Chapter 594 Takeru’s Arrival

"Hisako, give me the phone." Then, Erina signaled Hisako to hand her the phone.

"I'm sorry, Isshiki-senpai, but right now Miu-san doesn't want to be disturbed by too many people." Taking the phone, Erina got straight to the point.

"I see. But if Miu-san needs any help, please let me know. Especially with cooking, I will definitely make time to come." Not surprised by this answer, Isshiki smiled and spoke. This call was meant to convey a message: if Erina needed to entertain Miu, he could come help.

"I see. If I need you, I'll let you know. Let's leave it at that for now." Hearing this, Erina nodded and said goodbye.

"Okay, I won't disturb you further." Hearing this, Isshiki hung up. Although he had anticipated the result, getting it still made him sigh. He had learned of the major incident, which prompted this call.

Although being a chef was a prestigious profession in this world, and top chefs were highly respected, compared to special abilities, it was incomparable. Facing such a disaster, even the world's strongest chef would be just a scratch away.

Curious about these special abilities, he wondered if he could gain something from them. Now, his Elite Ten status conveniently gave him an advantage...

Erina understood Isshiki's motives but didn't comment. She was slightly relieved that she had been nearby, had sufficient status, and had acted quickly enough to invite Miu.

Soon, Erina and Hisako received calls from current and even graduated Elite Ten's members. The message was uniform: if cooking was needed, they would come immediately, and some were already on their way...

"Erina-nee, you seem busy." Miu, watching the two with constantly ringing phones, was curious. But with her keen hearing, she understood the general message: they were willing to cook for her.

Since this was a culinary academy, Miu found it strange, but it seemed logical.

"I can sense Master." Suddenly, Wendy spoke quickly. Mentioning Takeru, the expressionless Wendy smiled.

"Onii-chan is here!" Hearing this, Miu showed a delighted expression, completely relieved.

"Master disappeared again." Then, Wendy was stunned again, as the connection to Takeru had been clear for a moment, then disappeared.

"What? What's going on?" Hearing this, Miu was stunned. Erina and Hisako exchanged glances, not knowing the specifics.

Outside, while cleaning and on guard, people saw a handsome young man suddenly appear. Before they could react, he dissolved into smoke, leaving everyone stunned.

If not for the forest wolf incident earlier, they might have wondered if they were hallucinating.

...

Meanwhile, after a careful search, Takeru finally found the spacetime tunnel.

Seeing the tunnel, completely integrated with the environment, even Takeru, with his Space-Time manipulation talent, couldn't sense any difference.

If not for using many shadow clones for a thorough search, and one accidentally entering, he wouldn't have known where it was.

However, perhaps because they were in different worlds, the clone couldn't maintain itself on the other side and dissipated. This was why people saw Takeru disappear as soon as he appeared.

Although brief, the clone had transmitted much information. First, the tunnel's location. Although fleeting, glimpses of the other world were also seen.

The other world looked somewhat similar to the main world, at least with similar technology.

Also, Takeru was surprised to find the other world seemed to be one he knew.

After thinking it through, Takeru dispersed all his shadow clones and created a new one to find Diablo, Esdeath, and the others, telling them to stop searching.

After doing this, Takeru directly dove into the spacetime tunnel and disappeared.

Passing through the tunnel, Takeru felt he was in a chaotic space. Here, his perception of Space-Time was extremely clear.

But not long after, he saw the light ahead and emerged from the tunnel in a new place.

With Takeru's reappearance, those nearby looked wary, worried, and also wondered if Takeru would disappear.

Upon arriving, Takeru closed his eyes, quickly expanded his Observation Haki, and soon found Miu, Wendy, and the Filolial. His last trace of worry faded.

"Hello, I am Nakiri Senzaemon. May I ask who you are?" Soon, Nakiri Senzaemon quickly stepped forward, showing a respectful expression, the respect of the weak for the strong.

He had been told that someone had appeared at that spot before, but vanished. He had decided to wait there personally, feeling that the true master would arrive soon.

Just as he expected, within three minutes, Takeru arrived again. Seeing Takeru show no sign of disappearing, he quickly introduced himself.

'Nakiri Senzaemon... Food Wars!' Hearing his introduction and realizing he was at Totsuki Culinary Academy, Takeru fully identified this world.

"I am Nara Takeru." Having identified the world, Takeru nodded to him and, without waiting for more questions, teleported away.

Seeing Takeru suddenly disappear, Senzaemon was stunned. Today's events, even for someone as experienced as him, were more shocking than anything in the past year.

"Master!" The next moment, Takeru appeared directly in Erina's room. Wendy sensed him first, quickly coming to his side with a happy smile.

"Onii-chan!" Seeing Takeru arrive, Miu threw herself into his arms with delight.

Erina and Hisako, startled by the sudden appearance of a stranger, then heard Wendy and Miu's addresses and quickly reacted, standing up nervously.

Although it was her room, Erina felt at a loss because of Takeru's magical appearance and because she had something to ask of him.

"Hello, I'm Nakiri Erina. Please call me Erina. Nice to meet you." Soon, Erina composed herself and introduced herself to Takeru.

"Hello, I'm Nara Takeru, Miu's brother. Thank you for taking care of my sister." Looking at the nervous Erina, Takeru smiled slightly.

Seeing her long golden hair, tall figure, outstanding temperament, unique background, and talent, Takeru mused that she was truly a privileged daughter.

But he also knew she had a very difficult childhood due to her abusive father.

"N-no, Miu-san helped us a lot just now. We should be thanking her." Hearing Takeru's thanks, Erina quickly waved her hand, feeling embarrassed.

"Is that so?" Hearing her words, Takeru nodded slightly, not dwelling on it. He had seen the nearby destruction the moment he arrived.

Although the forest wolves were originally magical beasts from Takeru's world, and they had caused disaster in this world after passing through the spacetime tunnel, and Miu had killed them after crossing over, it might seem like a natural obligation.

Actually, no. If this world had also undergone special changes and disasters from other worlds had affected it, their inability to solve it was their own shortcoming. Miu's action was a favor, not an obligation.
