A Japanese Weresheep in Mutsuba Town
Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to or of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH! series.
Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.
Summary:
There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.
Chapter 136: Galactica Dejavu
"Hey, hey? Did I surprise you?"
"Yes, we were both really surprised by you jumping out from underneath the table, chupa. Now hurry up and pick out what you want, cabra!"
Yuhi rotated the tablet so Damamu could see the menu. Technology that couldn't be found natively in Mutsuba Town, but to the great range of extraterrestrials living in the Underground Alien Residential Area, wasn't particularly astonishing.
It was also the basis for the Dragon-Type Monster Card in Yuhi's original Deck: Swipenir. Actually, Goha Company had taken many cues from the futuristic technology Yuna had been around during her time whipping the Rovian Bandits into shape. To inform the designs and effects of monsters in that Deck.
"Damamu, you can play around after we get home."
They were out for dinner at Bikkuri Entermate Secondonkey. Chupataro, Yuhi, and Damamu.
"What d'ya wanna eat? They have egg on rice, curry bread, curry pasta, Hamburg steak topped with cheese, cheese toast, potato salad toast, marron cake, coconut cream pie, strawberries and cream…"
"T.K.G. (tamago kake gohan)! No, cheese toast! No –!"
"Make sure you have some vegetables in there, chupa."
"Ehhh~? Do I hafta?" Damamu warped from Yuhi's side of the booth to Chupataro's, from Chupataro's side back to Yuhi's, then back and forth a couple more times.
Incapable of deciding what seat to float over.
Unable to make the call what to order.
"Chupa."
"But Yuhi doesn't have to eat his vegetables!"
Yuhi stared off awkwardly into space, covering his head with one hand to avoid Chupataro and Damamu's piercing looks: one accusatory, and the other innocently airheaded.
Looks like they'd been getting tips from Tazaki-san!
"How is Chupa the more responsible parent, cabra?"
"You tell me. You're the farm animal eater here! When was the last time ya had pickled daikon?"
"The cow goes MOO!" Damamu mooed.
"There were veggies in the spaghetti we made at Badloon Castle, chupa!"
"There's cucumber in Maki-san's sushi rolls!"
They both made valid points.
"The chicken goes CLU –!"
"Just pick something already, chupa!" Chupataro pinched Damamu's lips shut, causing Damamu to wiggle and laugh till Chupataro let go.
"It all sounds good! How can I choose just one?"
"Well, you don't have to choose just one, but don't choose everything, chupa. Remember who's paying, chupa!" He doubted even Damamu would have the stomach to consume that amount.
Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe!
Damamu poked the plus sign next to the menu items and their prices, elevated by the bell that rang with every selection added to the cart. Yuhi then took the tablet, selected the food he wanted, and gave it to Chupataro to select the food he wanted, reviewing their choices with them before confirming the order.
Damamu ordered:
1. Tamainapot.
2. Killer Potato salad toast.
3. Mikorange juice.
4. Galactica Oblivion parfait.
Yuhi ordered:
1. Kuriboh doria.
2. Burst Stream of Destruction drink.
3. Kuriboh and Winged Kuriboh Mont Blanc.
Chupataro ordered:
1. Hungry Burger and fries.
2. Rude Kaiser salad (to share, since neither Damamu nor Yuhi ordered any greens).
3. Jerry Beans Man soda.
4. Meeeg-chan parfait.
When Yuhi was asking Damamu what Damamu would like to eat, he fed Damamu a descriptive inventory, rather than the meal options as advertised. The proper names were…splashy.
Damamu's "Tamainapot" was chawanmushi (steamed egg). The "Killer Potato salad toast" was thick white bread cut into halves with an appetizing potato gratin spread. "Mikorange juice" was regular orange juice served with ice cubes. And "Galactica Oblivion parfait" was chocolate gateau, a chocolate brownie, and vanilla ice cream with blue syrup, whipped cream, wafers, orange slices, frozen mixed berries, candy crumbs, and jelly.
Yuhi's "Kuriboh doria" was meatballs in meat sauce and tomato paste. "Burst Stream of Destruction drink" was a concoction of milk, sparkling water, lemonade, and blue colouring, with a marble of sour candy. "Kuriboh and Winged Kuriboh Mont Blanc" were globs of chestnut purée, the edible Winged Kuriboh decorated with wings sketched in whipped cream.
Chupataro's "Hungry Burger and fries" was a patty, lettuce, and tomato between two whole wheat buns, cheddar cut into two rows of sharp teeth, with a large platter of fries and a condiment cup of BBQ sauce. The "Rude Kaiser salad" was lettuce leaves dressed with croutons, cherry tomatoes, cheese gratings, and miscellaneous seasonings. His "Jerry Beans Man soda" was soda with jelly beans in it, the jelly beans sourced from a guy purportedly named Jerry. And the "Meeeg-chan parfait" was vanilla ice cream and panna cotta with fairy floss, whipped cream, chocolate crisps, strawberry drizzle, and a souvenir Meeeg-chan rod pick.
"Somebody activated Multiply on my dinner! Cuz there's five of these, and I can't possibly finish 'em by myself!"
Five luxurious meatballs. Chupataro spooned one out of the skillet onto Damamu's plate.
"Nooo~!"
"Now what, chupa?"
"I feel bad for the Kuribohs! They're like 'Am I getting cut up into pieces now?'"
"You ordered them, chupa! You gone soft like Yudias, not wanting to release his monsters when he was first learning to Rush Duel, chupa? Where's brooding too-cool-for-school Yuhi?"
"Kiddin'~! I'd love to eat me some Kuribohs! And that's the truth!" Yuhi said this in the same mawkish tone he'd deployed to break it to Chupataro the Valvelgear he stole out of his backpack was a forgery.
"It…It was just paper, chupa…"
"Sorry to disappoint."
"Chupa?"
"What you took was…the fake that I made! This is the real one."
"Hey, Damamu!" Yuhi threw an arm over Damamu's shoulder. "If Kuriboh meatballs could talk, they'd say –"
"KURI KURI!" Damamu kuri'd.
The family of three laughed, and enjoyed their dinner.
"Never change, Yuhi."
…
Chupataro reverted back to his awareness of the present.
The giant G and hexagon of the updated Goha logo loomed large and tall at the top of what was once Mutsuba Tower.
"I am sorry for your loss. Yuhi-san, he –" Mitsuko hunched to take her tea and not scrape the ceiling of Chupataro's apartment.
His name is Otes, chupa.
Yuhi had changed, all right. He'd changed for the worse.
