"Um, Erina."
Li Ke swallowed hard, looking at the swaying, shapely buttocks and long, snow-white legs of the woman walking in front of him.
"it's better if I cook for myself. Your cooking is so delicious, it's making me feel really strange."
"Strange?"
Erina tilted her head, puzzled, looking at Li Ke.
"How so?"
Li Ke thought for a moment, looking at the confused girl, and then decided to tell the truth.
"Well, how should I put it, eating your cooking feels like I've eaten food laced with aphrodisiacs..."
His words barely left his mouth when Erina's expression of confusion deepened.
"An aphrodisiac?"
"That's right. It must be the difference in our worlds. In our world, even the most delicious food has its limits. But in your world, the food you make isn't like that."
Li Ke swallowed hard. The food made with cheap luncheon meat and canned beans had already set him ablaze. If Erina Nakiri were to take it even slightly seriously and unleash even a fraction of her talent, Li Ke truly couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene that would be!
He really wouldn't be able to control himself!
Therefore, this kind of thing must be forbidden!
"Huh?"
Erina Nakiri couldn't help but tilt her head. She really didn't understand what Li Ke was talking about.
Although her family had a special ability—that their clothes would explode when they ate something delicious—because of her God Tongue, she had never triggered this ability.
And most importantly, food like an aphrodisiac?
This was simply unheard of!
While some foods can indeed ignite a person's passion, the effect fades quickly, lasting only a short time at most. It's nothing like the exaggerated claims Li Ke made.
Still exists even now...
That's too much.
"Don't say things like that! And don't you trust my cooking skills? Besides, who would be attracted to an old man like you who gets out of breath after even a little exercise!"
Erina Nakiri looked at Li Ke, snorted, but still chose to believe him.
After all, Li Ke had spoken.
"But since you asked, you can grill the meat yourself. Just so you know, this meat tastes strange to me; it feels like a mixture of countless types of meat. Even I'm not confident I can make it taste good. If you make it bad, you can't waste the food!"
Erina Nakiri seriously wagged her index finger and divided a tenth portions of meat for Li Ke.
"Okay!"
Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Now he didn't have to worry about these things anymore.
The two returned to their base; having fetched water from the lake, water was no longer scarce.
They each began cooking. Although Li Ke wasn't very good at grilling meat, under Erina Nakiri's guidance, he managed to do a decent job, managing to avoid burning it.
Erina Nakiri, on the other hand, became serious.
"Hmm… an ingredient I've never seen before."
Erina Nakiri looked at the strange meat before her, took a deep breath, and reached out to touch it.
The meat was perfect in both texture and feel, and the distribution of fat was also excellent; it could be considered perfect meat.
But what puzzled her was this: this perfect, otherworldly meat tasted like countless different animals.
"Let me see what kind of food I can make."
Despite the harsh conditions, Erina Nakiri couldn't resist her culinary passion. She had specially collected a knife, which she had just washed with boiling water, and then swiftly wielded it in her hands, repeatedly cutting the meat. She then used every seasoning she could find to marinate it.
Her rapid movements made her appear as sharp and confident as a Valkyrie. Li Ke was also drawn to Erina's demeanor, but he had it much easier. The meat quickly cooked, and he immediately climbed over the wall to avoid wolves or other predators drawn by the aroma.
Fortunately, no wolves appeared, but the aroma of the meat continued to entice Li Ke's nose as Erina Nakiri moved.
He couldn't describe the feeling; the only sensation was the 'fragrant aroma of meat.' This aroma constantly tempted him, making him want to eat something more even after already having eaten three large pieces of grilled meat.
"As expected of a gourmet anime, the cooking skills are simply unreasonable."
Li Ke swallowed hard. Seeing Erina Nakiri stir-fry meat with wild vegetables she had picked herself, and also make a soup, and even thoughtfully set aside some for him, Li Ke was deeply moved.
But…
"Why is it that just smelling the aroma is causing problems…"
Li Ke felt his restless heart and couldn't help but wail inwardly.
He had no problem eating the meat he grilled before, but after smelling the aroma of Erina Nakiri's food, he immediately felt a surge of heat throughout his body, bathed in a fantasy called 'meat.' Just the smell of meat made him yearn for anything fleshy!
Whether it was the girl's rounded thighs or her cute, bouncy breasts, they were all incredibly attractive to him, making him desperately want to touch and knead them.
"This effect is on a completely different level compared to before!"
Li Ke tried hard to suppress his desire, but unfortunately, the aroma was dazzling and intoxicating.
Erina Nakiri, standing nearby, felt the same way. Looking at the meat in the pot, she couldn't help but swallow hard—a very rare occurrence, but one that happened nonetheless.
The rudimentary environment made it impossible to showcase her culinary skills; she could only unleash a tiny bit of the meat's power. Even so, she could still sense the meat's unique qualities.
The moment she finished cooking, she felt an overwhelming urge to devour it, but thankfully, she restrained herself.
Seeing that Erina Nakiri had finished cooking, Li Ke dared not linger in the aroma any longer. He jumped off the wall and headed into the RV.
He didn't want to wait until he couldn't resist and start eating!
"Um, I'll go inside first."
"Okay."
Erina Nakiri's attention was completely focused on the two pieces of meat in front of her, so Li Ke sighed helplessly, abandoning his plan to return to his room. He could only climb back onto the wall to observe the illusions surrounding the clearly bewildered Erina.
However, Li Ke covered his mouth and nose.
"What...what will this taste like?"
With slightly panting red lips, Erina Nakiri looked at the plump pieces of meat, her chopsticks trembling slightly as she picked up a piece of meat she had prepared in such a rudimentary environment.
"This is...this is..."
Her heart pounded, but the moment her tongue touched the meat, her eyes widened.
Various animal sounds echoed in her mind, along with the most profound flavors of those animals, an irresistible allure. The scent of spring, the aroma of meat, constantly filled her brain, making her heart pound. Coupled with her deliberate attempt to enhance the meaty flavor, this caused her body to feel intensely hot.
But she couldn't stop; she simply couldn't stop.
Her constantly hungry body, her constantly hungry mind, and that cursed "God Tongue" all made it impossible for Erina Nakiri to stop eating.
Even though the taste of meat burned her like fire, she couldn't stop!
"Meat...no, so hot!!"
Just as Li Ke listened to Erina Nakiri's ravenous eating, a power that Erina had been suppressing suddenly erupted.
"Ahhh!!!"
Erina Nakiri cried out in surprise, her chopsticks falling to the ground. She couldn't help but clutch her chest with her arms, emitting an incredibly beautiful sound!
"What's wrong?"
Li Ke instinctively turned his head, and the next moment, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Erina Nakiri's school uniform exploded inch by inch in an instant. The supposedly sturdy fabric transformed into a shower of butterflies, revealing her snow-white, full body to him!
He saw it clearly: Erina Nakiri's figure-hugging school uniform, stockings, ankle boots, and the clothes that concealed the girl's deepest secrets—all were torn to shreds in the explosive shockwave!
In his daze, a piece of white fabric attacked his face. He instinctively grabbed it, recognizing it as the underwear he had seen before.
Now, this soft piece of fabric, which should have been tied with silk threads around the girl's alluringly soft, rounded buttocks, had its delicate threads torn to shreds by the shockwave, barely holding on in its current state.
Erina Nakiri was now drenched in sweat, her cheeks and neck flushed red.
Beads of sweat, the size of beans, rolled down her delicate neck, sliding down her cleavage, gathering more sweat before reaching her soft, yet shapely, flat stomach.
"This…"
Faced with this astonishing sight, Li Ke's mind went blank. His brain raced, frantically processing everything before him, but he couldn't help but speak.
"Explosive Qi?"
He remembered clearly that this kind of thing usually happened in action-packed fighting anime. Why would someone from a food anime do it?!
"Li, Li Ke, I'm so hot…"
The completely naked Erina Nakiri took deep breaths, trying to calm herself, but she couldn't bear it any longer. She clutched her heart and looked at Li Ke.
"I have water!"
Li Ke jumped down hastily, handing a glass of water to Erina Nakiri, then hurriedly tried to go to the room to get her a sheet.
But at that moment, Erina Nakiri grabbed Li Ke's arm, who was only wearing a shirt.
"No... I don't want water..."
Erina Nakiri felt something was wrong. She felt that everything that had previously bound her had been broken, and she could now do whatever she wanted.
Moreover, she felt incredibly strong!
And indeed, she was.
Li Ke was immediately pulled back by Erina Nakiri, and to his astonishment, she threw herself into his arms, rubbing her blonde hair against his chin, her soft breasts stimulating his body through his shirt.
"Something's wrong with you, Erina! Calm down!"
Without a word, Li Ke pulled out a bottle of water and poured it over Erina's head. But Erina's body temperature didn't drop. She licked the water off her head with a hint of enjoyment, then stared at Li Ke's face for a moment before instinctively hugging his neck.
"I'm so scared... Waaah..."
Tears streamed down Erina's face as she spoke, biting Li Ke's shoulder. Li Ke frantically tried to push her away, but instead grabbed the girl's incredibly full breasts.
The touch itself already sent shivers down Erina's spine, let alone Li Ke's rough hands, which had become calloused over the past few days.
When those rough hands roughly squeezed the place she craved most, Erina's instinct made her look at Li Ke's face.
"Li Ke..."
The girl's mouth still tasted of meat juices, and when her nimble tongue touched Li Ke, it immediately tasted the grilled meat he was eating, along with the taste of his saliva.
The bitter taste brought tears to Nakiri Erina's eyes, but also sense of relief, this feeling of being hurt, was like drinking poison to quench her thirst; she simply couldn't stop.
Meanwhile, after his tongue tasted the sweet flavors on Erina's tongue, and the incredibly delicious meat juices, Li Ke's sanity was on the verge of collapse.
Even people from the Food Wars! world, adapting to that world's cooking, would exhibit behavior akin to taking an aphrodisiac; how much more so for Li Ke, a pure-blooded Earthling?
"Are you willing?"
After the kiss ended, Li Ke grabbed Erina's face and asked.
"Are you willing?"
Erina's eyes were somewhat unfocused. She disliked the bitter taste, yet she found herself unable to live without it. She didn't understand, nor did she comprehend, but following her heart, she nodded, agreeing to the man who had always given her a sense of security.
"Then I won't be polite."
Li Ke picked up Erina and tossed her onto the bed.
After undressing, Li Ke discovered that even without any ambiance, Nakiri Erina was already prepared.
So, he unceremoniously barged in.
But at the same time, his vision distorted, as if something had truly been unlocked. This power within his brain, according to his will, transformed into an image he could accept.
'Unlocked…Affection...system...'
Subsequently, it became a system independent of this world's game system.
But the reason it was a system...
Because Li Ke didn't have time to deal with that right now.
The scorching, narrow, and winding passage drew all his attention.
