AI Image Collection: Soba Shop Edition

Hello, this is Naranasuo.

This time, it's an AI image collection: 'Soba Shop Edition'.
I made these with DALL-E 3.

There have been a lot of AI image collections lately, but after finishing my 'Chronicles of a Serious Illness,' I was tired of writing, so I'm seeking a new outlet in image generation.
(Just kidding. This article actually has more characters than one episode of the illness chronicles.)

I'll be doing the SME support policy stuff soon, so please wait just a little longer!

As usual, if I just make soba normally, it won't be long enough, so the story will unfold with a little spice injected here and there.

Also, this time a rare shot appeared where she has 'Westernized,' so I'll include it at the end.

Now, let the main story begin!

(1) The steam is hot

Today, I'm taking on the soba shop!
The tips of the chopsticks are already starting to turn into soba, but let's just ignore that!

It would be better to boil them in a pot with more water.
Also, I don't think pasta belongs in a soba shop kitchen.

As you can see, she doesn't mind the piping hot pot at all, but the steam looks hot.

I knew it.
She looks a bit exhausted...
Are you okay?

In times like these, I'll switch with the boyfriend.
The boyfriend has way too much soba, his tools are very strange, and his eyes aren't focused, but fight on!

Oh boy, the boyfriend is using his powers too.
Does that have anything to do with boiling the noodles?

(2) One order of zaru soba coming up!

Once it's done boiling, I immediately chill it in ice water.
It's gotten super soggy, but I don't mind.

For some reason, I changed the bowl and it got even soggier, but I don't mind at all.
Also, that thing on the left hand wasn't a watch, was it?
That's a relief.

You have to be careful, because if you focus too much on the plating, part of your hand turns into chopsticks.
Also, there's a leaf stuck to it!
You should move that!

The shredded nori is way too long, but I'll plate it anyway without worrying about it.

The nori has turned into green onions, but I'll eat it anyway without worrying about it.
It's supposed to be for sale, but I'm going to eat it myself.

She is working hard on a prototype for 'Extra Large Pot-Baked Soba with Chicken Nuggets on Top,' an idea she had while at work.
I hope it sells well.

(3) Days with my father

Actually, my father was the owner of a soba shop, and he was a guy like this.

The chef is a bold person, so the shrimp tempura ends up looking like this.
Also, I definitely want to include tomatoes.

Naturally, after making it, I eat it myself.

Dad, that day, we made soba topped with something like olives together, didn't we?

We also made soba topped with something like a croquette or satsuma-age together, didn't we?

There were also days we made things together using strange tools, weren't there?
I mean, Dad, in this picture, you're definitely not human, you're Kamen Rider.

Huh?
Why are you crying?
Could it be...

So, an overseas assignment, huh.
A classic drama trope.
Well, I suspected she might be a mercenary from the start, though.
By the way, a plane is crashing into the building, is that airport okay?

(4) New Menu

Now, she has been entrusted with managing the shop and is firing up the employees.

She came up with a new menu item!
Bone-in meat soba!!
It's an innovative menu item where you can't use chopsticks unless you eat the bone-in meat first.

That didn't sell well, but the shop was thriving, so I guess it's fine!

(5) Conclusion

As you may have noticed, there were more anime-style images this time.

Perhaps when generating things that are less familiar to ChatGPT, like "Japanese food," the art style becomes a bit neglected?
I kept hitting the image limit recently and didn't have time to fix it, so I just used them as they were.

Here is one bonus image.
She has unusually "Westernized"!

Ta-da!

I have written "When I say 'she,' it means a Japanese woman" in ChatGPT's 'Custom Instructions,' so it rarely makes mistakes like this, but it must have been busy.
Her hair is long, too.

Oh, the father setting is only for this time.
I will change the family members to suit each work.

Thank you for watching again this time.
