Erina Nakiri turned her gaze to the cat-like creature, Nyanko-sensei.
Nyanko-sensei said, "Being able to travel between worlds means he has the opportunity to get things from other worlds. Maybe it's magic, or maybe it's a superpower. He might even find treasures that prolong life, the hope of eternal youth, or even a way to achieve immortality."
Erina Nakiri stiffened, involuntarily looking at Emiya. She wondered if she had just refused an incredible offer.
Emiya gave a wry smile. "You think too highly of me, Nyanko-sensei. The things you mentioned are very high-level items in other worlds. With my current abilities, I don't have a way to get my hands on them."
Erina Nakiri breathed a sigh of relief.
Emiya continued, "But in the future, it's possible I could get them."
Erina Nakiri: "..."
Could this guy not just finish his sentence in one go? she fumed, but in her heart, she felt a pang of regret.
To be honest, no one could refuse those things. Immortality is a pipe dream, but prolonging life or eternal youth...
Just those two things alone, she felt, were impossible to refuse. No one wishes to live a shorter life. Similarly, no one wants to grow old and lose their youth.
Ahhhhh, why did he wait until now to say this? If he'd mentioned these things earlier, I would never have refused him!
But he had to wait until after she refused to reveal all of this.
Is he a devil?
She had already firmly refused him. If she went back on her word now, wouldn't she be a person who broke her promise?
Erina Nakiri was filled with conflicted emotions.
On the other hand, Hisako Arato, her loyal assistant, quickly noticed her mistress's distress. She immediately said, "I'll do it. I'm willing to be your private chef, Mr. Emiya."
Erina Nakiri stared at Hisako in shock. I considered you a friend, and you betrayed me?
Hisako didn't notice Erina's expression. She pleaded earnestly, "Mr. Emiya, my cooking skills aren't as good as my mistress's, but I'll work hard to become a private chef worthy of you. So, if you really get the means for eternal youth or a longer life in the future, please share it with Miss Erina."
Emiya couldn't help but give a thumbs-up. "Those words are truly unexpected. You really are Miss Nakiri's loyal secretary-ko."
Hisako's face flushed. Secretary-ko? That's so embarrassing!
At the same time, she gnashed her teeth in hatred for Soma Yukihira, who had given her that nickname. She vowed to give him a severe lesson when she returned.
Standing to the side, Erina Nakiri looked at Hisako with immense gratitude. She had just thought Hisako was tempted by the offer and betrayed her. She never expected her to be doing it for her sake.
At that moment, she felt deeply ashamed of her earlier thought. Driven by this emotion, she finally spoke her true feelings to Emiya.
"Hisako is not my secretary; she's an irreplaceable friend!"
"Miss Erina!" Hisako was also incredibly moved by these words, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Erina Nakiri continued, "So what if it's a private chef? I'll do it! Just bring it on. Whatever you want to eat, I, Erina Nakiri, will satisfy you, and I stake the reputation of my God's Tongue on it."
Emiya nodded. "I have no doubt about that."
After all, in the Food Wars! story, Erina Nakiri never lost a single food duel.
Even the protagonist, Soma Yukihira, who had plot armor, still lost to her. With her God's Tongue, once she grows up, Erina Nakiri is destined to be a monstrous chef in the Food Wars! world.
That's why Emiya invited her to be his private chef.
Of course, if Erina Nakiri had refused, Emiya wouldn't have forced her. Although she is powerful, there are other chefs in other worlds who are no less skilled than her.
For example, Pai-Sama, from the Cooking Master Boy world, is a chef who far surpasses Erina Nakiri. Even with her God's Tongue, a grown-up Erina Nakiri might not be able to defeat Beli-Sama.
In addition, there's also the Blue-Eyed Tiger Mila, who is not only beautiful but also has superb cooking skills and is known as the "Empress of Spices." She would also make a great chef.
Emiya is determined to hire those two. If he gets a chance to go to the Cooking Master Boy world, he will definitely make them his chefs.
However, since his travel ability is random, who knows how many times he would have to travel to enter the Cooking Master Boy world. So, Emiya decided to hire Erina Nakiri as his chef for now. After all, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Facing Emiya's affirmation, Erina Nakiri felt proud, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Nyanko-sensei jumped down from Takashi Natsume's lap and landed nimbly on the coffee table.
He said, "Since the young Miss Erina has agreed, let me taste her cooking now. Emiya boy, can I use your kitchen?"
Erina Nakiri looked at Emiya.
Emiya nodded readily and said to Erina Nakiri, "I haven't had breakfast yet. Just make something simple with the ingredients in the refrigerator. But be prepared, the ingredients in my fridge are just ordinary."
Erina Nakiri stood up and said proudly, "Who do you think I am? Hisako, come help me."
Hisako Arato looked like she was heading into battle. "Yes, Miss Erina."
The two of them went into the kitchen and were busy for about half an hour. Then they came out with a few bowls of porridge and a small dish of side vegetables.
"Porridge for breakfast, huh? Not bad."
Emiya looked at the porridge in his hand. It looked like ordinary eight-treasure porridge, but it had a very special aroma. Emiya took a spoonful and tasted it.
Mmm... Delicious, super delicious! He had never had such a delicious eight-treasure porridge.
How should he describe it? Emiya wasn't a food critic and couldn't be like the judges in Food Wars! who would go on and on about the wonders of the porridge.
In fact, Emiya only had one thought in his head: delicious, so delicious.
So he didn't care that it was hot and drank the entire bowl in the shortest time possible. As the eight-treasure porridge went down, Emiya felt every cell in his body cheer.
He was in a trance, as if swimming in a sea of porridge, where endless eight-treasure porridge turned into soldiers, giving his body a full-body massage.
It was so satisfying.
After a while, Emiya finally came back to his senses. He took out his phone and used the screen as a mirror, seeing his face flushed and radiant, as if he had multiple orgasms.
As expected of Food Wars!, the drugging skills are indeed profound, Emiya thought to himself.
He turned his head and saw Takashi Natsume and Nyanko-sensei looking satisfied.
Takashi was fine, just a handsome boy with a flushed face, but Nyanko-sensei was a bit... especially with the dazed expression on his face, he looked even more lecherous.
Emiya decisively averted his gaze because Nyanko-sensei in that state was a bit much.
"How was it?" Erina Nakiri asked.
"It was amazing," Emiya said, giving a thumbs-up without hesitation.
Erina Nakiri hummed and said as a matter of course, "Of course. I am Erina Nakiri. But because the ingredients here are ordinary, this is all I could do. If you came to my world, I could do even better. All in all, hiring me as your private chef is the best decision you've ever made."
Nyanko-sensei came back to his senses. "I acknowledge your skill, young lady."
Takashi Natsume also nodded. "Thank you for the meal, Miss Nakiri."
"You're welcome."
Emiya looked at the time and said, "Everyone, let's end it here for today. You two have to go to school and a training camp tomorrow. I'll send you back now."
Although it was daytime in his world, it was still night in the worlds of both Takashi Natsume and Erina Nakiri.
Takashi Natsume then remembered that he had school tomorrow and quickly said, "Thank you, Emiya-san."
"You're welcome. By the way, you haven't finished reading this manga, have you? Do you want to take it with you?" Emiya said, pointing at the Natsume's Book of Friends manga.
Takashi Natsume shook his head. "No, let's leave it here. I'll handle things on my own in the future."
"Okay." Emiya snapped his fingers and traveled with them, returning to the Natsume's Book of Friends world.
This time, their landing spot was not the bathroom but Takashi's room. This surprised Emiya. He thought he would still land in the bathroom. It seems he landed in Takashi's room instead.
Come to think of it, I left from here.
So, if I leave from a certain place in a world, I will return to that same place?
Then, when I go back to the Food Wars! world, the landing spot should be Erina Nakiri's room, right?
"You should get some rest. I'll pick you up in a few days so we can go to Erina's world for the training camp. The students of Totsuki will make a delicious breakfast for us. It won't be as good as what Erina makes, but it will have its own unique flavor," Emiya said to Takashi Natsume.
Takashi Natsume hesitated and said slowly, "Won't that be too much trouble?"
Nyanko-sensei was anxious. "What are you talking about, Takashi? This is a great opportunity to taste different foods! Do you want to miss it?" If Takashi didn't go, he wouldn't be able to taste all those delicious dishes.
