Shuna stood in the bright kitchen of the central administrative building. Soft sunlight came through the windows and lit the clean wooden counters. She held her magic smartphone with both hands, her eyes full of gentle excitement. While exploring the food section on the central server, she had found a collection of recipes from a land called Malaysia. The dishes looked full of rich flavors and simple beauty. She decided to try them at once.
The recipes were clear and easy to follow. The anime-girl AI voice explained every step with kind patience. Shuna began with Nasi Lemak. She cooked rice in coconut milk, added pandan leaves for fragrance, and prepared a spicy sambal sauce. The kitchen soon filled with a warm, creamy scent.
Next she made Roti Canai. She stretched the dough until it was thin and flaky, then cooked it on a hot pan until it turned golden. The flatbread looked light and perfect.
For Satay, she marinated chicken pieces in spices, threaded them onto skewers, and grilled them over a gentle magical flame. A sweet peanut sauce simmered nearby.
Char Kway Teow came after that. Shuna stir-fried wide noodles with shrimp, eggs, and bean sprouts in a hot pan. The smoky aroma rose quickly.
Beef Rendang took longer but filled the room with deep, spicy warmth. She cooked tender beef slowly with coconut milk, lemongrass, and fragrant spices until the sauce became thick and rich.
Finally she prepared Nasi Kandar. She arranged rice on plates and added different curries and side dishes so each person could choose what they liked.
When everything was ready, Shuna carried the dishes to the dining area next to the kitchen. Rimuru, Ramiris, and Gobta waited at the table with happy faces. Veldora sat with them, calm and thoughtful.
"I smell something wonderful," Gobta said, leaning forward. His eyes shone with hunger. "Lady Shuna, what did you make today?"
Ramiris floated above her chair, clapping her small hands. "It looks colorful and smells so good! Is this from Takumi's old world?"
Rimuru smiled with quiet warmth. "Take your time, Shuna. We are all looking forward to tasting your new creations."
Shuna placed the plates on the table with care. Steam rose gently from the hot food. "I found these recipes on the smartphone. They are from Malaysia. Please enjoy Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Satay, Char Kway Teow, Beef Rendang, and Nasi Kandar. I followed every step exactly."
The friends began to eat. Gobta took a big spoonful of Beef Rendang first. His face lit up at once. "This is so tender and spicy! The sauce is full of flavor. I could eat this every day!"
Ramiris tried the Nasi Lemak and let out a happy sound. "The coconut rice is creamy and sweet, but the spicy sauce makes it exciting. I love the little crispy bits on top!"
Rimuru tasted the Char Kway Teow and a piece of Roti Canai. He nodded slowly, his deep golden eyes full of appreciation. "The noodles have a wonderful smoky taste, and the flatbread is perfect for scooping everything up. The balance of spices is just right. You have brought something truly special to our table, Shuna."
Veldora ate with refined grace, yet clear enjoyment showed on his face. "The depth of flavor in the Beef Rendang and the freshness of the Satay show great skill. Each dish tells its own story."
Shuna watched them with quiet joy. She felt proud that her friends liked the food so much. As they continued eating, Veldora spoke again. This time his voice carried Takumi's words clearly so Shuna could hear.
"Shuna, Takumi wishes to tell you something important," Veldora said, his tone warm and steady. "In his original world, he lived in Malaysia. These dishes are from his homeland. He says your cooking captures the true taste of home, and he is deeply moved."
Shuna's eyes softened with surprise and gentle happiness. She set her spoon down for a moment. "So Takumi is from Malaysia? That makes these recipes even more meaningful. I am honored to bring a piece of his past to our table. From now on, I will make them often and learn more dishes from his country. Food like this can connect different worlds."
Rimuru looked at Veldora with understanding. "That is a beautiful connection, Takumi. Thank you for sharing it with us. These flavors feel like a bridge between your old life and our new one."
Gobta took another helping of Satay and Nasi Kandar. "If this is from your home, Takumi, then I want to eat it all the time! The peanut sauce on the skewers is my favorite."
Ramiris finished her plate of Char Kway Teow and asked for more Roti Canai. "It is spicy but not too much, and the bread is so fun to tear apart. Shuna, you are the best cook ever!"
Shuna smiled softly. "I am glad you all enjoy it. The smartphone made it easy to learn, but the heart I put into the cooking comes from wanting to make you happy. Perhaps we can add these dishes to special meals in Tempest. They can remind everyone that friends from far away still share with us."
Veldora nodded with mature approval. "A fine idea. Through food, cultures meet and grow closer. Takumi feels the same. He says the taste of home here in Tempest makes him feel truly part of our family."
The meal continued with light laughter and happy conversation. Gobta told funny stories between bites, Ramiris asked Shuna to teach her one simple recipe, and Rimuru quietly praised how the new flavors brought everyone together in a peaceful moment.
Outside the window, the federation went about its day. Citizens still played games and watched anime on their phones, but inside this kitchen a quieter kind of magic happened. A small taste of Malaysia had traveled across worlds and found a warm welcome in Tempest.
Shuna looked at her friends and felt a deep sense of contentment. Cooking was more than preparing food. It was a way to show care, to remember the past, and to build new memories together. With Takumi's quiet presence through Veldora, the circle of friendship felt complete.
As the plates slowly emptied, the group lingered at the table. The warm spices and gentle conversation reminded them that even in a world of great power and political shadows, simple shared meals could bring the greatest joy.
