The brave men and women who raised their level at once with the effect of the "Struggler" continued their rapid march.
　They are said to be showing a single combatant's success against the mysterious invading army.

　Or rather, what is this mysterious invasion army?
　If it's not the Demon King's Army, then it's probably some mutated monster or something?　Or is it interference from a parallel universe?

　No, maybe it's a line of invasion from another world?
　Then the forces that come to mind are Anse-Baal's army, Angel Fleet, and Megamikran.
　I don't hear of the brave men struggling, so I don't think it's likely that they're world-eaters or apostles of the stars.
　If it's Ans-Baal's army and Angel Fleet, I don't mind playing with them myself, and they're not the enemies of the brave men who have leveled up.

　It's the Megamikulan that's the trouble.

　If they find out that I'm in this other world, all sorts of awkwardness will ensue.
　Depending on who I'm coming up against, it would be troublesome to accomplish the pledge, and I definitely want to avoid it.

　Then, rather than risk it, I should stay put and let the brave men grow up and save this world.
　If the pledge is "let the brave save the world" or something like that, then I'm not one of them.
　I'm going to continue to use the console cheats to produce the brave men and women.

　So, let's get serious about achieving my pledge.

　First, I'll use the console to get all the soldiers on the front lines to level 150.
　Those mobs are set up with the same basic ID, so it's easy to level them all at once.

　By the way, the level cap of 99 was put on the world level, but I removed it without question.
　Maybe this other world god did it to maintain order, but there's no balance or anything else when the world is being invaded.
　We can just put it back later anyway.

　Plus, if you set it to "Immortality setting = Enable" so that if you die, you won't lose in the first place.
　I'd also give her the "Resurrection Character" ability of "100" so that her HP regains full strength when she comes back to life. That's a great service, huh?

　The heroes, including Ituna, have already been set to immortality, so at least as long as they are in this other world, they won't die from anything other than old age.
　Even if I'm not here, I'm fully aware of the three of them, and I can tweak their statuses while I'm in the castle.
　I can even bring Ituna into my possession the moment I achieve my pledge.

　This is how I used to do it, I used to abuse console commands to raise my level.
　However, the strength you gain from your level is completely useless against a ranked cheat ability (holder).
　Training magic wave is more stable in various ways, and it makes more sense.

　By the way, if you set a level on the console, your strength returns to the original level when you go to another world.
　But if you gain experience points by yourself and grow, you can carry your strength to other worlds.
　This is one of the reasons why only the braves are "hard-working" and compensated to grow.
　And in case Chi-boy or JK-chan are summoned to another world, they are strong and can play a new game.

　By the way, you can also carry over the items you've produced by putting them in the item box, kukku.
　So you won't have to worry about fair tiki anymore.
　But I won't stop researching fair tiki recreations forever.
　It's my life's work!

'Anyway, since the brave cannot be defeated, it's only a matter of time before they achieve their pledge.
Wow!

　When I called Ituna up at the console in the room the castle had assigned me to, I explained the situation, and she gave me a twinkle in her eye.

''Then I'm getting stronger!
Oh.

　I make a smug face, and Ituna snorts as she puts her finger to her chin, "Mmmm.

'But wouldn't it be unfair if Cianne-san didn't get stronger too?
Hmm, come to think of it.

　It's true that the gap between Sianne and Ituna, which has narrowed, is widening again.
　Anyway, I'll try to train Xianne with other imitation types sooner or later.
　It's a good idea to train her with a mimetic type that makes her look like a scum of the human personality.
　No, I know it sounds like a lie, but seriously, that's the kind of other world we live in.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. Ituna, just do your best to be a hero in Ituna.
Yeah?　Yeah, okay!

　When I replied honestly, Ituna told me stories about being on the front lines and such.
　There was something about how Chi-Bo would protrude and get hit by an invading monster and then wake up and repeat.
　If he hadn't been set up to be immortal, he would have died, that's what.

　Surprisingly, JK-chan and I hit it off and talked about our memories of our home planet.

I felt like going home for a bit.

　Ituna has a smile on her face that will make anyone who sees her feel relieved.
　I see, Ituna still has the feeling of wanting to go back to her world.
　It's a far cry from the way I've lived my entire life just for the sake of fair tiki.

''Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the next party with good food!
Really?　Yes!

　I'm sure Jaborn III said that the brave men would make a triumphant return to the city and host a party in the Hanging Gardens.
　Let's give those two some decent food other than hamburgers anyway. Mm-hm.　



"Okay, I think we have everything we need.

　I finished arranging the utensils and ingredients in the cooking area.
　Most of the ingredients are unique to this other world that I asked Jaborn III to prepare, but only the seasonings that were inevitably difficult to procure were taken out of our own item box.
　Bissett and the other cooks are also making their own dishes, but they occasionally glance at me.
　They seem to be curious about the food I make.

''However, this time it's not a top-secret recipe like Fairchick's...''

　What can I say, but I'm confident that I can satisfy everyone.
　Cooking magic will inevitably diminish the flavor, and I still have to make it with my own hands.

　First of all, the ingredients I'm going to lay out on the cutting board are garlic.
　This is chopped up into small pieces using a knife a reverse scale crimp.

'Wow, wow.......I can't see the chef's hand blurring!
What a knife-worker!

　Overhearing the gallery, the next step is to draw the olive oil in the pan.
　As I warm this thing up slowly over low heat, I adjust my left eye to infrared vision, looking directly at the thermal conductivity of the frying pan.
　This way, I could switch to normal vision by just blinking, and I wouldn't have to change my vision every time.

'Too much heat...'

　It is true that fire is the life of the dish, but it is not good if it is strong.
　In this case, the garlic will be burnt.
　At that point, the dish I'm trying to make now is a failure.

　I quickly used the flame control cheat to adjust the flame to low.

That's it.

　The temperature of the frying pan was just right, so I threw in the garlic.
　The fragrant aroma of garlic spread through the kitchen, but as expected, the noses of the seasoned cooks didn't waggle.
　Here, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't sliced the onion into thin slices.

'Ni, I'm slicing the onions thinly in the air while heating up the garlic!
I'm working on two things at once and it's not a chore!

　Thanks for the explanation.
　While instantly adding the sliced onions on the pan, they cook slowly over low heat.
　After a while, the onions became transparent.
　Finally, it's time for the main course.

　I soaked them in seawater and put in the sorrel that I had cleaned beforehand.
　The one that made a crunching sound in the frying pan was a clam.
　Unfortunately, the clam equivalent in this other world was a monster and a big taste, so this guy was on his own.
　For that, I can guarantee the taste.

　And now here comes the gem that I rated the best in this other world.

''Chef you're not going to use that thing in your cooking?
Yes, I will.

　Bissette looks worried.
　I'm holding a wine bottle in my hand.
　I was about to pour the contents into the frying pan.

'But that white wine is a pertinent year, but because of the storm, there are a few...'
You can check the wine cellar later to see what's in stock.

　Bissett replies languidly, "Huh.

　It would be a shame to have so little good white wine.
　I've tasted it and it makes a great cooking wine.
　I tasted it and it's great for cooking.
　Well, I saved some for myself, too.

　Now that I've added the white wine and clams, I need to steam them for a minute or two.
　So I put a transparent force-field barrier on the pan instead of a lid.
　That way the steam can't escape and you can watch the progress of the clams without fogging up, unlike glass.

Okay, it's open.

　After a while, the clams exposed themselves with a series of crunches.
　When I lifted the force field barrier, that irresistible aroma of white wine mixed with clams tickled my nostrils.

'Well, you guys are going to have to wait for a while.

　Once the clams were evacuated to the plate, the tomatoes, the other main character, were added.
　As expected of the Royal Palace, I had good quality fresh tomatoes, so I added more than I was comfortable with.
　I adjusted the heat to lower than medium heat and covered it again with a transparent force field barrier.
　Watching the progress, I finally started on the main dishes.

'Well, if it's a quiz, it's about time you got an answer for what you're making.

　Take the slightly thicker noodles and dissolve the rock salt-based salt in the water that has been previously brought to a boil in a large pot and then add them to the water, turning them gently. Here, the heat is turned from high to medium.
　With this temperature and thickness, it takes just 8 minutes to make al dente.
　By the way, al dente means that the noodles are not fully cooked, but still have a hair's breadth of core and a bit of a crunch.
　It's what is commonly referred to as the best way to boil pasta.

　Yes, it's the best boiled pasta.
　The pasta I'm making is a pasta that is very popular among the Japanese.
　I'm sure that even Chi-boys eat this, and it should suit the palate of people from other worlds without a problem.

　I turn the frying pan to low heat again and wait for 3-4 minutes.
　If my calculations are correct, the pasta should be boiling a little after that.　

''Alright!''

　When I erased the force-field barrier with a spirited effort, I felt a rush of steam.
　Without fear, I telekinetically mash the tomatoes with my telekinetic powers.
　The tomatoes' juices, which were spreading slowly, splashed on the frying pan.

It's done!

　Barking at the meeting, I start the serving process.
　I place the boiled pasta on a platter and pour the pan-fried sauce on top of it.
　I distribute the clams evenly over it and sprinkle the black pepper, which is super precious in the other world.
　I put parsley on top for color and sprinkled sliced cheese on top.

''It's called Otherworldly Bongole Rosso!

　Bissett and the others are like, "Oh! And I'm amazed.
　Well, it's just that the ingredients are from another world, and it's just regular bongo rosso.

　Finally, increase it to 200 plates at the console, and voila!
