Takumi opened the dimensional terminal and entered the dimensional group.
At this time, many members of the dimensional group were active, chatting about various topics, and the message count had reached 99+.
Among them, the chefs led by Nakiri Alice were the most active, discussing culinary techniques with Komatsu.
The rest of the members were simply chatting and venting about the things they encountered in their daily lives.
[Lacus: I watched the news today. The United Earth has launched another protest to express their resistance toward us Coordinators. I feel the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. Why must we fight each other? We could clearly coexist in peace.]
[Misaka Mikoto: That is just how people are. The history of mankind is a history of war. It is not peaceful here either; conflicts are breaking out in many places.]
[Hermione: It is the same here. Many countries are fighting against Camelot. The United States on the other side also held a large-scale maritime military exercise a few days ago, trying to intimidate us.]
[Nakiri Alice: Komatsu—your cooking skills are so profound. It really is a world filled with fantasy ingredients. I am so envious!]
[Komatsu: You do not have to be so envious. Takumi-san has already established a partnership with President Ichiryu. Trade will begin soon, and you will also have access to fantasy ingredients.]
[Takumi: That is right, Alice, do not be too envious. There is a Gourmet World out there, and there will be one in the Dimensional City in the future. When the time comes, you can go there to exchange ideas and learn from Komatsu.]
The previous agreement with Ichiryu was to send people to the Gourmet World to gain experience. With such an opportunity, Takumi would not simply let combatants go there to train.
At the same time, he also planned to let Nakiri Alice and the other chefs go there for further training to learn advanced culinary techniques from the world of Gourmet Hunter.
[Hermione: Wow, the City Lord is here!]
[Lacus: Welcome, Brother Takumi.]
[Misaka Mikoto: Front row! Catching a wild Boss (doge).]
[Asuna Yuuki: Takumi—is this true? Can we really go there to study in the future?]
[Takumi: Of course it is true. I have even made an agreement with Ichiryu, the president of the IGO. I am just waiting for the transition with the IGO to be completed.]
[Nakiri Alice: Wow! That is great!]
In the Dimensional City, after receiving Takumi's confirmation, Nakiri Alice and Asuna Yuuki jumped with excitement and quickly shared the good news with the other chefs.
[Misaka Mikoto: Congratulations, Alice and Asuna. You have finally gotten your wish.]
[Hermione: Congratulations!]
[Lacus: Congratulations!]
[Nakiri Alice: Thank you, everyone!]
[Asuna Yuuki: Thank you!]
[Takumi: Hestia, Megumin, Busujima Saeko—where are you all right now?]
[Hestia: ? ? ?]
[Megumin: ? ? ?]
[Busujima Saeko: ...]
[Kanae Kocho: We have settled in the Swordsmith Village. Did something happen?]
At this time, Kanae Kocho's team had just arrived in the world-famous forging city, the Swordsmith Village, where they had purchased a building to serve as their base and were currently cleaning and resting.
[Takumi: The lair of the Dark Faction has been located. I have asked Finn Deimne to contact the major familias, and we will launch an encirclement and annihilation operation tomorrow.]
[Takumi: I will lead the charge personally. If you are free tomorrow, come to Orario through the dimensional gate to provide support.]
[Hestia: Oh! Have you finally caught those rats? That is wonderful. I will definitely be there tomorrow!]
As for the threat of the Dark Faction, Hestia had already learned about it from Takumi. She understood these people were the ones undermining world stability and were the targets Takumi had always intended to eliminate.
Now that the Dark Faction's lair had been found and this hidden danger could finally be removed, Hestia was very happy to see it happen.
After all, no matter how boring this world might be, it was still her home world, and Hestia did not want to see it destroyed.
[Kanae Kocho: Okay, I understand. I will bring everyone there tonight.]
Kanae Kocho agreed simply.
They had only arrived at the Swordsmith Village today and had not yet familiarized themselves with the surroundings. There were no urgent matters, so leaving temporarily was not a problem.
Turning to the members cleaning the stronghold, Kanae Kocho said:
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. We are here to stay, but tomorrow Orario will launch an operation to suppress evil forces. We are going to participate, so we will return tonight."
"Oh!" Megumin was also in the dimensional group, so she knew what was happening. When she heard Kanae Kocho's words, she became excited and struck a chuunibyou pose.
"The final battle between justice and evil is truly exciting! I, the great Archwizard Megumin, master of the ultimate magic, apply to join the fray!"
"Although I do not know exactly what you are talking about, as long as there is a fight, it is fine by me. I have been traveling for the past few days and my body feels a bit stiff. I could use the exercise..."
Drake was also excited at the prospect of a battle.
The ahoge on Nero Claudius's head swayed as she said, "Hmm, it sounds like it will be quite interesting."
"It is my duty to punish evildoers," Saber Alter said with a cold expression.
"Plus one!" Okita Souji raised her hands excitedly.
"As long as it is Master's order..." Okita Souji Alter looked indifferent.
Busujima Saeko, Shinobu Kocho, Kanae Kocho, and Sanjouno Haruhime did not speak but silently put down their work and looked toward Kanae Kocho.
Seeing this, Hestia also walked over.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Kanae Kocho nodded. "Tidy up, lock the doors and windows, and let us return to the Dimensional City now to prepare in advance."
"Yes!"
In the dimensional group...
[Misaka Mikoto: What is going on? Takumi, do you intend to take action personally? Hiss! Is the enemy that strong? You actually need to go yourself?]
[Komatsu: Yes, I also heard that other people from the IGO and even other friendly forces are participating. It feels like something big is about to happen (sweat emoji).]
[Lacus: Plus one.]
[Nico Robin: Plus one.]
As soon as Takumi gave the order to his team, the group chat immediately exploded.
Everyone was momentarily curious about what had happened to make Takumi take action personally.
Especially Komatsu.
While others did not know the full extent of Takumi's strength and were merely curious, Komatsu had learned about it through his masters, Setsuno and Jiro. Takumi was a powerhouse capable of destroying a planet!
And now, Takumi said he would take action personally?!
He had even mobilized many subordinates and united with other friendly forces.
Komatsu truly could not imagine what kind of enemy deserved such level of attention from Takumi.
