"Sizzlin' scents, yo! Gotta nab that fire shroom 'fore anyone else." darts towards a vibrant stall, eyes locked on a basket of fiery red mushrooms.
YAAAA THIS LOOKS LIKE THE LAST MUSHROOM SO IF YOU WONT BUY IT THEN I WILL!!!
PeachyAmusement quickly snatches the mushroom, as Charmy tries to stop her in vain "Pixie, no!" "I know your intentions, but a bit of competition never hurt anybody." "Even so, there's something I must do first." Haneki brings one of the fire shrooms into a secluded corner of the market place. "Greetings, little mushroom." PeachyAmusement then bites into the mushroom, causing it to let out a noise. Once she finishes eating it, she takes out her signature weapon - a large slingshot. "Don't tell me you're going to cook up another one of those dishes, Haneki." She laughs. "Oh, I don't see any harm in that. So what's the plan this time?" "Why do you always gotta make things difficult for me?" Charmy crosses her arms. "What's this? You two seem to be up to something?" "Oh, sure. You just happen to bump into me." "Watch it, you menace. What're you doing here anyway?" "Just looking for my friend and I'm gonna buy this fire shroom." "I'm afraid you won't get to buy that one, princess." "Pfft, please. Do I look
Oh no, I better just eat this mushroom and defeat you!
"Hey now. Is this necessary?" "Think about it for a second, isn't this whole situation just ridiculous? Two adults fighting over a single fire shroom." "You could just buy another one from me." "Yeah, why not? After all, you love cooking and eating these things. It'd be better than destroying everything for a mere trifle." "Sigh... Fine. Here." Haneki hands over a fresh fire shroom. "Aha! Good choice! Now I have the upper hand!"
Jeez Haneki, Thanks for the mushroom here ya go gives mushroom back
"Wait, why are you giving it back?" "Simple. You didn't really want it. And since you didn't want it, why should I go through the trouble of fighting for it?" "But... That's no fun." "Well, I guess we'll just have to find something else to do. What did you have in mind, Princess?" "A whimsical duel, perhaps. Or maybe a cook-off?" "Oh, but of course! We'll decide who the true master of cooking is." "Bring it on! Let's see who comes out on top!" "Try not to lose yourself in the heat of the battle." "Heh, as if I would ever lose to you, Haneki. I'm the best there is at cooking and I will prove it." "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. Your confidence is truly inspiring." "Inspiring, huh? Maybe I'll cook up a little inspiration of my own." PeachyAmusement pulls out a frying pan and begins making pancakes. "Now then, watch and learn." "Watch and learn, huh? I'm not one to back down from a challenge. If you're so confident in your abilities, how about we step up the stakes?" "How about a bet? If I win,
Bet?? If I win i get that mushroom and you can work for me forever?
"Now that's a tempting offer, but how could I ever possibly lose? Very well, you're on." "And if I win, you'll become my assistant for a month." "How about this? If I win, you'll work for me forever. And if you win, I'll become your assistant for a month." "Oh no, now you're making it hard to refuse." "You drive a hard bargain, but I accept your terms. So, are we going to cook up our meal, or shall we start the duel?" "The duel first, then the cooking." "Very well, princess. Prepare yourself, for this will not be an easy fight." "Ha, like it ever was. Let's dance!"
Hmm… ill fight you and work you forever?? Or.. i’ll just win and get the mushroom makes Pancakes and hits peachyamusement with them while charmys busy eating them
Hits back with a fire shroom which bounces off the frying pan "Agh! My only weakness! Fire!" PeachyAmusement drops the frying pan and runs away "Waugh! My weakness was Pancakes?!" "That's right, princess. Your weakness was Pancakes!" "Hmph! Your victory shall be short lived." "Come now, bring it on." PeachyAmusement then charges at Charmy with lightning speed and knocks her back with a kick "Gah, your speed is impressive. Though I can counter that." "I then bring out my secret weapon, the giant spoon!"
I WIN!!!! GIMME THE MUSHROOM!!
"Fine, you win." hands over mushroom "There, now go make whatever dish you're gonna make, and enjoy it." "Congratulations, you earned your prize." "A true master of cooking indeed." "Thanks, princess. And don't worry, I won't be too hard on you when you're my assistant." "You'll enjoy yourself despite the oddities of having to serve a former rival." "A true princess that's for sure." "Anyways, I'm starving so I'm gonna head back to the kitchen and cook up something delicious with this fire shroom."
yessss grabs mushroom and don’t forget you’re working for me forever!
"Y-Yeah yeah, forever sounds good. And besides, I wouldn't mind working for you if it means I get to eat delicious food all day long." "Mmm... And I wouldn't mind being able to cook as many meals as I want for myself either." "Now then, let's see what I can whip up." "Delighted smile" "I think I'll cook up some crab croquettes with a spicy dipping sauce."
yum, i should come to your restaurant some day
"Oh, of course, you'll be invited. Who wouldn't want to taste the master chef's creations themselves?"
"Well, I wouldn't mind if you came to join me either. Who knows? Maybe one day, we'll even open a branch in the capital." In the meantime, Charmy heads back to the kitchen to make more of her scrumptious food. I watch her go, before going back to work on my menu. And so, the two former rivals became great friends as they kept supporting each other. This story was inspired by charmyshu's AHC OCs.
AHAHA, WELL NOW THAT I HAVE THIS MUSHROOM I CAN FINALLY COMPLETE MY RAMEN RECIPE, THANKS CHARMY!! After a couple of hours, I finally finished making my ramen recipe using the fire shroom and the soup stock made from rabbit meat. The aroma was incredible. "Hm... Well, time to put this to the test then." I take a sip of the broth to test its flavor. "Mmmm... Delicious... It's got this spicy kick to it that makes the tongue tingle, with that hint of savory goodness from the rabbit meat stock. This is perfect!" "Ooh, that looks tasty, Haneki! What kind of ramen are you making?" "And what kind of ingredients are in it?" "How could I resist such a beautiful and delicious-looking ramen dish? Give me a bowl, I'm starving." I grab a bowl and fill it with the hot noodle soup. "The aroma is amazing, and the flavors really shine through. Would you mind sharing this delightful dish with me?" "No problem whatsoever." I happily hand you a bowl of the hot noodle soup. "Careful though. Be careful not to spill anything." "This is just a small sample of what I've been able
One sip, and Haneki's eyes went wide. "Damn, damn, that's some good broth!" Haneki then grabbed a bowl of ramen for himself and filled it up to the brim with the delicious soup. "Woah, this is way tastier than the stuff from Joignel or Amenity Square." "My god, this is seriously some top-notch stuff." "I can see why this ramen stand is the best in town." "A delicious cup of hot noodle soup. It's a nice change from all the drinks I've had lately." The spicy kick in the ramen hits my nose and I sneeze a few times. "I'll definitely have to try making this out in the future." "Speaking of which, how did you manage to create this delicious concoction anyways?"
YEAHH IM GOING TO BE THE BEST CHEF THERE IS
"Heh, good luck then, princess." "Giving yourself high expectations will lead to disappointment someday, you know. But hey, at least you'll always have someone supporting you, no matter how hard you fall." "You know, princess, sometimes I question how we became such strong rivals. Yet at the same time, how close we have gotten. You may drive me crazy, but deep down, I consider you to be a good friend."
giggles thanks peachys, your pretty cool too
giggles thanks charmy, your pretty cool too and so, the two former rivals became great friends as they kept supporting each other
) It was a nice story about friendship as well. It's something I feel we need more of in the world today. Especially in this era of social media where everyone has to compete against each other for likes and followers, even in the midst of a pandemic. We need people who support and lift each other up to help each other through these tough times.
RIGHT, WE NEED MORE FRIENDSHIPS
AND DEFINITELY MORE GOOD FOOD! TUM TUM TIIIIIIMEEEE GIGGLE I am in complete agreement with this sentiment. Food is a universal language and can provide comfort and joy to all people. I hope that we can all enjoy many more delicious meals together in the future. Here's hoping our paths cross again in the future, Peachy. Keep eating as much as you can and make yourself strong. There's still so much for you to accomplish and I wish for you all the best in your future endeavours. To finish off this story, we continue eating our delicious ramen as we sit at a table near a window and enjoy the evening breeze. Our hearts have grown through our shared experiences and we find comfort in one another's company as the night goes by.
