As time passed, the island lived up to its reputation as a paradise for mutated animals. Besides the mutated shark incident, Rikka, who was standing on her water dragon, also faced an attack from a mutated eagle. However, she pierced it directly with an ice arrow.
Aside from the seaside, Yukino and the others resting leisurely on the shore were also attacked by monsters.
But without exception, the few mutated animals that charged out were easily killed by everyone...
After all, compared to the monsters of the Slime World, the mutated animals of the main world were still somewhat weaker.
Of course, this was also because, aside from Kokuo, all the B-Rank and above mutated animals on the island had been eliminated by Takeru. Even those newly born were promptly dealt with by Takeru, becoming new materials.
As for Komachi and Kuzuha, they went from initial shock to eventual numbness. They finally understood that these mutated animals, which are so dangerous to ordinary citizens, were lucky to last a few rounds against this group.
It wasn't until around two or three in the afternoon that everyone thoroughly had their fill of fun and returned to the villa, starving.
Seeing everyone weak with hunger, Takeru found it amusing. Yui and the others had continuously used mana and Chakra, depleting their own energy, which was why they were so hungry. After all, even Komachi and Kuzuha, who had no mana or Chakra, weren't that hungry.
However, Rem and the others had already prepared lunch.
"Alright, everyone, wash up and gather in the dining hall. It's time to eat. As for tonight, we'll have a barbecue." Looking at everyone, Takeru said directly.
"Takeru, you're a lifesaver!" Hearing Takeru's words, Ritsu and Yui clapped their hands together and said directly to Takeru.
"You should be saying that to Ram, Rem, Yukino, Ui, and the others who prepared the meal." Hearing their words, Takeru said directly.
While everyone was getting ready, Takeru entered the personal pocket dimension. After briefly checking on the growth of the Pokémon and magical beasts, Takeru nodded in satisfaction and went directly to the plant area.
He picked some Chocolate Mushrooms, Almond Cabbage, and for dessert, Banana Cucumbers and White Apples.
Takeru sampled a little and found that after a period of growth, these plants had become even more delicious. Unlike magical beasts, plants could be catalyzed by Takeru's own energy. So if needed, Takeru could cultivate these special vegetables and fruits in large quantities.
After collecting a large box of four types of produce, Takeru left the dimension satisfied and returned to Monster Island.
"Oh? Takeru, where did you go?" Seeing Takeru appear out of thin air, Shinka asked curiously.
"Yes, I went to get something." Hearing her words, Takeru revealed a mysterious smile.
Hearing Takeru say this, Shinka paused but didn't press further.
"Is everyone in the dining hall?" Subsequently, Takeru directly inquired.
"Yes, almost everyone is there." Hearing Takeru's words, Shinka quickly nodded.
"I see. Then let's go together." Hearing her say this, Takeru nodded and headed towards the dining hall.
Due to the number of people, the dining hall was furnished with a large round table equipped with a rotating mechanism. The table could comfortably accommodate thirty people.
At the moment, everyone seated there had no trouble, and the scene was very lively. The table was laden with various delicacies, most of which were from mutated animals or magical beasts.
Besides these, there were also some vegetables from Takeru's personal pocket dimension. Although these vegetables couldn't compare to the specially cultivated Banana Cucumbers and the like, they were still much more delicious than ordinary vegetables, having been nourished by high-concentration mana.
Looking at the table full of delicious food and the continuously wafting aroma, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Not to mention Komachi and Kuzuha, who hadn't seen such things before, even Hinata and the others, who often enjoyed delicious meals, couldn't resist swallowing.
Before eating, everyone unanimously took out their phones to take pictures. After all, any single dish here could probably easily match several months of an ordinary family's food expenses.
Some of the precious ones were simply invaluable.
As for the three little spirits, Midori, Kurenai, and Aoko, Rem had also prepared plates for them, with smaller utensils placed on them. They sat directly at the table.
"Takeru, Shinka!" When Takeru and Shinka arrived, everyone called out to Takeru.
Takeru nodded to them. Although not everyone had arrived yet and they couldn't start eating, they could still drink the MooMoo Milk on the table.
Takeru had Rem and the others place a bottle of about 500 milliliters of MooMoo Milk at each seat.
The starving Yui, Hinata, and others took the lead in drinking, revealing blissful expressions.
"Delicious! No matter how much I drink, I never get tired of it. It's amazing!"
Seeing their actions and smelling the food, Shizuka and the others couldn't resist picking up the MooMoo Milk beside them and drinking first, to slightly alleviate their craving.
After all the dishes were placed, Takeru had the last to arrive, Ram, Rem, Ui, Taihei, and others, take their seats.
"Alright, everyone, let's dig in!" Seeing that almost everyone was present, Takeru said with a light smile.
"Hey, Takeru, aren't Ryoma-san and Diablo-san joining us?" Hearing Takeru's words, Umaru said hesitantly.
"Please, everyone, enjoy your meal. We do not require food. We shall take our leave now. If you need anything, please call us." Hearing Umaru's words, before Takeru could speak, Diablo bowed slightly to everyone and said. After speaking, he directly led Ryoma out of the dining hall.
Ryoma, being a skeleton, had no need for food. As for Diablo, although he could eat, he felt it would be too disrespectful to sit at the same table as Takeru, so he steadfastly refused to do anything so improper. Over time, Takeru had grown accustomed to it.
"Everyone, don't worry about them. No need to be formal. Just eat. If it's not enough, we can add more dishes." Sensing the atmosphere cool slightly, Takeru waved his hand and said to everyone.
"This, I propose a toast to Takeru. Whether it's the venue or the food, Takeru has provided everything for us. Moreover, we often receive care from him." Hearing Takeru's words, Yukino was the first to speak.
"Agreed!" Hearing Yukino's words, everyone unanimously raised their milk bottles. Beatrice and the others looked curiously at everyone, then imitated them, raising their glasses towards Takeru.
Amidst the clinking of glass bottles, everyone took a big sip of MooMoo Milk, revealing expressions of enjoyment.
Then, everyone began picking up the serving chopsticks and helping themselves.
Soon, the dining hall was filled with nothing but the sounds of chewing and breathing. The dishes were so delicious that no one wanted to waste time talking.
"Hinata, you got stains on your clothes!" Noa, sitting next to Hinata, noticed the stains and used a towel to wipe off the Bacon Leaf juice.
"Noa, thank you!" Seeing Noa's actions, Hinata smiled at her.
"Un." Seeing Hinata's smile, Noa unconsciously smiled as well.
Beside them, Kanon was also carefully wiping Koyori, having already grown accustomed to taking care of her.
"Takeru, I want that!" Beatrice, sitting beside Takeru, tugged at his sleeve.
"Okay." Hearing her words, Takeru rotated the table and helped Beatrice pick some vegetables.
"Onii-chan, do you know what animal this meat is from? It's really delicious!" Across from Takeru, Komachi pointed curiously at an unidentified piece of meat on her plate and asked Hachiman.
"I don't know." Hearing her words, Hachiman rolled his eyes. Besides the meat from mutated animals, the table also featured many magical beasts he didn't recognize, all cut into pieces. Even if it was an animal he originally knew, he wouldn't recognize it now.
"Well, what about this steamed egg? It looks so ordinary, but the taste is unexpectedly delicious. Eating it feels like I'm melting!" Not giving up, Komachi asked again upon hearing Hachiman's words.
"I don't know." Hearing Komachi's words, Hachiman said as usual.
"..."
Shinka, Mai, and the others truly felt Takeru's generosity. Mutated animals were one thing, as obtaining them on this island wasn't very difficult.
But some of the magical beast meat, which didn't exist in this world, was casually used to entertain everyone. That was truly a lavish expenditure.
Although magical beast's meat could be easily hunted in other worlds if one had the strength, its value in the main world was high. After all, manifesting items had quotas and required points.
