Haru was satisfied with the ramen that he had eaten. He tried to list the ingredients inside the broth but he couldn't since it seemed that there were some ingredients that he had never tried before. He wanted to find a substitute for that ingredient, but he knew that it wouldn't be perfect unless he owned God's Tongue.
"It's unbelievable."
Yajima shook his head and had a bliss expression on his face since he had never tasted ramen this tasty before. He wanted to ask for the recipe but he knew it would be very rude to the chef in front of him.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it," Teuchi said with a smile.
Haru wanted to ask Teuchi to teach him how to make this ramen, but he had a feeling that it would be impossible for Teuchi to answer him unless he became Teuhi's son-in-law. He let out a long sigh and decided to become a customer.
'I'll have to bring Sora here in the future.'
They talked for a while before deciding to continue their tour in Konoha.
They wanted to taste the famous dango since they knew that it was one of the famous cuisines before ramen since dango was the favorite snack of Uchiha Itachi.
Unlike everyone who was quite calm, Gintoki was very excited and urged them to move very quickly.
Gintoki was a sweet sommelier after all. Sugar was his blood and candy was his bone. Even though the doctor had told him to slow down on his sweets, that was an impossible task. He knew that it was dangerous, even so.... he would eat his sweets no matter what!
When they were walking, they couldn't help but talk about the new members that might join them in the future.
"I wonder if someone from the gourmet manga will be invited to our group chat?" Gintoki asked.
Yajima nodded and said, "Yeah, it will be good to have someone from that kind of world."
"Well, maybe after this quest, there will be new members," Haru said.
Gintoki pumped and raised his hand to the sky. "Alright, I am starting to get excited!!"
They laughed and talked together then before long they had arrived in front of the dango shop.
"Aunty, please give all of us a dango in your shop!" Gintoki said then added, "Mine with extra sugar."
Tsunade looked at Gintoki and said, "You shouldn't eat that much sweet food, you will get diabetes."
"It's fine, it's fine, sweet is justice," Gintoki said.
Tsunade looked at Gintoki and she wasn't going to tell him that she wouldn't pay for his dango later.
Sitting in the shop, they could see a ninja walking around the street.
"Is that Sunagakure's ninja?" Kuroneko asked.
Haru turned his head and saw a ninja with a headband of "Sunagakure".
"From their headbands, they're from that village."
Not only Sunagakure, they could also see a ninja from Otogakure.
Tsunade gritted her teeth and held the anger on her heart. She knew that she needed to be patient or else the plan which had been set up would go awry since the one that they had been waiting for hadn't entered the trap.
Haru wasn't sure what to say and he knew that there would be a war. He wasn't sure whether he was ready for this since he came from a normal world. He might have had an experience at fighting, but that was only with normal people, not with a fucking ninja.
Haru knew that it was better to hide until the quest ended. He was about to grab the dango, but then he realized that all of it had already been eaten.
"......."
Haru was speechless and looked at Gintoki who had eaten all of his dango. He knew that he had promised him to give all of his dango, but even so...
'Can't he leave me one?'
"I'm satisfied."
Gintoki patted his bloated stomach with a smile. He wanted to eat more, but no one would give him more. However, he was glad that Haru had given him his share in exchange for a spar later.
Gintoki looked at Haru and said, "Haru-kun, you should be ready later. I will be your teacher and teach you." He missed a pair of glasses at this moment since he wanted to be more professional.
"Haru, you can take one from me," Shizune said kindly with a smile.
"Shizune-San...."
Haru felt that he had seen an angel. He took the dango from Shizune and said, "Thank you, Shizune-san." He ate the dango then let out a long sigh. "If someone marries you in the future, I am sure that he'll be very lucky to have you as his wife." He understood why Itachi was addicted to this dango since it was just so delicious.
The smooth, round, and chewy dango burst out a sweetness in his mouth, however, he knew that he couldn't eat too much.
Shizune blushed and felt quite happy that she was being praised. "You can eat more if you want, I feel quite full earlier."
"No, you should eat too. I'm glad that you shared some with me." Haru then smiled and thought to tease this older woman. "If you want, I can feed you as my thanks before."
"Eh?"
Shizune was startled since it was the first time someone had offered her this kind of service.
"You don't want to?" Haru looked at Shizune with a smile.
"W... Well..." Shizune was a bit shy, but somehow, she wanted to play along with him. She opened her mouth and let him feed her.
"Is it good?" Haru asked.
"It's good." Shizune smiled.
".........."
Kuroneko and Gintoki looked at their interaction from the side with a speechless expression.
"As expected of the harem protagonist," Kuroneko said.
"Boss, do you think he will conquer women in this world too?" Gintoki asked Kuroneko.
Kuroneko closed both of her eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Gintoki-kun, Haru's existence is very dangerous for every woman in dimension, we need to guard them and stop him from defiling every girl in various worlds."
Gintoki nodded, but suddenly realized something and asked, "Boss, what if you're being seduced by him?"
"Eh?"
Kuroneko wasn't sure when she was asked this question. "I - I won't be seduced by him!" She answered this question with a hurry tone and a light blush on both of her cheeks.
"..........."
Gintoki blinked his eyes and knew that it was only a time for Kuroneko to fall down.
Kuroneko snorted and wanted to calm herself somewhere. She picked up her cup of tea then stood up to move her location, but suddenly she slipped!
Haru then quickly caught Kuroneko in his arms, hugging her so she wouldn't fall to the ground. His pants were wet because of Kuroneko's tea, but he didn't care much and asked, "Kuroneko, are you alright?"
"Ah... I - I am alright..." Kuroneko hung her head down, trying to hide the blush on her face.
"..........."
"BOSS!!!"
Gintoki didn't expect his boss to fall for him so easily. He let out a long sigh then shook his head in admiration, looking at the young man who had done all of this easily in front of his eyes.
"As expected of the harem protagonist!"
"I am not a harem protagonist!"
'What the heck is a harem protagonist?'
Haru knew very well about his story, but he couldn't accept such an identity so abruptly. He had changed, probably.
When they were bickering to each other, Yajima and Tsunade sat next to each other, drinking tea together with a peaceful expression on their faces.
"Young is very good..." Yajima smiled, looking at everyone.
"I'm not old, you're the only one who is old."
Tsunade snorted and felt a bit annoyed by Yajima's words. She definitely wouldn't admit that she was old!
"......"
Yajima could only twitch his lips and sighed, it was the only thing that he could do at that moment.
Anyway, their first tour in Konoha was very good, it was their impression at this moment before the war started....
