僕は雑食なので身体に毒ではない限り肉も野菜も食べられるのだが、世の中には人間の姿形をしているのに肉食の人種がいるらしいです。僕の予想だとお店のラーメンが大好きで食べに行っている連中が肉食人種だと思います。お店ではラーメンの出汁を取るのに骨や肉を利用するからです。まあ僕は貧乏なんで即席ラーメン程度しか食べないのですが、ある日、偽物と思われる父にチャーシューメンを振る舞いました。するとどうでしょうか、父？は感覚が研ぎ澄まされるかの様にシャッキリとしてご機嫌になり美味しいとチャーシューメンを残さずに食べました。父？の周りの霊は騒ぎました。『おいしーい！元気出る！！』『背脂ミナギルぅーーー！！！♪』『うめ〜！にくー！！本物の肉ぅー♪』『冴え渡るぜーー！！』と元気MAXの様で凄く元気になりましたし、精神的に安定して、しばらく攻撃して来なくなりました。
僕はある日、浄化の為に古来よりの方法で塩を使ったのですが、なんと塩ではありませんでした。味はしょっぱいし、見た目は塩なのですが比較的に塩より水に少し溶けにくく、石鹸で洗った時に油を吸収して固まったのです。僕の予測ではこの塩を利用して料理をすると油を吸収せずに排泄時に出してしまうのではと思いました。僕の様な雑食にとってはダイエットにもなり健康的になるのですが、肉食人種にとっては栄養補給が出来ないので食事をしても痩せ衰えて行くのではと思います。
何故、僕の家の塩になっているのか分かりませんが、浄化に使うので止めて欲しいです。しかも神棚にお供えする物ですし迷惑です。僕は思うのですが、こんな特殊なダイエット食品は塩より高価なのではと思いました。
I am omnivorous, so as long as something is not toxic to my body, I can eat both meat and vegetables. However, it seems that there are people in the world who look human but are actually carnivorous by nature. My guess is that those who love going out to eat ramen at restaurants belong to this carnivorous type, because ramen broth is made using bones and meat.
Well, I am poor, so I usually only eat instant ramen. But one day, I served chashu ramen to someone I believe was a fake version of my father. What happened next was surprising—my “father” suddenly seemed sharpened and refreshed, became cheerful, and ate the entire bowl of chashu ramen, saying it was delicious.
The spirits around him became excited, shouting things like:
“Delicious! I feel energized!!”
“The back fat is powering me up!!!”
“So good! Meat! Real meat!!”
“I feel so sharp now!!”
They seemed to reach maximum energy, became very lively, mentally stable, and stopped attacking me for a while.
One day, I used what I believed to be salt for purification, following a traditional method. However, it turned out not to be ordinary salt. It tasted salty and looked like salt, but it was slightly less soluble in water, and when washed with soap, it absorbed oil and hardened.
My hypothesis is that if this substance is used in cooking, it might not allow oil to be absorbed by the body and instead be expelled during excretion. For someone omnivorous like me, this could even be healthy and help with dieting. However, for carnivorous people, it might prevent proper nutrient absorption, causing them to become thin and weak even if they eat.
I don’t know why such a substance has replaced the salt in my house, but I want it to stop, especially since I use it for purification. Moreover, it is something meant to be offered at my household shrine, so it is quite troubling.
I also wonder—wouldn’t such a special kind of diet substance be more expensive than regular salt?
