The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

"kindness?"

Upon seeing what Luo Yu had taken out, Erina's attention shifted from Alice.

Approaching Luo Yu, he gently poked the surface of the meat with his finger, looking at the cross-section of the piece and saying, "Such unique meat. The texture looks a bit like beef, but the feel is completely different, and the taste is different too. What kind of meat is this?"

"Dragon meat."

"Oh, dragon meat, dragon meat?!?!"

Erina realized what was happening, her eyes widened in surprise, and she snatched the piece of meat from Luo Yu's hand, examining it closely.

"Erina!"

Erina's noise startled Alice, who was focused on grilling the meat. The flames in her hands grew larger and larger, and the meat skewers were overcooked and burnt.

"I'll be done baking soon, so don't yell!"

Despite Alice's protest, Erina showed no reaction and continued to stare intently at the piece of meat in her hand.

After observing for a while, Hisako looked at Luo Yu and asked cautiously, "Luo Yu-kun, is this really dragon meat?"

Luo Yu said with certainty, "That's right, it is indeed dragon meat, but not from the highest-ranking ancient dragons of the borderlands. It's just some of the more common flying dragons, which aren't difficult to kill. When I can't find food, I'll go find one, skin it, and eat the meat for a long time. I still have a lot in my stock, and I keep one."

There is no concept of time in Luo Yu's storage space. Once these foods are stored there, they can maintain their state before they were placed there and will always be the freshest.

At this moment, Alice also put down the meat skewers she was holding and ran over to examine the dragon meat in Erina's hand.

"Luo Yujun, Luo Yujun, what does dragon meat taste like?"

Luo Yu said with a smile, "If you want to know, you can use this piece of meat to cook tonight. As for now, Alice, you should continue grilling; it's not done yet."

After saying that, he took the dragon meat and put it away.

Erina was a little disappointed that she hadn't figured it out yet, but considering that she could use it when making dinner later, she wasn't in a hurry.

Taking a deep breath, Erina also picked up a skewer of meat, used her fire-ignition ability, and tried it herself.

Seeing that Erina had started too, Alice and Hisako followed suit and tried their hand at grilling over a fire.

Lani gently tugged at Luo Yu's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, you're even using the word 'prayer' incorrectly."

Luo Yu said with a smile, "Isn't this great? They are chefs after all."

Five minutes later, after wasting some meat skewers, the three of them finally got the hang of how to use a fire to grill and control the intensity of the flames, and completed their first skewer grilling.

Alice was the first to hand the grilled meat to Luo Yu, excitedly saying, "Luo Yu-kun, come and have a taste!"

Luo Yu nodded, took a piece of beef from the skewer and put it in his mouth, nodding in satisfaction: "Mmm, it's delicious. Although the grilling time is short, the flames penetrate very well, and it cooks quickly, keeping the meat tender."

After everyone tasted them together, they found that although the three dishes had slight differences in cooking time, they were all very delicious.

Looking at the flame in her hand, Erina sighed, "The quality of this flame and the feeling of using a stove are really great. But will I really have to use my hands to create the flame in the future?"

Luo Yu explained, "Of course not. Once your hearing abilities improve, you'll be able to use it effortlessly without taking up a hand's space. Then, you can ask Grandpa Nakiri to make you a set of cooking utensils to work with your flames; the results will be even better."

In the future, it will be easier to release [the burden], but for now, there is still a long way to go.

After relaxing with some barbecue, everyone went back to their respective training sessions.

Erina and the other two continued to practice their newly learned fire-making technique, meditating to replenish their magic power when it ran out, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

It wasn't until 4 p.m. that everyone left the round table hall.

With their change of clothes in hand, Erina and her two companions went to the bathroom at Luo Yu's house and took a bath there.

The bathtub is large enough that three people could easily fit in.

After washing themselves, the three of them sat down and let out a satisfied sigh.

Alice pulled the towel over her head and squinted, saying, "After an afternoon of training, a bath feels wonderful!"

Erina nodded in agreement, then opened her eyes, remembering the things she had been thinking about because of her training.

Looking at the leisurely Alice, Erina hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Um, Alice."

"kindness?"

Opening her eyes, Alice looked at Erina sitting opposite her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Erina blushed, lowered her head, and after organizing her thoughts, asked, "Um, what you said this morning about Ms. Haruno and Mr. Luo Yu, is that true?"

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Alice raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Haven't you noticed yet? Haruno-neechan's complexion is completely different today compared to yesterday. It's obvious she did something, isn't it? Not to mention me, Hisako must have noticed too, right?"

Alice looked at Hisako, who hadn't spoken before, and could only nod stiffly.

As a member of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Hisako learned various pharmacological knowledge from a young age, and naturally also had some knowledge of medical books, including the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.

She had also noticed the changes in Yang Nai's complexion over the past two days.

She wasn't the kind of girl who didn't understand anything, so she naturally figured it out immediately.

After receiving confirmation from Hisako, Erina's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Then, Alice, do you still want to continue?"

After Erina asked the question, Hisako also looked at Alice.

Hisako also knew that Alice had come to Chiba on Friday morning after finishing her classes and personally made lunch for Luo Yu.

This was something that had never happened before; it was the first time Hisako had ever seen Alice so proactive.

Alice tapped her chin with her finger and chuckled, "Hehe, I was a little hesitant at first, but now I've completely given up on that idea. In fact, I think I need to be more proactive, otherwise I'll be far down the queue. Not to mention me, Erina, since Grandpa agreed to let you come, it means he doesn't mind if you do the same thing as me."

"Ugh?"

Erina's eyes widened, and she shook her head repeatedly, waving her hands incessantly as she said, "Don't drag me into this! I'm not like you; I would never do such a thing!"

Watching Erina sway and rise from the water, Alice curled her lip, then puffed out her chest defiantly and said, "So, Erina, you really don't understand anything. You can't judge a guy like Luo Yujun by ordinary standards. So what if he has a couple more girlfriends? It's nothing to him! Compared to him, I don't even think I can find a guy my age who's better than him in the future. Erina, do you even think you can?"

Erina couldn't answer for a moment, and after a two-second silence, she still stubbornly said, "Well, even so, I would never do that!"

"Hmph, then you can continue like this. Just wait until you become an unwanted old woman!"

Standing up from the bathtub, Alice put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "I, Alice Nakiri, will never fail to win over any man I set my sights on. Just you wait and see!"

Then I walked out of the bathroom, dried myself off, changed my clothes, and went outside.

As the bathroom door closed, Hisako looked at Erina, whose face was already half submerged in the water.

"Lady Erina, Miss Alice, she..."

Looking at Hisako, Alice slowly raised her head and said, "Hisako, do you think Alice's approach is really right? I admit that Luo Yu-kun is indeed outstanding, but sharing him with other people..."

After thinking for a moment, Hisako replied, "Lady Erina, this is really nothing. Similar things happen a lot in this world. Many men from large families and some wealthy businessmen have more than one partner in private. Some female tycoons even keep several men as lovers. I've heard my mother talk about these things. Compared to that, I think this is nothing for someone like Luo Yujun, isn't it?"

Erina was surprised that even Hisako said that, and could only stare at her blankly.

Finally, Erina asked, "So Hisako, what do you think of Luo Yu-kun?"

Hearing Erina ask this, Hisako's cheeks, which were already flushed from taking a bath, turned even redder.

After fidgeting for a moment, Hisako whispered, "Erina-sama, you can rest assured, I will definitely stay by your side!"

That's what they say, but Erina isn't stupid either. By now, she can see that Hisako definitely has feelings for Luo Yu too.

Seriously, one is my best friend, and the other is my childhood sweetheart and secretary, and they both have feelings for the same guy. What am I going to do...?

Moreover, Erina really doesn't understand love or anything like that; she's basically spent her whole life cooking and in the kitchen.

What does it really feel like to be in love?

Alice came out of the bathroom and went to the living room, skipping and hopping to Luo Yu's side.

"Luo Yujun, what are you looking at?"

Luo Yu showed his phone and said, "Let's see if any special events have happened recently. You know what happened to me and two top-level curse spirits yesterday. I want to check if there are any similar incidents elsewhere."

"All of them? Are there any?"

As she spoke, Alice gently leaned against Luo Yu's shoulder, looking at the forum content on his phone.

"Sigh... So many posts about cursed spirits and evil spirits, what kind of forum is this?"

While asking about the scent of Alice's shower gel, Luo Yu said, "It's an app used in the extraordinary world. You can accept various commissions and tasks on it, as well as post and communicate on the forum. It's quite useful."

Alice nodded, not particularly bothered by the affairs of the extraordinary world. She followed Luo Yu to cultivate mainly so that she could apply her skills to cooking.

After reading it, Alice looked at Luo Yu and asked, "Luo Yu-kun, what kind of dishes would you like for dinner? You can order!"

Luo Yu smiled and said, "I don't have the molecular gastronomy equipment you use here. Do you also accept orders?"

Alice confidently replied, "Sure, as I said, I've always been studying traditional cuisine, and I won't be confined to molecular gastronomy!"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu said, "Well, I'm craving something spicy today, so how about we make a dish with dragon meat?"

"Sure, Luo Yujun, hurry up and bring out the dragon meat. I need to test the texture of the meat first before I can decide how to cook it to make it taste the best!"

After taking out a large piece of dragon meat and handing it to Alice, she took it and ran to the kitchen to start studying it.

Ten minutes later, Erina and Hisako also came out.

After glancing at Luo Yu sitting on the sofa, Erina blushed and ran to the kitchen.

Although Hisako was a little shy, she still came over and, like Alice, asked Luo Yu what he wanted to eat.

Luo Yu herself isn't a picky eater, but she still asked Hisako to prepare a dish to help Haruno recover, as Haruno was quite tired last night.

After the three of them went to the kitchen, Luo Yu took out a piece of dragon meat and some fruits from the border region and handed them to Erina and the others.

After a while, Yukino and Haruno, who were taking a bath in the bathroom upstairs, also came down.

Seeing that Erina and the others had started cooking the dragon meat, the two of them curiously went over and watched from the side.

Yukino also didn't forget her desire to improve her cooking skills, and would occasionally ask Erina and the others for advice.

With nothing to do downstairs, Luo Yu went back to the Round Table Hall to continue his experiments.

As the research progressed, Luo Yu's various ideas about the transformation of Lani's body gradually became more complete, and he felt that the day when Lani would be fully recovered was not far away.

At six o'clock, Erina and the other two spent a little more time but finally finished preparing dinner.

Dishes made with dragon meat emitted a rich aroma, attracting everyone's attention and prompting Luo Yu and his companions to sit down.

Chapter 135 Hayasaka Ai's Cry for Help (1/2)

Luo Yu had eaten quite a bit of dragon meat when he was in the border region, but this was the first time he had ever tasted anything as delicious as the one made by Erina and the others.

After all, in border areas, there aren't many seasonings available to make food taste good.

I haven't seen any chefs or anything like that.

Although it was their first attempt, Erina and the other two made the dragon meat incredibly delicious, so much so that Luo Yu and the others couldn't stop eating it.

Halfway through their meal, everyone except Luo Yu and Lani gradually stopped, feeling the intense heat and rising magical power emanating from their bodies.

"This is?"

Putting down his chopsticks, Luo Yu said with a smile, "After all, it's a dragon. It contains a lot of energy. Eating it will naturally stimulate your own magic power and also promote the strengthening of your bodies. However, there is a limit to the strengthening effect of dragon meat. If you eat a meal like this once a day, you'll probably have to eat it for a month to reach the limit."

As for Luo Yu himself, now he's only eating this dragon meat for the taste; it has long lost its other effects.

"It has this effect?!"

Alice was overjoyed and looked at Luo Yu, saying, "Luo Yu-jun, do you still have any dragon meat here?"

Luo Yu nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, there's definitely enough for you to eat until you're sick of it."

After resting for a while after dinner, Yukino and the others felt their magical power increase and their bodies were full of energy.

Even Erina and her two companions, who had just learned how to start a fire that afternoon, felt that they had even more ease and freedom in controlling the flames.

Seeing Alice use Fire again, Luo Yu smiled and said, "That's for sure, after all, these dragons can breathe dragon fire. Once you've learned to a certain level, I can also teach you a few Dragon Offering Prayers."

In the border region, to learn dragon prayers such as Dragonfire, one must use a dragon's heart and then go to the Dragon Offering Church to learn them.

However, Luo Yu knows all of these dragon prayers now. Although there are no longer any specially made dragon hearts, he still has quite a few ordinary ones.

With the dragon prayer I have learned, and these hearts, I should be able to teach others the dragon prayer as well.

However, compared to the Dragon Offering Prayer, Erina and the others still need to learn the fire prayers of those fire cultivators and fire giants first.

Upon hearing that they could learn the so-called Dragon Offering Prayer, the three girls were full of anticipation.

At 7:30, Totsuki's car arrived, and it was time for Erina and the other two to go back.

After watching the car leave, Luo Yu stretched and looked at Yukino beside him, saying, "How about it, want to go out and practice tonight?"

Yukino shook her head: "No, I'll read a book tonight and then get some rest. I have class tomorrow, and I don't want to stay up too late."
