Anime Crossover: Limits Removed, I Don't Eat Beef!

"I'm...I'm sorry, I was wrong, it hurts, please don't hit me anymore 々～ ."

The cat-eared girl clutched her head, tears welling in her eyes, and begged Seele for help.

"Sigh... why am I worried about this idiot?"

Seele shook her head, her nervousness dissipating considerably in the noisy and boisterous atmosphere.

Given Li Chaofei's abilities, nothing bad will happen.

"Silly girls, stop playing around and get to work!"

Hearing the girls' laughter, Aunt Mia's shouts came from deep within the kitchen.

And those silly girls scattered like fish and birds, all returning to their posts.

Since Seele was off today, she continued to sit at the front desk.

"What are you daydreaming about? Don't you know we have guests?"

"Eh?"

Looking up and straight ahead, Seele's face lit up with surprise.

"You...why are you here?"

Because the figure that hadn't been seen for a long time reappeared.

This made the girl a little excited, and she started to speak incoherently.

Perhaps even she herself didn't expect that Li Chaofei held a higher place in her heart than she had imagined.

"Is this how you treat friends you haven't seen in a long time?"

Li Chaofei asked.

"Oh...yeah...sorry."

After her initial panic, Seele quickly regained her composure.

At that moment, the girl also noticed that Li Chaofei was standing behind her.

The little girl, head bowed, remained motionless.

Judging from her bangs and the faintly visible side profile...

She should be a pretty good-looking woman; apart from her clothes looking a bit old, her figure is also quite good.

For a moment, Seele's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Many ideas flashed through the girl's mind.

Does he have a preference for races other than humans, and a particular fondness for petite women?

Megumin from the Hestia Familia, and even the goddess Hestia herself, are both beautiful girls with loli-like figures.

With that thought in mind, Seele's gaze finally changed.

Could it be that Li Chaofei is really a lolicon?

"Xi'er?" Li Chaofei didn't know why she suddenly froze.

If he knew what a young girl was thinking, he would definitely give her a good whack on the head.

"N-nothing, may I ask who that girl is?"

Xier asked, and sure enough, she was still very concerned about the relationship between Li Chaofei and the girl.

"I met him on the way; he was just a supporter I had worked with before."

"I can rest assured that."

Seele thought to herself, and then the girl smiled again.

...

Ten minutes later.

It's still that spot near the corner.

However, the person sitting there was a different girl.

Li Chaofei looked at Lili with a half-smile, without saying a word, and just slowly drank the hot tea in his cup.

Seele would occasionally cast curious glances at them.

Finally, Lily, sitting across from him, could no longer bear the atmosphere.

He shouted out in great dissatisfaction.

"What exactly do you want me to say?!"

Li Chaofei and Lili did not try to conceal their conversation.

Since Lily herself doesn't care, then Li Chaofei has even less reason to care.

He knew perfectly well why Lily would abandon her good job and instead steal adventurers' items.

Even before he met her, Lily had already tricked quite a few adventurers.

However, some things are better left unsaid by the parties involved.

Then, under Li Chaofei's 'coercive' gaze, Lily had no choice but to tell the truth.

It turns out that the reason this little girl did all this was to obtain a large amount of money.

It was just to pay their ransom.

Furthermore, the ransom was enormous; a mere few million Wallis was simply insufficient to repay it.

"The Soma Familia, Lord Demon King, you must have heard of them, right?"

"What kind of weird name is that?" Li Chaofei frowned when he heard Lily address him.

"Isn't that right? Your nickname has spread far and wide in Orario; that's what people outside call you."

Lily nodded nervously, feeling immense pressure from Li Chaofei, even more so than from the bullies who oppressed her.

"Never mind. It's up to you."

Li Chaofei waved his hand, signaling Lily to continue.

After a ten-minute explanation, he finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Orario, as the world's largest labyrinth city, also boasts the largest number of Familias.

A large number of gods gathered together, but many of them had a playful attitude towards human life.

Therefore, they did not manage the clans they established properly.

Although Loki has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is quite responsible towards his clan members.

In contrast, the Soma Familia, to which Lily belongs, worships Soma, the god of wine.

However, long ago, the god Soma stopped paying attention to and managing the affairs of his kin.

He handed over all authority to his subordinates, including their commanders.

If the clan leader were a more normal adventurer, Lily wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

However, things didn't go as planned, as the person now in charge of the Soma Familia is a very selfish and self-serving individual.

Although he only has the strength of Lv.2, he is extremely greedy.

In order to obtain more money and treasures.

He auctioned off the already limited amount of sake in the Soma clan internally through a bidding process.

The person who bids the most gets a cup.

"Wow, people would actually agree to this?" Li Chaofei looked surprised. He had to pay several times the value of the divine wine to get a small cup.

Only someone with a screw loose would do something like that.

"Of course, Lily's companions were like madmen, becoming prisoners of the divine wine, and all they did every day was keep making money."

"And then, for that tiny chance, they ended up becoming slaves to money."

Lily lowered her head and described a fact that was horrifying to her.

She was unfortunate from birth.

Since his parents were also members of the Soma clan, they naturally couldn't resist the temptation of the divine wine.

Then, in pursuit of more money, Lily's parents entered the dungeon.

They even entered floors that were beyond their reach.

In the end, Lily never saw her parents again.

From then on, young Lily was forced to work hard to earn money to make a living.

However, because she received the favor for a very short time, and because she rarely saw Soma, the god, she was unable to do so.

Therefore, even updating one's status is a very difficult wish.

Over time, in order to avoid starving to death...

Lily could only survive as a supporter whom everyone despised and looked down upon.

Because of her weakness, Lily is often ostracized by others in her familia.

Furthermore, after paying the protection fee, she sometimes didn't even have a single Valis left.

(By Li Zhao) Gradually, after mastering the art of stealing, the girl also learned to deceive.

I've become the kind of person I hate.

At the same time, he also harbors hatred towards all adventurers.

I'm done talking!

Lily suddenly shouted loudly, her face covered in glistening tears.

"So if you want to laugh at me, go ahead, I'm used to it anyway!"

The girls' commotion drew everyone's attention in the tavern.

The whispers of the shop assistants reached Li Chaofei's ears.

Hearing those comments like, "As expected of the Demon King," and "He even bullies children," he felt a surge of emotion.

Li Chaofei couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

"Please don't make fun of me. I'm not that kind of person with a bad temper."

Li Chaofei finished the last of the tea in his cup and then stood up.

He then asked with a relaxed expression, "How is it? Little girl, do you need my help?"

"Help? Lily never needs help from anyone!"

"Lily has been struggling to survive on her own since she was a child."

The little girl had no idea why Li Chaofei would say such a thing.

Is it really fun to tease her?

"Demon King, you're an adventurer too!"

"And the people I hate most in this world are all the adventurers!"

Lily mustered her courage and spoke up boldly, regardless of the consequences.

What you hate is none of my business.

"Anyway, I do whatever I want to do simply because I want to."

Li Chaofei tossed a money pouch to the bewildered Xi'er.

"After all, it's the Soma Familia; I've wanted to visit it for a long time."
