The second program is an outdoor scene. The selected members are divided into three teams and follow the prompts to complete challenges at tourist locations in Tokyo. The first team to complete will receive a barbecue feast as a reward.
Amamiya Souri, Shiraishi Mai, Matsumura Sayuri, Nishino Nanase and Saito Asuka were assigned to the "Saka" team.
Mai Shiraishi, who was the first to decipher the clue, happily led the team to Omotesando Cat Street to find the next instructions.
On a sunny noon, Amamiya Souri stretched while breathing in the fresh air. Saito Asuka held her arm and smiled quietly, watching Nishino and Matsumura jumping around.
The five of them had not taken two steps on Cat Street when they saw the sign. Their first task is to find the three items of coat, T-shirt and hat displayed on the sign in the Cat Street store.
Mai Shiraishi took the sign and took the initiative to take over the task. Along Cat Street, she went to one store after another and asked the boss if he had seen anything similar.
It is still difficult to find these products. The whole street is full of shops selling clothes. The clothes are displayed in a dazzling array. It is easy to be confused by the various patterns and patterns.
Finally, after being prompted by passers-by, I narrowed the search scope of the store and found the final hat based on the pattern.
After completing the first task, the following staff handed over the second clue. Clues point to a new location, Odaiba.
The group arrived at Odaiba by car, and it was already noon when they found the sign.
"Go to NORUBUNE, a Korean home-cooked restaurant, to eat all the bones in a pot." Amamiya Soi read the words on the sign.
The team members shouted happily.
Everyone was tired from shopping, but not too hungry. The program team invited everyone to eat at this time, and everything smelled like a trap.
I found this Korean restaurant in the mall. It was not yet dinner time and there were no customers in the store.
While waiting for the food to be served in the spacious and bright seats, seeing the girls jumping for joy, Amamiya Sori couldn't help but pour cold water on it in a low voice: "Isn't this some weird dish?"
"Bone stew... shouldn't be too unpalatable, right?" Matsumura Sayuri expressed doubts.
While the food was being served, Amamiya Shiori quickly checked the store's ins on her mobile phone. As soon as I clicked on its account, what I saw was a bright red photo called Bone Pot. Yes, it was the object they were about to challenge.
Secretly, she glanced at the phone screen to Mai Shiraishi. Shiraishi's eyes widened immediately, and he and Amamiya Shiori looked at each other.
"Oh, here we come!" The girls, who had already wrapped napkins around their chests, like children, applauded expectantly to the waiter who came in with the pot.
"It's been a long wait~" The waiter brought the pot to everyone. The soup was all red and dotted with green onion leaves.
"Eh?"
"spicy?"
Except for Amamiya Shiori, who had already expected it, everyone else's smiles froze.
"Excuse me, this red one is..." Shiraishi Mai asked.
"The red one is..."
"Is it spicy?" Sayuri Matsumura added.
"...very spicy." After hesitating, the waiter answered honestly.
The four of them were instantly discouraged.
This big pot of bone stew is brightly colored and looks intimidating, but you have to try it to know whether it is spicy or not. Just like the so-called Jigoku Ramen, the soup is very red, but the spiciness is very limited. It's just that Japanese people generally don't like spicy food, so they exaggerate it.
Amamiya Sugaru took another look at the merchant's Instagram, which advertised that the store's bone pot uses shichimi powder, green chili peppers and special bean paste. She instantly knew that these were very common spicy condiments and should not be too spicy.
"Can Asuka eat spicy food?" Shiraishi asked the youngest Saito Asuka first.
"That's not possible at all." Saito Asuka looked at the bottom of the pot and shook his head.
"It looks very spicy~" Shiraishi Mai looked confused, "The soybean sprouts must be very spicy."
"Let me try it first." Amamiya Sōri volunteered and scooped up a bowl with a spoon. The camera took a close-up of the bowl.
I tasted the meat slices first.
"How's it going?" Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
It's not as spicy as it looks on the surface, and it may not suit most people's tastes, but if you put it in a place where you can really eat spicy food, it can be considered mildly spicy at best.
"It's okay, it's not very spicy." Amamiya Sōri said with a smile.
"Huh-" Shiraishi Mai breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if it's not spicy."
Next, Mai Shiraishi tried. She first put the meat into a bowl and stirred it with chopsticks, trying to squeeze out the soup inside.
"I'm starting~" She carefully put the meat into her mouth and chewed it slowly.
"Is it spicy?" Sayuri Matsumura couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm... It's a little exciting," Mai Shiraishi immediately changed her words as soon as she said it, "Ahhhh, it's so spicy!"
"wooooo—so spicy!" Mai Shiraishi's expression was exaggerated, as if she was breathing fire.
"Eh?" The three of them, who had been reassured by Amamiya Sori's calm performance just now, immediately couldn't sit still.
"Ah, it's so spicy!" Shiraishi couldn't help but drink water, but the spicy taste still lingered in his mouth.
Maybe she really couldn't eat spicy food, so after just one bite, it was so spicy that she bit the towel.
"Um, waiter, can I order a drink?" Amamiya Shiori asked. Seeing Shiraishi Mai's exaggerated reaction, she didn't expect the next few people to be able to eat spicy food, so she had to prepare spicy food in advance.
"This..." The waiter glanced at the crew members, who nodded.
"sure."
"Then bring some milk."
"Okay, but only hot milk."
"As long as it's hot."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
"Is it really spicy?" Seeing Shiraishi Mai looking like she wanted to gargle all the spicy taste out of her mouth, Amamiya Sōri couldn't help but ask.
Mai Shiraishi bit her towel, grimaced, and nodded, looking aggrieved.
"I'll give it a try." Matsumura Sayuri couldn't wait to taste it. His expression was normal when he first took the mouth, and then his smile gradually solidified.
Saito Asuka also gave it a try, and ended up jumping up and down.
However, Nishino Nanase can take spicy food quite well and doesn't have such a big reaction as the previous ones.
"Guest, your milk."
As soon as a bunch of milk was put on the table, Shiraishi couldn't wait to pour a glass and handed it to Saito Asuka.
The milk's anti-spicy effect was very obvious, and the three people who were originally fidgety from the spicy food gradually calmed down.
But when they thought about there being a lot of vegetables in the pot, they became embarrassed.
"Xiao Zhi, Na Jiang, it's up to you!" I can only place my hope on the two people in the team who can eat spicy food.
So Amamiya Shiori and Nishino Nanase, as the main spicy eaters, shared most of the bone pot, and the remaining three did their best and took on a small part of the task.
Matsumura Sayuri and Saito Asuka imitated Shiraishi Mai, pouring milk into a bowl, and then dipping the vegetables into the milk before eating.
"You have to finish the soup too~ And the milk in your bowls, don't waste it!" the staff reminded the five of them as they finally finished the dishes.
"Hey - do you have to finish the milk?" The three of them were dumbfounded. The milk in their bowls had red oil floating on it because they had rinsed the vegetables, and it didn't taste good at first glance.
“I won’t give you the final tip until you finish drinking,” the staff emphasized.
They had no choice but to patiently consume all the soup and milk in order to grill the meat.
Since she had taken on most of the tasks, Amamiya Shiori was almost full after drinking the soup. You can predict how long it will take to complete the task if all of this team cannot eat spicy food.
"It's so spicy...cough cough..." Xiao Feiniao choked on the spicy taste.
"Asuka, are you okay? Otherwise, leave it to me." Shiraishi stretched out his hand to her.
Asuka shook his head and tried to finish the last bit of soup in the bowl.
With the help of two spicy food experts, the "Saka" team didn't take long to complete the task. It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon when they got the final task prompt.
The group hurried to their final destination, Tokyo Tower. With so much time, the five of them felt that barbecue was within easy reach.
However, there were quite a few twists and turns on the way to Tokyo Tower. First there was a traffic jam, and then there was road construction. People had to wonder whether it was bad luck today or a scripted arrangement.
In anticipation and anxiety, they finally arrived at a small building near Tokyo Tower. As soon as I opened the rooftop, I saw the final target sign.
However, before I was happy for a few seconds, the voice of "\Amazing/" came from above my head. It turned out that the "wood" group composed of Ikoma Rina and others had arrived ten minutes ago.
"Ah——", the "Saka" team screamed. It was obvious that they were not slow in completing the task, but they lost the game in just ten minutes.
"Thankfully we drank so much soup!" Shiraishi, Matsumura and Nishino were not reconciled at all.
