Ten minutes later, in the top-floor office of the Totsuki Resort.
Senzaemon Nakiri, wearing a large kimono, bowed respectfully to Loki. "I am Senzaemon Nakiri. It's a pleasure to meet Loki-sama and Emiya-dono. May I ask who these two are?"
He looked at Hestia and Hephaestus standing beside Emiya.
Since he was meeting the local authority, Emiya had called the two goddesses back as well.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is the goddess Hestia, and this is the goddess Hephaestus," Emiya said calmly.
Senzaemon Nakiri quickly bowed to the two women.
He wouldn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to a goddess.
Although he was called the "Demon King of Culinary" by the students at Totsuki Academy, compared to a true god, his title was just a false front.
The old and shrewd Senzaemon Nakiri, of course, knew this.
Emiya waved his hand and said, "Please, have a seat.
Let's skip the formalities and get straight to the point."
Senzaemon Nakiri sat down on the sofa and nodded. "Of
course."
"Did you bring the data for manufacturing mobile phones?"
Senzaemon Nakiri took out a USB drive and placed it in front of Emiya.
"This contains the data you requested, and I have also purchased a manufacturing line that can be put into operation for mass production at any time."
"We don't need to rush that just yet," Emiya said, taking the USB drive and handing it to Hephaestus.
Hephaestus took the USB drive and said, "I need a computer."
Senzaemon Nakiri pointed to the computer in the office.
"Please, Goddess Hephaestus, feel free to use it."
Hephaestus walked over without hesitation.
Emiya then said, "And the gold? How is your preparation
for that?"
Senzaemon Nakiri pointed to a small suitcase at his feet.
"Three hundred pounds of gold in total. If it's not enough, I can add more."
Emiya didn't know the price of gold in Orario, so he turned to look at Loki, who nodded. "That should be enough."
Hestia nodded with certainty. "Three hundred pounds of gold can be exchanged for tens of millions of Falna.
That's more than enough."
Emiya nodded with satisfaction and said to Senzaemon Nakiri, "Erina must have told you about Orario. How many people are you planning to send?"
Of course, opening a restaurant in the labyrinth city of Orario couldn't be done with just Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato alone.
What's more, the two women were still students and had to attend school.
Emiya didn't believe that Senzaemon Nakiri hadn't considered this.
Senzaemon Nakiri took out a stack of documents and placed them on the coffee table in front of Emiya, slowly saying, "Here is a list. Please take a look, my lords and Emiya-dono."
Loki waved her hand. "This has nothing to do with me."
Hestia looked at Emiya, as this concerned her future, and she was, of course, nervous.
Emiya picked up the folded documents, split them in half, gave one part to Hestia, and kept the other for himself.
The first name that caught Emiya's eye was a familiar one.
Mana Nakiri!
This person was none other than Senzaemon Nakiri's biological daughter and Erina Nakiri's biological mother.
She was also the sole special executive officer of the gourmet organization WGO, appearing only at a few WGO meetings each year.
Like Erina Nakiri, she possessed the "God's Tongue" talent, but her God's Tongue was on a whole new level compared to Erina's, as she had already tasted all the cuisines in the world.
Ordinary dishes simply couldn't move Mana Nakiri's tongue. Currently, she was so weary of eating mediocre food that she could only sustain herself on nutrients.
It could be said that this was truly a miserable situation.
So when Senzaemon Nakiri heard about Orario, he
immediately understood that it was an opportunity and didn't hesitate to place his daughter first on the list.
Emiya wasn't surprised by this, as he thought it was only natural.
"That's acceptable," Emiya said to Senzaemon Nakiri.
Senzaemon Nakiri was visibly relieved.
After putting down Mana Nakiri's information, Emiya looked at the second person's file, and it was another familiar name.
Gin Dojima.
However, upon reflection, as one of Totsuki's most outstanding students, the head chef of the Totsuki Resort, and an insider who knew the full story, there was no reason for him to be excluded.
Emiya nodded. "He's acceptable as well."
Putting down Gin Dojima's file, Emiya looked at the third person's information, which was still another familiar face the 'Shura' that Loki had just been talking about Joichiro Saiba.
His son was currently studying at Totsuki, and now he was bringing the father along.
Senzaemon Nakiri wanted to completely tie the Yukihira father and son to the Totsuki bandwagon.
But Emiya had no reason to refuse.
After all, two of these three people were outstanding chefs, and the last one had the God's Tongue. No matter how he looked at it, they were all excellent candidates.
Emiya quickly finished reading the documents in his hand and then swapped with Hestia.
Before long, Emiya finished reading the other documents and said to Hestia beside him, "Hestia-sama, do you have anyone you're interested in?"
Hestia took out the files of a few people and placed them in front of Emiya. In addition to the ones Emiya had chosen Gin Dojima, Joichiro Saiba, and Mana Nakiri there were also Jun Shiomi and Sonoka Kikuchi.
Emiya's mouth twitched when he saw them.
If he remembered correctly, both Jun Shiomi and Sonoka Kikuchi had enormous chests that would put others to shame.
Sonoka Kikuchi, in particular, was often called the
'big-breasted monster' by her senior, Rindo Kobayashi.
Emiya had reason to suspect that the reason Hestia recruited these two was mainly to get a rise out of Loki, and to mock Loki's despairingly flat chest.
What kind of grudge do you two have?
Emiya said with a wry smile, "Goddess Hestia, are you sure you want to recruit these two?"
Hestia looked at Loki triumphantly. "Of course."
Loki saw Hestia's triumphant expression and couldn't help but feel curious. She leaned her head over. "Let me see who this shorty recruited."
Emiya subconsciously reached out to stop Loki, but it
was too late.
Loki's eyes immediately lost their sparkle.
Of the five people Mana Nakiri, Gin Dojima, Joichiro Saiba, Jun Shiomi, and Sonoka Kikuchi the three women, aside from Gin and Joichiro, each had a better figure than the last.
For Loki, this was completely a blatant insult.
In the next second, Loki lunged at Hestia without hesitation. "Die, you freeloader poverty god!"
Hestia wasn't to be outdone and fought back.
Then, the two goddesses who could have destroyed the world were wrestling like common mortals.
