milk contains a lot of casein, which is a good emulsifier, which can repair the epithelial mucosal cells of the digestive tract burned by capsaicin, and can also ease the degree of stimulation of sensory nerves.

Rino Tanaka and Miyuki Sawanari have lost their sense of taste so much that they feel like their brains are buzzing, their faces are flushed, and their eyes are full of tears.

"Wild... Aramura-kun, very gentle..."At this time, Miyuki Zesei was still holding the shelf of her senior, "Senior, I... Sure enough, I didn't take care of you in vain..."

"Taku... Takuya... Thank you..."Rino Tanaka is now like a god who has been degraded to the mortal world, and he has lost his previous divine power, and he can't even unscrew the cap of the milk bottle.

"Ahh

has been with Fujiwara Xun for a long time, and Takuya Aramura has gradually lost his precious "benevolence of a doctor".

After the filming was completed, looking at the two people who had no strength because they were so spicy that they could only be helped into the car by the staff, Takuya Aramura also found the planner.

"Planner, I suggest you call someone from the consumer department to come and check, I suspect that this store uses industrial capsaicin."

"Aramura-san." The planner was a little crying and laughing, "We came to investigate before the program was planned, and the food and seasonings in the store are safe, and they will not cause harm to people's bodies." ”

Takuya Aramura was silent for a moment, and his chin raised towards the car Tanaka Rino was in, "Are the voice actors playing so hard?" ”

"That's where it is." The planner said with a smile, "Does Aramura-san know about a show called "Whole Man Award"? That's what it's called ruthless, it just so happens that I'm friends with the planner of this show, do you want to know about his achievements? ”

Takuya Aramura stepped back, wanting to stay away from him, "You don't have to. ”
