Chapter 9:

Platinum Coin Flex: How I Accidentally Bought a Takoyaki Empire

Jikirukuto: Takoyuki Arc


Alright, yo, lemme break this down for y'all! So, picture this, right? I'm out here, stomach sounding like it's tryna beatbox or somethin', pullin' up to this takoyaki stand, feelin' like a boss 'cause, y'know, I got that platinum flex. But Mustache Tony over here? He out here actin' like I just dropped a nuke in his stall! Man's sweatin', shakin', like, bro, CHILL! It's just money!

I'm like, "Aight, bruh, here's the deal—take the coin, gimme all the takoyaki you got, and let's keep it movin'." And Tony, STILL laughin'—I'm talkin' like he just heard the best dad joke of his life—goes, "Deal! I'll-a throw in some extra for your-a generosity!"

BREAKIN' NEWS: "Hey yo, to all my fantasy travel bros out there—listen up! Don't be out here pullin' a 'Yuki Special' tryna pay for a $5 snack with a whole freakin' platinum coin. That's like walkin' into McDonald's, tryna cop some fries with a straight-up Lamborghini. You don't do that! You look dumb, fam!"

So, I hit him with that, "Thanks, my guy. And my bad for the mix-up. Looks like I gotta study up on Fantasy Finance 101, y'know what I mean?"

Tony still lookin' like I gave him the plot to the next Marvel movie, and he's like, "No sweat, Miss! Just remember, one of those coins could legit buy me a whole village."

At this point, I got enough takoyaki to feed an army, and I'm thinkin', Bro, this better be the best thing I ever ate, 'cause that was one EXPENSIVE snack!

BREAKIN' NEWS (AGAIN): "Ayo, lesson for the day—if you're out here tryna drop racks on some street food, make sure you KNOW what your money's worth. Don't be that clown who drops $10K on a Taco Bell burrito. But, when you're ballin'? Sometimes ya gotta overpay just to flex, fam. Extra snacks, baby! THAT'S the real W!"

So I'm smackin' on this takoyaki, right? Like, mmm—this stuff hittin' DIFFERENT! And I look at Marco, my boy just watchin' this whole circus like it's his favorite TV show. I'm like, "Yo, Marco! This takoyaki SLAPS, but lowkey? Kinda reminds me of that goblin I clapped the other day."

Marco tryna act like he don't care, but I KNOW he wanna hear the tea. I hit him with that, "Bro, that goblin looked like a freakin' sun-dried raisin that got ran over by a cart, then dipped in vinegar. I'm tellin' you, I almost YEETED on the spot!"

Then I go right back to chowing down, like nom nom nom—ain't even care. Yo, this takoyaki slappin' so hard, I might just go bankrupt for it again.

Moral of the story? ALWAYS secure the extra snacks, baby! LET'S GOOOO!
