You helped serve a bunch of villagers who came running to your little ramen shop, at first intrigued, they've been asking for more again and again. It was almost overwhelming.
"It's so chewy and amazing!" that kid Ganen exclaimed as he ate his third bowl.
"Is really IS delicious! The most delicious thing I've ever eaten!" a young woman said after tasting, seeing as the village's gourmet is loving it.
"(Y/n)-chan! Another bowl please!" Suika, doing the service, asked.
"Ah-Another one! How hungry are they?!"

"So you're the one who made this incredibly tasty dish?" that Ruby girl asked, with a hint of flirting, as Senku handed her a bowl. "You're...Senku right? What kind of girl do you like?"
"The kind of girl that brings me materials and help me for iron-making." he immediately responded.
"You're way too straightforward!" Kohaku glared at him. "You seriously don't beat around the bush..."
"He was never one for small talk." you smiled.

"This seriously makes me wish I had something to drink." you heard a voice say. "Like cola."

Your eyes widen and you froze in place. You glanced at where the voice came from to see a man eating by himself, his back turned towards you. What creeped you out was the fact that you don't remember ever serving this guy, let alone see him. You looked at Senku, who seemed to have realize it too.
"Cola...?" he quietly repeated.
"Is that one of your friends?" Kohaku asked the two of you.
As he placed his chopsticks down, you shook your head with an anxious expression.

She kept her composure and walked over to Ginrou and Kinrou, who have been struggling to not eat anything Chrome was trying to offer them.
"Sorry to break up the argument. I'll bring the explanation short and to the point."
"What's wrong?" Kinrou asked.
"An enemy."
Those few words were enough for the two guards to understand. Quickly and swiftly, they surrounded the stranger, pointing their weapons to his neck. He didn't react in the slightest.

"Answer truthfully." Kohaku commanded. "Don't even think about lying or I'll cut your throat open right here right now. Are you one of the long haired man's people?"
A moment of silence passed, you gulped, feeling the tension of the situation. Finally, he spoke.
"Mmmh~ being taken out by a cutie like you might not be so bad... But I think you're mistaking me for someone else." he raised his head, smiling. "I have no idea who this long haired man is. Ever since I broke free of the stone, I've been all on my own."

You let out a little 'oh' once you recognized him.
"You're Asagiri Gen." you pointed at him.
"Ohoho~ a fan perhaps?"
"Not really actually." you frowned.
His smile slightly widen, he must've known you were lying. You were never interested in his books though you did find him entertaining on tv, but you didn't wanna give him such satisfaction in that knowledge.

"An acquaintance of yours?" Kohaku asked.
"Not even in 1mm." Senku folded his arms. "He's a mentalist that writes these garbage psychology books."
"Oh, you've read them? I'm happy to hear that~! But garbage? That's a little harsh." he said, his smile not fading. "Anyway, I apologize for indulging in your ramen all on my own. Now would you please lower your weapons?" his eyebrows furrowed. "I'm so scared I'm shaking. I might end up spilling this ramen you worked so hard on."

He slowly raised his bowl to Ginrou's direction, knowing he'd act on it. He dropped his spear.
"I'll...I'll take it off your hands!"
He took the bowl and went to a corner to eat.
"There I was, out searching for food today..." Gen continued. "When, imaging my surprise! The nostalgic smell of ramen came wafting through the air~!"

As he was talking, you chewed on your bottom lip. You didn't know if it was his creepy entrance, or the fact he's a professional mentalist, either way you did not want to be alone with him. Or near him, or be the focus of his attention. Not like that last one's gonna happen you thought.
