Watching Beatrice, Tohru, and Miu also enter meditation, Takeru lay down on a hammock woven by the Tree of Life, leisurely chatting with the three little ones, Kurenai, Midori, and Aoko. They enjoyed this rare, quiet time alone with Takeru.
After distributing Life Water to everyone, Takeru still had thirteen bottles left. Ram, Rem, Diablo, and the others weren't here. Also, Mjurran, Ryoma, and the others were still guarding the castle.
Back in the Food Wars World, after gathering everyone, Senzaemon gave a final briefing.
"Before receiving our otherworldly guests, let me say a few words again. I hope everyone will do their utmost to make the best dishes. This may concern the survival of our world." Looking at everyone, Senzaemon's expression was very grave.
"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Hearing Senzaemon's words, Kobayashi Rindo, the second seat of Totsuki's current Elite Ten, raised her hand slightly.
"No, it's not exaggerated at all. I think you've all heard about what happened on campus this morning." Hearing Rindou's words, Senzaemon shook his head and asked.
"Yes, the matter with the monsters. We know roughly." Hearing this, Shinomiya Kojiro, the first seat of the 79th Elite Ten, pushed up his glasses and spoke softly.
"But I think you're still not clear about what those monsters really are." Hearing Shinomiya's words, Senzaemon spoke again.
Hearing this, besides Erina and others who had witnessed it, everyone else showed curious expressions.
Clap, clap.
Seeing their reactions, Senzaemon clapped his hands. Soon, several staff members pushed out the forest wolf Miu had killed in the morning. Seeing its giant size, and the fierce aura it still gave off even in death, everyone was completely stunned.
Even though they had seen pictures and photos before, only by experiencing it directly could they feel the oppression this magical beast gave.
Then, Senzaemon played the entire surveillance recording for them. Seeing thick trees and solid walls destroyed by the forest wolf's attacks, and the police's gunfire completely failing to break its defense, they understood even more the terror of these forest wolves.
Then, they saw Miu appear. From saving people to killing the forest wolf that the police couldn't handle took less than three minutes. This left everyone in silence.
"Um, does everyone from that world have such power?" Then, Inui Hinako raised her hand and asked a question everyone was curious about.
"Of course not. In their world, such people are collectively called Ability Users, and their numbers are very few." Hearing this, Senzaemon shook his head directly.
Hearing Senzaemon's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This was more plausible. If everyone were like that, their world could be dominated at any time.
"However, according to Miu-san, although the number isn't high, her power is at the bottom level. At least, as far as she knows, her brother's estimated strength is over a hundred times stronger than hers." Before they could fully relax, Senzaemon spoke again.
His words were like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake, completely blasting apart everyone's sense of luck.
"Director, you're not joking, are you? We don't even know the true strength of that girl named Miu, but over a hundred times stronger than her... can an individual's power destroy a planet?" Hearing Senzaemon's words, Dojima Gin couldn't stay calm.
Indeed, everyone only saw Miu easily kill the forest wolf, but it was unclear how much of her strength she used. Ten percent? One percent? Completely unknown.
If killing the forest wolf was her full strength, that was one thing. But if this was also just the tip of the iceberg of Miu's power, then the people of that world could easily bring about the apocalypse.
"It's not impossible. At least, Miu's sister could easily create an ice ball over fifty meters in diameter. Just relying on gravity and acceleration could cause massive destruction. And magic and other abilities can do things beyond our imagination."
"Grandfather, you also have the recording of Takeru-san teleporting, right?" Hearing Gin Dojima's words, Erina spoke up.
"A fifty-meter diameter ice ball? Teleportation?" Hearing Erina's words, everyone showed curious expressions.
"Yes, here. Appearing out of thin air, then disappearing, then appearing again. We've examined it with slow playback. His appearance was not due to high-speed movement, but true teleportation." Hearing Erina's words, Senzaemon played the video of Takeru teleporting.
"Actually, there's more. Takeru-san could pinpoint Miu's location. We don't know if this mysterious ability is simply something like a tracker, or if he has detection abilities that can see everything within a certain range."
"I lean towards the second. In the video Miu showed me, their magical attacks could precisely kill monsters while cleverly avoiding the humans fighting them." Then, Erina spoke seriously.
"Meaning, if they had ill intent, our world would face an unprecedented calamity? And with these special abilities, even humanity's strongest thermal weapons, the nuclear missiles, couldn't kill them, right?" Hearing Erina's description and Takeru's teleportation ability, Shinomiya said with a gloomy expression.
"That's as a matter of course. Perhaps you're also unaware that in the turmoil a few days ago, most of the world's powerful thermal weapons can no longer be used. The only ones usable now, as you saw in the video, are large-caliber revolvers. But such attacks couldn't even break the monsters' defense." Hearing everyone's words, Senzaemon dropped another shocking piece of news.
"No way!" Hearing this, everyone was completely stunned. Although this world was relatively peaceful, military deterrence was still necessary.
If high-intensity thermal weapons were no longer usable, it would be hard to guarantee that some wouldn't have designs. After all, relying solely on handguns, it would sometimes be very difficult to suppress some underground forces.
"Everyone can rest assured. No matter what, the national power is still the strongest. Now, the most important thing is to host the upcoming otherworldly guests well. Otherwise, not to mention world chaos, we could be directly destroyed."
"Of course, at least Miu and Takeru-san seem relatively friendly. In their world, they also prefer to live a leisurely life. Things aren't as bad as we imagine."
"Most importantly, this might be an opportunity for Totsuki and everyone. If we host them well, we might obtain even more special things. For example, you can try these first." As he spoke, Senzaemon took out several bottles of Rainbow Juice and several bottles of Moomoo Milk.
"Could these be from that world?" Looking at the seven-colored Rainbow Juice, everyone knew these were no ordinary items.
"Yes, these are a gift Takeru-san left before leaving. Please, have a taste." As he spoke, Senzaemon signaled the staff to pour everyone a cup of Rainbow Juice and Moomoo Milk.
Just smelling the aroma of the juice and fresh milk, everyone understood these were extraordinary. Then, Dojima Gin and the others raised their cups of Rainbow Juice and tasted it.
As the juice entered their mouths, they clearly felt its delicious impact, closing their eyes to enjoy it quietly. Inui Hinako, Kinokuni Nene, and the other women first raised their cups of Moomoo Milk and quickly drank it down.
Instantly, the unique sweet aroma of the milk enveloped everyone. They felt like they were bathing in pure natural milk, enjoying its caress. The rich, smooth texture made them reluctant to swallow.
After tasting, just as they were about to speak, they felt the energy contained in the juice and milk transforming them, relieving their fatigue and lingering injuries.
As top chefs, they frequently trained their strength and stamina. After all, whether it was stir-frying or simply knife skills, to reach the level of a top chef, strong physical strength, constitution, and endurance were essential.
