Although Mordred had suddenly come over saying she wanted to date Zuke or something, Zuke had never held any expectations for Mordred.
After all, Mordred's personality and experiences destined this guy to have no connection with the word "date." Having temporarily learned this word, she didn't know at all what dating should involve.
Even having Kaguya Shinomiya, an equally clueless romance novice, come would probably understand what a "date" was better than Mordred.
Sure enough, after following Mordred out of the house, Zuke just followed Mordred walking along the empty streets.
Because it was nighttime, the streets had almost no light sources except streetlights. Most of the residences in the residential area had already turned off their lights to rest.
After walking several streets like this, Mordred finally stopped, then turned back somewhat awkwardly to look at Zuke following behind, speaking in a conflicted tone:
"Um... what exactly are you supposed to do on a date?"
"So you don't even know what you're supposed to do on a date, yet you came to invite me?"
Zuke looked at Mordred somewhat amusedly—he could only say Mordred's actions really didn't exceed Zuke's expectations.
Although he didn't know what book Mordred had seen the content about "dating" in, it probably couldn't possibly describe in detail what dating should involve.
In other words, this so-called "date" would probably still have to be led by Zuke in the end.
To be honest, Zuke originally didn't want to play this "dating" game with Mordred. With this free time, it would be better to go back and try whether planetary energy could really fill the Lesser Grail.
But considering he had already been brought out by Mordred and wasted some time, just going back empty-handed would be somewhat of a loss.
So he looked at Mordred and also made a decision in his heart—since this guy had wasted his time, he'd just collect some interest from her next.
As for what the interest was... Mordred didn't have any abilities on her worth Zuke specifically devouring, so what she could pay was just one thing.
"Dating is nothing more than finding some novelty, going to places you haven't been, and staying together with your date."
Zuke smiled as he looked at Mordred, then stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before saying to her.
"However, at this time, many places have already closed... then I'll take you to a place you probably have never been."
With that, Zuke suddenly reached out and lightly tapped Mordred—Majin Buu's ability activated, and a protective barrier appeared on Mordred's body surface.
"Eh? What's this?"
Mordred was stunned. On one hand, she was somewhat puzzled by the "place she'd never been" that Zuke mentioned, and on the other hand, somewhat puzzled by the protective barrier on her body.
"An ordinary protective barrier. This barrier can ensure you won't be affected even in space, and you can breathe oxygen in space."
Zuke smiled and explained. It must be said that Majin Buu's abilities were quite useful, covering everything from combat, healing, and support.
During the Dragon Ball Super period, Majin Buu often used "entering hibernation and won't wake up for months" as a reason to be unable to participate in the plot.
The author probably understood that Majin Buu's abilities were too versatile. If he participated in the plot, many crises would lose their danger due to Majin Buu's abilities.
However, Zuke didn't have any setting of having to hibernate for months at a time. The Majin Buu abilities he obtained could be used normally at any time.
"Unaffected even in space... you mean?"
Hearing this, Mordred seemed to realize something and suddenly widened her eyes.
Sure enough, the next moment Zuke reached out and grabbed Mordred's hand, then suddenly disappeared from the street.
The next instant, their figures appeared in space—the massive Earth became just one of the planets beneath their feet in their line of sight.
"We're in space just like that?"
Mordred looked around somewhat surprised—as a Heroic Spirit, she had received quite a bit of modern common knowledge through the Grail system, so she naturally knew what space was.
However, knowing was one thing; actually coming to space was a first.
This made her feel amazed while also inevitably feeling somewhat dejected—Zuke could even directly come to space, how incredibly exaggerated was that ability?
Could she really find weaknesses in and inflict any damage on Zuke, who had displayed such exaggerated abilities?
"You don't seem very interested?"
Zuke looked at Mordred. Obviously having come to space, yet Mordred's expression didn't seem happy at all.
But that was fine. Zuke had already prepared his next move.
"Wait... wait! What are you doing!?"
The next moment, the somewhat dejected expression on Mordred's face instantly faded, replaced by a somewhat embarrassed and angry expression.
Zuke had pulled her directly into his arms, then raised his hand to hold her waist—the key was, judging from where Zuke's hand was moving, he obviously didn't just want to touch her waist.
Mordred really hadn't had any romantic experience before, but that didn't mean she was an idiot.
Feeling Zuke's hand being somewhat improper, she seemed to realize something. Her whole person felt off and she instinctively struggled a bit:
"This is space! What do you want to do here!?"
"Isn't this just perfect? There's no one else here who can see what we're doing."
Zuke looked at Mordred's embarrassed and angry appearance and couldn't help but laugh—this kind of expression from Mordred was quite rare.
"I've only done this kind of thing in space with one other person before."
That's right. Doing this kind of thing in space, he had only done it once before with Thor. Mordred was the second.
"...Huh? You've done this kind of thing in space with someone else before?"
Hearing this, Mordred was stunned, momentarily not knowing how to react.
Doing this kind of thing in space, and it wasn't even the first time? Mordred suddenly felt her common sense being challenged.
Could it be that this kind of thing was very common?
"Didn't you want to find my weaknesses?"
Seeing Mordred seeming somewhat confused, Zuke lowered his head and brought his mouth close to Mordred's ear, saying in a low voice.
"This is a good opportunity to understand my body."
Zuke felt that saying this line was a bit like deceiving an innocent child.
The key was... this trick really worked quite well.
