4/7 Late Afternoon - Silver Dragon Restaurant
You gotta be kidding...
First Maki-Maki shows up to send chills down everyone's spines, and now this. Eri, the town's resident ninja-obsessed weirdo, shows up, and almost burns the place down in the process. Naturally, the staff immediately yell her out of the building, but not before she says something to Maki-Maki. Couldn't hear what it was over all the commotion, but the girl seemed curious about what was said, so that's all I need to know to keep my distance.
While I waited for my food, another announcement was made offering additional services to customers to make up for the disturbance. Two in a row? Gotta be a record. Rather than talk to the chef, I headed over to chat up Itachi again. "Her again, huh? How long you think it'll take before she gets her own 'not allowed' signage?"
"Heh. Personally, I'm surprised there's not one already." We both had a good laugh at what something like that would look like. "But go easy on her, yeah? She may be odd at times, but she's not a bad person." Leave it to him to see the good in just about anyone.
"If you say so, man. Anyway, what's this I hear about a fan club? You been holding out on me?"
"You kidding? I had to see the look on your face hearing it from one of the girls. Could see it from my post. Gotta say, it was priceless." Yep, that's him. A nice guy, but man, can he be a pain when he wants to.
"Whatever. I'm headed back to my table. I'm starving." He waved me off as I sat back down. This day's starting to feel really weird, and I can only assume it's not done getting weirder.
