Invention: [Plant Modification Agent]
Origin:Doraemon World — Future Technology Company
Effect:
Used to modify plants into various foods. Each type of food has its own specific modification agent. By inserting the needle into a plant and injecting the liquid, the plant will bloom and bear fruit. When the fruit is opened, the desired food will appear inside.
This [Plant Modification Agent], capable of producing many kinds of food, also comes from the world of Doraemon.
It first appeared in the 1982 movie
Doraemon: Nobita and the Haunts of Evil (Nobita's Great Demon Realm).
In that story, Doraemon and the others are guided by the dog prince (often translated as Peko) into the interior of Africa and begin their adventure in the mysterious land.
There exists a strange kingdom of dogs there.
During the journey, Nobita and the group become hungry. Doraemon first takes out a delivery telephone to order food.
However, Gian refuses, saying:
"Ordering takeout in Africa would ruin the atmosphere of an adventure!"
So Doraemon switches to another gadget—
The Plant Modification Agent.
By injecting the medicine into plants, they obtain all kinds of food they want.
After Uvogin and Machi stated what they wanted to eat, Arvin Locke immediately thought of this invention.
And he successfully used it on the tree in front of them.
"Here. This one's yours."
Arvin Locke handed the newly grown black coconut-like fruit to Machi.
Crack.
She opened it gently.
A burst of hot steam rose up, instantly filling her face with fragrance.
"Seafood fried rice. Give it a try."
Arvin Locke introduced it with a smile.
But Machi's attention was already fully focused on the bowl of fried rice in her hands.
Every grain of rice was golden and glossy, seemingly coated in a special sauce.
Bright yellow scrambled eggs decorated the dish.
And mixed within were the true stars of the meal—
"Shrimp… fish… octopus legs… squid tentacles…"
Inside the screening room, Chrollo murmured each item.
These were marine creatures he had previously learned about from videotapes.
As he identified each ingredient one by one, Pakunoda beside him swallowed every time he spoke a name.
Compared with the chunks of meat Uvogin was eating earlier—
Visually speaking, this seafood fried rice was even more attractive to them.
Especially for girls.
Machi couldn't wait any longer.
She picked up the small wooden spoon included in the container and scooped a bite into her mouth.
And the spoonful was very deliberate—
Rice, egg, shrimp, squid—everything included.
That single bite captured most of the essence of the entire dish.
"Mm…"
The moment the taste touched Machi's tongue, her whole body trembled.
It felt as if the power of the deep ocean surged through her body.
The rich flavor seemed to carry the vastness and depth of the sea itself.
It slid down her throat and spread throughout her entire body.
"..."
Machi stayed silent for a moment.
Or perhaps—
She was simply savoring the taste.
Then she quickly raised her spoon and began eating bite after bite of seafood fried rice.
Her eating style wasn't as wild as Uvogin's.
But her speed and frequency were still impressive.
Soon, the portion of fried rice visibly began shrinking.
"Glad you like it."
Seeing the two of them completely absorbed in eating, Arvin Locke chuckled and picked up another modification agent.
Watching them eat so happily had made him hungry too.
After all, he hadn't eaten yet either.
Click. Slurp. Crack.
Injection.
Fruit grows.
Pick it. Open it.
All in one smooth motion.
"Well then, I won't hold back."
Looking at the braised pork with potatoes over rice inside his fruit shell, Arvin Locke couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Chomp."
After taking the first bite, his smile widened even more.
"As expected…"
"Food from my hometown just tastes the best."
Arvin Locke sighed comfortably in his heart, then sat down on the ground and started eating as well.
For a while, the forest became completely quiet.
The only sounds were:
🍚 Food being scooped
🍖 Chewing
😋 Swallowing
Meanwhile, the delicious fragrance continued to drift through the air, slowly spreading outward.
Until—
"Uvogin?!!"
A voice full of surprise and anger suddenly rang out from the woods.
"Hm?"
Uvogin, who had been happily devouring meat, instinctively raised his head when he heard his name.
Then he saw—
That familiar duo appearing once again in his field of vision.
"Oh, it's you two losers again…"
Gulp.
Uvogin swallowed the meat in his mouth.
"What, came back for another beating already?!"
As he spoke, he wiped the meat juice from the corner of his mouth.
Phinks: "..."
He stared at Uvogin bitterly, his eyes burning with anger.
Actually, he and Feitan had originally come here quietly to see what smelled so good.
If possible, they had planned to snatch some food for themselves.
But the moment they arrived and saw Uvogin feasting on meat in the forest—
Phinks instantly lost it.
