(I ran out of official art renders, so have this official art of Joon-gi asking for more food instead :D )
Previously: After beating up his bike while his new “friend” watches him suffer, Ryuji continues being one-half of the most conspicuous pair of buff Korean tourists roaming Japan in 1999 by going to Onomichi, Hiroshima. Just as he gets Joon-gi to lighten up and enjoy the food trip with him, Go-Ryu Clan Captain Takayama shows up and pays the Yomei Alliance to let him fight nepotism on their territory. Joon-gi gets shot protecting Ryuji, but thanks to Ryuji sweet-talking Daddy Iwami, he does not end up getting Secret of Onomichi’d. Unfortunately for them, the Tojo Clan decides it’s time to get involved.
Important Read before Proceeding: when Chapter 4 first came out last year, it was during other not-so-good changes in RGGO (disabled sprite animations, shorter events, stuff that had older players claim the game was going down the drain, etc). Perhaps there was a change in management, or cost-cutting measures, or whatever COVID-related reasons. So if things here on out feel abrupt/rushed to you storywise, that’s sadly why :< but at least we had a Side Story to give us a taste of what happened in the few weeks between the previous chapter and this :D
Finally, Chapter 4! Alt title: “In which Ryuji asks Han Joon-gi to be his business partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, ‘til death do they part.” Spoilers for Y0 and possibly Y7 (RGGO and/or Y:LAD)!

|Ryuji and Han. A few weeks after escaping from the attack of the Go-Ryu Clan and Takayama—|
|Fukuoka - Nagasugai.|

Han: “Phew . . . Chief, another serving please.”
Ryuji: “Hey, me too.”
Food Stall Chief: “Okay.”
Ryuji: “Phew~. Washing down motsunabe with tonkotsu ramen is heavy on the stomach.”
Han: “Is that why you’re on your third bowl?”
Ryuji: “You’re on your second bowl too, though. You eat well for someone who got shot.”
Tumblr media
Han: “I need nutrition to recover.”
Han: “. . . So what do we do? I don’t think Takayama will give up. He should have regrouped by now and pursued us. How about we don’t stay in one place for too long?”
Ryuji: “No matter how many of those guys come or how long it takes, I’ll fight back and defeat them.”
Han: “Pretending to be tough won’t work on the opponent. As expected from a direct subsidiary family of the Omi Alliance.”
Ryuji: “Sorry I can’t praise the enemy.”
Han: “It’s just an objective evaluation. Ryuji-san should also understand the strength of the opponent.”
Ryuji: “. . . I guess.  . . . Haa~. What should we do? Running around until the opponent loses interest hurts.”
Han: “. . . . . . Would you like to go to South Korea? Ryuji-san.”
Ryuji: “. . .”
Han: “I expect they will not follow you overseas. If you become a member of the Jingweon Mafia, you should have asylum under the organization.”
Ryuji: “. . . That’s right. South Korea may be interesting, too. What do you think, Han. Would ya like to leave the Jingweon Mafia and start a business with me in South Korea?”
Tumblr media
Han: “!”
Ryuji: “Then we’ll conquer the world together. Will ya think about it?”
Han: “. . .”
Tumblr media
Food Stall Chief: “Yes, thank you for waiting for your additional servings.”
Tumblr media
Han: “. . . Heh. How stupid. Now, let’s eat quickly.”
Ryuji: “. . .”

Tumblr media
Han: “Are you planning to sleep around this area today?”
Ryuji: “Yup. Right where there’s no people.”
?: “Sorry, but could you wait a bit before you take a rest?”
Ryuji: “Ah?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kasuga: “Kasuga from the Tojo Clan Arakawa Family. Are you Goda Ryuji and Han Joon-gi?”
Han: “! Tojo Clan . . . ?!”
?: “What kind of person bothers to introduce himself to the enemy he’s going to kill? Idiot.”
Kasuga: “. . . Sorry.”

Man in Sunglasses: “Let’s get this over with, Kasuga.”
Kasuga: “Yes . . . Kuze-no-aniki.”

NOTES:
1) Nagasugai, Fukuoka = based on the Nakasu red-light district in Hakata Ward, between the Naka River and the Hakata River. It is located in Fukuoka Prefecture on the Kyushu Island. It has 18 bridges and a lot of food stalls and back alleyways. Look how far west they’ve gotten since Sapporo!
Tumblr media
2) Motsunabe = Fukuoka specialty hotpot made of motsu or organ meat (usually of beef since they are soft and spongy), garlic chives, cabbage, and tofu cooked in soy sauce or miso broth. It is customary to cook rice or noodles in the remaining broth to end the night of food trips.
Tumblr media
3) Tonkotsu ramen = first came into being in Fukuoka, this ramen uses thinner and straighter noodles compared to other ramen types. Another unique factor is that food stalls offer noodle refills and you can indicate your noodle hardness preference, exactly like in that Y5 minigame :D Ramen in Hakata are commonly milky white from the boiled pig bones making up the soup.
