Linton got up quite early today, of course not to watch Asuna's assessment, but mainly to have breakfast and see Tadokoro's interesting reaction.
However, as soon as Linton arrived at the venue, the first person he met was not Tadokoro. Instead, he was blocked by a white-haired girl.
The other party stared at Linton with an expression of "I'm not easy to mess with." Behind the other party stood a rather sturdy boy who also looked at Linton with a wary expression, as if he was looking for trouble.
Of course, although the other party tried his best to show strength, from Linton's perspective, both of them exuded the aura of weakness.
"You are the man behind Asuna, right?" The first words of the white-haired girl here were strange enough.
Judging from what she said, the person this guy is targeting is Asuna? And he thinks he is Asuna's backer?
It's quite strange. After all, Asuna is considered an absolute "weak" in this world. In other words, she is not even considered a weakling. She is already a child who spends money, so she can still be targeted by others.
Of course, Linton had some impressions of this white-haired girl. She was probably a plot character, but his impression was rather vague. She was probably just an ordinary supporting character.
"Who is this? Your strong rival?" Linton turned to look at Asuna who happened to be walking by. Asuna naturally came here first to draw lots and prepare for the assessment. After all, she was far away.
Yu is a student, and Linton is a resident here, so naturally he can just come over for lunch.
"She is Alice Nakiri, the daughter of the current head of the Nakiri family." Asuna introduced.
"Oh, I remembered." Linton nodded, "Nakiri Erina's sister, right."
"No, she is Nakiri Erina's cousin." Asuna said.
"Uh... are they actually cousins? I thought they were sisters..." Linton looked at the white hair here, "half-mother..."
"Nakiri Erina's mother is called Nakiri Managi, and she is the biological sister of Nakiri Alice's father. Her mother got a son-in-law and gave birth to Nakiri Erina." Asuna said simply.
explained.
"Uh... So this Nakiri Alice is the legitimate heir to the Nakiri family?" Linton asked.
"That's not true, because the Nakiri family does not have strict rules requiring male inheritance, and there is no order of succession such as the eldest son. It is basically a merit-based admission. And because of her extremely strong talent, Nakiri Erina basically
She has been selected as the next head of the family," Asuna said.
"I see, so you are a poor guy who can't compete with the head of the family, right?" Linton looked at the white hair in front of him and said.
"You are the poor thing. That guy was able to show off his power because I was not in the country before. Now that I am back, Erina has to step aside." Alice Nakiri here has been listening to Linton and Ya.
During Sina's conversation, when she heard Linton calling her a pathetic person, he also yelled quite dissatisfied.
"Oh, so she came to take back the position of heir to the head of the family." Linton nodded, then looked at Asuna next to him, "Did she succeed?"
"It didn't work." Asuna said.
"Oh, indeed, I know you can't succeed just by looking at you like this." Linton nodded and said, "Is she the early mini-boss type?"
"No, she is generally a tsundere-free young lady." Asuna said.
"You are the tsundere!" Alice Nakiri yelled directly, "Damn Asuna, I remember you, just wait for me, I will make you cry in the next assessment."
After saying this, Alice Nakiri turned around and left. Of course, she looked like she wanted to leave a perfect back, but as soon as she turned around, she failed because she actually bumped into the boy who looked like a bodyguard behind her.
chest.
I don’t know whether it was because of the pain or because of embarrassment. Alice Nakiri covered her nose and looked like she was about to cry. She shouted directly at the boy: "Damn it, who made you stand there stupidly?"
There!”
"It was you who asked me to stand here to increase the intimidation. You said that standing diagonally behind you would look scary." The boy here said matter-of-factly.
"I..." Obviously these words seemed to awaken Nakiri Alice's memory, "I didn't let you stand all the time!"
"Well, she is indeed a tsundere." Linton nodded.
"You are the arrogant one. Damn it, I will remember you too!" Alice Nakiri turned around and yelled again.
After saying that, Alice Nakiri turned around and wanted to leave again. Of course, she pushed the boy away this time, but this time she was stopped by Linton.
"Girl, you said you are here to take back the position of the head of the family. But it seems that your level is a little behind. Do you want to improve?" Linton asked with a smile.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Alice Nakiri turned around and asked.
Just as Linton was about to start cheating, Asuna next to him said: "This should be of no use. In fact, this guy just said that he wants to seize the position of the head of the family. He actually has no determination to seize it in his heart.
idea."
"Good guy, is it really free?" Linton held up his forehead.
"Nonsense, I came back just to seize the position of the head of the family, okay? I won't let that Erina guy keep being arrogant." Nakiri Alice said unconvinced.
"By the way, why is she targeting you?" Linton said to Asuna next to him.
"Probably because...there have been some business conflicts with Yuanyue International recently." Asuna thought for a while and said, "His father is the chairman of Yuanyue International, and he is currently being surrounded by my group."
"Did all the good guys use the word "encirclement and suppression" directly?" Linton said speechlessly.
"The main reason is that people in this world are probably used to solving problems around cooking, so some business abilities are really weak." Asuna said, "The chairman of Totsuki International, Nakiri Munuei, is known as a business wizard.
, however, her actual ability can only be said to be... average. However, her mother, Leonora Nakiri, is somewhat talented in business, and she is the one currently resisting my business methods."
"You are the one who engages in business wars in the food world, okay?" Linton raised his forehead, "In short, this girl looks tough but actually has no ambition at all. She is just a fool, isn't she?"
"That's right." Asuna nodded.
"Okay, it doesn't look like it's going to be needed." Linton spread his hands, "You can go, you're useless."
"You, you, you..." Alice Nakiri was so angry that she exploded on the spot.
"What about the boy behind?" Linton suddenly pointed at the boy who looked like a bodyguard behind Alice Nakiri and asked, "Looks like he looks like a passerby."
