Can We Take Her With Us!?

"Erina-sama..." Hisako got her Mistress attention." What do you mean 'not from around here', we already know that they are not from Japan..." Her secretary had confused look, don't they established that from very beginning!

"Aren't they from Europe? you already said that!"

Erina just sighed, she was trying to control her rapidly beating heart from what she just discovered herself, and now her secretary can't still get the picture?

"What I meant Hisako is that they are not from this world..." The Nakiri Heiress said that while looking at Raynor for confirmation.

"W-What b-b-but that impossible!!!" The girl said with shell shocked look to which Raynor and Arno just deadpanned at.

"And... this is what I meant when I said about 'world-shaking' this is what I have to get used to, at least your reaction is more controlled," Raynor said with an exaggerated sigh.

"It IS hard to believe." the orange-haired girl slowly nodded but then she had serious look." But it makes sense, my family has very extensive network throughout the world, even in third rate countries, and none of them ever slipped anything about supernatural, so I do believe you and your... demonstration was proof enough as it is." Erina believed what he was an outsider to their world.

"Good! that means we have established the fact about my origins, now I think it's time for us to go, there is still some stuff I want to taste before we need to leave." Raynor grabbed Arno by his collar, and then gave a wink to the Heiress." And make sure you read what cultivation truly means Erina, and if you interest I will give one of kind ingredients to play with." After saying that Raynor used his 'Dragon Leaping' to literally, just disappear from the kitchen, shocking both girls.

It took several minutes for them to get past this and only then did the girl realised something!

"D-Did he just called me by my first name?" Erina said while trying not to explode with blush.

~~~

Just as Raynor suggested Erina was reading about cultivation on internet.

It was quite a read, while there is nothing concrete about this, only fictional stuff, she understood key points, training to point they can do supernatural thing, and then absorbing some sort of energy and then having 'breakthroughs' which lead to a higher level of power to point that their lifespan increases and they can do incredible feats of strength... the end goal of all cultivators being...godhood...

After reading this Erina remembered what Raynor and his blond friend said in that small forest.

'They called normal people 'mortals', implying that they are not 'mortal' or at least in Raynor-san case, and the blond said that he is still mortal, does that mean that Raynor-san is some sort higher existence? but he doesn't give that feeling that he is some sort old being who spend hundreds of years perfecting his art.' The Heiress in a way was confused about this, so she spend another day reading through stuff on her laptop.

~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~

It was something new to The Nakiri Heiress, one of the guests called Hisako and told that they are cancelling their booking.

Something like that never happened to her before!

But, then very next moment her phone, started ringing again, it was Raynor he was booking a table for tonight.

That lead Erina to believe that he did something to that guest for them to cancel their booking...

It was flattering and somewhat terrifying that he can do such things.

Then again this is another chance for her to talk to him, she wants to know what kind of food they have in his world...

This idea alone opened so many doors for her! New types of food ingredients! like animals, plants, vegetables, fruits the list goes on and on!

'And if he can travel more then one world?'

All of this made her more and more excited, by this point she pretty much knows all the ingredients found on Earth by hand, there is, of course, cases where new stuff is found, but none of them are eye-openers!!! or world shakers, but if she can somehow travel with him...

Erina quickly shook her head trying to push this idea aside.

It was the third day of the banquet and she was already tired, to point that she wants this to be over and the same time she does not.

The sole reason why is that she has no idea if her new...friend will stop coming to Totsuki, now more then ever before she wants to learn and study more.

Now, she truly knows how the explorers felt in 15 century when they discovered America for the 'first' time.

"Erina-sama he is here... and...Ummm..." Hisako was a little bit nervous when she said that.

"Hmm? That's great, but why are you nervous?" Erina was curious.

"Well, he didn't came with his friend... instead he came with a girl..." Erina eyes widened and then she felt very, very alien feeling slam into her.

"And...who is this...this girl?" Erina tried to sound as neutral as possible.

"Erina-sama you should see for yourself." Hisako motioned for her Mistress to look at them herself.

And Erina did so, when saw the table and two individuals seating there her eyes widened, as what she saw was girl younger than her by few years, but that was not what shocked her so much, no... it was her looks, she never saw such pretty girl before, she was quite literally dressed in crimson, while she had a simple crimson dress and yet, it could not lesser the sheer fact that she was insanely beautiful, it was not just her looks what Erina found stunning, but her eyes and hair which were crimson as well, she saw such hair colour before, one of the elite ten is redhead as well, but this younger girl...she gives the same feeling as Raynor does...

'Is this girl is cultivator of high level like Raynor-san?'

Then like knowing the girl looked at Erina, crimson met purple for second, that moment Erina felt like she saw very little of life... the gaze the girl was giving her was nothing like she ever felt before!

It's as if she has been seen through, it's like this girl can see through her very soul, nothing is hidden from her.

The crimson-haired girl motioned for her to come.

Moments later the Heiress was in front of Raynor and the crimson-haired girl.

"Hello, Erina! this is my adopter sister Xing Tong! I told her that you can make one of the best desserts in the world! so I brought her here! can you make anything interesting with strawberries?" Raynor asked curiously the Heiress of Nakiri Clan, while his crimson-haired adopted sister just looked at Erina with unreadable expression.

"Yes, of course! do you have any preferences?" She asked her.

"...I would like it with vanilla ice cream, and a little bit of chocolate syrup..." Xing Tong finally spoke after thinking for a minute.

Erina's slightly shook after hearing the younger girl's voice, how can someone have such a melodious voice? did she ever thought about singing professionally before?

"Alright, I know several ones with that combination and for you Raynor-san?" Xing Tong eyebrow twitched when she heard the way The Nakiri Heiress spoke her big brother's name.

"Same as hers actually, I doubt she will be satisfied with only one dessert, we might order more later," Raynor said with a smirk, which earned a pout from the crimson-haired girl.

Erina nodded and excused herself and then returned to the kitchen to make the desserts, but first she needs to call some people, because she has no ingredients with their specifications in her kitchen at this moment...

In truth It's not on the menu, to begin with! her theme for this Banquet was French, she selected that on a whim, and desserts she had were with lemons orientated...

Now, she needs to get some Strawberries, good thing was that she many people on quick dial, who can get her what she needs.

~~~

And so twenty minutes later she had desserts and other regular dishes for other customers ready.

In other words even if she was by means and purposes asked to make a dish outside the menu she would still be capable of making it on time, and that is something she proud of, especially if it's inside Totsuki grounds.

'Now, this is my second chance! I am going to make him acknowledge that my cooking is more than just great!' There was fire burning in Nakiri Heiress's eyes as she was taking desserts to Raynor's table.

~~~

Few moments later Erina has put the desserts on the table and the crimson-haired girl's eyes lit up seeing the strawberry dessert on the table.

She quickly picked up the spoon and dived in, while Raynor just shook his head seeing how the Crown Princess of a Star God Realm is behaving in front of sweets.

Not that he can't see the reason for it, the desserts look stunning, and it's made by one of the best chef's in this world, that's why he is not teasing her.

The moment the dessert ended up in Xing Tong mouth...

"Ahhh...so good!!!"

...

...

...

It took her around three seconds to realise that she was not alone, that she was among mortals, and that she was making borderline perverted noises, and that everyone is looking at her, with blushing cheeks, it didn't matter if it was old man, or young woman, everyone had that look...

And now Xing Tong was in the middle of it!

That moment her cheeks exploded into the same colour as her hair, and she was about to do something crazy, it's something she always does when she ends up in embarrassing situations.

Milliseconds later everyone felt chills going down their spines...

But, everyone were saved thanks to Raynor timely rescue, which is squeezing Xing Tong's nose...

*Girly squeak*

"Now, now Tong'er control yourself." Raynor sofly said that.

Xing Tong pouted for a second then she crossed her arms and looked away.

The whole thing only lasted a few moments before she returned to her dessert.

For second Raynor looked around and saw that everyone was back to eating and some of the people were a little bit scared as they don't know why they felt that chill, only Erina it seems made the connection.

After finishing that dessert, Xing Tong wanted more, obviously, and this way they spend several hours there until it was time to close the booth.

"H-How can she eat so many sweets!?" Hisako asked with an utterly shocked look!

"Even I don't know to be perfectly honest..." Raynor said with a sigh, even with his powers he has no clue how Xing Tong does that.

Once the Crimson girl was done with her dessert she looked at Erina with pouty look, as if she wants more, the Nakiri Heiress was exposed to one of the most dangerous weapons in the multiverse.

She was about to cave in but Raynor blocked the view for her.

"I believe it's enough Tong'er," Raynor said with narrowed eyes.

There was a battle of wills for second before the crimson-haired girl caved in and surrendered.

"Fine! But can we take her with us!?" Xing Tong said seriously.

Erina eyes widened in shock.

"W-What?!"

"Tong'er we can't just take people like that..." Raynor sighed, while he would love to just take the girl and return home, it doesn't work that way...

"B-But she is wasted here! Imagine what she could do in our Base world!!!" Xing Tong said with nearly drooling look, she can imagine all strawberry based desserts with all the fruits available in Primal Chaos!!! and that is just beginning! with her big brother power to travel anywhere she could do so much more!

"You mean in our household?" Raynor just teased his little sister, who instantly blushed and looked away, finding that a table is more interesting than the conversation.

While Raynor just looked back at Erina with a slightly embarrassed look.

"My apologies, my little sister is quite spoiled, it's hard to say no to her." Raynor apologised to the Heiress.

Erina quickly waved her hands in front of her, she was slightly embarrassed as well, she didn't wanted Raynor apologising like that.

"It's alright..." Her eyes then slightly had a certain glint in them." Why... don't you visit me tomorrow!? That's if you don't mind of course? I can always make some more of these desserts?" Erina offered with a small smile on her face.
