This time, I feel like doing something more elaborate, so I’m going to give out local specialties as gifts to the people that I meet at all the Comiket-related events!!
Hello everyone! I'm Kujira Rooran! Tomorrow is the day of the Comiket, but right now (the afternoon of December the 29th) I’m still in Yamaguchi Prefecture!
Fictional Persona of Kujira Rooran
Comic Market 77 Report Manga!
I’ve already decided on what to give as gifts...
But what was it I decided on again?
Maybe some kujira (whale) sausage…
These foods were sold in the era when commercial whaling was not yet banned, an era where whale meat was regarded as a cheap type of meat. Whale sausage is a type of fish-meat sausage.
Yeah, yeah, this is it.
I'll buy some food that’s related to my name...
In that case,
this "whale jerky" and this "whale stew" will be good too!
Yamaguchi Prefecture is an area that used to have a thriving coastal whaling business, and there are many whaling museums, gravesites, and Shinto shrines there to memorialize and commemorate whales.
Thank you very much for your purchase!
Your total comes to **** yen.
The last thing I bought, the 'canned whale meat' really brought the total up didn't it...
The price of canned whale meat has drastically gone up in price. Currently one can costs anywhere from 350 to 600 yen.
Most of what he actually bought to give as gifts was cheap whale sausage.
At "Billy the Kid," a steakhouse run by Mr. Kurata Tetsuo, well known from the series Kamen Rider Black, now.
OK everyone, order whatever you like!!

Well, I've finally come all the way to Tokyo for this, so of course I know what I want.
Is everyone ready to order?

OK, why doesn't everyone just say what they want in order?

Au, auuu~…
It-It's not like I'm being cheap because I'm broke or anything, ok?
It's just, I thought that if we all had something different we could switch dishes and enjoy some different foods, that's all…
In reality, this scene originally used a phrasing and a gesture that irritated everyone, but this dialog is currently being brought to you through a Suwako filter.
The steaks have arrived.
They're so huge!! Way to go Texas!!
Steaks as large as 400g (14 ounces) are not common in Japan.
Delicious!
*Gobble gobble*
The meat is so tender!!
By the way, I haven't seen Mr. Tetsuo in the restaurant. He isn't here today or what?
Yeah, you're right…
I heard that there's supposed to be a 'Kamen Rider Black steak' here, but all I saw on the menu was the normal Texas steak…
Oh
I have a call from someone who's planning to join us at the restaurant.
Hello, is this Gobaku!? I'm in front of the restaurant.
Where are you right now!?
<a href="http://danbooru.donmai.us/artist/show/47401">Take (shokumu-taiman)</a>
We're already inside the restaurant.
Take, Come in and join us!!
What? Where did you say you are? Naturally I'm at the main restaurant in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumida,_Tokyo">Sumida</a>, why?
What, it's not here?
*munch, munch*
Um...
Wh-what do you mean?
You're saying Mr. Tetsuo isn't the owner of the main restaurant...
he's the owner of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōtō,_Tokyo">Koutou-Touyou</a> branch?
And Mr.Tetsuo is there...
and they have "Black Steak" too?
Umm, everybody, uh, sorry.
It's hard for me to say this, but...
*Trembling*
Gobaku-san,
the hamburger steak you exchanged with me is really good!! Lolol.
For a time after that, needless to say, he was known as "Hamburger-Arashi" and "Go-burger Arashi."
