Chapter 83: Yukihira Restaurant
Haru had practiced a chakra for several days. He was a reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki and he has all types of nature chakra. He wasn't sure whether he had a wood release or not but he was more interested in medical jutsu. He had learned mystical palm technique for several days on fish and himself. He had also received instructions from Tsunade and read a lot of her notes on medical jutsu.
His healing was good but he couldn't heal an illness or poison but the medical jutsu could heal them. He was focused on learning medical jutsu for the past few days.
Haru thought that he could use his light magic and Sticky Fingers for his offensive methods. He had also used this chance to train his physical abilities. Ever since he had become the reincarnation of Asura Ōtsutsuki his stamina and endurance had increased dramatically, even though, his physical ability didn't increase that much but the potential in his body was limitless.
Sora thought that he was trying to become a ninja when she saw him training in a similar way to ninja in Naruto Manga. She was curious and asked whether she could try to become one or not.
Haru helped her but the result was a failure.
Sora couldn't use magic or chakra but she didn't really feel down since she didn't think it was important. She thought the most important thing was that she could stay with her brother in the past few days.
Haru had also written his novel for the next volume and prepared his cafe to open. He had set up the advertis.e.m.e.nt and decided to open it in a few weeks. He wanted to continue to practice but he received a text from Yuri.
"I know some good places to eat, come with me!."
Haru, who received her message, decided to use this chance to relax and agreed with her invitation. He left his apartment and waited for her in front of the shopping district. He had never come to this place before and was wondering what kind of eatery that made her want to invite him.
"Sumiredōri Shopping District, huh?"
"Haru!!!!"
"Yuri," Haru turned and greeted her
"Let's go or else the place will be full," Yuri said while pulling his hand.
"Alright, I'm quite curious about what kind of food that makes you want to invite me," Haru said.
Yuri looked proud, "Don't worry, their food is awesome." She looked around and whispered, "I've tried to search for information about the chef and this person was the famous Asura from Tōtsuki Culinary Academy in the past, he has kept it a secret but with my intelligence gathering, it's very easy to find out about him, he told me to keep about his identity as a secret from everyone."
"Really?" Haru didn't expect to hear the name of Tōtsuki Culinary Academy. He felt that he had heard that name before but he kind of forgot about it since his memory from a past life was kind of jumbled. Though he could still remember some of them. He decided to let it go since he had a new family here. He knew that it was cold blooded but right now his only family in this was the most important thing in his heart.
Yuri nodded, "Your food is good but let's test the other restaurant." She hoped that he could increase his cooking skills by broadening his view about the culinary world.
Haru nodded while walking together. He wasn't sure whether she noticed it or not but she was holding his hand for a long time. He didn't really mind it since her hand was soft and she smelled really nice.
Yuri was too excited since she wanted to show something to him. She saw the restaurant and said, "That's the place."
Haru looked at the restaurant, "Hmm, Restaurant Yukihira?"
"Yes, let's enter," Yuri entered while pulled him together.
Both of them entered the restaurant and were greeted by the middle age man, "Welcome."
The middle-aged man looked quite surprised when he saw both of them, "Nakamura, is he your boyfriend?"
Yuri had a red face and shook her head, "N - no, he is my friend."
"Really?" The middle-aged man was observing him and said, "Alright, what do you want to eat?" He felt that the daughter that he had been taken care of for a long time had been stolen by this bad boy.
Haru twitched his lips when he saw his expression, "Let's see what your specialties are?"
"Hmm," the middle age man thought for a while and said, "How about fried rice?"
"Sure," Haru didn't think much about the food when he came to this restaurant. He looked at this old man and felt that he had seen him before.
"I'll have a karaage set," Yuri said.
Both of them sat side by side while waiting for the food.
"Alright, wait for a while," the middle age man said but stopped, "I forget to ask, what's your name?" He looked at his hands and felt it was the hand of a warrior. He went to a lot of countries and he could see that this young man is a martial artist or something.
"Haruka Kasugano," Haru answered.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Jouichiro Yukihira."
Both of them did a handshake together while looking at each other.
"What are you doing?" Yuri asked both of them.
"Nothing," Haru and Joichiro said at the same time.
"You've come to this place a lot of times?" Haru sat down and asked.
Yuri nodded and started to have nostalgia, "Yes, at that time, there were my siblings too."
Haru felt quite bad making her remember her past. He caressed her head slowly since it felt right at this moment, "They're happy right now, they don't want you to be sad."
"It's true, it's thanks to you," Yuri said while smiling at him. She was glad that she had met him or else she wouldn't know anything and lived with a hole in her heart.
Haru shook his head, "I didn't do anything, you're the one who was very brave and wanted to face your past at that time."
"I can't do it without you though," Yuri said and rested on his shoulder.
Everyone who saw this scene received damage. They had known this cute girl for a long time but someone suddenly became very close to her and made her act very meek. They were sure that they had never seen her like this before.
Jouchiro also sighed and looked at him while saying, "Don't hurt her boy."
"I won't," Haru felt weird but he still answered with a serious expression.
"What are you talking about?" Yuri looked at both of them.
"Nothing," both of them said at the same time.
"This is your fried rice, this is also a karaage set," Jouchiro said while serving their orders.
"Hurry up and try it," Yuri said, looking at him with anticipation. She wanted to see his reaction when ate the food since she saw a lot of people with a funny expression.
Haru nodded and scooped the fried rice into his mouth. He chewed it slowly and nodded, "It's good." He continued to eat it slowly without any reaction.
Everyone who saw his expression couldn't help but had a shocked expression while making an exaggerated pose, "WHAT!!!!!!!"
