Since when did these exist? And how did he not know about them???? He loves curry, so how was he not aware of A CURRY FESTIVAL. It's not like it's a secret event, a LOT of people go there yearly. So he's going to go see for himself just what this festival is all about.
And even Ango knew about this festival, since he told him about it, like what?! How did he know about it, and Oda didn't?! It's not fair. But anywho, he's going anyway, he's not wasting a chance to eat some delicious freshly made curry..
——————————
Once he got there, he was astonished.
Everything
and I mean
everything
was curry themed. There was curry in every single direction, where are you supposed to start from?! Oda decided to start from the first stand closest to the entrance, which was a shop with homemade spicy curry. He's tried a lot of spicy curry, so he thought to start off with the one he's most familiar with.
It tasted fucking amazing, it was everything and even more! How did he never taste such curry? He almost wanted to get more, but he bought a jar of it to take home, and went alone on his journey to find more delicious curry to try.
Next, he went to a stand that sells afghani curry. He's heard it's a spicy dish, but has never been able to try it. He saw that there were hot peppers and chillies, with not a lot of sauce, which means it was a stir fry..
As soon as the dish touched his tongue, he thought it would be spicy, which it was, but the flavours blended so perfectly that it made it seem like any normal tasting curry with extra spice, which was just odas taste. It was delicious.
Oda tried a few other curries, which ranged from sweet, to fresh, but he's never heard of this kind of curry. Jaipur, medium spiced with mint . He thought it would taste weird, but the flavours actually complimented each other to some extent, but it wasn't really to his taste.
He'd been to about 20 stands already, and he still felt like he could eat more curry, which he did, the next stand said “kashmiri curry” he looked at what was inside the curry, and he was shocked, dried fruit, with nuts and yoghurt which gives it a kind of spice . It sounded like a bunch of stuff that wouldn't go together, in a curry. But he decided to give it a shot, just to see if it was good or not
When he took a spoonful, he was surprised, the flavours, somehow, made sense! How is that even possible, but he didn't really care, it was delicious.

Later, when he thought he should go home, he saw two familiar people, Dazai and Ango, walking around with curry in their hands, and they were walking towards him, smiling.
When they reached him, Dazai spoke up
“Odasaku look! We bought you curry!” Dazai seemed very happy, but tired, with the sweat on his forehead
“Did you now?” Oda replied
Oda looked closer, and was that the curry was from all the stands he tried curry at, which meant they were following him…which is kinda weird, but free curry is free curry (sorry)
“So…you were following me?”
“Possibly..but hey, we got you curry!” Dazai said happily, grinning giddily

Oda sighed, and they gave him insane amounts of curry, and they went back home, with bags full of curry, and had curry for dinner. Nights like this were always perfect.
