Chapter 003: The Bathhouse
At this moment, both individuals were astonished, and Erina Nakiri even slammed her hands on the table and shouted, instantly drawing the attention of many people towards her.
"Indeed, it is that tongue of the gods"
The voice of the blonde-haired woman suddenly vanished, and this time she did not respond to Emiya's words
Her fondness for comics has made her somewhat curious about Emiya, as the scenes featuring him are indeed quite bizarre
Fortunately, there was no one outside the women's bath, so no one saw Emiya swaggering out from within the women's bath
After arriving at the restaurant, the three individuals found a seat near the edge, in a location free from disturbance
Tadokoro Megumi is just one of them
And the new resident, Shihiko, found it hard to believe that someone in reality would claim to be a superpower user. Could this guy be suffering from a case of adolescent delusions?
Emiya thought for a moment and said, "Before we begin our conversation, let me introduce myself. My name is Emiya, and I would consider myself a psychic and a traveler."
Ah, isn't that the young lady of the Totsuki family
Togakushi Erina was not surprised by Emiya's identity as a superhuman, after all, she had witnessed the scene of Emiya appearing out of thin air in the bathroom, which, in any case, was not something an ordinary person could achieve
"Lady Eriina." After finishing today's assignment, Shinato Hisako intended to find her young lady, but unexpectedly encountered her on the way.
Thus, her intuition told her that this man was not ordinary
Erina Nakiri nodded and said, "I am willing to talk with you"
Moreover, in addition to Tadasuke Megumi, there are also Kobayashi Rindou, Akikubo Momo, as well as those graduates from the Top Ten, Mizuhara Fuyumi, Kakuzaki Taki, and Kikuji Sonoka, and even Nakiri Alice can be included
This brief journey made Emiya realize the limitations of his ability to traverse dimensions, but he did not give up; instead, after resting for a few minutes, he began his second attempt at crossing over
Ah? The new resident, Feisha, couldn't help but be taken aback. Is this what the young lady is concerned about? Shouldn't it be about the superpowers?
She turned her head to look at Emiya and asked, "She is the person I trust the most; can she come along as well?"
However, the telekinetic sphere continues to protect Shirou Emiya, repelling the surrounding water of the pond.
Before knowing oneself in the midst of the journey, the thoughts that linger in the heart are still those of being captivated by gourmet food
Please wait a moment
Emiya could not clearly see what the woman's face looked like, but he was certain that she was filled with terror
But Emiya knew that he had guessed correctly
Eimiya was taken aback, recalling the woman's dazzling golden hair, and suddenly understood, "So you are Erina Nakiri? Are you currently in the accommodation training at Totsuki?"
This is the tacit understanding cultivated between two individuals over many years
Thus, Emiya decisively turned his body back, jumped out of the bath, landed beside it, and asked, "Excuse me, could you tell me where this place is?"
However, when Tōgō Erina saw that Emiya was about to walk out of her sight without turning back, she suddenly gritted her teeth and took a step forward to chase after him
It seems that she has had some conflict with that boy. By the way, who is that man
At first, she thought the other party was playing hard to get.
The most, most, most, most... the most trusted person? So this is how Lady Erina views me. Hisako, oh Hisako, you absolutely must not let Lady Erina down in her expectations of you
Emiya glanced around and discovered that this bath was either a private villa's bath or a bath built within a luxury hotel, with an overall decor style that was very high-end and luxurious
However, Emiya could still discern a hint of weakness behind this sense of oppression
Empathizing with others, if Emiya were to encounter this problem, he would undoubtedly be restless.
What is going on here
The new resident, Shirasaki, cast a few discreet glances at Emiya, while her mind was incessantly speculating about the man's true identity, wondering how he could warrant the personal attention of Lady Erina.
Under the leadership of Tōgō Erina, Emiya made his way to the restaurant at Tōtsuki Culinary Academy, but the two encountered Tōgō Erina's attendant and confidante, Shinomiya Kasumi, along the way
Then, Emiya activated his ability to traverse dimensions
Emiya nodded, "Of course, I can." He certainly would not refuse such a good deal as a buy one get one free. After all, the culinary skills of the new resident, Shizuko, were quite good, and she was also skilled in medicinal cuisine.
Emiya has no reason to refuse
Emiya nodded, "That's right, it's the traveler as you perceive it. However, I am not traveling around the world, but rather across various worlds, such as the world you inhabit, a world with youkai, or even other worlds, and so on"
However, Emiya did not expect that his second crossing would actually bring him to the Far Moon Palace
The new resident, Shihiko, secretly made up her mind
After sitting down, Tohsaka Erina looked directly at Emiya and said, "Now, you can speak. What is it that you wish to discuss with me?"
"Then follow me." Erina Nakiri sighed, feeling that the man before her seemed to have no ill intentions towards her.
Although he is interested in Erina Nakiri, he is not solely fixated on her
"Is the restaurant not suitable?" Erina Nakiri retorted, feeling that the restaurant was more appropriate than the empty room. If this man intended to do anything, she could simply shout.
However, he arrived at Food Wars
Moreover, the overall style leans towards a Japanese aesthetic
Emiya shook his head at her appearance, saying, "Forget it, it seems you are not ready yet. Whenever you are prepared, come and talk to me then"
"Traveler?" Nakiri Erina looked completely bewildered
Having said that, Emiya opened the large door of the bath, passed through the changing room, and walked outside
At present, Emiya has basically confirmed that his traversal is random and beyond his control
Erina Nakiri rubbed her temples and asked, "Is the traveler you mentioned the same traveler I have in mind?"
Emiya had a look of helplessness on his face, while Nakiri Erina's face was flushed, yet her eyes were filled with disbelief. The idea of traversing worlds was truly a challenge to human perspectives.
Having said that, Emiya turned and left
Emiya could not help but think.
The Distant Moon Palace
Emiya nodded readily without much thought, "That works."
Who... who are you
What are you joking about
I do not recognize, does anyone know?
Hearing the call of Takiya Erina, Emiya stopped in his tracks and turned to face the approaching Takiya Erina, "So, you are ready now"
Erina Nakiri involuntarily took a step back, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "What do you want to do?"
So, is there something wrong with my ability to travel through time and space? Last time it was the bathroom, and this time it is the bathhouse
Emiya was taken aback and turned around, only to find a blonde woman soaking in the bath behind him. The woman was submerged in water up to her neck, leaving only a blurred face visible.
After all, if a stranger suddenly appeared in front of you while you were taking a shower, you would also be terrified in your place
After returning from the world of Natsume's Book of Friends, Emiya appeared in his own room
How could such absurd things possibly happen in reality
The steam from the bath obscured Emiya's line of sight
The new resident, Feisha Zi, could not help but turn beet red upon hearing these words
Emiya tried to lower his voice, "If you don't mind, could we go to your room to talk?"
After a while, the blonde woman dressed in clothes walked out from the women's bath.
As for whether this is indeed his own problem, Emiya has never considered it; he is not that kind of person
"Superpower user?" Nishikado Hisako exclaimed in shock
It seems that she is far from being as strong-willed as she presents herself to be
Dressed in her clothes, Tohsaka Erina seemed to don a layer of armor, her gaze towards Emiya filled with vigilance, and her voice no longer timid as it had been moments ago, but instead imbued with a sense of pressure
Emiya let out a sigh of relief, at least he no longer needed to be regarded as a pervert
However, this time, Emiya did not appear in the bathroom, but instead emerged in a luxurious bathhouse, and with a splash, Emiya fell into the water once again
The story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is quite popular in their country
However, the blonde-haired woman did not immediately answer Emiya's question. After a silence lasting nearly half a minute, she slowly said, "This is the Far Moon Palace"
Thus, the two individuals in the same profession became three individuals
Emiya focused his gaze and indeed saw the uniform of Tōtsuki; beneath the golden hair was the face of that tsundere, Erina Nakiri.
How is this possible
However, before the second crossing, Emiya still used telekinesis to form a sphere, protecting himself within the telekinetic sphere
Regardless, let's discuss it first
As before, Emiya merely experienced a fleeting moment before arriving in a new world
However, since we have arrived in the world of Food Wars, should we abduct a few chefs to take back with us to cook meals for ourselves
But she never expected that Emiya would actually call himself a traveler
The focal points of the two individuals are entirely different
"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm," said Emiya calmly. "I'll step out for now. After you finish your bath and change your clothes, we can have a talk."
"Hishako..." Erina Nakiri was not surprised to encounter Hishako Shinoto here, as she was well aware that once Hishako completed her assessment, she would come looking for her
Then let's go to your room
However, she did not expect that there was an unfamiliar boy accompanying the young lady.
"Who exactly are you?" asked Erina Nakiri
At that moment, a timid voice came from behind.
The reason Erina Nakiri remains vigilant towards Emiya is that he immediately revealed her name upon speaking, leading her to believe that he was targeting her. She did not expect Emiya to leave so decisively, which left her somewhat astonished
In the next second, he vanished from his own room
After all, in the world of Food Wars, there are many beautiful and talented female chefs
