Chapter 596 Shocked Senzaemon

"Erina, are you alright? Hmm, what's this smell?" Entering the room, Senzaemon quickly detected the lingering aroma of Rainbow Juice. Just smelling it made him feel energized, surprising him.

"Grandfather, this is Rainbow Juice, a gift from Takeru-san. Oh, by the way, Takeru-san is Miu's brother." Seeing her grandfather also notice the special aroma in the air, Erina quickly explained.

"Rainbow Juice, Miu's brother... I see. Erina, did you get any information from them?" Hearing this, Senzaemon asked with concern.

Although curious about the taste of Rainbow Juice, he was rational enough to prioritize the most important matters.

"Yes, Grandfather. First, Takeru-san and Miu are not from this world." Hearing this, Erina quickly spoke.

"I see. Anything else?" Although he had somewhat expected it, actually seeing people from another world appear and then disappear in front of him was still thrilling. Having mentally prepared himself, he wasn't too shocked.

"Yes. According to my discussion with Miu, their world's technology seems similar to ours. Many things are the same, even the names, especially the language. However, the leaders of their country are different."

"Also, in their world, superpowered individuals only began to appear publicly a little over two months ago. Their world has also experienced many disasters called 'beast waves'. And Miu herself was an ordinary person just over three months ago..." Seeing her curious grandfather, Erina didn't hide anything and told him what she knew.

"To reach this level in just three months?" Hearing Erina's words, Senzaemon was truly shocked. He had spent a lifetime of continuous training to achieve his current physique, yet the other person had easily surpassed him in three months.

"Yes. Also, according to Miu's estimation, the strength of others in her family far exceeds hers. Her brother, being the strongest, is over a hundred times stronger than her." Then, Erina dropped an even more shocking revelation.

"Over a hundred times stronger?" Hearing Erina's words, Senzaemon was even more astounded. Thinking of Takeru's sudden appearance and disappearance, it seemed plausible.

"By the way, Grandfather, Takeru-san said he would bring his family here this evening, about twenty to thirty people. He asked us to prepare one hundred portions of food. If the dishes satisfy them, he can provide us with some special ingredients." Then, Erina quickly spoke.

"What? I see." Hearing Erina's words, Senzaemon was shocked, then quickly calmed down and nodded.

Facing a superhuman like Takeru, he naturally wouldn't underestimate or neglect him. To bring ruin through negligence would be truly unfortunate.

And this was an opportunity for Totsuki Academy to truly transcend this world. If they could really obtain these special ingredients or learn some magic, Totsuki would truly soar.

"When will they arrive?" Hearing this, Senzaemon quickly asked.

"Around evening." Hearing this, Erina quickly spoke.

"Good. Summon all the current [Elite Ten] now. I will also try to bring back previous Elite Ten's members. We cannot miss this opportunity." Knowing the approximate time, Senzaemon quickly spoke.

"Yes. Also, one more thing. The special passage they came through and returned through is called a spacetime tunnel by Takeru-san. The tunnel's formation is random but natural. It's a passage connecting the two worlds. If Takeru-san can enter our world, we can also go over there."

"However, Takeru-san said his world holds great danger. He won't stop us from going over, but normally he won't help us with those dangers either. After he returns this time, he will set up something called a barrier to protect the passage, preventing monsters from accidentally entering here. Monsters are the creatures Miu killed just now."

"Finally, if we do go over, we must obey the rules. If we cause excessive destruction to the environment, Takeru-san will not show mercy." Seeing her grandfather about to leave and make arrangements, Erina quickly spoke.

"Spacetime tunnel... I see. Don't worry. Until the situation stabilizes, I will not let anyone go over there." Hearing Erina's words, Senzaemon nodded. Even if Takeru hadn't said it, he wouldn't send people to an unknown world, especially one with many monsters, without understanding the situation.

However, knowing Takeru would prevent monsters from entering randomly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now, they only needed to keep watch over the passage.

"By the way, Grandfather, try this too. Cuisine from that world might be more advanced than ours." Seeing Senzaemon about to leave, Erina took out a bottle of Rainbow Juice and handed it to him.

"Is that so?" Hearing Erina's words, Senzaemon's heart sank. If the other world was inferior, they could propose cooperation. But if everything in the other world surpassed theirs, he couldn't think of anything they could use to attract that world's favor.

However, it was too early to conclude. Thinking this, he quickly opened the bottle of Rainbow Juice, took a deep breath of the intoxicating fruity aroma, and took a large, bold gulp.

As the smooth juice entered his mouth, the flavor exploded on his taste buds, making him widen his eyes. His clothes even burst open.

Feeling the ultimate flavor constantly changing in his mouth, he showed an expression of intoxication.

Soon, the entire 500ml bottle of Rainbow Juice was completely drained.

After a moment of silence, he regained his energy. He had to admit, the Rainbow Juice had given him a great surprise and shock.

It was just a drink, yet it presented seven different flavor transformations, all perfectly natural, as if these seven flavors naturally existed and converged in the same substance.

Thinking of the unknown other world and Takeru's mention of special foods, he didn't rule out this possibility.

However, although this drink was a top-tier delicacy, it wasn't impossible to create dishes surpassing it. The only real difficulty was whether this drink represented an ordinary beverage in Takeru's world. If so, they would never surpass the top-tier cuisine of Takeru's world.

Of course, since Takeru could carry large quantities of this drink, it meant he consumed it often, indicating that this level of cuisine, at least, was not unpalatable to Takeru. So, although the situation wasn't optimistic, it wasn't hopeless.

"Erina, put some of these drinks in the reception hall. Also, get yourself ready for the cooking this evening." After thinking it through, Senzaemon quickly said to Erina.

"I understand." Hearing this, Erina nodded.

Just as he walked out the door, Senzaemon noticed something else. He felt his body slightly warming, as if being transformed by special energy. The fatigue from dealing with so many things had vanished.

Not only that, but even some lingering injuries from over-training in his youth seemed to have diminished, allowing him to exert even more power. He now felt full of energy.

"So this is cuisine from another world!" Feeling the changes in his body, Senzaemon's eyes lit up. The prospect of becoming stronger simply by eating good food filled him with immense longing.

...

Back on Takeru's side, after passing back through the spacetime tunnel with Miu, Takeru returned to his island. Upon emerging, he saw everyone gathered around.

"Master, Miu-nee, Wendy-nee, are you alright?" Seeing Takeru and the others return, Filo came to Takeru's side and asked.

"We're fine. Sorry to worry you. Let's go back first." Stroking Filo's head, Takeru shook his head gently and signaled for everyone to leave first.

Before leaving, Takeru also set up a barrier around the spacetime tunnel for protection and marked its location.
