[Thankfully, Ryuu was about to test a new broth, rather than some new invention. Some sort of vegetarian blend, or was it vegan? He wasn't sure, but he figured why not.]

Well, I mean, I guess you could just use a fork like some foreigners do? But it's really not all that messy if you know what you're doing.

[Slurping was the only way to do it! Besides, the noodles don't go flying if you do it right.]

Just make sure you got the noodles within the chopsticks space, or bite into it if you don't think you can slurp up the whole thing. See?

[He gave his a go... and then stopped halfway to stare at his bowl disapprovingly, biting and using the chopsticks to put the noodles back without splashing. He swallowed and frowned.]

That was the plainest bowl of ramen I've ever tasted.
