Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 216 - Hono Dining House! Dragon And Iris!
"Is there anything that sticks to my face?" Iris asked as she watched Nagato continue to stare at her.
"No. There's no." Nagato replied with a faint smile looking at Iris's face.
"By the way Litha went?" Nagato switched the conversation because he saw Litha, Hika and Tika who went out with Chiaki, Chaika and Yuri.
Iris closed her eyes for a moment. "They went to Lake Sakura. There's a thousand lanterns flight in there." Iris answered. His eyes looked at the sambal that had been seen on the table.
"Dragon, aren't you horrified to see a sambal like this?" Iris gulped in disbelief at the sight of the sambal that she thought was so spicy.
Nagato smiled faintly. "No. Because I've loved spicy food since I was a kid. Maybe my late mother's favorite food has dropped on me." Nagato answered while looking at the sambal Iris stared at.
While Nagato and Iris were having a conversation, a maid dressed in pink clothes came carrying meat covered in chili sauce.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Young Master, Young Miss." The waiter smiled kindly at Nagato and Iris.
"This is chili meat. The level is stage three level three." The waiter placed the plate containing the meat onto the dining table, right in front of Nagato and Iris.
"Stage three level three?" Nagato raised his eyebrows but his eyes looked at the meat smeared with the chili. Meanwhile Iris gulped not because she was hungry and impatient to eat the food, but was horrified to see the taste of the food of the young man she loved.
"Include my name Okiayu. I am the owner of the new Hono Dining House." A change of attitude was seen on the face of the maid who turned out to be named Okiayu, and Okiayu herself was the owner of the Hono Dining House.
"So this is real, Fuyumi Nagato and Fuyumi Iris are lovers." Nagato and Iris' facial expressions suddenly turned red. "I've been very happy to see your match since the beginning of the Tiger Kai Tournament." Okiayu looks so happy.
Okiayu held Nagato and Iris' ring fingers attached to a ring, then he put their two ring fingers together so that the two hearts were seen together in both rings.
"You two are so compatible." Okiayu's words left Nagato and Iris speechless in a thousand languages.
"Eh .. sorry." Okiayu let out a long sigh and looked embarrassed. "I'm not polite to customers. My parents always told me, a customer is like a king. So please forgive my disrespectful attitude."
Nagato tries to look calm and hide his happy feelings as Okiayu tells Iris as her lover.
"King? Hmmm..." Nagato closed his eyes. "Can you tell me about stage three of level three?" Nagato switched the conversation and was greeted with a sumringah smile by Okiayu.
"Alright, I will explain it to Young Master and Young Miss." Okiayu pulled out a book, then showed the writing in the book.
"Any taste spiciness in food has its stages. The lowest is stage one and the highest is stage nine. Each stage has three levels: level one, level two and level three." Okiayu looked at Nagato and Iris who was sitting quietly listening to his explanation.
"Different levels, then the spicy taste of the food is also different, and until now no one has eaten spicy food stage nine level three." Okiayu added.
Nagato smiled faintly. Iris who saw him that smile felt that Nagato would do the unexpected.
"What are you going to say, Dragon?" Inner Iris was curious.
"I order one chicken and a stage nine third beef." Nagato looked at Okiayu with a faint smile. Then he complained. "It turns out the food level is like this. Extension."
Okiayu and Iris were stunned in disbelief at seeing the calm-looking Nagato. "Young Master, did you hear my explanation?" Ask Okiayu to make sure.
Nagato turned his gaze to look at Okiayu back. "I heard it." Nagato's head nodded softly, after which he looked back at Iris.
Okiayu swallowed. "According to mom and dad. People who ate a level nine, three spicy meal last time around 20 years ago. And now a young man wants to eat the hottest food in the Capital of Daifuzen. This is the most historic thing inside the Hono Dining House." Inner Okiayu while looking at Nagato was in disbelief.
"Mother, father! Table order number one. Spicy food stage nine level three one serving!" Okiayu yelled at his father and mother who were cooking in the kitchen.
"What?!" The surprised reaction of some customers who heard the screams of Okiayu even Okiayu's father and Okiayu's mother were also shocked. They all did not expect anyone to order the hottest food in the Capital of Daifuzen.
"Yes, Dad!" Okiayu.
"Please enjoy the meat of sambal level three third level, Young Master, Young Miss." Okiayu stood up and bowed, then he took out the paper on the payment table.
Nagato looked at Iris who looked in disbelief. "Let's eat. Don't be dumb." Take Nagato while shaking his hand in front of Iris's eyes.
"Dragon!" Iris looked at Nagato and turned her gaze to look at the meat covered in sambal. "How much do you like spicy food like this?"
Nagato was speechless at Iris's question. Nagato thought for a moment. He himself still did not really understand the reason why he liked spicy food so much.
"I don't know it myself. Does that love need a reason?" Nagato asked Iris again. His two eyeballs stared at the Hono Dining House lights.
Iris took a long breath. "Basic Dragon!" Fizz Iris. Then the beautiful girl asked Nagato again.
"In that case, I want to make sure of one thing." Nagato looked at Iris who was looking at him very seriously.
"Between me and this spicy food, which one do you choose?" Iris smiled faintly at Nagato's surprised look.
"Weight..." Nagato replied very softly. Iris who heard it immediately frowned and washed her face.
Nagato smiled faintly at the change in Iris's face. His heart played a calm melody and he loved moments like this.
"Iris, don't compare yourself to food. After all, you are more valuable to me than spicy food like this. You think I'm a man who would prefer food over a woman he cares about." Nagato's face flushed red after saying that.
"Dragon, sometimes your words make me feel good, but somehow I like to see you look as shy as you are today." Iris answered and laughed softly at Nagato who blushed in embarrassment.
"That's enough. Let's eat." Take Nagato to Iris. Nagato quickly ended the conversation. "Good meal." Nagato ate the meat smeared with a fork and a food knife.
"Good meal..." Iris gulped when she wanted to eat meat covered in sambal on the dining table.
Nagato ate the meat voraciously, his handsome face drenched in thin sweat making Iris palpitate to look at it.
The beautiful girl felt lucky that Nagato always took her for a walk. Even Iris was happy to see Nagato acting nature before her.
"Don't you feel spicy, Dragon?" Ask Iris to make sure.
"Try to eat." Nagato chewed the meat and swallowed it first. After that he stabbed the meat smeared with a fork, then he thrust it to Iris.
"Open your mouth." Nagato smiled faintly at the face of Iris who looked shudder looking at the sambal that smeared the meat.
Iris's wiggly finger touched the left side of her hair and pulled it over her ear. Then her thin and tiny lips slowly accepted a mouthful of spicy meat from Nagato.
"How's it?" Nagato smiled looking at Iris' widened eyes and her beautiful face was flushed like a tomato.
Iris chewed the meat first. "Geez!" Iris drank water. "Dragon! It's so spicy!" Iris commented on the food Nagato liked.
"Just tried it. Then don't force it to eat again. You've accepted my challenge." Nagato again ate the spicy meat. While Iris looked at Nagato closely.
Nagato finished off all the chili-stained meat on the plate. Then he looked at the face of Iris who was staring at him without blinking a single bit
"I'll buy you your favorite chocolate cake. After that we go to Lake Sakura to see the night view there." Nagato wanted to make Iris feel happy. At least that's what he wants to do with Iris tonight.
A sweet smile graced the pretty face of Iris. "I can buy it myself. I actually want to take you there, too." Said Iris while cleaning up the rest of the chili on Nagato's cheek with his wiggly finger.
