Chapter 11:

The Takoyaki Tussle

Jikirukuto: Takoyuki Arc


Aight, so boom! Lemme break this down for y'all, 'cause this whole situation was straight up dumb, bruh.
I'm sittin' there, munchin' on my takoyaki, right? Like, chillin', vibin', mindin' my business, BOOM—outta nowhere, old dude lookin' like he just crawled outta Dark Souls pulls up with the energy of a TikTok comment section troll. Man is heated. He swings at me like he's Floyd Mayweather, but like… bruh, you ain't even close! I'm talkin' 'bout air-punchin' like he's fightin' ghosts. "Ayo, chill out, Rocky Baldoa! You peakin' harder than a dude who just hit 5-star Wanted level in GTA!"
This man stumbles forward like he forgot how legs work. I hit him with the lightest forehead flick you ever seen—real talk, I barely touched him—and what happens? He wobbles like he just got smacked by a freakin' final boss! "Bruh, what you doin'? You good?!" Man's out here tryna land a hit like it's Fight Night, but I'm just sittin' back like, "Yo, this ain't even a game anymore, bro. YOU FIGHTIN' YOURSELF!"
"AND THERE IT IS! Lesson Number Two, y'all: If a drunk dude starts swinging at you, just let 'em! Half the time, they gon' take themselves out! No cap, it's like watchin' a dude rage quit after gettin' bodied in Fortnite!"
So man stumbles, wobbles, and—BOOM—my guy collapses into a chair like he just ran 10 laps around the map. And me? I'm straight-up CRACKIN' UP, bruh! Popped another takoyaki in my mouth like "Mmm, that's good. Yo, you okay, gramps? You look like you just tried to speedrun life and got clapped."
At this point, the crowd's LOSIN' it. Like, bro, they thought they was about to see a full-on WWE brawl, but instead they got me schooling this man in front of his whole fanbase. "Y'all thought I was gonna throw hands, huh? Nah, nah. Lemme teach you how it's done. Lesson Three: Don't fight Karens. Don't fight drunks. But ALWAYS make it look entertaining. Like, bro, I'm out here narratin' this man's L like it's a freakin' episode of Jersey Shore or somethin'."
Then my boy Marco comes through, tryna play the peacemaker. "Signore, please… you've had too much-a to drink…"
Bro, Marco's out here actin' like the dude's manager. I'm just tryna keep my cool, but y'all already know I had to crack my neck and act like I'm ready for a round two, all dramatic and stuff. "Yeah, Marco's right, Gramps. You're outta stamina, bro. You look like you just hit the 'Get Wrecked' button in real life. Sit down before you end up as a meme!"
And y'all KNOW I had to drop a moral for y'all. Turn to the invisible camera like I'm in a freakin' vlog or somethin', wink, and hit 'em with: "Aight, kids, listen up: Don't go around fightin' folks over takoyaki or goblin jokes. It's NEVER that serious, bro. And if a dude's too lit to function, just let him flop. It's like a free highlight reel—they'll take the L for you!"
Finally, old man slumps into his chair, defeated, and I give the crowd a lil' mock bow. "You're welcome, people. I'll be here all night—unless somebody else wanna fight me over octopus balls, in which case, I'm yeeting outta here faster than you can say 'WORLD RECORD SPEEDRUN.'"
One last takoyaki, one last wink at Marco, and we out. "Stay fresh, and remember: don't fight drunks… or goblins. Especially when you got snacks to eat. GOAT status, y'all. We out!"
