Chapter 3 - Bathtub

After returning from the world of Natsume's Book of Friends, Emiya appeared back in his own room.

The short trip made Emiya realize the limitations of his transmigration ability, but Emiya didn't give up. Instead, after a few minutes of rest, he began his second transmigration.

But before his second transmigration, Emiya still used his psychic power to form a sphere and protect himself within it. Then, Emiya activated his transmigration ability.

The next second, he vanished from his room.

Just like last time, Emiya's vision blurred, and he arrived in a new world. But this time, Emiya didn't appear in a bathroom.

He appeared in a luxurious bathhouse. With a splash, Emiya fell into the water again. But the psychic sphere still protected Emiya, pushing the surrounding water away.

Emiya looked around and found that the bathhouse was either part of a private villa or a luxurious hotel. The overall decor was very high-end and luxurious. The style was also very Japanese.

Is there something wrong with my transmigration ability? The last time it was a bathroom, and this time it's a bathhouse. What's going on?

As for whether this was his own problem, Emiya didn't even consider it. He wasn't that kind of person.

"Who... who are you?"

At that moment, a timid voice came from behind him.

Emiya was stunned and turned around, finding a blonde woman soaking in the bathtub behind him.

The woman was submerged from the neck down, and he could only see a blurry face. The steam from the water obstructed Emiya's vision.

Emiya couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he could tell she was horrified. After all, if a stranger suddenly appeared in your bathroom while you were taking a bath, you would be terrified too.

If Emiya were in the same situation, he would definitely be very uncomfortable.

So, Emiya quickly turned back around, jumped out of the tub, and landed on the side, asking, "I'm sorry, but can you tell me where this is?"

But the blonde woman didn't immediately answer. After a long half-minute of silence, she slowly said, "This is Totsuki Resort."

Totsuki Resort?

Emiya was stunned. Then he remembered the woman's shiny blonde hair and suddenly understood.

He tentatively asked, "So, you're Erina Nakiri? And this is the Totsuki Friendship and Liaison Training Camp?"

The blonde woman's voice immediately disappeared, and she didn't answer Emiya this time.

But Emiya knew he was right.

"Don't be nervous. I don't have any ill intentions toward you." Emiya said calmly. "I'll go outside first. We can talk after you finish your bath and get dressed."

With that, Emiya opened the bathhouse door, walked through the changing room, and went outside. Luckily, no one was outside the women's bathhouse, so no one saw Emiya walk out so openly.

Emiya sighed in relief. At least he wouldn't be mistaken for a pervert.

But Emiya didn't expect his second transmigration to be to Totsuki Resort. He was aiming for the world of Toriko before transmigrating. Yet he ended up in Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma.

Emiya was now basically certain that his transmigration was random and not under his control.

But since he was in the world of Food Wars!, should he bring a few chefs back to cook for him? Emiya couldn't help but wonder.

A little while later, the blonde woman, now dressed, walked out of the women's bathhouse.

Emiya looked closely and saw that she was indeed wearing the Totsuki uniform, and her face beneath the blonde hair was that of the tsundere Erina Nakiri.

"Who exactly are you?" Erina Nakiri asked.

Now that she was dressed, Erina Nakiri seemed to have put on a suit of armor. She looked at Emiya with a wary expression, and her voice was no longer as timid as before, but full of intimidation.

But Emiya could still hear a hint of weakness behind the intimidating voice.

It looks like she's not as strong as she seems.

Emiya tried to soften his voice. "If you don't mind, can we talk in your room?"

Erina Nakiri instinctively took a step back, her voice trembling slightly. "What do you... want to do?"

Emiya saw her reaction and couldn't help but shake his head. "Never mind. It looks like you're not ready. Let's talk after you've prepared yourself."

With that, Emiya turned and walked away.

While he was interested in Erina Nakiri, she wasn't the only option. In the world of Food Wars!, there were many beautiful female chefs. Megumi Tadokoro was one of them.

And besides Megumi Tadokoro, there was Rindo Kobayashi, Momo Akanegakubo, and the other graduates of the Elite Ten: Fuyumi Mizuhara, Takumi Kaki, and Konoka Kikusaki.

Even Alice Nakiri was an option.

The reason Erina Nakiri was so wary of Emiya was that he had called out her name as soon as he spoke.

She thought he was after her, but she didn't expect him to leave so readily. She was a little shocked. At first, she thought he was just playing hard to get.

The story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was very popular in their country.

But when Erina Nakiri saw that Emiya wasn't turning back and was about to walk out of her sight, she suddenly gritted her teeth and ran after him.

"Please wait."

As a girl who liked to read manga, she was also a little curious about Emiya. After all, the way Emiya appeared was too strange. So her intuition told her that this man was not simple.

Either way, it's better to talk first.

Emiya heard Erina Nakiri's call, stopped, and turned to look at her. "So, you're ready now?"

Erina Nakiri nodded. "I'm willing to talk to you."

"Then let's go to your room."

"What about the restaurant?" Erina Nakiri asked back. Compared to her empty room, she felt the restaurant was a better option. If the man tried anything, she could just scream.

Emiya didn't think much of it and nodded readily. "That works too."

"Then follow me." Erina Nakiri sighed in relief. She now felt that this man probably didn't have any malicious intentions toward her.

Under Erina Nakiri's lead, Emiya went to the Totsuki Resort restaurant. But on the way, they ran into Erina Nakiri's trusted aide, Hisako Arato.

"Lady Erina." Hisako Arato had just finished her task for the day and was looking for her young lady, but she didn't expect to run into her on the way.

But what she didn't expect even more was that a strange boy was with her young lady.

Hisako Arato discreetly looked Emiya over, all the while wondering who this man was that Lady Erina would personally attend to him.

"Hisako..." Erina Nakiri was not surprised to see Hisako Arato here, because she knew that as soon as Hisako finished her task, she would come to find her.

This was something they had built over many years of tacit understanding.

So she turned to look at Emiya and asked, "She's my most trusted person. Can I bring her with me?"

Hisako Arato's face flushed red when she heard this. My... my most trusted person? So Lady Erina thinks of me like that. Hisako, Hisako, you must not disappoint Lady Erina's expectations.

Hisako Arato secretly made up her mind.

Emiya nodded. "Of course."

He would never refuse a good thing like a two-for-one deal. After all, Hisako Arato's cooking was not bad either, and she was an expert in medicinal cuisine. Emiya had no reason to refuse.

So the two of them became three.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they found a secluded spot near the edge to sit.

After sitting down, Erina Nakiri looked Emiya directly in the eyes and said, "Now, can you tell me what you want to talk about?"

Emiya thought for a moment and said, "Before we talk, let me introduce myself. My name is Emiya, and I'm a superpower user and a traveler."

"A traveler?" Erina Nakiri was a little confused.

"A superpower user?" While Hisako Arato was shocked.

They were focusing on completely different things.

Erina Nakiri wasn't surprised by Emiya being a superpower user, since she had seen him appear out of nowhere in the bathroom, which was something a normal person couldn't do.

But she never expected Emiya to call himself a traveler.

Meanwhile, Hisako Arato found it unbelievable.

Does a person in real life really claim to be a superpower user? Is this guy suffering from chuunibyou?

Erina Nakiri rubbed her temples and asked, "Is the traveler you're talking about the same kind of traveler I'm thinking of?"

Hisako Arato was a little stunned.

Is that what my young lady is worried about? Shouldn't it be the superpower user thing?

Emiya nodded. "That's right, it's the same kind of traveler you're thinking of. But I don't travel around the world; I travel through different worlds. For example, the world you live in, a world with yokai, or another world, and so on."

"What are you talking about?"

"How is that possible?"

Both of them were shocked. Erina Nakiri even slammed the table and shouted, which instantly drew the attention of many people.

"Oh, isn't that the Nakiri family's young lady?"

"That's right, the God's Tongue herself."

"It seems like she's having a dispute with that boy. Who is that guy?"

"I don't know him. Does anyone?"

Emiya looked helpless. Erina Nakiri's face was flushed, but her eyes were full of disbelief. Traveling through worlds?

This was too much for a normal human to handle. How could something so absurd happen in real life?
