Short Story Collection: 'Beef Bowl Blonde Deck' #Three-Line Dialogue Story

A copy-paste from a certain beef bowl chain

A parent and child. That blonde guy at the next table.
I'm appalled. Ordering a 'tokumori' (extra-large) or 'tsuyudaku' (extra broth). Lured in by a discount campaign, coming to a place they don't usually care about.
This place is supposed to be more cutthroat than that.

Beef bowl. Large. Negidaku-gyoku. In other words, 'extra green onions'. This is the undisputed champion.
The strongest combination built into my order deck.
However, I wouldn't recommend it to a total amateur. You'll get marked by the staff. You guys should just stick to the beef and salmon set meal.

Consumer Finance

Salaryman finance. Consumer loans.
Taking out a repayment loan and receiving a stack of bills piled up like a card deck.

Chased by loans and unable to cook properly, I enter a beef bowl chain and get a glass of water at the counter.
“Regular beef bowl. Extra green onions.”
Even though adding toppings costs over 100 yen, increasing the onions is ±0 yen. I'm truly grateful for that.

Just scooping the rice and topping it with the beef that's been simmering. I'm always impressed by the 'cheap, fast, delicious' service method. I've already brought the tray over. I want to enjoy the delicious moment only while I'm here.

“Thank you for waiting. Here is your regular beef bowl with extra green onions.”
I have been waiting. I haven't really been waiting that long, but it's long-awaited. I take the tray and look the clerk in the eye. Oh. This clerk has beautiful blonde hair. It's glossy, very silky... and...

Silky blonde hair. Consumer finance.
Ugh, now you've gone and made me remember it.

I shove the beef bowl into my mouth with the provided spoon, overwriting the memory with the usual taste. But I've lost the luxury of enjoying it.
After leaving the store, I feel like I paid extra interest.

Green Onion Salt Beef Bowl

I was excited today. The long-awaited green onion salt beef bowl has returned.
It's cheaper than the green onion salt kalbi at a yakiniku place, yet it's filling and satisfying. Plus, the sauce is so delicious that I ended up going there at least once a day until it was discontinued.

Even though I'm so excited, my steering is more careful than usual, and I'm driving safely—perhaps because I've found a reason to keep living. I even managed to back into my parking spot on the first try.
The banner standing outside looks like it's celebrating my arrival.

I enter the store. I order the limited-time green onion salt beef bowl. I learned after it was discontinued last time that if you add 'extra green onions,' they'll give you more, so I waited for its arrival with excitement.
Three minutes later, the tray is brought over, and I peer into the bowl that has been served. I notice something strange.

Something shiny is sitting on top of the beef bowl. I can't see the beef; something that looks like metal is occupying it. If there were a terrace or a deck, it would have looked great since it's a clear day outside. But is this sanitary?

“Um, what is this?”
“It's blonde green onions.”
“What about the white-haired green onions?”
“I dyed them.”

“Um, dyed them with what?”
“They're coated with egg yolk.”
“Isn't it a bit too golden for that?”
The clerk chuckles.
“Please enjoy your meal.”
“Wait, hold on.”

They hurried back to their station. Dyeing white-haired green onions blonde is unprecedented. The final response leaves me uneasy, and there's no way it was just egg yolk. Is this what they call a 'part-timer terror'? Like they just thought of it as a play on words and mixed it in.

If so, I have to verify if it's really a terror. Time to eat.
I pick up only the golden green onions with my chopsticks. If it were just egg yolk, I feel like it would be slimy, but even when I change the angle, it stays shiny. My anxiety grows.

I tentatively bring it to my mouth and savor it. ...Huh?! It's delicious!?
The egg yolk mellows out the sharpness of the green onions and the saltiness of the sauce. It's not just that. It feels richer than the eggs I buy at the supermarket.

Next, I eat it with the beef bowl. ...Exquisite. This is the perfect golden ratio!
The green onion salt beef bowl I tasted before is still there, but the way the egg yolk mixes in is so delicious! I press the call button.

Yes, how can I help you?
This is really just the egg yolk, right?
That's correct.
It tasted very delicious, but what kind of egg are you using?
Actually, we aren't doing anything unusual. We started placing the egg yolk in the center this time, but I accidentally broke one, and when I mixed it with the green onions and sauce, it started to shine like gold.
I don't really understand the principle, but did something like a windfall happen?

You should have told me that from the start.
I apologize. Some customers enjoy breaking the egg yolk themselves, and if they refused it, it would have to be thrown away, which would be the worst-case scenario.
I see. In that case, it's fine. By the way, are you the only one who knows how to make 'blonde' green onions?
All the staff currently working here know.
If you proposed this cooking method, wouldn't it sell nationwide?
Hmm, for now, I'll just serve it as instructed.
Well, that's true too.

I had an unexpected harvest today. A golden-shining beef bowl would surely be the center of attention. Plus, the taste of the regular green onion salt beef bowl has been upgraded. It would be a waste to let this die out here. I made one phone call.

Hello. I went to investigate the green onion salt beef bowl. And so...

I participated.

For the first one, I couldn't get the copy-paste out of my head.
I wrote it for fun.

For the second one, it's from 'silky blonde hair'... 'sara-kin' (consumer finance).
Toppings are expensive, but I always end up wanting to order them.

For the third one, I used the deck as a location and wanted to make a beef bowl with blonde hair in it.
If I just put it in as is, it would cause complaints, so I made it mellow.
Green onions to put on top -> there are white-hair green onions -> green onions dyed blonde.
It might have been good to lean into horror, too. Hehe.

By the way, I think it's fine if all my hair turns white.
