"Tsukasa, you're here."
"Good morning, Azami-sensei."
Outside Far Moon, at a high-end restaurant under Azami Nakiri's name, Azami Nakiri had arranged to meet Eishi Tsukasa. The two were now sitting opposite each other, enjoying delicious food while discussing life philosophy.
Well, actually, it was about the plan to infiltrate Far Moon.
"Azami-sensei, why did you ask me to come today? Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Looking at Azami Nakiri, who was leisurely and showed no sign of defeat, Eishi Tsukasa smiled gently and began to converse with him.
"Drink your tea first. The taste will worsen if it gets cold."
Without replying, he elegantly took a sip of black tea. As the warm liquid entered his stomach, Azami Nakiri's face also showed a satisfied expression.
"It's like this, I'm planning..."
Inside the restaurant, Eishi Tsukasa and Azami Nakiri chatted happily, their smiles never fading, completely oblivious to the passage of time.

"Still thinking about your little lover from the Other World? She's been gone for over ten days now."
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who was somewhat distracted in the kitchen, Asaka complained while serving freshly cooked dishes, her gaze towards the young man filled with worry.
"After all, the world she lives in is very dangerous. Although I increased her power, I'm still somewhat worried."
Hoshino Sora said with a wry smile in response to Asaka's complaint. If Kanroji Mitsuri lived in a safe world, he wouldn't be so worried, but unfortunately, her world was very dangerous.
"Boss, two more beers, please."
"Coming right up! Asaka-nee, Rika-nee, time to get moving."
Hearing Rimuru's shout from outside, Hoshino Sora smiled and urged Asaka and Rika. The two sisters also started moving upon hearing the sound, carrying iced beer and side dishes out.
After another busy period, Hoshino Sora finally breathed a sigh of relief when all the customers had left. His reputation value had also increased by five thousand due to this customer reception.
Because he had obtained most of the abilities of everyone present, except for a few higher-level talent abilities that he couldn't acquire with his current cooking level.
Of course, he had learned all the flashy skills like fire control, water control, demon summoning, intermediate magic, and advanced magic. Now, if he were placed in a human kingdom in an Other World, he would at least be a Grand Mage-level figure.
To reach such a level simply by cooking, if those who had studied magic for decades but still hadn't become Grand Mages knew about it, they would definitely complain about the unfairness of the world.
However, reality was this cruel.
Closing the restaurant door, Hoshino Sora felt the diverse elements within his body, holding Asaka's left hand and Rika's right hand. They quickly returned to their home.
After another friendly exchange between siblings, during the exchange, despite the two sisters' best efforts to team up, they were still utterly defeated by Hoshino Sora, finally surrendering with a piece of white lace fabric.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora sat on the bed triumphantly, embracing the two, exchanging sweet nothings with them, and also discussing what had happened at Asaka and Rika's school recently.
"So many people like Asaka-nee and Rika-nee, huh? But it makes sense, Asaka-nee and Rika-nee are so beautiful, and they're also the student council president and disciplinary committee member. It's only natural for those boys to be infatuated with you.
It's a pity they don't know that Asaka-nee and Rika-nee, whom they regard as goddesses, are in such a disheveled state now. If they saw you, they probably wouldn't like you anymore, right?"
"Sora is bullying us!"
"Bad Sora, hit you, hit you!"
Upon hearing that many people at school were pursuing the two sisters, Hoshino Sora felt a bit jealous, then got a rush of blood to his head and said something teasing, making the two sisters' cheeks flush red.
Their small fists rained down on Hoshino Sora's chest, their eyes filled with shyness and reproach.
"Hahahaha, wait, I need to take a call."
Hoshino Sora just laughed heartily in response, then embraced the two sisters. Soon, the atmosphere in the room became cheerful again, until a phone call came, and Hoshino Sora stopped his mischievous hands.
"Hello, what do you need me for?"
"Hoshino-kun, come over now, immediately."
Erina Nakiri's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Hoshino Sora frown. He picked up the clothes from the floor and put them on.
"Got it, I'll be right over. Did something happen?"
While getting dressed, Hoshino Sora asked the person on the phone, curious about what could make Erina Nakiri so uncomposed.
"Something happened. Tsukasa-senpai is challenging us to a League Food Halberd, betting all of our tenth seat, for a four-on-four match. You need to come over now to discuss the details of the League Food Halberd."
As expected, they're still causing trouble.
"I know, I'll be right over. Don't worry too much. If they want to fight, then we'll accept the challenge!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Hoshino Sora's eyes. He was never a timid person. Since the other party had challenged them repeatedly, he would make them lose completely!
However, he wondered who Eishi Tsukasa had invited to help?
Kobayashi-senpai was most likely still on his side, as their relationship was very good, like close friends. If he went astray, she would definitely stand by him and look for opportunities to pull him out of the mud.
As for the other two, Hoshino Sora didn't have much of a clue at the moment, but never mind. With their top-tier mutated ingredients, they were already in an unbeatable position.
Don't blame them for cheating or being unfair by using mutated ingredients, after all, these mutated ingredients were researched by him personally and were an important part of his strength.
Hoshino Sora wouldn't do something as foolish as growing top-tier ingredients but not using them, insisting on standing on the same starting line as the opponent. Moreover, this match might concern Erina's fate.
If Eishi Tsukasa obtained the remaining tenth seat, then Azami Nakiri would definitely return to Far Moon. At that time, having learned from his previous failure, he certainly wouldn't be easily repelled like last time.
This time, he was like a fully armed force, prepared in every detail. A moment of carelessness could lead to being devoured by him, so they had to handle it with extreme caution.
Of course, if the opponent's initial plan didn't succeed, then everything else in the future would be insignificant.
"Mom, did our upstairs just shake?"
"Huh? Did it? Let's go outside and see... It looks fine."
"I don't know, maybe it was an illusion..."
"Maybe. Hurry and wash your hands for dinner. How was your performance at school today?"
In a certain residence, a small and cute girl ran into the kitchen and anxiously asked her mother, who was cooking. Hearing the question, the mother immediately put down her pot, grabbed a flashlight, and looked outside for a long time but found nothing unusual.
Finally, she gave up, squatted down, and spoke to the child with a smile.
Little did they know, all of this was Hoshino Sora rushing, running across the roofs of various family homes. After all, straight-line travel was always the fastest.
And Hoshino Sora's speed at this moment was clearly faster than a regular car. In less than ten minutes, he arrived at the Elite Ten Council Hall and sat down beside Erina Nakiri.
"You were nearby?"
"More or less."
Looking at Hoshino Sora, who had arrived quickly, Erina Nakiri was a bit surprised. It hadn't even been ten minutes since the call ended, and he was already there.
"You should look at this first. These are the documents related to the League Food Halberd. They have already formally sent an application to the Food Fight Management Bureau, betting all the tenth seat of the participating parties."
"Who are the opponents?"
Flipping through the relevant documents, Hoshino Sora looked at Hisako and asked curiously.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the opponents are Tsukasa-senpai, Kobayashi-senpai, Saito-senpai, and Eizan-senpai.
Saito-senpai and Eizan-senpai obtained the ninth and tenth seats in last week's Elite Ten competition. This is also the reason why Tsukasa-senpai challenged us to a League Food Halberd."
