The Shame Into the Naruto World

Ch.67 Eat Without Pay

...Eating Without Pay...

...(.(.The author wants to!)...

After a brief tragedy that brought blessings to the two of them, the three headed to one of the diners not far from there. Naruto and Eriza who are outsiders do not know this tavern at all, but May who is a native of the capital is quite familiar with this place, so she became the guide of both of them.

Naruto and Eriza only learned of this eatery from a sign that read "Stone Kiln Pavilion". Well, they also care less about it. The important thing is to eat, then they will be full after. And again because of the three of them, the atmosphere between them was not too awkward.

Actually the author also wondered, has Naruto become a Harem character now? However, around him is a woman, while he alone is a man among them. If only this were a romantic novel, then Naruto would really be the protagonist of Harem, already not the protagonist of Shounen.

"So, May, can you tell me why you're here and you seem so nervous?" naruto asked while making a friendly smile, unhappy, and convincing to be trusted.

He wanted to make this girl in front of him open up more to him. Naruto didn't really expect May to reveal everything so easily, but at least she wanted to make May say a little about her, other than her own name.

Naruto does not have much experience about communicating, while in Konoha he is most often with Elena, and does not have many friends at all. Besides Elena, maybe she is also close to Iruka who is her teacher and Sasuke who is her rival. Even after coming to this world, Naruto did not talk much with the mercenaries and spent more time with Eriza, the members of his group, and Tom who was their helper.

Naruto's communication skills are not bad. In his anime, he has a secret style that the author prefers to call Talk no Jutsu, which is able to move the feelings of his enemies and make them repent. Well, his name is also Shounen's story. It is only natural that many plots tell about effort, hard work, and togetherness.

"I don't feel anxious at all!" may replied while shouting and hitting the table.

Although they went to a place to eat, they did not order any food. His name is also life-saving, you know for yourself, right, if in the cafe the price does not make sense for boarding children and millennial generation like Elena and Naruto.

"Answer with a shout, hit the table spontaneously, and wear a hood that covers the head. All that is more than enough to tell if you are currently agitated and like you are avoiding something. Shouldn't there be something you need to say to both of us?" Naruto gave Mau a look, urging him to give a truthful answer.

"Anu, we're actually in a public place. Can you not hit his desk? I think it'll have a bad effect on us." Eriza directs an awkward smile at May, hinting if something bad is going on with them, so May needs to act more calm.

May looked around them, where the other customers were. He immediately realized his mistake and said, "Sorry! I-I didn't do it on purpose!" He lowered his head to all of them.

The previously disturbed customers ignored them and returned to their respective affairs. After all, also, they didn't come here to take care of a little girl who made some mistakes. There is no point in them taking care of May, and Mau has apologized quite rightly to them.

The two set their eyes on each other, waiting for their thoughts. Both were hesitant whether to accept this offer, or to subtly reject it. Surely the instinct of those who are explorers and a noob ninja feels strange and makes them suspicious of May's actions.

A little girl with a suspicious gurgle tries to treat them to a meal, whereas she was restless before, worrying about something to the point that the girl bumps into one of the two of them. Not only that, the girl also shifted the topic when asked about her origin, and did not have a surname that she seemed to be hiding.

So, yeah, there it's not like in Indonesia, guys. If in Indonesia usually someone is given a random name, there it is called a family name to indicate and can be used to track their family tree. Meanwhile, May here does not preach her surname, and only gives her first name.

"Fumu, okay. I don't think that's a bad offer. I accept your offer with pleasure, "Naruto replied with a nod.

This food may still seem foreign to Naruto living in Konoha, where the culture is similar to Japan while currently they are in the more westernized (European) kingdom of Earlshide. However, he prefers to agree with the menu, because he himself feels unfamiliar with the other menu.

In addition, because May chose this menu, it means that May indirectly recommends it on both. From here Naruto is sure that, the menu that will be served to them both is suitable for children to eat, which certainly also suits him.

Eriza, who saw Naruto agree, agreed to May's offer. "Yes, me too. After all I've been feeling hungry since a while ago." Smiling with friendly.

'Well, after all this was a public diner, not something that was cooked by him personally. There should be no poison or other assassination attempts aimed at us. And if there is, I just need to fight back on them, Eriza's inner self.

'I have not yet learned Seennin mode completely, but I can use natural energy directly without collecting it first. At least I can destroy this building, which is an ordinary feat for a normal witch size. Hopefully no one is involved, I don't want to hurt anyone in the process.

"Alright! Then I'll order an apple pie for the three of us!" May turned to a waiter. "Servant! One Apple Pie, please!"

Naruto and Eriza choose to calm down and be alert if the worst possible happens. Naruto cannot underestimate a person from his appearance, even if he knows that the majority of people in this world are much weaker than in his world. But in very small possibilities, sometimes a unique individual appears and can shock the world. This is what Naruto is worried about. As for Eriza, she had faced small demon beasts quite often but it turned out to be quite difficult to face. He also realized that judging by appearance was a bad choice.

Just as they were putting on a lookout for May, suddenly they both felt something cold pointing at their necks. The two still did not see what it was, but both felt that it was a sword ready to behead the two.

"Don't move! What did you do to the Princess!"
