then.

Under Erina's leadership and organization.

Everyone actively prepared the ingredients and cooking utensils they needed.

……

The next morning.

A group of people, carrying large and small bags, gathered at Erina's house.

Alice Nakiri glared fiercely at Erina: "Where is the banquet being held? Don't tell me it's at your house!"

Ryoko Sakaki and the others shared the same question.

It was their first time visiting Erina's house, and it was indeed very luxurious.

However, the kitchen was far beyond the capacity of a dozen or so people to share.

How do you cook this?

Alice herself was fine; she was a molecular gastronomist and used the equipment she brought herself.

What about the rest?

Erina simply glanced at her calmly: "No need to rush, Miki-kun will arrange everything."

"What are you doing? You're so mysterious."

Alice pouted.

I was already unhappy because Erina suddenly became the first seat of the Elite Ten.

They're doing something that's hard to understand again.

Such a big thing happened yesterday.

The entire Totsuki Academy was in an uproar.

Several of the Elite Ten even clamored to have a food battle with Erina.

Erina, however, completely ignored them, seemingly only concerned with the boy named Mimei.

The mysterious appearance yesterday, and Erina's rush towards him, caused a huge uproar and attracted a lot of attention.

As Erina's grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri naturally paid special attention to the investigation.

Alice sought out Senzaemon Nakiri for questioning.

The news they received was quite surprising.

Weiming is someone who is currently known within the upper echelons of society.

The person who will truly control the future of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu.

This is truly unexpected.

However, she also dispelled some of her suspicions.

For example, does Erina like Mimei?

He is the future husband of Kaguya Shinomiya, the heiress of the Shinomiya conglomerate. How could such a bizarre thing happen to him?

Just as she was about to inquire about the banquet venue...

A circular ripple, resembling transparent gel, appeared in the space in front of them.

"What is this?"

Ryoko Sakaki, who was very close by just now, curiously reached out and pointed.

With a whoosh, she was sucked into a circular spatial fluctuation.

"???"

This scene left everyone else stunned.

"Ryoko!"

Yoshino Yuuki screamed.

A perfectly healthy person is gone just like that!

"What is this?"

Mito Ikumi's pupils trembled; the current situation was extremely bizarre, like a supernatural event.

"Don't get excited, come in."

An unidentified figure emerged from the spatial passage, supporting a bewildered and uncertain Ryoko Sakaki.

"Ryoko! Are you alright?"

Upon seeing Ryoko Sakaki appear, Yuuki Yoshino and Megumi Tadokoro rushed over.

After pinching her hands, belly, and face to confirm that they were all flesh, Yoshino Yuuki patted her chest: "It's Ryoko alive."

"You idiot Yuuki, how could I possibly be dead?" Ryoko retorted.

"Ryoko, Mimei-kun, what just happened?" Tadokoro Megumi looked curiously at the spatial passage behind them.

Alice and Ikumi Mito were equally curious.

Ryoko Sakaki was both shaken and filled with mixed emotions: "I was just sucked into this strange thing and then entered a magical place."

"A magical place?"

Wei Ming raised a finger, and their bags and packages floated up. Then he turned around and said, "Come with me, see for yourselves..."

They took all their belongings and entered the spatial passage.

Erina, Momoko Akane, and the others walked in as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

They all disappeared from the spatial passage.

Although Alice and Mito Ikumi were not familiar with each other, they subconsciously exchanged glances, trying to make sure the other had seen them.

Luggage and packages floated in mid-air, the air distorted, and the crowd vanished.

These events deeply impacted their hearts.

Mito Ikumi even pinched her own arm.

"hiss!"

I gasped for breath and felt pain, so it shouldn't be a dream.

After the initial shock, Alice calmly reflected on Erina's earlier composure.

"Erina already knew all this..."

Only this can explain her calm demeanor throughout, as if she had expected it all along.

After thinking it over, her curiosity was further piqued.

Magic? Superpowers? Yin-Yang Arts?

"Go in and have a look."

After a quick assessment, Alice followed without much hesitation.

Mito Ikumi gritted her teeth and followed.

Erina-sama has already gone, what does she have to be afraid of?

Yoshino Yuuki and Tadokoro Megumi could only look at Sakaki Ryoko.

After all, she was the only one who had just disappeared.

Once she had recovered her senses, Ryoko Sakaki nodded emphatically: "There's no danger, let's go."

The spatial passage disappeared the moment everyone entered.

"Wow!!!"

On the other side of the space passage.

Finally, Megumi Tadokoro and Yuuki Yoshino, who were on this side, were captivated by the scenery before them, their eyes widening in amazement.

Even Ryoko Sakaki, who had only seen it once, was still amazed.

They were currently in a simple villa with clear and bright walls on all four sides.

The villa is clean and tidy, with exquisite table and chair interiors and soft, comfortable lighting.

But what caught their eye was the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The entire villa is surrounded by the shimmering blue ocean.

Azure sky.

Seagulls in flight.

Drifting clouds.

And the beautiful scenery where the sea and sky meet.

Surprisingly, this villa is neither on an island, nor on land, nor on a ship.
