[#Weekly Short-Short Note Table Topic: Sharp Chikuwa] One Character Difference

“Please be really careful, it’s sharp.”

She says as she sets out the home-cooked meal.

“What are you talking about? Everything looks delicious and soft.”

We’ve been dating for a month. I’m having dinner at her place.

“By the way, where’s the dog?”

To fill the silence, I bring up her pet dog.

“Oh, that’s right, where did it go? Maybe over there?”

While she looks for it, I gaze at the dishes on the table. She said her cooking was average, but the food is casually arranged using everyday ingredients. The chikuwa, for instance, is sliced finely and sharply, serving as a stylish salad topping. Just as I’m feeling impressed by her cooking skills, something soft brushes against my feet. It was a Chihuahua.

“Oh, how cute.”
“Ah, be careful because it’s sharp...”

I say, “It’s okay, I won’t drop it,” and as I lift the puppy up and bring it close to my face, the Chihuahua opens its large mouth and bites into my throat.

“Gah!”

“I’ve been telling you, my Chikuwa-chan has sharp teeth, so be careful.”

“Chikuwa, how many boyfriends have you bitten now?”
