[That would make two of them.]

Er, well... I guess it is?

[Not that he has any defence.

Sandwiches, what? That takes effort.]

[There might be a long, hidden sigh that doesn't escape past the speakers.]

Y'know how to boil water, don't you?

In a kettle.

Duh.

[...Well, that's one way to do it.]

Then you can make your own ramen if you can handle sitting your ass down in the kitchen for ten minutes.

[Fancier ramen would take more time. Adding more intricate ingredients and cooking everything else if you wanted a big meal. But if it's just the noodles you want without many frills, it's easy enough to make your own. And it doesn't taste like shit.

Though maybe this person's a kid that shouldn't be allowed to handle knives. Hell if he knows.]

Don't you have to like-- do something with the vegetables before you put 'em in and whatever though?

What about the meat! You gotta... cook it somehow, yeah?

[It's instant or Ichiraku for this kid. For some reason handling kunai in battle is less risky than a knife in the kitchen.]

Not if you just want the ramen. Which is what you're paying for when you buy the prepackaged shit.

Just let a bowl of soup cook while you're doin' it. Buy it canned, if you want. Put the ramen in. That's it.

Well... yeah, but--

[Wait! You might just be onto something here.]

Just put some ramen into some-- soup?

For flavor. Ramen tastes a lot like what you put it in

Throw some lettuce or fresh vegetables in you don't have to cook if you want 'em. Boil some eggs beforehand if you want meat but don't wanna waste time cooking shit.

Oh.

Right, yeah I knew that. [LIAR]

I guess eggs are okay? I could put them in.

[Can you buy boiled eggs from the shop....?]

[No... but.]

Leave it out if you don't like them, and just stick with the soup or broth, if that's what you want. Doesn't matter.

[His laziness senses are tingling though.]

You know someone in Hel house?

... Maybe it'd just be easier to make the instant stuff still?

[Just what are you implying??]

Hel?

Yeah, that's where Sasuke is, right?

You don't think you can do it?

[He shakes his head, though there's no camera to catch it. How's he supposed to know where this Sasuke guy is?

He sighs.]

Look. What I'm getting at is there's a magic table here. If you ask it for the ingredients you need, it'll give it to you. Or your friend. Beats me if someone from another House counts.

[It might even give you boiled eggs if you ask nicely, is his point. But then again it might not. He hasn't tried.]

Huh? No. It's easy, I bet but--

[He can't.]

Really? Sasuke didn't say anythin' about that.

[HE WAS HIDING THIS FROM HIM?]

Couldn't you just ask it for ramen in the first place?

Maybe.

[No guarantee it'll taste as good as scratch though. Shinjiro doesn't really have any intention on trying to ask when you can just ask for the flour you need, and a few eggs. That's all you need for the dough.]

It gives you ingredients.

Oh. [That's a shame. He might just try it out though -- see what happens. Worth a try right?

You can probably expect him lurking around Hel house tomorrow trying it out.]

I dunno, maybe I'll get Sasuke to make it. Once we get the ingredients.

[Cooking is-- well, his attempts have never ended well.]

[He will be disappoint if you don't try it yourself, kid.]

All you need is two cups of flour, a small amount of salt, four eggs, and around a tablespoon of water for just the noodles. Double that if you want more.

[Prepare to feel intense disappointment.

He'll try! Okay? Maybe-- with Sasuke's help.]

... You live at the Hel place, right?

Yes.

Hey, so I might see ya next time?
