"Well, another reason is... the time when these worlds were connected is not much different, so when the plot unfolds in the future, there is a high possibility of a crash.
When major events occur in multiple worlds at the same time and fall into chaos, Dimension City will lose several partners at once. In this case, it will inevitably have a certain impact on Dimension City. At the same time, even if you want to make a disaster fortune in Dimension City, it will be more difficult to operate.
Because this requires multi-line operations, even if so many manpower and troops are sent out, it will cause a great burden on the central management agency responsible for command. If something unexpected happens accidentally and the headquarters cannot handle it, it may affect the whole body, leading to a complete collapse and the bankruptcy of all plans.
In history, there were too many examples of such multi-line operations, which ranged from poor performance to total loss. Takumi did not want to take such a risk. In short, isn't it better to engage in win-win cooperation and make money slowly over time than to take risks and make a quick profit?! The mentality of a gambler is unacceptable! (Hold on! Don't wander!)
Just when Takumi was thinking about how to gain greater benefits from the Gourmet World for Dimension City, Komatsu and the others were having a heated exchange.
"I'm back!"
A white-haired creature suddenly broke into the kitchen and announced excitedly. It was Alice Nakiri. Behind her were Asuna Yuuki and a group of figures that looked familiar to Takumi.
"Ah, Alice-chan and Asuna-chan, you are back. It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."
Hinako Inui rushed up immediately and greeted them warmly.
"Well, we successfully recruited a lot of good prospects this time."
Alice Nakiri nodded and was about to introduce the new people behind her when she suddenly discovered that there was a stranger wearing a chef's uniform. She couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Who is she?"
"Oh, you came back just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Komatsu, a new guest. He comes from a magical world of food and is also a chef."
"He is our guest, Komatsu."
Fuyumi Mizuhara came over with Komatsu and introduced them to each other.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Alice Nakiri became even more excited when she heard this. She also didn't expect that she would come back at such a time and happen to meet a visitor from another food world. At the same time, she also burst out with a lot of enthusiasm for Komatsu. Of course, she was not as overbearing as Hinako Inui. She just turned into a curious baby and kept getting closer.
After going through the negative example of Hinako Inui, Komatsu was not uncomfortable with the more disciplined Alice Nakiri, and responded to everything with a smile. But Alice Nakiri was obsessed with chatting with Komatsu, which embarrassed the group of newcomers behind Asuna Yuuki. They basically didn't know anyone here except Alice Nakiri and Fuyumi Mizuhara.
Even Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato knew a lot about the inside story, but the others were still somewhat confused about the situation. Under such circumstances, Alice Nakiri ignoring them made them feel awkward.
"Okay Alice, you can chat with Komatsu at any time, you still have business to deal with."
Takumi saw this and quickly stopped Alice Nakiri.
"Ah? It turns out that you, Lord City Lord, are here too."
Only then did Alice Nakiri notice Takumi. To cover up her embarrassment, she stuck out her tongue playfully.
Aren't you talking nonsense? When have you ever received a new visitor that I didn't welcome? Takumi gave Alice Nakiri a look, letting her interpret it herself. Alice Nakiri immediately didn't dare to play around anymore and quickly said to Komatsu: "Excuse me, I will go and deal with work first."
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work, I still have a lot of time."
Komatsu didn't mind this because he was not in a hurry. Before he came here, he was just visiting the food market to see if he could find any rare ingredients. But after he came to Dimension City, that was no longer important; other worlds had a greater attraction for him.
Seeing this, Alice Nakiri came to the newcomers and began to introduce the situation to them.
"First of all, this is the master of Dimension City, Lord Takumi."
"Hello, Lord City Lord." XN
"Well, hello."
Then, Alice Nakiri asked them to come forward one by one to introduce themselves to Takumi.
"I am Erina Nakiri, Alice's cousin. Please take good care of me in the future."
Erina Nakiri was the first to stand up. Takumi couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect her to come too. He hadn't seen Senzaemon push her over before. Did she change her mind now?
Takumi looked confusedly at Alice Nakiri. Seeing this, Alice Nakiri explained: "It was Erina's own decision to join Dimension City, and her family didn't know about it."
"That's it, okay."
What else could Takumi say? Do you want to refuse Erina Nakiri joining? Just kidding! How is that possible! He has no reason to refuse at all. Should he still worry about the opinions of the Nakiri family? Impossible! How great is the Nakiri family that Takumi also needs to give them face? And Erina Nakiri herself is willing. What does a consensual matter have to do with the Nakiri family?
After Erina Nakiri, there was Hisako Arato. This was nothing surprising; after all, Erina was here, so it would be strange if she didn't follow. Then, there were graduates from Totsuki: Taki Tsunozaki, and Sonoka Kikuchi—a small figure with dark purple hair in a single ponytail and fierce eyes.
And a character that surprised Takumi, Jun Shiomi! That is, the youngest professor (34) in Totsuki's history, Akira Hayama's adoptive mother, and a legal loli with glasses. And there were several female graduates whom Takumi didn't know and who did not appear in the original work.
Then there were the current students: Momo Akanegakubo, Rindou Kobayashi, and Nene Kinokuni. These three are all current Elite Ten members; including Erina Nakiri, four of the Elite Ten came to Dimension City. This made Takumi feel that this wave was probably going to hollow out Totsuki.
When he saw the people behind him, Takumi was even more convinced of this idea. Megumi Tadokoro, Ryoko Sakaki, Yuki Yoshino, Ikumi Mito, Miyoko Hojo, and Nao Sadatsuka. Well, they are all the most outstanding among the freshmen.
"In addition to them, there are some boys outside the inner city, this is the list."
Takumi took a look at the list handed over by Alice Nakiri. He found that except for a few people with poor character, such as Etsuya Eizan, and a few weirdos, such as Satoshi Isshiki, basically everyone in the original work with names and surnames—Soma Yukihira, Ryo Kurokiba, Akira Hayama, the Aldini brothers, Shun Ibusaki, Zenji Marui, and other good young talents of the new generation—were among them.
This made Takumi suspicious. Is Alice Nakiri really just rushing to empty out her family's school? This group of people can be said to be the best group of talents in Totsuki. They all came to Dimension City, and Totsuki will suddenly have a serious talent gap. The remaining two or three kittens simply cannot hold up a large institution.
