I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

"Ah! Oguri! How could you not hesitate at all!" exclaimed Shining Bright.

"Ardan! Help me!!"

Ardan Megumi twitched her ears, then raised her right hand and gently touched her cheek, saying, "Oh dear, it seems the wind is a bit strong, Mr. Orn. ​​Perhaps we should hurry back to the hotel."

Orn nodded and said, "Good, very good."

The four of them smiled at each other and carried the brand-new radiant light towards the hotel.

Chapter 157 The Destruction of the Empire

In the hotel cafeteria's kitchen, novice chefs were busily moving meticulously prepared food, but the seasoned chefs with their tall hats, usually a common sight here, were nowhere to be seen.

In the deepest room of the hotel kitchen, a large group of people stood silently. These senior chefs, adorned with gold medals from various culinary competitions, created a somber atmosphere.

A German chef with a small mustache, wearing a chef's hat and round glasses, was looking at the monitor beside him. Opposite him, a burly man in a dark green chef's uniform seemed to be explaining something.

"In the south, the target has already cleared out most of the food in the cooked food section, while her accomplices are helping to move the supplies."

"The target is now moving towards the dessert and snack area in the north of the cafeteria, while the other normal students are intimidated by the target's momentum and can only huddle in the main dining area in the east."

The head chef frowned, holding chopsticks in his hand, and gestured towards the monitoring area, saying, "If the steak section of the Western restaurant is operating at full capacity, everything will be fine."

The first mate in the pastry section, who had just spoken, looked at the first mate in the wok section on the other side. The first mate in the wok section, in turn, looked at the executive chef. And who was the executive chef looking at? He could only bite the bullet and say it himself.

"Hoo (takes a deep breath), Head Chef,"

"Western-style steak section........."

"The steak section in the Western restaurant area doesn't have enough staff or ingredients, so they've stopped making food."

The head chef stared at the monitor in front of him, watching the white monster relentlessly devour the culinary empire he had built from scratch, watching his formidable chefs, whom he had nurtured for decades, gradually begin to falter, become lax, and ultimately collapse.

He slowly raised his trembling hand, gently pinched his glasses, and placed them on the table.

"First mate of the wok station, first mate of the pastry station, executive chef, stay here, everyone else, leave."

The group exchanged glances, but wisely walked past the three men. After the last person left the room, the door closed.

"That was an order!!! Increasing production in the Western-style steak section was an order!! How could you ignore my order!!"

The head chef, gripping his chopsticks, roared hoarsely, "Has things come to this?! Every department has lied to me!! Even that bastard sitting in the monitoring room is the same!!"

"These branch managers are all disloyal and cowardly bastards!!"

"Coward!! Traitor!! Good-for-nothing!! You piece of trash who's getting in our way!!"

The first assistant chef in charge of pastry retorted, "Head chef, this is going a bit too far!"

The head chef interrupted in an even louder voice, "These department heads are utter scum of the hotel!!"

As he spoke, he angrily slammed the chopsticks in his hand onto the monitor screen.

"You're infuriating! (You have no sense of honor!)"

"You call yourselves chefs just because you spent a few years at the Global Culinary Institute! But all you learned was how to eat with a knife and fork!!"

The head chef grew increasingly angry as he spoke, his emotions reaching a breaking point.

"For so many years!! The chef's honor guard has only ever hindered my actions! All you've done is hold me back!!"

He clenched his fists and roared in a hoarse voice, "I should have dismissed all the... head chefs and demoted them to low-level waiters, just like Central Treson!"

Seemingly having exhausted his strength with his roar, the head chef slumped back into his chair, dejectedly saying, "I've never attended a professional academy, but I've almost single-handedly conquered the entire European region of Treise with my cuisine!"

The chefs were like children who had done something wrong, only able to stay around the head chef, listening to his constant roars and venting of their inner grief and anger.

"Sigh...it's over, it's all over,"

The head chef stared blankly at the ground, placed his chef's hat on the table beside him, and sighed, "It's over. The myth that our hotel can provide food for all horse girls has finally been shattered."

"Heh, I even wanted to compete with that old hag from the Central Government for the venue of the G1 Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun Cup, but I can't even satisfy a horse lady, so what's the point of talking about the G1 Food Competition!"

"Everyone, go back to your posts. It's all over."

The executive chef gave the head chef a deep look, sighed softly, patted his two companions, and slowly walked out of the secret room.

In the hotel cafeteria, Oguri Hat finished her cake, and under the horrified gazes of the chefs in the dessert section, she reached for the last piece of pastry.

But at that moment, another hand reached over from next door and grabbed Oguri Hat's wrist.

"A burden?"

"Kuri, stop now. Even with your appetite, you've eaten too much today."

Orn glanced at the Treson students watching from all around, then said, "If you keep eating like this, your body won't be able to take it."

"Bingeating will also delay tomorrow's training plan, it's time to stop."

Little Chestnut Hat patted her belly and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to Tuolei."

Ornn smiled and waved to the newly radiant girl beside him, signaling her to take her little chestnut hat and go back to the dormitory to rest.

The chefs, who breathed a sigh of relief, said to Orn, "Excuse me, sir, could you please come to the kitchen?"

"The chefs would like to ask you for a favor."

Following behind the dessert section manager, Orn traversed a series of long corridors before finally arriving at the bunker-like secret room.

Outside the secret room stood a large group of people, all dressed in chef's uniforms, who seemed to have been gathered there for quite some time.

With a pleading look on his face, the dessert section manager said to Orn, "Sir, please persuade the head chef, I beg you!"

The executive chef also said, "As chefs, we feel deeply ashamed that we have failed to keep our promise, but our most urgent task now is to ask you to persuade the boss. We beg you!"

Ornn glanced around and immediately understood what had happened.

So he nodded and went into the secret room.

The head chef was lying on his back in his chair; even though he heard footsteps, he didn't bother to look up and see who it was.

He simply waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Head chef? Don't bother trying to persuade me. I'll be resigning from my position as head chef tomorrow, and you don't need to call me head chef anymore..."

Orn laughed and said, "If you resign today, my job will never be able to eat such delicious food again."

The head chef was taken aback. He looked up at Orn, who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

He chuckled bitterly, "Heh, if I can't even satisfy your appetite, how can I have the face to continue as head chef?"

"Speaking of which, you also come from the central government, so you must have eaten the food there?"

Seeing Orn nod, the head chef asked, "So... how do my men compare to the Central Plains' culinary skills?"

“Slightly better.”

Orn replied sincerely, "My boss has always had a big appetite, but this is the first time she has eaten so much food. Even when she participated in the G3 level competitive eating contest in the Central region, she never ate this much."

"Therefore, the team you lead is indeed stronger than the central team."

"Okay, okay, okay."

A smile appeared on the head chef's aged face. He said "good" three times, then lowered his head and said, "Beating that old woman is a victory for me."

Orn said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my role has caused you a lot of trouble. I'll pay for your meals separately; I feel a little embarrassed eating so much."

"Haha! What are you saying!"

The head chef seemed to have regained his composure. He grabbed the chef's hat from the table and said loudly, "Since the customers have given my team such high praise, how can I let them pay for it!"

Then, quite slyly, he added, "Of course, the food expenses are included in Central Treson's payment. Trainer, please let your subordinate eat as much as you like!"

"During these sixty days, I will definitely lead my team to serve every horse lady well!!"

"Hmph, just thinking about the indignant look on the old lady's face when she sees the bill makes me want to scream!"

Chapter 158 Night Swimming

Inside the team's private room on the fourth floor of the hotel, Ornn gripped his hammer tightly, staring intently at Oguri's prominent belly.

"New Radiance" and "Soaring March" stood on either side of Oguri Hat, each holding one of her arms, seemingly restricting her movements.

Meguro Ardan held a plastic bag over Oguri's mouth, as if to prevent her from accidentally spitting something out.

The newly radiant light glanced at Ornn, then looked down at Little Chestnut's rumbling belly.

She asked, "My benefactor, are you sure?"

Orn held the hammer in his hand, placed it on Little Chestnut's belly, and sighed softly, "It's hard to say, after all, this is the first time Little Chestnut has ever eaten so much."

"Ordinary massage methods probably won't be enough to help her digest quickly. After I cast the enhancement spell on Oguri, everyone get ready!"

"Kuri, are you ready!"

Little Chestnut Hat slightly raised her right hand, gave a thumbs-up, and then nodded.

Ornn took a deep breath, twirled the hammer in his hand twice, and struck it directly on Little Chestnut's belly, which looked like she was ten months pregnant.

When the hammer and the chestnut hat's belly came into contact, they produced a sound similar to the clanging of metal when gongs are struck.

"Knock knock knock knock..."

This scene, far beyond common sense, made the newly radiant woman raise an eyebrow. She exclaimed in astonishment, "I thought I wouldn't be surprised by anything anymore, but it seems my cultivation is still lacking!"

"From now on, even if my benefactor brings out a horse that drinks engine oil, I won't be surprised,"

"What kind of strange change did the horse's belly go through to make that metallic scraping sound?! This is so inexplicable!!"

Teng Zheng, however, seemed quite calm. She said in a casual tone, "Radiance, don't make a fuss. Although Ornn doesn't look human at times, he is indeed a trainer we can trust."

"March... that doesn't sound like a human term... it's not quite right to say that,"

Ardan Meguro said somewhat awkwardly, "Compared to Mr. Orn's usual abilities, I find it more frightening that Oguri wanted to keep eating after already consuming so much."

"Could it be... that Oguri is actually the reincarnation of the God of Food? Some legends do have the concept of gods reincarnating, so perhaps Oguri is some unknown deity who loves to eat and drink who descended to earth?"

Aldan's imagination seemed to spark a new and brilliant association, and she nodded affirmatively, "Gods... I also think that Xiao Li is the reincarnation of some kind of deity! Maybe she just sprang from a stone one night amidst a storm, with thunder and lightning!"

"Hey, Oguri, tell me, where are you from?"

As Ornn tapped away to help her process the information, Little Chestnut Hat listened to the newly revealed question and fell into deep thought.

With a large amount of blood concentrated in her abdomen focused on digesting food, her brain only receives the most basic nutrients, and the speed at which neurons transmit electrical signals seems so slow at this moment.

Where did I come from?

This is a profound philosophical question. Glorious, myself, and the march all came from Kasamatsu, so she definitely wasn't asking about this.

So what else did she ask? Or... does it really matter where a person comes from?

No matter where we come from, aren't we all on Earth? Nations come from continents, continents come from planets, but where do planets come from? From the distant universe? Or from a world beyond the universe?

Source... Source... So it turns out... Originally!

In that instant, Oguri's mind, which had been maintaining only a minimal level of thought, seemed to suddenly have an epiphany. A pure smile appeared on her face, and she gazed with unwavering determination at the new radiance.

"I was born to... my mother."

A brand new brilliance: "..."

"My benefactor... Oguri... she seems to have lost her mind!!!"

Ornn finally couldn't hold back any longer. He swung his hammer and lightly tapped the newly radiant forehead, hissing, "Don't interrupt! I'm busy here!"

"Xiao Li isn't even thinking straight right now! And you're still teasing her! If you keep causing trouble, you'll be hauling tires tonight!"

After thirty minutes, Oguri's mountain-like belly gradually flattened and eventually returned to its usual shape, revealing her healthy abs.

Under the warm yellow indoor light, her fair skin reflected glistening beads of sweat, which rose and fell with the girl's heavy breathing.

Orn coughed lightly, then pulled down the rolled-up hem of her hat, covering her exposed belly.

He looked at the other three people in the room and asked, "Alright, Xiao Li, you're not allowed to eat so much next time. It will harm your body."

"What are your plans for the first night? Given your good performance today, there will be no training tonight, so everyone can relax."

"Really?! I knew you were the best, my benefactor!!"

A radiant new light immediately popped out from the side, holding a swimsuit she had prepared beforehand, and waved it, saying, "Then let's go swimming together!!"

"I've been preparing for this moment for so, so long! Would my benefactor like to come along?"

At this point, the newly radiant light suddenly crossed his arms mischievously and chuckled, "Hehe, my benefactor isn't trying to peek at the pretty girls' swimsuits, is he?! If you beg me loudly, I might let my benefactor see!"

Orn completely ignored the antics of the new radiance, and looked at Aldan and March, asking, "So? Are you willing to go?"

(Hey!! Don't ignore me!!)

"The evening is a cool time, and going to the sea to cool off from the daytime heat is a great way to pass the time."
