Chapter 208
Hanayo looked at Mineo with extreme caution.
"Um, Mineo-kun! Do we have to walk up to you?"
"That's right. The place I'm taking you to visit is quite special. Before we go, we need to add each other as friends on our phones first."
Hearing Mineo say he wanted to add them as friends, Hanayo and Rin subconsciously exchanged glances.
They had no choice; both girls felt a bit panicked. Just yesterday they were chatting about how it seemed all of Mineo-kun's female friends ended up being "claimed" by him.
Now, could it be that he was starting to make a move on the two of them, who were just ordinary followers? Despite their complex feelings, Hanayo and Rin still complied and became Mineo's friends.
After adding them, Mineo called everyone to gather around.
"Today I will host you all for a meal at my restaurant. It isn't far and we'll be there soon. After we eat, I'll be responsible for seeing you all home safely."
"You don't need to worry about a thing."
Hearing Mineo's words, Honoka subconsciously asked:
"Isn't Mineo-oniichan's Maid Cafe in Akihabara? Then why don't we just gather there directly?"
"That restaurant in Akihabara was a temporary one I opened. Actually, besides that one, I have another restaurant that is very special."
"This will be explained later. Now, I will start taking you there!"
As Mineo's sentence ended, he took a single step forward, and instantly, a dreamlike, beautiful rainbow light glowed around his feet.
As for Minami Kotori and the others, they were also surrounded by that same rainbow light at that moment.
The girls stared at all of this blankly; they were completely bewildered!
Before anyone could regain their senses, the scenery around them changed in a flash.
The next second, when the girls opened their eyes, they realized they were no longer in front of the shrine. Instead, they had arrived inside a very luxurious restaurant.
"Welcome, everyone, to my place!"
"This is the Dimensional Restaurant, and also my home. I hope you all receive the best service in my restaurant."
"Now, you may pick any seat you like!"
Looking at the magnificent, high-end restaurant before her eyes, Honoka walked forward a few steps in a daze.
"We... weren't we just at the shrine? Why... why are we suddenly here?"
"And... and just now, my body suddenly emitted light. Did my eyes see it wrong?"
After hearing Honoka's words, Umi also spoke with a confused feeling.
"I... I think I also saw my body emit light. But... but why did we suddenly arrive here? Is Mineo-kun showing us a magic trick?"
Just as the girls were feeling confused, a soft voice reached everyone's ears.
"It's not a magic trick. If it had to be described, you could say it's something even higher than magic!"
"Right now, you are all no longer in the world you previously lived in!"
"This is another world!"
Acting as the prospective lady of the restaurant, Nozomi walked over slowly. Eli stared at her blankly.
"Nozomi... you... you, what did you mean by that?"
"This... this is another world?"
Instantly, all the girls focused their attention on Nozomi. Nozomi then said with a smile:
"What Eli-chi said is correct. You can understand the words I just said in their literal sense."
"This is no longer the world you've lived in since you were small. To explain it in simple terms..."
"The place you are standing now is more accurately called an Isekai!"
"An Isekai!???"
That one sentence from Nozomi made Yukiho scream out in shock immediately.
"Senpai! Is all of this true?"
"We... we've really arrived in an Isekai?"
"How... how is that possible! How did we actually get here..."
Nozomi didn't answer Yukiho's words directly. Instead, she glanced at Mineo and said:
"Mineo-kun, go to the kitchen to prepare the food first. You can leave things here to me!"
"I will settle all of their confusion completely."
"Okay, then I'll leave things here to Nozomi-chan. Everyone, I'm going to the kitchen first to prepare a meal for you."
"If there are any questions, Nozomi-chan will explain them to you. Later, if there's still anything you don't understand, you can ask me while we eat!"
"I'm off then!"
Don't think that being the lady of the Dimensional Restaurant means you don't have to do any work!
As a good companion, one should actively help a big boss like Mineo resolve various small, trivial problems.
And Nozomi was truly very devoted, which is why at this moment, she voluntarily took on the responsibility of the (prospective) lady of the restaurant.
After Mineo entered the kitchen, Nozomi waved her hand, signaling for everyone to sit down together!
Once everyone was seated around the long dining table, Nozomi finally began to speak:
"I'm sorry, it seems the events just now have shocked you. But don't worry, I will provide a logical explanation for all of this!"
"This is another world!"
"It is perhaps separated by countless spaces from the world we live in."
"There are some specific details that even I can't explain very clearly, but the only thing I can tell you is: this is Mineo-kun's home!"
"Actually, the place where he has lived since he was a child is a very great distance away from the world we live in."
