Devils and other life forms who wished to cross into different worlds had a limited variety of methods available to them. Mostly, it boiled down to two methods. The first was being summoned. A notable point about being summoned was that the summoned life form would be returned to their original world should the summoner die.
The other method was to cross into the desired world via a dimensional gate. A dimensional gate was basically an upgraded version of a teleportation array. What a teleportation array did was to allow instantaneous movement between any point within a world while a dimensional gate allows movement between worlds.
Life forms who crossed through a dimensional gate would enter the world for real; which meant they were able to exist in that world permanently without a summoner. The downside was that in order for them to return to their original world, they would have to use a dimensional gate again…
Dimensional gates were a masterpiece of a bygone era. According to rumors, the materials required to create such an artifact were extremely expensive…as for why it was “according to rumors”, that was because the blueprints and the materials had been lost in an ancient war. Of course, there was also the possibility that they were hidden away on purpose.
Dimensional gates were a must-have for any wannabe dimensional conqueror. With it, you not only gained the ability to tour the world at your whim, you also had the opportunity to conquer it! So take up your swords and axes, countless worlds await your mighty self, all you need to do is construct a dimensional gate!

Having taken care of Duran, Regine finally realized that she was hungry. Her body swayed left and right as she made her way to her seat. With her hands to her knees and her back straightened, she stared at me with an uncaring pair of eyes and opened her mouth wide? And then, she did nothing else.
Are you telling me to feed you? Could you at least wipe the blood off your face before you try to act adorable? Besides, there’s no way I’ll see you as adorable after watching you “play” with Duran like that, no matter how much of a “cold loli” you are…
This stalemate continued for a moment before Ancarin started to notice something. She prodded me: “I think Regine wants you to feed her.”
“…that…I think you should feed her…”
Physical contact right on our first meeting?! That’s just improper, I just could not bring myself to do so. More importantly, she was just not my cup of tea. I prefered the warm, virtuous type like Nicole.
“Weep weep…” She balked at the idea, clearly ‘Alter Regine’ had given her quite a scare.
Fine…it’s not like I didn’t expect the job to fall to me in the end…
Regine’s portion of the food was still left untouched on the table. Grabbing a clean set of utensils, I cut the steak with a practised ease and tried feeding it to her. To my surprise, she actually opened her mouth and unabashedly bit down on the meat without any sign of embarrassment.
It was now my turn to be embarrassed…other than Nicole, this was the first time I fed a girl food…
I awkwardly fed while Regine robotically ate, soon the plate of food was picked clean and yet her mouth remained open as wide open as before, her hunger seemingly unsated.
I smiled bitterly as I handed over the plate to Ancarin. She nodded her head and said: “There should be some leftover ingredients in the kitchen, I’ll prepare them right away.”
“Mhm, I’ll have to trouble you then.” I politely thanked her. As her petite back disappeared from my sight, I turned to face Regine.
Due to my awkward feeding her shapely lips were covered in meat sauce, however she didn’t seem to notice this as she sat there as quietly as ever. The more I looked at her, the more I felt sorry for her plight. Without giving it much thought, I instinctively put down the cutlery and reached out for a napkin.
However, just as I was about to reach out and wipe her mouth, a thought occurred to me.
Feeding her was one thing but what about wiping her mouth? Doesn’t this seem more like a relationship between a boy and a girl?
As that thought occurred to me, my hands froze there awkwardly, not knowing whether to continue or not.
Regine on the other hand, wasn’t infected by this confusion plaguing me. Her clammy hands latched onto mine and before I even reacted to it, pulled it to her lips. With that done, her hands returned to their resting spot atop her knees as if nothing had happened.
My hand…was on Regine’s…
Err…I…I guess I should just wipe her lips, it’s not like she’ll get pregnant from me doing so.
Just as I went about done wiping her mouth, Ancarin came in with a plate of mouth watering food in hand. As she looked at me, she opened her petite little mouth in shock as if she had just witnessed something unthinkable. A few seconds later, she recovered from the surprise, however the look she gave me had something extra mixed within it.
With her hands covering her mouth as she set the plate on the table, she gave me a roguish smile. “You guys are at it already?”
Knowing that she was merely joking and that this wasn’t a matter that was easily explained anyway, I couldn’t be bothered doing so and blandly said: “You’re thinking too much.”
Seeing that I didn’t take the bait, she went back to her seat and obediently sat there watching me feed Regine.
As the last morsel entered her mouth, Ancarin began cleaning up the table. With Regine fed, I had some spare time on hand and wanted to get some questioning in. However before I could do so, she got up and walked towards Duran with that half finished potion in hand…
Fine, I’ll come back for him once you’re done playing.
