Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

"Hey~ Don't touch my ears~"

Wow, it looks so realistic!

The girl in pink even gently pinched it a couple of times before realizing something was wrong.

"Hey, Kaguya, come and touch it! It's still warm and fleshy, all fluffy, it feels so good to touch~"

The girl's companion, a beautiful girl with black hair, couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her back. "Chika, watch your manners. The donkey ears are fake. Didn't you see she has two other ears?"

This problem has actually troubled Shirou Emiya for many years.

If a beast-eared girl has four ears, then wouldn't that be like having four channels of audio?

However, he was too embarrassed to ask. He figured he'd find out when he found a girlfriend with four ears.

Moreover, through the characters' appearance and dialogue, he recognized who the two students were—wasn't it Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara?

These are the first and second people from the ordinary world to come to the store since it opened today.

Although their identities are anything but ordinary.

"Would you two like to eat something?"

Fujiwara Chika released her wicked hand and gave Amiya an apologetic smile: "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's the first time I've ever seen someone cosplay as a donkey."

"...fine."

Amiya no longer wanted to correct it.

What's the point of correcting it? If possible, I hope there are no donkeys in the world, so I won't be mistaken for one.

Amiya carefully observed the two girls and a question arose in her mind.

(They look like ordinary students, as if they've never experienced war or a virus, full of innocence. Where do they come from?)

Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at Amiya and said, "I'll pay for your meal as an apology."

"No, no need."

Amiya shook his head. He felt very uncomfortable with the way the girl looked at people, as if she were a natural-born superior, yet she also looked down on people.

"Hey, how about we grab a dessert together?"

Fujiwara Chika also extended an invitation, while looking at Emiya Shirou: "Are you the owner here? Can you make cakes and desserts?"

"Chika, are we really going to eat here?" Kaguya Shinomiya frowned slightly. She felt that although the restaurant was tastefully decorated, the owner was too young. Could a restaurant like this really provide excellent desserts?

"What's the big deal, Kaguya? You should enjoy a different kind of life every now and then, miss. If you don't mind, shall we go together?"

Amiya thought for a moment. Since they had already completed more than half of their work for the day, she figured it wouldn't hurt for her and the Doctor to take a break. Besides, Amiya also wanted to get to know these two students better.

"PhD?"

"Ah."

A voice, indistinguishable between male and female, came from under the mask, as if it had been processed by a voice changer, which also aroused Fujiwara Chika's curiosity.

"Are you cosplaying some game character? I don't usually play games, but your cosplay is really professional, especially your ears. Can I touch them again?"

Amiya quickly covered her ears: "Please stop touching them! My ears are real!"

"Huh?"—Fujiwara Chika's adorable smile froze.

"Huh?" — Kaguya Shinomiya wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

"So, I am a chimera, and my ears are natural!"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Chika Fujiwara and asked her question, "Chimera? Is it a monster from mythology? She seems really into her role."

Fujiwara Chika agreed, saying, "That's professionalism!"

Amiya sighed. "So, which remote region are you from?"

Emiya Shirou interrupted the three of them, who were talking at cross purposes, and asked, "What kind of dessert would you like to eat?"

"Tiramisu, and a cup of black tea, Darjeeling, please," Kaguya Shinomiya said calmly to Shirou Emiya. "You should have Darjeeling, right?"

"Don't worry, there is."

"Then I'd like a mousse cake," said Chika Fujiwara, indicating what she wanted to eat.

Amiya thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "We'd like two servings of grilled sandworm legs."

???

Young lady, please have something more sensible; this isn't dessert!

However, my restaurant is so amazing, it should be able to provide that, right?

"Yui, does the restaurant serve the sandworm that Amiya mentioned?"

"Manager, we have everything. It's just sandworms, right? The plumpest and freshest sandworm legs from Terra are already in the refrigerator for you."

Wow, you're really something, Yui!

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and prepare it for you right away."

Fujiwara Chika once again demonstrated her characteristic willingness to ask questions when she didn't understand, "Excuse me, manager, is this grilled sandworm leg your secret code?"

Amiya immediately corrected her: "No, this is a kind of insect unique to Terrat. Haven't you even heard of it? It's a world-famous local delicacy."

Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara exchanged glances once again.

Kaguya-sama: "Have you heard of it? Is it a snack that's very popular among ordinary people?"

Secretary Fujiwara: "I've never heard of that either. Why don't you ask Chairman Shirogane?"

Kaguya-sama: "There's no need to bother learning about this kind of common snack with crickets!"

Secretary Fujiwara: "You'll find out when the boss serves the food. I'm quite curious."

After exchanging glances, the two looked away. Fujiwara Chika continued to talk to Amiya: "You guys must have had a tough time cosplaying, right? It's so hot, you're really dedicated."

"No, isn't it very cold outside?"

Amiya suspected they were from a completely different world. Before she and the Doctor entered, the temperature had been very low, only a few degrees Celsius. Why were these two dressed so lightly?

Could she be a girl from Ursus? I've heard that people from that region are very resistant to the cold.

"How is the situation in the Ursus Empire right now? You're students too, right?"

"The Ursus Empire? Where is this?" Kaguya Shinomiya was completely bewildered by the new vocabulary that Amiya kept throwing out.

"Huh? The Ursus Empire? You don't even know that?" Amiya was stunned. My God, where on earth did this person come from?

"No, there is no such country as Ursus in this world. You mean the fictional country in the world of the character you are playing?" Fujiwara Chika was also a little confused. So dedicated? This is probably what cosplay is all about. Even in his spare time, he doesn't forget the character he is playing.

Next time, I must suggest to the president that we hold a comic convention at school!

"??? How could this be fictional? It's located in the north, it's very large, very cold, and the people are quite fierce," Amiya tried to explain.

"Okay, okay! I understand!"

"I know too."

The two girls suddenly realized, "They're talking about Russia!"

The quality seems to be poor lately, which is frustrating, but I will try my best to improve it!

thanks for your support!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Let her go, let me handle this!

Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara addressed him as "boss".

See, this is what professionalism is?

That's what you call professional, a perfect cosplay, complete with an aged look (although neither of them knew what an aged look was), and they even took the time to recommend the game (or anime?) setting to passersby.

Amiya internally screamed, "What new prank are these two women up to?"

What do you know? You know nothing!

Amiya looked left and right, her gaze drawn to a book on the bookshelf to her right.

"A Record of Customs and Scenery from Around the World"?

Ami got up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, and returned to her seat. She was shocked when she opened the first page.

"Where is Ursus? Where is my hometown Rembiton? Where is Colombia? Where is Victoria? Only this China looks like Yan Country? Doctor, this is terrible, it seems we've arrived in an incredible place!"

Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at Amiya, who looked utterly astonished, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's so amazing?"

Amiya pointed at Kaguya Shinomiya and asked, "What country are you from?"

Kaguya Shinomiya found it even stranger. "You're speaking Japanese too—well, come to think of it, is this girl really speaking Japanese? Why aren't her lip movements matching?"

"Chika, I think I've discovered something incredible!"

"What?" Fujiwara Chika's attention had been drawn to a small white animal that flashed by. It looked cute and was different from the small animals she usually saw. Unfortunately, it was too fast, and she couldn't see it clearly.

"Kaguya, did you just see that?"

"What did you see? Or rather, did you just see that their lip movements and speech didn't match?"

The two sat together whispering, while Amiya and the Doctor at the next table watched with growing unease.

Is this some kind of April Fool's joke? Why can I understand every single word in this book, but when they're put together, I can't understand them at all?

"Doctor, look, this book doesn't seem fake. It's beautifully made and the content is very detailed. What's going on?"

“There must be something fishy going on here,” the doctor’s androgynous voice came through the mask. “It’s possible this is a new tactic by the Reunion Movement.”

Amiya suddenly realized: "Could this be the ultimate goal of the Reunion Movement? The hope for world peace!?"

The doctor nodded solemnly: "Judging from this book, it seems so. The owner of this store, and even the staff, are very likely members of the Reunion Movement. Of course, it is also possible that they have been brainwashed by the Reunion Movement."

"Should we just wait and see?" Amiya asked nervously, glancing towards the kitchen.

"We must not act rashly. We never expected that the Reunion Movement's spies had already infiltrated Rhodes Island!"

The doctor and Amiya were filled with anger and resentment; what a disgrace this was!

On the other side, Kaguya Shinomiya leaned close to Chika Fujiwara's ear with a serious expression and whispered, "See? Their lip movements and their voices don't match at all, but we can still understand them!"

Fujiwara Chika looked at Amiya and the Doctor with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at Shinomiya Kaguya. "So what? Maybe it's just their professional cosplay?"

Just then, Yu Meiren came over carrying desserts and grilled sandworm legs for the four of them. "Your meal is ready, please enjoy."

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly asked, "What language are you speaking?"

Yu Meiren looked at her like she was an idiot: "Qin language, what's wrong?"

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately clapped her hands and said to Chika Fujiwara, "Look, what they're saying isn't Japanese at all! But we can understand it!"

Yu Meiren looked on with a puzzled expression. "Don't you also speak the Qin language?"

"Does 'Da Qin' refer to the Qin Dynasty in China? Or is there a place in China called Da Qin?" Fujiwara Chika still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Kaguya Shinomiya found it very strange; there was something wrong with this restaurant. Then, she glanced at the sandworm legs on Amiya's table and immediately covered her mouth.

"Ugh~ What is this?!"

Amiya picked up a sandworm leg and chewed slowly, saying, "This is roasted very well, and the meat is very tender. How can sandworm meat be so tender? The owner of this restaurant is very skilled. It's a pity that he is a member of the Reunion Movement. Sigh."

Kaguya Shinomiya's face turned pale, but the two of them ate it without changing their expressions!

"Want some?" Amiya asked, pointing to the sandworm legs.

"do not want!"

Kaguya Shinomiya not only couldn't eat, she even lost her appetite for the tiramisu in front of her. She increasingly felt that this restaurant was strange. Could this cake have used some kind of weird and unusual ingredient?!

A scene like this appeared in the girl's mind.

With a sinister grin, Shirou Emiya grabbed a huge, white, wriggling worm covered in tentacles and threw it alive into the frying pan.

Yu Meiren was drawing blood from someone with a knife, the blood gushing into a teapot. Emiya Shirou added a large amount of sleeping pills and sugar, then stirred it well.

Then the two of them threw an unimaginable lump of dough into the oven, and when they took it out, it turned into the cake in front of them.

"Ugh~ Chika, let's go!"

But Chika Fujiwara stared intently at a corner of the restaurant.

There stood the little white creature she had just seen, fluffy and resembling both a cat and a squirrel—it was incredibly cute.

"Hey, little one~", Fujiwara Chika scooped up a spoonful of mousse cake and waved to Fou.
