Chapter 3 – Bitter & Sour Mayonnaise
[Intro...]
Men clad in black. One of the very few who still carries with them a sword.
The Shinsengumi.
An organization responsible for putting down dangerous rebel groups, thugs and criminals in Edo.
The three most prominent figures of the organization are their Gorilla--, errr aherm, r-reliable Commander: Kondou Isao, their demonic Vice Commander: Hijikata Toushirou and their sadistic Captain: Okita Sougou.
They are the Shogunate's own special police force. Some people often refer them as the Shogunate's dogs. Whatever it is that the higher-ups say they'd do it without fail. Such is the nature of their force.

Finally...
After a week of mountain-load work, I finally have my day off.
A day just for myself. It's been a while since I could have a one. Trouble sprouts nonstop with the rebels and amanto's here and there... Hah. What was I expecting? This place is rowdy and messed up at the first place. Heh. We'd be unemployed if that weren't the case.
To start this day, I eat at my favorite shop. After this, I'll go to the movie house and then head towards the sauna. I had it all planned. This is just how my day offs goes.
Putting out my cigarette, I entered the eatery and sat down the counter.
"Old man, the usual."
After recognizing me, the shop owner happily answered, "Coming right up!"
All there is left is to wait.
I heard the customer beside me asked the shop owner, "Special?"
The owner replied, "Yes Miss. When you become a regular here, I'll do you a favour and make your own special dish. Anything you like." He pointed at me and added, "This Sir here is a regular you see."
Regular... Of course. I come here as many times as I can. I like this shop. The owner knows my taste preference so well.
This place is crowded than usual.
"Here you go. One Hijikata special."
Good. Here it is. The dish I've been waiting for.
A bowl of rice topped full with mayonnaise. Ahh... Magnific!
*gulp* The bitter sour flavor is just so hard to resist!
The moment I took my first bite, I noticed the evident pressure --- Someone's staring at me.
I'm used to this. I'm used to getting attention from eating such a dish. Since that is so, I already know what their eyes look like. Nothing worth looking at. Just some eyes brimming with terror and disgust.
I always hear people say things like...
"That's disgusting."
"You EAT that?"
"Yuck."
Girls would scream and ran away from me. The boys at work would wince away every time I eat. Onlookers wouldn't even glance at me.
