"I thought the special coffee I developed for my experiments was good enough, but I never expected there were even more experts out there."

In the coffee business, I admit you're better than me.

Ms. Herta acknowledged Himeko's coffee-making skills.

"I think your culinary skills, Herta, are just as good as Miss Himeko's coffee-making skills~"

For the first time, Nguyen Mai's usually expressionless face broke into a smile, and even her tone became slightly teasing.

"Nguyen Mai!"

Herta blushed; only the truth could truly wound.

Harsh words wound the heart of the tower.

Why are you bringing up my embarrassing moments?!

"Hehe..."

Sera couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Herta turned his gaze to Sera and spoke with a half-smile.

"You seem quite interested in this. I'll cook lunch today."

"Need not..."

"Um?"

"..." Sera paused for a moment before continuing.

Does everyone have to eat it?

"Right."

"Then I'll go get help."

Sera took out her phone and sent messages to everyone she knew, inviting them to lunch together.

Since Sera and the others couldn't escape, they had no choice but to eat everyone together.

"..."

Cyrene ultimately could not escape this calamity.

Cyrene: 666, is there a second level? Where's Little Sera? Help Little Sera!

Sera: I'm sorry, I'm in a precarious situation myself.

Kiana: Why is there a second round of food after I've already drunk the coffee from the first round?!

Nguyen Mai/ Sera (turning her head to the side): Yes, what happened?

Fainting Feiying and Yaoguang:?

The two most innocent victims didn't say anything about refusing, presumably because after drinking Himeko's coffee, they were also eager to try the food Herta made with its Curio, right?

"By the way, what about Herta and Black Tomb? Why didn't she come out with you?"

"She's handling something on the other side; she won't come out for a while."

Time quickly passed to 11 a. m.

With a large number of transfer requests approved, the victims began to enter the venue one after another.

"Want to try the little witch's cooking?" Polka Kakamu smirked.

I hope I don't see myself making a fool of myself.

"..."

Sera turned her head away, said nothing, and mourned silently in her heart.

"A genius made this meal, Sparkle I have to sit up and eat it!"

It's a pity, Sampo is still playing with the children and won't be able to enjoy this blessing~

Actually, no, Old Sampo was really lucky this time! Sera exclaimed, marveling at Sampo's good fortune.

Busitu and Boothill didn't come either. Sera translated Busitu's words, which meant that he and Boothill couldn't come to eat together.

Sera knew that the two of them standing among Sera group seemed a bit out of place.

After all, the two of them were much taller than Sera and the others. Sera was somewhere between a teenager and a young adult, and was a little taller than Kiana, so it was normal for them to blend in with the group without any sense of incongruity.

"Boom--"

An explosion was heard from the kitchen.

"Cough cough..."

Black Tomb and Herta came out together carrying dishes, their hair still a little frizzy, but their clothes were undamaged.

The people sitting there, upon hearing the explosion and glancing at the two men and the kitchen billowing black smoke, turned pale.

"..."

Kiana felt that compared to the Herta and the Black Tomb, her cooking skills as a Kaslana were already quite good.

"Wow..."

Himeko exclaimed in surprise.

"So, Curio can be used as ingredients for cooking! I've learned how!"

"?!"

Sera felt that if she didn't stop Himeko, something bad would happen later.

"Don't try to learn everything! Using Curio to cook is wrong!"

Sera, disregarding everything else, hurriedly tried to persuade Himeko.

"Oh?"

Herta and Black Tomb each held a plate of food made with some Curio, standing behind Sera with somewhat dangerous eyes.

"Let's put aside whether it's right or wrong for now... Why don't you try a few bites first?"

Herta was the first to pick up a spoon, scoop a spoonful of food, and bring it to Sera's lips. His tone was gentle, but it sent a chill down Sera's spine.

"Come on... good boy, open your mouth~"

Sera opened her mouth expressionlessly and swallowed the food.

"Bang--"

The food exploded in their mouths, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Sera, who remained expressionless. Except for the two who were still asleep, everyone thought to themselves, "As expected of Sera."

When Herta heard the sound of the food exploding, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sera was unharmed.

"This dish... is quite unique."

Sera gave a thumbs-up.

"Loquacious!"

Herta touched Sera's forehead with his fingertips, a smile playing on his lips.

The food exploded inside her body without causing any damage; it's all thanks to Sera being Herrscher!

"I like everything Herta makes."

"Hmph, don't eat the rest, I'll go get rid of it."

Although Ms. Herta snorted, her tone carried a hint of arrogance. Even though our Ms. Herta usually goes straight for the kill, it's not uncommon for her to be a little tsundere in this situation, is it?

Herta, lured in by Sera's words, picked up the plate and took the plate of explosives into the kitchen to dispose of it.

Black Tomb then placed the plate in front of Sera, and no one felt it was impolite, because they thought Sera was testing the poison for them.

My God, Sera is great, no further explanation needed!

"Ah--"

"Ah..."

Sera obediently opened her mouth and ate the dish from the Black Tomb.

Sera's vision went black, and her consciousness seemed to arrive near LX's divine body.

He didn't pay any attention, but sighed and waved his hand, regaining his senses.

"Black Tomb, what did you put in this dish?"

"I added some Chaos Special Elixir for flavoring, along with Musk Cheese and Star-Shattering Bait."

"No wonder I saw LX earlier... Black Tomb."

"Sigh... Okay, okay, I'll go take care of it too, alright?"

Most people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them go back into the kitchen.

Why most people? Because, apart from the two sleepyheads, Himeko was secretly recording the recipes for the Herta and Black Tomb, as well as the effects of the dishes, in her notebook on her lap.

Suzi covered the corners of her mouth with her arm, and Himeko was taking notes, remained silent.

"Hiss~" Feiying struggled to wake up from the sofa, shaking her head.

"Wow, so many people?"

"Yes, dinner's almost ready. Come sit here."

Sakura patted the seat prepared for Feiying next to her.

"Hmm..."

Yaoguang rubbed his forehead and propped himself up from the sofa.

"This is...?"

Yaoguang was thinking in a daze, Remembrance of the moment before he collapsed flooding back.

Yes... she drank a cup of coffee and then 'fell asleep'.

Suddenly, Yaoguang had a great idea.

"Yaoguang, sit down and get ready to eat."

Sera gestured for Yaoguang to sit down.

"Um."

Yaoguang nodded slightly and sat down in the empty seat. Sera looked at Yaoguang's expression and felt that she was going to trick someone.
