If Thor and the others were angry, wasn't Liu Ming angry too?
Tadokoro Megumi was his precious disciple. If Liu Ming wasn't angry about his own disciple being spoken of this way, no one would believe it.
However, resorting to violence was too crude.
Before reopening the restaurant, he was a writer. With just half his strength, he could verbally attack someone until they couldn't function.
Liu Ming held Thor back and watched Erina with a cold gaze.
Erina was startled, her voice tense with a hint of warning.
"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't mess around. This is Totsuki Academy. If I shout, many people will come, and then you'll be in for it."
"You seem to look down on commoner cuisine very much," Liu Ming asked in a calm tone.
"Of course. Those low-grade dishes, those inferior ingredients, shouldn't exist at all."
Erina said it as a matter of course, and she had always believed it.
"Do you know the population of R?" Liu Ming suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I'm not sure about the population of R either, but it should probably exceed 100 million. Let's just say it's 100 million."
Liu Ming ignored Erina and continued talking to himself.
He continued to ask in a puzzled tone, "Then, how many chefs in all of R can cook dishes that satisfy you?"
"Is it a hundred people? Or ten thousand people?"
"What exactly are you trying to say? I don't have time to play guessing games with you." Erina began to get a little impatient listening to these irrelevant matters. However, her heart slowly started calculating along with Liu Ming's changing tone.
"Forget it, I'll say ten thousand people. After all, you have the God Tongue, so this number is already being very generous to you."
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Erina was almost driven mad by Liu Ming, who kept talking to himself.
"According to your idea, if commoner cuisine truly shouldn't exist, then the final result would be that the ten thousand chefs you acknowledge would cook for 100 million people. Each chef would have to cook 10,000 servings per meal."
"Oh, right, you also said that commoner ingredients shouldn't exist, didn't you? Commoner ingredients make up more than 70% of the world's food."
Erina now roughly guessed what Liu Ming was saying, her face alternating between green and pale.
"Let me calculate: three meals a day, 10,000 servings per meal, that's 30,000 servings. And you still have to deduct 70% of low-grade ingredients. How many people do you think would starve to death?"
Liu Ming stared intently at Erina, his tone becoming incredibly cold, saying word by word, "You… murderer!"
"I'm talking nonsense! I haven't killed anyone!" Erina's face drastically changed, and she loudly retorted.
After all, she was just a teenage girl. Despite her usual arrogant demeanor, the words "murderer" were too much of a shock for her.
"Isn't this what you want to see? You look down on commoner cuisine, so let's just get rid of it."
"But have you considered, just taking you for example, how many servings of food can you prepare each day? A hundred? Or a thousand? Now, the daily required amount is 30,000 servings!"
"So, what will the rest eat? Our Miss Erina doesn't allow commoner cuisine, oh no. There's no choice, they can only starve to death. Just starve to death then, the sooner they die, the sooner they can reincarnate."
"Am I right, Miss Erina, the God Tongue Murderer?"
Liu Ming's tone was full of sarcasm.
"I told you I'm not a murderer! I haven't killed anyone! I forbid you from calling me that!" Erina was so anxious that tears were about to flow.
She was Erina, the God Tongue, not some God Tongue Murderer Erina.
Given her noble status, who would have dared to speak to her like this before? She simply didn't know how to retort.
'Hisako, where are you? Come and save me quickly.'
Liu Ming didn't care about her. As an excellent writer, verbal sparring was essential. Since she dared to speak ill of his beloved disciple, he could talk her into doubting her entire existence.
"You're right, 'murderer' might be an understatement for you. Because if you were to spread your ideas worldwide, you could potentially wipe out the entire human race."
"Stop talking! I'm not listening! I'm not listening!" Erina squatted down, covering her ears tightly with both hands.
"Why aren't you listening? Isn't this what you want? I'm just telling you the outcome in advance. As long as you persevere, your future achievements will be extraordinary."
"The title of 'Human Terminator' truly belongs to you."
"Wuwuwu~~~" Erina cried. She was truly scared.
Liu Ming's words were all logical, and for a moment, she too misconstrued them. She fell into a fantasy, imagining humanity slowly marching towards extinction because of her decisions, and her heart was filled with panic.
"Why is it like this? I never had such thoughts! Wuwuwu~~~"
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. Humanity won't truly go extinct."
Liu Ming's tone suddenly softened as he comforted her.
"Really?" Erina looked up, her eyes red, watching Liu Ming, hoping he would continue.
"After all, when enough people have died, those chefs will be able to cope. Probably about a million people would still survive, so the title 'Human Terminator' is a bit exaggerated for you."
"After all, there are still a million people, so humanity isn't extinct yet. How about we call you 'Witch' instead? The Witch who destroys humanity."
Hearing this, Erina truly broke down, and the pent-up grievances surged out.
"Waaah~~~"
Seeing the heartbroken and despairing Erina, would Liu Ming comfort her? The answer was no.
Given how she spoke about Tadokoro Megumi, he was already being generous by not punching her twice.
He waved his hand and left with Thor.
Leaving a single girl crying sadly there.
All the way, Thor and Elma looked at Liu Ming strangely.
There was admiration, surprise, and worship.
Thor even nodded in exaggerated agreement, saying, "Xiao Ming, your method is truly brilliant! When I go back to my world, I'll use this method to exterminate humanity too."
"Thor, don't even think about it! I will definitely stop you!"
Elma immediately jumped out, watching Thor warily, afraid that she might actually do it.
Liu Ming was speechless. All those words he had just said were just his nonsense; they were impossible to achieve.
Erina had only been tricked by him into reacting that way; once she came to her senses, she would realize the trick.
He looked at the two who seemed about to fight and gave each a chop to the head.
"Both of you, calm down."
"Oh~"
"Oh~"
