Rin and Mai both felt a warm current rush from their mouths to their entire bodies. The next moment, one clutched her chest and lower abdomen, the other clutching her lower abdomen as they collapsed to the ground.
Rias, on the other hand, though also flushed and clutching her chest, remained standing...
Hmm, her legs started trembling.
"See, I told you! Don't try the stuff I told you not to try. This is the cuisine from Erina's world that I mentioned before. It seems that due to the world's rules, their chefs, their cooking skills, and even the most ordinary ingredients all possess a strange power."
Li Ke ate without changing his expression while addressing the three beautiful girls who were clearly acting strangely.
He was eating this purely to increase his motivation for training.
Yes, Li Ke wasn't immune to this stuff either, but the main reason was... well, while training wasn't tiring, it was incredibly boring.
He didn't find it enjoyable, so Li Ke came up with a way to force himself.
He was, after all, a man of principle, and couldn't possibly ask Rias to do *that* in front of them. So, after eating these things, he felt unbearably hot, but not to the point of recklessness. At this moment, constant exercise to distract himself was the perfect method.
There was no other way; expecting someone who was previously an office worker and had only recently escaped a life-threatening situation to have the willpower to exercise was simply wishful thinking.
Li Ke was using this method to force himself to exercise.
"Hmm… you didn't use some strange stuff? And if that's the case, why did you still eat it?!"
Rin looked at Li Ke, her face flushed, her eyes constantly scanning the food in front of him.
Undoubtedly, although eating it made her feel hot all over and gave her the feeling of having erotic dreams that night, it was really, really delicious!
So delicious that it felt like there were forbidden substances in it!
"Because I need to train, Miss. How can I train without motivation? I'm not like you guys, getting stronger without exercise. So, if I want to become stronger, I need a will to drive me."
Li Ke complained.
Honestly, he felt completely out of place among these characters who had come to this world.
He was just an office worker, an ordinary person by all accounts. He wasn't a sports student from China, a homeless person from the US, a high school student from Japan, or a burly man from India.
He didn't have the miserable life of some kids from Africa, nor the carefree life of a rich and powerful second-generation heir; he was one of the most common species on Earth.
Frankly, the fact that he didn't rely on this ability to slack off was already due to his lower body.
Although he spoke with high principles, he still wanted to occasionally sleep with Tsunade and other characters he had slept with, but this will isn't very strong right now.
After all, real people weren't easy to get.
"I understand, but could you tell me what motivates you to become stronger?"
Rias covered her forehead; Li Ke's behavior left her speechless.
Li Ke almost instinctively wanted to answer, even uttering a single word.
"Bre..."
However, he interrupted himself, decisively changing his answer.
"Love."
"You meant Breast, right?"
Rin blurted out without hesitation.
"No, you misheard."
Li Ke turned his head away, put the last piece of beef in his mouth, and returned to his cubicle to begin his training.
"Seriously, this guy..."
Rin wanted to retort to Li Ke, but she didn't know what to say.
"It's not wrong to be honest about your desires, you know. If Li Ke didn't distrust me, I really would like to make him my peerage."
Rias sighed. She felt that Li Ke still didn't understand her enough, and she didn't want to force him to become her peerage. Otherwise, a peerage who was willing to act on their desires but wasn't blinded by them would make her happy for a long time.
"Ah, I forgot you're a devil. But, do devils in another world also crave other people's souls?"
Rin's lips twitched. Rias was really different from the devils she remembered, even though devils had already disappeared in her era.
"No, that's not it. Although acquiring souls is still one of our businesses, now it's mostly about harvesting emotions. After all, we signed a peace treaty, and devils in our world rarely sign contracts to directly collect souls anymore, unless the person is willing."
It still sounds just as nasty.
Rin thought to herself again.
Meanwhile, Mai, who had been concealing herself and trying to remain inconspicuous, stood with her legs together and pointed calmly at the zombies hidden outside by Rias's barrier.
"These zombies, will they really disappear?"
Rias nodded.
"Yes, although I don't know how they disappeared, last time they definitely vanished instantly."
She had observed them before and could only say that the zombies' departures were too suspicious; they would disappear the moment they were out of her sight.
"I see..."
Mai didn't speak further, but sat down with her legs together, which puzzled Rin, who was standing nearby. However, she was more concerned about something else.
That was Rias's magic.
"Speaking of which, Miss Rias, your magic doesn't seem to have any limitations?"
Rin asked seriously. Their magic was limited by its foundation, meaning it was constructed based on legends or theories, but Rias's magic, which she saw, didn't have these limitations.
However, this was strange. In this world, her magic was unrestricted, and Rias's magic was also unrestricted.
"Oh, you noticed too. Let's exchange ideas then."
Rias chuckled. She was also quite curious about Rin's magic.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
When Li Ke felt his fighting spirit waning, he would take a big bite of food from the Food Wars! world, and instantly, images of him making love with various beautiful girls would appear.
His fighting spirit would surge again, and his worries and boredom would vanish in an instant.
Meanwhile, Mai listened to the two magicians exchanging magical ideas and asked some questions.
Then, as a strange feeling washed over them, everyone couldn't help but look at the barrier Rias had created. The next moment, subtle ripples began to flicker on the barrier.
Clearly, the zombies had increased their attack power.
After sensing the depletion of her magic power, Rias looked directly at Li Ke.
"...The zombies' attack strength has increased, Li Ke, the Blood Moon is getting stronger and stronger."
Li Ke stopped his training and looked at Rias.
"How much stronger?"
"Twice as strong, and its resilience has also increased."
"Tsk."
Li Ke clicked his tongue in displeasure.
"This world really wants us dead. I mean, can't that world consciousness control itself? It's supposed to be choosing a successor, but it's killing the successor."
Li Ke really wanted to complain about this, and Rias didn't hold back either.
"If it could control itself, it wouldn't have gone to the point of choosing a Dimensional Lord. And the zombies getting stronger and stronger seems to be one of the most fundamental rules of this world, something it can't change."
Ries smoothed her hair, somewhat helpless. For now, her barrier was holding up, but if she hadn't found a way to leave after a while, she would really have to rely on Li Ke.
And, incidentally, she also needed to end this very effective training session.
Aside from the monotony, the training environment was incredibly relaxing and without any side effects.
Rias was truly reluctant to leave.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, especially between Rin and Mai. They still hadn't established a foundation of trust, so they simply observed in silence.
Time passed once again in a dull atmosphere.
Finally, when Rias sensed the zombies beginning to disappear, she immediately stood up.
"Someone new is probably coming."
She pushed open the door, and Li Ke and the others followed closely behind. The next moment, Rin and Mai saw how they had arrived in this world.
Then, a white-haired girl wearing a black dress and an eyepatch, and a girl in a very revealing kimono, appeared out of thin air before them.
Undoubtedly, these two were falling.
But Rias, already experienced, immediately extended her palm. The next moment, their falling figures stopped, and under the influence of magic, they slowly descended towards her.
Li Ke recognized the one with white hair, wearing a dress and knee-high boots at a glance.
2B.
One person fighting against Overwatch in the 3D zone, compared to Dead or Alive, even once dethroning Tifa.
The other, however, Li Ke couldn't recognize. She wore a tight-fitting black bodycon secretary outfit, a cowboy hat, shoulder-length black hair, and healthy tan skin.
Honestly, there were just too many possible characters.
The moment they landed, 2B, or rather, Miss Rabbit (in English), whom Li Ke recognized, immediately asked a question.
"Thank you all for your help. Where am I?"
She was just about to pick up a new partner named 9S for a ground mission when she suddenly found herself on a cliff, rescued by some unknown technology.
Everything around her didn't match anything in her database, causing her a strange anxiety.
The other woman was much calmer, seemingly unaffected, even adjusting her hat.
"Hello everyone, I have the same question as this lady. Where am I?"
Li Ke glanced at Rias; he was too lazy to explain, and had no interest in knowing the dark-skinned beauty's identity.
