Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 29: Favorability Increased at a Strange Point

Shami redirected the topic: "Since you have this ability, you need to learn it even if you work overtime these two days."

"I know, I know. I've been tested on it at the academy. I just need to review it a bit." Lureya waved her hand.

"When the time comes, don't bring the swordsman into the village; it's not a good place for battle. It'd be best to lure him over here. That way, I can fully use my abilities."

Lureya seemed puzzled: "But how do we lure him?"

Shami pointed at her: "You."

"Eh?! Why me?"

"Could it be me? Just let that jerk swordsman submit to your beauty, Lady Lureya!"

It was the first time Shami acknowledged her looks, though it seemed a bit flattering, Lureya's pointed ears turned slightly red.

"Oh, well, if I must..."

...

Since they didn't know when the rebel swordsman would arrive at the village, Shami and Lureya's preparations were urgent.

In the afternoon, Lureya returned to her room, pulled out the Elf Codex, and began reviewing the Great Growth Technique she had learned at the academy.

In the Elf Forest, spiritual qi was abundant, making this Elf Technique practically useless after learning it—unless one was a gardening elf, so the academy only taught the basic Great Growth Technique, which was more than enough for ordinary situations.

"Though I did pass the test, I've forgotten most of it."

Lureya looked at the contents of the codex, feeling as if she was reading it for the first time.

"Well, everyone is probably in the same boat. A good revision should bring it all back."

She began reading.

Five minutes later.

A finished glass of watermelon juice appeared on the table.

Five minutes later.

An empty bag of chips appeared on the table.

Five minutes later.

The Elf Codex closed.

Five minutes later.

The elf lay sprawled out on the bed.

Darn, there's just no way to focus on studying!

Another five minutes later.

"Shami! Knock knock knock!"

Shami opened the door to find the flat-chested blonde standing there holding the Elf Codex in one hand.

"What's up?"

"I was thinking, I'm not sure if you're preparing properly, so I decided to come review here and supervise you a bit."

The flat blonde slipped into Shami's room, not forgetting to make a snarky comment.

"It's so unfair. Why do you get a teleportation gate to come and go from a maiden's room, but I have to walk to find you."

The blonde elf sat down at the table, opened the codex, and clenched a fine brush in her right hand: "Alright, don't disturb me. Lady Lureya needs to study the Elf Technique."

"..."

The whole process took less than half a minute, and the blonde elf had boldly claimed a spot in someone else's house.

Shami had just returned from a 10-kilometer run and was about to do sit-ups, push-ups, and squats to complete his daily physical tasks.

The sudden entry of an elf somewhat disrupted the process.

However, the flat blonde seemed to be seriously studying the Elf Codex, so he couldn't say anything.

He really needed Lureya to master this Elf Technique to ensure his strategy had greater security.

Shami didn't disturb Lureya, instead warming up in the room.

"What are you doing?"

"Preparing to exercise."

Lureya looked a bit stunned, then her expression turned odd.

"It really is exercise!"

"Oh..." (disappointment)

Shami started doing push-ups; because only standard push-ups counted toward his daily task goals, he performed each movement precisely. Coupled with the fact that he had been over-exercising the last few days, after doing about ten push-ups, he couldn't help but pant heavily, with sweat slowly trickling down his face.

Under the same roof, Lureya had no mood to read anymore.

Though she maintained a reading posture, her peripheral vision kept falling on Shami, who was occasionally breathing heavily while exercising, and she found herself pursing her lips involuntarily.

The entire room filled with the sound of his heavy breathing.

So sexy...

[Affection +1]

Shami's body jolted, nearly twisting his hand, and he looked at the flat blonde in shock.

"What are you doing?!"

How could his affection increase at such a time? He hadn't done anything, okay?!

"I'm studying!" Lureya quickly turned her face: "I just occasionally can't avoid looking at you. It's the fault of human eyes for having a nearly 210-degree field of view."

"..."

Could it be that this flat blonde also had a habit of exercising, and seeing him exercise led to a shared interest, thus increasing affection?

Completely puzzled by what went wrong, Shami paused for a moment before continuing his exercise.

After doing push-ups and squats, Shami was already drenched in sweat, with his shirt soaked and sticky against his skin.

He simply took off his shirt, revealing his upper body to continue exercising.

Due to long-term work as a villager, Shami had a good physique, and combined with the physique values he had been gaining recently, his body shape was excellent, with beautiful muscle lines on his upper body like a finely crafted sculpture.

[Affection +1]

[Affection +1]

[Affection +1]

"???"

Shami looked at the flat elf, who was buried in the codex, occasionally using her finger to support her chin as she muttered seriously.

"Oh, oh, oh, so that's how you guide spiritual power... blabla..."

Did something go wrong?

Why did affection suddenly rise again?

But he couldn't waste more time.

Assigning the sudden rise in affection due to erroneous intelligence as something to be investigated later, Shami resumed his workout, finishing the remaining sit-ups.

Yikes, almost got caught peeking!

Secretly burying her head deeper, Lureya sighed in relief.

She sneaked another glance at Shami, involuntarily swallowing as her pointed ears tinted red and her legs subtly closed together, rubbing slightly.

So, such a sexy build...

My goodness, this pretty boy has quite a figure...

Must not underestimate him, Lureya!

About an hour later, Shami completed his daily physical training.

[Physique +0.1]

Heavily sweating, he took an Aikoya Fruit from the Demon King Ring and ate it.

"Oh, so it's for using like this... I always thought it was to replenish energy after a self-reward..."

Lureya closed the Elf Book and looked at Shami.

"I told you before, didn't I? You didn't listen at all?"

Lureya shifted her gaze, trying not to look at Shami's abdomen. Although it was covered with clothing now, she could easily ignore the clothes and recall the excellent muscle lines she had just seen. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Well, it's whatever..." The blonde elf blinked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing..."

"So, have you learned it?"

"Almost..."

In the past period of time, study and peeking time were almost split fifty-fifty, but Lureya still reacquired the lv.1 Great Growth Technique.

Shami glanced over and said, "To be honest, your face is a bit red?"

"Of course. What a crappy house you have, with such poor ventilation. You kept panting beside me, and all the hot air came over here. Look, I'll open the roof." Lureya's small hands glowed.

"Don't go messing with the villagers' houses like that!"
