Hiro hummed to himself and sat by the kitchen, he smirked as Erina barged out and said angrily "What do you mean I have to do everything myself!? You don't have cooks?! Plus, you have the God Tongue?! First I've heard of it!" Hiro's head was buzzing as he said "Alright, just relax. You want this to be ezpz or do you want a challenge?"
He shook his head and continued "Why are you upset? This is one of the most popular restaurants in the world. I'm teaching you what it takes to run an actual restaurant, take this as a challenge instead of complaining. Soma would take it in stride and try his best." Erina was silent and clenched her fists at the thought of Soma.
Hiro suddenly sneered "Unless, you don't think you can do it. In which case..." he stood up and sighed "I'll just do it myself, you can watch..." Erina grabbed his arm and said through gritted teeth "I'll do it." Hiro grinned and said "How's this sound, let's make a bet. If you can keep the Restaurant afloat and make a profit during this week, I'll grant you one wish. It can be anything."
Erina pursed her lips and said "If I lose?" Hiro grinned and said "If you lose, you only have to do one thing." Erina raised a brow and said quickly "Well? What is it?" Hiro grinned evilly and spat out "Go on a date with Soma."
Erina turned white and said "W-What!?" before blushing deeply. Hiro burst out laughing and Erina stomped her foot on the floor before storming into the kitchen. Hiro just smiled happily and shouted "So yeah? Deal?" Erina shouted "You damn pervert!"
Hiro was stunned and confused, he turned around and saw Zerotwo looking at him with narrowed eyes. He was oblivious and threw his hands up in confusion, saying "How am I a pervert, love?" Zerotwo's eyes went to norm al and softened as she looked at his confused face, she couldn't help but laugh and stroke his cheek, saying "You're so cute~!" Hiro was even more confused and Zerotwo walked away silently.
He was stunned.
Did she just agree that he was a pervert!?
He pointed at her with his mouth open wide, unable to speak a word. He just couldn't believe it!
Zerotwo laughed and walked into the kitchen, leaving a stunned Hiro behind her.
Hiro pouted "I'm just trying to set up my ship. Nobody understands me." he walked to the window and placed his hand on it, looking out to the distance before sighing ruefully.
It was as if his wife went to war and he wondered if she would come back.
Zerotwo peeked at him from the kitchen and burst out laughing.
A while later
Hiro was sitting in the restaurant floor, taking down orders and relaying them to Erina via radio like he did before. It was quite handy to do this! He didn't even have to move! What's more, he didn't need to hear her complain!
What a blissful life~!
He served wine to the customers and laughed with them, hearing them talk about what was going on in their lives and stuff. It was quite peaceful.
Suddenly!
A man walked in and Hiro frowned, looking at him.
What the fuck was the Pope doing here.
Hiro looked at the Pope and said mentally "Clank, what's up with this guy." Clank was silent for a moment before saying [He's a God Whisperer.] Hiro lifted his eyebrows and asked "God Whisperer?"
Clank seemed to be shocked and replied [God Whisperers are mortals that can hear gods under the right conditions, they are very special. It's the lowest form of a God's acknowledgement but it's still extraordinary.] Hiro replied, surprised, "Can the Pope on Earth Prime talk to Gods?"
Clank replied [I don't know. I don't think so, Earth Prime is thoroughly protected. Gods cannot interfere easily, they can take souls and manipulate some things but nothing major. Obviously the death of a few people through intervention isn't anything major. There's loopholes to everything though...]
Hiro waited and Clank said [For example, Charles Manson was a God Whisperer too.] Hiro made an 'O' with his mouth and Clank continued [Yeah, except he didn't talk to a god... Hence the Murders.] Hiro said "Wow, that's crazy. So if you're a God Whisperer, you can talk to higher level beings? Doesn't matter who or what they are?"
Clank confirmed [Yes. That's why it's very dangerous to be one of these people in a world without powers. The train of thought of a God Whisperer is unknown to everyone except himself. The God can even squeeze in a little bit of charm.]
Hiro blinked and Clank explained [For the God Whisperer, so he/she can charm the masses. Who would listen to a Cult leader if he doesn't have charisma? It's so minimal that the protection doesn't even activate. That's why only some people listen while others are confused as to why someone would give in to a mental case. That's also-]
Hiro cut him off and mumbled "That's why they target weak willed people for cults... Because their charm is more effective for them... I see... Clank, you said that Earth Prime is protected but it seems that's not the case?"
Clank replied [It's not that it's not protected. It's that, the protection is against threats of higher beings like Gods, etc. There's always a loophole to something no matter how hard it is to find. Just a book here and there about a god or demon and a person can open up a channel to the God/Demon. The prerequisite is that the person is a God Whisperer and they stumble upon something that would allow them to contact the specific God/Demon. It's like Praying basically.]
Hiro nodded, understanding what Clank was saying and asked "Is it possible to know what God this guy is praying to?" Clank replied [... It depends. But despite himself being a God Whisperer, he hasn't talked to any Gods.]
Hiro nodded and muttered "Merge all my Chests into Demi-God chests."
[You've received 2 Demi-God Mystery Chests]
Hiro said "That's 6, now open one."
[Congratulations! You've received Ultimate Supreme Meridians!]
Hiro was confused before his face turned pale and he went upstairs.
He collapsed on the ground and writhed in pain as his insides felt like they were on fire. He was forcefully creating meridians in his body and perfecting them to the peak and beyond!
