Labyrinth Restaurant

Napolitan.

Japanese-born, Japanese-grown pasta dishes that bear the name "Naples" but have nothing to do with the Italian city. Whether the unique sweet flavour with tomato ketchup suits the tongue of the Japanese, this dish is so popular that it is widely served in authentic restaurants as well as coffee shops, and specialty Neapolitan shops exist.

This is the Demon King's restaurant. Busy lunchtime is over safely and, as usual, there's a relaxing and peaceful time flowing...... I thought

"Well, it could indeed be a bad way when it comes to the devil -..."

Rarely and truly rarely, Lisa seemed grumpy and foolish.

I'm coming to the store today as a customer, not a clerk, but instead of ordering anything after lunch, I'm whining to myself. The other day, I just spent every day in an upbeat mood after my college exams were successfully completed, and I felt an extra big difference from the current situation.

She is also naturally human, so that naturally can be angry or sad, but those emotions are either the kind that builds up patiently inside. So if you're going to build up to the limit and explode, you don't even know the story, but I can tell you that it's very rare to put stress down like this.

If it's a requirement of urgency, you should say it from Lisa, who was judged to be harmless because he wasn't tangled up with anyone else, and was abandoned by Alice and the Demon King, who were busy until just now, but you can't just not talk to a boulder if your job calms down.

"I was just telling you what the devil was going on, are you talking about cooking?

"Uh, can I ask you what happened?

Asked by my best friend Alice and her lover, the Demon King (who is still secretly socializing with her family at this point), Lisa can't be unanswered either. No, I know you were going out of your way to ask the two of you for your stupidity at the time you were coming to this store, but she seemed quietly waiting for the store to calm down and talk slowly.

"That's what I was talking about yesterday..."

That's how Lisa started talking about the cause of her frustration.

Well, it's not even that long.

Yesterday, Lisa worked in the kitchen of her parents' western restaurant for cooking.

She is still a young girl named Critical High School Student, but when she started helping the store as a primary school student, she is counted as a first-line force in the kitchen, even if not to her father or grandfather. I was having a busy but full time quickly creating the items of the order that part-time waiters and waitresses had taken.

"It's no big deal for a store to get out of the way like a Napolitan, what are you talking about!

It's not the kind of wack Lisa was told to face directly, but you think one guest was complaining about this, even if it was loud enough to reach the kitchen?

Well, there are really a certain number of customers in trouble if you do business with them.

If it's a violence-inspired "this world," there's another different solution, but in Japan we really have to deal with it peacefully.

Well, such a troubled customer is cautious out of the picture, and is endlessly strong on the store side where the person has to leave poorly, but is often weak on the person who doesn't. When I was stared at with a killer glance from regular people all over the store, it meant I left to run away.

"So you're saying you can't forgive me for making fun of the store?

"Yeah, I don't care that way...... oh, no, I don't care, but I can't forgive you for damaging Napolitan's honor more than that!

Also, it's a lot of annoying angry stuff.

Lisa's problem is the honor of the dish itself: the Neapolitan, not the store.

Anyone wouldn't be amused if they denigrated anything they liked, but she also looks in trouble not knowing how to return the question Alice asked if her angry point was too surprising. That would be so. No matter how many former and present demon kings we have, we have never had the experience of engaging in an honor restoration movement for pasta dishes.

"Right. In the meantime, find out where the complaining guest is, leave no evidence, infiltrate late at night, and then magically gognaw his brain and say, 'I was a native Neapolitan lover. You can't live without a Neapolitan' and brainwashing... but if you just persuade me, I can't do it at all."

"So, I can..."

"But that's probably not what Lisa's talking about, is it?

"Yeah, I am. So you shouldn't do it by mistake, right? Right?"

Alice has offered an extremely immediate solution, but that is certainly not the way it is being sought. I was a little curious about Lisa what Alice's reign was like during the Demon King, but I made the wise decision that it seemed better not to ask, and now I ask the Demon King.

"Demon King, Demon King, don't you have any good ideas?

"Hmm, right..."

He looks swallowing as usual, but he doesn't seem to have a one-shot reversal name for the Demon King either.

In the first place, what is the restoration of Neapolitan honor? It does not seem to have reached a good understanding from the fundamental part that Well, that's not impossible either. The position of Neapolitans in Japan is too special, and it will be difficult for foreigners, from different worlds, to know precisely.

Clearly unlike traditional recipes from Italy and other European and American areas, so-called Japanese-style pasta with roe and natto is also crisply different, even though it originates in Japan. I thought it was for kids because of the sweet flavoring of tomato ketchup, and if you look around in a coffee shop or something, all you're ordering is middle-aged and older generations. Unbenevolent strife between the Bacon and the Wieners. Should powdered cheese or tabasco be sprinkled from the beginning, or should it be served at some point and enjoy a change in flavour?

When it comes to pasta, it should be important to add or subtract noodles, and even if it's a store that's nerve-focused on Ardente for other menus, you can fry pre-boiled things in a frying pan when it comes to noodles for Neapolitans. I thought that its exquisitely stretched noodles might be tamed with ketchup flavors and how well they taste and delicious...... too special for pasta dishes, the more seriously you think about it, the less you know about waxes.

Few enthusiasts are enthusiastic, but I guess it's never surprising that there are traditional pasta fundamentalists who turn down the way, so neutral.

"Well, isn't it best to appeal to the tunnel for good? That kind of value can change quite a bit in ten or twenty years."

"Right. Maybe even more new variations of the Neapolitan system."

"I knew you'd settle down around there."

The final conclusion is unmistakable content, which is not particularly wacky: the name proposal.

If the Demon King and Alice are concerned about it, it's not impossible to use forceful means to turn anti-Napolitan factions across Japan into tolerants, but it would be a reasonable place to land, as it would be difficult to gognaw the brain miso and alert the spirit to weird influences.

But how long has Lisa's frustration also subsided when she was uncommonly visible and angry about whether it was a good idea to talk to her without accumulating, and by the time she left, she was completely back to her usual.

Talk to you later.

Then years later, when I totally forgot I talked about that.

There was a little Neapolitan boom in Japan.

Nothing. It's a total coincidence, not a wack involving Lisa or her associates. Well, the Showa boom and all that, it's not very unusual in itself to draw attention to a particular area. Features such as stores serving delicious Neapolitans on TV, magazines, etc., and easy and convenient recipes at home are featured.

Even "The One Bridge of Western Food", where Lisa works as a cook, had a slight increase in the percentage of orders for Neapolitan than usual, which also had a slight impact on purchases.

Such a thing, one day.

"Enjoy your meal, it was delicious.... No, I'm really sorry"

"Yes? Thank you. Come again."

"Earlier customers, you were so full of food"

"You really like it. Is that it? Speaking of which, is it like he saw it somewhere?

When did you change your doctrine? You think only an old stock part-time waiter noticed that a customer who ketched on the menu some years ago had done a beautiful flattening of a large selection of Neapolitans?
