Chapter 519: Erina Nakiri, another tsundere

Chapter 519: Erina Nakiri, another tsundere

At this moment, silence enveloped the inside of the restaurant.

All gazes were on Eiji who was now looking at the chef who was leading the group of burly men earlier.

When Eiji took a step forward, the chef had a terrified expression and dropped his butt to the floor.

"Wait a minute! Boy, you... Do you know what you're doing? You beat up the employees and destroyed the restaurant's belongings!" The chef pointed at Eiji who was now standing right in front of him and looking down on him.

Eiji put his hands in his pants pockets and lowered his head slightly. There was still a smile on his face that made many female customers in the restore blush and look at him in admiration. Erina was no exception, she was still standing in her place with a dazed expression on her beautiful face.

"So? What do you want to do? You want to report me to the police?"

"Y-Yes! You, you committed violence-, no, murder and caused damage to this restaurant... I'm going to report you to the police!"

"Hehe."

Instead of answering immediately, Eiji laughed softly but everyone in the restaurant could hear it.

The chef was confused, he thought he could make the boy in front of him scared and take a step back. But instead of being scared, he made him laugh. And was it just his feelings or was he suddenly not feeling well?

He didn't know Eiji had just poisoned him with one of the colorless World Serpent poisons that spread through his breathing. Within a week, he would die of a heart attack.

Before Eiji could open his mouth, Haruno walked over to them and poured a glass of water on a nearby table into the face of one of the burly men lying on the floor.

The man gasped and opened his eyes weakly.

Haruno looked at the chef with a charming smile that dazzled the other male customers. But she slapped the chef by saying, "They didn't die even though they were badly injured... Except for the other two who might have broken bones. Did you see Eiji-kun do anything to them? He just stared at them and they were scared into unconsciousness."

"You're slandering him and are you an idiot? That girl was just talking with her mouth and the employees in this restaurant wanted to beat her up. There were many people who witnessed it. Who do you think should be reported to the police?"

"Oh and do you know me?"

The other customers who were almost fooled by the chef's words felt enlightened.

The chef's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Not only because of being caught slandering, but also because he happened to recognize the identity of the woman standing next to Eiji.

Although this was not Chiba, it did not mean that there were no people in other cities who recognized the face of the Yukinoshita family heir. Because of her social and business skills, Haruno's face was quite famous among the middle and upper class families in Japan.

Incidentally, the chef was one of the middle-class people who recognized his face. Hearing Haruno call Eiji in a familiar tone as if they had a good relationship. Offending that boy was the same as offending the heir of the Yukinoshita family.

Shortly after this, not only was he fired by his boss. At night, people like him would probably be kidnapped and drowned in Tokyo Bay.

Damn it!

The chef cursed in his heart and hurriedly knelt down in front of everyone.

"Sorry! There was a misunderstanding earlier and what Miss Haruno said was correct. That boy and even the girl behind him are not at fault. It's a mistake on our restaurant's part for not being good at controlling emotions and selling bad food."

"Please don't call the police!"

The table overturned so quickly.

The classic face-slapping scene where a pig recognizes the identity of a goose and instantly changes its attitude 180 degrees was staged.

The customers watching were dumbfounded.

They came here to eat but they didn't expect to see this kind of funny show.

"It's too late. I've already called the police and reported this restaurant!"

The voice came from another beautiful woman shouting from a certain table.

It was Shizuka Hiratsuka, she had her hands folded under her breasts and a cell phone in one hand.

There was a smile on the woman's face.

Whether it was because of Eiji's poison or the pressure of the situation was overwhelming. The chef's face looked pale and he was vomiting blood.

"...." Everyone fell silent.

Eiji looked at Haruno and the woman looked at him flirtatiously.

[Is Haruno sick?]

You are sick!

Shouldn't you be touched and in love with your sister-in-law at this moment?

Haruno complained in her heart.

Obviously she had deliberately used this opportunity to seduce that boy. But who made Eiji's brain circuits so strange?

Didn't he understand her hints?

Of course, Eiji did understand and he laughed in his heart. He didn't expect Haruno to use her face to help him in this situation.

Although without her doing that, he could solve this problem with his own power. For example, say more or less the same thing as Haruno and after that he would call the police. With many eyewitnesses, his violent actions were legitimate self-defense.

If he wanted to go faster, Eiji could throw a genjutsu at the chef so that he would admit his guilt and kneel like a dog in front of him.

[You thought of an urban protagonist and villain style problem solving method at the same time, host?]

[Incredible.]

'Oh what is this... Miss System, did your neighbor give birth?'

Miss System's praise made him feel strange.

Instead of criticizing him as usual, she was praising him. How could Eiji not suspect something was wrong with that woman?

[Rude. I'm sure this isn't the first time I've praised you. Blame your very poor memory for that.]

Those who knew Eiji well couldn't believe the boy was embarrassed.

Eiji, are you embarrassed? Real or fake?

Shizuka and Haruno looked at each other. They had finished talking to the police. However, they chose to watch from a distance because one of them knew Eiji probably wouldn't be happy if she interfered, and the other knew how to read the atmosphere more than her younger sister and didn't want all her efforts to seduce the boy to be in vain.

The two of them had a tacit understanding.

Erina who had just heard Eiji's inner voice was dumbfounded. Her face flushed slightly and she raised her voice. "What are you saying?!"

"Huh? I introduced my name. Erina, is something wrong?" Eiji asked in confusion.

"No, you were... Wait, Erina? W-Who let you call me by my first name! We... We're not that close!"

Erina was also confused but at the same time continued to scream in embarrassment.

Eiji was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's just a small matter. Because I also allow you to call me Eiji. Isn't this fair?"

"Fair?!"

"Yeah don't tell me Erina would make a big deal out of something this small?"

"Of course, I..." Erina was a tsundere, so when faced with the sly question of Eiji who knew her personality very well. She unconsciously snorted and said, "Hmph! Of course not, but... E-Eiji, you should feel honored that I allowed you to call me by my first name! Consider it a small reward for saving me."

"Thank you Erina." Eiji said with a smile. He looked like a prince on a white horse who got an award from the princess he had saved.

Erina whose brain at this point had been polluted by shoujo manga did not only think about food. Sometimes she also misses the romantic things she read in shoujo manga. So what Eiji did from the beginning until now made her a little overwhelmed.

Even more so—

[How cute. Erina is also tsundere like in the original work.]

Erina had been watching Eiji's face not because she liked him, but wasn't it natural to stare at the face of the person you were talking to?

And ever since their conversation started. Every time she heard his voice so close, she didn't see him open his mouth.

What is this?

It was obviously Eiji's voice but...

"I'm not a tsundere!"

"Um... Erina, when did I call you a tsundere?"

"...."

Seeing Eiji's confused face and feeling the gazes of many people as they talked while standing next to the table. Erina couldn't stop feeling embarrassed, she was having trouble maintaining her Nakiri family's young lady image.

And yes, now even though she thought it was absurd...

She was convinced that she could somehow hear Eiji's inner voice!

Still, what exactly was the so-called 'original work'?

Why was it that in his heart, Eiji spoke as if he knew her very well?

Erina was curious, she wanted to try saying that she could hear his inner voice arrogantly. But, she couldn't do that because when she wanted to do that, she lost her voice and was speechless.

"...!"

"Erina, what do you want to say? I didn't hear it."

As a veteran in this matter. On the surface, Eiji asked in confusion as if he didn't know.

Erina trusted the boy's reaction and could only say something else. "I... Never mind. I just wanted to ask what the two women's names were. It seems like they both know you."

Erina did not realize but when he said that while staring at the two women in question in the distance. Her voice was somewhat prickly as if she was displeased.

Instead of panicking and getting nervous like some harem protagonists out there, Eiji was happy and said casually. "Yes, those two know me. One of them is a teacher at my school, Shizuka Hiratsuka and the other is her best friend, Haruno Yukinoshita. Before the commotion, we happened to be having breakfast at one of the tables."

He's not lying, right?

What he said was true except he forgot to add other details such as his fiancée and sister-in-law who was trying to seduce him.

He—Eiji Seiya—is an honest man!

[Shameless!]

Miss System quickly corrected her host's words.

She was a good system.

"Oh... I'll remember the names of the three of you. Now I'm going back!"

Erina turned her face away from Eiji. She was worried that if she continued to stay here with that boy, she would lose all her composure and make a fool of herself.

So goodbye and we'll meet again in the future!

With the energy the Nakiri family had in this country, getting detailed information on just someone by name was a piece of cake!

Erina decided to talk to her grandfather after she returned and told him what happened to his granddaughter at this restaurant.
