“I’m sooo hungry dude, I don’t have anything for tea on rice though… I got it!, tea on fries!”
The thought of tea on fries was conflicting, would it taste good? Or would it taste like crap, who knew? Idk Atsushi never saw anyone do it before so he would be the first he supposed.
“Let’s seeee, some potatoes Kunikida got at the store earlier and some eggs, soda, cream cheese, eh I only need the potatoes.” Atsushi said to himself while looking in the fridge.
As he grabbed the potatoes he then softly (not really) threw them onto the kitchen counter making some of them fall, it’s not that big of a deal he didn’t need those ones anyway!
Then shuffling around the kitchen looking through all the drawers and cabinets for ten minutes Atsushi then shoved his head and arms to the back of a dusty bottom cabinet that no one ever uses and found… A single packet of tea!!, although it did say it was made twenty years ago it should be safe to eat, right?
”Eh, this should be safe to consume, i just have to heat up the water for it now.”
He went to grab a cup from the cabinet across from him and filled the cup to the brim then spilling half the water on the ground because of that, it should be fine though, it’s not like anyone was gonna slip or anything, yeah totally not..
Reaching up to put the cup of water in the microwave and setting the time to 40 seconds, then Atsushi slipped and fell on his left leg after he closed the door, he quickly got up after he fell and gripped onto the counter so as to not fall again.
Then heading back over to the end of the counter where the potatoes sat grabbing a knife that was previously set out and started cutting them, big mistake was not using a cutting board and second mistake was cutting off his pointer finger, luckily he used Beast beneath the moonlight before anything else happened to it like an infection, but he did still put a bandaid on it afterwards.
Getting back on track and getting the tea finally ready Atsushi set it to the side while he got a pan out and put it on the stove which he set to high heat and put olive oil on the pan to make the fries and then just throwing the potato slices onto the pan they actually caught fire after five minutes on heat, and in panic Atsushi threw more potatoes in, not helping at all whatsoever but it was fine, everything was fine, and he turned the heat down to low after about a minute so that the fire alarm didn’t go off.
And by no surprise that batch of fries was overcooked and then the second batch was wayyy undercooked because the heat was so low.
Atsushi eventually got out one of those plate bowls and put some of both batches of fries on it and then dumped the now very lukewarm tea on top the fries then going over to the back counter where there was salt and sugar and sneezing so hard that he ended up slamming his hands on the counter and spilling and mixing the flower and sugar, it should be fine though.
Grabbing a small handful of the mixture of salt and sugar Atsushi put it in the tea on fries, after that he added a few more random seasonings and garnishes to top it off, even though he knows full well that’s not gonna make it taste any better.
And after all the blood sweat and tears shed during the making of this tea on fries it was time to show it to the rest of the agency who were probably wondering what was going on in the kitchen, opening the door and going out into the office Atsushi, now covered in dust, water, oil, and blood, holds out the plate of tea on fries in his hands.
”Tea on fries anyone?..” the long awaited question had been asked.
”Sure, I’m outta snacks anyway.” Answered Ranpo who already knew it was going to taste terrible.
”Wait a minute Ranpo, ATSUSHI WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?” Spoke the not so excited Doppo Kunikida.
”That’s what i was gonna ask too, what exactly is that supposed to even be Atsushi..” Now even Junichiro was joining in on the conversation, as well as having a super confused look on his face.
”Yoink!, Ackabdifiafspbinhhhhh….” Dazai came from behind Atsushi and grabbed a handful of the soggy fries.
”Dazai, hows it taste?”
”Disgusting man, completely awful sorry dude. But ewwww”
”Guess that’s it, Tea on fries was a bad decision, because now I’m not just starving but the kitchen looks like there was a mini explosion and i should stick to baking, wait a minute.. where’s my bandaid?”
looking towards Dazai who is pulling the former mentioned bandaid out of his mouth.
”Eh, found it.”
