Ruri nodded helplessly. "I give up on you two. Come on, let's go find Akagimaru first!"
With that, Ruri headed toward Akagimaru's house with the two pretty girls.
After walking for less than fifteen minutes, the three of them arrived outside Akagimaru's house.
"All right, you two wait here. I'll go get him!" Linghua Hyuga said, looking at them before stepping into Akagimaru's house.
"Ruri, do you know any restaurants around here that serve good food?" Momokusa Harukawa asked, fidgeting with her fingers as she looked at him.
Ruri thought for a moment, then smiled at Momokusa Harukawa. "I do know one. I think it's called the Konoha Barbecue Restaurant. I've heard the food there is really good, and the grilled meat is delicious!"
"Great! Then once those two come out, let's suggest going there!" Momokusa Harukawa said with a smile.
As they spoke, Reika Hyuga and Akagimaru came out of Akagimaru's house.
"Hi, Ruri! My name's Akagimaru! Would you let me be your underling? I really admire how strong you are!" Akagimaru said, smiling at Ruri.
Oh, come on! Who greets someone like that right off the bat? This guy is unbelievable! Ruri thought.
Standing beside them, Reika Hyuga said, "Honestly, Akagimaru, why would you greet Ruri like that the moment you meet him? Let's go eat. You can talk more at the restaurant!"
Akagimaru also realized that his greeting had been inappropriate. He gave an embarrassed smile and said nothing more.
"Linghua, Ruri just said he knows a barbecue restaurant with really good food. Shall we go there?" Momokusa Harukawa asked, taking Reika Hyuga's hand.
Linghua Hyuga thought for a moment, then nodded. "All right, let's eat at the place Ruri mentioned. We don't know where else the food is good anyway!"
With that, Reika Hyuga pulled Momokusa Harukawa along toward the place Ruri had mentioned, with Ruri and Akagimaru following close behind.
The Konoha Barbecue Restaurant Ruri had mentioned was very close to Akagimaru's house, and they arrived in no time.
Once they entered the restaurant, Ruri called out, "Boss, get us a small private room! There are four of us!"
"Sure thing! I'll get it ready right away. Since you're all kids, I'll give you ten percent off!" the restaurant owner said warmly from behind the counter.
After the four of them entered the private room, Reika Hyuga began ordering. First came the vegetables and meat for grilling. To their surprise, she ordered fifty plates of meat in one go.
"Hey, hey, Linghua, there are only four of us! Why are you ordering so much meat? Can you finish it?" Ruri Hyuga asked as he watched from beside her.
"Exactly! Linghua, it'll be a waste if we can't finish it. And it'll cost quite a bit, too!" Akagimaru also felt that Linghua had ordered too much.
Momokusa Harukawa smiled beside them. "Don't worry, you two. You have no idea how much Linghua can eat!"
Ruri Hyuga and Akagimaru were left speechless as they watched the owner bring in plate after plate of meat.
"All right, everything you ordered is here. Just call me if you need anything else. Enjoy your meal!"
The restaurant owner stepped out of the room, and as he closed the door, Ruri and the others began eating the grilled meat and vegetables on the table.
After an hour, the four of them finally polished off all fifty plates of meat!
"Are you all full?" Reika Hyuga asked.
"Burp... yes. Absolutely stuffed!" Ruri said, leaning back in his chair and burping.
"I'm full, too! Aren't you full yet, Linghua?" Momokusa Harukawa asked, looking at Reika Hyuga.
Reika Hyuga smiled sheepishly. "Hehe, I'm actually still not full!"
As Reika Hyuga's close friend, Momokusa Harukawa naturally knew how big Linghua's appetite was.
Ruri's expression changed when he heard that. "My goodness! Are you a pig? How can you eat so much?"
With a helpless look, Ruri called the owner over and ordered another twenty plates of meat.
