Cherreads

Chapter 33 - Chapter 21: ITADAKIMASU !

As the atmosphere began to die down, another two breathtaking beauties made their entrance. One had pink hair and a cute face, with a body that could undeniably make a man sin. Her breasts were cupped by pink, clam-shaped shells, and her white gown, covering her long legs, was a sight to behold. She was tall, standing at 6'4", and her gifts were naturally large.

Beside her was a woman with long, blue, water-like hair cascading down. Her pink dress was like a tight suit, showing off her slim body and wide hips. With their porcelain skin and the other girl's 5'9" height, there was no questioning that these two must be princesses, judging by how they walked and talked to each other.

"Hey, where is our seat, Vivi?" Shirahoshi asked.

"I think it's in the corner. Look, our names are on there," Vivi replied.

"Good eyesight as ever, Vivi," Shirahoshi said while hugging Vivi's left arm.

Many students stared at them, and who knows what kind of fantasies they were imagining right now. When they got close, Kaya, Chopper, and Nami noticed them and stood up. They greeted each other like old friends, which eased the atmosphere again; however, no one dared to approach these beauties in the corner. Some were too busy daydreaming, while others were being stopped by their companions.

Luffy shouted, "Hey, where's the meat? I'm already hungry!"

Sabo, sitting beside him, replied, "Hey, Luffy, wait a bit more for the announcement."

Luffy let out a long moan and laid his head on the table. "I'm hungry!"

Ace laughed. "Hahaha! Look at you, Luffy, so weak!"

Smoker, seeing their interaction, scoffed. "Pathetic. Go back to the mountains and hunt your food, monkeys."

Luffy heard this and, struck by an idea, slammed his fist into his palm. "Oh! That's a great idea, Smokey!"

Ace laughed even harder, but Koala shook her head. "He's insulting you, Luffy, not giving you advice."

Sabo laughed too. Luffy, with wide eyes and an open mouth, yelled, "Whaaat?! You Smokey guy! Want a fight?" He stomped his feet on the table, looking at Smoker with an angry face.

Tashigi wasn't paying attention to the quarrel. Instead, she was looking at the Samurai Academy, where she saw one particular girl. It was like looking at herself, but without glasses. The girl, Kuina, was also looking at Tashigi. Their eyes met; there was no difference between them except for the eyewear. Their classmates noticed the strange reaction and followed their gaze. What they saw left them dumbfounded.

Zoro, with a confused face, asked, "Hey, Kuina, is that girl your lost sister or something?" Kuina didn't answer. Smoker also asked, "Hey, Tashigi, is that your sister?"

Tashigi remained silent, the look-alikes simply staring at one another.

"What a world," Trafalgar muttered. "Yeah, such things really do exist," Kiku added. "Hmm, they are not as beautiful as me," Cavendish huffed.

Then, Cavendish's eyes narrowed as he stared at the table of UA students. His gaze landed on a sparkling kid with a V-shaped mouth. Yuga Aoyama stared back at Cavendish. A rivalry was brewing in the wind, as if they were meant to fight each other. The UA students watched this "Prince Syndrome" staring contest happening before their eyes.

Hagakure said, "What? Another twinkling guy?" Tsuyu added, "Ribbit... what a mismatch."

Izuku kept muttering to himself, writing in his notebook at a speed that was impossible to explain. Ochako, sitting beside him, said, "Hey, calm down, Midoriya!"

"That is the real Quirk of Midoriya," Tenya said while flicking his glasses.

While all of them were chatting about their own business, another person entered the hall.

The rhythmic click-clack of high heels echoed against the marble floor, drawing every eye back to the entrance once more. A woman of supreme elegance stepped into the light, dressed in a white kimono adorned with delicate floral patterns. Her dark hair was swept up into a sophisticated bun, leaving a few soft bangs to frame her face. Her deep blue eyes, sharp and intelligent, scanned the room with a scholarly grace.

As she walked, her poise was undeniable—a perfect blend of maturity and allure that commanded immediate respect. This was Nico Robin. She didn't seem bothered by the hundreds of eyes tracking her every move; instead, she offered the room a small, knowing smile—a smile so captivating it seemed to leave a trail of breathless students in her wake.

She glided toward the round table in the corner, where the air was already thick with beauty and kindness.

"I'm sorry I'm late," Robin said, her voice smooth and melodic. "I am Nico Robin."

Vivi looked up, her eyes widening in recognition. "Oh, Nico? From Ohara? It's truly rare to see you attend something like this personally."

"Vivi Nefertari," Robin replied, her smile widening. "Princess of Alabasta. I have delivered my message to the leaders and will be joining the expedition for a mission of my own."

Shirahoshi clapped her hands together softly. "Ah, Robin-san! You too? Me too! I came here for a mission as well!"

Robin tilted her head, a playful glint in her eyes. "It seems we all know exactly which mission we are talking about."

The three women shared a gentle, mysterious laugh that left the boys at the nearby tables leaning in, desperately wishing they were part of the secret. Robin took her seat, gracefully joining the circle of Nami, Chopper, Kaya, Vivi, and Shirahoshi, and the group began a proper round of introductions.

The hall was a vibrant tapestry of noise—the clinking of silverware, the booming laughter of the Adventurers, the sharp bickering of the Marines, and the energetic chatter of the UA heroes. The tension of the morning's "Death Aura" had finally been replaced by the warmth of community.

Finally, Chef Zeff stepped onto the center stage, wiping his hands on his apron. He looked out at the five hundred students with a gruff, prideful expression.

"I welcome you all to have a taste of the Culinary Academy's finest!" Zeff shouted, his voice reaching every corner of the massive hall. "Please, be our guests and enjoy your meal! Don't leave a single scrap behind!"

The students responded in a thunderous, unified roar that shook the very foundation of the academy.

"ITADAKIMASU!"

As the lids were lifted from the platters, revealing steaming mountains of meat, seafood, and exotic delicacies, the Great Feast officially began.
