Volume 1: Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma and Orario Chapter 006 I Think Therefore I Am
"What the hell is going on here? Why is my story being drawn into a comic, or am I just a comic character?"
Two hours later, after roughly reviewing the plot of the Shokugeki no Soma manga, Erina Nakiri finally couldn't help but threw the last volume of the manga on the coffee table and screamed at Emiya.
After all, this comic book series basically exposed all her secrets, and she herself was quite embarrassed.
To be honest, it is not easy to finish reading this set of comics.
Especially when she realized that her privacy was exposed to the eyes of the whole world , Erina Nakiri even had the thought that she might as well die.
Natsume Takashi on the side
Emiya put down his phone and said calmly: "To be honest, I'm not really sure."
"Huh?" Erina Nakiri's face looked a little broken.
Emiya said, "Let me ask you another question. Do you think you are a comic character?"
"me……"
Nakiri Erina didn't know what to say for a moment. If it was two hours ago, she would definitely sneer at this remark. Huh? I am the great Nakiri Erina, the owner of the Divine Tongue, one of the Ten Elites of Totsuki Academy, and a character in a comic book.
There's a limit to joking. Do you really think I won't get angry?
but now……
She looked down at the comics on the coffee table, her eyes a little confused.
Emiya continued, "Then let me ask you a question. Do you think a comic character will leave the comics, enter the real world, and watch comics?"
"this……"
"That's impossible, right?" Emiya expressed Erina Nakiri's thoughts.
Erina Nakiri wanted to nod, she also thought it was impossible. How could a comic character appear in real life?
But if it is really impossible, then what am I?
Erina Nakiri became more and more confused. She raised her head and looked at Emiya expectantly, hoping that Emiya would give her an answer.
Emiya said: "To be honest, I don't know if you are a comic character or not, but I can assure you that my superpower is time travel. I can travel to various worlds. They are real worlds."
Nakiri Erina's expression instantly became much better, but when she saw the comics of Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, she still found it hard to let go. "Then how do you explain this?"
"It's very simple. Don't think of it as a comic. Instead, think of it as a book of prophecies. It's just presented in the form of a comic." Emiya comforted Erina Nakiri from a different perspective.
After hearing this, Erina Nakiri felt it was acceptable, and even Hisako Arato beside her felt a sense of relief.
To be honest, she did feel completely hopeless just now.
"Um..." Natsume Takashi raised his hand and said, "Can I say something?"
Emiya made a gesture of invitation.
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but look at Natsume Takashi.
Facing everyone's gaze, Natsume Takashi said in a low voice, "When I was flipping through this comic just now, I was a little surprised. I felt like I was a character in a comic book, but I soon realized that what this comic book depicts is just a part of my life."
"I have been through a lot of hardships since I was a kid, but those sad memories are neither fake nor illusory. These feelings and memories have shaped who I am today, little by little. I don't think I am a cartoon character."
"Because this feeling is not something that can be described, this memory is deeply engraved in my heart and will never fade no matter how many years pass."
"Descartes once said, I think, therefore I am."
"Now I finally understand the true meaning of this sentence. I am here, I am thinking, I am feeling, I can sit with you and discuss comics and life. These are things that cannot be described in comics."
“So, I think I’m real, the real Natsume Takashi, not just a comic character.”
"So, I think what Emiya-san said is very good. This is just a book of prophecy. What it shows us is just a part of our future, but the future is not fixed."
"Now that we know the future, we can easily change it."
"This is my idea."
After hearing this, Emiya couldn't but raise his hands and applaud. What he said was so true, worthy of Natsume. He probably saw that Erina Nakiri was hesitating, so he said this.
It's so gentle beyond imagination.
Emiya looked at Erina Nakiri, and as expected, after hearing these words, she and Hisako Arato, who were originally a little uneasy, completely relaxed.
Emiya asked, "The uneasiness should have disappeared by now."
"Yeah." Erina Nakiri nodded with a blush.
"In that case, I have a question for you?"
"Go ahead." Nakiri Erina said proudly, "But I can't promise to answer you."
But she had already decided that if the question was not too personal, she could answer it.
Emiya smiled and said, "Ms. Erina Nakiri, would you be willing to be my personal cook?"
"Huh?"
"Aha?"
"Cook?!!!" Nakiri Erina's reaction was like a cat whose tail was guessed. She almost jumped up. "Why should I be your cook? And a personal cook? I refuse. I firmly refuse."
"Won't you think about it?" Emiya asked.
"Consider it? Why should I consider it? How can I, the great God's Tongue, Erina Nakiri, become your personal cook? This kind of thing will never happen."
Erina Nakiri shook her head.
Seeing this, Niito Hisako couldn't help but pull on Erina Nakiri's clothes. My lady, you are still in the other person's house. It's too arrogant to not give him face.
Erina Nakiri reacted immediately after being pulled by Hisako Arato . She looked at Emiya warily, "If I refuse, you won't use any despicable means to force me to submit, will you?"
Emiya couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person. Besides, if I refuse, the one who loses is you, not me."
Erina Nakiri looked incredulous. How could this be possible if I, Erina Nakiri, were the one who would suffer the loss by refusing to be your personal cook?
The cat teacher licked his paw with his tongue and said with a half-smile: "Little girl named Erina Nakiri, this guy is not lying. You may not understand what it means to be able to travel through the world."
