"As expected, I underestimated you."
Senzaemon Nakiri, whose head had been shot, smelled the lingering scent of brains in the air. He felt that after Li Ke's visit, he would never be able to eat anything like brains again.
He couldn't help it; thinking about his own brain was unbearable.
Although Li Ke's miraculous methods had healed him, the feeling of having his brain pierced was simply...
How to put it... to be able to save him from something like that was truly... indescribable.
"Hmm, these are actually some magical items, but I don't have many left."
Li Ke looked at the hundred-odd medical kits remaining in his inventory and couldn't help but shake his head.
If there was anything he was most reluctant to part with in the Seven Days to Die world, it was his superhuman stamina and this thing.
This thing was truly outrageous; as long as the body was 'alive,' it could be used, and it would restore him to his best condition.
This was also the only thing he needed from the Seven Days to Die world.
Unfortunately, it was a dimension on the verge of destruction, and he had no intention of becoming its ruler.
However, Li Ke also knew that this thing probably had an upper limit.
After all, it was a product of a world on the verge of destruction; although absurd, it was likely only very useful for mortals.
After all, it only restored health, not a percentage-based recovery.
For example, Rias's health points couldn't possibly be the same as Li Ke's.
"This is really... well, let's not waste it anymore."
Hearing Li Ke's words, Senzaemon Nakiri's eye twitched. He was now beginning to suspect that Li Ke was doing this on purpose, giving him a warning.
But seeing Li Ke's embarrassed expression, he abandoned that guess. However, as someone who had been shot in the head, he decided to show his anger.
He really had almost been killed!
Although his body felt much better after being resurrected, and many old injuries had inexplicably healed.
But he really was killed once!
He saw his father and grandmother!
He really reached the Sanzu River!!
How could he not be angry?!
So, he straightened his face and stood up expressionlessly.
"I need to calm down, and you all probably have a lot to discuss, so let's leave it at that."
The old man walked out quite quickly, after all, he truly felt he had reason to be angry, and he was genuinely angry.
But for Erina, Alice, and even Li Ke, it was a relief.
After Senzaemon Nakiri had walked away, Alice was the first to raise her hand.
"I mean, while I'm partly to blame, doesn't your gun have a safety...? Isn't this too dangerous?"
She looked at Li Ke with a serious expression. This kind of accidental discharge was completely different from the accidental discharges of young people; it could really kill someone!
"Because it's ready to use right out of the box, I really haven't paid attention to these things."
Li Ke thought for a moment. Kiri really hadn't taught him this.
As for him... why did he have such common sense?
Besides, he basically relied on his inventory to use the gun; otherwise, how could he be so accurate?
"I'm really exasperated with you. Even though you're an adult, you seem quite unreliable."
Alice sighed, then looked at Erina, who had remained silent.
"But even after I said all this to you, darling, you didn't react. Aren't you afraid he'll run away? I'm really interested in him."
She wasn't lying; she genuinely was interested in Li Ke, though not in a romantic way for the time being. She found him mysterious and wanted to know about things completely different from this world.
That's about the level of concern she felt.
"Do as you please."
Erina crossed her arms. She was naturally unaware of Li Ke's subsequent actions, so in her mind, he was always that kind, albeit cowardly, older man.
Li Ke felt a little embarrassed. If she weren't here, he'd probably already be thinking about whether he could get Alice into bed.
After all, white hair, red eyes, and such a great body! He really liked her!
"Ha!"
Alice sighed speechlessly, then stood up.
"But since Grandpa said you two still have things to discuss, I won't disturb you any longer. Besides, Erina, you've been holding back for quite a while, haven't you?"
She wore a teasing expression and left under Erina's gaze. The empty tea room suddenly became a space for just the two of them, and the atmosphere became ambiguous.
"Don't worry too much. Grandpa is very easy-going. Since nothing happened, he won't care for long, but…"
Erina's face flushed because Li Ke had moved closer.
Li Ke pulled Erina into his arms. As expected of a young girl's body, even though she had already experienced intimacy, she still had that fresh fragrance. Moreover, as Li Ke's hand gradually moved upwards, approaching his favourite spot, he definitely felt something different.
"Erina, has it grown a bit?"
Gently supporting her ample breasts, Li Ke asked.
"Hmm... people might come here."
Erina gently nudged Li Ke with her elbow, but didn't object.
"Yeah, I've grown a little. After all, my body still has room to grow, and..."
Thinking of the feeling of Li Ke sucking on her, Erina's face turned even redder, and her voice became very low. If Li Ke hadn't already pulled her into his arms, he definitely wouldn't have heard what she said next.
"And you helped too."
Erina was a very proud person, but at this moment, her pride made her current shyness seem incredibly beautiful.
This was the kind of tsundere that Li Ke liked.
Tsundere, tsundere—the cuteness was the most important thing, and the pride absolutely couldn't be excessive, otherwise, she'd just be a crazy woman.
Erina's current state was just right.
Haughty when she needed to be, and soft and cute when she needed to be—easy to bully.
Li Ke slipped his hand under the hem of Erina's elegant school uniform, caressing her smooth skin. As the silky touch traveled through his hand, Erina's increasingly rapid heartbeat was reflected in his.
When he grasped her fullness, the pounding of her heart made him wonder if he was holding Erina's heart itself.
"Then I'll try harder."
Li Ke's hand continued to knead, and because of his experience, this time Erina felt not just pain, but a profound sense of pleasure.
Speaking of which, Tsunade had taught him this. After all, for girls, most of that beautiful area wasn't what brought them comfort; only a small part could provide pleasure.
However, regardless of their size, all girls enjoy the feeling of that area being lifted, especially those with large breasts. A gentle lift and relaxation of the muscles responsible for that area can quickly relax their mind and body, bringing a different kind of comfort. While not an intense stimulation, it was a comfortable feeling that effectively improved her mood and prepared her for what was to come.
"Hmm, too big isn't good either... I really don't know why you guys like this..."
Feeling the comfort, Erina let out a soft whimper. Although she was a little bothered that Li Ke's technique had become so advanced in such a short time, she still really, really enjoyed the feeling of lying in the arms of someone she liked and being made comfortable by them.
"Because it's beautiful, right? And no matter who it is, except for babies who start drinking formula from birth, humanity's pursuit of this has been going on for countless years. And Erina's are so big and beautiful, she should be able to raise a healthy baby."
Li Ke said as he kneaded her. Although he couldn't derive any real pleasure from it, just the gentle caress and kneading was enough to make him feel comfortable and relaxed.
This was the greatest comfort a man could experience in this way.
As for the so-called "setting up cannons," Li Ke had experienced it firsthand, though the mental stimulation was more intense. If he wanted real pleasure, he'd prefer the places where such things were supposed to be done.
Of course, Lux's rear was also very wonderful, but Li Ke didn't particularly like that method.
Feeling her body becoming increasingly strange, Erina had to stand up from Li Ke's embrace and then took his hand.
Her face held a mixture of anticipation and shyness; after all, she was still a young girl.
Although it was legal, shyness was normal.
"Um…not here, let's go to my room."
Erina pulled Li Ke up and led him towards her room.
As they passed Nakiri Senzaemon, who was drinking tea in the hall, Li Ke remembered the book he had acquired earlier.
So, as Erina led him into her room, Li Ke spoke.
"Speaking of which, Erina, I've gained a new ability."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"It's about consuming stamina to make anything taste delicious. Well, how should I put it? So you don't need to worry about me not graduating."
Li Ke decided to cheat after all.
But Erina, who had been all lovey-dovey just moments before, suddenly became serious.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Never mind, I'll tell you later."
"You don't believe me?"
"It's just too unbelievable."
Erina shook her head. Magic, time travel—she could accept any of that, but making food taste delicious out of thin air…
As a chef, she couldn't accept it.
So Li Ke thought for a moment, used the skill book, and decided to try it out himself first.
He first gently plucked some dewdrops from Erina's garden and placed them directly into a glass of water. Then, enduring the dizziness after learning the skill book, he stirred the water with his finger and activated his ability.
The instant he drank the water, he saw countless Erina figures, dressed in light gauze, soaking in a hot spring.
"..."
The effect of this thing was indeed as outrageous as the worlds itself!
Already feeling excited, Li Ke felt that the flames within him could no longer be called flames, but rather an erupting volcano!
"What's wrong?"
Erina, blushing, looked at Li Ke, and then—
She was forced to drink a mouthful by Li Ke, and in that instant, she realized something.
What Li Ke said was true.
He really did possess this terrifying ability!
And so, Erina's volcano erupted.
