SlurpMaster Universe: Four Around One Bowl, Huru’s Perfect Bite

HANILAB UNIVERSE · SLURPMASTER

Around
One Bowl

On the night the golden road ended, a little bell jingled over the restaurant door. For the first time, four friends gathered at one table to share a single bowl. This is the fourth story of the HaniLab universe, and the last scene of the SlurpMaster universe.

This is the third scene of the SlurpMaster universe. In the previous story, a single noodle that Huru slurped up became a golden road above the city, and the stickman, Boseul, Hani and Huru’s heart all ran along it together. This post begins after that road unraveled and vanished at the restaurant door. Every scene is imagined, but the numbers about SlurpMaster’s rating bar and star bonus are exactly as in the real game.

At the restaurant door, the noodle road loosened into a single wisp of steam and was gone. Boseul took hold of the door handle, and the little bell above it jingled. Warm light spilled out, and the white-line stickman and Hani pressed close behind Boseul to peer inside.

Huru, sitting at the counter, turned around with his chopsticks still raised in the air. Steam curled off the tips of the noodles, but for a while he couldn’t eat. He just blinked. He had been running beside these friends the whole way, and yet it felt as if he were meeting them for the very first time.

Hani spoke first. He held up a little jar of honey and fluttered his wings. Boseul sat down next to Huru and pushed her raincoat hood back, and the stickman leaned over the bowl to watch the steam. Without a word, Huru slid the bowl into the middle of the counter. It meant, let’s eat together.

Huru picked up his chopsticks, and the three of them held their breath. As the noodle neared his lips, his mouth pursed into a little O, and in it went. Golden sparkles burst in every direction.

“PERFECT!”

No one could say who shouted it first. Boseul threw up her arm, the stickman hopped up and down, and Hani flapped his wings and clapped. Huru beamed, a noodle still in his mouth.

By the time the bowl was empty, night rain had begun to fall outside. The four of them sat in a row on the long bench by the window: Boseul next to Huru, then the stickman hugging the honey jar, and Hani at the far end with his game pad. City lights blurred through the rain-beaded glass, and the lanterns swayed warmly overhead.

Just by eating from the same bowl, strangers became neighbors.— The SlurpMaster universe

All four jumped up at once and threw their arms in the air. White steam rose in the shape of a heart, and Huru’s cheeks glowed as red as they do when he eats noodles.

That night, the SlurpMaster world gained a new family: Huru, a child who loves noodles far too much, and gathered around him a yellow raincoat, a white line and a bee in glasses.

After the lights went out in the restaurant and the rain stopped, somewhere in the city the next page of Hani’s notebook rustled. Who will the next doodle to wake up be?

From one bowl, the story spread to four.
The story of the hive grew one cell sturdier.
