Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Both of them had quite a long journey but they enjoyed it since the scenery was quite beautiful.

Yuuki knew some good places along the way and let her enjoy the trip more.

They had arrived at their destination. They saw a simple beige white building with a lot of green ramen bowls and the 'Shinyokohama Ramen Museum' name on top. They entered the building and bought a ticket before they entered the museum.

"There are a lot of people who come here," Chitoge said.

"Yeah, this place is quite famous after all," Yuuki answered.

Chitoge couldn't wait to explore this ramen museum but she wanted to eat first since she was also quite hungry, "Let's go, Yuuki!!" She didn't know who was the genius who decided to make this place but she was very grateful to that person.

"Sure," Yuuki followed her to enter together.

Both of them entered the museum and looked around. There are many kinds of ramen stores inside and they are also quite a strange store too. Even though it was a ramen museum, they were more interested in eating the ramen itself rather than reading the history. They were looking at which stores they should enter first.

In the entrance of the ramen museum, a beautiful girl with long blonde hair wearing a kimono entered the museum. She had become the center of attention when she entered this museum since she was beautiful.

In the same place, there were a group of people walking together in the crowd.

"They have entered this place, Claude-Sama!!" Tsugumi reported.

"Hmm, ramen museum, huh? Let's enter," Claude said.

They entered the museum together.

Tsugumi looked around, incidentally saw someone familiar, "Koizumi?"

Koizumi who heard her name was called by someone turned and was quite surprised to see her acquaintance, "Tsugumi-san?"

Both of them had become partners during a cooking class before and that was why even though their classes were different, they knew each other.

Claude looked surprised at the interaction between the two of them. He pulled her and whispered, "Seishirou, did you have a girlfriend here?"

"Girlfriend? What are you talking about?" Tsugumi asked with a confused expression. She was a girl, there was no way that she could make girlfriends unless she was interested in the same genders.

"So who is she?" Claude asked. He was quite disappointed when he heard that his adopted son didn't enjoy his youth, until this moment, he still mistook her for a boy.

"She is a classmate," Tsugumi answered with a calm expression.

"Hmm," Claude looked at her thoughtfully. He knew that his lady would be angry when she knew that they had tailed them. He looked at both Tsugumi and Koizumi. He thought for a while and thought it would be great to let them tail after Chitoge. He smiled and said, "Listen, you go out with her and tail both of Ojou and the brat from the Shuuei Clan at that time." He took the money and gave it to her since he was sure that she needed it.

"Eh???" Tsugumi was startled.

"Go! Go!" Claude pushed her toward Koizumi.

Tsugumi could only sigh and walked toward Koizumi.

Koizumi didn't hear the conversation between Tsugumi and Claude, but looking at her expression, she could tell that Tsugumi had received something troublesome, "What's wrong?" She asked her calmly.

"Can we come together?" Tsugumi asked.

Koizumi thought for a while and nodded, "Sure, let's go together."

"Good," Tsugumi sighed in relief. She was glad that Koizumi had accepted her invitation since both of them weren't particularly close to each other but at the same time, she thought it would be a great idea to make her friend.

Yuuki and Chitoge had chosen a shop and decided to eat there. They put their money on the ticket vending machine and gave the ticket to the clerk. They sat on the empty seat and waited for their ramen to come.

The atmosphere in this museum is similar to the old town in the past, the scenery is unique to both of them, it gave them a mysterious feeling but it was also very interesting.

"Two The Canadian-style tori paitan! Please enjoy it!"

The clerk said and gave both their ramen orders.

The tori paitan soup features a concentration of the umami of chicken, which is extracted by boiling it for many hours, the sweetness of vegetable potage, and the harmony of rich seafood flavors.

They sniffed the ramen and tasted the soup first since it was the hidden rules in the ramen lovers to taste the soup before anything else.

"Delicious!!"

Both of them said at the same time and truly enjoyed their ramen. They could taste the umami from the soup and the taste of the chicken. The vegetable made the ramen had a slightly refreshing taste at the same time, the smoked maple butter made it slightly sweet. They had never tasted this kind of ramen and continued to eat it with a happy expression.

Tsugumi and Koizumi got in trouble after they entered this ramen museum. Both of them had found a lost child along the way and they needed to find her mother.

"It is okay, we will find your mom," Tsugumi said to her.

"U - un," the little girl nodded.

"But it's kind of hard to find her mother in this crowded area," Koizumi said while looking at a crowd of people.

"Hmm, that's true," Tsugumi nodded. She was kind of forgotten about her mission since she was also attracted by the atmosphere of this place, however, she needed to find the mother of this little girl before she could enjoy this place.

Both of them were looking around until they heard someone calling their names.

"Eh? Tsugumi? Koizumi?"

Koizumi and Tsugumi turned and saw Yuuki and Chitoge were there together eating cotton candy.

"Well, it is a coincidence," Yuuki said. He kinda got the feeling that Tsugumi was tailing him but he didn't expect to meet Koizumi in this place.

Koizumi didn't say anything and looked at Chitoge who was by his side. She looked at her for a while and turned toward him, "Can you help us to find the mother of this little girl?"

Yuuki and Chitoge looked at the cute little girl by their sides.

"Little girl, we will help you to find your mother, can you tell us about her?" Yuuki asked.

"Yeah, big brother," the little girl nodded at him and told them about her mother.

They listened to her description, though, both Koizumi and Tsugumi felt quite dumb to not ask about her mother before.

Yuuki used his magic and found her mother immediately, "I have found her, let's go meet your mom." He was also kind of excited to see the mother of this little girl. He was sure that her mother must be very beautiful.

"Really, big brother?" the little girl was really happy.

"Of course, let's go," Yuuki said.

"Really? How come?" Koizumi asked was also surprised.

"I remember that I have seen someone in her description before, she was also in a hurry but I thought she wanted to go to the toilet but it seemed it wasn't the case," Yuuki answered.

They accepted his explanation and walked together to find the mother of this little girl. They found the mother of this little girl shortly after.

"Mama!!" The little girl was running toward her.

"Oh, why are you running around?" Her mom hugged her afraid to lose her again. She looked at them and smiled, "Thank you for helping my child."

"Don't worry, I'm also happy that I can help you," Yuuki was glad since he found a really beautiful young mother.

"Alright, we won't bother your date, you can use this coupon to eat ramen together," the mother winked at him and left with her child.

"Bye, big brother!" the little girl said while waving her hand.

"Bye!" Yuuki smiled. He turned toward those who were looking at him, "Alright, how about we eat ramen together?"

They nodded and didn't notice his reaction when he saw the mother of the little girl. They went to the German Ramen since the coupon was from this shop.

Yuuki sat between both Chitoge and Koizumi while waiting for their order.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Koizumi said.

Yuuki looked at her and said, "That kimono really suits you."

Koizumi looked at him for quite a long time and said, "Maybe I chose the wrong man."

Yuuki looked at her with a startled expression but it became calm in seconds. He felt that maybe he was wrong to bring other girls to their special place.

Koizumi looked at him and waited for his response. She was jealous and mad since he had brought someone else to eat ramen with him. She thought that ramen was the one thing that connected both of them.

Yuuki looked at her for a bit and said, "...I'm sorry."

"For what?" Koizumi asked.

"Ramen," Yuuki answered.

"Hmmm," Koizumi didn't answer him for a while, ".....I won't give you another chance if you did it again."

"I won't," Yuuki answered. He really thought that he was kind of wrong this time and needed to treasure the connection between the two of them more.

Both Tsugumi and Chitoge didn't hear their conversation since their voice was too small to be heard by them.

Yuuki and Koizumi talked for a while until their order came.

They started to eat ramen together and couldn't help but shout.

"Lecker!"

This bowl of ramen made their heart and soul warm at the same time, and also made them closer to each other.
