Pros

+If Food opens with no 3×3 silhouette, there's no Luminous Goblet either (the Luminous Goblet only comes as a Food 3×3) — you skip the 9-slot average and save the 70k restock.
+92% of boards where Food opens have no 3×3 — on most boards you save the cost of the 9-slot.
+If a Food 3×3 shows, there are only two candidates — the Nine-Bite Snack Box (240k) and the Luminous Goblet (16.8M) — one 9-slot average tells them apart, and even the Nine-Bite Snack Box gives you a 240k floor.

Cons

−The chance Hotori opens Food in 1R is about 17% — even if you wait until 3R, Food stays closed on half of boards.
−The branch that waits for Food effectively gives up a 1R all-in — meanwhile another character may find out first with the 9-slot average.
−The Luminous Goblet itself is rare — 0.3% of Pearl Hall boards.

Recommended conditions

Pearl Hall · plenty of funds (around 10M for a 1R all-in). 1.4 only — from 1.4, when the 9-slot average joined the Best set. The Hotori version of the all-character Luminous Goblet Run — Food type silhouettes save you the cost of the 9-slot average.

Details

At the start of each of 1R–3R, Hotori shows every silhouette of one type not yet opened, with the type attached. The Luminous Goblet is a Food 3×3, and there are only two Food 3×3s: the Nine-Bite Snack Box (240k) and the Luminous Goblet (16.8M).

So if there's no 3×3 silhouette in the round Food opens, there's no Luminous Goblet on this board — stop without using the 9-slot average. You buy the Best set at its set price up front and restock only the items you use, so if you don't use the 9-slot, the 70k restock stays in your pocket. 92% of the boards where Food opened were like this.

If a Food 3×3 shows, use the 9-slot average. Above 260k it's the Luminous Goblet (the Nine-Bite Snack Box is 240k, so it can't push the average above 260k); otherwise it's the Nine-Bite Snack Box.

If Food hasn't opened yet, there are two branches. The standard line, like the all-character Luminous Goblet Run, uses the 9-slot average in 1R to keep your chance at a 1R all-in. The saving branch waits for the 2R and 3R type reveals — on 53% of Luminous Goblet boards Food opens by 3R, but meanwhile another character may find out first with the 9-slot average.
