Menchi clicked her tongue when she heard this, although she had to admit it was a good point.
She knew she was pretty, but her beauty didn't compare to the most beautiful women in the world, and her body also lagged behind, because despite being athletic and well-toned, her crows couldn't compare to Kyōka's or Kyoko's, she could even debate if they were on the same level as her tragic guest, Coco Loo.
"So, why were you going to invite me?" - Menchi asked as she folded her arms.
"First, because I can see something in your eyes" - answered Cloud calmly - "And because you are of use to our group."
"Something in my eyes - usefulness?" - Menchi repeated, confused at his words.
"Yes, I can see that you wish to continue advancing on your path for being the best cook in the world and your culinary skills are important to my group" - Cloud answered honestly, after all, he couldn't deceive the girl he was trying to recruit because it would backfire later.
"I see, I appreciate your honesty" - muttered Menchi as she started to think - "What's in it for me if I accept your recruitment? I ask, because I'm sure there has to be more benefits than just being able to cook much more exotic things than there are in this world."
"First, partial immortality, you can continue to live for an indefinite amount of time, but you can be killed like a normal person" - Cloud replied calmly as he shrugged - "Second, the ability to be able to get stronger much more easily, and even be able to see things you never thought you saw, or even that in this world are myths."
This gained Menchi's attention because there were many rumors that she had wanted to check out, however, they were impossible because they were just that, rumors.
"Third, better equipment and utensils" - Cloud said while looking at the [Butcher Knife] the woman had in her hand - "Objects and ingredients that will make everything you've ever held in your hands look like children's toys, and finally, an adventure so great that it doesn't compare to anything there is in this world."
"Adventure?" - Menchi muttered as she recalled the last few months full of excitement and happiness together with Cloud and the others - "I understand, you hit right where it hurts and I don't think I can resist being left behind after all that, more so when I have nothing to tie me to this world."
Menchi wasn't lying, her family had died during her childhood, the man who had taken care of her and taught her the culinary art, had passed away due to age, and she didn't have many friends because she was picky about her friendships, on the same level as the food she prepared.
"I accept" - Menchi answered seriously. She didn't need to think things through because she lived with the mentality that it was better to prepare the food when she had the ingredients in hand.
[Notification! Character, Menchi, has accepted recruitment, generating important information!]
Cloud nodded calmly as he looked closely at the light blue-haired girl.
"What was that?" - Menchi asked with surprise - "I heard a voice in my head telling me, preparing to deliver information in 10 seconds, we recommend you to be in a safe place to prevent accidents."
"I recommend you to sit on the floor" - mentioned Cloud calmly.
"Sit down?" - Menchi repeated, only to grab her head and let out a sharp cry of pain as she felt as if she was about to explode from all the information
Cloud watched this silently as he felt everyone come to the site and see how Menchi was screaming on the floor as she rolled over to try to get the pain in her head away.
"Did he accept?" - Kyōka asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yes" - nodded Cloud as he shook his head, then looked at the trembling Coco Loo, who was thinking, but seeing Cloud next to a sore Menchi, made her think things over.
"Relax, he's not to blame" - said Kyoko with a smile while trying to calm her accidental guest - "I promise, in a little while, Menchi-san will get up and everything will be fine".
And as she had mentioned, Menchi got up after a few seconds and was as good as new.
"Ugh, I feel like a giant cyclops hit me with it's mallet" - muttered Menchi while shaking her head - "At least with this I understand many more things, and I have to admit it's interesting".
"That's good to hear, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go out to finish some things" - Cloud mentioned as he looked around before retreating.
Coco Loo let out a sigh of relief as she watched Cloud disappear before getting embarrassed as she noticed how they were all looking at her - "Sorry, it's just that I'm still nervous."
"Don't apologize, it's normal for you to be terrified with everything you went through" - Kyoko replied calmly as she tried to calm the woman down.

Cloud was returning to Netero's office, when he saw how in front of the entrance, stood a woman he immediately recognized from the description the girls had given him.
"Why!" - Biscuit exclaimed as she pounded on the door angrily - "I don't want any part of this shit!"
Cloud watched this with amusement because it was obvious that the first round was over, and she had moved on to the first round.
When he was saying that the voting for president of the association was going to be in a week, he was referring to the final votes. Before that, there would be at least three or four more ballots so that the number of participants could be narrowed down.
"I already said I didn't want to participate, but the moment they made me go to the second round, I can no longer withdraw!" - Biscuit roared as she pounded on Netero's door - "Get me out of this damn voting!"
"Biscuit-sama, I ask you to stop shouting, there is no way we can get you out because it would show as if we are dishonestly eliminating the participants" - replied Netero's secretary when he saw how his boss still didn't come out of his office so he could end this joke.
"It's me who wants out!" - Biscuit roared angrily as she continued to throw a tantrum, until he saw how a familiar person appeared in her range of her vision - "Are you Cloud-san by any chance?"
Cloud's smile quickly disappeared as it was obvious that the woman had recognized him despite possibly only being given a small description of him.
"It's a good thing you came, help me contact that old man!" - Biscuit shouted as he gripped her hand tightly - "Come on!"
But to his surprise, she couldn't move the blond despite his enormous strength - "Do you weigh a ton, by any chance?"
"No, I just know how to manage my strength" - Cloud replied as he gave her a blank look - "But now I want to ask you, how did you manage to recognize me?"
"I saw a picture of you in one of the many [Promising Hunters] reports." - Biscuit replied with a huge grin - "Now, help me get out of this damn election."
"Ok, I'll give it a try" - sighed Cloud as he grabbed the bridge of his nose - "No promises though."
"I know you'll make it" - Biscuit replied as she put her hands on her hips.
"If that's what you think" - muttered Cloud as he walked into Netero's office after knocking.
"What!" - Biscuit exclaimed in surprise as she tried to open the door and see how it was again impossible to open - "Damn it!"

"That crazy lady left?" - Netero asked as he saw how Cloud was entering his office.
"No, and I'm sure she's still screaming" - Cloud replied as he shook his head - "Why don't you just accept her exit from the election?"
"Because it's against the rules, she just has to accept her fate" - Netero snorted as he shrugged - "Anyway, what did you call me for?"
"I want to talk about something with you" - Cloud said as he looked carefully at a small screen that had popped up.
[Character, Isaac Netero, has all the requirements to be eligible for recruitment].
"Oh? What do you want to talk to me about?" - Isaac Netero asked as he looked with interest at the blond - "Is it about your little secret, by any chance?"
"What secret?" - Cloud asked with a huge grin as he cocked his head to one side.
"Let's leave that for now and talk about what you need" - replied Isaac as he shook his head.
"Ok, I'd like to ask you something first" - expressed Cloud calmly.
"What?" - Netero asked curiously.
"What do you think about if there are other worlds than this one?" - Cloud asked with a smile.
"Other worlds" - murmured Netero as he stroked his chin - "After everything you've told me about things I don't understand, I think it's possible that there are other worlds, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you were a traveler from another world."
"That's because I am" - Cloud answered seriously as he explained about his situation.
An hour later, Isaac Netero was silent, slowly meditating and digesting all the information he had received.
"That means you want me to join your journey" - Netero murmured seriously - "Interesting, this is much better than going to the dark continent, although I need some time to be able to think things over alone."
"Sure, you have about 20 hours" - answered Cloud calmly as he withdrew.
