Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Hiratsuka was a bit sulking when she was being teased. She would have never expected that she was being teased by people who were younger than her. She was at the age when she was being sensitive about her age, but she didn't care much when she was with Yuuki.

Yuuki only smiled when he saw Hiratsuka move to his table to eat together with everyone.

Koizumi came toward them while bringing the menu. "Here is the menu, please tell me about your order."

They nodded and started to open the menu book. They could see that there were only three kinds of ramen on the menu book.

"There are only two menus?" Eriri asked.

"Ramen is a very time-consuming food and it is a very good job for them to be able to create two menus already," Hiratsuka said.

"Time-consuming?"

"It takes 16 hours to create a broth alone," Koizumi said.

"..."

Utaha and Eriri were speechless and weren't sure what to say when they heard the amount of time to create the broth of the ramen.

"Which one do you recommend?" Hiratsuka asked.

"If you don't like spicy food then please choose the original tonkatsu ramen," Koizumi said.

"I'll take the spicy one," Yuuki said.

"I'll take the original," Utaha said.

"I'll also take the original," Eriri said.

Utaha and Eriri looked at each other at this moment. Even though they usually fought each other, but their taste of food was quite similar to each other and that made them quite complex for some reason.

"Then, I'll choose...." Hiratsuka thought for a while and said, "Spicy."

Koizumi nodded and said, "Two original tonkatsu ramen and two spicy tonkatsu ramen. Please wait for a while." She left them and brought the order to the counter so the chef could prepare the ramen.

"Koizumi-san! What is their order?" Yuu asked with a serious expression, but couldn't hide the smile on her face when she saw Koizumi walking toward him.

"They have ordered....." Koizumi said of Yuuki's order along with his group.

Yuu nodded and said, "I'll make him blown away with my ramen." She nodded and entered the kitchen wanting to show her the best skill. "Suna! Takeo! Two original and two spicy!" She took a noodle and placed it into a strainer then boiled it to the perfect state.

"OOOHHH!!!"

Takeo and Suna nodded at the same time.

Takeo was holding large meat and sliced it with a cleaver into thin slices. His movement was very fluid as if he had done this for 10 years. His eyes were firm as if he wanted to shout at the world how delicious was the chashu that he had made.

Suna was quite speechless, but he didn't say anything since his girlfriend and best friend were very energetic people. He took four hot bowls and placed the sauce along with the broth inside. He also added a lot of chili on two bowls since there were two orders which wanted their ramen spicy.

Yuu shook the four strainers on her hands and placed the noodles on the bowls which filled with broth already skillfully.

Suna was by her side using chopsticks on his hand to make the noodles become tidier.

Takeo also took the slices of meat and placed them on the top of the ramen.

The work of the three of them was very skillful as if they had worked together for 20 years, even though they weren't 20 years old yet.

"The order is ready!" Yuu said.

Koizumi who was ready on the side took the ramen and brought the ramen to Yuuki along with everyone.

Yuuki was talking to each other until their order came.

They smelled delicious and couldn't wait to eat their ramen.

Hiratsuka nodded and said, "The smell is good, but what about the taste?"

Koizumi placed the four ramens on their table and bowed saying, "Please enjoy your ramen."

Utaha and Eriri were ready to eat, but they were stopped by Hiratsuka.

"Taste the soup first," Hiratsuka said and took the spoon on her bowl after scooping a broth on her ramen. She drank the ramen slowly and opened her eyes wide. "T - This is....!?"

Utaha, Eriri, and Yuuki didn't think much also started to eat their ramen, then suddenly they also opened their eyes wide.

The four of them couldn't imagine that such ramen was being made by a high school student. It might be the most delicious thing that they had tasted before and the taste was similar to the combination of a lot of delicious ramen in this world.

If they had to describe it then this ramen was similar to an orchestra. Each of the components inside the ramen was similar to musical instruments and the soloist of this orchestra was the broth.

Eriri and Utaha could taste the umami of the broth and it seemed that there was also a hint of a sea on the broth. They felt that they were relaxing on the beautiful beach with Yuuki massaging their bodies.

On the other hand, Yuuki and Hiratsuka felt that they were inside a sauna while doing a workout. They felt that they had taken their clothes off and kept working out inside the sauna until they entered nirvana.

"IT'S GOOD!!!"

Yuu who had been observing them from far away couldn't help but showed a smug smile. "It's not much!"

Koizumi showed a rare smile at this moment and that smile was very beautiful. She was happy that they could enjoy the ramen that was made by her class. She bowed her head and left them quietly since she knew they had entered the ramen state in this world and it wasn't good to bother them.

(Ramen state: a state where they will put all of their concentration and consciousness into eating ramen).

"One more bowl!"

They thought that it wasn't enough to eat one ramen and decided to eat it one more time.

Utaha really thought that she should do a night exercise later with Yuuki at this moment. However, she also somehow understood why some people had an addiction to ramen.
