Syusetsu Kohaku and Three REJECT Colleagues Run a Ramen Shop Sim to Level 20 in Six Hours

REJECT — Syusetsu Kohaku and three fellow REJECT talents, dtto., Rosec_pin and Mikami Kon, spent a six-hour stream on Wednesday running a restaurant in a Japanese ramen simulator. By the end the shop had reached level 20 and had room to build a second floor.

The evening opened with the four sorting out the game lobby, and with the group crediting Rosec_pin with the stream’s thumbnail. Service was rough from the start. Ingredients were bought one scallion at a time, noodles ended up on the floor, and a customer complained that the soup had gone cold. The group apologized in character, then ate the leftover bowls themselves.

Early on, the participants found the shop’s cash had drained away. “All the money is gone,” one of them said, and the cause turned out to be gambling. They traded blame, with Rosec_pin among those named, and the denials were still going hours later. At one point someone joked that the stream would end if the balance went negative. The shop was back in the black not long after.

As the days went by, the shop picked up beer taps, gyoza, chashu pork, seasoned eggs, rice and a widening menu of soy, miso, chicken-bone and dried-sardine broths. The four split the numbered tables among themselves and chased thieves out of the shop. A set of toilets brought a pile of messy items that the participants threw at each other. Customers then dried up, and the group blamed the mess and took the toilets out.

Near the end the group called one more round, then sat down to eat the ramen they had made. The stream closed with thanks for nine Super Chats and a note that an Endfield event was set for the next evening.
