And then...
"This year's BLUE seems different from previous ones."
"I hope they can represent Far Moon well. I heard that China will also send powerful chefs."
"Huh? Don't they dislike these kinds of activities?"
"I don't know. I heard that the WGO offered a cooking utensil as a prize, which caused quite a stir in the Chinese culinary world."
"Cooking utensil... huh."
"No wonder. It seems this will definitely be a fierce battle. I wonder how far these youngsters can go."
"Believe in them. This year, we have God Tongue and Hoshino Sora!"
Looking at the spirited young people on stage, the former graduates sitting on the judging panel exchanged smiles. The young generation of geniuses had finally awakened and truly stepped onto this world-class stage!
"Let's go home."
The competition venue was filled with laughter and joy. Hoshino Sora led his wives towards Yōbi Dormitory.
After all, they were about to depart for BLUE. Before that, he planned to satisfy his wives well, feeding them all until they were full, but his cooking training couldn't be neglected either.
Today, to celebrate obtaining the right to participate in BLUE, the restaurant would be closed for one day, and then it would return to normal.
----------
Several days later.
In Gourmet Manor, the catgirls and Forest Elf were working in the fields, sweating in their light clothing.
Since it was summer vacation, everyone was quite relaxed. To improve their cooking skills, all the girls went to help at Dimensional Restaurant, and Erina Nakiri was no exception.
She first finished a summer's worth of documents early, then brought Hisako Arato to find Hoshino Sora.
Tadokoro Megumi didn't go home because she was participating in BLUE, and everyone else stayed for various reasons, planning to use the summer vacation to improve their cooking skills at this restaurant.
Yui Yuigahama, Aka Rika, Kitagawa Marin, wanting to meet guests from the Other World and Hoshino Sora, also chose to help out at Dimensional Restaurant.
Among them, Yui Yuigahama, having entered high school and having some spare money, rented an apartment outside, living next to Kitagawa, which gave her relative freedom.
She only had to go home once a week to report her safety, but her family didn't inquire much about her affairs.
"Welcome! It's been a while since I've seen you two."
Looking at Butterfly Ninja and Kanroji Mitsuri appearing at the restaurant entrance, Asaka's expression was a little surprised. She hadn't seen the two of them for more than three months.
"Asaka-nee."
Seeing Asaka, Butterfly Ninja and Kanroji Mitsuri exchanged glances, then called out in unison.
Although there wasn't much respect in their words, they spoke sincerely. After Hoshino Sora explained his harem system to Butterfly Ninja, she clearly knew that Asaka was his adopted sister.
As for Kanroji Mitsuri, she already knew Asaka's identity, so she behaved very politely.
"You two can sit over there. It's been a while, and you've both become much prettier."
Facing their overtures, Asaka naturally accepted with a bright smile, then led the two into a small private room. She knew they liked quiet.
Compared to the noisy outside, the private room's soundproofing was undoubtedly better, suitable for guests who preferred a quiet environment, and also a good place for discussing matters.
"This is the menu. Besides the dishes on the menu, you can also write down anything else you'd like to eat. If the restaurant has the ingredients, we can make it for you. Call me when you've decided."
Placing the menu on the table, Asaka's voice was gentle, then she went out to greet new guests.
Although Dimensional Restaurant was inconsistent with its opening hours, whenever it was open, diners would flock in. Some distinguished guests from the Other World even ordered their subordinates to live nearby.
As soon as Dimensional Restaurant opened, they would immediately send a message to report.
Rimuru did just that. Indeed, at this moment, he brought the Dwarf King to eat.
It was the Dwarf King's first time at Dimensional Restaurant, and his accompanying subordinates were also stunned to see this prosperous Dimensional Restaurant, their expressions surprised.
This place definitely surpassed all the restaurants in the Dwarf Kingdom!
The rich aroma of food, humans and monsters coexisting peacefully, sword-wielding heroes, strangely dressed travelers, samurai with katanas at their waists – they even felt extremely dangerous auras from a few guests.
"Rimuru, where is this place? Why does it look so much bigger inside than outside?"
Looking at the accustomed Rimuru, the Dwarf King asked curiously.
"This is a restaurant opened by a good friend of mine. It has branches all over the world, and there's more than one entrance, so the inside and outside might look a bit different."
Hearing the Dwarf King's question, Rimuru bounced around explaining. At this time, he was in his original form. He had asked Hoshino Sora about these things before, and that was the explanation the other party gave him.
