In the town of Tanzaku-gai in the northern part of the Land of Fire, a discreet carriage slowly entered the town after paying the entrance fee.
Shigeru and the others didn't immediately enter the Daimyo's Mansion. Instead, they looked for a place to stay and prepared to attack the Tanaka Daimyo family at night.
According to Zenitsu, the guards hired by Daimyo Tanaka were ninjas from the Zephyr clan.
The Zephyr clan is small, so small that Shigeru hasn't even heard of it. For a ninja like that, Shigeru naturally doesn't take it seriously.
After putting everything away, Shigeru and the other two left the hotel, preparing to take a walk around Tanzaku Castle for the day.
This town is considered a good town in the northern part of the Land of Fire. At least compared to the small towns Shigeru has visited before, it's more than prosperous.
On the shopping street, Shigeru walked ahead, followed by Zenitsu and Ushimaru. Oh no! He should be called Yamamoto Tetsuno now.
The three of them walked down the street like tourists from afar, buying snacks from time to time.
"Well, this barbecue is good, guys, try it."
Shigeru handed the barbecue skewers to the two people next to him.
Yamamoto Tetsuno hurriedly took the kebabs and said flatteredly, "Thank you, Master!"
Zenitsu, who was about to call Shigeru young clan leader, also quickly changed his words "Thank you, Master."
Afterwards, Shigeru walked around with meat skewers and talked nonsense, "When there's peace in the future, I'll definitely open a restaurant. Then I can ask the chef to make me whatever I want, hahaha..."
Beside him, Tetsuno laughed and said, "Young master's wish will definitely come true."
While chatting like this, Shigeru really wanted to open a restaurant.
The restaurant does not need to be large, as long as it can accommodate a dozen people eating at the same time.
However, his wish can only be imagined for now, and it will definitely not be realized in the near future.
When you unify the world and achieve peace in the future, you'll be able to open a shop like this to spend your retirement. By then, you'll no doubt be more famous than Ichiraku Ramen.
As they walked, Shigeru licked his lips and said, "I'm a little thirsty after eating all the way."
Hearing this, Yamamoto Tetsuno immediately said, "Master, there's a mung bean soup vendor over there. I'll buy it for him!"
After saying that, Yamamoto Tetsuno immediately ran towards the stall selling mung bean soup.
"Remember to buy two more cups!" Shigeru said with a smile.
Arriving at the stall, Yamamoto Tetsuno took out the money and said, "Chief, five servings of mung bean soup!" If he bought the mung bean soup, the young patriarch would definitely let him and his father drink it, but this way, what if one cup per person isn't enough for the young clan leader? So it's better to buy two more servings.
The mung bean soup stall appears to be old, perhaps passed down through generations for two or three generations.
After receiving the business, the boss immediately served five portions of mung bean soup.
Mung bean soup is packed in a large bamboo tube with wooden straws inside and then packaged in bags.
The price of five servings of mung bean soup like this isn't cheap. According to Yamamoto Tetsuno, it's estimated that 99% of the price is taken up by the bamboo tube and straw.
"Thank you!"
After paying, Yamamoto Tetsuno turned around with mung bean soup.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Yamamoto Tetsuno collided with a figure, followed by a scream.
"Princess, are you okay?" A girl dressed as a maid who was standing next to her quickly approached to help the woman on the ground.
After Yamamoto Tetsuno steadied the mung bean soup in his hand, he immediately apologized, "Sorry, sorry, are you okay?"
At the same time, a murmur filled him. "Princess? What kind of princess would you meet when you bought mung bean soup?"
At that moment the maid also helped the princess to get up.
"Hey! Who are you? Don't you have eyes?"
Although the princess didn't look so dazzling, she did have a rather delicate appearance. After standing up, she immediately angrily questioned Tetsuno.
Tetsuno knew it was his fault, so he apologized again, "Sorry, I was too careless."
The princess pouted and looked at Tetsuno. "You knocked me down. Did you think apologizing was enough?"
Tetsuno was speechless for a moment: "So what do you want?"
"I came to buy mung bean soup. Shouldn't you compensate me with something?" The princess placed her hands on her hips and said with a delicate look on her face.
Tetsuno understood instantly, "Boss, two more mung bean soups!"
The princess's hint was already obvious. If he didn't understand her again, wouldn't he be a fool?
Anyway, it was his fault for knocking it down, so this mung bean soup was considered an apology.
Hearing what the other party said, the princess's face turned into a smile. "Since you are so sensible, I will forgive you."
"By the way, you bought so much mung bean soup, can you drink it all by yourself? Don't you want me, the princess, to help you share the load?"
Tetsuno's mouth twitched slightly. "No need, I'm not drinking this alone."
After saying that, he looked over to where Shigeru and Zenitsu were, and saw Shigeru buying at a stall again, this time it seemed to be a squid.
Tetsuno immediately ran towards the stall selling squid with mung bean soup. "Princess, I'm leaving first!"
The princess nodded and then turned to look at the mung bean soup chief.
At that moment, the chief also served two portions of mung bean soup. The princess immediately began to drink it.
"Hmm~ It's delicious, hehehe…"
After finishing a portion of mung bean soup, the princess showed a happy smile on her face.
However, just as I was about to return with the second portion of mung bean soup.
"Princess, you haven't paid me yet." The boss couldn't help but remind her.
Hearing this, the princess was stunned. "Huh? Didn't that man just pay?"
The boss shook his head. "No, the man just ordered two portions."
"..."
"Ah! That bastard dares to mock me, don't let him catch you!"
