A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Noticing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly harmonious, the girls around them also started chatting quietly.

"Miss Hestia..."

Saeko Busujima suddenly whispered

"Is Miss Demeter's cooking the best in Orario?"

"I don't really know about that, but I'm sure she's studied it specifically and won over Chen Haijun's stomach right away."

And next door—

Miyamoto Rei bit her fork

"That goddess really did a great job this time..."

Saya Takagi next to her adjusted her glasses.

"Food is indeed a great way to build relationships, but I'm completely bad at it."

Seeing this, Shizuka Marikawa, one of the "older women" in the group, smiled.

"Young people have a lot of ideas..."

"Actually, Professor Marikawa is quite young, isn't he? And... Saya, don't overthink this meal."

After responding to Shizuka Marikawa, Yuriko Takashiro turned her gaze to her daughter.

However, even so—

Whenever Chen Hai and Demeter smiled at each other, the other girls' eyes would change slightly.

“This bread is delicious.”

Milim suddenly spoke up, then turned to Demeter and continued praising her.

"The crust is crispy and the inside is soft. How do you do that? It's so much better than any bread I've ever had before!"

"Thank you."

Hearing the praise, Demeter smiled gently and said...

"It's mainly a matter of controlling the heat."

"Cooking time... I've never cooked before, I know absolutely nothing about it."

So Milim took the bread and asked Chen Hai...

"Does Chen Hai like it?"

"It would be good for making breakfast sandwiches."

"So you like it?"

"kindness."

"Demeter! Demeter! Teach me how to do this!"

Upon hearing Chen Hai's 'like', Milim immediately became interested.

Even the Demon King wanted to learn how to cook...

Seeing this, Hestia also stood up.

"As for studying... I'd like to give it a try too."

"Then count me in."

"Izawa Shizue said earnestly."

Saeko Busujima then joined the conversation, emphasizing as she put down her chopsticks.

"I can prepare Japanese food for Mr. Chen Hai..."

Are we all going to learn how to cook?

Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi exchanged a glance, both having the same thought.

Despite what was happening before their eyes, Shizuka Marikawa and Yuriko Takashiro remained remarkably calm.

Having long been accustomed to cooking, the 617 women have the composure to remain calm.

At that moment, Demeter suddenly spoke.

"If everyone is interested..."

Demeter scanned the scene

"I believe that food is only meaningful when shared, so... how about we all learn to cook together next time?"

"Indeed."

Chen Hai was the first to agree.

This is to avoid future disputes.

And so, the new plan was finalized.

After discussing these matters, Demeter asked another question that the girls were all very interested in.

"After finishing up your recent busy schedule, what are you planning to do next, Lord Chenhai?"

"The future plans... should be to strengthen and optimize the 'dungeon exploration' process."

"It feels like it will take a lot of time."

"It won't be long before we mainly need to arrange a new group of 'dungeon explorers,' numbering around a million."

"million?"

Demeter was stunned.

She rarely hears such words in her daily life.

Generally speaking, "million" is used to describe money, not...number of people.

"Where did all these people come from?"

Milim looked on with curiosity.

"The world I've been to before."

Chen Hai said with a smile

"The soldiers there are all my 'workers'."

The million-strong army in the Apocalypse dimension is the new 'Dungeon Explorer' and a new source of experience points.

Labyrinth city Orario.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Chen Hai sat around a table with Milim, Shizue Izawa, Hestia, Saeko Busujima, and others, enjoying an exquisite afternoon tea specially prepared by the goddess Demeter.

Rei Miyamoto, Saya Takagi, Yuriko Takagi, and Shizuka Marikawa, who had dined together earlier, were also present and began to enjoy the desserts in front of them.

"Mr. Chenhai, this tea is really good."

Saya Takagi adjusted her glasses and then took a sip.

"Yes, it's so much better than the coarse tea I used to drink!"

Rei Miyamoto ate the cake with gusto, her face beaming with happiness.

Milim, meanwhile, was holding a chocolate tart in one hand and a cookie in the other, her mouth stuffed full.

"Hmm... Orario's food is really good, we could bring it into our world!"

"It would be exciting to see different cuisines from different worlds brought together."

Shizue Izawa strongly agreed with this.

Chen Hai smiled and nodded, about to speak—

Suddenly, he sensed an unusual aura.

It's not the only dimension from "DanMachi," but rather the world from "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime," which I left not long ago.

The 'Chenhai Federation' that I founded is now facing a troublesome guy.

"What's wrong, Mr. Chenhai?"

Saeko Busujima keenly noticed his change.

"An enemy has appeared."

Chen Hai slowly stood up, his gaze falling on Milim.

He then added

"He has some strength; he's most likely a demon king from that world."

"Demon King?!"

Milim swallowed the food instantly, her expression turning serious.

"Who dares to touch our territory?!"

"Is this your territory too?"

"Chenhai's territory is my territory! Don't be shy!"

"You've really helped a lot..."

Chen Hai didn't completely deny it, because with Milim's cooperation, many problems could be avoided, that much is undeniable.

This proves that the 'problem' this time is not a minor one.

So Chen Hai drank the tea in front of him.

"I'll go back and take a look."

"Please let me accompany you."

Seeing this, Saeko Busujima stood up as well.

"Count me in!"

Rei Miyamoto chimed in agreement.

"We want to be with Chenhai-jun!"

Saya Takagi, Yuriko Takagi, and Shizuka Marikawa also spoke in unison.

Since we had just met, neither of us wanted to part ways so soon.

Hestia swallowed the pastry in her mouth and ran to him.

"Chenhai's country...I also want to go and see it."

Looking at the group of girls in front of him who were unwilling to part, Chen Hai considered it for a moment.

Taking them to the world of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" wouldn't be a problem...

So Chen Hai nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go see it."

Since their levels increased quickly and they had enough energy to sustain themselves, Chen Hai immediately led the women to activate the teleportation.

The power spanning two worlds and two dimensions instantly engulfed the scene.

In less than a second, the scene before everyone's eyes changed.

What was originally the tea house of the Demeter family is now a sea of ​​trees with villages and buildings.

However, the current forest is rather chaotic.

Flames burned on the perimeter, preventing residents of the 'Chenhai Federation' from freely entering and leaving.

"This is another world..."
