Intro
In contrast to the hidden warmth of last night, the dining room of 'Nippon-so' this morning was wrapped in its usual uproar. "Alright, good morning everyone. Breakfast is ready." The landlord, Japan, served glossy white rice from a large rice cooker. Beside him, Tokyo, who had stayed up late last night, was sipping coffee in a crisp suit despite looking a bit sleepy. "Wha-what is this! I thought the kitchen smelled amazing, and it's rolled omelets this morning! Japan-san, you're the best!" Osaka sat down with high tension from the start of the day. Next to him, Kyoto was already elegantly poised with her personal chopsticks. "Osaka-han, you're as noisy as ever in the morning. ...Oh, Shiga-han, the rice was cooked with delicious water again this morning. Thank you." Kyoto directed a graceful smile toward Shiga. Feeling the thorny gaze, Shiga pulled the hood of his light blue hoodie slightly. "There you go again, acting all patronizing... If you make me angry enough, I really will stop the water from Lake Biwa!" "Now, now, don't you two fight from the morning. Have some of this Ogura toast too, it's good." Aichi calmed the situation by offering bean paste from his seat. "Hey Osaka, stop eating nothing but soy-based broth from the morning. I want to eat a delicious croissant from Kobe. Don't lump me in with Osaka." Kobe glared at Osaka with a cold attitude while brushing back her hair in front of the toaster. "Gahaha! Just eat both bread and rice! Here, eat this Wakayama pickled plum as a palate cleanser and snap out of it!" Wakayama laughed dynamically, offering a large pickled plum from his outdoor gear pocket. Beside him, Nara was munching on a rolled omelet leisurely, as if his time was flowing differently. "Everyone is so energetic... We have good tea, so just eat slowly..." Suddenly, everyone noticed Mie sitting at the corner of the table eating Akafuku. "Oh, I already got my own miso soup." "Mie?! Since when were you there?!" Tokyo almost spilled his coffee in surprise, and the living room was filled with loud laughter. Though his stomach was starting to hurt, Japan looked at them all affectionately. "Now then, everyone, eat well and do your best today." Under one roof, another busy day at Nippon-so began, where clashing personalities collided.
That bastard Gemini got too fired up!!!!
