Eat Some Somen Noodles or Something (そうめんでも食べよ Sōmen demo Tabeyo?) is the eighteenth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
After the conflict with Acrobatic Silky ended, Momo invites Aira over to her house to eat with her, Okarun, Seiko, and the Turbo Granny. Figuring that she is hostile towards her after dropping the basin on her head when they first met, Momo admits that she went too far and apologizes to Aira but demands that she apologizes to Okarun for playing with his emotions at the time. Aira tells Momo that she does not hold a grudge towards her for this action but rather that she thinks of her as a demon and her enemy that needs to be defeated, leading to Momo arguing with her in that she is no such thing. Upon hearing this, Aira directs her attention to Okarun and Seiko, stating that the boy's transformation into the Turbo Granny and the grandmother being too young is proof that she is right about Momo and the others are demons. The two girls then enter into argument with each other, with Aira warning Momo that she will eventually confront her again to take her down, while Momo replies back saying that she accepts her challenge. Before leaving, Aira asks Okarun why he chose to save her despite being a demon. Okarun answers that it was on natural for a person to help others, much to Aira's shock after thinking that he still has some humanity left in him. She then tells him that she will come to free him from Momo's grasp and blushes as she makes her way out, which shocks Momo. Later, Okarun has his golden ball put back to his crotch with the Turbo Granny and Seiko's help in a game of baseball, much to his joy.
The next day at school, Momo tells Okarun that they should meet at the rooftop during lunch to figure out where his other ball is. However, Okarun tells Momo that he wants to spend that time, and afterschool, to finish a report. Momo then decides to spend lunch with her friends but started to think that Okarun was trying to hide something from her. Momo hears Miko thinking that it had something to do with a girl, which causes her to think of Aira in her head, but doubts that this was the case. While going out to get a few drinks for her and Miiko, Momo starts to wonder as to why she finds herself feeling uneasy and considers checking in on Okarun. In an unexpected turn of events at the courtyard, Momo becomes shocked to see Okarun on top of Aira.
