Chapter 130
Seemingly noticing that someone was watching her, Tatsumaki turned her head and glanced toward Erina.
"Were you also brought here by this bastard using some unknown method?"
Erina took a deep breath, trying her hardest to suppress the turmoil in her heart.
She looked at Tatsumaki and said calmly:
"Mineo-kun and I are good friends. I came to this shop as a guest!"
"Friends? In other words, you two are accomplices?"
"Hey, hey, Tatsumaki, can you stop making wild guesses over there? I simply invited you for a meal. Why make it sound like I'm going to harm you?"
Hearing Mineo actually call out her name, Tatsumaki's eyes snapped back to him.
"You bastard, you know me?"
"Well, it makes sense. My great name—who in the entire world hasn't heard of it?"
"Since you already know about me and still have the guts to use a method to move me here, you've got some nerve!"
"What is this place? Answer me, fast!"
"I'll give you five seconds... no, I'll give you three!"
"If you don't answer, I'll crush this restaurant of yours into dust in an instant, believe it or not?!"
"I'm telling you, you bastard, hurry up and answer! If you keep quiet, I'm really going to act!!!"
The words flowed from Tatsumaki's mouth incessantly, like rounds from a machine gun.
And at that moment, a system voice suddenly echoed in Mineo's mind.
[Ding... Detected that the guest who has arrived possesses extremely powerful superpowers, and the guest's temperament appears unfriendly. The Dimensional Restaurant's defense features have been automatically activated!]
[Ding... To ensure the Host's safety, you will temporarily receive a Max-Level Superpower Experience Card!]
[Max-Level Superpower Experience Card: Once used, as long as the Host remains within the restaurant and the surrounding area, you will possess invincible superpowers!]
The moment the system voice faded, Mineo suddenly felt as if the world around him had merged completely with his being.
It was as if with a single thought, he could even shatter the flow of time and the barriers of space within the restaurant's vicinity.
Is this the power of a max-level esper?
Based on the data sent by the system, Mineo understood that he only held this god-like power while within the bounds of the Dimensional Restaurant. It was a defensive measure provided by the system to prevent guests from causing a scene.
Tatsumaki's power level was rated as S+ by the system, but as long as he didn't leave the one-kilometer radius of the restaurant, his power level was SSSSSSS+...
In other words, he could suppress Tatsumaki just by moving his pinky finger, couldn't he?
Thinking of this, Mineo unconsciously gave Tatsumaki a smile that held a hidden, mischievous intent.
As for Tatsumaki, seeing Mineo's expression caused her temper to hit a breaking point.
"You scumbag, what's with that look!"
"Do you think I don't have the guts to do it, huh?"
In the next second, Tatsumaki floated into the air.
A dark green radiance erupted around her entire body.
Instantly, the tables, chairs, pots, bowls, plates, and cutlery in the restaurant all levitated into the air under Tatsumaki's psychic control.
"I'm giving you one last chance! Spit it out and be honest!"
"Who exactly are you, and what method did you use to transport me here!"
"If you still don't answer, I'll smash this crappy restaurant of yours to pieces!!!!"
Even Erina's body began to lift off the ground under the weight of Tatsumaki's power.
Unconsciously, she let out a small cry, looking at Mineo with a sense of panic.
"Mineo, this... what is happening!"
"I... I'm..."
Seeing that this woman, Tatsumaki, actually dared to act so recklessly in his restaurant, Mineo's smile widened!
He gave a casual snap of his fingers!
Snap!
The cutlery, tables, and chairs that were floating in the air instantly dropped back to their original positions.
As for Erina, her body drifted toward Mineo, and he caught her smoothly in a bridal carry!
"Don't be afraid, darling."
"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!"
"It seems today's guest is a bit unfriendly! So, I'm forced to give her a little lesson!"
Mwah!
Mineo gently kissed Erina's forehead as she lay in his arms, then neutralized the superpower effect on her and pulled her behind him.
In the next heartbeat, Mineo stepped out from behind the bar and stood directly in front of Tatsumaki!
After Tatsumaki felt her psychic grip being forcibly broken, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"So you really are a superpower user!"
"You actually managed to dispel my telekinesis. You've got some skill!"
"But did you think it was over?"
"Don't underestimate me! Now, I'll let a bastard like you see what true power looks like!"
Tatsumaki thrust her hand toward Mineo. A moment later, her entire arm glowed with a blinding green light.
Originally, Tatsumaki wanted to use her psychic force to blow Mineo away and teach him a harsh lesson.
But to her shock, her superpower had absolutely no effect on Mineo's body!
"How... how can this be?"
"Why... why isn't my power working!?"
"You... what kind of method are you using, you bastard!"
Seeing that Mineo's body hadn't moved an inch, Tatsumaki was instantly bewildered!
A second later, she thrust both hands out together.
The green light exploded!
In that moment, Tatsumaki unleashed her full strength!
Mineo could actually feel the air in front of him being compressed by Tatsumaki's psychic might.
Does she want to control the air currents to blow me away?
Mineo took a single step forward. The air in front of him suddenly detonated!
A massive, invisible wave of atmospheric pressure slammed directly into Tatsumaki.
Caught by the shockwave, Tatsumaki's body was instantly sent flying.
Her back slammed hard against the main door.
A split second later, Tatsumaki let out a cry of pain!
"Aaaaaah... you bastard... you actually dared to hit me!!!!"
"It hurts... it hurts so much...!"
