"Mm, good!" Bofeng Yu nodded, walked to the head of the table, and sat down.
"Tetsuya, Liu Qing told me you enjoy good food. You and our Yakumo really have something in common. Everything here is delicious, so help yourself," Mili said with a smile.
"Tetsuya, come sit beside me." Liu Qing sat opposite Mili. After addressing Tetsuya, who was still standing, he turned to Yakumo, whose face was flushed as she stole glances at Tetsuya. "Yakumo, you sit beside Tetsuya."
Both Tetsuya and Yakumo startled at Liu Qing's words. But when they saw that Yakumo's parents had already taken the seats next to Mili, they had no choice but to sit beside Liu Qing, stealing glances at each other along the way.
Talking during meals was strictly forbidden. Tetsuya had still been nervous, but after one bite, the delicious food drove all his nerves away, and he dug in with gusto. Yakumo was no slouch either, keeping the servants beside them busy serving food onto their plates.
"Dad, Mom, I'm planning to head out tomorrow to challenge the Battle Frontier." After finishing his meal, Liu Qing wiped his mouth with a dry towel and addressed Bofeng Yu and Mili, who had also finished. "Scott from the League came today to invite me to challenge the Battle Frontier. I've already completed the Battle Arena challenge."
"Scott established the Battle Frontier and recruited quite a few powerful Pokémon Trainers as Frontier Brains. Challenging it at your current level is indeed a good choice," Bofeng Yu said with a nod. Then he turned his gaze to Tetsuya, who sat beside Liu Qing. "Tetsuya, now that you've joined the Uzumaki, the Namikaze Family will be your backing. You must also take pride in the family."
"Yes, family head!" Tetsuya hastily stood up.
