Cat ramen.

It is not as the name says that it is a ramen opened by cats or a ramen made of cats or all of them are cats.

There is not even a cat's element in appearance.

From the outside, this is just an ordinary ramen shop.

The so-called ramen noodles are actually ramen shops in the form of street stalls. The owner pushes a cart, hangs up signs, and sets up small stools for guests to rest.

It is very common between 6:00 and 9:00 in the evening.

Even in Fukuoka, Yatai has become a culture that attracts tourists to visit.

Although the Yatai in Kyoto is not as good as Fukuoka, it is also much more than Tokyo.

The Kama River stretches out, and in addition to the Shimoya Shrine, the Kyoto Imperial Hall, Yasaka Shrine, and Heian Shrine are all located near the Kama River.

Of course, the famous Kyoto University is also located on the banks of the Kamakawa River.

Qiao Qiao took Suzuka and Hayami Nanase to the vicinity of Kyoto University. She did not enter the nearby street, but walked along Kamakawa, and soon saw a small Yatai shop with no signs on it.

“This is cat ramen.”

Qiao Qiao lifted the curtain and walked into the store.

The owner is not a cat, but if you look closely, you do feel a bit like a cat.

A string of colorful paper cranes hang above the kitchen counter, swaying in the wind.

"When it is close to six o'clock every day, we will post information on Twitter about whether it will open today and where it will open."

There were not many people in the store, so Qiao Qiao found a seat to sit down.

"Boss, I want signature ramen and char siu."

It seems that I have a familiarity with the place to order.

"good."

The boss of the cat ramen responded, but his hand didn't stop.

He skillfully put the noodles into the net leak, put them in boiling soup and swirled them open. On the other side, he cut the ingredients such as char siu, bamboo wheel, etc.

"Then I want signature ramen, too."

Suzuka followed suit and shouted.

On the other hand, Hayami Nanase searched with her mobile phone for a long time, but she couldn't find any more about cat ramen.

It's like a lot of information is erased.

"What do the little girl over there want to eat?"

The boss asked when he saw Hayami Nanase hesitating.

"Then, I'll need signature ramen, too."

"good."

He made another date.

"At the end, where did Qiao Sang know about this ramen?"

Suzuka looked at the handwritten simple menu hanging in the store. In addition to the signature ramen, there were other types of ramen such as salted bamboo shoots, wakame ramen, and garlic ramen.

Prices range from 900 to 1,200 yen.

Not cheap.

The signature ramen is 1,100 yen, marked with a portion of char siu and seaweed.

Of course, there are also beers and sake, and there are also eggs worth fifty yen per.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

There are many such small shops around Yachuan, so why did Qiaoqiao choose this one?

Suzuka is very curious.

"This is recommended by the boss, ah, not this boss, but the owner of the late-night cafeteria."

Hearing the name of the late-night cafeteria, the owner of the cat ramen suddenly raised his ears.

"Late-night cafeteria?"

He sighed.

"So it's that guy, no wonder."

The boss of the cat ramen subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette, but soon stopped such behavior.

"Am I an acquaintance?"

Suzuka asked.

"That's right, I used to work as a spirit-eliminating master with him before. Oh, that's what happened twenty years ago."

The owner of the cat ramen smiled.

"I had a party in Kyushu during the Golden Week before. So, it should be Qiao Qiao?"

"Yes, I'm Qiao Qiao for the first time."

The boss of the cat ramen looked up and down Qiao Qiao.

"I always feel that it is a bit different from what that guy described. I thought it would be someone with muscles all over his body and a feeling of iron blood."

I didn't expect that he was a very kind young man.

Hayami Nanase looked at the conversation between the two and was confused for a moment.

Is the owner of cat ramen a spirit master?

Why does the spirit-deprived master open a ramen shop here?

But ramen didn't give her more time to think.

After serving, Hayami Nanase had only food left in her mind.

Unlike the ramen that you usually eat in large chain ramen restaurants, cat ramen is not very hot and has a gentle taste. The char siu is mixed with the soup, and the two flavors are intertwined. The hand-rolled noodles perfectly absorb the flavor of the soup and side dishes, making this bowl of noodles achieve a subtle harmony and unity.

Halfway through the meal, Nanase raised her head and suddenly realized that the guests around her seemed a little different.

Looking back, at the table next door, there was an office worker in suit with only one eye.

Two guests at the other table were eating ramen, and their heads had turned into a raccoon cat.

At the table opposite Hayami Nanase, a beautiful kimono in white was also sucking noodles without grace. Around her, ice crystals fell from time to time.?

etc.

Could it be that these are not really plays?

These are real monsters?

Hayami Nanase suddenly turned pale.

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Qiao had already finished eating the noodles and was very satisfied. When she saw Hayami Nanase's expression was a little strange, she asked.

"Joe, Qiao Sang, is there a monster over there?"

She pointed to the two raccoon cats who were happily sucking ramen.

"Yes, it seems that Kyoto is a settlement for raccoon cats."

"Then, the one with only one eye on the face over there is also a monster?"

"That's a one-eyed priest, a monster that only exists in Kyoto."

"That's a monster? Snow Girl?"

"I'm so smart that I can answer the questions myself."

Qiao Qiao smiled, making Hayami Nanase look very ugly, and the noodles in the bowl are no longer fragrant.

"So, they won't eat halfway and feel that the portion is not enough, so they can eat one or two extra meals, right?"

"?"

Qiao Qiao showed a slightly surprised expression.

"It's very rude to see Samsara Hayami."

"That's right, the taste of humans shouldn't be very good."

It seemed that he heard Hayami Nanase's words, and one of the two raccoon cats said.

"We are all good monsters with residence permits, so don't mess with those rural guys."

The snow girl ate the noodles and took a sip of beer.

"Thanks to the boss, we can enjoy the food like this."
