Megami Buchigire - Chapter 38

Curry rice.

It is a dish far removed from its origins in India, but in the first place this dish reached Japan through the Western world and not from India directly, so the great disparity can be understood somewhat.

As explained previously, there is no ‘curry’ dish in India, as the word is one invented by foreigners to refer to stewed dishes that utilize spices from Indian cuisine. The one who invented curry powder in order to make curry easier to cook and eat is the people famous for fish and chips (the oil. all the oil!!).

And by the way, though last time I babbled about how ‘us Japanese like to put everything over rice so it can’t be helped” but it turns out that it was already like that by the time the dish crossed over from the English to the French into ‘curry au riz’. That is what I learned just the other day.

There are things that even I don’t know really

” Isn’t this curry a bit too sweet?”

The one who said that after taking a bite of curry rice is Tsukuyomi-sama. With the location in mind (Takahamagahara), everything about this scene seems a mismatch. But he’s a Japanese god, so it can’t be helped.

“Mugah?!”

“Hm? Ahh, sorry about that, Tsukuyomi-sama. I mixed up yours and Amaterasu-sama’s.”

“I see. Since Ane-ue can only eat the sweet kind after all.”

“Agah?!”

After hearing the explanation from Toyoukehime-sama, Tsukuyomi-sama pushes the dish away. Incidentally, the reason why Amaterasu-sama can only eat the sweet kind is solely because she can’t handle spicy, and by no means is it because she has a child’s tongue. If she tries really hard she can withstand up to medium spicy. Easy peasy.1

“Mogah?!”

“By the way, Tsukuyomi-sama. Are we meant to ignore the bamboo roll that’s been groaning and rolling around beside you since a while ago?”

“”

Toyoukehimsama’s words prompt Tsukuyomi-sama to turn a disgruntled look towards the gagged and completely trussed up person who is his actual macho younger brother.

When their eyes meet, he receives an unusually serious plea for help, but Tsukuyomi-sama merely silently shakes his head and sighs.

“I was trying my best to ignore it, but I suppose something this big can’t be ignored for long huh.”

“Does Tsukuyomi-sama dislike Susanoo-sama?”

“It’s not that I dislike him, but the only one who can do something like this to him is Mother, right? I just do not want to get involved.”

“No, the one who did it was Amaterasu-sama.”

” Come again?”

The surprising truth causes Tsukuyomi-sama’s eyes to widen.
