Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

The blond youth frowned. He realized that things were not so simple, as if something in the dark had urged him to enter the restaurant.

So he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's the deal with your restaurant?"

"Oh? What did the guest notice?" Emiya Shirou asked with interest.

Meluet quietly put down her comic book and carefully looked at the young man.

“This restaurant wasn’t there half an hour before I went out to collect evidence. I also work at the police station and I’m familiar with the people in the area, but I have no recollection of the owner or the staff.”

First of all, the size and decoration of your restaurant couldn't possibly have been completed in half an hour. Secondly, this isn't an area where Asians congregate, so it's strange that all your customers and staff are Asian.

Finally, the central city's economic development has been slow in recent years, and its enthusiasm for Asian cuisine is not high, so merchants are more inclined to develop in the nearby Wedge City.

Therefore, this restaurant is strange, unnatural from head to toe, and it even tries to entice customers to enter and spend money.

Emiya Shirou nodded. As expected of an expert in forensic technology, his analysis, honed from years spent at the police station, was remarkably insightful.

"Barry Allen, or should I call you The Flash? A forensic scientist from Central City, who, in another accidental lightning strike, was splashed with chemical reagents and gained the Speed ​​Force, becoming a superhero."

Welcome to my restaurant, Grand Cooker, the central point of all universes, where you can meet many guests from other universes.

Let me think... Is your father still in prison? Have you joined the Justice League? Are you married to Alice West?

Barry Allen looked surprised. He knew his father was in prison, which was easy to investigate; he knew he was a forensic expert; and he knew this as well as when he went into the police station.

But he knows he's the Flash, knows the name and origin of his abilities, even knows about the Justice League? And he even knows she likes Alice West?

This is something no ordinary person could do, right? Could he be a superhero?

Furthermore, the midpoint of all universes? This shouldn't refer to the multiverse, right? Does it refer to a new universe completely different from our current one?

Before Barry Allen could fully consider his words, Shirou Emiya continued, "Therefore, you don't need to worry that we'll try to rob or kill you. What would we be after? Please enjoy your meal in peace."

These words immediately shut up Xiao Shan. He had originally wanted to question loudly, but he was a smart man, and his intuition told him that Shirou Emiya had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Emiya Shirou said, "Speaking of which, has the guest's father been released from prison?"

Upon hearing this topic, a shadow crossed Xiao Shan's face. He took a small bite of the beef burger made by Shirou Emiya and was immediately drawn to its deliciousness.

He wolfed down the hamburger in a few bites, then gulped down half a bottle of cola before saying, "The boss is indeed well-informed. It's very difficult for my father to get out of prison now because the murderer has not been found."

Emiya Shirou nodded. This meant that Flash might not have the Cosmic Treadmill yet, or he might not know what Reverse-Flash had done. Otherwise, he would definitely know who killed his mother, causing his father to be wrongfully imprisoned.

No, he might just be a newcomer and not even know who Reverse Flash is.

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to ask further questions, Flash suddenly said, "You said your restaurant is connected to various universes. Can you prove it to me? What principle do you use?"

“Sorry, I don’t know either. Just like you can’t explain your Speed ​​Force, my restaurant is more complicated than the Speed ​​Force. But I can prove it to you.” Shirou Emiya pointed to the two members of the A Certain Magical Index who were wolfing down their food.

This is truly a case of searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

We were still struggling with how to rescue the remaining 10,000-plus girls, but now the best candidate has arrived.

After Shirou Emiya gave a brief account of what happened, Flash said, "I understand, but my opinion is that we don't need to rescue everyone. We just need to take down the people who are about to carry out the orders."

After all, having so many identical girls gathered together can cause problems, and I don't think you want to suddenly expose everything, right?

Furthermore, I need to know the exact location and a detailed map to make my movements easier.

Misaka Mikoto quickly pulled out her phone and said, "I hacked into their system and obtained the location of all the sisters. Here are the details and a map."

Barry Allen took the phone, looked it over carefully, and said, "So how do I get there?"

Emiya Shirou pulled out a time-travel card and handed it to Flash: "Use this. I've already located you. Misaka-san, you can go with Barry."

"Hmm!" Misaka Mikoto didn't know what Barry Allen's abilities were, but judging from the store manager's words, he seemed to be known as the Flash in his universe?

What does "The Flash" mean? Is his ability to use electricity?

Precise electrical conductivity to stun every criminal? Lightning fast?

Barry Allen took the time-travel card in his hand and examined it carefully. He found that it was just an ordinary-looking little card, made of the same material as a regular bank card.

"Can this really take me to a completely new universe?"

Misaka Mikoto said impatiently, "Let's go!"

Emiya Shirou smiled and waved, "Have a safe trip."

The next instant, Barry Allen and Misaka Mikoto appeared outside the 14th school district, where a group of Kihara Kazuta's fully armed subordinates were preparing to enter the 14th school district and eliminate all the sisters.

"It's them!" As soon as Misaka Mikoto finished speaking, a streak of orange-red lightning flashed past her.

Wherever the lightning struck, it left an endless trail, and all the armed personnel were instantly knocked down and fell unconscious.

The Academy City satellite captured an astonishing scene and uploaded it to the building where Aleister was located.

In the real-time, lag-free video, Aleister saw an orange-red lightning bolt trailing a long shadow across the streets and alleys of Academy City before disappearing into District 14.

Interestingly, the lightning bolt first appeared in District 14, and even more coincidentally, District 14 had previously been shown to have been hacked.

So the question is, who is it?

Aleister, inverted within the life support device filled with red liquid, gazed at the light screen outside the chamber, a slight smile playing on his lips. In the empty room, a serene female voice rang out:

"A very unique form of energy, completely contrary to the rules of this universe, is it a demon god?"

This book is for exchange and learning purposes only. The copyright belongs to the original author and publisher. If you like it, please support the original version.

"Demon God? No, Aiwass, this is perhaps something more interesting than a demon god. Today's farce should end now."

The chairman of Academy City chuckled, "So, in my Academy City, besides Imagine Breaker, there's something else I don't know about? Hehehe, it's necessary to keep a close eye on this third one."

Inside the restaurant, Barry Allen returned with Misaka Mikoto, who was completely unaware of what had happened.

"Boss, all done." Barry Allen picked up a French fry, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a sip of Coke.

"Wait, wait, wait a minute! Only a second has passed! You've already taken care of all the militants? What kind of superpower is this?!" Misaka Mikoto was going crazy. What was this? She had never seen anything like it before!

Even Accelerator, who was sitting on the other side eating herbivorous dragon meat, was dumbfounded. What happened? Why did they come back?

"No, it's mainly because your city is too small, not even a fifth the size of the city center. For me, running through every corner of this city in a second is too easy. If I were more familiar with it, it probably wouldn't even take a second."

Flash casually uttered words that left the two Academy City LV5s in disbelief.

Accelerator finally spoke, "Your ability is related to speed?"

Misaka Mikoto was also shocked, "That's so fast! Faster than light!"

Emiya Shirou said, "Sorry, it really is faster than light. Barry, how fast are you now?"

Xiao Shan thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Before, with Dr. Elias's help, I could use every muscle in my body to reach eight times the beam speed, but recently I feel that my speed is even faster, maybe close to nine times, or even ten times?"

"Ten times the speed of light!?" Misaka Mikoto was stunned.

"How could a human do that—ouch! That hurts, you scoundrel!!!" Accelerator was so shocked that he aggravated the wound on his face, making him wince in pain.

"It's definitely impossible for a normal person. I am protected by the Speed ​​Force. I can move at high speed within the Speed ​​Force, ignore all the laws of the universe, exceed the speed of light, reverse time and space, and even pass through objects and cross the barriers between parallel universes."

I even traveled to the future of my world, the 25th century, and arrested a time-traveling criminal.

Okay, upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya understood; Flash had already fought Reverse-Flash.

The Academy City duo fell into deep self-doubt.

That's what you call a superpowered person!

Xiao Shan didn't stay long, after all, the police station in the central city was still very busy.

Before leaving, he reluctantly handed Yu Meiren two hundred-yen bills and said to Emiya Shirou, "Thank you for your guidance, boss. Not only did I get to eat delicious food I'd never tasted before, but I also learned that there are other universes beyond our own."

As I traversed the Speed ​​Force, I could keenly sense that I was being watched by countless eyes, the two most prominent of which came from a windowless building.

The guys inside seem more powerful than anyone I've ever met in the Justice League, and even more formidable than any of the supervillains we've dealt with so far.

If I had the chance, I'd like to patronize your restaurant again. I mean, if I invited other guests for the manager, would the manager give me a free meal? You know, I'm actually a poor cop.

Other guests?

"Barry, you're not referring to the Justice League members, are you?" Shirou Emiya asked curiously.

"Yes, that's right! It's them! I'm telling you about the store manager, one of them is super rich! He provided all the equipment, facilities, and venues for our Justice League!"

Emiya Shirou nodded in agreement, "That's right. His superpower is, after all, being rich. I once hosted him from a parallel world. He ate a 500-yen hamburger without batting an eye, and even thought it wasn't enough, so he asked me to make him ten more."

"Yeah, they're incredibly rich," Xiao Shan said with a nostalgic look.

“Indeed, this is outrageously extravagant,” Emiya Shirou thought to himself, his mind drifting away.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Flash and Shirou Emiya left the restaurant, leaving only the silent Academy City duo inside.

"Are you still hungry?" Yu Meiren tapped the table.

Misaka Mikoto shook her head. "I'm not hungry anymore. It just feels like today has been a completely unreal day."

Accelerator scoffed, slammed his wallet on the table, turned and left with a very nonchalant air.

Misaka Mikoto was furious: "What?! It's all his fault! Why is he so arrogant?! It's infuriating!"

"That's just his personality. If you don't have a close relationship with him, you'll never hear him speak normally in your life," Shirou Emiya said with a smile.

"Huh? Her? Does he even have anyone in his life who's willing to be close to him? If he does!"

Emiya Shirou said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he definitely will."

"I don't believe it! If he has it, I, I, I..." Misaka Mikoto began to think about how to say it.

"What do you want? To accept Kuroko's confession?"

"Who would accept Kuroko's confession?! I'm a girl!!!"

"Alright then, Kuroko would be devastated if he heard that," Emiya Shirou chuckled.

"...Don't talk nonsense, Manager! I only consider Kuroko a very, very good friend! There's no way we could be lovers!" Misaka Mikoto was so angry that her face turned red.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. But seriously, if someone were to actually befriend Accelerator, what would you do?"

"...Then I'll work as a maid at your restaurant!"

"No!" Yu Meiren glared angrily.

"There are too many people!" Riko refused on the spot.

Emiya Shirou shrugged: "You see, my staff member is unwilling, and I dare not disobey them, so you should try someone else, like, how about trying to become friends with Shokuhou Misaki?"

Misaka Mikoto immediately rolled her eyes. "Tch! I might as well just marry Kuroko!"

Princess Electrified of Tokiwadai thought for a moment and suddenly realized a possibility: "No, I was too hasty. It is said that like attracts like and opposites repel. Those who can get close to someone like him must be the same as him."

So I'm not taking this bet anymore. Both sides can go their way; just thinking about it is enough!

Emiya Shirou chuckled, "Eh, so that's what Misaka-san thinks? I can't wait to see what happens in the future."

"Hmph, even though the matter is resolved, I still can't forgive him. That's all for now, boss. Next time I'll bring my friends along. I should head back now, otherwise that Kuroko guy will be worried sick!"

"Thank you for your patronage. Please come again, Misaka-san."

Watching Misaka Mikoto leave the restaurant, Emiya Shirou stretched and yawned. "Ah, only half an hour left in business today. Hopefully, no more customers will come."

Riko said, both amused and exasperated, "Other people who open shops are eager for their restaurants to be bustling with activity and have a constant stream of customers. But Shirou, you're different. I feel like you're just wasting your time eating and waiting to die."

Yu Meiren shook her head and sighed, "Let the child be as he is now. Sooner or later, we'll lose money and go bankrupt."

"Tsk, where did you come from, old lady? Why do you talk like an old woman? And what good will it do you to curse me into bankruptcy? Is my food not spicy enough, or are my game consoles not fun enough?" Emiya Shirou said, annoyed.

"Tch, tell me, what else can you do besides cook?" Yu Meiren pressed.

"I can do so many things! I can do projection magic, I can cook infinitely, I have the Sharingan, I can forge weapons with spirit particles, I can play baseball, I can summon shikigami, and most importantly, I can jump high!"

Emiya Shirou counted on his fingers and exclaimed, "Wow, I know quite a lot!"

"High jump?" Yu Meiren had never heard of it before.

"Is this some kind of special skill?" Riko thought it was some kind of superpower.

"Is it the kind of high jump I understand, Shirou-nii?" Meruet thought she had misheard.

Meanwhile, Matou Sakura, who was sitting next to the television, perked up her ears.

"This senior can also do high jump? Pressure Masne!"

First update is here, please get started!

Also, I was a bit dazed yesterday and only wrote 9000 words, so I'll be posting an extra 1000 words today.

In other words, the next chapter will be 6000 words.
