Hassaku

I see we’re at a zoo for this portion of the tour…

Kodama

This is Domeki Kuguri’s area! Kuguri is the sex appeal of Ev3ns!

His overwhelmingly powerful presence and dangerously sexy charm have created a sect of followers that grows by the minute…!

Fan H

Kuguri-sama… There are so many Kuguri-samas…

Fan I

Hahhh… This is like a religious experience… I’m being called upon… Am I in heaven? Or am I in hell?

Zoo

Hassaku

Hm! Holograms are already dotted around the area!

Kuguri Hologram A

<⁠……⁠>

Kuguri Hologram B

<⁠Hello there. Would you like to know a little about these animals? Well, I’ll only tell you if I feel like it.⁠>

Kodama

Their responses are random! Some Kuguris will ignore you, while others will talk to you…!

It’s completely true to life!! The perfect replica of Kuguri, the fickle bombshell!!

Fan H

Apparently if we find a Kuguri-sama in a different color, we get special fanservice!! Let’s go look for him!!

Hassaku

A very interesting prospect I’m hearing from the fans here.

Kodama

I like the whole group, but I must stay faithful to Chii! I don’t need special fanservice… I don’t…!

Fan I

There’s a special Kuguri-sama around here!! I just saw him!!

Kodama

WOAAAAAAAAAAGGHHH WHEREWHEREWHEEEEERE?!

Hassaku

(Hm. Didn’t you just say you wanted to be faithful?)

Omotenashi Battle
Kodama

The special hologram disappeared… Typical of the fickle bombshell… He loves to tease! To ridicule! To captivate us!

He’s always just out of reach, which makes you want him more! That is the essence of Domeki Kuguriiii!!!

A secret Kuguri who always slips through your fingers is the perfect interpretation of him!!

Hassaku

(W-We didn’t find the special hologram, yet he’s still enjoying himself…)

The real one is standing by the exit.

Kuguri

Why, hello. Are you done here? Goodbye.

Fan H

Um, Kuguri-sama… Could I have the honor of receiving your attention?!

Kuguri

No, lány. I’m afraid I can’t be bothered.

Fan H

HAAGHH, thank you so very much!!

Fan I

U-Um, may I ask for something too…?

Kuguri

Hm… I’ll give you a name. You will be known as Thoughtless Okapi from now on.

Thoughtless Okapi

Ah…!! I-I’m going back to the okapi cage!!

Fan H

Ahh… Drops of almsgiving from God himself… Amrita…

Hassaku

(I-Is that truly something to be so overjoyed at…? Fanservice is every bit as complex as tourism…)

Ramen Exhibition Hall

Ramen Exhibition Hall

Hassaku

Hm… Last on our schedule is the leader, Kitakata Raito’s ward. I wonder what he has in store…

(I do feel quite hungry at the moment.)

Hm? Is this…a ramen exhibition hall?!

Kodama

As I expected…! You are truly following the way, Kitakata Raito…!!

Hassaku

Th-The way…?

Raito Hologram

<⁠Thank you for coming. I’m Kitakata Raito, and I’ll be showing you around. I hope you’ll enjoy my ramen!⁠>

Hassaku

Your ramen…?

Raito Hologram

<⁠Hassaku, Kodama, I’d like to know what kind of ramen you prefer. Would you like something light or rich for today?⁠>

Kodama

Rich, of course!

Hassaku

I suppose I’ll go with…light?

Raito Hologram

<⁠How firm do you want your noodles? For the broth, we have salt, pork bone, soy sauce, miso… Oh, let me know what your zodiac sign is as well.⁠>

Hassaku

M-My zodiac sign…?

Raito Hologram

<⁠I can recommend you ramen based on your sign. You’ll be able to choose your toppings too. ♪⁠>

<⁠……⁠>

<⁠Alright! I’ve formulated your ramen recipes. Let’s make our way to the restaurant!⁠>

Timeskip
Hassaku

Hmm… It seems to be order-made… *slurp*

Th-This is…delicious!! The taste is enough to even appeal to a sweet tooth like me…!

Kodama

MMMM… Ramen specially made by Kitakata Raito, the leader of Ev3ns… It’s simply divine…!!

Raito Hologram

<⁠I’m glad you enjoy it. I came up with these recipes after eating at all of these restaurants multiple times and processing my own opinions on their ramen.⁠>

Hassaku

(I see… The flavor is quite addictive.)

Raito Hologram

<⁠I hope you come by again. I’ll meet you at the exit.⁠>

Kodama

Hm! What a fantastic meal!! Let’s go, Hassaku!

Hassaku

(The hologram said he’d meet us at the exit, but the real Raito seems to be standing there. I wonder what fanservice he has to offer…)

Raito

……

Hassaku

Hm?

Raito

……

Hassaku

(He’s…not doing fanservice?!)

Kodama

A power stance with his arms crossed, just like a true ramen restaurant owner…!! I didn’t expect him to follow the way this closely…

Kitakata Raito’s love for ramen rings true!!!

Hassaku

Hold on… W-What are you talking about?

Kodama

Hmph… Hassaku. If a chef has confidence in his ramen’s taste…in the noodles…then he doesn’t need to do fanservice! That is the true way of the ramen chef.

You’ve grown into a fine man, Kitakata Raito…

Hassaku

(H-He’s crying…?! Well, the ramen was quite delicious…)

Raito

Thanks for coming! I hope to see you at our show later too!

Fan E

We’re totally gonna go! Your ramen was so delicious, Raito!

Hassaku

(The activities in each ward made the most of their strengths as idols to entertain guests. Adequate work…I suppose.)

(But idols show their true colors during concerts… If they don’t perform better than the past two teams did, I will not acknowledge their skill.)

(Kafka, show me how prepared you are.)
