Chapter 32
"Honoka, forming a School Idol group is no easy feat. But for now, it is the only viable way to resolve the school-closure crisis."
"So, Honoka, think it over carefully. Once you've made up your mind, let me know your choice! Whatever you decide, I will support you."
Looking at the string of messages from Mineo, Honoka's gaze was filled with bewilderment.
"Forming a School Idol group? Can this method really work?"
"Umi-chan, do you know how to form a School Idol group?"
"...."
Hearing Honoka's words, Sonoda Umi felt a wave of unease. The hair on her neck stood on end instantly.
"Um, Honoka, you can't possibly be planning to form a School Idol group, right!?"
"Yes, I want to try! Even though I don't really know what a School Idol group is, Mineo-oniichan said it's the only way to solve the problem."
"So no matter what, I have to give it my all!"
"Umi-chan, you'll help me, won't you...?"
"I..."
After finishing his messages to Honoka, Mineo was also chatting with Minami Kotori.
He shared his suggestions and thoughts with Kotori as well.
"Kotori-chan, I've shared my advice and thoughts with Honoka-chan."
"With her personality, she'll likely translate this into action very soon."
"Forming a School Idol group will probably face many hurdles in the early stages."
"But I believe in you guys; you will definitely succeed!"
"So throughout this process, you need to give her plenty of support..."
"Yes! Mineo-oniichan, I understand. As long as Honoka makes up her mind, I will definitely stay by her side and fight together!"
"Good. With you and Umi-chan supporting Honoka-chan, I believe you will succeed. If you encounter any difficulties during the process, let me know immediately, and I'll help figure out a solution."
"I understand, thank you Mineo-oniichan!"
"Get some rest early today. There's a long road ahead of you. You have to keep your spirits up, okay!"
After ending the chat with Kotori, Mineo didn't get up from the sofa just yet.
He was currently thinking about something else. Specifically, the scar on Kotori's leg.
Kotori had a scar on her leg. Because of it, she had always felt a sense of inferiority.
In real life, Kotori never dared to tell anyone about it because she was afraid people would laugh at her. But on the internet, while chatting with Mineo, Kotori had once accidentally let it slip.
Initially, Mineo had instinctively assumed that Kotori was perhaps just too immersed in her role as the original character, but he hadn't said much and chose to guide her patiently.
Now, knowing that Kotori was a real person—combined with the fact that she trusted him deeply, relied on him, and always called him "Mineo-oniichan" so sweetly and obediently—he had to find a way to erase her inner suffering.
Based on what Kotori had said back then, the scar on her leg couldn't be fully removed by modern medicine.
But he was now the owner of a "Gold Finger," and he possessed the massive asset that was the Dimensional Restaurant. If he couldn't even solve a tiny scar issue, he might as well give up.
Mineo opened his contact list and scrolled through the names one by one.
The next second, his gaze landed on a specific name.
"Toriko!"
If it's the world of Toriko, there are countless miraculous ingredients there. A small scar should be handled very easily.
Mineo immediately sent a message to Toriko.
"Toriko, are you there?"
"I'm eating! Mineo-kun, what's up?"
"There's something I want to ask you. Do you know of any ingredients that can treat scars on the human body?"
"Treating scars on the human body? I don't know, but there should be plenty of ingredients like that... Do you need some, Mineo-kun? I can help you ask around."
"Please ask for me. I need something like that."
"Got it, Mineo-kun, wait a bit!"
A few minutes later, Toriko sent a reply to Mineo.
"Mineo-kun, I asked my friend!"
"There are indeed many things that can treat scars. For example, the nectar from a Therapy Tulip, or the liquid extracted from a Doctor Aloe..."
"Toriko, didn't you always say you wanted to come eat at my restaurant? This time, I'm inviting you to dine at my place. I guarantee you'll be beyond satisfied!"
"But could you help me bring over some ingredients?"
"Really!? I used to ask to eat at your restaurant every day, but you never told me the location... why the sudden change...?"
"I'll give you the details when you arrive. Prepare the items I need first, and then I'll send the invitation to my restaurant. Oh, and if you come to eat, feel free to bring more ingredients for me... I'll take care of processing all of them!"
