As for Tonio, after learning about Miyauchi Hikage's identity and power, he earnestly requested Miyauchi Hikage's help in obtaining the special-grade abalone that only existed in the fishery controlled by the Higashikata family.
He also directly revealed the purpose of his arrival in Morioh Town.
During his travels around the world, he fell in love with a girl who was also a chef, and the two worked hard together to reach a higher realm of culinary arts.
However, unexpected storms happen in life. At the beginning of this year, his lover was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in her brain, which current technology could not cure.
After that, Tonio used his Pearl Jam to develop many special dishes, wanting to find a way to cure his lover.
But despite using many rare ingredients, he was unable to develop a cure for the severe disease of a malignant tumor.
It was not until he accidentally heard the legend of Morioh Town's abalone that he wanted to try if this legendary ingredient could be used to create a further dream-like dish.
However, Morioh Town's abalone was not sold to the public. Even though Tonio's culinary skills had reached the pinnacle of perfection, he could not obtain even a single abalone through normal methods.
But he did not intend to just give up like this, so he decided to temporarily settle down in Morioh Town to see if he could obtain these abalones through other means.
Miyauchi Hikage himself did not need Tonio's favor, but Shinomiya Kaguya was unlikely to let go of this chef with healing abilities.
After all, Senzu Beans could only heal injuries, not cure diseases. Although Tonio's Pearl Jam was limited by ingredients, with the Shinomiya family's power and influence, unless they were supernatural ingredients, the Shinomiya family could get their hands on any precious ingredients.
If she could make this Italian chef, whose Stand ability was healing, her assistant, she could obviously use this to attract more injured and sick supernatural beings to join her ranks.
Therefore, after Miyauchi Hikage sent a message to Shinomiya Kaguya, before he could even explain the situation here, Shinomiya Kaguya, who had already learned about the situation through the chat group, stated that there was absolutely no problem.
She even took the initiative to call, preparing to brush up some presence on Tonio's side first.
Although Tonio had not been in Japan for long, the name of the Shinomiya zaibatsu was still very famous. Therefore, after receiving a positive reply from Shinomiya Kaguya, the body of this nearly thirty-year-old man could not help but tremble slightly.
He himself did not expect that not long after arriving in Japan, he would achieve his idea.
With just a few words, the precious ingredients he had tried every means to obtain but failed were easily placed in front of him.
Shinomiya Kaguya even told him that he could freely study how to process those abalones, and if it was not enough, he could continue to ask the Higashikata family for more.
Of course, Tonio could clearly sense the intent to recruit him in Shinomiya Kaguya's tone.
Although he had not yet thought about his future path, no matter what, he owed the other party a huge favor.
If Morioh Town's abalone could not cure his girlfriend's disease, perhaps he would still have to rely on the Shinomiya family's ability to find other, more miraculous ingredients.
After all, according to Miyauchi Hikage, there seemed to be many special ingredients in the Inner World, which were more precious things that ordinary people might not see in a lifetime. For Tonio, who wanted to delve into culinary arts to a higher peak, this was indeed a condition he could not refuse.
So he did not directly refuse, and also tacitly accepted Shinomiya Kaguya's recruitment.
Before he thought it through, temporarily staying on Shinomiya Kaguya's side to repay her kindness was not a problem.
After finishing the chat with Tonio, Shinomiya Kaguya said to Miyauchi Hikage on the phone: "Miko and I will stay in Sendai for a while longer tonight. You can take Mr. Tonio to the hotel later; I will arrange things."
Miyauchi Hikage nodded, and then casually asked: "Are the matters on your side troublesome? If you need help, you can ask me."
"No need, we are just assisting. After all, we are not proper jujutsu sorcerers. Those curses and stuff should still be handled by professional sorcerers."
The current Shinomiya Kaguya had not yet realized that Sendai was about to be drawn into a violent vortex.
However, in the original plot, the Grade 2 sorcerer Fushiguro Megumi was careless and underestimated the enemy, resulting in being severely beaten by a Cursed Spirit. Before the other party could snatch Sukuna's finger, Itadori Yuji helplessly swallowed Sukuna's finger first, which opened the curtain to the story.
Now that Shinomiya Kaguya's status as a Grade 1 supernatural being was quite stable, the situation there would certainly not develop to such a bad degree.
Perhaps without even waiting for Gojo Satoru to arrive, Fushiguro Megumi cooperating with Shinomiya Kaguya could solve that Cursed Spirit, and Itadori Yuji would not need to eat the finger.
Although Miyauchi Hikage had a vague premonition that Kenjaku would definitely cause trouble regarding this, he could only see some vague and unclear things through divination.
So he just reminded Shinomiya Kaguya to be careful on the phone and did not say anything else.
The rest was simple. Tonio's restaurant was newly opened anyway, and not many people had eaten here. With few customers, he simply cleaned up the kitchen, contacted his girlfriend who was currently resting in the hospital, and then closed the restaurant and followed Miyauchi Hikage's group to the hotel.
And the two cooks, Tadokoro Megumi and Shiina Mahiru, also expressed great interest in seeing how he planned to process these abalones, and incidentally wanted to study the style of Italian cuisine.
Tonio naturally would not refuse this kind of culinary exchange, but just laid down three rules with them, stating that if they wanted to learn cooking from him, they must strictly follow his kitchen rules.
However, Tadokoro Megumi and Shiina Mahiru were originally people who respected rules very much, so there was no need to worry about them.
After handling Tonio's matters, checking that none of the girls made any progress tonight and did not sense any special reactions, Miyauchi Hikage returned to his room.
He first casually wrote a diary entry, received a useless reward, briefly sensed his Name Magic's perception after sending out the diary, and then closed his eyes. Following that, a clone of Wonder of U appeared in front of him.
Among a bunch of perceptions calling him the Mysterious Person, he sensed the title "Voldemort" in it.
This was a title only the girls from the second batch of diaries knew.
Although he did not know the other party's identity yet, since the other party had already arrived in Morioh Town, he naturally had to go over and confirm it.
