After Emiya chatted with the Amazonian twins for a while, Tiona let out a gasp as if she had just remembered something urgent.
After saying goodbye to Emiya and Riveria, she hurried away with her sister.
Riveria continued to show Emiya around Loki's territory.
She even personally arranged an empty room for Emiya to live in.
The room wasn't big, only about 50 square meters, but it was very cozy. It had a great view of an elegant and beautiful garden, and it was very clean and tidy.
Emiya thought it was nice and accepted it.
After seeing Riveria off, Emiya lay down on the bed. He had already slept not too long ago, so he wasn't tired, but to adjust to the time difference and prepare for his dungeon trip tomorrow, he still closed his eyes and started counting sheep.
Soon, Emiya fell asleep.
But he woke up several times in the middle of the night. After the last time, he couldn't fall back asleep, so he started practicing his psychic power in the room.
This continued until the sky outside began to brighten. Emiya finally stopped.
Then, Emiya activated his superpower and went back to his own world.
The main reason for him coming back was to get ready for the day.
All of his toiletries were in his own world, so he had to come back to get them.
What surprised Emiya was that Loki was not lying on the sofa scrolling on her phone.
Instead, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
The show playing was none other than the old anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Loki didn't pay too much attention to Emiya's return. She seemed to be completely immersed in the story.
Emiya shrugged and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up and drying his face, he came out of the bathroom. Loki hadn't even changed her sitting position.
He smiled helplessly, then activated his superpower and went from his world back to the Danmachi world.
Knock, knock, knock...
As soon as Emiya returned, he heard a rapid knocking on the door.
He opened the door and saw Tiona standing there with a big smile. "Hey, newbie-kun, good morning."
"Good morning, Tiona." Emiya was a bit surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"
He didn't understand why she would come to his door today. They had just met yesterday.
This was more than just being outgoing.
"I'm here to go into the dungeon with you, of course," Tiona said.
Emiya was confused. "You and me? In the dungeon?"
Tiona nodded.
"Why?"
"It's Riveria's order," Tiona didn't hide it and quickly told him the reason.
Emiya was stunned, then he understood and nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that Riveria was worried about his safety.
No, to be more precise, she was worried about Loki.
After understanding this, Emiya didn't pretend to refuse Riveria's arrangement. Instead, he readily nodded.
"In reality, I have never been to the dungeon before. If I have a first-rate adventurer to accompany me, I would not refuse."
"But I hope you don't expect too much from me. Although psychic power is very convenient, my current attack power is not enough to defeat very powerful monsters."
After all, high-level monsters had a natural, powerful defense that could easily withstand a psychic attack.
For some monsters, Emiya's attack wouldn't even scratch them.
Of course, if Emiya's level were to increase, the destructive power of his psychic abilities would also increase. Defeating high-level monsters would be nothing in the future.
Tiona patted her chest, which was just as flat as Loki's, and said, "Don't worry. If we encounter high-level monsters, I'll take care of them myself. Of course, since this is your first time in the dungeon, I won't take you to a very deep level. You can rest assured about that. By the way, have you eaten breakfast yet, newbie-kun?"
Emiya shook his head. "No."
Tiona waved her hand. "Let's go. I'll take you to the dining hall."
"Thank you," Emiya nodded and followed Tiona. She led him to the dining hall. In reality, Emiya had been to the dining hall when Riveria took him on a tour of the territory yesterday.
But unfortunately, Loki Familia's territory was huge, and Emiya got lost after leaving the dining hall.
He was relieved that Tiona was willing to take him to the dining hall.
Emiya was also looking forward to seeing what breakfast in this other world was like.
"Hey, isn't that Tiona?"
"Good morning, Tiona."
"You're not with your sister today, Tiona?"
On the way to the dining hall, they met a lot of fellow adventurers. When these adventurers saw Tiona, they would all happily greet her.
Tiona would also respond to them enthusiastically.
Emiya had experienced this kind of thing yesterday when he was with Riveria, but it was different. When those adventurers saw Riveria, they were very restrained and even a little worshipful.
Their reactions were completely different from how they reacted to Tiona.
This was probably due to Tiona's free-spirited personality. She could quickly get along with anyone.
This alone was enough to make Emiya look at her with new eyes.
Of course, besides Tiona, these adventurers also saw Emiya. But unlike the happy expressions when they saw Tiona, their eyes on Emiya were full of meaningful looks.
"Is that the newbie who joined our Familia?"
"Yesterday it was Riveria, and today it's Tiona?"
"To be accompanied by first-rate adventurers... this newbie must be something else."
"Could he be some kind of important person?"
Emiya forced a bitter smile. Why did these people have to talk so loudly? Did they not know what a whisper was, or were they doing it on purpose?
"You've become quite the topic of conversation, newbie-kun," Tiona had obviously heard the comments, but she didn't stop them. Instead, she patted Emiya's shoulder with a smile.
Emiya said, "I don't really want to be the topic of conversation."
"Do you dislike it, newbie-kun? They don't mean any harm," Tiona said with a dry laugh.
Emiya agreed. With his psychic abilities, his senses were very sharp. These people's words had a hint of jealousy and envy, but they were just normal emotions.
Very few of them had any ill intent toward Emiya.
"I'm just not used to it," Emiya said, thinking it over. He had been an ordinary person his whole life and had never experienced being the center of attention.
Tiona laughed out loud. "You'd better get used to it soon!"
As they talked, the two of them finally arrived at the dining hall. They entered through a ten-meter-tall door and found themselves in a dining hall the size of a football field.
Although only a few members of Loki Familia appeared in the story—Loki, Finn, Riveria, the Amazonian sisters, the Sword Princess Ais, the werewolf Bete, the dwarf Gareth, and the elf Lefiya—that was just because of the limited space and they couldn't show everyone.
In reality, as one of the most powerful Familias in the Labyrinth City of Orario, Loki Familia had a huge number of members. It was only natural for them to have a dining hall the size of a football field.
The moment Emiya stepped inside, he smelled an incredibly appetizing aroma, and his mouth began to water uncontrollably. This made him even more excited about breakfast in another world.
Then, he followed Tiona and got in line to get his breakfast. It looked very simple: a bowl of white soup, a few pieces of bread, and a bowl of roasted meat cut into small pieces.
Tiona's breakfast was similar to Emiya's, but the portion was several times larger.
Although the breakfast was simple, both the roasted meat and the white soup had an enticing aroma. Emiya looked forward to it and took a bite of the bread.
Hmm... it tasted similar to whole-wheat bread, but the flavor was very ordinary. There was nothing special about it.
After eating a piece of bread, Emiya picked up the white soup and took a sip.
In an instant, his eyes lit up.
It was so savory!
He didn't know what kind of ingredients were used to make this white soup, but the flavor was incredibly savory.
It was a completely different feeling from the onion gratin soup he had yesterday, but the taste was just as good.
Was the chef who made the food in this dining hall on the same level as Kojiro Shinomiya?
Emiya thought this was unlikely. There weren't many chefs on Kojiro Shinomiya's level. The main reason was that the Shokugeki no Soma world was a world centered around cooking.
The chefs in that world were generally stronger than chefs in other worlds.
Even some students from Totsuki could be head chefs at some five-star hotels in other worlds. You could see this from Soma Yukihira's ability to 'drug' people with his food.
After all, the food in the Shokugeki no Soma world came with its own illusions.
The number of worlds that could compete with the chefs in this world was very few.
Emiya guessed that Little Chef would not be inferior to Shokugeki no Soma. It might even be a little better, as the food in that world glowed. Who could resist that?
Besides the glowing food, the world of Little Chef also had the eight Legendary Cooking Utensils.
Each one of them came with a mysterious power. In other words, it wasn't scientific.
And other than that, the world of Toriko could easily crush Shokugeki no Soma. Not only did it have incredibly high-level ingredients, but the chefs were also even more impressive.
The Danmachi world was a world centered around adventure. There really weren't many people who could surpass the chefs in the Shokugeki no Soma world, as anyone with talent would become an adventurer. Who would want to be a chef?
But the white soup in Loki Familia's breakfast was just as delicious as the onion gratin soup Kojiro Shinomiya had made.
The most reasonable explanation was the superior ingredients.
