Lacus raised her head and glanced at Takumi's extremely handsome face, then blushed and quickly lowered her head.
Although she didn't understand how Takumi knew that she debuted as a singer in the PLANT colonies.
But regarding the title of "National Songstress," Lacus felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
She only started debuting recently, and although she did become an instant hit and became very popular, she is still far from being a national singer.
So... why would he say that? Does he think I have that potential? It turns out... am I so outstanding in his eyes...
Lacus was thinking wildly and couldn't help but look up at Takumi from time to time.
"..." No?! Are you coming too?!
Takumi naturally saw Lacus's obvious actions.
Then he was a little speechless for a moment; why are these underage girls so fond of overthinking things today?!
Misaka Mikoto was like this just now, and Lacus is like this now.
It seems that sometimes being too charming is not a good thing.
Takumi suddenly felt that his handsome face, which made readers feel very connected, was also a big burden.
In this situation, Takumi didn't dare to stay any longer.
After all, there is no third wheel like Shirai Kuroko here who will suddenly jump out and interrupt the spell.
It is very easy for problems to arise when such a person is alone with him.
Although Takumi will definitely not suffer a loss, Lacus is still young after all. If something happens, this book may be harmed.
So after Takumi finished drinking the cup of black tea in his hand, he stood up and said to Lacus:
"Sorry, I have to give dimensional terminals to other people next, so I'll take my leave now."
"Ah? You have to leave..."
When Lacus heard this, she instantly broke away from her fantasy and looked at Takumi with a look of reluctance.
I don't know what she was thinking about just now, but it's obvious that she is not completely free from the fantasy now, and her emotions are affected.
"Well, thank you for your hospitality, but I really don't have time this time. Maybe next time. I'll come back next time when I have time."
"Okay then, it's settled, you have to come again. Pinky promise?"
"Well..." Takumi was slightly startled. He didn't expect Lacus to come up with such a childish thing.
"All right." After reacting, she stretched out her little finger and made a pinky promise with Lacus.
It was also at this time that Lacus fully woke up.
Knowing what she had done, she quickly retracted her hand shyly, lowering her head and not daring to look at Takumi.
Takumi scratched his head in embarrassment. He had a headache. What should he do?
But after thinking about it, he simply didn't bother to worry about it so much. It was better to slip away first.
"Then I'm leaving, bye."
"Bye-bye."
Lacus waved her hand reluctantly and watched Takumi enter the Dimensional Gate. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed for a moment.
...
"Phew~! That was so dangerous, but fortunately, I escaped quickly."
After Takumi returned to Dimension City, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He naturally saw the look in Lacus's eyes as she watched him leave for the last time.
To be honest, this made Takumi very stressed.
If he had waited a few years later, when Misaka Mikoto and Lacus grew up, Takumi would welcome them.
But now... it will only make Takumi feel a lot of pressure.
"But what's going on today? When I met them before, I didn't see them like this?"
Takumi couldn't help but be a little confused.
Logically speaking, if these two girls were to be smitten by his charm, they would have been smitten as early as when they first came to Dimension City.
But at that time I haven't seen them react like this? Why did it suddenly become like this today?
"Could it be that the fusion of Gourmet Cells has made my body even more perfect?"
After thinking about it, Takumi was able to place the blame for his recent changes on this.
In addition, Takumi couldn't think of any difference between himself and before.
"Forget it, you'll know after trying it again and moving on to the next one."
Takumi, who couldn't figure it out, simply shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He turned around and opened the Dimensional Gate to another world and walked in.
...
Toriko World.
Gourmet Town, the main store of Setsuno's Restaurant.
Jiro brought back what he got from Ichiryu and told Setsuno and Komatsu.
The three of them were discussing how to let Komatsu contact Dimension City in the future.
Just as he was talking, a vortex of rainbow light suddenly appeared next to Komatsu.
Jiro and Setsuno immediately became alert, staring closely at the Dimensional Gate, ready to take action as soon as the situation went slightly wrong.
Komatsu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't yet reacted.
Takumi walked out of the Dimensional Gate and was shocked when he saw the posture of the two elders. He almost thought he was going to be killed when he opened the door, and his whole body froze slightly.
The features of these two people were so distinct that Takumi recognized them at a glance.
Granny Setsuno and the Knocking Master Jiro.
The top people in the world of Toriko are not people to be trifled with.
But seeing that the two elders had no intention of attacking him, he was relieved.
Then he said as kindly as possible: "Hello, I am Takumi, the Lord of Dimension City. I am here unexpectedly. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Oh? It turns out to be City Lord Takumi. Hello, hello."
Jiro was surprised when he heard this, and then he took a sip of wine like an ordinary little old man, and said with a cheerful smile: "I am Jiro, and I am a Gourmet Hunter."
Setsuno here also smiled and said: "I am Setsuno, Komatsu's mentor. You can do the same as Komatsu-chan and just call me Granny Setsuno, Takumi-chan."
Chan...
Hearing Granny Setsuno's words, Takumi couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Although he knew that this woman always liked to add a suffix to her name when addressing others, and he was mentally prepared before coming.
But it was so abrupt. When Takumi heard someone calling him Takumi-chan, he was still a little uncomfortable.
However, it was one thing to think so in his heart. On the surface, Takumi still nodded to the two of them very politely: "Okay, Granny Setsuno, Mr. Jiro."
"Un."
...
"Well, this is mainly because I have to trouble you."
Takumi said as he took out the dimensional terminal and gave it to Komatsu while explaining.
"I see, this is a lot more convenient. Take it, Komatsu."
Granny Setsuno nodded, said something to Komatsu, and then looked at Takumi.
"I really need to trouble you to make a special trip. By the way, have you eaten? You're already here, why not try my cooking?"
"Then I won't be polite. Since you are Komatsu's mentor, your craftsmanship will definitely be better. I'm looking forward to it."
When Takumi heard this, he found a seat and sat down without any formalities.
