Chapter 230
Even though Takamiya Mio was as pure as a sheet of white paper, she was indeed an incredibly intelligent girl. As the Spirit of Origin, she naturally possessed an unparalleled learning ability.
No matter what Mineo etched onto this white paper, Takamiya Mio would immediately remember it in a short time. Therefore, in just one night, Takamiya Mio had learned most of the general knowledge necessary for modern society.
In the morning, several rays of sunlight pierced through the window and entered the room warmly. Mineo stood up from in front of the desk and stretched his body.
"Mio... The general knowledge that needed to be said has basically been remembered by you."
"Are there any other questions now?"
Takamiya Mio, who was sitting in front of Mineo, tilted her beautiful head and thought for a moment.
"I have remembered many things. But right now, the part about relationships in human interaction still has a few things I don't understand."
"The three Mages who created me, what should they be considered to me? Are Takamine Mineo-kun and I considered to have a friend relationship like what's mentioned in the book?"
"Mio, first of all, you have to clarify one point. You were not created by a person or a specific organization."
"You are the Spirit of Origin. You were born from the universe, so the universe itself is considered your parent."
"Those three people only gathered Spirit Mana and accelerated the process of your consciousness's birth. After you were fully born, you were born as one independent life!"
"Starting today, whatever you want to do, whatever you like or hate, it all depends on your own judgment! Including what relationship I am to you, that also depends on your own judgment!"
Hearing Mineo's words, Takamiya Mio reflected for a moment. A few seconds later, she raised her head, looked at Mineo, and smiled while saying:
"May I ask, for Mineo-kun, what kind of relationship am I considered?"
"Mineo-kun manages a restaurant. For you, am I considered a visitor, or a friend?"
"Mio is of course my friend! I only like being friends with beautiful girls!"
"Mio is very beautiful, so being your friend is a very happy thing for me!"
Hearing Mineo praise her beauty, a blush unconsciously appeared on Takamiya Mio's white face. She now already understood what the word "beautiful" meant.
For some reason, when hearing Mineo praise her, she felt an incredibly happy feeling. Takamiya Mio looked at Mineo and said in a small voice:
"Yes, Mio also really likes being friends with Mineo-kun. Mineo-kun has also treated me to so many delicious dishes, I haven't even said thank you."
"Since we are friends, there's no need to be so formal!"
"After teaching you all night, it's already light out. Mio, are you hungry? I'm going to go make breakfast. After breakfast we will part ways, is there one last wish before you go?"
...
The Dimensional Restaurant has many advantages, but there is one small restriction: temporary guests can only stay in the restaurant for 24 hours after eating. Then, they must return to their original world.
In the study session last night, Mineo had also informed Mio of this. Initially, Mio didn't feel a strong emotion when hearing this, but now, she suddenly realized that she felt a bit of a heavy heart to leave this place.
"Do I have to go back?"
Takamiya Mio bit her lip slowly. She looked a bit disappointed. The pure smile on her face slightly vanished. She lowered her head and asked in a small voice:
"I... I don't have anywhere else to go... May I stay here?"
"Didn't Mineo-kun tell me that because I have been born in this world, I have to go find my own happiness, and look for things that can make me feel happy?"
"I... feel that at Mineo-kun's place, I already have those things."
Actually, Mineo also really wanted to let Mio stay by his side forever, and there was a solution to this problem. As long as Mio could become the lady of the Dimensional Restaurant, that goal could basically be achieved.
However, Mineo now suddenly realized that he didn't have the heart to take advantage of Takamiya Mio!
The current Takamiya Mio was as pure as a sheet of white paper. Basically, whatever Mineo said, she would believe it. But precisely because of that, Mineo suddenly felt a desire to protect her purity.
A man is allowed to be a little shameless when falling in love, but he must not use just any means. Someone who uses any means will appear devious.
Therefore, even though it was very easy to turn Takamiya Mio into the restaurant owner's wife, Mineo didn't want to do it while Takamiya Mio didn't yet understand many things.
Occasionally acting based on feelings might be the true essence of why humans are called humans.
Besides the reasons above, Mineo also had other considerations. That is, besides Takamiya Mio, he also wanted to directly open access to the world of Date A Live. Well, it must be admitted here that Mineo indeed wanted Kurumi and the others.
If Mio was locked here, how could it be possible to open access to the world of Date A Live? Small children make choices, adults of course choose... ahem...
But now, seeing Takamiya Mio's gaze which seemed heavy to part and even looked a bit pitiful, Mineo thought for a moment and then said to her:
"Actually, I also don't want to part with Mio. But the restaurant's restrictions are here. However, I already have a way to solve this problem."
"Being together with Mio also makes me feel very happy. So, I want to give a gift to Mio!"
"A gift???"
Hearing Mineo's words, Takamiya Mio felt curious, while Mineo spoke at that moment:
"Right, a gift. But I will give it to you later. Mio, is there another wish today that you want to realize... I will try my best to help you realize it as much as I can!"
