Since Puffer Whales were a delicacy that could only be enjoyed once every ten years, Saku Hayashi directly invited the chat group members to visit.
Puffer Whales didn’t completely disappear during the ten-year gap, but no one was willing to waste their time searching the entire world for them.
“Wow!
So this is the Group Leader’s home?
It’s even bigger than the Golden Courtyard!” Elysia exclaimed.
The grounds surrounding Saku Hayashi’s house were as large as several football fields.
Without looking carefully, she could barely see the wooden fence in the distance.
“No one lives in this area, and it’s also in the wilderness, so the land was extremely cheap,” Saku Hayashi explained with a faint smile.
Compared to the Earth from before his transmigration, this planet’s size had expanded 659-fold because of Gourmet Cells.
As a result, its landmass was enormous.
Even within the Human World, there were still many regions completely untouched by humans.
Land in the wilderness was exceptionally cheap because wild creatures roamed freely there.
Anyone without enough strength could easily become a meal for one of those beasts.
“A world without cursed energy… Since this planet is so large, shouldn’t its gravity be several times stronger than an ordinary Earth’s?” Gojo Satoru asked.
He hopped a few times but didn’t notice anything unusual.
“That’s because of one of the chat group’s functions.
You can disable its protection yourself if you want to experience this world’s real gravity,” Saku Hayashi explained.
Many ordinary people in this world had never awakened their Gourmet Cells.
However, simply being capable of living normally under this gravity meant that if they were placed in Saku Hayashi’s original world, most of them could become elite athletes.
“Of course, you should deactivate your Limitless first.” Gojo Satoru considered it briefly before deactivating his constantly active Limitless and removing the chat group’s protection.
Thud!
“This gravity…” Gojo Satoru was immediately crushed to the ground.
A trace of fresh blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.
Although the gravity wasn’t hundreds of times stronger than normal, it was still terrifying.
His body couldn’t adapt to it immediately.
The inhabitants of this world had already adapted to such gravity, so it didn’t restrict their everyday movements.
Alice and Elysia had no intention of trying it themselves.
Their bodies were even weaker than Gojo Satoru’s.
If they experienced that pressure, they might be flattened into Alice paste and Elysia paste.
“Kevin, do you have the Judgment of Shamash with you?
Let me use it as a barbecue grill,” Saku Hayashi said.
“A barbecue grill?” Kevin froze.
Why would a weapon like the Judgment of Shamash have anything to do with a barbecue grill?
“It’s currently with one of my Kaslana descendants.
I never took it back,” Kevin replied, shaking his head.
“To me, the Judgment of Shamash is merely a weapon.
It can enhance my strength, but that doesn’t mean I’m powerless without it.” “Still, what did you mean by using it as a barbecue grill?” “You don’t know?
Right, the Judgment of Shamash should currently be with Siegfried.
He uses the twin pistols to release flames for toasting bread and baking pizza.” Kevin fell silent.
As the weapon’s original wielder, he had complicated feelings upon hearing how his descendant used the Judgment of Shamash.
A God Key forged from a Herrscher Core was actually being used for such trivial matters.
If the Judgment of Shamash possessed intelligence, it would probably be crying.
Still, he was no longer its wielder.
Siegfried could use it however he wished.
Kevin had no interest in interfering.
“Tsurara, you should do it yourself.
I can’t cut through it.” Alice had tried cutting into a Puffer Whale under Tsurara’s guidance, but she lacked physical strength.
Her usual specialty was molecular gastronomy, so she had rarely trained her knife skills or body.
Although she managed to cut slightly into the Puffer Whale, moving the blade through its flesh consumed an enormous amount of stamina.
Alice understood her limits.
There was no way she could prepare such a fantastical ingredient herself.
“Physical stamina determines a chef’s baseline.
Without sufficient stamina, a chef will face many limitations.
Alice, you should start taking your physical training more seriously,” Tsurara advised earnestly.
“Although molecular gastronomy doesn’t demand knife skills, wok tossing, and other traditional techniques as much as most culinary styles, I’m sure you’re interested in cooking styles beyond molecular gastronomy, aren’t you?” She could tell that Alice was highly skilled in molecular gastronomy but lacked some of a chef’s basic foundations.
“Hehe…” Alice awkwardly scratched her head.
Physical stamina was indeed one of her weaknesses.
“Group Leader, your sofa is so soft!
It feels like I’m sitting on cotton candy,” Elysia said, stroking the cloud-like sofa.
It was even softer than her large bed.
“That’s because it really is cotton candy.
The sofa was made using cotton candy harvested from Cotton Candy Trees.
Pick a spot you don’t mind damaging and take a bite,” Saku Hayashi said with a smile.
Some of the furniture in his home was made from candy ingredients.
However, unlike Toriko’s home, his entire house wasn’t constructed from edible ingredients.
A full candy house had practically no durability and would quickly become damaged for all sorts of reasons.
“Mmm…” “It’s so sweet♪ It really is cotton candy!” Elysia tore a piece from the back of the sofa and placed it in her mouth.
It melted instantly, filling her mouth with a sweet and mellow flavor.
Her blue eyes lit up slightly.
“Furniture made from candy… It’s like something from a fairy tale♪” Elysia remarked.
“This is nothing.
Toriko’s entire home is a candy house.
He can take a bite no matter where he goes,” Saku Hayashi said, spreading his hands.
Compared to Toriko’s house, his candy furniture paled into insignificance.
Elysia was left speechless.
Toriko actually had an entire candy house.
He certainly knew how to enjoy himself.
If she wanted, Eden possessed enough wealth to build a candy house.
However, that would be far too extravagant and wasteful.
In Saku Hayashi’s world, however, edible ingredients were practically inexhaustible.
A person could simply wander around the wilderness and eat until they were completely full.
“All right, the Puffer Whale dishes are ready.
Please enjoy.” Tsurara carried over the prepared Puffer Whale dishes.
Since they were Saku Hayashi’s friends, she naturally intended to treat them well.
She also brought out wine brewed from Rainbow Fruit.
“Tsurara, you’re incredibly capable and considerate.
You’d make such a wonderful wife,” Elysia praised with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration.
“I’m a chef.
This is only natural.” Tsurara didn’t know Elysia well yet, so she couldn’t understand why the pink-haired girl was staring at her with such intense enthusiasm.
“Tsurara, you should be careful.
This pink-haired girl likes other girls,” Saku Hayashi said calmly.
“Huh?” Tsurara froze and stared uncertainly at Elysia.
She was such a beautiful girl that even Tsurara couldn’t resist looking at her a few more times.
But now she had discovered that Elysia liked women.
How was she supposed to react to that?
Alice also stared at Elysia in surprise.
From their conversations, she had learned that Elysia was an extremely warm and friendly girl.
However, she hadn’t expected her to possess that kind of preference.
“I knew it,” Natsuki Minamiya muttered.
She and Elysia had joined the group at the same time, and Elysia had been “harassing” her for quite a while.
Naturally, she had already developed some suspicions.
“That’s not true!
There’s nothing strange about deepening my relationship with cute girls!” Elysia hurriedly tried to explain.
