Girls' Night Hot Pot Party
"Now, let's start by making broth with this. (Clatter...)"
First, I added finely crushed parts of the giant rhinoceros beetle's limbs to the pot filled with water.
I gathered them in a nylon net and put them in. It has a dark color and looks visually similar to a snow crab; it should be fine. Good broth can be extracted from these exoskeletons, similar to crustaceans.
While slowly extracting the broth over low heat to prevent it from boiling too much, I started to cut the meat from the limbs of the giant rhinoceros beetle.
"Wow... it's so transparent and has a beautiful color!"
"Indeed, but it's quite a big chunk of meat. Ezuki-san, what kind of meat is this? It looks like chicken or maybe ostrich?"
"Hmm, well, it's something similar..."
"Oh, I know! It must be emu meat!"
Yeah, ostriches and giant rhinoceros beetles both have well-developed hind legs, so they look quite similar, probably.
(Sniff, sniff) "Ah... the scent is really nice, Machi-chan."
"Yeah, a really nice fragrance."
"Oh, then it's about time. You can open the lid and take out the net inside."
"Yes! Wow, it's so red, Machi-chan!"
"Yeah, and it smells so good. I'm drooling already!"
"Hey, coach, how do you thinly slice the meat like that?"
"Oh, well, since we're doing this for the first time, I thought it would be nice to quickly dip the meat into the broth like 'shabu-shabu'."
"Oh, so that's why you bought ponzu sauce! You're doing great, coach!"
"Hahaha, well, it's the first time, so I don't know if it'll taste good. Now, let's taste a bit of what we just cut."
The thinly sliced meat was dipped into the simmering pot, making a faint bubbling sound. As we synchronized and put the meat into our mouths at the same time,
"No way! It's delicious!!"
"This is amazing! Let's toast already!"
"It's so delicious!"
Yes, a beautiful and lovely smile bloomed on everyone's faces.
Thank you, giant rhinoceros beetle.
.....
"Now, to celebrate our reconciliation... Cheers!"
"""Cheers!"""
Tonight, it's 'shabu-shabu' with the giant rhinoceros beetle. And it's convertible to a hot pot. But first, I thinly slice the rhinoceros beetle's meat, and everyone enjoys 'shabu-shabu'.
"Ahem..."
"Uh, yeah! C-Coach, please say 'ah' and feed me..."
Oh, Ruu is feeding me meat with an 'ah' since my hands are busy.
"Ah... (munch, munch) Yeah! This is exquisite! It's much tastier than eating it myself!"
"Hehehe..."
"Well, then, I'll feed you too. Be careful, it's hot. Ah."
"Mmm! Even Nina-san? Ah, (munch, munch) Yeah! This is also delicious! It's so hot it feels like my cheeks are going to fall off!"
"Oh! Then I'll do it too! (shabu-shabu) Ah! Sliiiip!"
"Splash! It's hot! No, Seki-san, that kind of ending is not. Ah! It fell into your cleavage! It's hot! Hurry, get it out!!"
After enjoying the 'shabu-shabu,' we transition to the hot pot. Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, tofu, konnyaku, and komatsuna dance in the pot, creating a colorful mix of ingredients.
With such delicious food as the centerpiece, the conversation flows. No TV or distractions, just everyone talking about whatever comes to mind. Despite my male identity, my body being female makes it a girls' night hot pot party.
Today, Nina-san, quite tipsy, teased me, saying, [I plan to remain single for life, so why don't we live together just the way we are?].
Ruu, even with her eyes spinning from her first taste of alcohol, insisted, [If it weren't for Machi-chan, I would have remained a weakling forever!] and passionately described how reliable and friend-oriented Serai-san is.
As Serai-san, showered with praise by Ruu, inexplicably turned into a crying drunk mess, she lamented, [Why do I have such bad luck with men?] while sipping her drink.
Everything was chaotic, everyone talking about whatever they pleased. But there was one common thing among us all.
That is the desire [To be understood more by everyone because we love each other a lot]. We're all scattered but connected in our hearts. Our hearts are connected, but we're all scattered.
Yet, being able to blend into such a noisy atmosphere, to be immersed in the same air, made it an incredibly joyful day for me.
