Hearing Chang Pu's retort, Red rolled her eyes and said," It's okay. I'll come and pick up Naruto. Moreover, my sister's house is very big. If it's too late, it's okay to stay at my sister's house."”
"No!" Chang Pu immediately became anxious when he heard that Red was going to let Naruto stay at her house tonight. He quickly objected and looked at Red with even more vigilance.
" Ahem, that..." Seeing that his daughter was being bullied by Hong, Shouda couldn't stand it anymore. He glared at Naruto and said," I think we should give Naruto a holiday tonight. He's worked hard enough today."”
The innocent Naruto was hurt, but he didn't agree with the " holidays " mentioned by Shouda. After all, the original agreement was that he would only work at the ramen shop during the holidays of the Ninja School. Although the reward was just to guarantee Naruto's daily food, it should be known that the Ninja School in this world was different from the elementary and high schools in Naruto's previous life. There were no specific weekends and so on. It all depended on the school's arrangements.
As the most populated village in the world, the Ninja School was more important. Therefore, even though Naruto was a first-year student, he did not have much time off. In short, the hand-made game was equivalent to providing food to Naruto for free.
Therefore, when he heard Shouda say that he wanted to give him a night off, Naruto shook his head and refused without thinking.
"Uncle Hand, forget about the holiday.”
When Red heard Naruto's words, she nodded and said," Yes, yes. There's no need to give this kid a holiday. I'll pick him up when the ramen shop closes at night!”
After eating Naruto's food, Red had completely lost her appetite for ordinary food. She asked Naruto to go to her house at night just to make dinner for her.
If she gave him the day off, it meant that Naruto could go to her house now. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still four hours before dinner time. Red did not have a good excuse to keep him at home!
Besides, the excuse of giving a gift was already far-fetched enough. As a special merchant of Woodleaf Village, doing such a thing could already be said to be very embarrassing. If she still could not achieve her goal now, she would cry to death.
Naruto knew what Red was thinking, but he did not expose her. He just rolled his eyes at her helplessly and said," Uncle Hand, Sister Red is right. It's not a big deal. It's just a gift anyway. Sister Red, why don't you help me take the gift out of the Sealing Scroll now?"”
"No!" Upon hearing Naruto's request, Red rejected it without hesitation. However, when she saw Chang Pu and Shou Da looking at her strangely, she realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly explained," The first meeting gift is a surprise. I don't want anyone to see it!"”
As she spoke, Red glared fiercely at Naruto, who had embarrassed her. When she realized that the latter was secretly laughing, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable anger in her heart. Without any explanation, she reached out her right hand and pinched Naruto's ear again...
"Ah!"
Screams reverberated in the sky above Woodleaf Village. Their voices made people tremble in fear.

Although Red's excuse was full of loopholes, it was still a woman's mind. Moreover, Handsome was not that kind of Casanova. Naturally, he did not know what Red was thinking and could not see anything strange.
In the end, after a series of arguments, Hand agreed to Red's suggestion. Chang Pu, who had always been Red's enemy, was sent away by a palm-sized doll that Red had taken out of nowhere.
" Hey, your feelings for me are so cheap. I'm getting rid of you with just a rag doll…" Looking at Chang Pu, who was holding the rag doll as if he had found a treasure, Naruto was full of complaints. However, when he saw the three people in the ramen shop smiling without any faking, Naruto smiled very brightly and thought," This kind of life…seems pretty good."”
Happy times always passed very quickly. Since Naruto had completed his daily mission for the day, he had nothing to do and was chatting with Shouda, Chang Pu, and Hong Dafu in the Yile Ramen Restaurant.
In just one afternoon, the relationship between Red and Naruto had improved by leaps and bounds. Red's favorability towards Naruto quickly broke through the 50 mark. Of course, the main reason was that Red had gained sympathy for Naruto's misfortune.
But no matter what the reason was, Red had already completely treated Naruto as her younger brother. Even the way she looked at Naruto had a rare hint of affection.
When the favorability rating reached 70, it would be a tipping point. The rate at which the favorability rating increased was extremely slow. In one afternoon, Chang Pu's favorability rating for Naruto only stopped at 73 and could no longer increase.
However, because his favorability had reached 70 and above, Chang Pu looked at Naruto with a strange look in his eyes. He knew Chang Pu's personality well, so how could he not understand his daughter's strange behavior?
However, he did not stop them. He just looked at the sky with a complicated expression and thought, Sigh…I don't know if this is good or bad.”
At night, Yile Ramen Restaurant was as lively as usual. The addition of Naruto did not reduce the number of customers as Naruto had expected. On the contrary, his cooking skills, which had been enhanced by the system attributes, won praise from many people. This made Naruto heave a sigh of relief.
The peak period of diners at night was longer. From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., it was a full three hours. Naruto kept making ramen, and his cooking proficiency increased by leaps and bounds. In just one night, his cooking skills had been upgraded to intermediate level, and his proficiency had reached 685, which was more than half of it.
With his intermediate cooking skills, Naruto's ramen had a higher bonus to the delicious attribute, which was also more attractive. Many customers ordered another bowl after eating one. Finally, when the ramen shop closed, they left with a round belly and disappointment. (To be continued)
