I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

As the fish offal of the sea eel sizzled on the charcoal grill, Elodie and the others, who were preparing to grill the sea eel, couldn't help but smell a delicious aroma. This stomach-rumbling fragrance was indeed very tempting.

After placing the grilled fish offal into the pot, Yuhaka added Japanese rice wine, mirin, and dark soy sauce in a 1:1:1 ratio, and finally added white sugar before starting to cook. Because of the addition of fish offal, the sauce became more flavorful, like a well-preserved broth.

After boiling the sauce, Yuhaka also reduced the heat to medium-low and simmered it until it was reduced by about half and had a slightly sticky consistency when scooped up. Then, Yuhaka filtered the sauce to remove any unwanted fish offal. After the sauce cooled, it became thicker.

After the sauce was cooked, the others began preparing the grilled eel.

The method for grilling sea eel at Yuhaka involves first grilling, then steaming, and finally grilling it again while soaking it in sauce.

When the sea eel meat that Yuhaka and the others were grilling started to ooze juices, Yuhaka had them put the grilled sea eel meat into a steamer to steam for a while. After that, Yuhaka soaked the steamed sea eel meat in the sauce she had prepared earlier, and then put it on the charcoal grill to continue grilling.

Watching the sea eel sizzle on the charcoal grill, the juices and sauces seeping from the sea eel dripping onto the charcoal below, releasing a unique aroma, was enough to make Javelin and the others drool. However, out of consideration for their ladylike image, Javelin and the others held back from drooling. Elodie, Laffey, and Ayanami, on the other hand, couldn't hold back at all, and drool was dripping from the corners of their mouths. They only wiped it away when they realized what was happening.

Yuhaka puts the sea eel, which has been grilled for a while, back into the sauce and grills it again. The grilled sea eel is then ready to be served.

Looking at the smooth, ruby-like glossy sea-patterned eel meat before them, everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard. Although some parts looked slightly burnt, there weren't many burnt areas, so it wouldn't have a significant impact on the taste and texture.

After placing the grilled eel on top of the rice in a square bento box drizzled with sauce, Yuhaka finished making the grilled eel rice bowl.

After preparing the grilled eel rice bowl, Yuhaka called everyone home to eat. Kiana and the others, who were conducting investigations outside, returned to Yuhaka's imaginary space.

After everyone returned, Yuhaka placed the prepared grilled eel rice bowl in front of them. Looking at the grilled eel rice bowl in front of them, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Seeing the entire box of grilled eel in front of them, everyone felt their mouths watering more quickly.

After everyone arrived, we started eating. In addition to the grilled eel rice bowl, Yuhaka also prepared some seasonings for everyone to use.

Yuhaka sprinkled some sansho pepper and chopped green onions on his grilled eel rice bowl to add some seasoning. Then, Yuhaka used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the grilled eel and put it in his mouth. The succulent sea eel was not greasy at all. Because it was steamed, the sea eel meat became soft and tender, while the eel skin maintained a slightly chewy texture, which added a few layers of texture to the eel meat.

The aroma of charcoal and the natural oily fragrance of the sea eel create a refreshing sensation.

Because of the use of kabayaki sauce, the grilled eel also has a salty and sweet flavor, and it doesn't feel greasy at all.

Yuhaka also thought the grilled eel rice bowl was quite good, but the only downside was that there wasn't enough sea eel. After all, sea eel farming is still in its early stages, and the number of sea eels available is limited. If they were all eaten, they would be gone very quickly.

Feeling a little regretful, Yuhaka picked up a large piece of grilled eel and put it in his mouth to chew. At that moment, along with the sound of chopsticks being put on the table, Yuhaka heard someone say that they were full.

"oO?!"

Yuhaka looked at his less than half-eaten eel rice bowl and seemed surprised that someone could eat faster than him. Of course, Yuhaka was also slowly savoring the eel rice bowl. If Yuhaka really opened his appetite, several boxes of eel rice bowls wouldn't be enough for him.

As everyone's gaze fell upon her, they could see that Kiana was the first to finish her meal. Looking at Kiana's departing figure and the completely empty lunchbox she had eaten, everyone wore puzzled expressions. Although Kiana seemed a little sullen, her appetite didn't seem to have diminished at all.

Everyone who witnessed this was quite puzzled. Elaina, who was standing nearby, asked Raiden Mei:

"Miss Mei, what's wrong with Miss Kiana? She seems a little down."

When asked about Elena's question, Raiden Mei seemed to open her mouth as if she wanted to say something. After some internal thought, she told everyone that they had revealed Kiana's identity.

Volume 1 [The Lazy Person's Guide to Chapters]: Chapter 1380 [The Scenic Spot with Problems]

After hearing Raiden Mei's explanation, everyone present understood why Kiana looked so sullen. Well... although she was sullen, at least her appetite was still good.

According to Raiden Mei, Kiana became very emotionally unstable after learning about her background. Fortunately, Raiden Mei and Banya were by her side, so Kiana wouldn't have an emotional breakdown after learning about it.

However, the current situation doesn't seem too good, but it's at least within a controllable range. However, Kiana's current mental state is still unknown to Raiden Mei and the others.

Upon hearing about Kiana's current situation, Yuhaka and the others fell silent. Kurumi Tokisaki, standing nearby, looked at Mei and the others and asked:

"So, do you need to rest for a while?"

Raiden Mei hesitated for a moment before shaking her head at Tokisaki Kurumi's suggestion, saying that the current situation was not suitable for Kiana to rest alone, and that Kiana needed something to distract her.

After hearing Raiden Mei's explanation, Tokisaki Kurumi nodded in understanding. However, even so, Tokisaki Kurumi still asked Raiden Mei and Bonya to keep a close eye on Kiana to prevent any problems from happening to her. After all, if Kiana were to become the Herrscher of the Void, then apart from Ehaka, it would be very difficult for anyone present to catch the Herrscher of the Void with the Imaginary Element ability.

In Kiana's room, Kiana lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her expression serious, as if she were thinking about something.

Kiana is currently thinking about her origins. To be honest, when she heard about her origins from Bonya, Kiana felt a sense of disbelief. After all, she never imagined that she wasn't her parents' real child, but just a cloned experimental subject in the Herrscher project.

This made Kiana feel very desperate, but fortunately she had Raiden Mei and Bonya by her side, which prevented her from falling into despair. However, this still made Kiana feel very sad and conflicted.

Why would my dad give me the exact same name as Kiana?! Shouldn't I have gotten a new name?! What is the real Kiana supposed to do?!

Thinking about all this, Kiana couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, after learning the truth, Kiana didn't know what to do.

Of course, Kiana tried calling out to the Herrscher of the Void in her mind several times, but there was no response. Kiana then tried cursing at her, but there was still no response. It seemed that the Herrscher of the Void had not woken up, which relieved Kiana. At least Kiana knew that the Herrscher of the Void showed no signs of waking up.

But no matter what, Kiana would never let the Herrscher of the Void wake up. With that thought in mind, Kiana turned over and buried her face under the pillow, as if she were playing dead.

...............After lunch...............

After everyone finished eating the grilled eel rice bowl made by Yuhaka, they couldn't help but pat their bellies. Although each person only received one serving of grilled eel rice bowl made from a whole sea eel, it was enough for the girls present.

Aside from big eaters like Yohaka.

Even though they were full, everyone present couldn't help but want another serving, but they decided against it, since eating too much wasn't a good idea.

After everyone finished lunch, they began to rest and do their own activities. Honjou Nia had specifically investigated today and found that there was no dimensional invasion incident. Honjou Nia told everyone that they could rest or go play. Hearing Honjou Nia's words, everyone went to rest for a while and relax. To be honest, it is normal to rest well after a battle.

But it was at this time that Kurumi Tokisaki received a message from the ACGN Investigation Bureau, saying that a strange phenomenon had occurred in a certain scenic area, like being trapped in a maze, with the number of people who came and went in the same way. At first, the tourists there did not notice anything wrong, until the number of people increased, and some of them noticed the problem and informed the scenic area management. At first, the scenic area management also regarded the report as a prank, until the number of people increased, and then the scenic area management realized that something was wrong.

The information on the internet was also noticed by the ACGN Investigation Bureau, so they went to the location of the scenic spot to investigate. Indeed, there were strange phenomena in the scenic spot. Even when drones and other machinery came over, they couldn't find anything wrong.

Therefore, the ACGN Investigation Bureau also sought help from Yuhaka and her group.

Looking at the messages on her communicator, Kurumi Tokisaki turned to Nia Honjou, who was stretching, and said:

"Miss Niya, there's a problem again. Please confirm if your 'whispering' text is a dimensional invasion?"

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou, who was stretching, was stunned. She was clearly not expecting that there would be another problem on the other side of the world. This made Nia Honjou wonder if it was a new dimensional invasion.

Thinking of all this, Honjou Nia took out her Confessions to investigate, but found nothing. Seeing this, Honjou Nia and Tokisaki Kurumi realized that the problem of the Shadow Servants, which had occurred before, had happened again.

Although Honjou Nia tried to investigate who was behind this, unfortunately, the results she found were still garbled text that obscured important information. This made Honjou Nia feel a sense of grief and indignation. Who the hell was targeting her?!

Regardless, this time, Tokisaki Kurumi, along with Yuhaka, Elodie, and Irena, arrived at the entrance of a scenic spot in China. What was originally a bustling scene of crowds at the entrance of the scenic spot has now been separated by various police tapes. The staff of the ACGN Investigation Bureau had already evacuated the tourists who came to visit.

After all, if something were to happen to so many people, it would be a huge problem.

After Yuhaka and the others arrived, someone quickly came to meet them.

"Thank you for coming to help, Ms. Kurumi, Ms. Yuuyu, Ms. Elodie, Ms. Elena, Ms. Miyu. Please come with me. I will tell you what happened here on the way."

The ACGN Investigation Bureau members greeted Yuhaka and the others, then led them around and explained what had happened.

According to a report discovered by the ACGN Investigation Bureau, the entire scenic area is surrounded by an unknown force, causing people who try to enter the area to return the way they came, as if they were trapped in a maze. Moreover, these people did not notice anything unusual, except for those tourists with better observation skills who noticed something amiss from a distance.

At the same time, electronic instruments here will be slightly affected, but not seriously, and the compass will also rotate continuously as if it were being interfered with by a magnetic field.

It looked very eerie, as if a paranormal event had occurred. Moreover, there were large patches of dark clouds in the sky above the scenic area, while the rest of the area had a clear blue sky with white clouds, making it stand out even more.

Upon seeing this scene, Yuhaka and the others instinctively felt that something was amiss.

Volume 1 [The Lazy Chapter]: Chapter 1381 [Division of Labor and Exploration]

Led by members of the ACGN Investigation Bureau, Yuhaka and her group arrived at the location where the "ghost wall" phenomenon would occur in the scenic area. It was a wide open space behind the entrance of the scenic area, which was cordoned off with two police tapes.

Upon arriving here, Tokisaki Kurumi felt a strange sensation in the area in front of her. Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary, Tokisaki Kurumi instinctively felt an inexplicable sense of unease about the place in front of her.

Kurumi Tokisaki turned to Elaina and the others beside her and asked:

"Miss Elodie, have you seen or sensed anything unusual?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Elena and Miyu Sakuzuki shook their heads, seemingly unable to sense anything amiss. However, Elodie and Sapphire, standing nearby, nodded, as if they sensed something. Yuhaka's eyes also directly saw something resembling an energy field enveloping the area.

After seeing everyone's answers, Kurumi Tokisaki, puzzled by this strange phenomenon, asked:

"Was this caused by some kind of magic?"

Regarding the question about Tokisaki Kurumi, Elodie looked at her with a puzzled expression, while Elena scratched her head and said:

"I don't know about that. There's no magical reaction at all, which is really strange."

Sapphire, who was standing nearby, also offered an explanation for Elaina's question:

"Indeed, there is no problem with magic in this place, but the spatial structure here is similar to a mirror space, which is quite surprising!"

Upon hearing that the mirror space Sapphire mentioned was also one of the mirror spaces in "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" that imprisoned Heroic Spirits, Kurumi Tokisaki looked in the direction before her and said:

"So, does that mean there's a Shadow Servant from your world here?"

Regarding the question about Kurumi Tokisaki, Sapphire shook her head, indicating that she didn't know and said:

"I'm not entirely sure about that, but although this space looks very similar to the mirror space, our mirror space doesn't seem to reject other people from entering, and I've never tested such a peculiar space before."

"So, Miss Sapphire, you have no way to open this mysterious space?"

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Sapphire nodded and said:

"Yes, if I had a little time to analyze it, I might be able to find a way to open this space."

Just as Sapphire finished speaking, Kurumi Tokisaki and the others heard a sound like something being torn apart. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Yhaka tearing a large hole in an invisible wall. Yhaka himself turned his head and looked at them, swishing his large tail as if he were asking for credit.

Seeing this, Kurumi Tokisaki covered her cheek with one hand and said with a helpless expression:

"Oh my gosh~ Miss Sapphire, it seems our Yu-Yu-chan already has a plan~"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Sapphire fell silent. Clearly, Sapphire hadn't expected Yuhaka to tear a large hole in this space with his bare hands.

Although Sapphire had witnessed Yhaka's ability to open up the imaginary space with his hands before, Sapphire was still quite surprised to see Yhaka tear open the spatial wall of this strange space again.

.................................. ...............................

After Yuhaka opened the passage to this strange space, Yuhaka and the others split into two groups. One group was responsible for exploring the interior of the strange space, while the other group waited outside to prevent any accidents from happening.

After Tokisaki Kurumi left her clones with Yuhaka and Elodie, Tokisaki Kurumi, along with Elena, Sakuzuki Miyu, and others, took charge of the outer perimeter work, at least to prevent any unexpected events, such as strange things emerging from the strange space.

After preparing, Yuhaka, along with Kurumi Tokisaki's clone and Elodie, entered the strange space. Seeing the passage Yuhaka had torn open gradually reopen, Kurumi Tokisaki said to Elaina and the others:

"Alright, let's leave the internal situation to Youyou and the others. Let's investigate the external situation."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Elena and Miyu Sakuzuki nodded in understanding.

Inside the strange space, Yuhaka and the others were puzzled by the gloomy weather. If it was just a simple overcast day outside, the overcast weather here felt like nighttime, just like the strange weather in those horror movies.

"Hmm... the weather here seems completely different from outside. What's going on?"

Kurumi Tokisaki's clone said this while stroking Yuhaka's beast ears, and Yuhaka, whose ears were being stroked by Kurumi's clone, squinted and made whimpering sounds. Elodie, standing to the side, looked around curiously and said to Kurumi's clone and Yuhaka:

"This place has magic."

Upon hearing Elodie's words, Kurumi Tokisaki's clone stopped what it was doing and looked at Elodie with some confusion, asking:

"Magic? Miss Elodie, you're saying this place has magic?"

In response to Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Elodie nodded, and Yuhaka also nodded and said:

"Hmm, the magic is plentiful, and it smells a little stinky, OO?"

Upon hearing the words of the two experts who could sense magical energy, Kurumi Tokisaki's clone pondered and said:
