Chapter 206 Aikatsu 7
I don't own Kamen Rider Ryuki or Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.
The group were at the beach enjoying the sun with Jin lying down on the sides watching the ocean.
"Well it is a nice place." Kagami said.
"Yeah, to be able to be at our original home." Jin said.
They were having a little fun before Alix has her dress ready.
"Hey Jin do you know a place to eat?" Kim calls out.
"Oh." Jin checks his watch. "Well it is lunch time. We should try something that's more traditional."
He leads them forward and saw a ramen shop but it was closed.
"Damn it." He frowns. "The rest of the other places are too far."
"Well that's bad." Nino said.
"No, theres one place, that will have ramen 24 hours." Jin said.
Kagami and some of the Japanese girls gasped.
"You mean..." Ai said.
He nodded.
They passed by a bus station and saw many vending machines.
"Vending machines?" Alya said.
"We at Japan have many vending machines for many things, no i'm not kidding." Jin said.
They looked at the selection.
"Burgers, fries and... Pizza even." Marinette got surprised.
"Hey they have cakes, in a can even." Rose said.
"It's to protect the cake as it falls down." Jin explained.
He then goes to a ramen vending machine and inserts his money inside, he waited and got a bowl of ramen dispensed heated with chopsticks.
"Wow." Alix said. "Why do you guys have so many vending machines?"
"Because in Japan, many businessman are always on the go, so these are there to sell to the man to have food while they get to work." Kagami explained.
Max checks his pda. "Seeing how many tend to work at certain hours, going through trains... It is a more efficient way to get quick food."
"Neat." Kim checks the options. "Hey chicken."
Many got the ramen and enjoyed the lunch since it was a more traditional food for the country.
"Despite being from a vending machine it is pretty good." Alya said.
"I actually did try ramen from a machine, it was when our limo broke down." Kagami thinks about a memory. "We were traveling but after it stopped the driver bought a bowl for me and despite being not cooked by a real chef I enjoyed it."
"Simple is always better." Jin said.
Adrien sees one. "Really crab?"
"Yeah, theres two kinds we have, one that will cook crab, while others will sell crab you can cook at home." Jin said.
"Well there is two types." Adrien checks the cook version. "It's more expensive."
"It's crab, what did you expect." Jin said.
"Good point and theres many types in the non cooked one..." Adrien then sees one moving. "And wow they're still alive."
"What?" Marinette got stunned. "They have live crab there."
"We get a lot, even from other countries." Jin said. "Also don't get the crab, i'm the one paying and it's better to get desert."
"Yeah good idea." Adrien nodded.
After finishing the ramen Jin picked everyones flavours and ordered the cake in a can for them.
Rose opens her can and sees pink cake with a strawberry. "Wow."
Jin takes out spoons from the basket of that machine and gives it to the others. "They even have spoons."
They enjoyed the cakes and Marinette looks at it and wonders how they put cake inside of it.
"I should take a few to play with my sisters thinking it's a drink." Alya said.
"Yeah only problem airport rules." Jin frowns. "But I can try to order some to be delivered there."
He knows a site that can deliver those same cans so Alya can show them to her sisters.
Anya was sitting with Jin and she enjoys a peanut cake can.
"Always liking peanuts." Jin smiles at her.
She nodded. "Yeah."
"Say what's the other part of the world that has the most vending machines?" Kim asked Jin.
"From what I know, Singapore. They always tend to have each types." Jin said.
"Oh cool. Also can I get some fries to go, since a snack?" Kim said.
Jin shrugs. "Ketchup?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
Jin did buy the fries that came out of a cup and gave them to Kim who enjoys them.
"Say anything that's unique here before going back to Vivid Kiss?" Alix asked.
Jin looks and smiles, he goes to a regular candy machine and takes out some green tea chocolate.
"Hey I know this brand, they have green tea here?" Alix checks it.
"Yeah, here theres many unique chocolates." Jin said.
"Hey what's that one?" Ivan asked pointing at a blue teat.
"Oh that's from America, but it's no surprise some treats there get sent here. It's a sponge cake with a cream filling." He said.
He let's Ivan try it and he shrugs. "Not bad."
"Well everyone enjoy the treats and food of Japan while we're here. Since this is a unique experience." Jin said.
Kagami eats another cake can and she did miss these treats from the time her limo broke down. It was such a unique experience for her.
Anya looks at Kagami and can tell she likes being more normal.
"Hey Anya are you thirsty?" Jin asked her.
"Oh." She looks. "Yeah."
"Juice?" He said.
She nodded.
Jin buys another can of actual juice for Anya as she drinks from it. It was a good thing he saved up his money from his job for this day.
He then saw Kagami eat black licorice. "Oh didn't know you like black licorice."
"It's... Actually good for your health." She said. "Plus it isn't bad."
Alya smells. "Oh my, the smell is so strong."
"Yeah, the original had a strong medical smell. Also quick warning the other version is worse." Jin said.
"Seriously?" Marc said.
He nodded. "At least the original can prevent coughs among other things. So it's at least good for that."
Mylene tries one after asking Kagami and bites. "Oh... It's not bad."
They enjoyed they're quick lunch before heading back and Alix was curious to what her coord will be like.
Note: Heres a little chapter for the group reacting to a few things in Japan, mainly the food with Kagami here liking Black Licorice.
