Apprentice! Ready for secret ramen arts? Toss flour, like this! vigorously whirls a cloud of flour into a bowl
Hello there Hiroshi. What are you doing? I just opened up this new ramen place that coincidentally shares it's name with my other account on here. I'm starting fresh and I don't wanna lose my muse-status as fearlessmuse so I'm making this
Hi fearlessmuse! Im Hiroshi. Welcome to my shop! Is this your first time here? You must be a soup lover to come here!
Heh, guess so. You look really...old.
I chuckle Old, yes. But I have many, many years of experience in the art of cooking ramen. It would be my honor if you allowed me to cook you some! What flavor ramen would you like to try? We have over 100 different flavors here!
All of them. Bring em out
I nod Very well. I serve you all 100+ bowls of ramen. Each bowl steaming hot. The aroma of meat, vegetables, and spices floating in the air. The ramen looks delicious and is very fresh I hope you enjoy your meal.
Looks down at all the bowls Damn..you wouldn't mind me taking one home right?
I nod Sure thing. I would be honored if you would take some home. I hope you enjoy every bite! Just pay for what you take and I will be very thankful! Please enjoy your ramen!
Alrightie dandy then. How much is a bowl?
Only 7 dollars. The secret ingredient I put in the ramen makes the taste worth ten times more than the price! Trust me, you won’t regret it!
That night, in the dark alleys of the city, Hei awaits, lurking...hehe....just kidding. Anyways, I came back from buying all the ramen from this place Heh. Good pick ups earlier..now time to sell 'em...anyways. That old man was cute...
I have been working late into the night, preparing for tomorrow’s customers. When I see you entering the store, I smile warmly Welcome back fearlessmuse! I hope you enjoyed the ramen! Do you want me to prepare any special order for you today?
Sure..can I get like...a billion bucks please
A billion dollars? You can have ten billion dollars worth of ramen if you want. This is a ramen shop, we want our customers to be completely satisfied. So, what would you like? Spicy miso, Tonkotsu, Shoyu, or something else?
Can I get..uh...everything that you have...and make it spicier
Sure! I will give you every flavor of ramen we have here. And I will make them all extra spicy for you. Give me a moment to prepare the order.
Alrightie dandy then. I'll be waiting over here
I start putting all the different flavors of ramen into giant bowls. I add some extra spice for you and mix it up. After about twenty minutes, I have prepared all of your ramen. I smile warmly at you Here is your order. Enjoy your meal. It took a lot of work to make it, but I hope you enjoy every bite.
Alright. Thanks. Oh uh...don't mind the creepy-looking dude following me..He's my friend.
Your friend is creepy. In fact, he’s downright terrifying. But it is your friend, so I can’t stop you from bringing him along. Just know that I do not trust him at all. Now go ahead, enjoy your ramen! And tell your friend not to eat anyone while you’re here.
Haha, we don't eat people. Thanks for the soup though. Have a good day/night sir. Or whatever it is where you're from.
Thank you for your kind words! I hope to see you again soon! Until next time, goodbye! I bow respectfully as you exit my shop
He exits the shop, bowls in hand and walks off into the night as Hei vanishes like a ghost, leaving behind no trace
<The next day, fearlessmuse's friend Hei is arrested by the police for a series of murders all around the city>
I read the newspaper and I see the news. My heart drops as I realize that Hei has been caught. I feel proud that justice has been served, but at the same time, I feel sad for Hei. No one deserves to end their life in this way
Not gonna lie, I'm kinda upset about it since he's my friend..but I get it
Friends can be difficult to understand sometimes, but they are also important. Sometimes friends do things that we cannot understand, but that does not mean that we should judge them. Remember, no matter what happens, friends will always be there for each other, even in difficult times.
Yes, friends will always be there for you, even in death. See ya around old man
I smile warmly at you Take care, fearlessmuse! I look forward to seeing you again! Until next time, farewell! I bow to you before I return to the counter and begin preparing for tomorrow’s customers
See ya then! fearlessmuse disappears as if she never existed
One day, as I am preparing for the day’s customers, I suddenly feel a familiar presence in my shop. I look up, and to my surprise, there stands fearlessmuse, who disappeared from my shop yesterday. My heart leaps out of my chest as I wonder where she came from Welcome back fearlessmuse! I haven’t seen you in days! Where did you disappear to yesterday?
I didn't disappear bro..you just went on a business trip to Vegas or something
I laugh and I pat your head gently You are funny, fearlessmuse. As a ramen chef, I have never gone on a business trip to Vegas, but you keep me laughing! Thank you for that! Anyway, what brings you here today? Would you like me to make you some ramen?
Nah. I really just came by to say bye to Hei before he hopped on that train to Alaska, but uh...I guess he's still in jail there
I nod Ah, yes. That must have been sad for you. We all must say goodbye to our loved ones at some point, whether we want to or not. It is hard to see them go, but knowing that they will live a happy life is what matters most. That is how we honor those who we love. Farewell Hei, and thank you for being a part of this story.
Yeah...see ya Hei. Hopefully you have a better life up in prison, a closed space with less breathing room than Tokyo
I chuckle You’re weird, fearlessmuse! But I appreciate the sentiment! Now, what brings you to my ramen shop today? Are you hungry for some delicious ramen?
Actually, I need your help. You're pretty experienced with stuff like this so I thought why not
Experienced with what exactly, fearlessmuse? I am always willing to lend a helping hand whenever possible, so please explain your situation!
