So, it’s time for the customary birthday interview. Whenever I’m somewhere formal like this, I get a bit nervous…
Since this is a traditional event, I’ll have to make sure I answer properly and not make any mistakes.
Anyway, the presenter chosen by the “Magical Birthday Dice” should be coming soon…

Haaaah… I mean, I’ll do it because I was chosen for it, but come on. This mandatory event is super annoying. Excuuuse me…

SHROUD-SENPAI… YO! THANK YOU FOR COMING!

Hiee! There’s that stupid loud jock voice…!
Deu-Deu-Deuce-shi, you were waiting, huh… Already…

Deuce

So you were the one chosen to be my presenter. I’m honored to have you!

It’s not like I came because I wanted to… Eh, whatever. Anyway… Here’s your present…

Thank you very much! Wow, it’s a very large bag. I wonder what’s inside…
Oh, this is…!

My selection of 20 types of cup ramen. It has an array of choices, from local specialties, to some low-sugar varieties that are currently all the rage.
I bet it’s perfect for a growing highschooler with a huge appetite like you, though, right? I don’t really know anything about that, though.
These are the flavors I usually eat, but there’s a bunch here, so I’m sure at least one of them will suit your tastes, Deuce-shi.

When you say “usually,” does that mean you like cup ramen too?
|
Idia
Idia

Oho, “too,” he says… Fuheehee, looks like I made the right choice.
I mean, I wouldn’t really say I like them, they’re just convenient to eat. It doesn’t take any time to cook, it’s ready in just a couple minutes.
|

Yeah, yeah! You can easily make some just by pouring some hot water on it, it fills up your stomach, and is super tasty.
On days that I have club activities… Especially when we’re practicing more in preparation for a meet, I tend to get too hungry and won’t last until dinner time.
It’d dig into my wallet to buy food every day, and even then, there’s only so much I can do to stave off the hunger.
|
Idia
Idia
|
Ahh… I get you. When I’m concentrating hard on something, it’s fine, but the moment I remember I’m hungry, it’s game over…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yes. Once, Jack told me that boxers drink a ton of water in order to keep from getting hungry…
I thought it was a good idea, and tried to imitate them, but honestly, I didn’t really have much luck with that.
|
Idia
Idia
|
Well, yeah, it’s just water.

But, thanks to you, Shroud-senpai, I shouldn’t have to worry about finding something to eat after my club. Thank you!
Still, this is pretty amazing. I’ve eaten a ton of different kinds of cup ramen up ‘til now, but…
There’s a ton of stuff here that I’ve never even seen before. It’s like a dream come true that I get to eat all these… Wait, huh?
Oh, I think this… Yeah, didn’t they stop selling this one here back when I was in elementary school…?
|
Idia
Idia

Ah, yeah, that one is being sold again recently. On top of only being sold via the manufacturer’s official mail order service, there was only a limited quantity being sold.
The day of release, their website was overloaded with requests, and was already completely sold out in the minute after the site crashed. Now I hear it’s being scalped at premium price.

I-Is it alright for me to be receiving something that valuable…?
|
Idia

Fuheehee, I was able to purchase a whole box of them no problem, so~ Take it, take it!

Man, this is so nostalgic… I used to love eating these with eggs.
Also, this one with the seafood base is most well-known for being made with milk, but it’s still delicious with eggs…
|
Idia
Idia
|
Deuce-shi, do you not know how to flavor them using anything but eggs?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Well, I mean, eggs go with any kind of cup ramen! There’s no way to screw it up, so I totally recommend it.
|

Hmmm… I’m not really sure if I’d ever prep cup ramen like that, since they’re supposed to be hassle free. But hey, if I ever feel like it, I guess I can give it a shot.
