Is this even edible? (2)

Spoiler:

Another day for Kizmaru to sit in his office slaving away at the work piling up. At least he was slowly getting used to his routine, even finding ways to cheat the schedule from time to time in order to go out and enjoy himself more often than usual. Well, once again, he was ahead of schedule with the amount of paperwork he would have to do for the day. One day, he'll assign an advisor that can help mitigate all the work that has to be done in the village regarding documents. Well, it was almost that time again where would be able to leave the office early. He was really excited today since there was another chance at entering a certain competition he had partook in previously. It was a puffer fish eating contest that he came in second place since he wasn't very hungry at the moment. Not only that, it was quite a deliciously dish and probably his new favorite seafood that he's recently discovered. He was sure he'd get sick of it after a few more competitions but for now, he would enjoy it to its fullest. Looking at the clock, it was almost time for him to get ready to head to the bar and grill.

Wearing his Mizukage robe and hat with a veil hiding his face, he finally was able to change of of this attire and into his Jounin attire when he realized it was time for him to clock out for the day. He's been getting good at his work recently since the requests were mostly the same here and there. Standing up from his chair, placing his pen down, he placed the unfinished documents in one pile and the completed ones in another before sorting them into drawers from his desk. Walkign towards the common room, Kizmaru decided to briefly change from his Mizukage Robes into his Jounin attire of a yellow buttoned down shirt, navy blue pants along side his ninja tabi for comfort and mobility. This time, he decided to wear his tie since he was feeling good about today before he made an exit form his office, down the corridor and into the stairwell, leading down to the lobby. There in the lobby, Kizmaru nodded to the receptionist to which they nodded back in kind. No matter how many times he does that, it never gets old, as if they were sharing a secret cause well, they were.

Making his way out of the building, he quickly hurried towards the his favorite bar and grill where he knew the sign ups for the competition for the puffer fish eating contest would be. Arriving at the bar and grill, he entered, looking around the room in hopes of finding the sign up table once again to register his name. It didn't take long to find it as there was another line of contestants waiting to put their names down on the sheet as well. Waiting in line for a few minutes, Kizmaru eventually got to the sign up sheet, writing his name down with the pen that was given to him and then heading to the stage where the competition will take place. Sitting down in his designated seat, Kizmaru look from left to right and then right to left to see who else was competing. He recognized a few of them form last time that dropped out early an of course, the reigning champion that he failed to overcome last time. This time however, he was in it to win it. He felt confident today, especially since he had starved himself for a day in preparation for this moment. 

It was an unhealthy decision he's made but, he stuck by it in hopes he would be able to do a lot better this time around when it comes to the contest. Shortly after being seated, few waiters and waitresses came out with steaming plates of puffer fish for the contestants to begin eating when the count down was down. Looking at the food in front of him, Kizmaru was using every fiber in his being to resist just eating but he had to wait. Then, the count down had stared, listening to the crowd chant, 'Three, Two, One, GO!' No sooner than he heard the word go, Kizmaru had began to tear into the food set in front of him. At first it wasn't about the competition, he was just famished from his day of fasting but as he ate, he slowly remembered that he was in a competition to win something that he needs in order to augment his future gear. He needed to use them as a reference to mimic its properties to better defend himself against poisons and breathe underwater. For now, he'll worry about trying to win the competition Like the last time, contestants were dropping out left and right before it was just Kizmaru and the champion once again. 

For what seemed like hours, both the champion and Kizmaru had continued eating until eventually, Kizmaru couldn't eat another bite. Maybe this competition wasn't for him. Alas, once again he came in second place while the champion defended his title yet again. Of course, he received the second place prize of the puffer fish gills and some ryo but not nearly as much as the first place winner. Well, he got what he came for and it was time for him to get going. He can't believe he was about to say this but maybe he should stay away from puffer fish for the time being and switch to eating salmon for awhile or something. All that puffer fish is starting to make him sick. He was hopign somebody didn't screw up and leave the poisonous part of the fish inside one of th servings he was eating or he would be in for a bad time. Well either way, he was going to put off on eating that stuff for a long time. Exiting the bar with his prize at hand, he began to head to his abode to where his wife was waiting for him.
