Uvogin and Nobunaga's eyes lit up simultaneously.

They exchanged a glance, then with great understanding, sat down at the table.

"No wonder I smelled a fragrance when I entered earlier," Uvogin chuckled, "I originally thought it was my imagination."

Nobunaga also nodded slightly, "Then we'll wait patiently."

Flash!

After the two sat down, Morin once again took out the Gourmet Tablecloth and spread it on their table.

"Where did this come from?"

At first, they wondered if Morin was performing a magic trick, then their attention turned to the tablecloth before them.

Uvogin: "This is quite beautiful."

Nobunaga:

"Hmm, it can be exchanged for a lot of black market currency."

"Do either of you have any preferences?" Morin asked specifically before they ordered.

"Just bring us whatever you think is best!" Uvogin said expansively, waving his hand with bravado.

"Then I'll be casual," Morin smiled and nodded, then snapped his fingers.

"Let's start with two roast suckling pigs to whet our appetites."

As soon as he finished speaking, under everyone's watchful eyes, food instantly appeared on the Gourmet Tablecloth.

Two fragrant, enticing, golden-brown, crispy roast pigs appeared before everyone's eyes. The aroma instantly spread throughout the entire room.

Gulp~!

A particularly loud swallowing sound could be clearly heard.

"This is... roast suckling pig?!"

Nobunaga and Uvogin stared at the two pigs on their plates, which were constantly emitting an aroma and seemed to be saying, "Eat me quickly," their eyes fixed.

Slurp!

Nobunaga smacked his lips repeatedly, while Uvogin unceremoniously wiped the saliva that was about to stream down his face with the back of his hand.

Even Machi, who was standing by with her arms crossed, ready to watch the show, couldn't help but swallow nervously, despite already being full.

"Please, enjoy?" Morin made a gesturing motion.

Uvogin and Nobunaga first glanced at Morin, then they both looked up and met each other's eyes again.

If it were food only slightly better than black market currency, they wouldn't hesitate so much.

But this aroma was too rich, the color too tempting, and the desire to eat was incredibly strong. The key was that these two pigs had suddenly appeared, which was quite baffling.

They both looked at Machi, finding that she had no intention of saying anything.

In that case then...

"Eat!" Uvogin directly reached out and tore off a pig's leg.

"You owe me this pig's leg, how will you repay it?!"

"I don't know how these two dishes were made, but since you've already made a gesture of treating us, I'll definitely eat my fill as promised!!"

Nobunaga nodded repeatedly, "That's right, even if there's a problem with something this good, I'll accept it!!" He put his long sword aside, rolled up his sleeves, and also reached out.

At this moment, Uvogin had already stuffed the pig's leg into his mouth. The very first bite caused Uvogin's body to pause slightly, and then...

"Delicious!!" His eyes blazed with intense light, and he shouted with his mouth full, startling Nobunaga, who was also eating.

"You're too loud!" Nobunaga, whose mouth was also full, expressed his displeasure.

"Delicious!"

Uvogin paid no mind to Nobunaga's displeasure. After devouring a whole pork leg in just a few bites, he continued to eat with his characteristically rough manners.

Nobunaga wasn't slow either, but compared to Uvogin, he seemed less impressive.

Soon, under Uvogin's whirlwind-like eating style, his roast suckling pig was completely gone.

And with Uvogin's extraordinary biting force, he didn't even leave the bones.

After a few crunch crunch crunch bites, he swallowed them whole.

Hmm, while not quite the same biting force that would later crush half of a Shadow Beast's skull, his current teeth are just as formidable.

"Tsk tsk!"

Completely satisfied after finishing one suckling pig, Uvogin let out a contented smack of his lips.

However, he clearly felt like he hadn't had enough.

He glanced sideways at the person opposite him.

Nobunaga had also finished most of his meal, with only one hind leg of pork remaining.

Nobunaga was now eating meat and not spitting out bones, just like Uvogin, gnawing on the bone in his mouth.

Uvogin grinned, revealing a wide, uninhibited smile.

His sharp teeth, which had just crushed the pork bone, exuded a chilling aura.

Opportunity knocks but once.

Seeing this, Uvogin fully demonstrated what it meant to be quick-eyed and swift as lightning!

Whoosh!

A blur of motion flashed by. The hind leg of pork that Nobunaga was about to pick up inexplicably ended up in Uvogin's hand. Nobunaga: "...!!"

He stared blankly at his now empty plate, then at Uvogin, who was holding the pork hind leg and gnawing on it.

"UVOOOOOGIN!!"

Nobunaga was furious. He roared:

"Die for me!!"

He instantly grabbed the hilt of the long sword at his side.

"I'll fight you after I finish this bite!"

Uvogin said indistinctly, then quickly chewed and stuffed the entire pork leg into his mouth.

"Alright, come on!"

While forcefully chewing, Uvogin struck a fighting stance towards Nobunaga.

Nobunaga watched Uvogin's mouth and throat move, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

"Gulp?!"

Uvogin swallowed.

"My pork leg!!"

Nobunaga cried out in anguish.

"It's just a pork leg, isn't it?"

Seeing Nobunaga's bloodshot eyes, Uvogin said.

But then, he paused, realizing how infuriating his words were, and added:

"I'll pay you back later, alright?"

"Pay me back?!"

Nobunaga drew his sword, throwing the scabbard aside, and roared:

"How are you going to pay back the pork leg you owe me?!"

Machi sighed, preparing to intervene.

Although she knew the outcome would be a fight followed by nothing being resolved, the problem was... this was her home!

If you two want to fight, can't you do it outside?

"Alright, let's not ruin our friendship over a single pig.

Morin stepped forward first and then snapped his fingers.

"I said, I'm treating tonight, and there's plenty of pig to go around!!"

On the table in front of the two men, two more roast suckling pigs appeared, looking and smelling delicious, clearly belonging to the same family as the previous two.

Nobunaga:

Uvogin:

The two exchanged glances again.

Are we still fighting?

Fighting my ass!!

Almost simultaneously, Nobunaga tossed his katana aside again, and Uvogin once again tore into a pork leg first.

The matter was perfectly resolved with Uvogin paying Nobunaga one pork leg.

"Hic?"

Both men were stuffed to the brim, so full they were almost rolling their eyes.

"I, I can still eat."

Uvogin said with difficulty, his mouth slick with grease.

"Eat any more and you'll turn into a pig!"
