Konoha…After they were done rescuing Hinata or Hinata was done beating up the 3 bullies they return in the park.
"Are you ok, princess? " Kirito asked with a smile looking at Hinta.
"Yes, thanks for coming to my rescue Kirito-Kun. I knew if I called you from my heart you would have come. " Hinata said while hugging Kirito and said with a confident smile.
"Yeah alright, I guess. " Kirito said while scratching the back of his head while not knowing what to say because from his perspective it was clear that the kids who were bullying Hinata needed help, not the other way around.
"So what should we do now? " Naruto asked with a neutral tone because all the fun and excitement is gone from the earlier event.
"I don"t want to use the swing anymore you can use it all you want. " Neji said with no care for it anymore.
"Me neither I also don"t feel like that anymore. " Naruto also replied with a dejected tone.
"I kind of feeling hungry. " Kirito said while holding his stomach and continued "Why don"t we go eat some Ramen??? "
"Yes let"s eat some Ramen. " Naruto said with excitement.
"Yeah, I also want to eat some Remen. " Hinata said with a low shy tone.
"But we didn"t bring any money with us. " Neji said while shaking his head.
"Don"t worry I will pay for you. " Kirito replied with a smile.
"Them I will have to thank you. " Neji said with a bow.
"It"s alright after all we are friends. Aren"t we? " Kirito asked with a serious tone.
" " "Yes" " "
After that, all 4 of the kids started walking towards the gate of the park while talking with each other and from time to time they asked Kirito about the world outside but not what he was doing because that didn"t interest them or they didn"t understand about that yet.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After leaving the park on their way they saw Shikamaru and Choji coming towards the park.
"Shikamaru, Choji over here. " Naruto said while waving his hands towards them with a happy smile.
"Naruto!?? " Shikamaru said with surprise and Choji just continued eating his chips.
"Kirito when did you come back. " As Shikamaru came beside them he asked with a smile looking at Kirito because they hadn"t met in a long time and the last time he heard Kirito had to leave immediately after arriving in the village.
"I just arrived a few minutes ago but I thought I wouldn"t be able to meet you guys as well this time because I need to go tomorrow first thing in the morning but I am happy I am able to see you. " Kirito said with a smile.
"What you will go already? " Naruto and Hinata asked at the same time becoming a little sad.
"Don"t worry I will be back soon. " Kirito said with a sigh because he also wanted to play with his friends but he knows he doesn"t have time because the world isn"t as peaceful as it looks from inside the village and he is also happy that his village isn"t like""Kirigakure ``.
"I thought you wouldn"t come out in this cold to play. " Naruto said with a curious tone looking at Shikamaru and Choji.
"I know what you mean Naruto but you know my mom, she said go play outside to warm myself with a little running after which she kicked me out of the house. Now you tell me how I will warm myself in this cold. " Shikamaru complained about his mother with a wary smile.
"And when I was enjoying my sleep Shikamaru called for me and I didn"t have any other choice but to join him because he dragged me here but I really want to go back. " Choji sad with an ugly face when he turned towards Shikamaru and added "Ehh Shikamaru I will go back home, for now, you can play with them. "
"If you want to go back you can go but we will eat Remen by ourselves. " Kirito who meet his friends after such a long time didn"t want to part away so quickly so stopped Choji from going.
"Are you going to the Ramen shop? " Choji asked with a serious tone as everyone gave a nod "Then I will also join you guys. "
Hearing this everyone started laughing and after stopping Kirito asked looking at them "Ino didn"t come with you guys? "
"We went to call her but she said she will go to her friend"s house but if you are back she might have joined us as she wanted to ask you something. " Shikamaru replied while they continued walking toward the Ramen shop.
"Yes, she doesn"t come playing that much lately. " Hinata said with a sad tone because she is the only girl in the group.
"She might be worried that I forget about my promise to her about Itachi senpai"s little brother *Sigh* well I will help her once I have time. " Kirito thought as he gave a nod at everyone.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Finally, the Kids gang arrived in front of the Ichiraku and one by one entered the shop…
"Welcome!!! " Teuchi said with a happy smile as they entered the shop.
As they ordered them Ramen Teuchi started preparing as quickly as he can.
While eating Kirito asked, "Uncle where is big sister Ayame I didn"t saw her??? "
"Oh! She went to delivering Ramen throw out the village. " Teuchi said with a smile.
"When did you start a food delivery uncle? Swish~ " Kirito said while eating the soup in the Ramen.
"You were out of the village so you don"t know but we stated in the last month because Ayame didn"t have much to do in the shop. " Teuchi replied with his usual smile.
"Oh, I see. " Kirito again started eating his Ramen.
After he was done eating Kirito paid for everyone"s food and took out a sealing scroll then from the sealing scroll he took out a beautiful girls Sweater and handed it to Teuchi and said "When big sister return, please give her this for me as I don"t think I would be able to meet her. "
Receiving it with a nod Teuchi said with a smile, "Then I will have to thank you on her behalf. "
"It"s ok uncle see you later. " With a nod, Kirito and co went out of the shop.
Just after the kids left the shop Ayame entered the shop "I am back. "
"Oh, you came back already. Well too bad if you came back a little earlier the ks would have been able to give it to you himself. " Teuchi said with a sigh while shaking his head.
"Who dad!!? " Ayame said with confusion while tilting his head.

After eating the kids started going back toward the park but Hinata was giving Kirito a weird look from time to time as if she wanted to ask him something.
"Do you want tell me something Princess? " Kirito asked with confusion because he clearly felt she wanted to ask him something.
"Yes, where is my gift Kirito-kun? " Hinata asked with a rear serious tone.
