BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero

Chapter 21: Chapter 20 Delicious Ramen.



"Accelerator-kun~! The refrigerator broke today, the materials can't be used, and it's probably too late to buy new materials now."

"Let's go eat ramen!"

"The pork bone ramen shop in the 7th district was just recommended by the TV station's cooking special yesterday. According to the reporter's interview, everyone who has been there has given surprisingly extraordinary good reviews."

"What kind of wonderful taste will it be! I'm really curious!"

"How about it! Are you also very interested?"

Part-time cook Saten Ruiko looked at Accelerator with an excited face, her curious thoughts were about to materialize.

"Huh? I didn't feel any frustration about the refrigerator breaking from your words."

"Eh? No! I feel very sad about the demise of Mr. Refrigerator! But mealtime is about eating well, isn't it!"

"And the 7th district is very close to us, we just need to walk a little bit and we can eat delicious ramen! Isn't that happy!"

Saten Ruiko explained seriously.

Such a lack of sincerity and poor acting.

"And don't you want to have a big bowl of ramen for lunch? It's super satisfying!"

"If it tastes great, I can try to make it for you, Accelerator-kun."

"Please~ I really want to go."

Ruiko pretended to be teary-eyed, looking at Accelerator with a helpless and pitiful gaze. He turned his head to ignore Ruiko's attack, out of sight, out of mind.

This woman was indeed as troublesome as he had imagined. Recently, Ruiko had started to understand his character, making it increasingly difficult for him to deal with her. She was just a part-time cook, but her cooking was really delicious, even surpassing Endeavor, especially her meat dishes, which were like magic, completely crushing Endeavor and winning Accelerator's favor.

Damn it, are all Quirkless people, regardless of gender, monsters?

"Never mind, I have to go out anyway."

"Oh? Why did the hard-headed Accelerator-kun change his mind? Could it be...."

Ruiko's divergent thinking started to stir again. Accelerator never understood where this girl's 24-hour non-stop energy came from.

"It's nothing, we just ran out of canned coffee at home."

"Accelerator-kun, you really love coffee."

"It's okay, I'm a bit tired of this brand of coffee, I'm planning to try another brand."

"It feels like you like it as much as spicy fried chicken."

This woman is really talkative. Considering the taste of your spicy fried chicken, I don't want to waste time arguing with you.

"Are you going or not? If you're not going, I'm closing the door."

Accelerator had already walked to the front of the apartment door, ready to open the door and leave.

"Eh eh eh! Wait for me!"

"Really, you're not gentlemanly at all. I was thinking of brewing coffee beans for you to try."

After about a fifteen-minute walk, Accelerator and Ruiko arrived at the pork Ramen shop in the second half of the 7th block.

Even though there was a recommendation special on TV yesterday, people should be flocking to try the ramen, but isn't this scene a bit exaggerated? The line of people waiting stretched from the front of the store to a far distance.

It's still the tail end of summer, and although you can gradually feel a hint of autumn, the temperature hasn't shown any signs of dropping. Moreover, it's noon now, lunchtime, and the sun is especially hot.

"Seeing this scene, do you still want to eat?"

"Of course, we came here specifically."

"Suit yourself."

Saten Ruiko, as if prepared, took out a small sun umbrella from her lady's bag, tiptoed slightly, and held the umbrella between her and Accelerator, so that neither of them would be directly exposed to the intense midday sun.

"Hehehe, I am always ready to face challenges at any time!"

"Yeah, yeah."

Accelerator hadn't forgotten whose idea it was to come here for ramen.

"You don't need to worry about me, I don't need an umbrella."

"No way! Standing under the big sun for too long will cause heatstroke! Just because you're a boy doesn't mean you can neglect these things!"

"No, what I mean is my... Quirk prevents me from getting hurt by ultraviolet rays."

"What a convenient Quirk, I'm really envious."

Ruiko looked at herself holding the umbrella, then looked at Accelerator and sighed, seeming very helpless.

Seeing Ruiko like this, Accelerator felt very troubled and thought it would be better to do something to change the subject.

"I'll hold the umbrella."

"Eh? It's okay."

"It's awkward for a girl to hold an umbrella alone, so I'll hold it."

"Okay.. okay."

Accelerator took the umbrella from Ruiko's hand and opened it, letting out a sigh of relief as he easily changed the subject.

However, for some reason, Ruiko's face seemed much redder than usual.

"Are you suffering from heatstroke?"

"No, why?"

Saten Ruiko seemed very puzzled, completely unclear how he came up with this question.

"I see your face is much redder than usual."

Hearing Accelerator say this, as if realizing something, Ruiko's face turned even redder.

"No, no, no! That's your illusion!"

"Don't keep looking around! Look! We're almost there!"

Accelerator looked and indeed, the people in front of them had moved several steps forward, leaving a small gap in front.

It took about another fifteen minutes to queue up and sit down in the shop.

Looking at Saten Ruiko, who was full of curiosity and her glasses were shining as she stared at the interior decoration and the busy ramen chef, he really couldn't understand the mentality of these fashion-conscious people.

Well, he just hoped that the taste of the pork bone ramen was worth the queue.

At this time, the ramen of the tall, blond, and skinny uncle in front of Ruiko and him was served first.

A strong aroma of small dried fish wafted from the uncle's ramen bowl, leaving a deep impression on them.

It should be the second signature soy sauce ramen of this shop. The soup base is made from pork bones, chicken bones, and kelp. It is said that the secret of this shop's soy sauce ramen is the special addition of small dried fish, which further enhances the umami flavor.

Just smelling the aroma gives a great feeling. This is just the second signature dish of this shop. It seems that this shop's ramen is really well-deserved, making them look forward to their own pork bone ramen.

Speaking of which, the blond uncle in front of them also left a deep impression on Accelerator. The uncle was tall and wore a very wide white T-shirt and black sports pants. His blond hair had no oil and seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time. His body looked very sickly and thin, his cheeks were thin, his eyes were sunken, and his appearance looked very shabby.

But the Quirk of this world can have various effects, so Accelerator didn't pay special attention, it was just a simple impression that made people can't help but take a few more glances.

Looking forward to the already lunch, the pork bone ramen finally came on the table.

Finally, they could feast.

The ramen seemed very chewy, the sweetness of the soft-boiled egg was just right, the pork bone was stewed and the heat was perfect, it tasted really great. Even with such a flow of customers, it can still maintain this level, this ramen shop is really amazing.

The pig bones used for the soup don't look like frozen goods, the taste of the chicken bones feels like Nagoya's native chicken, that kind of native chicken is Accelerator's favorite whether it's fried chicken or soup, even the char siu is black pork, this shop can be said to have reached the extreme in terms of ingredients, it really lives up to its reputation.

Accelerator had to admire Ruiko's eye for fashion, sometimes chasing fashion can also eat great things.

"Accelerator, guess what's the most amazing part of this shop?"

"I don't know, I don't guess, as long as it's delicious."

"It's the soup, not only are the raw materials good, this soup base has been simmered for at least twelve hours."

Ruiko is truly a culinary expert, Accelerator sighed in his heart that she could taste this.

A piece of news on the flat-panel LCD TV in the distance caught Accelerator's attention.

"The NO.1 strongest hero All Might has confirmed that he will go to U.A. High School in the third city to serve as a teacher in the near future."

In the end, it came. The news that Endeavor had told him before was now officially confirmed. According to the statistics in the information that Shokuhou Misaki gave him, All Might, the strongest hero, was appearing less and less each day, and the time he showed his face was gradually decreasing. It was particularly noticeable compared to the period many years ago when "where there are criminals, there is All Might".

Looking at the worst-case scenario, Endeavor doesn't have much time left. Although the equipment adjustment has been completed, whether Endeavor can bear the whole society is a big question mark in Accelerator's heart.

"Breaking news, a violent robbery has occurred on the 10th street of the third city. The enemy, relying on his own Quirk, defeated a hero who rushed to the scene. The hero is currently seriously injured but his condition has stabilized. The enemy is on the run. We hope that the public will pay attention to safety. Other heroes from different areas will come to support."

"We will continue to follow up on this violent incident."

The 10th street? Accelerator estimated briefly, it would take about thirty minutes to walk to the 10th block. Theoretically, it's not too far, so the customers in the shop are a bit restless. After all, an enemy who can defeat an on-duty hero must have some skills.

"Excuse me, waiter, can you check out for me? I'm in a hurry."

"Coming."

The uncle in front of Accelerator called the waiter to pay the bill in a hurry. He was eating ramen slowly, but it seemed that he suddenly finished it all at once. When he put down the bowl, a little bit of oil splashed on his white wide T-shirt, but he didn't notice.

Accelerator found this scene a bit strange, but the uncle had already hurriedly paid the bill and left.

About less than fifteen seconds later, a tall and muscular blonde hero appeared on the TV.

All Might actually appeared in the third city ahead of time? Everyone was surprised at his appearance. Amid the cheers of the crowd, All Might knocked down the enemy with one punch.

Accelerator thought the enemy was too weak to see the depth of All Might.

But why does that T-shirt look so familiar? It seems to have been seen somewhere? Is there a problem? All Might.
