Santri Famiglia's

Sake

"Ara, the same Motohira, irasshaimase!" greet a maid with a big smile.

Sanubari observed the interactions around him. Judging from the way they interacted, it seemed like this team was already a regular customer.

"Itsumo no bashou desu ne?" The woman made sure they wanted to book the place as usual.

The man who smiled most often among Eiji's team replied softly, "Sou desu."

"Ano saa, Sono Mae, issho ni shashin o totemo this desu KA?"

The woman even asked for a photo together. Sanubari. His view of the mafia became more complicated after seeing this event. He could only contend, "Is the mafia on par with idols?"

At this point, Sanubari became completely confused. He no longer knew what the mafia was. Everything was vague to him.

The woman guides Eiji's team to the innermost room of the tavern. There is a room leading to a traditional Japanese garden.

The gurgling of water and the occasional bamboo tap that rang every time the water was full sounded soothing. There is also a gravel courtyard decorated in zen style.

With that natural background they met the photo. After taking pictures, the four men sat across. They ordered the same menu.

"So, the name of this smiley sister is Motohira?" Sanubari looked at Sai who was sitting in front of him.

"What's? You're saying this ice demon is a cheap smile?" kekeh Renji while pressing Sai's left right cheek with index finger and thumb. He moved the quiet man's head.

"But, from the beginning I noticed, Mr. Motohira really likes a smile" said Sanubari.

Renji is laughing. "Don't be fooled by his looks!"

"Already! We've been working together today, but haven't got the introduction right" said Eiji, who sat next to Sanubari.

"Ah, right too. My name is Mitarai Renji. Just call Ren! The man next to me is Motohira Saiyuki. You can call him Sai," Renji pointed at Sai before finally lowering his hand, "and to our chairman, it seems you already know."

Sanubari. "I'm a big fan of Shiragami Eiji."

"You said that from earlier. Are you trying to take Eiji's heart?" ask Renji.

"Actually, this guy is not at all qualified to be our member. If it wasn't for his physical dexterity, maybe I'd never have accepted it" Eiji said propping up his chin.

"Then, just throw him into another division!" renji's suggestion is to rewind, propping up with both hands.

"Unfortunately, only our team whose Indonesian language is quite good. So, there's no one to match but our team."

Sanubari was relieved to hear Eiji's reply. He did not have to worry about being diverted to another place. One by one the door to the future plan slowly opened. Next, he stayed to think about how to bring Eiji out of Onyoudan.

""Omatase shimashita!" A waiter carries two trays of hitsumabushi packs. He put it on the table, then took the other two portions.

Sanubari opened the cup that closed the large bowl. The tanned color of the eel meat covering the entire surface of the bowl looks very appetizing. He licked his lips.

He directly cut the meat with chopsticks, stuffing it into his mouth along with the warm rice that was underneath. The soft texture of boneless eel meat and its savory taste greatly indulges the tongue. Next, he directly finished the seaweed and and the chives together with the second feed to four.

"Hay! There is a way to enjoy hitsumabushi loh! Here too is written the English version," Renji took the laminated leaflet and showed it to Sanubari, "don't you want to try it, Sanu?"

"It's important to eat. It's the same, isn't it?" Sanubari raised his gaze.

He was not interested in the rules of eating. Unlike Sanubari, Sai always tries one method after another calmly. Starting from just eating meat with rice, to pouring miso on rice and meat that has been moved to a small cup.

"Alright, let's toast to the new members!" take Renji with you as soon as everyone is done eating.

Sanubari took a cup of tea. However, Renji took it. He replaced the tea with sake.

Eiji moved away the glass that Renji was offering. "He is under age. It's okay to miss this part now."

"What is age? Isn't it important that we have fun now?" Renji remained pushy as he sipped a glass of sake.

"I'm sorry, but I can't drink alcohol" Sanubari said.

"From now on you will." Renji grinned.

Suddenly, he sat next to Sanubari, carrying a bottle of sake. Strongly, he curled the teenager and stuck a bottle of sake into his mouth.

Sanubari. Sake flowed from the corner of his lips to wet his clothes. While some are swallowed. Eiji who was sitting next to Sanubari immediately glared at Renji.

The man snapped, "Ren! Don't impose your will on him!"

Eiji gripped the bottle. Keep the bottle out of Sanubari's mouth. Sake splattered everywhere as he had to pit each other for energy with Renji.

"I'm sure he'll get hooked once he tastes it. Isn't this delicious, Sanu?" Renji laughs.

Sanubari rubbed the area around his mouth with the back of his hand. She shook her head. His body felt hot after accidentally swallowing a few gulps.

Without caring about Eiji, Renji again offers, "Drink again, Sanu?"

"No way." Sanubari looked down while shaking. His head suddenly dizzy.

"Drink yourself if you want to get drunk! Don't take Sanu!" Eiji is still trying to protect Sanubari. He continues to reject Renji's hand that was extended to Sanubari.

"Hot," said Sanubari very softly. He felt his body uncomfortable.

Renji could hear Sanubari saying very slowly. He grabbed a glass of tea, then handed it to Sanubari. "Drink this tea. It'll refresh you."

Without a second thought, Sanubari swallowed it in one breath. As soon as it ran out, he realized something was not right. "Why is the taste of the tea strange?"

Sanubari has been living in Japan for several days. Of course he knew how the taste of Japanese tea was not at all sweet, and what he had just drunk was not tea. It was what Sanubari believed in floating consciousness.

A blink later, the glass slumped from Sanubari's hand, rolling on the table. The teenager fell backwards.

"Sanu!" exclaimed Eiji who then patted Sanubari on the cheek to wake him up.

Renji turns the body while holding the sake glass with her index finger and thumb. He smiled smugly looking at the Sanubari he had just cheated on. "It turns out, he's weaker than you, Chairman Ei."

Renji giggles. Sai on the other side enjoyed his pocket elegantly without getting involved in the commotion. Once upon a time, he was in a similar position. The culprit is the same person. Fortunately, he had a fairly high tolerance for alcohol.

His name Sai was inspired from Kera Sakti because I like Kera Sakti. Haha.

Saiyuki: travel to the west

LOL

Originally, I wanted to give the Nishigami clan (western god) to connect with the Saiyukinya. But, in the end, I chose Motohira for the Sai clan.

Names are sometimes troublesome. It took me a long time to think about it.

So-called. See you in the next episode!
