Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

The grilled fish shop that Odagiri mentioned is not far from the entrance of the city. There are two long grills outside the house, filled with white-bellied mackerel, a specialty of the Land of Hot Springs. A middle-aged man with a haggard face is fiddling with and flipping fish between the two grills, but he is busy but not chaotic. The aroma of grilled fish wafts into the street.

I stepped over the sign hanging in front of the door that read "Underground Grilled Fish" and entered the store. There were about ten tables, most of which were occupied by customers. A girl about thirteen or fourteen years old was taking orders, serving dishes, and pouring wine. She was very busy.

When he saw me and Odagiri enter the store, he quickly greeted us: "There is still room for two guests. What would you like to order?"

Odagiri and I followed the girl and sat down against the wall. Odagiri said, "I want two special white-bellied mackerel and a pot of sake, Lord Hyuga. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, that's it for now." I just came to taste the specialties of the Land of Hot Springs, I don't have any requirements.

"Father, two more white mackerel." The girl called to the middle-aged man outside the door, and then went into the kitchen, brought out a pot of sake and two wine glasses, and poured a glass of sake for Odagiri and me: "Enjoy your meal, the grilled fish will be ready soon."

After the girl finished speaking, another customer came in, and she immediately went to greet him. Odagiri gestured for me to taste the sake in the glass: "I heard that this store has been open for more than 40 years, and the owner's father's generation has been here."

"The sake is also brewed by the store itself. It has a clear taste and is slightly sweet. It is very famous near the Corner City and even on this route."

I picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. Although I rarely drink, I can really feel that this sake tastes good: "Hmm, it's really delicious."

While I was talking to Odagiri, the girl came in from outside and said, "Guest, please enjoy the two white-bellied mackerel you ordered."

I put down the cup in my hand and looked at the grilled fish on the plate. Compared with the common mackerel, the white-bellied mackerel, as the name suggests, has a milky white belly, which makes people's appetite increase at a glance. In addition, its body size is also larger than that of ordinary mackerel.

I picked up the grilled fish and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of fragrance. No wonder Odagiri praised the grilled fish here so much and couldn't forget it.

Although it was a bit bigger than the normal mackerel, it was only a matter of a few bites for me. After I finished eating it, I thought it tasted really good, so I called out to the busy girl, "Two more grilled fish."

The girl cleared the table of dishes from the guest who had just left. When she heard what I said, she turned around and said, "Okay, two grilled fishes. Please wait a moment."

After a while, two freshly grilled white-bellied mackerels were served. Odagiri and I washed down the two grilled fish with sake, then paid the bill and left.

"Goodbye, sir." As we walked out of the store, the girl and the middle-aged man who was grilling fish said goodbye to Odagiri and me.

"Is the hot spring hotel you mentioned far from here?" After eating and drinking, it's time to experience the special hot springs of the Land of Hot Springs.

"Most of the hot spring hotels here are located at the foot of the mountain outside the city. They are less than twenty miles away from the city and should be reachable in an hour. If we set off now, we can rest there for a night and return to the fleet before noon tomorrow." Odagiri replied.

"Okay, let's go and experience it." I signaled Odagiri to lead the way and prepare to head to the hot spring hotel outside the city.

The foot of the mountain where the hot spring hotel is located is located in the north of Kakuno Castle. Odagiri and I entered the city from Kakuno Port on the west side. After dinner, we were only a few steps away from the city center. If we want to go to the hot spring hotel outside the city, we need to exit the city from the north gate.

Odagiri has been here many times. He took me a few steps and turned into the avenue leading to the north gate of the city. It seemed that there were not as many pedestrians here as in the west: "Most of the crew members and sailors eat and live in the west of the city. After all, it is more convenient to be closer to the Cape Port. Generally, only the adults go to the hot spring hotel to rest."

I looked at the fewer and fewer pedestrians and nodded. After all, Horn City was built on the basis of Horn Harbor. Most of the people living in it were sailors and dock workers, and they did not enjoy the luxury of hot spring hotels. Only the captains of the passing fleets or the top executives of the Chamber of Commerce had the time and money to enjoy them.

Odagiri should have been there several times with the captain of this fleet, so he is more familiar with these things. Otherwise, it would be difficult to support such expenses with the salary of an ordinary crew member.

It is less than twenty miles from Corner City to the hot spring hotel, which takes about an hour at the average person's speed. In fact, it is more convenient to hire a carriage.

However, I wanted to visit the natural scenery of Yunokuni, and I had plenty of time, so I rejected Odagiri's suggestion to take a carriage, and instead came out of the north gate of Kakuno Castle and started walking.

Although Odagiri was not a ninja or a samurai, he had been working on ships for many years and his physical fitness was not bad. He had no problem walking a distance of less than 20 miles.
