Actually, right when the Akasha Terminal was obtained during the meeting, the two gods present (the Rex Lapis cat-dragon plushie was on the meeting room table), two youkai, and one Descender had already confirmed it clearly.
It does have effects related to the mind.
But they all fall within normal ranges, with no methods to pull people into dreams...
Hm... actually, that's normal too.
After all, pulling people into dreams should be something the Grand Sage planned to implement only after receiving the Doctor's god-creation plan. Before that, it was just harvesting dreams as operational energy.
Don't forget, the Akasha Terminal was given for free when the Traveler first arrived in Sumeru City.
It's normal that the current Akasha doesn't have that function yet.
For now, just slowly wait until tonight to see if Nahida comes or not.
And before that...
Cid chose to first retract his Shura armor.
Ever since last time he helped little Yoimiya keep watch while changing clothes, the old uncle liked wearing the adventurer's clothes underneath. Once the Shura armor is retracted, he transforms into adventurer Cid.
What to eat for lunch today?
The old uncle looked at the group behind him.
"Today I'm cooking. What do you all want to eat? Any food restrictions?"
Raiden Shogun, now in Aurora Mamoru Mei mode, answered very directly.
"If Cid is cooking, I won't be picky."
"Big bro~ I want fish~"
The old uncle rubbed the cat's head, suddenly feeling that ever since coming to Inazuma, because of raising Kirara, it seems they've eaten fish very often...
But he's gotten used to it. Only at the very beginning did a fish bone get stuck in his throat...
But it wasn't deep, and using Anemo made it easy to remove.
"Okay, then add fish to today's lunch ingredients."
Cat Kirara happily stood up in the old uncle's arms and rubbed against his face.
The old uncle didn't think much of it and just reached out to smooth the fur on Kirara's back.
This Kirara—when she wasn't in human form before it was fine, but now even though she's still a cat, thinking of Kirara's human appearance makes this action feel quite bold indeed...
But feeling that fluffy touch...
The old uncle didn't refuse Kirara's way of expressing affection through actions.
A cat's feelings are very pure—it's a dependence on a guardian.
Cat Kirara is cat Kirara, and Kirara is Kirara.
As long as that's clear, it's fine.
Anyone who thinks crookedly gets dragged out.
"For this Guuji, one portion of fried tofu. As for restrictions, nothing pickled. A fox's sense of taste and smell is very sharp; we can smell the stench of pickled things..."
Even though it was her first time joining [Adventurer Cid Old Uncle's Meal], Yae Miko showed no courtesy at all.
Being courteous with this little guy has no future. Just ask straightforwardly, then later get a bit more affectionate and have him cook it back for you.
So it came to the only one who hadn't spoken and couldn't join the high-level conversation—Yumemizuki Mizuki.
"I... for me, anything the Shura Anyakonsen-shou makes is fine."
Yumemizuki Mizuki's answer was similar to Raiden Shogun's.
But Miko spoke for Mizuki first.
"Mizuki's tastes... mainly she doesn't like food that's too rough... Little guy, you understand what I mean, right?"
Mr. Cid naturally nodded in understanding.
"Don't worry, I got it. So how about noodles for lunch today? I once learned from a little chef in Liyue, and from her I learned a recipe for a special secret sauce."
Shacha noodles—it's been quite a while since he's had them.
