You Dog of a Man, You Just Want to Beat Me Up!
Upon hearing this, Asuna was immediately shocked. What did she mean by bringing back 103,000 magic books? And why were there even odd numbers? Asuna couldn't help but ask, "Did you rob someone?"
She couldn't figure out how Li Yu got his hands on this thing. Could it be that Li Yu had committed arson, murder, and robbery in that world? After all, based on her understanding of her boyfriend, if he were some heinous villain over there, he definitely would have done that.
In Li Yu's words, is robbing these guys even considered robbing? He was just helping others get their things back, then taking them home to keep for himself, and returning them to those friends he'd never met before when he had the chance.
She knows her boyfriend too well, so now Asuna suspects that Li Yu might have been stolen back.
"She's a little girl. Because of her special constitution, she has the ability to have absolute Remembrance, and 103,000 magic books are recorded in her mind." Li Yu slowly explained Index's situation.
However, when Li Yu heard Li Asuna say it was a little one, his expression became even stranger. Did he really like picking up little girls? How many was this now?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Yu felt Asuna's gaze slowly forming a question mark, which was quite puzzling. What was Asuna looking at?
Asuna's lips curled into a slight smile. She giggled and couldn't help but say, "Li Yu, do you really like lolis? You always bring back a little one every time you go out. Too bad, I'm not a loli~!!"
As she said this, Asuna's tone was filled with regret. If only she were a loli, Li Yu would definitely like her even more, right?
Hearing Asuna's outrageous words, Li Yu was stunned. What did she mean by saying he liked lolis? This was slander!
However... Asuna wants to become a loli? It's not impossible? Thinking of this, Li Yu looked at Asuna with a strange expression and said, "It's actually simple for you to become a loli. I just need to reverse the time in your life."
Having mastered time and space, it would be quite simple for Li Yu to do this; in any case, Li Yu could do it with ease.
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Asuna's eyes darted around, and finally she said in a voice barely above a whisper, "If you're interested... you can try it tonight."
What could she do? Her boyfriend had such strange ideas; she could only go along with them. Wasn't that her responsibility as a girlfriend?
Seeing Asuna's expression, Li Yu chuckled, feeling quite expectant. The two exchanged a few quiet words before Li Yu set off to find Bell.
Bell is currently helping to prepare the ingredients. He's helping Erina and the others cook. Li Yu previously called Erina a little cook, and now she really has become one.
They were all quite happy to help, since this other world had many unique ingredients that broadened their horizons, so they were happy to help with the cooking.
They prepare three meals a day with different dishes, and it's only thanks to their recent mastery of True Magic and some techniques that their bodies really can't keep up.
"Bell, come here for a second!" Li Yu glanced at Erina and the others who were busy, but he didn't say anything. These guys were already used to the situation here.
Moreover, everyone has protected them quite well, seemingly keeping them out of the battlefield. After all, these are the most important chefs; how could they be allowed to risk their lives?
"Brother Li Yu!" Hearing Li Yu's call, Bell was a little confused, but he still hurriedly put down his work and ran over.
Looking at Bell, Li Yu sensed the kid's strength and realized he had already reached Iv5. That was incredibly fast. Thinking of this, Li Yu immediately told Hestia what they had agreed on before.
"Bell, once this is over, you should prepare to return to your original world. We need you to go back and rebuild the Hestia Familia." Li Yu briefly explained the situation.
Bell was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Yu's words. He pointed to himself and asked in disbelief, "Me? Me?"
Can I really do it?
This made him somewhat unsure of himself, after all, this was essentially rebuilding a Familia, which would be very complicated, wouldn't it?
"Of course you can. If you couldn't, we wouldn't have decided to let you go back. Besides, Hestia will be with you. The passages on both sides are now connected, so you can come back anytime you want." Li Yu briefly explained the situation.
This task absolutely requires Bell; we can't let Haruhime do it, can we? But Haruhime might be even less capable, so this task must be done by Bell, only Bell can accomplish it.
After listening to Li Yu's words, Bell thought for a moment, then his gaze hardened and he said, "Okay, Brother Li Yu, I'll go there as soon as I get back!"
He didn't think about it any further. Li Yu had already said so, and the other party trusted him so much, so what was there for him to hesitate about? He could just go back!
Li Yu's words boosted his confidence considerably, not to mention the help of Lady Hestia. He was certain he could manage to build the Hestia Familia.
"That's more like it! Be confident. If you have any problems, just come to us anytime!" Li Yu was extremely satisfied with the other party's attitude.
It seems that his studies over this period of time have not been in vain; he has made considerable progress. This has made Li Yu look forward to it, wondering what kind of surprise Bell will bring him.
After chatting for a while, Bell went back to work. He still had a lot to do; the side dishes weren't finished yet, and he didn't have time to play.
The head chefs are Erina, Alice, and Hisako Arato, while Ram, Ram, and others assist them Rem. Judging from their seamless teamwork, they've probably been working together for some time.
Li Yu observed for a while without disturbing them. He figured he could deal with any problems later. He then turned and went to check the other people's homework.
After so much training, everyone must have improved quite a bit, right? Li Yu hasn't checked on everyone's level for a while, so now that he has time, he can take a look at how they're doing.
"Yukino, wanna spar?" Li Yu ran straight up to Yukino Yukinoshita and extended an invitation, longing for the day he could beat Yukino up!!
Suddenly invited by Li Yu, Yukino Yukinoshita was immediately filled with question marks. She turned to look at Li Yu expressionlessly and retorted, "What did I do to you? If you want to beat me up, just say so!"
Was this supposed to be a friendly sparring match with Li Yu? It was clearly a one-sided beating. She knew perfectly well that this bastard wanted to hit her, so she resolutely refused!
"I just wanted to test your abilities. After all, I've been giving you advice for so long, don't you want to know if you've improved?" Li Yu explained seriously.
However, Yukino simply didn't believe it. Didn't she know what this guy was thinking? He definitely wanted to beat her up!
"I don't need your verification. I feel great right now, and I know I'm constantly improving!" With that, Yukino turned and left, a slight smile playing on her lips as she went.
Want to beat her up? She absolutely wouldn't give him the chance. Besides, Li Yu's strength was already on a completely different level from hers; she couldn't defeat him even if she tried her best. Why would she bother making a fool of herself in this situation?
So, absolutely not, absolutely not! She just won't let Li Yu beat her up, no matter what, she won't fall for it!
Unless her strength reaches the tenth level, she might consider fighting Li Yu, but even then, she wouldn't have much confidence.
Li Yu watched Yukino leave with a sense of helplessness. It was truly a pity. Li Yu's gaze then turned to Kato Megumi was practically invisible.
"Damn it!" When Kato Megumi saw Li Yu looking at her, she immediately crossed her arms, not giving Li Yu a chance to speak. She didn't want to do what Yukino didn't want to do.
If she keeps getting beaten up, she'll lose all her goodwill, and that won't do. Kato Megumi had thought about her conversation with Asuna and was still somewhat tempted.
So she refused to accept domestic violence; she decided to let it go and didn't want to be traumatized by Li Yu.
"Damn it!!" Hearing Kato Megumi refuse without hesitation, Li Yu felt a little helpless. Why did they all chicken out? Show some of the courage they had when they first met me!!
Especially Yukino, has she completely given up? Doesn't she even want to defeat herself anymore? That girl is really too decadent. Shaking his head, Li Yu didn't think about it anymore.
After staying in the camp for a while, it was time to eat. The group of people gathered together, got their food, and then found a place to sit down and start eating.
Erina and the others were quite skilled cooks, and everyone ate to their heart's content. After everyone had finished eating and cleaned up, Li Yu and the others gathered together for a chat.
"Class monitor, class monitor, can you tell me what it's like to break through after reaching the Ninth Tier? Let me be mentally prepared!" Xia Yu was interested in these things. Although she hadn't reached the required level yet, that didn't stop them from finding out more.
Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Li Yu. This was indeed very intriguing; if they could know beforehand, they could prepare accordingly, wouldn't they?
Seeing this, Li Yu thought for a moment and then said to everyone, "If you want to break through to the tenth rank, the only preparation you can make now is to work hard on your attributes!"
Li Yu then explained the matter of condensing one's own rules. He said that the only way for these people to break through was to work relentlessly in this direction, otherwise they would have to sign Contract with Pandora.
"Rules, are they the same as condensing Godhead?" Yukino asked thoughtfully. That did seem quite plausible.
Li Yu nodded, then smiled and said, "What you're saying doesn't seem to make a problem; it really is similar to condensing Godhead."
Isn't this also the path to godhood? God are beings who also control the rules, much like Godhead. There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying that.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood. With this explanation, they understood everything. No wonder Li Yu told them to work hard on their own attributes, because these were the attributes they were most familiar with, and also the ones with the best chance of success!
