Cleaver and razor

Raja then said, "Aren't there any other barbershops around here?"

And Gen said, "Unfortunately not."

"Okay, let's go in then."

The two then entered the barbershop, started looking around, and saw that the place was quite spacious.

A man then approached and said, "Good afternoon, will it be cleaver or razor?"

And Raja said, "What? What do you mean?"

"First time here, right?"

"Yes."

"What did you come here for?"

"We came to get a haircut. Do you have another option?"

"A haircut? So it's a razor, and yes, there is another option, which would be the cleaver."

"And what would the cleaver be?"

"Meat. What else could it be?"

"Meat? Do you sell meat here?"

"Yes, and when I say meat, I mean barbecue. We have the restaurant on the left and the barbershop on the right."

Gen then said, "Is this a restaurant and a barbershop?"

And the man said, "Yes."

"Why do both in the same place?"

"Well, why not?"

Raja then said, "He has a point."

And Gen said, "Well, whatever, we want to get a haircut. Actually, he's the one who's going to cut it. I want mine a little shorter. How much is the cut?"

The man then said, "The razor is fifty bronze coins."

"What?! Fifty coins? Are you sure you didn't mistake what I said? I want a haircut."

"I didn't mistake it, sir. That's the price."

Raja then said, "Why is it so expensive?"

"Well, here in our facility, you don't just get a haircut. You get the whole barbecue experience. We select meat for every moment of your cut, giving you a unique experience."

"Barbecue experience? Didn't you hear him talking? We just came to get a haircut."

"Unfortunately, sir, the barbecue is included with the haircut."

"What? You mean if I get a haircut, I have to pay for the barbecue too?"

"Yes, that's how it works."

"What if I want to eat barbecue? Would I have to pay for the cut too?"

"No, the barbecue is sold separately."

"And the cut isn't?"

"That's right."

"And what's the point of that?"

"Well, we did it to make it possible for people who can't cut their hair to enjoy the barbecue."

"Can't cut their hair? You mean bald?"

"We don't allow the use of that word in our establishment, sir."

Raja was speechless, and then Gen said, "All right. Here.", and then he stretched out his hand and handed the man a silver coin.

The man then asked, "May I take the two razors from here?"

"... Yes, you may."

"Okay, come with me."

The two then followed him into the barbershop, and when they arrived, he said, "Please sit down."

The two then looked around and saw that there were several chairs. They then chose two side by side and sat down. They waited for some time until, from a door in the back of the room came two men. One of them went to talk to Gen, and the other to Raja.

They then asked, "What will the razor look like?"

And Gen said, "Mine is just shortened to about shoulder height."

Raja then said, "I want an eye-catching cut."

The man attending to Raja then said, "Eye-catching? How about a Mohawk?"

And Raja said, "Tempting, but no. I'm going to Oasis later. So I want a cut that draws attention but also makes sense with the place."

"Got it, leave it to me."

The man who was attending Gen then asked, "Are you guys doing the razor in challenge mode or normal mode?"

And Gen asked, "Challenge mode? What is that?"

"Well, we bring you a pound of meat of your choice, and while you eat it, we cut your hair."

"And how is that different from normal mode? Doesn't the normal cut also have a barbecue?"

"Yes, but the challenge mode only costs twenty bronze coins."

"Really? That's less than half the price of the normal mode. Why is it so much cheaper?"

The man who was tending to Raja then said, "Well, it's cheaper because it has the challenge."

And Gen asked, "And what is the challenge?"

"We stop cutting your hair when you finish eating."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Raja then said, "It looks pretty easy."

The man who was tending to Raja then said, "It really does, but only those who experience this mode understand the difficulty it brings. After all, as we said, we stop cutting when you finish eating. So you must have a good sense to finish eating the meat at the right time, or you won't get the haircut the way you want it."

"Interesting, you've convinced me I'm going to enter the challenge mode."

Gen then said, "No, you're not. He said a pound of meat. Have you forgotten that we're eating later?"

And Raja said, "That's right. Well, next time, then."

They then began to cut the hair of both of them and every so often, a man would appear there with a different piece of meat for them to eat.

Gen then said, "This is better than I expected."

And Raja said, "That's true. Maybe I should start getting my haircut here."

A few minutes passed, and the two of them finished cutting their hair.

Raja then said, "That was so fast."

And Gen said, "I don't know what you're complaining about. Mine was over long before yours. I almost didn't enjoy it at all."

"Well, you could have let him cut more of your hair."

"I couldn't. I already let him cut as much as I could. More than that, and my hair would look awful."

"Yeah, You're right."

Gen then said, "Well, let's get going. It's a long way to the house. Let's not waste time."

"That's right, let's go."

Gen then got the change, and they headed towards Gen's house. After a long time of walking, they arrived and then went down the trap door.

Raja then said, "I know I already said this, but it's bizarre that your house is underground."

"Yeah, for the first few months, I thought it was weird, too, but then I got used to it."

The two then entered Gen's house and started towards the bathroom.

When they got there, Raja said, "Gen, I didn't realize this before, but where are the towels?"

And Gen said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. I don't remember seeing towels anywhere in there."

"Did we have to bring our own?"

"Maybe, but don't worry. I have some towels in my room. Let me go get them."

"Okay."

Raja then took a basket to put his clothes in and said, "Gen, you don't have to go back there."

"Really? Why?"

"I found the towels. They were in the baskets."

"Really? That's good."

Raja then took a basket and gave it to Gen, and said, "Here. Let's go in right away. If not, we won't have time to try everything."

"And we won't, Raja. We only have time to take a shower. You can use the rest of the bathroom another time."

"Ahh, that's fine. After all, starting tomorrow, we will be inside here for two consecutive days. I'll have plenty of time to enjoy it."

They then took the towels and put their clothes in the basket, and soon after, they went into the bathroom.

They then went into the shower, and after they got cleaned up, Gen said, "I'm going to get in the tub, how about you, Raja?"

And Raja said, "Hmm, I think I'll take a dip in the pool before I get in the tub."

"All right."

Gen then got in the tub and said, "Ahh! The water's perfect."

Raja then went towards the pool, and when he got there, he looked at the slide and thought, 'It would be a sin not to use this slide.', and so he went towards it and climbed on it.

Raja then saw that the slide had a button on it that read, 'On/Off', and he thought, 'Hm? What does this button do.', and so he pushed it. Just as it did, water started coming out of where he was sitting, and it started going down the slide.

Raja then thought, 'This place never ceases to amaze me, hahaha.', and then went down the slide.

Splash! Raja swam in the pool for a while and then got out and went towards the bathtub where Gen was.

Seeing him coming, Gen asked, "How's the pool?"

And Raja said, "Great. I got in through the slide, and when I was on top of it, I found out that it has a button that makes water start coming out of it."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

" Wow, tomorrow I'm going to try the slide too."

Raja then got in the tub and said, "Wow, the water's great."

"Tell me about it."

"How long do we have before we have to leave?"

"Let me think... Well, if I'm not mistaken, we have to go now."

Gen then stood up and started to get out of the tub, and Raja said, "Now? But I just got in!"

And Gen said, "I told you there was only time to take a shower. Let's go."

Raja then stood up and said, "Damn!", and then they both left the bathroom.
