If anything, she would support her.
As for Satomi Rentarouneither of them had much to say.
Once Miori told Kisara about what Rentarou would do in the future,
Kisara gave up completely.
She knew Rentarou well enough to believe he'd really do it.
So, there wasn't much else to say.
Leaving with Miori and going to another world sounded great.
Once her revenge was complete, there would be no more attachments to this world.
Takumi smiled as he read Miori's message.
This was actually a good outcome.
The story hadn't started, and none of the tragedies had happened yet.
Miori had chosen to leave the world.
She had likely begun liquidating her family's assets already.
They were converting everything into valuables
and gathering the Initiators.
With money, many things could be easily handled.
By the time others caught on, it would be too late.
Takumi:
[Thanks again.]
[Keep collecting the cursed children.]
[I'll come pack things up soon.]
[Contact me anytime if something comes up.]
[I can teleport over whenever needed.]
Takumi always had enough points to teleport.
So if anything came up, he could arrive instantly.
For now, Miori was still handling family affairs.
Takumi would wait until she was done before making his move.
Once everything was settled, he'd gather the children and leave that world.
Surely there would be some conflictsbut nothing major.
Who in that world could be a match for Takumi?
Even if the whole world stood against him, they probably couldn't even scratch him.
He was confident in this rescue mission.
Reading Takumi's reply, Miori breathed a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, their current mass asset liquidation made a lot of people suspicious.
Her family was the world's largest arms dealer,
but they looked like they were about to flee.
People were bound to question it.
Luckily, she and her father had planned everything in advance.
The public statement from Shiba Heavy Industries was that there was internal conflict.
Also, her father had supposedly had an incident,
so she was taking over the company amid turmoil.
Hence the need to liquidate some assets,
and the excuse to search for Initiators
supposedly to gain their power and stabilize the company.
All the necessary excuses were lined up.
As a result, many outsiders were treating the situation like a spectacle.
No one had realized Shiba Heavy Industries was genuinely preparing to flee.
She and her father had worked out the plan in detail.
Everything was progressing smoothly.
They had even contacted a number of trustworthy and upright people,
informing them of the opportunity.
When they learned they could live in another world
one without Gastrea,
peaceful and safe,
free from conflict
and when Miori demonstrated superpowers,
they were instantly onboard.
She even promised they'd each receive a superpower awakening potion after immigrating.
Everyone would benefit.
With such incentives and safety,
not a single one of the contacted people refused.
Another world promised better prospects.
Although they would be starting over,
houses and protection would be provided.
Compared to their current world
where one misstep could mean death
why would anyone choose to stay behind?
Chapter 26: Star-Destroyer Fleet, Ready for Deployment
After Miori Shiba and her father explained everything to the people they trusted,
no one refused.
Everyone was willing to leave.
Especially after learning they would receive a superpower awakening potion,
free housing, and strength in the new world
who would want to stay?
If someone told you there was a place without war, without danger,
that would give you a home and power,
and you could bring your whole family along
wouldn't you go?
Naturally, most people would agree.
Because of that, the secret migration was already underway.
Many had begun preparing.
To outsiders, Shiba Heavy Industries looked like it was having internal conflict.
Opportunists came swarming in to scoop up the scraps.
But in truth, it was all a smokescreen.
Behind the scenes, the company had started acquiring rare metals in bulk.
As Miori put it:
"Just buy it all. takumi can take it with him."
Thanks to takumi's spatial abilities,
he could bring as much as he wanted.
All the valuables would be transported to the new world,
where they could easily be converted to currency.
So, exchange whatever you can.
...
Meanwhile, takumi was also preparing on his end.
He began building more homes,
filling in the reserved plots of land.
He even set aside entire residential areas just for the cursed children.
Networks and infrastructure were under construction.
Factories and shops were being assembled by robots.
His idea was to be ready before the people even arrived.
Everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently.
takumi would occasionally check in with the chat group,
posting a daily greeting or status update.
Every day, Miori Shiba reported her progress to takumi.
After a week,
everything on her end was ready.
She had already gathered Enju Aihara, Kisara Tendou, Tina Sprout, Kohina Hiruko, and others.
Miori also secretly contacted other cursed children,
instructing them to gather their friends.
Someone would come to take them away.
At first, the cursed children didn't believe her.
But once Miori demonstrated her superpowers and advanced technology from another world,
they became convincedand excited.
With the help of Seitenshi Summer,
it was easier to organize them.
Seitenshi Summer, the clever dolphin-gene girl,
understood Miori's purpose immediately and offered plenty of advice.
Thanks to her, everything went even more smoothly.
Alongside Enju, Tina, Kohina, and Asaka,
Miori successfully gathered many Initiators.
Though it cost her a lot of money,
Miori didn't mind.
With money, anything was possible.
Besides, if she didn't use her funds now,
they'd become worthless in the other world.
So she made sure to use every last resource.
As for the remaining Initiators,
time had been too short to find them all.
In addition to gathering Initiators,
Miori also visited Sumire Muroto, one of the Four Sages.
She recruited her as well
using another superpower awakening potion.
Every potion takumi had given her had been put to use.
Once Sumire confirmed the existence of another world,
she became extremely interested.
A chance to live elsewhere?
She agreed without hesitation.
Miori had done everything she could.
Now all that was left was for takumi to arrive.
When takumi learned of her preparations from the chat group,
he got ready to depart.
He had also completed his tasks:
besides building a city,
he had constructed several Star-Destroyer-class warships,
using technology acquired from the Black Tower.
Once he confirmed everything was in order,
takumi made his move.
takumi:
[Alright then. I'm heading out now!]
He posted to the chat,
then activated the teleportation talisman.
This talisman was two-way.
He only had to tap "return" to come back.
Only after purchasing it did he discover that feature.
The group exploded with curiosity.
Chika Fujiwara:
[Too bad it can't be livestreamed.]
[It'd be great to watch it!]
Sagiri:
[Agreed. I want to see the livestream.]
[How does takumi-oniichan save people from another world?]
takumi had never shared the details of his plan,
but everyone was extremely curious.
How was he going to take the cursed children away from that world?
Despite being labeled as cursed,
those children were treated as tools
weapons in the eyes of others.
Now, someone was coming to steal their tools.
It would be strange if they didn't panic.
The group became lively with speculation.
Miori, seeing the messages,
immediately sent a signal to Kisara Tendou.
It was time.
They could now make their final preparations.
Kisara could finally begin her revenge.
She had long been lying in wait near the Tendou estate.
When she received Miori's message,
a sharp gleam of bloodlust appeared in her eyes.
She had spent this entire time preparing.
Now, the day had come.
Rentarou Satomi had been searching for her recently,
but she ignored him.
Kisara had already resolved to sever all ties with him.
All she wanted now was revenge.
It was early morning in their world.
Everyone was present.
A perfect day for vengeance.
Kisara picked up her katana
and boldly marched toward the Tendou estate.
Standing before the gate,
she felt no emotion toward the place she hated so much.
She raised her hand and drew her sword.
Boom!
The gate was sliced clean open.
Kisara's strength had grown immensely.
The awakening potion given to her had granted tremendous power.
Her original abilities weren't weak to begin with.
Now, her strength had more than doubledmaybe tripled.
And she would only get stronger.
But now wasn't the time to think about that.
As the gate burst open,
guards responded instantly,
sounding the alarm.
Kisara walked inside calmly.
When the guards appeared,
she showed no reaction.
In a flash, she vanished
and they collapsed without a word.
Blood stained her katana.
Kisara moved deeper into the heart of the estate.
Her true enemy was still waiting there.
Chapter 27: Star-Destroyers in Your Face Moved Yet?
The Tendou family was attacked.
The news reached the Metropolitan Police Department quickly.
Everyone who heard it was stunned.
Who dared to attack the Tendou family?
Before anyone could react,
the sky suddenly twisted.
Five colossal warships emerged from the void.
One of them opened its cannon portsaimed directly at the city below.
The others scattered and flew to different parts of the world.
People in the Tokyo area looked up at the sky.
Those still going about their morning routines felt a deep chill.
Even though the sun had just risen
even though it was the middle of summer
all anyone felt was cold.
They were being targeted.
Panic spread through Tokyo the moment the Star-Destroyers appeared.
People received emergency alerts and rushed out of their homes to look up.
When they saw the warships, they froze in disbelief.
Fear rapidly set in.
"This must be a joke..."
"Spaceships?!"
"Is this some international prank?"
"What's going on?!"
"Why are we being targeted?!"
Everyone felt their scalps tingle.
No one could understand what was happening.
Miori Shiba stepped outside when she heard the commotion.
She looked up, saw the warshipsand fell silent.
She calmly snapped a photo and sent it to the group chat.
Miori Shiba:
[Can anyone explain this??]
[I'm being targeted by a Star-Destroyer.]
Despite her words, she felt no fear.
She knew takumi had arrived.
Though his entrance was a bit too intense...
He came straight in and locked the city down with warships?
Chika Fujiwara:
[Good grief!!]
[Aliens have landed!!]
Sagiri:
[Terrifying!!!]
Megumi Kato:
[Isn't this a bit too much? They're probably scared out of their minds.]
Everyone in the group was shocked by the scene.
Seriously?
Using Star-Destroyers to announce your arrival?
Anyone who didn't know would think it was an alien invasion.
Meanwhile, takumi wasn't responding to the group.
He had already hacked the entire network of this world.
In an instant, all online activity froze.
No one could send or receive any messages.
Every screen now displayed takumi's face
including those browsing... questionable sites.
He had hijacked the entire internet.
"Good morning, everyone."
With his authority powers, takumi had taken over the network.
Now, anywhere with signal could see his broadcast.
And with the warships hovering over the cities
plus the Star-Destroyer in orbit aiming at Earth
everyone was dumbfounded.
What in the world...?
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm takumi"
"I come from another world."
"I'm here for one thing"
"The cursed children."
"I want all of them!"
"Any objections?"
People usually say not to panicrecord a video first.
But now they couldn't even do that.
No wonder they were losing it.
Those who heard his speech were confused.
Cursed children?
He came here to take the cursed children?
No one understood what was going on.
But takumi didn't plan on explaining.
He continued speaking:
"By now, you should understand your situation."
"I've taken control of your networks and communications."
"All your planes, carseverything's shut down."
"Don't resist."
"I'm reasonable, but that doesn't mean I'm kind."
"Frankly, I hate your world."
takumi rambled on.
Maybe it had been too long since he'd talked to anyone
he just couldn't stop.
After going off on several tangents,
he finally got back to the point.
"The cursed children."
"You abandoned themso I'll take them."
"From now on, all cursed children please head to open areas."
"Cool robots will descend from the skies to pick you up."
"I will bring you to a new worldsafe, full of food,
with soft beds and a better life."
"In that world, you'll go to school, live under sunlight,
and receive everything you deserve."
"So trust me."
"This world has no god, but if you'll accept me,
I can be yours."
"If any regular person wants to join us,
that's fine too"
"As long as you've never harmed the children."
With that, takumi snapped his fingers.
Small ships and robots began appearing outside the warships,
activating and descending to the cities below.
One after another,
they flew down to retrieve the cursed children.
At that moment, everyone was left speechless.
No one understood what was happening.
But when the robots started moving,
people finally snapped out of it.
"Damn it!!"
"What the hellthis is too arrogant!"
"We never agreed to this!!"
