The Question of Whether to Buy Beef Bowls on the Eve of the World's End

Hey, if you were told the world was going to end tomorrow, what would you eat?

The first thing I thought of were the words of Iwai from Haraichi.

Assuming a luxurious final dinner of yakiniku or steak is just a fantasy.

If you think about it realistically, with a lead-like heaviness settled deep in your stomach, even somen would feel like chewing sand... that's a completely plausible scenario.

If that's how eating feels, then that's how doing things feels too.

If you think, 'No matter what I do, I'm going to die anyway, right?'
then you don't even feel like saying things like 'What a lovely view' or 'I want to spend my final moments in a field of flowers.'

When you imagine the 'There's no place like home♡' feeling you get after a trip, it's not very dreamy.
Well, just the fact that it's the last day means there's no dream to begin with.


So, that leaves...

'Who do I want to be with?'

I suppose.


In my case, my husband, my daughter...
But my daughter is already married, so she'd surely want to be with him.

So, should the two of us just stay home?
Or should we go to her house??

My husband would definitely say,

'That's what you want to do. Call your daughter and ask her.'

Yes, just as I imagined.

And, assuming that part goes well—

Wouldn't his parents feel the same way?
So, should we gather at my daughter's house?

...The moment I thought that, the red letters 'TROUBLE!' flashed in my brain.

Besides, traffic probably wouldn't be good on that day.
Walk there? That's a little over two hours. It's not impossible for us.

What about a gift? I don't think we should go empty-handed.
But the shops wouldn't be open, would they? Oh, maybe Yoshinoya would be open?

Everyone likes beef bowls, right?

...Wait?
What happened to the 'I can't get anything down' talk from earlier?!

And his mother likes sweets, but her husband is a drinker and doesn't like sweets.

There's also the younger sister.
The women's team gets sweets, and the men get alcohol...

I mean, seriously!
I just said I couldn't get anything down!!!



Let's calm down for a second.
Let's do what we like. Let's watch tokusatsu. Let's watch Kuuga.

...No, that's impossible.

I'm the type who hates not being able to concentrate when I'm feeling unwell,
so there's no way I could concentrate on a day like that.


So, since I can't do anything else, I'll just lie down next to my husband.
We'll probably just talk until the end!

Um...

It was fun!

I tried considering the living expenses of heroes

Are the tokusatsu heroes we admire actually struggling with their living expenses? I'm closing in on the unknown 'reality of daily life.'

Was it a curse or a stretch that got to my lower back?
