Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
It was a lot harder to find a single building in a town that you didn't know that well, when you didn't have a map of the town, and your phone didn't have the location of the church listed on it. The only real method was walking around town to try and find the place you were looking for, but the mall was a great place to look as well.
Or rather, a great place just enjoy yourself.
"Wooooooah." Asia had never been to a mall before, and she was excited at how large it was, and the many different stores inside of it. It was a supermall for a reason, and they found it by mistake while they were walking around town. She had her face pressed up against the glass of a shop that sold ice cream, and she was looking over all the different flavors.
There were 'street' performers in the mall itself, aka people with talents and skills who were attracting customers to the different stores.
"Apparently, Kuoh is a city that has a high foreigner population." Naruto explained to Asia when he saw an Indian woman dancing in front of a store in a rather sensual way. It was an underwear store, and she was dancing in her underwear to match the theme of the store. Naruto looked at Asia, and saw that she was just looking at the ice cream, and not the literally half-naked woman dancing in front of a lingerie store. "Want some ice cream?" Naruto asked her as he gestured into the store she was obsessed with.
"Uh!? I couldn't do that, we should get moving and-" Asia's stomach growled, so Naruto grabbed her hand and walked towards the food court. It wasn't going to be the ice cream that she wanted, ice cream wasn't filling enough for a growing stomach, so Naruto walked with her quickly speeding up her steps to walk beside him. "-it's okay, we should really ask for directions to the church." Asia spoke, only to stop when she smelled the different scents of the world in the food court.
Indian, Mexican, American, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and even Arabic food stores were all next to each other. That and more as they wrapped around the tables of the area in a circle, allowing anyone to shop at any food place and eat together.
Asia wiped her mouth when a small drip of saliva dropped from her lip to the floor, an embarassed blush on her face.
"You have any preferences?" Naruto asked Asia, and she looked towards the Italian resturaunt, and she saw the menu was in Japanese. She tilted her head in confusion, since despite being an Italian store, it still served Japanese clients. The language barrier hurtle was a high one to jump, and Naruto looked at her non-verbal preference. "Want to try something new then, since the menu doesn't have pictures?" Naruto asked her with a grin.
"Oh, sure, that sounds wonderful!" Asia didn't mind not getting her favorite food, she was happy to be able to try a new food with a new friend. She started to walk towards the Japanese food stall, but she was surprised when Naruto walked towards the Chinese stall instead. She quickly changed course and followed behind him. "Chinese is good too." Asia spoke to herself, since she kind of wanted to try Japanese cuisine.
Oh well, she had never had much Chinese before either.
"Any preference for flavor?" Naruto asked Asia for that as well.
"None."
"Okay then..." Naruto stood in line with Asia, and he got his wallet out and hissed at himself. He was going to take a bit of a chunk, but it was for a good case. Asia wasn't the only hungry one, he was kind of hungry as well. They stood in line for about 10 minutes, until they got up to the front.
"What can I get for you sir?"
-Play Music: Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia (Light Wind)-
"I'll have 4 orders Mapo Tofu, with 3 orders of Lan Zhou Ramen, 5 orders of dumplings, extra beef in the ramen... and my partner here will have a Chicken curry, anything to drink for you Asia?" Naruto asked her as he switched to English for her at the drop of a hat. She was completely ignorant to what he had ordered for them because of the language barrier, but she had to drink about a drink.
"Coke?"
"With 2 Dr. Peppers." Naruto stated to the clerk, and Asia heard that and she poked him in the side. She pouted at him as the drinks were made for them, and Naruto gave the clerk a sizable chunk of the money that was in his wallet.
They waited 8 minutes before getting their food, and Asia gawked when she saw that Naruto was carrying a ton of food with him. She was given her own plate of curry, since chicken curry was a chinese dish as well when prepared properly, and she was just amazed by how much he had gotten for himself.
"Can you eat all of that?" Asia asked Naruto as they sat down.
He had 12 plates in front of him, enough that everyone else who had seen him was staring at their table in shock. She was a little worried that he was going to waste quite a bit of food, and thus waste a lot of his money.
"I got extra so that you could try anything you wanted from mine order, I don't suggest the Mapo tofu though, it's kind of spicy." Naruto warned her as he took his spoon out and he started to dig in. Naruto took a bite of it, and he gave a grin of happiness at the taste of the food.
Asia gave it a glance, and Naruto took a bite's worth with his spoon and offered it to her.
"Thank you, but first let me..." Asia got a bottle of holy water out and rubbed her hands with a small splash of it, before clasping her hands together in silent prayer. It was a little bit before she finished, and she leaned forward and took a bite. "... Hot... hot, hot, spicy, hot!" Asia started to quickly breath in and out, before she took a bite of her own chicken curry, it was kind of spicy and sweet, and helped to offset the hot spice that she just put in her mouth.
"It's good though, right?" Naruto lifted the plate up to his face with one hand.
He devoured bite after bite of the plate, before in seconds it vanished down his gullet and he put the plate down. Naruto was slightly pink in the face, breathing quickly as he broke a sweat. He lifted the next plate up and started to work on it next. People stopped eating their own food when he finished the plate, and he switched to a plate of dumplings and started to take down plate after plate.
Asia, compared to him, was an absolute saint.
"Wow..." Asia was just amazed that he hadn't missed even a drop of food, or spilled any of it all over himself.
In the 10 minutes she took to eat, he took 8 minutes to finish off the vast majority of his food. She helped herself to half of his plate of tofu when he offered it to her again, and she worked up a sweat by eating it. She glanced at Naruto, and saw that he was sweating through his shirt, but still seemed to be enjoying the dish. She was completely satisfied with her dish and half of one of his, and she sipped at her drink when she saw Naruto get up and walk away from the table towards another food stall.
5 minutes later, Naruto came back with more food.
He had close to 10 burgers, and a side of fries with him and another drink. Each burger was different, meaning Naruto ordered 1 of every burger that they had, both chicken burgers and beef burgers.
"Here man, lets see if you can eat these too."
Another shopper and his girlfriend came up to the table with several orders of food, and placed it down on the table with the food Naruto ordered. They were just interested in seeing where it was all going to go, while Naruto was too focused on the food to be suspicious of the people giving it to him.
-1 Hour, 27 Minutes and a Massive Eating Montage Later-
"Go, go, go, go!"
It had become a spectacle as now over 100 people were standing around the food court, not even eating, just buying food with each other and putting it in front of Naruto. Rumor had spread that an eating king had appeared in the food court, and that no matter how much food he ate he seemed to never get any less hungry.
Asia was smiling and sitting closer to Naruto.
*Buuuuuuuurp*
"Ooooooh... that was a good meal... I'm..." Naruto undid his belt and tossed it to the ground, before he looked at the rest of the food on the table. Two of the stores had closed down completely for the day so they could restock, and the others were refusing to serve customers that were giving their food to Naruto. "... I'm still going." Naruto stated with a grin, since he wasn't paying for ANY of this food at this point.
"YYEEEEAH! The King is still hungry!"
Naruto finished his meal, before he stood up and raised a proud fist into the air. The crowd roared out their approval, none of them even caring that they wasted their own money to feed him. They were just happy to watch a monster eat several stores out of business for the day, and even if he seemed like a foreigner, that didn't matter in the face of the epic food conquest that he just managed.
"I have finished it all!" Naruto shouted to the crowd, both his fists raised into the air. "I am the boss of this mall, and a king's appetite is never satisfied! A great king is always hungry!" Naruto declared to the rest of the mall.
Truth: He was filled to the brim and beyond, even he didn't know where he put all the food.
"That was amazing!" Asia gushed as she looked over his belly. "Are you going to be okay?" Asia asked him with concern. Their table and many others were filled with the plates and trash from the orders that he had consumed.
Naruto grinned at her as the crowd dispersed.
"Stay here for just a moment."
With that he was gone.
'... He left the food court, I wonder what he is doing... I'm having so much fun. A lot of people were really interested in watching him eat.' Asia thought to herself as she was left alone with her thoughts. She didn't understand any of what people were saying as they were leaving, but entire groups of friends were laughing and giggling to each other over what they had witnessed.
Cold.
"Cold!?" Asia shouted in surprise when she felt something moist and cold touch her cheek, and she jerked around and saw Naruto standing behind her with two ice cream cones. Her eyes widened for a moment, and Naruto passed it to her with a forced neutral look.
"Here, we can finish with this and get back to looking for the church." Naruto was more awkward than before, having had a moment to think about the fun he was having. Asia was a really dangerous person to his ideals on women, the more time he spent with her, the more she proved everything he knew about women wrong.
Asia smiled at Naruto.
He just scratched his cheek.
"Consider it... an apology for taking so long to eat." Naruto told her, and she just giggled into her hand. Naruto blinked when he realized that what they had been doing so far might be something completely different than what they started out planning.
Was this turning into a date?
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Okay, so maybe I should give everyone more time to get to 100 reviews.
Lets try again!
This time I will give 40 hours before I start writing the next chapter to be fair, and lets see about getting to those 100 good reviews in that amount of time!
Also, lets say that Naruto's Servants will each have different reactions to Asia.
Only 2 of Naruto's Servants will have a positive reaction to her, have fun with that knowledge.
