Chapter 592 Erina’s Invitation

"Um, you've done Totsuki Academy a great favor this time. If you don't mind, please stay. We will definitely entertain you with our finest cuisine." Seeing Miu's slightly dazed expression, Senzaemon tentatively asked.

He could naturally see that Miu was no ordinary person. Although he didn't know where she came from or what her terrifying abilities were, befriending her could only be beneficial. Especially since she had just helped Totsuki Academy resolve a major crisis.

Although Totsuki Academy was powerful and held a transcendent position in this world, if too many people died here, it would certainly face public criticism. Moreover, the students here mostly had significant backgrounds.

And some people with ulterior motives wouldn't care whether it was a natural disaster or man-made... they would only see the result.

"Cuisine? No thanks. I need to let my brother know where I am first, otherwise he'll worry." Hearing Senzaemon's words, Miu waved her hand. She didn't believe anyone in this world could cook better than Takeru, especially not using those special ingredients.

Then, Miu took out her satellite phone and called Takeru, but saw there was no signal.

"Eh, what's going on? Why is there no signal?" Seeing the phone's signal display, Miu was stunned.

"Uh, do you need a phone? I can lend you one." Seeing Miu take out a phone, Senzaemon breathed a small sigh of relief. Using electronics meant she wasn't from some primitive forest.

Most importantly, being literate meant better communication.

"Uh, thanks." Taking the phone Senzaemon offered, Miu didn't overthink. She quickly dialed a number and called. But the phone said the number was out of service. This completely confused her.

She couldn't have remembered Takeru's number wrong. And looking at the number displayed, she hadn't dialed incorrectly.

Thinking this, she tried again with the same result. Then, she called Emilia directly, also out of service.

Finally, she called Miki, and the call actually went through, but the person who answered spoke a foreign language, leaving Miu completely confused.

"Are you alright?" Seeing Miu's actions and expression changes, Senzaemon grew worried, afraid that Miu, with her explosive power, might do something uncontrollable.

"Why is the number out of service? Is this really Tokyo?" Then, Miu became a bit nervous, staring intently at Senzaemon.

"Yes, this is Totsuki Culinary Academy in Tokyo, Japan. It's commonly abbreviated as 'Totsuki Academy.'" Seeing Miu's tension, this time it was Erina, who had just walked over, who answered.

Although the scene was somewhat grim, worried Miu might disappear again, Erina decided to come out and see if she could make friends with her.

"Erina, why did you come out?" Seeing Erina appear, Senzaemon frowned. After all, Miu's intentions were still unclear. He had come out because he was the director and had a duty to assess the nature of this suddenly arrived Miu.

"I'm sorry, Director." Seeing Senzaemon's displeasure, Hisako quickly apologized.

"I came out on my own. As one of Totsuki's [Elite Ten], I have a duty to welcome our academy's benefactor." Hearing Senzaemon's words, Erina spoke logically.

"You... alright." Seeing Erina's action, Senzaemon sighed helplessly. Due to his affection for his granddaughter, he wouldn't scold Erina, only worry for her safety.

"Wendy, can you contact Onii-chan?" Miu ignored Erina's appearance and their conversation, looking directly at Wendy.

"No. Although there's still a faint connection to Master, it's very weak. I can't sense his location or communicate with him." Hearing Miu's words, Wendy closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then directly shook her head.

"How can this be? Onii-chan will be worried sick if he can't find me. And isn't this Tokyo? Why is it so strange?" Hearing Wendy's words, a hint of worry finally appeared in Miu's eyes.

"Are you alright?" Noticing Miu fall silent, Erina looked at her with concern.

"It seems I can't reach my brother, or my other sisters and friends." Hearing Erina's words, Miu said worriedly.

"You can't contact your family or friends?" Seeing Miu's expression, Erina asked with surprise.

"Yes. The phone numbers are out of service, and my phone has no signal at all." Sighing, Miu took out her own phone.

Erina looked at Miu's phone and indeed saw no signal. She also noticed the phone looked somewhat unusual, but with so many phones in the world, she didn't think much of it.

"How about this? If you don't mind, stay at Totsuki for now. We'll help contact your brother. Totsuki has considerable influence... we might be able to find him soon." Knowing Miu couldn't contact her family, Erina invited her to stay.

"Well, I suppose that's the only option for now." Hearing Erina's words and looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Miu had to nod. With Wendy's protection, Miu wasn't too worried about her safety.

Seeing that Erina had managed to calm Miu, Senzaemon breathed a sigh of relief.

Most importantly, Miu seemed easy to talk to. As for the cold-eyed Wendy, he hesitated and decided to leave her to Erina. Perhaps girls communicated better.

"By the way, I'm Nakiri Erina. This is my secretary, Arato Hisako. Just call me Erina. Is that your little sister over there? And what are you riding?" Then, Erina introduced herself, curious about the cold Wendy and the adorable Filolial.

"Yes, this is my little sister Wendy. But besides my brother, she rarely talks or smiles. As for what we're riding, it's a Filolial. My brother brought seven back. This is Chi-chan."

Seeing the curious Erina, Miu introduced them, waving to show she didn't need to worry about Wendy.

Knowing Wendy's identity might cause a stir, she didn't reveal it.

"By the way, let's go inside. Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat. I'm quite confident in my cooking." Then, Erina looked at Miu expectantly.

Because of Miu's performance earlier, Erina felt a sense of admiration towards her and looked forward to Miu enjoying her cooking.

"Sister's cooking? Maybe later. I just ate." Hearing this, Miu smiled and shook her head. Having grown accustomed to the high-level dishes made by Takeru and the others, she wasn't very interested in ordinary cooking.

"Is that so? Then let's go inside first." Erina sighed with slight disappointment, then invited Miu inside with Hisako.

Although Senzaemon still had many questions, seeing that Miu seemed to have been caught up in some incident, he decided to ask later.

As for the scene, the remaining officers and some special security hired by Totsuki were quickly cleaning up.

Senzaemon sighed.

As director, he now had to deal with this matter. The sudden appearance of monsters and the deaths of officers and wealthy students were very troublesome.

At the same time, he looked warily at the place where the monsters had appeared. He had just suspected that since monsters and Miu could come from there, maybe they could go back.

But fearing more monsters might appear, he didn't mention it.

With Miu staying, she could provide combat support, and there were many things he wanted to understand. Of course, he didn't plan to keep Miu here forever... that was unrealistic and impossible.

So, while having people guard the area, the director's phone quickly rang. In this age of advanced communication, news of the incident had spread.

Totsuki Academy, the monsters, and the superpowered girl had drawn the world's attention.

Many reporters were gathered outside the gates, blocked from entering. But some powerful individuals also wanted to know exactly what had happened.
