The Blind Bandit (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 23: Gourmet National Treasure, Setsuno

"Let's go have some sushi next, you guys!" The giant hunter shouted, causing the two to jump slightly. Long day was a bit of an understatement. Laughing slightly, Sarafina followed the two. She couldn't help but enjoy everything. Like before, these two around her she'll never be bored! Perhaps city life wasn't all that bad. The next place was styled as a Japanese sushi place and the blind woman immediately felt sorry for the workers. They didn't know what they were in for... Feeling kinda full still from the ramen, she only got a small plate of veggie sushi and a bit of fruit sushi, she had heard of it before and always wanted to try it and sat back and watched the giant hunter once again created a huge pile of dishes.

"Keep molding it!" Toriko said between bites of sushi. "The order doesn't matter so just mold your whole menu!"

"Toriko-San, actually taste it more.." Komatsu tried to tell him to no avail, "This place is really good. We have to come back here again." Sarafina said as Kururu nodded in agreement and she, sneakily, took a piece of sushi from Komatsu's plate. Once done she couldn't help but pale a bit when the cashier stammered out a 12,640,000 yen bill to the giant hunter. He once again gave the cashier his card, making Komatsu think about much money Toriko has!

-a little later at the smoke lounge-

Actually, she takes it back. City's are a pit stain. Sarafina crinkled her nose a bit at the over whelming stench of smoke. Gross.... She did try and talk her way out of coming in here but the boys wouldn't hear it. So here she was...stuck in such a place as Toriko casually smoked his cigar listening to him grumble a bit. "Fuu... Lately there's been a lot of no smoking shops." 

"That is the recent tendency.." Komatsu comment watching on. "I'm...sure that it's not that much of an issue. It probably means you should refrain from smoking time to time. I mean, you understand what you're doing to your lungs, don't you?" Sarafina asked him.

"Only if you get the unhealthy smokes. The one I'm using is all natural so there's no buildup of unpleasant stuff inside." The hunter said to her even as he took a puff. "Hmm. Is that right?" She said. "Anyway, Toriko-san, you've been paying with a card, haven't you?" Komatsu asked, drinking from his cup as he looked nervously at Toriko. "I don't carry cash." Was his reply before reaching into his pocket and took out a black credit card.

"That's the credit limit-less black card isn't it?!" Komatsu shouted in an excitement. "I lose it a lot, though." Toriko explained putting it back where it belonged. "What on earth do you do about these meals when you lose it?!" Komatsu continued to shout. "N... Then I put it on tab, of course." Toriko said, so matter-of-fact. "There are shops that let you make tabs for tens of millions of yen?!" 

"Yea, there are." Giggling a bit, Sarafina turned and looked out the window to see a bunch of men walking around. 'Must be Gourmet Hunters judging from how their auras are bright and well developed in harsh environments.' She thought to herself. Not knowing that a similar thought ran through Toriko's mind. Hmm, looks like Zongeh somehow managed to get inside. "Sarafina-san?" Komatsu asked. "Hm, yes?" She said turning back to him.

"You're a pretty famous Gourmet Hunter, so do you have that type of card?" Komatsu asked her. Sarafina shook her head. There was a time she was offered the black card, but she politely declined it. "I was offered one, but I personally don't like carrying such things. With the payments I've received over the years, I only keep a good handful for myself while I send the rest to the IGO in a holding placement."

"Oh. Oh, right! Hey Toriko-San, why'd we go to gourmet town all of a sudden?" The little chef asked, turning to look up at the larger man. It's an understandable question but knowing this bunch it's bound to lead to an adventure. "N...yea. We're meeting a certain person." Toriko explained. Komatsu blinked a bit before he asked, "Certain person?" In response the hunter said, much to her annoyance, "Before we go, Koamtsu and Sarafina, you should change into better clothes."
