Let's Get Divorced
Fugu Fish

The Sapporo Snow Festival is a winter festival held in Sapporo, Japan. The festival is the largest winter festival in the country of the rising sun. The Sapporo snow festival attracts millions of people every year.

"Beautiful!" Praise Rachel when she and her husband arrive at Odori Park. Odori Park is a park located in the center of Sapporo. The park is also where the Sapporo snow festival is held.

"Look at that Big Ben!" Jasper pointed to his country's proud landmarks made of snow.

"Similar to the original only white color. What mountain is that?" Rachel points to an iceberg on display in Odori Park.

"That's a sculpture of Mount Fuji. That mountain is a very important mountain in the country" Jasper told.

"I wanted to see Mount Fuji firsthand" Rachel said, sipping hot chocolate she had just bought in a cup.

"Later I'll take you to see Mount Fuji. But not now," Jasper fixed Rachel's slightly angled hat.

"When?" Rachel received her husband's warm treatment with joy.

"When the cherry blossoms grow in Tokyo," Jasper gives reassurance.

"alright. I'll collect your promise later," Rachel took her eyes off Jasper who always made her misbehave.

"Let's try the food sold over there!" Jasper pointed to traditional food vendors at this snow festival.

Rachel followed Jasper's steps.

"Try this!" A salesman offered Rachel and Jasper two drinks.

"This what?" Jasper smelled the smell of the drink.

"This is Amazake, Japanese sweet sake," said the seller friendly by using English. It seems like the seller is quite proficient in English.

"Does it contain alcohol?" Jasper.

"No, Mister. This amazake does not contain alcohol, although there are amazakes made with low alcohol content," explained the seller. Jasper seemed satisfied with his answer.

"You are a very strange Englishman! You don't like alcoholic drinks!" Rachel laughs.

"What was the last time I drank alcohol? Finally like what?"

Rachel recalls her tragedy and Jasper in the hotel room effects the young man drinking too much.

"It feels sweet," said Rachel. He did not want to remember that night. How did Jasper know that night nothing happened between them?

"Don't let Jasper know! I'll keep that little secret a secret."

"Miss, you'll be prettier by drinking that drink!" Answer the seller while smiling at Rachel who was gulping amazaknya.

"more beautiful? Meanin?" Jasper seemed to be unable to accept his wife being praised by another man.

"Women in Japan drink amazake one of which is for beauty purposes. In addition to warming the body in winter, amazake makes the skin smooth and youthful looking," the seller replied kindly.

"Oh so. Then I'll finish it," Rachel gulped amazake in her glass down to the toilet. Jasper also drank the amazake until it ran out.

They left the tavern after paying. Next up was Tsudome. Tsudome is the second venue for the Sapporo snow festival.

"Let's go to a snowball fight!" Take Rachel when she and Jasper get to Tsudome. He saw people waiting in line for a snowball fight.

"The queue is long! It's so cold!!" Jasper looked cold.

"You're cold?" Rachel touched the face of her husband who was nodding back by Jasper.

"Then let's sit there!" Rachel quickly pulled her husband's hand towards the tent available near the food stand to warm herself up.

They also entered the tent. Rachel took off the gloves that warmed her fingers. The girl also removed the ash-colored gloves from her husband.

Rachel cupped Jasper's hand and blew her around, hoping that the man would come out of the coldness that was ambushing her body.

"If you know you're going to be cold, we better stay in the inn" Rachel looked at Jasper's cold pity.

"I feel sorry for you if we spend time in the inn. I don't want to waste our vacation" Jasper replied still with steam coming out of his lips.

"You live in a country that has four seasons. Why aren't you strong cold?"

"Okay, I don't know either" Jasper shrugged his shoulders.

"But my mama is not strong cold" he continued.

"Sort of descent huh?" Rachel concluded.

"Something like that can be brought down?" Jasper scrunched his forehead.

Rachel orders Kare Udon and Kare Pan for both of them. The couple ate it in the tent.

"I like his curry sauce. Not too pungent nose," Rachel tasted udon ramen for him. He then devoured the chicken katsu on top of the curry.

While Jasper was just smiling looking at Rachel who was eating voraciously.

"Why don't you eat?" Rachel stopped the chewing.

"I want to be fed by you. Bribe me!" Jasper put his bowl.

"Bas based on spoiled master!" Rachel laughs. Then he kept his bowl which was almost finished. Rachel fed Jasper painstakingly. While Jasper was just staring at Rachel silently, various questions popped up.

"I've decided I'm going to try to love Rachel," she said.

*****

Jasper and Rachel went home early. They did not continue to enjoy the snow festival because of the cold Jasper.

Rachel went to the kitchen. His stomach still feels very rumbling because it was just eating kare. While Jasper chose to soak in the onsen before going to bed.

"I want to cook this fish" Rachel looked at the fish in the fridge. The fish is a fugu fish or better known as puffer fish.

"I know this fish is poisonous, but I know how to cook it so it's not toxic" Rachel started processing the fish for cooking. The girl uncovers a highly toxic egg, intestine and liver from the fugu fish.

"What is it cooked like?" Rachel seemed to think. The girl looked careless, because in Japan, the only chef who can cook fugu is certified and licensed with 3 years of experience to cook the dangerous fish. The poison is more toxic than cyanide.

"I'm going to cook it into Sashimi" Rachel decided.

With her cooking skills, Rachel tries to process fugu into sashimi. Not difficult for him, because Rachel had seen the making of sashimi which he thought was quite simple on youtube.

Rachel sliced the fugu fish meat with thin slices. Then he arranged the slices of fugu fish to form like flower petals on a plate. Rachel did not forget to keep a garrison that includes a taoge, radish on a plate and the last is to prepare a ponzu or orange-based soy sauce.

Rachel brought the plate containing the fugu fish dish. He took her to the middle of the house. Rachel kept the plate on the heating table. The girl put half her body into the heat to warm herself up.

"Don't kid!" He said when eating sashimi that has been chocolate on ponzu.

Just two mouthfuls he ate, his head felt swirling.

"My head is dizzy," Rachel massaged her head.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Kaori asked as Rachel held her head.

"My head is dizzy, Kaori!" Rachel said weakly.

"Geez, Miss! You ate fugu fish?" Kaori saw the sashimi she knew. Kaori rounded her eyes looking at the dangerous fish meat on the warming table.

Kaori immediately ran towards Jasper who was known to be soaking in the onsen. Luckily, the young man had just come out of the onsen and was already wearing his pajamas.

"Grand-man!!!" Kaori shouted with a sigh of obstruction.

"What's wrong?" Jasper looked panicked at the panicked Kaori.

"It looks like Miss Rachel has fugu fish poisoning" tell Kaori by trying to catch her breath.

Jasper rolled his eyes. He immediately ran towards the middle room of the inn.

"Rachelorette!!!!" Jasper shouted as he saw his wife lying on the tatami floor.

"Wake up, Rachel!!!!" She screamed with Rachel's body.

"Kaori, I have to take my wife to the hospital!" Jasper said in a daze. He lifted his wife's body and took her out.

Kaori came out of the inn to take them to the hospital.

"Sir, let me drive!" Kaori asks. He was afraid that something bad might happen if Jasper was driving in a panic.

"alright. Come fast!" Shouted Jasper with a trembling voice. He trusts Kaori to drive because Jasper thinks Kaori knows the terrain she faces to get to the hospital. Kaori sat in the front, while Jasper sat in the passenger seat with Rachel's body in her arms.

Kaori drove the car at high speed on the snow.

"Kaori, hurry!!" Jasper yelled again.

"Rachel, wake up!!" Japser's tears flowed from the corner of his eye.

"Don't leave me here!" Jasper patted Rachel's cold cheek.

"I beg you to wake up! I'll try to accept your presence and our marriage" Jasper kept trying to wake his wife.
