The all-powerful middle schooler

"Alright, the match is over, let's eat!"

They didn't pay any attention to Toka's expression; their serious demeanor instantly transformed into that of predatory demons, and they began to snatch the food from the table.

Takanashi Touka quietly walked over, picked up a spoon and scooped up a mouthful of omelet rice. It was so delicious that she closed her eyes.

At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to a bright summer day, with birds singing and flowers blooming. She was a child running through golden rice fields, her face full of laughter, living a carefree and joyful life...

That run under the setting sun was a reminder of her lost youth.

Tears fell without my noticing.

"I lost."

At that moment, she understood why she could still lose even though her cooking was impeccable.

Such dishes are simply not something that humans could make.

Is there really such a genius in this world?

"Hasegawa, you are the man who can shoulder the future of Japanese cuisine!"

Takanashi Touka wiped away her tears and then said seriously.

This compliment sounds familiar...

It seems like many people have said that.

Hasegawa Izumi's lips twitched slightly, and she said calmly, "According to the rules of Food Wars, you will now join our 'Far East Magic Society'."

"Since I've agreed, I won't go back on my word... But, this is a club within the school, right? I can't participate in your club activities at all."

"It's alright, Saint Healer, you just need to do your job."

"You're not going to make me make lunchboxes for you guys, are you?!"

Toka Kotori was in a bit of a dilemma because she had a proper job.

"No, Holy Soother, what you need to do is act as the assistant 'Spirit Chef,' preparing 'rare ingredients' for everyone..."

He shook his head.

She was silent.

Are you still using this tactic now?

But since we're already on this pirate ship, there's nothing we can do about it.

"Can I learn to cook from you?"

The topic of "Birds Swimming in the Ten Flowers" has shifted.

"Of course, and I will restore you to your peak condition, since you are not yet capable of cooking 'rare ingredients'..."

"Return to peak condition?"

If Takanashi Touka weren't a stoic beauty, she would definitely be laughing now.

But the next second, something she would never forget happened.

"Let's start with the chef's most important asset: their hands."

The boy in front of her suddenly reached out with both hands and grabbed, as if blue flames appeared from his hands at the same time.

[What? What? What?]

[What... what's going on... a magic trick?!]

Her body suddenly stiffened, and she had no intention of moving, letting the boy grab her wrist.

Spiritual energy gathered in her hands, then traveled down her arms, all the way to the center of her chest where it coalesced and quietly disappeared.

It all felt like a dream.

The boy released his hands.

Takanashi Toka instinctively pressed her hand to her chest, and froze.

There does seem to be supernatural power there...

I thought it was just a game between kids, but it turns out it was real!

Could it be that she really is—

【Saintly Healer】

He simply lost his memory for some reason?

36

Chapter 36 Preaching and Propagation.

...How could that be!

After a moment of realization, Takanashi Touka still judged it as nonsense and did not blindly follow it.

She has a clear and unbroken memory from childhood to adulthood, and if she had that ability, her life wouldn't be like this now.

However, the existence of superpowers is an undeniable fact.

This is definitely not something that technology or magic can demonstrate.

So to say……

Takanashi Touka looked over at her younger sister, who, though engrossed in eating, still spared some attention and gave her a playful wink.

It seems I've been kept in the dark all along.

She sighed inwardly, temporarily suppressing her confusion, and sought further culinary expertise from Hasegawa.

Then, Izumi Hasegawa pointed her finger at her forehead and transmitted some relevant information.

"There is a sequence to learning, and each profession has its own expertise... Although you, as a spiritual chef, lack combat power, you are an indispensable force for everyone. I hope that you, Holy Healer, can recover and even surpass your former peak as soon as possible."

"……Yes."

His earnest words made Shihua a little embarrassed, and her earlobes flushed red.

After Hasegawa and his group left.

"Rikka, don't you have anything to say to me?!"

Takanashi Touka narrowed her eyes, displaying a hint of the fierceness one would expect from an older sister.

"That's wonderful, sister! You've finally regained your power! Come on, quickly become a true Holy Healer!"

Rikka Takanashi raised her shoulders, clenched her right fist, and exclaimed joyfully.

“Tell me the truth! Don’t think I’m that easy to fool… I’ve watched you grow up since you were little, I know you don’t have that ability, so, it’s Hasegawa’s problem, right?”

"Sister, you've joined the Far East Magic Society. You should address her as 'Sage' or 'Minister'."

"How could you possibly call me that! Okay, stop changing the subject, tell me the truth!"

The little bird, unmoved by the ten flowers, stared intently and then walked away.

"I...I know."

Rikka Takanashi sighed and told him everything.

She had, of course, anticipated this, and had discussed it with the group members; the rules and regulations had already been arranged.

"I see... You guys are really lucky."

With her fingers twirling her chin, Tokachi Kotori's eyes sparkled.

But the girl gently shook her head, and said in a firm tone with a slight smile on her lips:

"It's definitely not luck..."

"It is an inevitability."

"This is all Steins;Gate's choice!"

……

A new week has begun.

"Gulu gulu..."

Sanae Tokomori picked up a bottle of pure milk and downed it in one gulp.

"This pure white holy water still tastes awful, Death."

Even as a superhuman, she still finds it difficult to adapt.

"It is said that the latest research shows that drinking milk does not significantly help with height increase; it only supplements some nutrients, some of which can be replaced by other foods."

"Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi suddenly said."

"What……!"

Sanae looked shocked.

Then all the suffering she's endured these past few months has been for nothing!

"It's alright, Servant, you have indeed grown taller."

Rikka Takanashi gave her a comforting look.

"Really?"

Sanae Tokomori compared her height to the height line left on the wall earlier, gestured with her hand, and then revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.

"Wuhu~"

Rikka Takanashi wasn't surprised, because she had secretly measured herself and found she had grown 3cm taller.

"This is a second development. With the infusion of spiritual energy, your physical abilities are gradually approaching the limits of human beings, and your potential is being released. Height is just an external manifestation."

Hasegawa Izumi raised her head and said.

"Really! Us too?"

"I hope I don't grow taller and my breasts get bigger, Minister. If that happens, I'll be really bothered."

Nishikawa Morikawa and Natsukawa Masaki were somewhat worried.

Because that wouldn't be cute; being small and exquisite is what makes this place special.

They've reached a very suitable ratio; if they continue to rise, their style will change.

"...They really have plenty of time."

"The troubles of happiness, and the dreaded death."

Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori squinted their eyes.

"Spiritual power will provide assistance according to your wishes. For those of you who are already satisfied with your figures, it will not be very obvious. At most, you will grow a little taller."

Izumi Hasegawa's answer relieved them.

……

A detached house by the street, with the surname 'Dansho-tani' written on the sign.

"Ding dong ding dong~"

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

The full-time housewife, who was preparing ingredients for dinner, put down what she was doing and walked towards the door.

Just as Mrs. Dansheng was about to turn the handle to open the door, her daughter's warning echoed in her mind.

There's a lot of hostility in society lately, so please be careful, for example, don't open the door to just anyone...

So she went to the peephole and saw a kind-looking old lady, but her clothes were a bit strange, like she was wearing a uniform.

She frowned, as if remembering something, and suddenly became wary.

"Excuse me, ma'am... who are you?"

"Are you Mrs. Nishikawa? I am a missionary, here to bring you relief..."

"Relief? I don't need that."

"Mrs. Dansheng, you're a full-time housewife, right? Your husband is often away from home, you must feel lonely, right? We can help you solve this problem. We have many like-minded people here, we can form a big family..."
