"Hey, Roku, what's up?" Dave, who was lazing around being fed, answered the phone and asked in confusion.
"Dave, Shinobi World Alliance, the game you mentioned last year, is finished. It can be installed and played on computers now," Orochiroku's voice came from the other end.
"Really?!" Dave abruptly sat up, brimming with excitement.
"Yes. Manager Kakuzu just uploaded the game to the Love Kidney Gaming Platform. You can download it on any of the computers now," Orochiroku said after a moment's surprise.
"Got it!" With that, Dave ended the call.
"Hehe, Tsukimi, something's come up. Sorry for the trouble, but could you look after these little ones this afternoon?" Dave looked at Tsukimi in front of him and chuckled.
"Of course. If you have something to do, Dave, you should go," Tsukimi said understandingly. Still, she felt a little disappointed... I won't get to spend the afternoon with Dave...
"Mwah~ Sorry I won't have time to keep you company this afternoon." Dave could naturally see the disappointment on Tsukimi's face. He hugged her and planted a light kiss on her forehead, his voice full of apology...
The three grown-ups, who had finished feeding the three little ones, looked at the food in their hands, then at what was happening over there. They took a huge, vicious bite... then began wolfing down their food... Why had this meal suddenly lost its flavor...?
After leaving the Clan Compound...
"Hey, Uncle Madara!" Dave called Uncle Madara, who had already arrived at the internet cafe.
"What is it, Dave? I'm locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Eight-Tails," Madara's voice came through. Dave could vaguely hear something like "Hah!" in the background...
"Uh, Uncle Madara, are there any free computers next to you?"
"Yes. I usually sit in the corner. It's pretty quiet."
