Flavor Concentration Booth

(12/29/2017)

**Flavor Concentration Booth** (味集中カウンター, *Aji Shūchū Kauntā*?) is the eighth chapter of the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series.

## Summary

Worried that Koizumi-san is becoming friendlier towards Jun and Misa, Yuu begs to eat with her at the ramen shop of Koizumi-san's choice. Eventually, they meet together at a shop that has no meal ticket machine, but rather flavor concentration booths - seating counters where orders are taken personally and where one can eat in complete privacy. Having few booths available, both Yuu and Koizumi-san take the available seats, which are separated from one end of the shop to the other.
Ramen Salad

Manga

**Ramen Salad** (ラーメンサラダ, *Rāmen Sarada*?) is a ramen dish featured in the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san series. It is a local specialty of Hokkaido, and is commonly believe to have originated at the Sapporo Grand Hotel beer hall, where the dish was created. Ramen salad is soupless and contains more vegetables than it does actual noodles, which is the opposite of most hiyashi-based vegetable ramen where the noodles outnumber the toppings. In essence, it is cold salad mixed with ramen-based noodles, and can include whitebait, nori, and such dressing options such as mentsuyu, monzu, and seasame oil.
Osaka (Chapter)

**Osaka** (大阪, *Ōsaka*?) is the twenty-sixth chapter of the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series.

## Summary

Koizumi-san arrives by bullet train to Osaka and eats at a ramen shop, while a woman nearby watches her. The following day, several men in the city are aggressively hitting on Koizumi-san, when the same woman steps in to save her and pull her into safety. After thanking her, Koizumi-san eventually reveals that she traveled to Osaka just to eat their ramen, to which the woman responds by saying there is nothing unique about her city's ramen. Koizumi-san disagrees, and after explaining to her about the dishes that are served only in Osaka, she excuses herself and leaves the woman, only to find the same men waiting for her. Having no choice, Koizumi-san allows the woman to be her escort in the city and takes her to various ramen restaurants. She tells Koizumi-san that her name is Ayane, and that she had quit her job from a company in Osaka, and will soon work in Tokyo with the help of her relatives. Ayane's brief time with Koizumi-san had sparked happy memories of drinking and eating ramen with her friends in Osaka - she hopes to work harder at her new job in Tokyo. Finally, on the day Koizumi-san is supposed to leave for Osaka, Ayane gives Koizumi-san her contact information, revealing that her last name is Osawa. Several days later, she confirms her suspicions after Yuu tells her that her cousin had spoken to Koizumi-san.

Eventually, she continues her upward climb and finally reaches the peak. She meets an elderly couple who asks Koizumi-san to take their picture, which she does. They then ask her if she would like a polaroid taken of herself to commemorate reaching the summit. Koizumi-san declines, saying that climbing the summit was never her goal. After saying goodbye to the couple, Koizumi-san climbs downward and eventually finds a small shopping center with a ramen shop nearby. She walks inside and orders a shoyu dish.

Koizumi-san then echos an answer given by mountain-climber George Mallory, when asked why he climbed Mount Everest: She had climbed the mountain "because ramen is there."
Tofu

Manga

**Tofu-as-Noodles** (麺が豆腐, *Men ga Tōfu*?) is a ramen dish featured in the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san series. It references a dish made by *Tachikawa Mashimashi*, a Japanese restaurant. The dish is similar to Ramen Jiro-style ramen, except the difference is that tofu is served in place of noodles.

Nakamura Misa

**(The following contains spoilers.)**

* Manga
* Anime
* Drama

**Misa Nakamura** (中村美沙, *Nakamura Misa*?) is a prominent character in the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san series.

## Appearance

In the anime and manga, Misa wears purplish-pink twin-tails and has pink eyes. She has brown hair in the drama.

## Background

Misa is a first year student and in the same class as Koizumi-san. She is friends with both Yuu and Jun, and the three are often seen together as a group. Misa lives with her parents and three younger brothers, including Kenta, a middle-schooler, and both Shinta and Rinta, who are twins.

She enjoys shopping for the latest fashions and can be seen as the object of envy among other girls. Misa also has two other friends who are nameless in the series, and both of them act as her "lackeys", often praising Misa despite envying her beauty. And like Koizumi-san, her beauty make her popular with boys, but this fact also makes her unable to land a boyfriend because they fear that her looks give her too many "options."

Among her friends, Misa refers to herself in the third-person.

## Personality

On the surface, Misa has a cute, bubbly personality and a great sense of fashion. Under this facade, however, she is very protective of her popular image in school, and is jealous of Koizumi-san for the attention she receives after transferring. Misa feels that she has to compete with her, as she is often seen as a "backup" among the males who were rejected by Koizumi-san. Oddly enough, Misa has a tendency to reject many guys herself despite yearning for romance.

Whenever she feels threatened by Koizumi-san, Misa can become angry and boisterous. She is often reluctant to have Koizumi-san for company, even if accompanied by Yuu and Jun. But after first being introduced to ramen through Koizumi-san, Misa will usually forget her animosity towards her and simply enjoy eating her noodles. Misa once had a strict dieting regime that she followed in order to stay in shape, but that was ruined by Koizumi-san. In fact, Misa will confide in Koizumi-san for beauty advice even if it involves eating a certain bowl of fatty ramen to have an effect.

Misa later reveals that she always yearns for stimulation in her life, which is the reason why she is a fan of spicy foods. While she was in middle school, Misa and her mother would go to a ramen shop together, where her mother would order ramen with a "level 7" level of spiciness. Misa eventually picked up her mother's habit of eating spicy ramen, even though her mother insisted that "kids should only eat level 3 ramen." Gradually, Misa's habit would slowly develop from there, up to the point where she would now always order the spiciest ramen dish available.

Hard Clams

**Hard Clams** (ホンビノス, *Honbinosu*?) is an ongoing chapter in the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series. It is a special chapter that appears in the 2017 Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san special issue of Manga Life STORIA.

## Summary

Yuu has planned a special ramen surprise party after school in the home economics room, and only invites Koizumi-san. Seeing a figure walk up the door as she is making ramen, Yuu happily greets Koizumi-san, having just made a dish out of hard-shelled clams. She tells Koizumi-san that she got the idea after secretly overhearing her and Jun talk about clams in the library.

As Koizumi-san listens, Yuu explains that she used the clams that she caught on a boat to make an American-inspired clam chowder soup. She used her cooking expertise to make home-made clam chowder ramen, which is a dish that is only sold seasonally in Japanese ramen shops. While eating her own dish, Yuu tells Koizumi-san to start eating her ramen before it gets cold. She then asks Koizumi-san if it tasted okay, and was relieved when she said "yes." Yuu also asks if she could come again tomorrow.

In reality, however, Koizumi-san was not actually there, and that Yuu had been talking by herself the whole time. The figure still standing by the door was in fact Jun, who stares in astonishment as her friend keeps talking to an empty seat with a bowl of ramen in front of it. Apparently, Yuu was pretending, or was somehow convinced, that Koizumi-san was there with her.

The next day, Koizumi-san receives another text from Yuu, asking her to join her again in the home ec room. Jun pleads with Koizumi-san to finally accept Yuu's invite, fearing that Koizumi-san's rejections might be affecting Yuu psychologically.
An Extra Helping of Dreams

**An Extra Helping of Dreams** (初夢マシマシ, *Hatsuyume Mashimashi*?) is the forty-second chapter of the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series.

## Summary

It is New Year's vacation and Yuu, Shuu, and Ayane are at a ramen shop, having all woken up at four in the morning and still drowsy. Shuu finds it rare that his sister would go out and eat ramen right after the new year's, although Yuu secretly wanted to find some way to connect with Koizumi-san during the holiday, or at least hopes to receive a New Year's greetings from her.

As she ponders this, Yuu all of a sudden sees a flying, miniature fairy that looks exactly like Koizumi-san. She introduces herself as the "toppings fairy," in which she uses her magic to increase the portions of a certain ramen topping. Yuu watches in amazement as the fairy adds more vegetables and pork fat to the dishes of nearby customers, but becomes worried when they all become fat as a result. The fairy then uses her magic to make the dish healthier by making tofu appear in their ramen, and the customers all return to normal. She then turns to Yuu and tells her that she will cast a special New Year's spell for her, causing a rice cake appear in her ramen dish. Yuu gladly eats her ramen, but wonders if the miniature fairy is able to eat the human-sized dish in front of her. Wanting to leave no food wasted, the fairy dives into her dish with chopsticks in her hand, horrifying Yuu who witnesses Koizumi-san plunge deep.

Shuu suddenly wakes Yuu up, and asks her to not childishly sleep while she eats. Yuu realizes that it was all a dream, but was happy that she was able to somehow meet Koizumi-san in it. But as she comes to, she notices Ayane with tofu in her ramen and Shuu with a rice cake. It was there that Yuu comes to the realization that Koizumi-san was actually there and that her dream with the fairy might have been reality.

Koizumi-san is outside in her normal human form, passing by the ramen shop Yuu was at.

Prórrogas

## **Prórrogas de la misión y posibles finales de esta**

En abril de 2008 la NASA decidió prorrogar la misión Cassini al menos un par de años más, habiéndose conocido esta prórroga cómo *Misión del Equinoccio*, ya que durante ella tendrá lugar el equinoccio en Saturno. Durante esos dos años, Cassini realizó sesenta nuevas órbitas alrededor del planeta anillado, veintiséis sobrevuelos de Titán, siete de Encélado, uno de Dione, uno de Rhea, y otro de Helena. Esta misión extendida se divide en cinco fases: alta inclinación, transferencia de 180 grados, observación del equinoccio, lunas heladas y ocultaciones de asa a asa, y observaciones del polo Norte de Titán.

Se propuso también prorrogar la misión hasta el año 2017, fecha del próximo solsticio en Saturno, lo cual ha sido finalmente aprobado por NASA. Dicha nueva prórroga de la misión ha sido bautizada como *Misión del Solsticio*.
Se han barajado diversas opciones para el destino final de la sonda Cassini que incluyen hacerla impactar contra Saturno como ocurrió con la sonda Galileo una vez acabada su misión en Júpiter —no en principio factible, ya que, si se hace en una trayectoria a través del plano ecuatorial del planeta, la presencia de los anillos hace probable la colisión con las partículas que los componen, perdiéndose así el control de la nave—, estrellarla contra cualquiera de las lunas de Saturno (descartado,
debido al calor generado en la colisión y por sus reactores nucleares,
el cual podría perturbar posibles formas de vida —particularmente en los casos de Titán y Encélado—), situarla en una "órbita de aparcamiento" en la que no exista riesgo de colisión con ninguna otra luna, sacarla
del sistema de Saturno mediante sobrevuelos de Titán para acabar incluso expulsándola del sistema solar. Sin embargo la opción que se ha tomado, y que ha recibido el apoyo de una buena cantidad de científicos de la misión, es enviar a Cassini a
una órbita de muy alta excentricidad que la llevará entre la atmósfera del planeta y el anillo D, a través del espacio de 3800 kilómetros que hay entre el planeta y los anillos y en la que, tras realizar 20 de esas órbitas, será precipitada contra Saturno, ardiendo en su atmósfera el día 15 de septiembre de 2017, evitando así los riesgos de contaminación biológica mencionados, siendo de esta manera este el destino final de Cassini y el último objetivo y el final último de la misión.

**JAZMIN**
An Unfamiliar Dish

**An Unfamiliar Dish** (未知味の拉麺, *Michiaji no Rāmen*?) is the eighteenth chapter of the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series.

## Summary

One night in her room, Yuu writes down the latest entry in her Koizumi-san observation diary. She witnessed Koizumi-san eating cyan-colored ramen that looked like a monster from western animation, while Yuu herself ate the equally exotic chocolate ramen.
Capas internas de Saturno

= Las capas del interior de Saturno

 =

```
 	      Como aparece en la imagen, en los planetas gigantes no hay superficie, tan sólo un cambio gradual de la atmósfera.

```

La mayoría de los gases que forman
 Saturno, cambian a estado líquido dentro de Saturno, pero este es un
cambio muy lento. Esto significa que los planetas gigantes no tienen
capas definidas al igual que los planetas terrestres.

Las secciones líquidas de Saturno comprenden la mayor parte del
planeta, y van hasta muy adentro (¡este líquido no está hecho de agua!).
 La primera capa líquida dentro de Saturno, justo debajo de la
atmósfera, es la capa de hidrógeno líquido. Por debajo de la capa de hidrógeno líquido hay una capa de hidrógeno metálico líquido.

En el interior profundo se encuentra el núcleo de Saturno.

Empire of Leharta

Common Distoran

**Leharta** is a powerful empire in Distora, situated in the Mountains of Midpass. Its vast territory spans the width of the continent, from northern to southern banks. With the Empire's militaristic attitude, it splits Distora in two - an eastern and a western half. Leharta is informally known as a hermit kingdom, for its spitefulness towards other nations and generally cold attitude - a stance it has adopted since its defeat in the War of the East.
Estrellas fugaces

Las **estrellas fugaces** (o **meteoros**, que es lo mismo) son **pequeñas partículas** (normalmente,
 entre un milímetro y varios centímetros) que al entrar a gran velocidad
 en la atmósfera de la Tierra se "queman" por la fricción (en realidad
el brillo se debe a la ionización del aire a su alrededor) y producen el
 trazo luminoso que surca rápidamente el cielo y que llamamos estrella
fugaz.

**Su aspecto es muy variado.**
 Pueden brillar mucho o poco. Su trayectoria puede ser corta o larga.
Algunas pueden dejar una estela unos instantes y otras no. Normalmente
son bastante rápidas (¡desaparecen antes de que nos dé tiempo a
decirlo!) pero también las hay lentas, que pueden durar varios segundos.
 En ocasiones pueden mostrar algún color: rojizo, verdoso, azulado, etc.
 según la composición química del meteoro.

El **origen** de estas partículas está en **los cometas**, que a su paso van perdiendo material y dejándolo tras de sí.

Si la partícula es **grande (unos centímetros),** el meteoro será **muy brillante** y recibe el nombre de **bólido**. Lo que vemos brillar es la bola de aire ionizado que los rodea. Los
 bólidos pueden ser espectaculares por su brillo, que puede hacer que se
 vean incluso de día. Algunos pueden fragmentarse durante su
trayectoria, presentar destellos o pequeñas explosiones, o hacer ruido. Con frecuencia dejan una estela persistente durante unos momentos (es el rastro de aire ionizado que dejan atrás), o una estela de
 humo. A veces pueden brillar lo suficiente como para verse detrás de
las nubes, y entonces veremos éstas iluminarse al trasluz unos
instantes.
Oyster

Manga

**Oyster** (牡蠣, *Kaki*?) is a ramen featured in the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san series. It references a dish made by *Tsukiji Yajima*, a ramen shop located in Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market. One of many "limited-availability" ramen in japan, oyster ramen is only served between October and March. Its soup is shio-flavored, and toppings can include oysters, menma, chives, and mushrooms.
List of Monarchs of Leharta

The Empire of Leharta had been, for centuries, ruled by a very long line of monarchs. Leharta, for all its animosity towards the world, still remains strong and one of the greatest powers on the entire continent of Distora. Founded in 180 BC and still going strong, the monarchy of Leharta remains the longest continuous monarchy in the entire world.

## House of Jehosaphat

Though there are disagreements on when, exactly, the nation of Leharts truly starts, many count the founding of Jehosaphat to be the starting point for the empire itself.

Jehosaphat itself was founded by a man known today as "Lord Oort," also known as Oort I, the king of a supposed group of mountain peoples who were the ancestors of the Lehartans.

 Oort II
 Oort III
Too young to rule at time of coronation;
 Electra I

## House of Pluto

Electra I, elderly at the time of her coronation and her rather plentiful rule, passes without an heir. Jehosaphat is inherited by her brother, King of Midpass. The Kingdoms are united into Leharta.

Oort V unfortunately met his end at the hands of the army of a disgruntled nobleman who would go on to change the course of history.

## House of Eridanus

The brief civil war that began with the death of Oort V nonetheless caused a three-year-gap between kings of Leharta. In that time, Kiuper pacified the loyalist forces of Leharta (often by simply winning them to his side bloodlessly) and returned to Jehosaphat in order to be crowned King of Leharta.

Notably about the House of Eridanus, it has become something of a tradition to name the next monarch in line after Sloan Eridanus, Son of Kiuper Eridanus, and peacemaker of the War of the East. Eventually, "Sloan" would become a precedent - for instance, a king being named "Sirius Sloan Eridanus."
Ramen Salad (Chapter)

**Ramen Salad** (ラーメンサラダ, *Rāmen Sarada*?) is the fortieth chapter of the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series.

## Summary

Ogawa Noa is a transfer student from Hokkaido who doesn't have any friends in her class. As she sits outside during lunch, Noa notices Koizumi-san across from her, eating cup noodles by herself. Noa, who herself is eating ramen salad, is somehow happy that she may have found a kindred spirit, someone who is solitary just like her. As she contemplates, Koizumi-san suddenly appears inches away from Noa, eyeing her ramen salad. Bewildered, Noa doesn't know what to do, except listen to Koizumi-san give her various, detailed facts on ramen salad. Impressed by Koizumi-san's knowledge of ramen, she happily offers some of it for Koizumi-san to try.

Yuu appears to both of them and chimes in with her experience of making homemade ramen salad. She takes an interest in Noa due to her cuteness and offers to be her friend. Then all of a sudden, Misa and Jun appear before them, and when Misa angrily asks who the girl Yuu is talking to is, Noa runs away scared.

Eventually, a couple of Noa's classmates become impressed that she had spoken to someone as popular as Koizumi-san, considering that hardly anybody at school has ever talked to her. When they ask Noa to join them, she is overjoyed and thanks both Koizumi-san and her ramen salad for helping her make friends.
Axa

The **Axa** are one of eighteen clades of Elejanh, and of all of them, they are possibly the most distinguished. While other clades form tribes or clans, withe settlements largely growing to include more than several families, the Axa, along with the Swushida and the Takamo, constructed five of the greatest cities of Vetana. Interestingly, the Axa, Swushida and Takamo are also the three races that possess the best affinities for pathomancy.

The Axa impose their rule upon Vetana through the Alomaic Oligarchy, ruled by the so-called "Axa Oligarchs."
Recet Dyruri

**Recet Dyruri**, former detective serving the Xikarian Amalgamate and current agent of the the Triad, is a celik originally hailing from the Celik nation of Biora.

## Personality

Organized, easily stressed, and a stickler to the rules, Recet Dyruri is irritable, to say the least.

He is a man of action and a thinker, able to see the world for its rules and therefore able to (hopefully) adapt accordingly. For this, he is a valuable member of the Triad.

Recet is also technologically adept, owning the Triad's main form of transportation, and maintaining all of their equipment. He seems to rather enjoy the simple motions of upkeep. Whether this is for his love of orderliness or simple time to think alone is up for debate. Possibly both.

Recet is often at odds with Touo Aleko, who is typically the more impulsive and physical of the two. At the end of the day, however, he and Touo get along well - though in times of stress, there is the occasional bursting of the dam.

In contrast, Recet seems to look up to the Triad's leader, Solindas - reasonable, quiet, and stoic, Solindas is almost a role model for the yet-young celik. That being said, they, too, have their disagreements - especially over morally ambiguous missions. Recet, in spite of his irritability and distrust of others, can often barely bring himself to take a life. Solindas sees no issue.

## Biography

### Early Life

Recet Dyruri was born in 6903 XY to a poor family in the nation of Biora. Still young at the Unification, Recet came of age in a time of great turmoil, especially in Biora.

He eventually joined the Bioran Police and rose through the ranks to become a detective, earning much-deserved recognition and eventually being relocated to Upper Someka, capital of the Amalgamate. Several years into his career, he managed to halt an assassination attempt on Emperor Tilus Achova, earning great praise, recognition, and the Medal of Faith for his efforts.

### Flesh and Blood

In the year 6923, Recet was sent on his first mission outside of Xikarian territory in order to investigate the theft of experimental weaponry by Remainder Rebels. The mission was initially simple: interrogate the sole Jorro'kil Pilot who had survived the attack, Vessen, and attain the information needed in order to pursue the investigation further. Yet Free Absolute freedom fighters attacked the station and facilitated Vessen's escape.

Recet conceded to join forces with Vessen's brother, Reis, and his caretaker, Rakera. However, his journey was cut short as his ship was shot down over a desolate world invaded by the Hithe. Though he and his allies survived the initial crash, Recet did not make it off the planet alive. Reis and Rakera were left to fend for themselves, Recet suffering a cold, spiteful end.

### The Revival

Recet was rescued on the brink of death, his body remade and his mind preserved.

Wirou, the Great Collector, rebuilt him seemingly of charity.
Totality

**Totality** is one of many names to describe all of existence, and all that exists within space and time. All of Totality is intimately connected, allowing for interdimensional travel... Under the correct circumstance.

## Properties

Totality is the medium through which existence and progression simply *are*. That is, Totality is made up by all of spacetime, and spacetime persists through and expands totality.

Totality itself has few rules: only that there is space (of some sort) and that there is time (also of some sort). Through this, completely unique and separate universes are created and persist, each one developing their own physical laws in their creation.

## The Grand Archivist's *The History of All*

It is the mission of the Grand Archivist, and all who follow them, to document all of Totality - whether it be for the better, whether it be for the worse, or whether it be for some manic obsession.

**Excerpt from Chapter I: *Ex Nihilo***

*"If a tree falls in a forest, but nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?*

*This is the History of All, and the situation of the Era of Pre-Creation. Nothing is known to be alive in the Era of Pre-Creation; it is thus assumed that there was nothing. Nothing - no time, no space, no dimension or the means through which to experience the nothing. All that is known is that the nothing changed."*

**Excerpts from Chapter II: *Ab Aeterno***

*"The Primeval Mind, as it is now known, was the first of all the minds. Composed of all matter, all time, and above all else, all souls, the Primeval Mind was Totality, and Totality was the Primeval Mind."*

*"...and in less than an instant of life, the Primeval Mind tore itself into shreds."*

**Excerpts from Chapter III: *Oderint Dum Metuant***

*"It was the death of the Primeval Mind that allowed for the birth of all of Totality, and for the birth of Souls."*

*"The largest shard of the Primeval Mind .... desired an ultimate, singular soul ...."*

*"Entropy is the nature of the soul."*
Lost Sonen

The Empire of Sonen, now simply known as **Lost Sonen**, is the government-in-exile of an ancient empire of the same name.

Sonen, once the sole Vil-Nolwikkan nation, was uprooted from its homeworld of Lanipus by the first Archlord of the Vil-Nolwikkan Greater Dominion, Delodosius I. In modern times, Lost Sonen is little more than a loose coalition of Sonenese nationals and their territorial possessions. The Current monarch of Sonen, Qaitalla Di Soneni, holds mere ceremonial power, and is largely under the influence of the Vil-Nolwikkan Greater Dominion.

Yet the Sonenese are strong, and tales passed through their generations tell of a time in the future that Sonen will return home, uproot the Archlord, and retake their rightful throne of the Vil-Nolwikkans.

## Timeline

1611 BR - Jihak Alahaal founds the nation of Sonen.

1550 BR - Anomala Kaaros Di Soneni establishes Sonen as an Empire.

620 BR - Ourias Di Soneni, perhaps the greatest Sonenese Emperor, is crowned.

Irok Tobusi

**Irok Tobusi** is a veteran of the War of the Burning Flags, as well as the current governor of Yelesnan. Tobusi is primarily known publicly for his detailed journals describing his experience as a Yelesian soldier, fighting against Rajaian forces, becoming a POW, and escaping from captivity into the Midian Mountains. For this and more, Tobusi is something of a war hero, if not a cultural Icon. Tobusi is a devout Amalgamist, supporting the Xikarian Amalgamate, the Emperor, and their endeavors.
List of Kings of Rajai

The Kingdom of Rajai, true to its name, was ruled by a long, prosperous line of Kings prior to its incorporation into the Xikarian Amalgamate in 6909. This is a complete list of these kings, from the most ancient to the most recent.

## House of Etsar

The tribelands were conquered by a celik by the name of Etsar Etsar, Chief of Someka, united into a singular Rajai, inspired by the example of the newly-formed Empire of Pura. For the years following the unifications, the Kings of the House of Etsar waged many wars against the tribespeople they had conquered, until a Rajaian identity began to form.

The House of Etsar is the longest-reigning house, before its extermination by the House of Xix who succeeded them. In modern times, there are still claimants of the Etsar family, though these claims are unfounded.

## House of Xix

A 12-year civil war - the Second Rajaian Schism - followed Oble's death, with Oble's son, Eras, fighting a defensive war from Dilayy invader, Irah of the House of Xix. Irah succeeded, and in his victory, exterminated all surviving members of the House of Etsar.

 Egh
 Ninv
 Sixis
 Zigwin

## House of Eiru

Zigwin's tyranny inspired rebellion within Rajai, with people from around the nation rising up against him in his later years. Haherah Eiru was one such rebel who rose above normalcy, becoming the rebel leader that would depose Zigwin, and end the much-despised reign of the Xix family.

 Iquano
 Galix
 Ixim

The latter years of Ixim's reign saw trouble brewing. The Xix family still lived, angry and vengeful at their loss to Haherah Eiru a century and a half prior. The Xix family led a republican uprising, deposing (and later murdering) Ixim, and founding the First (And only) Republic of Rajai.

## House of Xix (Restored)

Six Ministers later, the Xix resurfaced publicly in a coup, deposing Minister of Rajai Atax Araku and instilling the latest of House Xix, Rehus Xix, onto the newly-reestablished throne of Rajai. Throughout this new reign of House Xix, they wouldn't be quite as tyrannical, working to rid Rajai of the republicanism that they themselves had induced.

## House of Achova

With the death of Zig and the rise of the Achovas, history repeated itself. Rajai experienced an unequaled era of peace and prosperity with the crowning of Wedrix the Peacemonger.

 Iat I
 Quasan
 Ahadri
 Iat II
 Rhea | 6840 - 6887

Rhea Achova only reached his middle age before his poisoning at the hands of his future usurper, Ruza Ryne'ki.

## House of Ryne'ki

There was only ever one King of Rajai belonging to the House of Ryne'ki; Ruza Ryne'ki did not survive long enough to establish his own dynasty. Ruza's children live on as pretenders to the throne, though many now live peaceful lives within the Amalgamate.

## House of Achova (Restored)

After the deposing of Ruza Ryne'ki, Tilus Achova, one of the last two surviving Achovas, took the throne. Tilus was the last King of Rajai before its incorporation into the Xikarian Amalgamate.
The Triad

**The Triad** is the name for an alliance between three people: Recet Dyruri, Touo Aleko, and Solindas. Organized by Wirou but now completely independent, the Triad makes their living by completing quests and commissions for particularly rich customers.

It is composed of misfits: an unfaithful Vil-Nolwikkan, a spiteful, lost Celik detective, and a defective Metallurgist warrior who no longer wishes to serve the Idyll. In spite of their personal differences in ideology and values, necessity demands that they band together in order to survive, and survive they do - quite well, in fact.
Wirou

**Wirou**, as he is simply known as, is an immensely powerful being with a unique penchant for manipulating and interacting with the very souls of others.

For all intents and purposes, Wirou is a god, and what he desires he shall receive.

Wirou has a peculiar hobby of interacting with lesser souls, often kidnapping them and giving them a new "home" in his own realm, like a zookeeper to an animal in a cage.

## Biography

Wirou was born with his siblings at the inception of time itself. As with his various siblings, Wirou is but a shard of the Primeval Mind, whose death conceived Totality itself.

At some point, he established Wirou's Tower, a most peculiar realm of an infinitely stretching tower, placing himself at its metaphorical top. It is here where his hobby of "collecting" could finally be fulfilled.
Interdimensional Travel

Throughout Totality, there are individuals that possess abilities in some form that allow them to traverse the otherwise-impenetrable barriers between separate realms. Names for these individuals, of course, vary greatly between interconnected realms, though in general there are two forms of **Traveling**, the process of traveling between unconnected realms.

**Leaping** is the process of purposefully traveling. Notable Leapers include the Triad, who work for multiple employers (i.e. the highest bidder) across multiple realms. Leapers generally require the correct equipment to allow for safe traveling, or are otherwise physically able to travel on the getgo.

**Wandering** is the process of unwillingly traveling, usually on accident through some means. Though not every individual is able to wander, Wanderers are vastly more common than Leapers.
Callisto

Previously:

Empire of Leharta

**Callisto**, once possessing the full name of Callisto d'Herse, is an oddity of a person.

She died in battle long ago, but her soul refused to pass, and she lived yet. Possessing her old set of battle armor and rising from the mud of the battlefield, she set off to live without really knowing why.

Eventually, she left her home realm of Distora through a portal.
Estrellas

Una **estrella** (del latín: *stella*) es una esfera luminosa de plasma que mantiene su forma gracias a un equilibrio hidrostático de fuerzas y a su propia gravedad.
 El equilibrio se produce esencialmente entre la fuerza de la gravedad,
la cual empuja la materia hacia el centro de la estrella, y la presión
que ejerce el plasma hacia fuera, que, tal como sucede en un gas, tiende a expandirlo. La presión hacia fuera depende de la temperatura,
 que en un caso típico como el del Sol se mantiene con la energía
producida en el interior de la estrella. La estrella más cercana a la Tierra es el Sol. Otras estrellas son visibles a simple vista
 desde la Tierra durante la noche, apareciendo como una diversidad de
puntos luminosos fijos en el cielo debido a su inmensa distancia de la
Tierra. Históricamente, las estrellas más prominentes fueron agrupadas
en constelaciones y asterismos,
 y las estrellas más brillantes ganaron nombres propios. Los astrónomos
han compilado un extensivo catálogo, proporcionando designaciones
estandarizadas a las estrellas.
Por lo menos una porción de su vida una estrella brilla debido a la fusión termonuclear del hidrógeno en helio en su núcleo, liberando energía que atraviesa el interior de la estrella y después se irradia hacia el espacio exterior.
 Cuando el hidrógeno en el núcleo de una estrella está casi agotado,
casi todos los elementos más pesados que el helio producidos de forma
natural son creados por nucleosíntesis estelar durante la vida de la estrella y, en algunas estrellas, por nucleosíntesis de supernovas cuando explotan. Al finalizar su vida, una estrella también puede contener materia degenerada.

Tektaun

## Other Information

### Date of Founding

Great Empire of Tektaun - 4660Incorporated into the Amalgamate as a State - 6909

### Native Realm

Macrocosms

The **State of** **Tektaun**, once a grand empire, now serves the Xikarian Amalgamate as a faithful state. Throughout its history, Tektaun has indeed been both a very agreeable yet a very powerful nation, imposing unto its home continent a *Pax Tektaun* of sorts during its time as an empire.

A close ally of the Kingdom of Rajai before unification, Tektaun was one of the eight member states of the Xikarian Amalgamate that participated in the writing of its constitution.
Souls

**Souls** are the very incarnations of sentience within beings - one of Totality's very few constants. The soul always exists in something in one way or another, laying beneath the visible, physical world, enacting their wills in a space below space, and in a time beside time.

#### Let's Go Deeper.

Souls are the sources of life for nearly all thinking beings (Depending on the rules of some abstract realms, a being may exist without a soul behind it). A soul is composed of Soft Energy, meaning that it is incorporeal, and unable to be influenced by any physical force (via Hard Energy). That being said, a soul can be influenced by a stronger soul, also acting through Soft Energy. Additionally, a soul using Soft Energy could potentially influence the physical world, crossing over into a Hard Energy state temporarily.

Depending on the realm, a soul may require a host, often in the form of a physical body which can uniquely influence Soft Energy, in some way. For instance, the human brain is an adequate host, allowing for unique souls to survive through it. Without a host, a weak soul may dissipate into its component energies, and be recycled and reused by other, more powerful souls - even picked up and added to a soul’s total energy without the receiving soul’s awareness.

Of course, more powerful souls could hold themselves together without the need for a host, though it is still a form of Soft Energy and cannot interact with the physical world. On Earth, this can potentially be interpreted as a ghost.

And finally, the most powerful souls (of which few exist on Earth) can create its own energy (Soft or Hard), and even create its own physical body, through which it is able to express itself more easily.

When a soul is so deeply ingrained into its body, it can begin to truly believe that its body and itself are inseparable. With this comes the issue of reproduction, which some species do to increase their numbers. A soul can split itself to create a new, thinking consciousness quite easily, with energy to spare. As souls usually are able to generate their own Soft Energy, the parent soul or souls can split off small parts of themselves, and allow the small parts to grow into their own identity. Alternatively, the species can also create a new soul from scratch, using spare Soft Energy.

I’ll leave it to your imagination to decide which method human souls use. Of course, there are other methods, as well.
War of the East

Maumo

Vaalbara

Rodina-Gonda

Red Sandstone Kingdom

The **War of the East** was a massive conflict encompassing the entirety of the eastern half of Distora, primarily involving the Empire of Leharta and many eastern nations.

## Origins

Leharta, ever since its union with the Kingdom of Midpass in 95 BC, had been steadily growing in power, growing to encompass lands both north and south of its capital.

It is in the Prewar Period, spanning from circa 70 BC to 25 BC, that the Lehartans emerged from the Mountains of Midpass and encountered their counterparts in the plains to the east - most notably, the Maumolese. Skirmishes between the united Lehartans and the scattered, divided Maumolese nomads escalated and eventually attracted international attention. The Red Sandstone Kingdom threatened Leharta to stay out of Eastern affairs (on a power trip of its own). What followed was the brief First Maumolese War between the Lehartans and the Red Sandstone Kingdom, in what was simply a few skirmishes. Nonetheless, the brief war spurred Leharta's ire, and directed its dreams of conquest towards its enemies in the east.

### The Playing Field

Around 30 BC, the largest players on the Eastern Distoran stage were the Red Sandstone Kingdom, the Democracy of Rodina, and the Vaalbaran kingdoms of Kapvaal and Pilbara. As well were present the fledgeling kingdoms of Pazodan, Urla, and Gondwana, born in the turbulent time of the impending Lehartan dominion.

While these Eastern lands had their own complicated set of conflicts and alliances amongst each other, Leharta, an isolated empire situated in the mountain peaks, had little to worry about - surrounded by a virtually inhabitable (or so it seemed) desert to the west, and fertile lands to the east, the choice for expansion seemed clear.

### First Strikes

For five years, beginning in 30 BC with the rise of Lehartan Emperor Kiuper I, Leharta mobilizes their truly massive army, while the eastern nations, having been relatively unbothered by their Lehartan neighbors for some time, battle a Second Maumolese War.
Station Platform

**Station Platform** (駅のホーム, *Eki no Hōmu*?) is the thirty-fourth chapter of the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san manga series.

## Summary

Koizumi-san is at a zoo and is attempting to draw animals for her art assigment. Feeling the scorching outdoor heat get the best of her, she loses concentration and suddenly feels the need to eat something. Looking at the time, Koizumi-san realizes that if she doesn't leave now, she will miss her planned ramen excursion for the day.

With her appetite increasing, she catches the next train and heads towards Kitasenju to eat beef ramen. While on-board, however, Koizumi-san is unable to bear the hunger pangs, and upon seeing a ramen shop at the upcoming Kasukabe platform, she immediately gets off. She heads towards the shop and orders croquette ramen, and savors the dish while standing up. When she finishes, she overhears the next train coming, and realizes that she might have another chance of making it to Kitasenju. Koizumi-san then dashes towards the incoming train, barely making it on time.
Feeling Around (Opening Theme)

***Feeling Around*** is the opening song for the Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san anime. It is sung by Minori Suzuki, with lyrics and composition by Koji Mihara.

## "Ramen Topics"

The quick scene transitions near the beginning of the OP show certain topics and explanations related to ramen. They are Koizumi-san's exact words from the manga as she is trying to explain each topic. The translations are below:

* **Mayu** (馬油): Aromatic oil infused with burnt garlic.
* **Hiyashi Ramen** (冷やしラーメン): Originated in Yamagata soba restaurants over 60 years ago.
* **Abura Soba** (油そば): A "subspecies" of ramen. Also known as *Shiru-nashi*, *Mazesoba*, and *Aesoba*.
* **Taiwan Ramen** (台湾ラーメン): A dish created by a Taiwanese chef in Nagoya, and known for having ground beef and Chinese chives as toppings. It does not exist in Taiwan.
* **Tsukemen** (つけ麺): There are many stories about its origin, but it is said that in 1955, Tokyo Taishoken chef, Kazuo Yamagishi, had created a catering dish using leftover noodles. At the request of his customers, Tsukemen was born.
* **Chintan** (清湯): Clear soup cooked at a simmer.
* **Paitan** (白湯): Milky soup created using a sustained boil.
Ourobouria

The **Kingdom of Ourobouria** is the largest nation in western Distora. Ourobouria is also one of the oldest, persisting for seven thousand years of history, since it was founded by Osmund the Liberator 5 years after the end of the War of the East.

Since its founding, Ourobouria was a major player in Distora, rivalling nations like Leharta and the Red Sandstone Kingdom in both military prowess and diplomatic influence.

Following the Winter Conflict of 3080, Ourobouria, once the second-largest nation on the continent, shattered into four separate nations: Ourobouria itself, Twinerow, Galas, and Bethel.
