âJust what is that dissatisfaction on your face, Kintoki!â Raikou pouted, as she listened to her sonâs complaints. âOf course mother ordered you the childrenâs meal! Iâve been informed that it contains all of the nutrients that are needed in a growing boyâs diet!â
The advertisements that she had seen on TV had had the companyâs mascot assure as much; with the âBig Burger Badgerâ swearing by the restaurantâs commitment to ensuring healthy eating habits. And while she was not normally one to put blind faith in the words of a talking animal, the proof seemed quite evident upon perusing their menu. Besides the all-natural farm raised beef patty, the burger also contained a generous portion of vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Why, it even came with a sliced apple on the side.
âWhatâs more⊠I cannot recall you ever being one to complain about toys. Did we not visit that gachapon store together just the other day? Shall I remind you of how you begged me for a little extra spending money?âÂ
Sighing gently, she clicked her tongue dismissively.
âAs for my meal⊠Well⊠Iâll have you know that this is no ordinary burger! Mother has ordered the âHoney Badger Emperor Deluxeâ, a burger so massive that few mortal men and women are even capable of challenging it! As was decreed by âBig Burger Badgerâ himself: anyone who shall prove themselves worthy of consuming the entire thing will be immortalized forever with their photograph hung on these hallowed walls for all eternity! And, more importantly, theyâll win a very cute Golden Badger plushâŠâ Â
   He felt like he should tell her that, as a dead person, he canât actually grow anymore-- and besides that he was an adult man-- but he already knew she wouldnât listen to him.
But the toy part...! The toy part was a big deal!
âHey, toys are another matter, ya know?! A man ought to buy toys of his own volition, not be given them âcause heâs beinâ treated like a child...!â Kintoki pauses to take a bite into his kidâs meal, eating 3/4ths of the burger in the process. â... Me begginâ ya for some spare change is completely different, too--â
â... But, anyways, I get it now. Boss... setting aside the whole kidâs meal, you ordered that Honey Badger Golden Emperor Deluxe with me in mind...â the man nods, a smirk returning to his face. âBoss...! Yer really considerate, ya know that?!â
   ... But, Kintoki looks over at the burger with a slight grimace.
âIf it were up tâme, Iâd eat that in a heartbeat, but... I donât think Iâve ever seen you eat something that big before. You, uh, sure you can take it, Boss?â
