"One Piece, Pokémon, One-Punch Man—fantasy ingredients exist in all these worlds.
The system said, "The Host can obtain fantasy ingredients by opening the doors to other worlds."
"Pokémon…"
Satou's forehead was covered in black lines. Was he going to have to capture and eat Pokémon in the future?
"Then how do I open the door to another anime world?"
Satou asked.
"As long as the Host completes the ultimate mission in the Shokugeki no Soma world, you will obtain the key to another anime world's door. The Shokugeki no Soma world is B-level, and the Host has the opportunity to open the door to a higher-level world."
The system said.
"World level? What the heck is that?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"Anime worlds have four levels: C, B, A, and S. Among them, C-level is an ordinary world, B-level is a world with some supernatural abilities, A-level is a world with incredible abilities, and S-level is a world with universe-destroying abilities."
The system explained.
Satou nodded. Although Shokugeki no Soma and the real world were very similar, it also possessed abilities beyond common sense, such as God Tongue and God Tongue.
"Then what kind of world is this?"
He asked again.
"A mixed world, where characters from multiple anime worlds may appear."
The system explained, but it did not specify the exact world level.
Satou nodded. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of world it was, according to his memory, there didn't seem to be strange things like Ultraman, little monsters, or Super Saiyans in this world.
"Forget it, no matter what, let's complete the mission first."
Satou organized his thoughts, then walked to the refrigerator, intending to make a dish.
However, when he opened the refrigerator door, a thousand alpacas galloped through his mind.
Because there was nothing in the refrigerator, only a few eggs and some leftover rice.
Satou felt his pocket; there wasn't a single penny inside.
How could he make a dish that would satisfy the picky God Tongue, Erina Nakiri, within two hours, using only eggs and leftover rice?
Satou was immediately stumped.
"I can only make omurice."
At this point, there was no other way; he could only try.
Each time Satou opened the door to a world, he would randomly gain an ability from that world. This time, Satou gained God Tongue and an additional cooking level of 10.
Satou was an orphan in his previous life and had to take care of himself, so he already knew how to cook, and his skill was quite good. With this additional cooking level, Satou's cooking level was now 20.
"I wonder what level a cooking skill of 20 is equivalent to in the Shokugeki no Soma world? Is it even up to the standard of a regular Far Moon student?"
Satou thought to himself as he prepared the dish.
To his surprise, making omurice felt surprisingly easy and familiar. Before long, two fragrant, steaming hot omurice dishes were ready.
One of them was for Satou himself; this was his dinner.
"Oh? Are you cooking?"
At this moment, a surprised voice came from behind him.
Satou turned around and saw that Erina Nakiri had returned.
By now, she had changed into Far Moon's school uniform. Her slender legs were encased in black stockings, and her full bosom seemed ready to burst forth, exuding a vibrant, youthful aura.
In Satou's mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene where Erina Nakiri had fallen on him and kissed him.
"You seem to be thinking something wicked."
Erina Nakiri frowned slightly and said rather coldly.
"Cough, cough, how could that be?"
Satou quickly coughed lightly and said.
"Hmph!"
Erina Nakiri snorted coldly, saying somewhat impatiently, "Although I don't know why your room is connected to my bathroom, I came here to inform you that tomorrow I will blow up my mansion and rebuild a new one, so from now on, we will never have any contact again."
"Ah? You're going to blow up your mansion?"
Satou was startled, then looked at his own old, cramped apartment, and a wave of indignation surged through him.
Although he hadn't been to Erina Nakiri's room, just looking at the bathroom, he knew it must be extremely luxurious. Yet she said she'd blow it up just like that. Does she have to be so rich? She could at least let me live there!
"Hmph, of course. I can't tolerate a strange male suddenly appearing in my room."
Erina Nakiri snorted lightly, disdainfully.
"Alright."
Satou felt a bit regretful. What a great opportunity to live with a girl, just gone like that.
"Do you want to eat the omurice I made? I made two portions."
Satou tried asking.
Erina Nakiri glanced at the omurice, which didn't even have ketchup, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. She said haughtily, "Do you know how many high-end restaurants wave money just to have me taste their dishes? Low-class commoner food like omurice is simply defiling my noble tongue!"
"Your tongue does taste good, quite sweet."
Satou subconsciously blurted out.
"What did you say?!"
Two blushes appeared on Erina Nakiri's angelic face, her eyebrows shot up, and she said exasperatedly.
What happened before was definitely a stain on her life!
"Uh, nothing."
Satou realized he had said the wrong thing, then pointed to his omurice and said, "Are you really not going to eat it?"
"Hmph! I have no interest in tasting such a low-class dish."
Erina Nakiri said with great disdain.
As the daughter of a culinary giant and Far Moon's God Tongue, how could she possibly look favorably upon such a dish?
Satou was in a pickle. If this Tsundere wouldn't even taste it, then how was he going to complete the mission?
Just as Satou was in a difficult situation, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Satou quickly went to open the door and saw that it was Kasumigaoka Utaha from next door.
"Um… were you cooking earlier?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks were a little red, and she said shyly.
"Yes."
Satou nodded and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha, blushing, said a little embarrassedly, "Could I buy a portion of the dish you made?"
Earlier, she was writing a novel next door when she suddenly smelled a very alluring aroma, and only then did she realize she hadn't eaten dinner.
Originally, she could have gone downstairs to buy something, but the aroma coming from next door was simply too tempting. After several hesitations, she still came over and knocked on Satou's door.
"You don't need to pay; I just happened to make an extra portion."
Satou said.
