Chapter 33
Seeing the message from Mineo, Toriko immediately replied with a simple "OK."
Following that, Toriko sent a few more lines in response:
"I'll ask a friend to prepare the medical-type ingredients right away. As for the other types, I'll bring as many as I can carry."
"Once I have these items ready, I'll contact you again, Mineo-kun."
After ending the short chat with Toriko, Mineo checked their total chat frequency.
Mineo and Toriko had exchanged over five thousand messages. In other words, Toriko already met the basic requirements to come and dine at the restaurant.
Once Toriko brought the specific ingredients he requested, Mineo would finally have a way to resolve the issue of the scar on Kotori's leg.
After chatting for quite a while with several friends, night had already fallen.
At this moment, Mineo suddenly remembered something very important.
His restaurant had one random guest summon available every week, and he hadn't used it yet. Today was the end of the week; tomorrow, the summon count would reset.
Since he didn't have much to do anyway, he decided to use the random summon to bring in a guest for a meal.
With that thought in mind, Mineo stood up.
"System, use the random guest summon feature!"
The moment Mineo finished his sentence, his phone emitted a powerful, brilliant golden light.
The World of Chūka Ichiban!
Somewhere in Sichuan Province, a beautiful woman dressed in pale blue ancient attire was walking along a rural path.
She was the master chef of the famous Kiku-ka-rou restaurant in Szechuan, a head chef dubbed the "Fairy of Pai," Chen Bangling.
Currently, Master Pai's mood was far from good.
Recently, due to an outbreak, many cattle in Szechuan had died from disease. This resulted in her family restaurant lacking the meat necessary to prepare their signature Mapo Tofu.
Mapo Tofu was Kiku-ka-rou's specialty, a dish beloved by countless customers. To ensure her patrons could still enjoy a delicious version, Master Pai had been racking her brain for several days, wondering if there was another ingredient that could replace the minced meat.
She had spent a long time thinking in the kitchen, yet she still hadn't found a suitable substitute.
Hoping to clear her head, she decided to head out for a walk. But at that moment, Master Pai suddenly noticed a new, narrow path appearing beneath her feet.
For some reason, she felt a sudden tug at her heartstrings. She immediately set her small feet onto the path, following it forward.
Before long, she arrived in front of a grand set of doors.
"Is this... a restaurant? Since when has there been a restaurant here?"
Master Pai felt bewildered. However, just then, the restaurant doors opened automatically. A voice drifted out from inside, reaching her ears.
"Are you a customer? Please, come in."
As Master Pai stepped into the restaurant, Mineo looked up and saw the guest visiting his shop.
Her beautiful black hair was partially loose, and her pale face was strikingly lovely. She had a small, pointed chin and eyebrows as gentle as water. Her pale blue ancient clothing accentuated her graceful and dignified figure.
Wait... isn't this Master Pai?
My luck is seriously incredible. My very first random summon actually called the Fairy of Pai!?
Mineo murmured to himself before speaking to Master Pai:
"Since a guest has arrived, please take a seat. This is the Super Dimension Restaurant."
"You can order any dish you wish to eat."
"The principle of this restaurant is to satisfy every guest who dines here to the best of my ability."
Hearing Mineo's words, Master Pai gave a gentle smile. After seating herself in a chair, she gave Mineo a polite nod.
"In that case, I shall trouble the owner. What is the signature dish of your shop? May I order a serving?"
"Signature dish?"
Hearing her request, Mineo smiled.
"Every dish in my restaurant is a signature dish. You are free to order anything you'd like to eat."
"Then, please give me a serving of Mapo Tofu."
"Mapo Tofu? Certainly, no problem at all. Please wait a moment."
Upon hearing Master Pai's order, Mineo headed into the kitchen. Once he was gone, Master Pai looked around with curiosity.
From the outside, the style of the restaurant was unique, but after entering, many objects within the shop left her feeling puzzled. For instance, the lights, the tablecloths, and the bar counter—she had no idea what those things were. However, she had come to eat, so she didn't ask too many questions.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Mineo emerged from the kitchen carrying the dish.
