Gorgeous and Gorging (ゴージャス＆モリモリ, Gōjasu & morimori) is the 25th chapter of Dorohedoro.
Summary[]
The chapter starts at Restaurant Tanba. Kaiman is cleaning the entrance while Tanba and Fukuyama prepare the meat pies for the day. Tanba explains to Kaiman that the restaurant opens at the evening, but that they sell meat pies at noon already. The boss tells the lizard head to stay with Fukuyama to learn how the job is done. A blue scarab appears in front of him and tells Kaiman how much he wants a good partner in this blue night festival, one that makes his magic more seductive. The lizard head eat some meat pies and is caught by Tanba.
In En's Mansion, En is eating his breakfast when a blue scarab appears and sits in his hand. En knows this signal means that the blue night is going to start soon. One of his goons appears and tells him the schedule of the day. Shin and Noi take a cup of coffee together in a store inside the mansion, talking about how four years have passed since the last festival. Noi tells him how eager she is to taste the treats for the festival at 15 pm. Fujita grabs Ebisu (too lazy to move), telling her to get going because En is going to call the Family Tailor to make free costumes for them. The idea of receiving a free dress makes Ebisu excited and she runs out to the hall.
They all gather in the Great Hall of the mansion with the Tailor. He explains that he need to know what kind of preferences they have to make their suits. En wants stripes and mushroom accessories, same for Kikurage. Shin prefers a casual black suit, Noi only wants to look awesome. Fujita wants a herringbone pattern suit, Ebisu a lot of jewels and Chota (coming out of nowhere) an angel-themed suit with wings. En is really annoyed and angrily ask what is he doing there. Chota tells him how much he wants to become his partner and even questions En's desire to be partners with a Magic User that manipulates time (a myth in the sorcerers society). En states that he is going to find one no matter the cost.
The tailor asks for Ebisu's and Noi's measurements. The little sorceress is impressed with how big Noi's chest is, and before he goes she makes a little request. A goon approaches En and gives him news about the search for the sorcerer who manipulates time, speaking of the recent murder in the smoke shop. They studied the last entry in the smoke proofing machine, and it could be a time-manipulation magic. Another goon tells En about the next appointment, and he orders them to investigate even further.
Outside the mansion appears a long queue of applicants to be the partners of the En family members. They give the En goons a smoke sample along with their applications. After that some are accepted to participate in the festival inside the mansion while others are rejected and sent home to wait another 4 years. In the garden the top members appear to taste the food and see the preparations for the night, along with the extremely long and boring theatrical representation of the "Miracle of the Blue Night". By the end all of the members and even En have fallen asleep. Back in his room, En thinks about the Magic User with time magic and feels this festival will be different from the rest.
Days later the top members (and Ebisu) receive their suits. Fujita is really happy for his herringbone suit. Noi gets a tight leather costume with needles dangling everywhere (even tho she can barely walks thanks to the high heels). Shin looks like always and Chota is dressed in a white suit with little angel wings. En and Kikurage are dressed the same, Ebisu appears with Fujita, exclaiming to Noi that she won, showing the extremely ridiculous implants in her dress to make her look more "well endowed". Fujita and Shin find this shameful. In the meanwhile Tanba beats Kaiman for eating the meat pies when he thinks no one will notice him.
