Here's next chapter! Please REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! AND ASK QUESTIONS FOR THE HOSHIENGER SEMINAR! ASK! ASK! ASK!


Everyone: Hoshienger Seminar!

Genta: Well, I've been showing Mako-chan here the ropes of sushi!

DaiGoyou: You keep crushing the rice!

Genta: *glares at him* Shut up, DaiGoyou!

Naruto: Niisan and I have been sparring with the others to help make them stronger.

Forrest: You mean my GekiJyuKen's been whupping you bums!

Meiru: You already know Hope-chan and I have been setting up our own workplace! *looks over at Hope, slumped in a corner with a blue area above her* I'm still trying to get her happy while her son's OOC.

Gentaro: Out of Character?

Meiru: Out of Commission…*sighs* Teens these days…


Kivat: Kivat's Corner! *hangs from the inside of a hollowed-out violin* Hello, this is 'Kivat's Corner,' a new segment that will appear at the start of each chapter. Modigliani was a great artist born in Italy in 1884. His portraits have deep eyes that look upon you and long necks. His portrait of Jeanne is particularly famous. *holds it up and licks his lips at seeing the neck*


"Oh my…" Meiru whispered.

"This is just getting worse and worse," Saito whispered, "First they're using still-living NetNavis and now they're using ones they've recreated and fused with that need Life Energy to survive."

"I'm more worried about my son than that," Medi sighed, "It's clear that he's starting to develop something akin to obsessive insanity with those two."

"Just what is with him and that armor masking him?" Genta frowned.

"You're one to talk, same as me," Gou frowned.

"I'll put up an APB on him to avoid at all costs," Ronin spoke, "Shooting Star Kiva…You said he had a bat he called 'Kivat,' right?"

"Yes."

"I've heard of Kivat before in myths. Kivat is the name of Dracula's first son and the one who was considered the strongest vampire in existence," Philip explained, "If a bat that turns your son into Kiva is using that name, you'll need to be careful of them both."

"So…How goes finding WarRock, nya?" Copy asked.

"Bad. It's like he's not even on the planet anymore," Shoutarou replied, 'Some visit this has turned out to be…'

"Do a search. He may be hiding in the Planet's Bookshelves," Ryuu noted.

"Huh?" Gentarou pondered.

"He is connected to the earth's knowledge itself. You want to know anything, ask him," Shoutarou explained.

"Hai," Philip nodded as he assumed the position, appearing in the bookshelves, "WarRock? WarRock!"

"What?" the AM-Ian, resembling his original self, snapped as he looked up from his detective novel behind Philip.

"Oh, there you are," Philip said before punching WarRock in the face.

"What the fuck?-!" WarRock growled as Philip walked up to the downed AM-Ian.

"Shoutarou taught this to me," Philip explained before holding his hand out to the downed AM-Ian, "In this ritual, we make up after the punch."

"Tch…Hard-boiled method," WarRock smirked as he took the offer.

"A detective novel?" Philip pondered.

"What? It helps me calm down, okay?" WarRock asked before the cover fell off, revealing the true title.


The wind blew softly just outside of town. The animals nearby suddenly tensed as they ran off. A portal twice the size of a human erupted in the middle of the area. From the portal, three figures emerged. The first was a man in his thirties or forties with his black hair slicked back and a pair of goggles around his neck. He wore a red sweater-vest over a white button shirt and a white lab coat. He wore a pair of brown pants with black shoes and a gold pocket watch. The other two were hidden by a pair of cloaks.

"Thank you for this, Professor Paradox," the first figure bowed.

"It was nothing at all, young one," Paradox replied, "You did a great thing, both of you. It's thanks to you both that we were able to distract…"

"That hasn't happened…yet," the first figure giggled.

"Oh, and have fun getting to know a Space Rider," Paradox chuckled.

"Huh?" the figure looked at Paradox…only to see he wasn't there, "Kami, I fuckin' hate when he does that!"

"Yes. But now we can resume life here," the second figure noted.

"True…Man…It's been some long years since I've been here," the first figure reminisced, "Well, time to check things out!"


*MUSIC START*

The world we live in now runs on Denpa Technology. However, this has enabled a race of aliens to try and destroy it by fueling up their key of destruction: Andromeda. However, a group of warrior will protect this world. They are…Nagareboshi Sentai Hoshienger!

miageru hoshi sorezore no rekishi ga kagayaite (The stars I look up to, history is written on it)

*The scene changes to Geo looking up at the stars when different colored lights formed the multiple constellations in the sky. He slid his Visualizer over his eyes and the lights changed into the FM-Ians and AM-Ians he had met/fought. He narrowed his eyes at the XIII Members*

seiza no you sen de musubu shunkan hajimaru legend (Like a constellation, the instant the lines connect it starts a legend)

*WarRock appeared at his side in a burst of green flames as Sonia, Grey, Silva, Ace, Marcus, Pat, Solo, Genta, and Naruto ran up to his sides, each with their partners. They turned to each of them and gave a nod. It cut to a dark background that exploded with a supernova*

aurora yurameku jikuu wo koete (Aurora passing through the flickering time)

*The supernova split up and became the AM Sages. The sages then transformed into cards and shot towards Geo, Sonia, Solo, and Rayne*

tobikomu meisou suru Parallel world (Dive into the straying Parallel World)

*Everyone looked at each other and gave a nod. They rose their Transer Cells, Model A, and the SushiChanger into the air and multicolored lights erupted from them, transforming them into their alternate personas*

On the road dare mo tabi no tochuu honto no jibunjishin deau tame (On the road, everyone is on a journey in order to find their real selves)

*The team raced across the Wave Roads as the background changed into various scenes. It cut to various cuts of everyone fighting Jammers, FM-Ian Fangires, and Viruses*

arukitsuzukeru no sa ima wo We are all travelers (Still riding on now, we are all travelers)

*It cut to the XIII as each of them were lined up with all but XIII in the center revealed as their NetNavi selves before changing into their Denpa Forms. It zoomed in to XIII as he was pulling something out*

boku no me no mae ni hirogaru kokonotsu no michi wa itsuka kasanatte (Stretching out in front of my eyes, the nine roads will someday overlap)

*It changed to Alcance as he was standing before a stained-glass mirror. The mirror cracked before collapsing at Alcance's feet. The camera moved up to reveal Shooting Star Kiva in place of Alcance, the Monster Arms at his sides with Castle Doran roaring in the background*

atarashii yoake e to tsuzuku michi ni kawaru no darou (I will be changed on the road that heads on to a new dawn)

*The screen cut to the allies the team had with a series of cuts of the Origami and their combinations, and then Rockman holding up the Star Breaks and his Xtreme Noise Data, changing into each form before ending with Xtreme AM Sage Kaiser Rockman*

mokugekise yo Journey through the decade (Witness the Journey through the decade)

*It cut to a revolving shot of Rockman and Kiva standing before Cepheus as a massive shadow stood over the FM-Ian King. His eyes narrowed before the others appeared at his sides. They gave a charge and the title appeared*

*MUSIC END*


"Look, I know I should be back at Amanogawa, but there hasn't been any Zodiarts, right?" Gentarou asked as he talked on his NS MagPhone.

=None yet= Kengo scowled on the other line.

"Plus, we have Meteor there," Gentarou added.

=That's true, Gen-chan= Yuki noted.

"Plus, we have two weeks left for summer," Gentarou added, "So I'll be back before school starts up again, okay? Right now, I have a friend who's troubled about his friend going missing."

Nearby, Geo rubbed the stub again as he looked out on his favorite spot. He put on his Visualizers and looked up at the sky. Seeing the small Denpa shapes flittering across the starry sky always helped him. However, it just made him remember WarRock at the moment. He took them off and laid down on the grass. He sighed, unaware of a figure glaring at him in a tree, the glare filled with…hunger.

The Receiver went off. Shoutarou looked up from his hand with Ryuu, Saito, and Dr. Wing as the normal routine went off. This time, Grey got the marker from the Kuroko-san.

"It's at Vista Point," Grey replied.

=That's where Geo went!= Model A gasped.

"Hurry!" Sonia called out as she turned into Lyra Note and dashed off on the wave roads.

"Oi, Philip! Let's get going!" Shoutarou ordered as he flicked Philip on the forehead, "Huh? Oi, Philip, get out of the bookshelves already!"

"Huh? But I was talking with WarRock," Philip, out of the bookshelves, replied.

"What?-! Where is he? When I see him…" Copy hissed.

"He didn't say. He's just staying in the Planet's Bookshelves until he's ready to come out," Philip replied.

"Let's go, Philip," Shoutarou ordered.

=JOKER=

"Hai."

=CYCLONE=

=ACCEL=

"Henshin!"

"Hen…Shin!"

=CYCLONEJOKER=

=ACCEL=

Geo screamed as he jumped out of the way of a slash. Near him was a human-sized figure. It stood upon its hind legs while seemingly all white. Its body was covered in ivy and white fur with black stripes. Its head was that of a tiger's head. What really got him was that various areas on its body were made with what seemed to be stained glass. He roared while raising its blade.

=3=

=2=

=1=

"Henshin!" Gentarou declared before he turned into Fourze.

=ROCKET ON=

"Uchu…Kitaaaaaaa~!-!-!" Fourze roared as he shot off at the Fangire FM-Ian, the Kaijin jumped over the Rider.

"Burning Wheel!"

The White Tiger Fangire changed frequencies and dodged the flaming wheel. A small whistling tune went through the air before a figure began to approach. Geo's eyes widened in shock and awe.

"R-Rayne?-!" Geo gasped.

"Eh?" Fourze looked over in the direction Geo was looking at.

The moonlight fell upon the figure, revealing it to be Rayne. She was taller by a good foot and a half with her hair now ending at her hips. Her figure had developed to a model's figure with a pair of C-Cup breasts. She wore a gentlemen's outfit with armored dress shoes. In her mouth was a stick of cinnamon while her left arm had a strange device on it, colored in black and flame designs. Beside her was a figure resembling a biker in all black with fire designs on the helmet, arms, and torso. The lower half of the figure was just fire-colored Denpa.

"I leave for a few months and what do I come back to? You missing your arm and a new guy being here, the two of you trying to fight a stupid cat that's insulting some of my friends in appearance! For fuck's sake, Geo!" Rayne growled, "Turbo, ikuze."

"Hai, Lady Rayne," the man nodded.

"T-Turbo?-!" Geo gawked.

"VG Hunter: Model Next Gen! Denpa Henshin!"

Turbo engulfed Rayne in a swirl of flames. The flames dispersed to reveal Turbo Duel, but modified. Her outfit was a fusion of her gentlemen's outfit and her previous Turbo Duel uniform. The boots were bulkier with flaming wheels on both sides. The arms were covered by flame-designed gauntlets while a leather jacket missing its sleeves was over her chest. Her face mask now covered her entire head and resembled a biker's helmet with a gold star as the visor. Her hair emerged from an opening in the back, but made of flames.

"Yo! Nitro's in the house!" the girl grinned as she posed, "Ore Sanjou!"

"Oi! Who's that?" Double asked as the fighters began to run up.

"Rayne?-!" Lyra Phoenix gasped.

"Lyra Note? Wow! Girl, you've grown since I saw you last," the girl smirked as she began to squeeze Lyra Phoenix's breasts.

"Ah! R-Rayne?-!" Lyra Phoenix squeaked as she moved away, those watching blushing heavily at what the other girl just did.

"Name's 'Nitro' now," the teen smirked as she turned to the Fangire.

"S…Sugoi…" Fourze awed.

"Interloper!" the FM-Ian Fangire snarled, "You will pay for interfering with my meal!"

"Whatever," Nitro snorted before stopping, "On second thought, why don't you deal with it?"

"Seems you've improved since you left, bitch," a voice said before everyone but Nitro turned to see Alcance approach.

"A-Alcance…" Geo gasped.

"Kivat."

"Yosh! Kivat ikuze!" Kivat declared as he was caught by Alcance.

=BITE!=

"Henshin!" Alcance declared as he transformed into Kiva.

"Perhaps it's time for you to see the power of the Arms Monsters," Kivat said, "Kiva, take the blue Fuestle and put it into my mouth."

Kiva nodded. His left hand moved over the left side of his belt. He quickly took one of the strange whistles. It was clear with a blue, wolf-shaped head. He put the whistle into Kivat's open mouth and closed it.

=GARURU SABER!-!-!=


"Check…mate," Dogma stated as he moved his Rook in position.

"Nani?-! But how?-!" Garuru exclaimed before the trio heard a whistle, "Seems to be my turn. Guess I'll go out and breathe in the air of the corrupt world."

He calmly got up and began to walk off. Within the hallways of Castle Doran, the torches lit up magically, illuminating the area much better than any light bulb. Garuru crackled his knuckles before howling. Blue chains wrapped around his body before shattering, revealing a blue statue resembling him. Outside, Castle Doran roared and began to fly towards the battle.


"Nani?-! Who's this guy? And who's the girl?" ShinkenGold asked as he ran up.

A roar startled the newcomers and the FM-Ian. They looked up to see Castle Doran flying towards them. The dragon castle fired a ball of flames at Kiva. He held up his left arm and caught the fireball. As soon as it was in Kiva's left hand, it unfolded into a sword with a wavy blade similar to a Kris and a wolf's head on the hilt. Chains wrapped around his left arm and shattered, revealing blue armor and the shoulder was now shaped like a wolf's paw. The chains wrapped around his chest plate and shattered as well, revealing a blue chest plate with silver claw marks on the sided. The yellow visor turned blue along with Kivat's eyes. Kiva landed in a crouch, his new weapon rested on his shoulder. He unleashed a howl before charging at the FM-Ian. The wolf-themed FM-Ian barely dodged when Kiva-Garuru appeared before the wolf FM-Ian and got five slashes in before kicking him away.

"N-Nani?-! He's fast!" Axl gasped.

"Oi! That's not fair!" ShinkenGold growled, "Why is he taking it on and not letting us in?"

"Because he thinks we're beneath him," Nitro replied before smirking, "At least…that's my guess."

"Then I'll show him," Fourze frowned.

=ELEK. ELEK ON!=

Fourze's body sparked before black and yellow energy taiko drums appeared before Fourze. They slammed onto his body, turning all but the armor on his left arm and legs gold and black with lightning designs, the 'drums' going up the sides of his chest. His helmet had gained black lightning designs while the eyes were green. In his right arm, now gold, was a gold crossing guard-themed sword with a plug attached to the side. With that, Nitro vanished. Burn marks began to form all over the FM-Fangire before exploding. Kiva-Garuru howled before aiming the sword's face at the beast. The 'jaw' opened and unleashed a powerful howl at it, knocking it back into a tree. Fourze: Elek States plugged the plug into a slot on the left. The blade sparked before he began to electrocute the Kaijin with his slashes.

"Now, Kiva! Time to finish this!" Kivat declared.

=GARURU BITE!=

Cue: Kamen Rider Kiva OST – Track 1

"My thoughts exactly," Nitro smirked as she took out a card with a gold tire on the back, "Predation: Finishing Move."

=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: N-N-N-NITRO!=

Nitro bent down with one knee, yet keeping it a foot off the ground, as her right leg was ignited in blue flames, green erupting at the tips. Nearby, Kiva-Garuru put his sword down to Kivat's mouth, letting the bat bite on the blade and cause blue energy to seep through it. His 'mouth' opened up and let Kiva bite down on the blade's handle. Beside them, Fourze slid the Elek Switch into the handle of the sword.

=LIMIT BREAK=

"Rider Hyaku Oku Volt Break!" Fourze: Elek States roared as he charged, his blade erupting in lightning.

A blue mist swept through the ground, leaving everything clear above the knees while the grass grew at an alarming rate around the White Tiger FM-Fangire. A blue full moon appeared above Kiva-Garuru before he jumped high in the air, reaching the center of the moon. Nitro preformed a spin as she jumped, equaling Kiva-Garuru's height in the jump. The male began to do a barrel spin as his blade began to erupt with a blue light as Nitro preformed a falling side kick. The three attacks collided and created the image of a flaming, electric-coated Garuru head before the Jammer Fangire exploded. Castle Doran flew overhead with a roar as she ate the 'soul.' Kiva-Garuru howled before making a jump that easily got him on Castle Doran's back before the dragon flew off.


"So you're Rayne?" Genta pondered.

"Hai. You're Genta, ShinkenGold of the Shinkengers, also known as the 33rd Super Sentai," Rayne noted, "You're a Sushi Seller and proud owner of the 'Gold Sushi.'"

"How did you…" Genta gawked.

"A friend of mine ate at your place once and got your autograph," Rayne explained, "Gai Ikari, I believe."

"Oh! My best customer!" Genta beamed proudly.

"Gai-san?" Sonia pondered.

"Yep!" Rayne grinned before taking out a small key resembling ShinkenGold with a silver briefcase and giving them to Genta, "And these are for you."

"My Ranger Key!" Genta exclaimed with joy, "…What's with the case?"

"It's for later and it's from Shiba Takeru. It's nice to see you've all gotten stronger, too," Rayne noted as she looked about before her eyes landed on Geo, "…What the heck happened to your arm?"

"He lost it using a Twin Maximum Drive," Shoutarou explained.

"Which we told him to not use," Philip added.

"And Rocky?"

"…He…"

"The jerk left, didn't he?" Rayne asked, earning a flinch from Geo, "…I see…Well then. I believe that I need to cheer you all up!"

"Nani?" Hope gasped as Rayne walked outside.

"Trust me. A good meal will lift spirits here," Rayne explained, "But to do that, I'll need my Gourmet World Fridge out."

"Gourmet World Fridge?" everyone but Geo repeated, Philip the only one with the highest amount of fascination.

Rayne reached behind her back and a massive fridge a fourth the size of the mansion's height and a twentieth its length appeared behind her. Everyone fell onto their rears in shock at the sheer size of it. Rayne turned to it and opened up a small door on the left side. The door slammed shut and the sounds of roars and shrieks erupted from behind it. After an hour within, the larger door swung open and a whistling Rayne walked out, dragging out a variety of massive beasts, all killed. The door closed once the last beast was removed.

"Yo! I need the kitchen!" Rayne ordered.

"R-Rayne…" Meiru gulped.

"She's gotten scary…" Saito shivered as the other men that knew her nodded feverously.

The Kuroko-san quickly led Rayne into the kitchen with her beasts. Genta slowly followed with Hope and Meiru. They all gawked as they saw what Rayne was doing. All the ovens and stoves were lit up with pots and pans at the ready on the open flames. Her movements were a blur, yet also that of an elegant dance. Various scents filled the air as Rayne prepared the meats. She held up a gold acorn the size of a basketball and held her right hand up. Within a second, the entire acorn was sliced to bits.

"Well, set up the table please!" Rayne ordered/requested.

"Just what did that trip do to her?" Meiru gulped as the three began to set up the table.

"I don't know," Hope replied.

"Did you see how she filleted that fish?" Genta asked, "She didn't even use a knife! She used her pinky! Her pinky!"

"Oi! Genta-san, get in here!" Rayne ordered.

"Yosh!" Genta exclaimed as he entered the kitchen.

There, he saw Rayne standing in front of a pile of small white fish. They were all set between 50cm and 60cm in size and were a solid white. Genta blinked at the pile, consisting of twenty-six of them. He also noted that Philip was looking at Rayne nearby, his eyes showing the pure joy he was having while his face seemed to be in constant thought.

"They're Deaphnia Whales or, to be more precise, Puffer Whales," Rayne explained, "A deep-sea fish that is normally six meters in length."

"Nani?-!" Genta gasped.

"However, due to the water pressure of the sea depth they thrive in compresses them to a size about as small as a normal puffer fish and it is known as a deep-sea delicacy," Rayne continued, "It has an extremely potent .2 MG nerve poison in a sack upon its body. This is where all the wastes and poisons in its body are stored. The location is unique to each Puffer Whale, but all have one thing in common: Break the sack, the entire thing is poisoned. The taste isn't affected, though, which is why it's sold upon the black market. When they come into the markets, roughly 100,000 people die upon consuming the poisoned Puffer Whale meat."

"Then why do you have so many?-!" Genta asked.

"I caught them all. From the gill to the center of the head, at an oblique angle of 45 degrees… That is where you must strike instantaneously in order to capture a Puffer Whale," Rayne explained, "The concentration for capturing one small Puffer Whale can considerably whittle down one's stamina to such an extent. I can only capture three every five minutes."

"And how many are there?" Philip asked.

"Twenty-six."

"No wonder you took so long," Philip noted.

"But why do you want me in here?" Genta snorted.

"I'm going to teach you how to remove the poison sack," Rayne explained, "There are three factors that make the Puffer Whale a high-level Capture: the chance of a person getting close enough without scaring the Puffer Whale, which can cause the poison sack to rupture, is roughly twenty-five percent, the changes of someone effectively knocking out the fish is roughly five percent, and the chances of removing the poison sack without breaking it is 0.1 percent."

"Yosh! I'll do my best!" Genta declared, "Don't get mad at me if I fail them all."

"I will get mad!-! Come on, Genta!-!" Rayne snapped before clearing her throat, "My bad. Now then, I'll tell you where to cut, got it?"

"Hai," Genta nodded.

"The whale's poison sack is just below its air bladder for this one," Rayne noted.

"Fascinating. How you prepare the whale depends on where its poison sack is. One wrong move and it poisons itself. It's a lot like removing a piece from a tall stack of jenga blocks. You have to extract the poison without disturbing anything else!" Philip noted as Genta took out a knife.

'Interesting…The finish is so smooth it looks like liquid. This knife is masterfully carved and lovingly cared for…' Rayne thought, "Okay, Genta-san…First, from the fin's base at the point three knife widths down a 10 centimeter cut."

"Y-Yosh…" Genta gulped.

"Easy…" Rayne whispered as Genta began to cut.

'H-Holy…! It's rock solid! It's even thicker than one of Gedoushuu I once fought with Take-chan and the others when it was on its Second Life!-! The sheer mass is staggering to comprehend!' Genta thought as he stopped.

'He stopped at exactly the ten centimeter mark,' Rayne noted, "Next, insert your knife at the gill and sever the lower jaw from the body."

"Hai…"

"No hurry…" Rayne spoke as Genta sliced once more, 'He is good!' "Well done." 'He's a supreme slicer! Nothing less from a Samurai Sushi Seller, I guess!' "Next…"

As Rayne continued to instruct Genta, the Kuroko-san began to decorate the table with the various meals. Blue popcorn the size of a head was put on a large bowl while steaming steaks with a sauce were put on a long plate. There was so much food that the Kuroko-san had to set up tables outside. Sonia stayed next to Geo as everyone sat down. Within the kitchen, all but four Puffer Fish were poisoned with an additional one. Genta was on the last of the five good Puffer Fish with the other four set aide, their bodies glowing and were a solid gold color.

"…Yes…From there, remove the area from the sick shape around the gills to the gills. Slowly. If you clear off the abdomen to the fin…" Rayne continued before Genta stopped, "It's in sight. The Poison Sack!-!"

"I still can't believe that such a tiny sack can poison the whole thing," Genta frowned.

"I'm impressed, Genta-san, each fish you've done, it's gotten to the point you could get the poison sack," Rayne noted, "It's bare hands from here as usual, Genta-san. You must free the Poison Sack from the surrounding membrane without rupturing it."

"Okay…Got it…" Genta gulped, "Easy…Nice and easy…"

"Towards this side, remove the mucus membrane. So you can gently scoop it up…Put the Poison Sack in the palm of one hand…add the reverse hand on the other side and remove the mucus membrane with care…Gently…Not disconcerted, slowly…"

Genta slowly pulled his hands out. He slowly opened his hands to reveal the poison sack within. The fish turned into its brilliant gold glowing state as Genta threw the Poison Sack away with the poisoned Puffer Whales.

"Congrats, Umemori Genta, you can now be known as one of the few Chefs in the world that can remove a Puffer Whale's Poison Sack," Rayne smirked, "For that, take all but one Puffer Whale."

"Eh?-!"

"The tongue is a high concentration of fat and, when heated, turns into oil. This oil can be used over and over and over again without aging. The organs have a high concentration of nutrients and energy. Once you eat it raw, you can work ten whole days in a row without needing a wink of sleep. The meat is moistened as rice cakes and they have an energizing effect much like the organs, but less concentrated. And its backfin…You can make one of the best soups. It won't even lose a bit of taste for 3 whole years even if you used it the entire three years without stop. Plus, it makes the most delicious Puffer Fin Sake you've ever drank."

"Rayne…I…Arigatou!" Genta bowed.

"Maa, maa, it's okay. Now let's get to work!" Rayne nodded, "I'll work on the soup and sake. You slice the rest up perfectly."

"Yosh!" Genta saluted.

"Philip-kun, you can go outside with the others now."

Philip nodded as he walked out. He soon went over and sat beside Shoutarou while he was at the other side of Geo.

"Saa, what took you so long?" Shoutarou asked.

"They're preparing the fish dish right now along with the soup and our sake," Philip replied.

"S-Sake?-!" Meiru gasped, "But she's too young to…"

"I did a lookup on her in the Planetary Shelves. She's had so much alcohol in her body in one sitting that it could kill half the populace in Netopia, yet all she had was a slight buzz," Philip explained, "She's more than a normal human now. Her body is made of fifty percent of Gourmet Cells."

"Gourmet Cells?"

"'Special all-purpose cells, equipped with excellent regeneration abilities and life force energy which come from Phantom Jellyfishes which inhabit the deep sea. These cells can be harvested and combined with other cell structures to improve and extend their strength. When used on ingredients, their flavors improve producing a more delicious version of the original. But when successfully used on a human body, the results grant the user overwhelming life force power 'True Power' becoming superhuman,'" Philip recited from his book, "'When these individuals feast on high class or rare ingredient containing foods, their gourmet cells 'Level Up' increasing both their strength and power. The only known drawback is that if the users body is not compatible with the cells, they lose their powers and in the worst case scenario death will occur. Although it was discovered 605 years ago its power was demonstrated much earlier shown by the fact that cave people were able to kill a Regal Mammoth which is only possible though gourmet cells which is the only way have to superhuman powers.'"

"Phantom Jellyfish? Regal Mammoth?" Saito repeated.

"Yes. You see that pile of meat there?" Philip asked as he pointed a large pile of meat, glistening and lighting up the night sky, "That is Jewel Meat. The Jewel Meat is a part of the Regal Mammoth that combines the taste of all the different parts of an animal with an incandescent lamp like radiance that dulls jewels and lights up a night sky. As a result, it provides light to the entire Regal Mammoth's body. As it's located in a different location in every mammoth, however, it's almost impossible to find. Merely a piece causes the juices to fly in the air in a glittering stream comparable to fireworks."

"R-Really?" Sonia gasped.

"Different parts of the Jewel Meat also have different textures and flavor, some pieces tasting more like one type of meat than other types. It is shown that it can be eaten raw and that the size of the Jewel meat is proportional to the size of the Regal Mammoth it was harvested from. It takes decades for the Jewel Meat to regrow in a Regal Mammoth after the meat is harvested. The Jewel Meat can also be preserved, apparently through drying the meat, though it will lose its glow and some of its taste," Philip continued, "In fact…many consider the offering of Jewel Meat as a wedding ring."

"A…All that was from the bookshelves?-!" Shoutarou gawked.

"Hai," Philip nodded, "It seems that with each new beast Rayne brings out of her Gourmet World Fridge, it adds that to the Planetary Shelves. I have a theory; if I were to enter her Gourmet World Fridge, the Planetary Shelves would obtain the knowledge of this 'Gourmet World' to add to its collection."

"I see…But why is she making all this food?" Hope asked.

"Half this meal is her own while the rest is for us and the Kuroko-San," Philip replied, "Due to the Gourmet Cells, she needs to eat within twelve hours or her body will start to eat itself in order to gain sustenance."

"Dinner is served!" Rayne declared as she and Genta walked out with a cart filled with Puffer Whale Sashimi and Puffer Fin Sake and Puffer Fin Soup.

"And all of this came from just one!" Genta grinned, "Can you believe it? A single, little Puffer Whale made all of this!"

"Oi! Kuroko-san, get your bums over to the table! When I make a feast, it's for everyone in the place! That includes you guys and girls!" Rayne ordered as she pointed at the masked men and women.

The Kuroko-san gawked behind their masks. When none of them moved, Rayne fumed a bit. She marched over to the one she thought was the head and kicked him into a seat. The others, in fear of that happening to them, quickly raced to the table and took their seats. Everyone sat about the rather large set of tables and meals. Rayne brought her hands together into an open-palm praying position.

"I give my thanks to all the food in this world. Itadakimasu," Rayne prayed.

With that, everyone prepared their plates. Rayne made sure that everyone but the teens had a Puffer Fin Sake as their drink. The teens were all given a special rainbow-colored drink along with Philip.

"This is Rainbow Fruit Juice," Rayne explained, "Try it."

Ashe picked up her sake cup and sniffed it as Genta drank his, "Aaaah…savory."

'With the dry taste from the atsukan, the fin's sweetness is much more prominent,' Genta thought as he swallowed, "Haaaaa! Delicious…"

'Uooo!-? 1! 2!-! Wha…3!-! 4!-!-! Is…Is this even possible? It's already changed its taste 4 times inside my mouth…' Geo thought, 'Fully ripe mango…hundreds of them concentrated together in this sweetness and the sourness incomparable to lemon or kiwi fruits surfaces now and then! …5!-!-! What the hell?-! The fragrant of the roasted chestnuts! Ahhh…Is the taste departing?' Geo swallowed and his eyes shot open 'S-Six…Even when it went down my throat…it still has the unbelievable existence…'

'The amount of time it takes the blood to travel the whole body is roughly a minute, enough to make that feel like forever,' Philip thought as he drank his Rainbow Fruit Juice.

'…7!-!-!' Gentarou thought as he began to cry, "So good…"

"I…I can't believe such a fruit exists…" Sonia sniffled.

"Why…Why can't I stop crying?" Naruto sniffled.

"It's too good~!" Chris sobbed, "I'm crying over this taste!"

"It so delicious!" all the teens exclaimed.

"Puffer Whale Sashimi!" Saito declared as he picked up a piece, "It's body shining with pink…It's got the swing on being like it's completely frosted in beef. Here, it's closer to a puffer fish than whale's meat…Itadakimasu."

With that, everyone began to take a piece of the Sashimi (enough for one each for the whole mansion). Many mouths began to drool as they chewed.

'The tasty fat is spreading all around my mouth…'

'So swee~et…'

'It's like real quality tuna how it doesn't dissolve and disappear in my mouth.'

'Like puffer fish, it's firm. Consistency doesn't go away while being chewed.'

'If I bite, as much as I bite, the deliciousness spreads!-!'

'The smell is prominent!-!'

'The flavor is coming out steadily!-!'

'I can't see the end!-!'

'It's like I'm in the depths of the sea. I can't see the bottom of the deliciousness,' everyone thought, 'Unending bliss...'

'The 'The want to eat even if I die meat!-!''

'Even if it 'becomes poisonous' taking the dark route of marketing it…!-!'

Everyone swallowed at once.

'Ooh!-?'

'The bliss hasn't ended…!-!'

'The deliciousness remains!-!'

'My body is filling with pleasure!-! All at once my fatigue was blown away!-!'

'It's the Puffer Whale's internal organs 'nourishment mania effect' that Rayne-Chan told me about…The 'body' is also considerable!-!' Philip thought.

"Genta-san! How is it, the Puffer Whale you prepared yourself?" Rayne asked as she saw the look of sheer bliss on the man's face.

"It's delicious!-! It's beyond any sashimi or even any fish I've ever served before!-!" Genta cried into his arm.

The celebration continued long into the night. Many of the Kuroko-San, who were content in their meals, began to play music. Even if it were for just a little bit, Geo was acting like his old self and was smiling and laughing and enjoying the joy.
