Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Chapter 29: Misfortune Ramen

Valkyrie Profile is more like a platform game than a traditional role-playing video game.

There are 24 playable characters in the game. However, some of them can only be obtained in hard mode.

Lenneth is the primary protagonist of Valkyrie Profile, a recently awakened warrior-maiden and servant of Odin, who has been tasked with recruiting the einherjar to fight with the Æsir in their war against the Vanir and prevent the destruction of Asgard in Ragnarok. Lenneth is one of the three goddesses of fate (the other two being her sisters, Hrist and Silmeria) the three apparently share the same body, though only one is awake at any given time and can be distinguished by their hair color and armor.

Loki is revealed to be the final antagonist of Valkyrie Profile. He is half-Æsir and half-Vanir by blood. Although he has been accepted by the Æsir, he is not completely trusted by either side. Odin and Freya sealed his power so that he remains a young version of himself. He seeks the power of the Four Treasures, which will give him the power to challenge Odin.

Yuuki was working 10 person work by himself. He made his physical stronger with 'Arc of Embodiment', it was easy to make this game himself, but he needed to teach everyone.

Yuuki had instructed both Eriri and Tsubasa who help him drawing the characters within the game.

Yuuki had also told Utaha about the gameplay this game. She had to make each scenario in the game. He was unsatisfied several times and made her very frustrated. He kept telling her to change the story until he was satisfied.

They were working until late night forgetting about the time.

"It's already very late, how about you sleep here?" Yuuki offered. They could sleep in his manga studio and he would back to his apartment but his word being misinterpreted by Eriri.

"Wh-what? Do you want to sleep with us after you dressing up us?" Eriri liked a cat whose tail being stepped on.

"Yuuki, really? Do you want to sleep with us?" Tsubasa was blushing.

Utaha was calm since they had slept together in the past.

"Is it only hentai thing that is on your head?" Yuuki looked at Eriri with a tired expression.

"HEY! WHO IS THE ONE WITH ONLY HENTAI THING!!!" Eriri was angry.

"I didn't tell you that I'll sleep together, I'll sleep on my apartment in the next door," Yuuki said.

Eriri was blushing that she was misunderstanding him.

"The-then, tell me earlier!" Eriri crossed her arms and turned her head.

Yuuki shook his head in response, 'A girl in puberty is a pain'.

"I'll call my dorm manager," Tsubasa took her cellphone. She talked for a while and gave an 'Ok' sign to them.

"I'll call my mother too," Eriri called her parents.

They were looking at Eriri who was blushing hard.

"WHO IS STAYING IN MY BOYFRIEND HOUSE!!" Eriri threw her phone away and Yuuki caught it.

"Hey! Be careful," Yuuki almost being hit by her cellphone.

"Please, take care of our Eriri," A voice from the cellphone said.

Yuuki wanted to answer it but Eriri stole it first and closed the call.

"I'll sleep here," Eriri said while gasping.

"Sure," Yuuki nodded.

Yuuki helped them to set up a futon on his manga studio. He was quite hungry and asked them whether they wanted to eat with him or not.

"Ha? Eating at night? Do you want me to get fat?" Eriri said.

"I still try making my muscle like you so I'm not eating, Yuuki," Tsubasa said.

"No, my weight is increasing because of you!" Utaha looked at him with a hateful gaze.

Yuuki nodded and didn't mind that they wouldn't follow him. He went back to his room to take his jacket.

Yuuki came out and searched something good to eat. He was walking around the street and found someone he didn't expect.

"Hey! Koizumi!" Yuuki shouted and Koizumi turned her head.

"Yuuki," Koizumi nodded.

Yuuki didn't want to eat alone, he thought it was better to eat with someone.

"Do you want to eat something?" Yuuki asked.

"Yeah," Koizumi nodded.

"Do you want to eat together?" Yuuki asked.

"I don't mind but I'll be the one who chooses the restaurant," Yuuki nodded in response.

They walked together and arrived at the shoddy ramen store.

"Ramen Ogura 'so good, it's to die for'?" Yuuki looked at Koizumi, "Do we eating in here?" The store was just too shabby.

Koizumi didn't talk and entered the store.

Yuuki could only sigh and followed them.

"WELCOME!!!" A big old man greeted them.

Yuuki and Koizumi sat in the counter but the chef stopped him.

"Onii-san, can you not sit in there? That place is a memorial place of my loyal customer," The old man said.

"Yeah, I don't mind," Yuuki changed his seat, "So, Ogura-occhan, what is the most favorites ramen here?" The name of the store was Ogura, so he thought the old man name was Ogura.

"Hahaha, the most favorites ramen in this store is..." Before Ogura said it Koizumi beat him first.

"Yama Ramen That's so Good to Die for," Koizumi said.

"Hahaha, Ojou-chan, you know your stuff," Ogura was smiling, "How about you, Onii-san?"

"Call me Yuuki, I'll have the same as her," Yuuki had also wanted to try that menu.

"Ok! Two Yama Ramen That's so Good to Die for!!" Ogura was cooking the ramen.

When Ogura was cooking the ramen, Yuuki asked Koizumi.

"Do you what is so special about this ramen?" Yuuki asked.

"The ramen in here is cheap, tasty, and the bamboo shoot is absolutely marvelous!" Koizumi kept talking and Yuuki quietly listening.

The Ogura-occhan was also joined in one or twice in their conversation.

The ramen was almost ready and both Yuuki and Koizumi were ready to eat it until they heard the door of the store was opened.

"WELCOME!!" Ogura-occhan greeted them.

Yuuki turned his head and his face started to go pale. He had never thought his trip to eat ramen would meet this death god.

"ACHOO!!" The old man with a mustache sneezed.

"Ah, it's chilly isn't it," Ogura-occhan said.

Yuuki didn't look at the old man with a mustache but the little kid who come together with him.

"Ah, it's onii-chan!" The little kid was surprised seeing him.

Yuuki twitched his lips several times for meeting him twice.

'Oh, God, why you let me meeting him,' Yuuki wanted to escape from this store.
