The underworld banquet

As the group approached the venue, Himawari immediately removed Sundae's wig.

"GIVE ME THE WIG BACK YOU ASSHOLE!" Sundae screamed.

"Shut it baldy, as of this moment you're my slave. Don't you dare talk back and risk blowing our cover," Himawari glared.

"Not gonna happen, she's way too prideful. Well, gag balls shouldn't be too inconspicuous right?" Rika asked as she held up two gag balls.

Himawari responded by grabbing a gag ball and gagging Sundae with it.

"So glad the bitch partnered with me instead," Helga grumbled.

"Might as well do you too. You have a short temper," Rika snickered as she gagged Helga.

"NGHHHHH!?"

                                                                           ...

"Attendees? No, you appear to be chefs, I'll need your names. I assume the gagged nude women are your slaves? What meal shall you be turning them into?" The greeter asked.

"Tiana Teramisu, this slave's gonna be tempura," Himawari stated.

"Heidi Koldslaw, my bitch is gonna be a nice meat n seafood platter," Rika stated.

"Hoo, she sure looks hot, though why didn't ya shave her as smooth as the other one for extra humiliation?" the greeter sneered.

"Cuz then ya wouldn't be able to see how hot she is."

"Well, some of our attendees would probably enjoy fiddling around with her hair. Anyway, you two check out. Now get to work on the preparation."

Helga and Sundae let out muffled protests as they were dragged along.

"We'll go our separate ways. The bust will occur at dinner time," Himawari whispered.

Rika surveyed some of the chefs and attendees.

"A whole bunch of scum I recognize. There's Krokow the glutton of Canterbury, Chef P. LaFleur the cheese n cracker recipe robber, and worst of all Yoko Ruka the leader of the demon queen cult along with at least 10 of her goons. Then up on the stage there's Mondeau himself," Rika thought.

Krokow was a large obese man with a mechanical hand and a forked beard. He was known to literally eat anything insight whether it be chairs, silverware, other people, or even himself. The mechanical hand he had was a result of him simply eating his own hand as an appetizer before murdering an aristocrat family and eating them for the main course. Due to his voracious appetite, he was generally despised amongst his underworld peers due to him being a loose cannon that could easily turn on them if his stomach grumbled.

Chef P. LaFleur was a chef from Nouveau Neo. He was initially expelled from the cooking world after infamously pilfering the recipe for a popular brand of snack food known as Cheese n' Cracker after being humiliated by the company in a cook off. He was caught and promptly thrown in prison. He broke out and joined Nouveau neo, where he began stealing recipes from famous brands and selling them on the dark web while resuming his cooking for the underworld.

The demon queen cult was a dangerous all-female cult consisting of over 100,000 members. All members were required to shave all hair from their heads and bodies, then tattoo every inch of their skin a pale white color. They were also required to all wear the same uniform consisting of a dark green sports bra, light blue yoga pants, and white running shoes. Socks and undergarments were forbidden. All the followers also wore orange lipstick and turquoise contacts, making it impossible to tell them apart by their eyes.

 Like her followers, Yoko Ruka was also devoid of hair and had her skin tattooed just like her followers. Though instead of the standard attire, she  wore a white priestess robe that struggled to contain her massive breasts and turquoise sneakers. She did not wear contacts, though had heterochromia with her right eye being turquoise and her left eye being orange. Before forming the cult, she had been an energetic chuunibiyo, but underwent a personality change upon starting the cult.

The goal of the cult was to serve their leader, Yoko Ruka the self proclaimed demon queen and become her wives. However, drugs and drug trafficking were also a key component of the cult's infamy and power. Every member, including Ruka herself, were high on the cult's custom made drugs 24/7. These potent drugs were also the reason so many women assimilated into the cult. It was said that one puff was all it took to turn even the strongest willed woman into a lustful obedient cultist. This caused all the cultists to act like a hive mind with no trace of individuality aside from Ruka and the one member that would usually dictate her will to the others, known as "Main Girl". This was the reason every member was unrecognizable in personality as well as appearance. Though what truly made the cult so dangerous was their worldwide drug distribution. This led to many women from around the world flocking to their ranks. The drugs didn't have the same effect on men, but were more akin to opioids for them making then just as dangerous. Their distribution coupled with Ruka's preexisting wealth, quickly led to them becoming one of the world's largest and most dangerous cults.

Finally, there was Monsieur Mondeau, the taboo chef himself. He would frequently dabble in cooking dishes deemed inappropriate and taboo. It was when he killed and cooked a fellow classmate at Tabemono that he was arrested and blacklisted from the culinary world. However, he was a very talented chef and quickly rose to fame in the underworld. After amassing enough capitol, he formed Noveau neo as a way to unite all underworld chefs under one banner. The true purpose of that was to prove him worthy of being an executive member of the world's largest shadow organization. He invited the Demon Queen cult, who's leader had expressed an interest in meeting with said organization as a way to curry more rapport.

"Like, waganawa Ruka. You're like, so hot gal. Come smoke n sex with me," Ruka smiled as she wrapped her arm around a female chef.

"Get away from me you freak!" the chef yelled.

"Her slave is like, so cute too. Like, assimilate gal," one cult member cooed as they surrounded the chef and her slave.

The two women were quickly dragged off by Ruka and her cult.

"Wonder what one of them cult whores wud taste like," Krokow mused as he began snacking on LaFleur's beret.

"Get your metal munchers away from my hat!" LaFleaur fumed as he shrieked away.

"Do not eat until everyone is here!" Mondeau glared at Krokow.

"When did you care about manners!? Also, I'm currently the one with the most power to decide if you get in or not," Krokow snarled.

"Non! When HE arrives, you will be nothing more than a foot soldier."

"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe," Rika whispered to Helga.

"I doubt it. This bitch dragged us into something way over our heads," Helga angrily thought.

                                                                               ...

Sundae moaned and blushed as Himawari covered every inch of her nude body in a thick creamy tempura batter. She breathed out of her nose rapidly as her mouth and eyes were covered by the batter.

"Relax, you'll be fine, I'm just gonna store you in the fridge instead of baking you while I look around," Himawari whispered.

Once she was gone, Sundae snuck out and shed her disguise.

"Well that was quite easy," Dastard thought as he disguised himself as a chef he saw with the flick of his cape.

                                                                             ...

"You'll need to inject her with this immobilization serum," an organizer informed Rika.

"Oh good, you got a few more? I've been goin through my stock at home like crazy," Rika laughed.

"We are open for business following the conclusion of the banquet. As for now, you will only be given one vile. I will confirm that you properly make use of it."

Rika smiled and jabbed the syringe into Helga's neck, eliciting a shocked muffled yelp from her.

"Well have fun with your preparation. Krokow will be your primary client for tonight, so stack the girl with lots of food so she isn't devoured in a minute," the organizer stated.

Rika went gritted her teeth upon hearing the revelation.

"Shit, I should have traded places with Helga. That vacuum will bite her throat out as soon as she arrives. Well, don't think it's too late for that," Rika smirked as a figure appeared before her.

Rika placed a slab of meat over Helga's eyes as she went to greet the figure.

"The hell'd she do that for!? If I wasn't immobilized by that crap I'd- huh? I don't feel immobilized," Helga thought as she reached for the meat and pulled it off her eyes.

Rika was standing before her.

"It was just Tiana. Said that serum takes a half hour to kick in. Well, guess you better stay still while I butter ya up," Rika smiled.

Helga then had her hair and body drenched in gravy and butter. She closed her eyes tightly as the warm gravy flowed all over her. She then felt food being placed on her.

                                                                               ...

Krokow's mouth watered as Rika wheeled Helga out on a tray. She was covered in exotic gourmet meat, lettuce, and some king salmon along with the gravy butter from earlier.

"Do not eat yet!" First Allow me to welcome everyone here," Mondeau stated as he took the mike.

"Tonight, we are all gathered here to merge and mingle with the largest shadow organization in the world, Illumous!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Now, everyone please give a round of applause to the Illumous ambassador and half brother of one of it's 12 governing councilors, the great Jester-sama!"

"Buwahahahaha! You ready to eat some hot bitches!?" Jester grinned as he appeared in a puff of smoke.

The audience erupted in applause.

"Looks like we got a gourmet array. I see plenty of platters, plenty of baked bitches, and hear there's a few chilin in the fridge for later. Though there better be a teriyaki meatball dish being prepped in the kitchen I love that shit dammit! I can only eat humans when Ni-san wants em and he doesn't eat them all. JERK! I'm way more evil than you! I'm the one who should be eating humans all evil like! Blood tastes like shit by itself! Now the moment you've all been waiting for, THE PRE-MEAL THEME SONG!"

Jester's ninjas appeared and began playing as Jester began to sing.

“Yo Yoi! I am the greatest criminal from the depths of Edo. The great daimyo of organized crime. Everyone fears my name! For every atrocity, I have attained! Murder! Kidnapping! Drug Smuggling! None can match my Might! Theft! Assault! War Crimes! All now fear my wrath! With my evil ninjitsu I will conquer all that’s good. They say Jesters are the fools, WELL WHO'S LAUGHING NOW DUMBASS! Lalalalalala! Jester-sama is the evil, dastardly, wicked, inhumane, dark ninjutsu daimyo! Oh oh oh oh! Yooooooo!”

"Now serve the food! Give me my teriyaki meatballs!" Jester laughed.

Krokow licked his lips as a serene Helga was placed before him.

"That's your primary dish, you must eat that before eating-"

Before Mondeau could finish, Krokow had already lunged his cybernetic hand towards Helga's abdomen.

*CRUNCH*

Everyone turned and stared in shock at the sight before them. A knife was embedded in the palm of Krokow's mechanical hand as Helga shoved him down to the ground.

"Huh!? Why's the food moving!?" Jester cried as the food began to drip off Helga's nude body.

Helga then grabbed a salt and pepper shaker and sprinkled some of each on her ass before hurling them into Krokow's face.

Krokow angrily chomped the shakers and contents to bits as he charged after Helga.

Before anyone else could react, the greeter went flying into the room bloodied and beaten.

Everyone turned to see a young muscular woman with short black hair and shaved eyebrows storm into the room. A woman with long black hair and thick glasses, a woman with brown hair styled in pigtails, and a woman with long pink hair and green eyes followed behind.

"Popos here! Ya'll goin to da bar cage," the woman with the glasses grinned as she flashed a police badge.

"So it's begun. Guess I'll focus on fighting this ass, while Dastard gets Helga out of here," Rika thought as Krokow chased after her.
