Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Tanzaku Town. As one of the most prosperous towns in the Land of Fire, it is a famous tourist attraction.
But more than two years ago, in a battle, the castle was destroyed, which had a great impact on the popularity of the town, but thanks to the efforts of the Daimyo and Hokage, reconstruction work began, and in just two years, a huge castle was erected again.
With a cool breeze and cherry blossom trees everywhere, the whole town is filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Today is an annual festival where many people from all over the country gather here and the different stalls that line the road attract them.
"Wow!! It's so lively!!".
Two figures appeared at the entrance of the town, and a blonde girl in a red kimono looked at the lively town in front of her in amazement.
"Follow me".
Ino said expectantly, motioning for Shingen, who was standing behind her with a wooden face, to follow her.
"Here we are!".
Following Ino, Shingen came to the outside of a kimono shop, and there were several eye-catching kimonos hanging outside.
"Kimono?"
Shingen was a little confused, and he wondered if Ino's mission was related to this shop.
"Come in, Shingen-kun".
Ino said to Shingen that he walked into the store, and the confused Shingen had no choice but to follow her in.
"For you, Shingen, try this ...".
Effortlessly, Ino led Shingen to the men's section, picked out a black kimono, handed it to him, and said.
"Is this a task that requires disguise?".
Shingen looked at the kimono in his hand, thought in his heart, and walked absent-mindedly to the dressing room.
"Wow!! How handsome!!".
Soon, Shingen, who was wearing a black kimono, appeared in front of Ino and almost drove her crazy, and she shouted wildly in her heart.
Shingen's short hair fell down, and his handsome face with small scars raised his charm to a new level, and his indifferent yellow eyes were even more fascinating.
Shingen's Sword was gone, and he put it into the scroll, after all, it was most likely a mission that required disguise, and his Sword would attract attention.
"Let me do it".
After being shocked for a moment, Ino led him to the counter and took out her pink patterned purse, but Shingen stopped her because it was against his dignity.
Although this was a mission, he didn't want to be misunderstood as a person who was being taken care of by a woman, so Shingen took out his wallet and asked for the price.
"Shingen-kun is really careful and considerate!".
Inoi thought to herself, blinking her cute eyes and looking at Shingen's side face, he was talking to the lady at the counter about the price.
"Now let's go get something to eat!".
After leaving the kimono shop, Shingen thought it was finally time for the mission to begin, but he was taken outside a restaurant.
What kind of task is this?".
"Don't stand there stupidly, let's go in!".
Looking at the restaurant, Shingen couldn't help but think like this, but just as he was about to ask, his hand was suddenly grabbed, and Shingen was suddenly pulled into the restaurant
"Meat... Meat... Isn't there a healthy dish?".
But the embarrassed look on her face quickly disappeared and was replaced by a complaining look, because most of the dishes were meat, and there were no healthier options.
"You can try this."
But just when she was hesitating, a voice fell on her ears, and she looked at Shingen, a little incredulous, thinking that she might be hallucinating.
"Did you just say something, Shingen?".
Ino looked at him and asked, she couldn't believe that Shingen would take the initiative to speak, thinking that maybe it was just an illusion.
"If you want to eat healthy food, you can try tofu, which is a substitute for meat, and buckwheat is also good and has an anti-aging effect."
With a calm expression on his face, Shingen pointed to a dish on the menu, although his eyes revealed a look of expectation. But this expression is like a parent's advice to their child, hoping that the child will act according to his words.
"You know so much, Shingen-kun!".
Ino said in surprise that she understood one thing, Shingen seemed to know a lot about food, and she could continue the conversation through this topic.
"Ino, this is the opportunity you've been looking for, don't miss it!".
Ino clenched her fists and reminded herself in her heart. She wasn't very hungry, but she hoped that the conversation that Shingen had started would continue, as it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I Living Alone, so I only cook when I have time, and I did a lot of research about different ingredients and their effects. "
Hearing her praise, Shingen was silent for a while, and then he spoke with some light in his eyes, and no one could suppress talking about his hobbies, even shingen.
"Shingen, you are amazing, you are not only strong, but you can also cook, and I don't know anything about cooking...".
Ino said, with a sad look on her face, looking at Shingen with an aggrieved look.
"Hmm... In fact... If you put your heart into cooking... It's not hard... You'll definitely learn...".
Seeing the aggrieved look in Ino's eyes, Shingen said with some surprise that for him, his words might have really hurt her.
"Really... But I don't have anyone to teach me ... Oh, yes... Why don't you teach me, I want to try the food you make too".
Shingen's encouragement ignited the fire of hope in Ino's eyes, and suddenly she seemed to think of something and asked with an expectant look.
"Teach... I...".
Hearing her request, Shingen hesitated slightly, because he didn't have time to teach her, and he wanted to refuse, but seeing her looking at him, her eyes widened, and the anticipation was clearly visible, he stopped the idea of refusing.
"Please agree!!".
Ino clenched her hands into fists, her heart beating faster and her face flushed, she knew that the most important moment had arrived.
"Hah...".
"I... I'll teach you...".
Seeing the look of anticipation in her eyes, Shingen found that he couldn't refuse her, and he whispered his decision with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Yay!!".
A loud cheer rang out in the dining room, attracting everyone's attention, as they looked at the girl in the red kimono, who raised her arms and struck each other with her raised hands.
"Ah, I'm sorry!!".
"It's embarrassing!!".
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, even the bold Ino was embarrassed, and she lowered her head and did not dare to raise it.
"Hah...".
Seeing her like this, Shingen laughed lightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and unconsciously, he felt very happy with her.
"Hmm...".
"I want to eat meat!!".
Seeing Shingen laughing at himself, Ino also blushed a little when she looked at it, puffed out her cheeks like a hamster stuffed with melon seeds in his mouth, and pretended to be angry and said.
The food was quickly served, and Ino mercilessly stabbed the bamboo chopsticks into the meat, took a vicious bite, looked at Shingen, and imagined that the meat on the chopsticks was Shingen.
"Women are really unpredictable creatures".
Looking at the girl in front of him, Shingen scratched his head in some confusion, even after two lives, he still couldn't understand women.
