The rules of the Extreme Spicy Curry Championship were simple: whoever finished the extreme spicy curry in the shortest time was the champion.
Contestants could participate in pairs, with one responsible for eating and the other for wiping sweat or cheering.
Individual participation was also allowed.
But this rule essentially eliminated those who wanted to compete alone.
Loneliness isn't scary. What's scary is being alone among couples.
When compared, one's own loneliness is magnified infinitely, appearing particularly bleak.
Not even a free three-year meal voucher would entice someone to participate alone.
The Aurora Comics Department had three teams in the contest.
One team was Phoenix Academy Maggie and Aozawa.
The second team was Hojo Tetsuji and Yoshikawa Sayuri.
The third team was Nomura True Wave and Furusawa Kyoichiro.
The two had been in the same school and class since elementary school.
