Chapter 1948 Nyanko-sensei's Trust in Natsume, and the Red Envelopes from Chef Boy and Erina Nakiri
"Ding! Group member [Little Chef] sent a red envelope."
"Ding! Group member [Little Chef] sent a red envelope."
"Ding! Group member [Little Chef] sent a red envelope."
"."
"Ding! Group member [Nakiri Erina] sent a red envelope."
"Ding! Group member [Nakiri Erina] sent a red envelope."
"Ding! Group member [Nakiri Erina] sent a red envelope."
"."
The young master and Erina Nakiri both sent out red envelopes at the same time.
Little Chef: "Because I found out last night that many group members hadn't come, I made some more when I got back."
Erina Nakiri: "That's right, thinking that some people might have missed it, I specially prepared some."
Although many group members attended the banquet last night, both Xiao Dangjia and Erina noticed that quite a few group members were unable to attend for various reasons.
So after returning to their respective worlds, they all prepared more dishes.
However, this time it wasn't just them alone. Little Chef had the help of the chefs from Kikukaro, as well as Master Rein and Master Xiang; while Erina also asked the Elite Ten and some outstanding chefs from "Jade Era" for help.
Kobayashi's eyes widened slightly as she watched the screen flooded with red envelopes and read the words from Little Chef and Erina. A warm feeling mixed with surprise welled up in her heart.
How could they be so thoughtful, Chef and Erina?! She had already prepared to buy the dishes from the chat group after she got back, but Chef and Erina actually prepared dishes for them because they didn't attend the banquet.
She could almost imagine the light that would shine in Kanna's eyes when she took out the special cooking red envelopes made by Chef Xiaodang and Erina!
An ordinary group admin: "So thoughtful?"
Su Yunqing was also somewhat moved; she never expected Erina and the young master to do such a thing.
He boiled Daigo into soup: "That's really thoughtful."
He boiled Daigo into soup: "Then I won't be polite."
Although Daigo said that, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He really wanted to go yesterday, but Lina, cough cough, anyway, for some reason, he couldn't go.
I was initially a little disappointed, but I didn't expect that Chef Xiao and Erina would be so thoughtful, even considering those of us who couldn't be there.
An ordinary group admin: "Daigo? Oh, right, you didn't go yesterday either."
An ordinary group admin: "You"
Su Yunqing then remembered that she wanted to ask the reason, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Minato Namikaze's words.
Golden Flash: "People with families are indeed different. I understand why Daigo didn't go." Minato Namikaze appeared at the right time, his tone gentle but full of understanding.
As a father who is also married and has children, he deeply understands this point.
Compared to banquets, spending time with family, especially young children who need care, is undoubtedly more important.
Naruto is still young, and he can't do without his parents' company.
Although Daigo doesn't have children yet, having a girlfriend is the same.
An ordinary group admin: "Is that so?"
An ordinary group admin: "But Tony got married too."
Su Yunqing paused for a moment, digesting this statement that belonged to "people with families." But if everyone is like this, then what about Tony?
He had a great time eating hamburgers last night.
The richest man in the lighthouse: "Oh, this one."
The richest man in the city said, "When I went there, it was broad daylight here, a bright and sunny morning."
The richest man in the city said, "So I just went on a short 'foodie vacation'."
After seeing Su Yunqing's words, Tony shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.
He even added with a hint of pride.
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Moreover, before setting off, I spent a wonderful night with Chili Pepper to make sure she was refreshed and in a good mood when she went to work today."
The implication was that he had arranged all the "family matters" before leaving home, and he also subtly hinted at the harmonious relationship between him and his wife.
An ordinary group owner: "."
Su Yunqing was speechless for a moment when she saw Tony's speech; due to the time difference, she had actually forgotten this point.
Takashi Natsume: "Um, may I also have a serving of the dish? Thank you very much."
Natsume had obviously seen the message in the chat group. He was flattered and very grateful for this unexpected gift.
An ordinary group admin: "By the way, Natsume, you didn't seem to go either."
An ordinary group admin: "The reason you didn't go, it can't be because of that too?"
Su Yunqing's tone was somewhat hesitant.
Takashi Natsume: "Because it's daytime here, and I need to attend classes, so..."
Natsume replied somewhat embarrassedly.
Besides the time conflict, his personality traits of not wanting to bother others too much and being somewhat shy in the face of large, lively occasions also made him hesitate to take the initiative to participate.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm and the gifts prepared for those who couldn't attend, he felt a little guilty for receiving them because of his "absence."
Takashi Natsume: "I'm so sorry I didn't say anything in the group chat beforehand. I'm really sorry for thanking you so late."
An ordinary group owner: "No, no, no, it's okay. Rather, I just forgot about the time."
An ordinary group admin: "You don't need to apologize."
Su Yunqing shook her head when she saw Natsume Takashi's words. Indeed, she had overlooked the issue of different timelines in different worlds.
Although for the vast majority of group members, time is not worth worrying about, after all, they have long lifespans and strong physiques that mean they don't need sleep.
Day and night are not important to them either.
However, it is still quite important for a small number of group members with relatively average abilities; some are students who need to attend classes and naturally do not have time to attend the banquet.
An ordinary group admin: "@Yukino Yukinoshita, @Kazusa Touma, @Yukina Ogiso, so is your world always at night?"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I set off after finishing my club activities."
The implication is that her world is indeed in the twilight.
Ogiso Setsuna: "I've taken leave, and Kazusa has taken leave too."
Ogiso Setsuna: "Compared to another world, and a banquet in the Cretaceous period, it wouldn't matter if I took a day off, would it?"
Setsuna Ogiso said in the chat group.
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "That's right, nodding.jpg"
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "But I couldn't ask for leave, so I used a clone."
Umaru deeply agreed with Setsuna Ogiso's words, but instead of asking for leave, she used her clone directly.
Xia Shizi: "."
Kasumi: "You know how to use clones when you're in school, but have you ever thought about using your own abilities when you're cleaning the house?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was at a loss for words.
I should say, as expected of Umaru-chan.
Little Chef: "Natsume-kun, please accept this. Being able to let everyone taste our dishes is the happiest thing for us chefs!"
Erina Nakiri: "Hmm, don't worry about it. I hope you like it."
For chefs like them, seeing diners' happy expressions because of their dishes is the greatest achievement and satisfaction.
This sentiment is not about whether someone is present or not; as long as someone tastes and enjoys it, they will be happy.
Takashi Natsume: "Thank you very much."
Natsume gratefully accepted the food-themed red envelope that carried such heartwarming sentiments.
At this moment, in Natsume Takashi's world, inside the Fujiwara family's room.
"Meow meow meow! A place connecting different worlds?! People from different worlds?! You didn't tell me something this important!!!"
"And there was a banquet, with dishes prepared by chefs from another world!"
"You should have said this sooner."
The cat teacher was patting the tatami mat with its short front paws. Its round body trembled slightly with excitement, and its half-closed eyes were filled with heartache.
It had just heard from Natsume about the chat group, the Cretaceous Starry Night Feast, and the dishes made by Chef Xiao and Erina Nakiri.
For it, things involving countless unknown worlds are more important than the Book of Friends!
Especially that banquet. According to Natsume, the two chefs were born in the world of gourmet food, and the dishes they made could not only glow, but also put people into a dream world.
It wants to eat this kind of food too, but that idiot Natsume only said so now!
"Because at that time, you, Nyanko-sensei, were already drunk, rolling around in the corridor with an empty wine bottle, and we couldn't wake you up no matter how much we called you."
Looking at the frantic cat teacher in front of him, Takashi Natsume sighed with a mix of helplessness and amusement, and explained with a wry smile.
He recalled how his cat was fast asleep and hiccuping when he tried to tell her about the party invitation last night, and he felt that he was being unfairly complained about.
"hateful!"
The cat teacher was momentarily speechless, but immediately regained her composure.
"Couldn't you have waited for me to sober up?! Or wake me up with your fists."
"How can mere drunkenness be an excuse for something this important, you idiot Natsume!"
It raised its furry paws and waved them.
But as it spoke, a hint of suspicion suddenly flashed in its eyes, as if it had remembered something it had previously overlooked.
It stopped spinning, its chubby body stopped, and it tilted its round head, staring intently at Natsume.
"wrong."
"You didn't just join that place that connects to other worlds yesterday, did you?"
"You joined a few days ago, right?"
It reflected on Natsume's condition over the past few days. Although he remained quiet and gentle, there seemed to be less of the faint loneliness and weariness that had lingered in his eyes over the years. Occasionally, when he was alone, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously curve into a slight smile.
It was a rare, relaxed smile on its face, as if some burden had been lifted.
"That's why you've been acting a little strange these past two days. You've been smiling more often. I thought you'd finally figured things out, or that you'd found some money."
"And now you're only telling me about that place? You've been keeping it from me for so long."
"Such an important matter!"
The cat teacher got angrier and angrier as she talked, feeling like a fool who had been kept in the dark.
With an angry accusation, it kicked off with its hind legs and jumped directly onto Natsume's head. Its short front paws began to scratch Natsume's soft brown hair without any politeness, trying to express its dissatisfaction and anger at being "betrayed" through this "punishment".
"Because even you, Nyanko-sensei, might not believe something like that."
Natsume was caught off guard by Nyanko-sensei's sudden attack. He covered his hair with his hand and explained with a helpless wry smile.
A chat group connecting different worlds, lives from different worlds.
Even for Natsume himself, who had seen many monsters and experienced many incredible things, this kind of thing initially felt unreal.
For Nyanko-sensei, a powerful yokai, it was equally absurd and bizarre.
That's something even the gods couldn't do.
He didn't tell Nyanko-sensei immediately, partly because Nyanko-sensei was drunk at the time, and also because he felt:
Even if he did say it, Nyanko-sensei would probably just think he's been bewitched by some strange monster, or that he's just talking nonsense in his sleep.
"Hmph! Would you lie? How can you be so sure I don't believe you?"
Upon hearing this reason, Nyanko-sensei not only failed to calm down, but instead ruffled Natsume's hair even harder and let out a cold snort.
Doesn't it know what kind of person Natsume is?
She is gentle and honest to the point of being stubborn, and she rarely uses lies to deceive even monsters.
"Even if it sounds unbelievable, if it's something you said, Natsume, I'll consider it for a bit and then believe it!"
It awkwardly changed its wording, but the meaning was clear.
It believed Natsume not because the matter itself sounded reasonable, but because the person who said it was Natsume Takashi.
Upon hearing this, Natsume Takashi paused slightly in his struggle, as if something had gently touched the softest part of his heart.
The unreserved trust behind the cat teacher's words left him speechless for a moment. Then, a feeling mixed with apology and a deeper warmth welled up in his heart.
He stopped his futile resistance, letting the cat teacher "ravage" his head, only letting out a soft sigh, and then revealing a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry, Nyanko-sensei, it was my oversight."
He reached out and picked up the fat cat that was still sulking on his head, held it in his arms, and gently stroked the fur on its back.
"I won't hide it from you anymore."
"I will tell you everything about that place."
"Hmph! That's pretty much it!"
The cat teacher felt comfortable being stroked by him, and his anger level visibly decreased, but he still snorted arrogantly and then patted Natsume's arm with his paw.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and take out the food from that red envelope! I want to try it! If it doesn't taste good, I won't easily forgive you for keeping this from me!"
Takashi Natsume chuckled, shook his head, and with a slight thought, retrieved the dishes from the red envelopes sent by Chef Natsume and Erina from the chat group's space.
Because there were so many dishes in the red envelope, they were stored in my space immediately after I received them.
He took out something that looked like a lobster.
In an instant, a fragrance that seemed to awaken the deepest desires of the soul filled the room.
