OCEAN EYES (Senku x Female!Reader)

CHAPTER 4: Let There Be Light

{Nobody's POV}

With the accomplishment of creating the infamous Ramen, the group decided to actually try it, in which they all sat down on the ground and each of them grabbed a bowl of ramen with a pair of chopsticks. Even so, the three primitive people were skeptical about trying out the noodles.

"But this is actually foxtail millet, isn't it?" Kohaku asked with a sweat drop, as she held the chopsticks.

Chrome also looked unsure, but unlike Kohaku and Suika he decided to just go for it. After all, there was nothing to lose, right?

"I'll make sure it's safe! It's the duty of a sorcerer not to be afraid of anything new!" Chrome exclaimed, as he took a few noodle strands and shoved it into his mouth. As soon as he tasted the noodles, his eyes widened in shock.

"I-IT'S GOOD!" He shouted in the air.

"Dude. Ramen is insane!" Chrome added with tears in his eyes, as he happily slurped the rest of the ramen and even drank the broth.

Feeling less hesitant, Kohaku and Suika also decided to give the ramen a chance, in which they slurped some of the noddle strands as well. Just like what Chrome said, they found it to be delicious, as it was hard for them to stop eating the ramen. Even Chalk and Aslan were excited by watching their reactions.

"It's so chewy and slippery! I've never had anything like it!" Suika commented, as she still ate the ramen.

"I can't believe such a thing would exist in this world!" Kohaku commented as well.

Meanwhile, Y/N and Senku sat at the side and watched the primitive people who just had their first ever taste of ramen noodles, they both chuckled in amusement.

"I guess we'll dig in, too." Y/N said and looked down at her own bowl.

"It's been 3,700 years since I've had a proper meal." Senku stated, before both he and the girl took a bite.

While Y/N seemed to be okay with the meal, she watched as Senku out his bowl to the side after tasting the ramen and bowed down in disappointment.

"It wasn't proper at all. What did I expect from foxtail millet? It's so damn crumbly, and it has a horrible, bitter aftertaste." Senku stated.

"I guess it's edible if you think of it as medicine." Y/N said, before looking at the primitive people.

"Then again, for them, I'm sure it's the food of the gods." She added. Senku chuckled at her words and sat up.

"Yeah, you're right. This'll work. Foxtail millet ramen!" He exclaimed.

As the group managed to build a cart, Senku proceeded to start cooking more ramen.

"How else can we draw attention? I mean, obviously, not everyone will smell the scent of ramen after all." Chrome stated, in which he and most of the group started to think. However, they didn't have to think for long. They noticed as Y/N pulled out her bamboo flute, sat on a boulder, before taking a deep breath and blowing into the flute.

The melody of the flute echoed from the outside till the inside of the village. Each villager from elders to children stopped whatever they were doing, as soon as they heard the tune. All of them stunned and most of them stood still to continue listening.

"What is going on?!" The chief of the village questioned in a demanding tone, as he also heard the melody.

The chief himself was named Kokuyo. He was a large, muscular middle-aged man with blond hair tied into a ponytail. He had gruff, hardened facial features with thick eyebrows, a large nose, and intense brown eyes. His long brown beard and goatee notably did not match his blond hair, and for clothes, he wore a blue robe with a white undercloth with a rope tied around his neck. At the moment, Kokuyo was with his older daughter, Ruri, who he was checking on, due to her being sick.
