Happy New Year, one and all! I hope you are all staying warm and finding good luck in the dawn of this brilliant, fresh year of dreams~! 🌼🌸❀✿🌷 In the spirit of that, we have more delights to help them all come true!

First of all, is our monthly special - ✨✨✨ ramen! ✨✨✨ Yes, ramen at an ice cream shop. I assure you it's a match made in heaven. Come in from the cold, warm yourself up with ramen ...

... then, once you're nice and toasty, cool yourself down again with some of our delicious ice-cream. We've got ✨✨✨brand-new flavors!✨✨✨

Our blue flavor of the month is Bubblegum surprise! We also now have gelato, thanks to a illiant-bray idea from an anonymous fan. The cappuccino mocha gelato is Senku-chan and my favorite, give it a try!

Stop by our Creamistry: Ice Cream & Soda Shop today.





And lastly, shhh, don't tell anyone; but it's Senku-chan's birthday today. Come and wish him a happy one, won't you?

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

[ Gen is humming and, sometimes, even singing to himself behind the counter of their ice cream parlor, wiping down the counter. He'll brighten when someone comes in. ]

Welcome, welcome! What is your desire, my dear friend?

"Oh, are you sure? Well, then..." He asks for a small sample of the cinnamon sugar, hot chocolate marshmallow, and gingerbread ice cream.

He still doesn't intend to have a whole thing, but it'll be sufficient whet his appetite for the next visit!

"Oh, well, then give your partner my thanks, as well! The decorations are lovely and your establishment feels very welcoming." He was sure the food would follow suit! "And in the mean time -- pork ramen seems like a fine start. I don't want to go too far out of your stated norms for this fine eatery, after all!"

Apparently out of no-where, with a magician's flourish Gen was suddenly holding three sample spoons, and he dutifully handed Ralsei little spoonfuls of the three flavors. The cinnamon sugar had swirls in there, adding a textural element for the sugar; the hot chocolate marshmallow had a marshmallow swirl going through the rich chocolate ice cream; and the gingerbread was spicy, rich flavor through the whole spoonful.

"Which is your favorite?" Gen wondered. He grinned playfully. "You can also sample other flavors too, if you'd like. The world is your oyster."

He hummed, looking quite pleased with himself. "I'll pass along your thanks to Senku-chan. And thank you, I quite enjoy the task of decorating~!"

Gen turned then to go fill up a generously-sized bowl of the soup, putting in the noodles and toppings into the broth before winking. "If you let me know where you'd like to sit, I'll set down the bowl for you, my dear."

"I think... probably the marshmallow!" He smiles back just as broadly, settling down in a chair carefully nearby. It had a particularly light flavor... "If you're interested in feedback for other flavors, I think a marshmallow-caramel ice cream would do particularly well. I've made candies like that myself, and they're very good."

"I'd love to sample more but -- I don't want to spoil my appetite for the ramen!"

The scent of the ramen and the ice cream itself had served to whet his appetite, so he sat eagerly at attention, rapt and waiting. When the dish arrived he dug in promptly. Any further questions would take a bit of time to answer!

"Mmm. You have excellent taste, my dear," Gen shamelessly flattered his customer, going for a little sample-spoonful of the hot chocolate marshmallow to eat for himself. "Whether I prefer cinnamon-sugar to marshmallow truly depends on my mood, but I do have a sweet tooth."

Gen winked at Ralsei. "Of course. And hopefully the ramen won't spoil your appetite for the ice cream after, hmm?"

He set down the bowl carefully in front of him and took a step back, not distracting him further. This ramen was made like their best ramen crafted for their village at home; savory pork, springy wheat noodles, salty and rich broth. It's a crowd-pleaser. A truly excellent idea for them to win over allies with in the real world, years ago; and now to find new friends and allies in the dream world. Food was a brilliant diplomatic weapon.
