So she gave them a definitive thumbs-down.
"Probably within a few days," takumi said, stroking his chin.
"The other worlds are almost fully fused."
"This world is the last one."
Akame's world had completely merged.
Then the DanMachi world followed.
Nearby worlds had already finished fusing.
Thanks to divine agreements, nothing major occurred.
If anything, some people got the short end of the stick.
Like the Demon Lords of the KonoSuba world
They were hunted down by people from the DanMachi world.
Apparently, the battle lasted several days.
Beyond that, everything was peaceful.
The fusions went quite smoothly.
Even the two heavens were merginghow could it not be harmonious?
All that's left is for the Slime world to fuse,
and then this world, and we can go home.
Just a few more days.
"Oh!" Jibril nodded.
"Got it. I'll go explore a bit."
"This world is still pretty fun."
With that, she left cheerfully.
Though, as she walked out, she suddenly paused.
Why did she come here again?
Blinking, Jibril was puzzled.
She thought for a momentthen gave up.
Oh well.
With that, she wandered off again,
returning to browsing her data.
As for takumi, he began making arrangements for the lolis before him.
"Next, I'll send you all to my world."
"Get familiar with things over there first."
As he spoke, takumi handed them a few terminals.
Hearing his instructions, Avrora and the others looked confused.
They were going to another world again?
takumi handed out the terminals
and implanted them with some information.
Once the girls were released on the other side,
Prometheus would take care of everything right away.
Chapter 279: From Today On, Call Me Shokuhou
After handing the terminals to the girls, takumi put them back into the space bracelet.
Once everything was settled, takumi messaged Yuu in the chat group.
takumi: [@Yuu, ping ping.]
Seeing his message, Yuu was puzzled.
Takumi had been contacting her more frequently lately. Was there something he wanted her to do again?
Yuu: [What is it?]
takumi: [Exclusive red packet for Yuu] [I'm entrusting them to you. Please settle them in my villa.] [Prometheus will take care of everything later.]
Takumi sent over the space bracelet directly.
Seeing the message, Yuu was speechless.
Receiving more things from him again?
She mumbled to herself but accepted it anyway.
Avrora and the others, huh?
Yuu: [Got it.]
After saying so in the group, she closed the chat and began making arrangements.
Fujiwara Chika: [Hiding lolis in a golden house?] [(Д)]
As expected, those must be the vessels that Izayoi gave to takumi, right?
takumi: [They're old enough to be your great-great-grandmothers!!] [What nonsense are you spouting!!]
They may look like lolis, but their souls are those of mature women!
Fujiwara Chika: [Tch~!] [Still, you're hiding lolis. That's a crime, you know?]
That's illegal!!
takumi: [In my world, my word is law!] [Who dares accuse this official in my own court?]
Takumi laughed as he read Chika's messages.
Fujiwara Chika: [] [Things are almost wrapped up on our side too.] [We've found everyone we needed. The rest can fend for themselves.] [Some of them aren't exactly good people~!]
She didn't continue bickering with takumi and instead reported her progress.
takumi: [We're almost there too.] [Everything's readyjust waiting for the fusion.]
With all preparations complete, they just needed to wait patiently.
Fujiwara Chika: [Mission complete, so I'm heading home!] [Lend me a space bracelet!!]
Now that her mission was done and she had enough points, it was time to bring her family over.
And also Kaguya and Hayasaka.
As for others? Forget it.
Takumi chuckledlooks like she had made her decision.
takumi: [@Megumi Kato @Asuna Yuuki, what about you two?]
Now that Chika had decided, only those two remained.
Megumi Kato: [Count me in.]
Asuna Yuuki: [Give me one too.]
They had already made their decisions.
They wanted to bring their parents over.
Complete immigration.
If any relatives or friends wanted to come, they'd bring them too.
They'd deal with the rest later.
Seeing this, takumi didn't hesitate and lent them the items.
Currently, they didn't have enough points to buy a space bracelet outright.
So borrowing from takumi was the only option.
Using it temporarily was fine.
After sending the red packets, takumi added a few more messages.
takumi: [Don't forgetbring over Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri! I've admired them for ages!!] [Asuna, remember to bring Sinon!!] [Chika, don't forget Hayasaka.]
He made sure to remind them.
Seeing his messages, the girls were speechless.
Bronya: [You're not even trying to hide it anymore, huh?]
Bronya was utterly speechless.
Asking people to bring their families was one thing,
but now friends too? Name-dropping like thatwhy not just say you want them?
Fujiwara Chika: [emm...]
Megumi Kato: [We'll try... Please don't pressure me!!] [No guarantees!!]
Asuna Yuuki: [Alright, I'll give it a try. Sinon shouldn't be a problem?]
Their reactions varied,
but it probably wouldn't be an issue.
Bringing friends over was fine too.
Once they immigrated, they'd all be fellow villagers.
Oh righttakumi had already brought quite a few people from their worlds before.
So they might find some familiar faces.
takumi: [I don't just want them. I want Ikaros, Kanade, Tifa, Alice, Kurumi...]
He didn't just want themhe really wanted them.
Seeing his pervy confession, the whole chat went silent.
Houraisan Kaguya: [So you're saying Touhou has zero presence!!] [You truly are the worst!!]
takumi: [Touhou? I already have them in my world.]
Nonsense! How could they lack presence?
They were already in his world!
Saten Ruiko: [Alright, alright, enough!] [@takumi, if you have time, come to my world!!] [I'm really being targeted.]
Saten Ruiko, who hadn't participated in the mission, finally spoke up.
She really wanted takumi to visit her world.
Seeing her message, takumi laughed.
takumi: [What now?] [Did the bald guy come after you?]
Did Aleister finally go after her?
Or was it something else?
Saten Ruiko: [QAQ So many research facilities want to use me as a lab rat!!!] [Even the dark side's targeting me.]
She recently discovered she'd been marked by the dark side.
She never expected to attract this much attention.
takumi: [Lol!] [Should I send the War God to help you out?] [He'd love the chance!]
Takumi found her situation amusing.
Maybe Aleister really did target her.
Or maybe it was just a test?
How about sending the War God over?
shiroyasha: [I support this!!] [Sending the War God sounds fun!!] [I can even toss in a few dragons!!] [That world is really interesting.] [The power gaps are insanesuper strong ones who destroy worlds like it's nothing, and the rest are weak as hell. It's like a cliff between them.] [Maybe if we send the War God or some dragons over, they might gain boosts?] [takumi, want to try sending some Dragonkin too?]
Shiroyasha was very intrigued.
She'd looked into that world and found it bizarre.
She was curious what would happen if high-level species were dropped in.
Saten Ruiko: [Are you trying to get me killed?] [No way!!] [I refuse!!]
No thanks!
If the War God came over, it'd trigger a world war!
And Dragonkin too?
The demon gods might have to step in personally.
She might die a hundred times without knowing why.
So, no thank you!
takumi: [Let's talk after I finish my tasks.] [I'm really curious about Aiwass.] [Oh, and Misaki Shokuhou too!!] [From now on, call me Shokuhou.]
In that case, it's settled.
The angels of a purely physical law-based world
That's pretty fascinating.
And many of takumi's current powers are the ultimate expression of physical laws anyway.
Chapter 280: Mainly Because My Hands Were Itching
Aiwass is the guardian angel summoned by Aleister.
Unlike the angels described in the Bible, Aiwass exists at the very bottom of the world of pure physical laws.
Just by moving a finger, it possesses the power to destroy a world.
So takumi was deeply curious about it.
A pure embodiment of physical lawsshouldn't it be thoroughly researched?
Saten Ruiko: [Great!] [Let me know when you arrive.] [I've been staying with Misaka Mikoto recently!]
Saten Ruiko felt relieved when takumi agreed.
That should resolve things.
Shiroyasha: [I'm coming too!!] [I'm really interested in your world!!]
Shiroyasha joined in.
She had decided to head over for a look.
Of all the worlds in the group, few truly piqued her interest,
but the Toaru (Raildex) world was one of them.
Since takumi was going, she might as well tag along.
She'd just have Izayoi send herno need for points!
Seeing this, Saten Ruiko hesitated but agreed.
Saten Ruiko: [Alright then, Shiroyasha-sama can come too.]
If Shiroyasha wanted to come, what could she do?
She had no choice but to accept it.
Though honestly, it might be a good thing
with two powerhouses around, there shouldn't be any problems.
Worst case scenario? Run.
Pack up and escape to takumi's world!
With just a few exchanges, everyone in the chat group made their decisions.
Then they went back to their own tasks.
Takumi had finished researching the Holy Grail.
Now all that remained was to see what would happen when the worlds fused.
If the Holy Grail could indeed carry over the laws from other worlds,
then things would get very interesting.
So takumi was quite excited.
Time passed quickly, and three days later, the world fusion began.
At the very moment fusion started, takumi sensed it.
Not only takumithe War God sensed the change as well.
"Has it started?"
Sensing the beginning of the fusion, the War God grew excited.
He rose from his throne and vanished on the spot.
Since the worlds were fusing, he figured there'd be no problem checking things out early.
As he disappeared, takumi immediately sensed it.
takumi: [@Shiroyasha, how's your side?] [The fusion has started here. The War God already ran off.]
Takumi set down his cup and asked about Shiroyasha's status.
If things had started for him, how about her?
Shiroyasha: [Everything's smooth!] [The War God is coming? I'll go greet him!!]
With that message, Shiroyasha vanished from the group.
She was curious about the War God. If he'd arrived, how could she not spar with him?
He came all this way, after all.
Besides, she would eventually take him to Little Garden anyway.
So they'd better fight first.
Seeing her message, takumi sighed
There they go fighting again.
"Lord takumi!"
Just as he was speechless, Azriel rushed in.
She had accepted Shiroyasha as her new master,
and they were all aware that takumi would be taking them to his world.
They'd also noticed the signs of world fusion.
Not just themprobably other races had sensed it too.
So she came to ask takumi what they should do.
"What is it, Azriel?"
Takumi looked at her in confusion.
"The worlds are starting to fuse. What should we do?"
"Do we just wait?"
There was some anticipation in her eyes.
Should they prepare for battle?
Hearing her, takumi took out the Holy Grail.
"Just wait."
"Wait until the fusion is complete."
"Next, I'll need to inform this world's people as well."
With that, takumi sprang into action.
Through the Holy Grail, he broadcast the news of the fusion,
informing everyone in the world.
Upon receiving the announcement, many people were stunned.
Their world was merging with others?
Everyone was suddenly interested.
Even the gods began to move.
They had to go check out the excitement
maybe meet some powerful folks from other worlds.
And leaving this world would mean no more restrictive laws, right?
In no time, people across the world sprang into action.
After handling that, takumi mused aloud:
"Don't panic, everyone."
"I'll store you all in my space for now."
"I'm packaging all of Avant together."
Since the fusion had begun, it was time for takumi to return to the other side.
Hearing him, Azriel was momentarily stunned, but then nodded.
"Understood, Lord takumi!!"
Avant, after all, was a phantasmal species.
The Skywing race had built their nation upon it.
It was also a colossal war fortress.
Since Artosh gave the Skywing race to takumi,
naturally all of this came with it.
After explaining things to Azriel,
takumi began taking action.
Aside from packaging the Skywing race,
he also had to summon all the Ex-Machina.
Takumi flew above Avant
and opened a massive spatial rift, swallowing Avant whole.
The Skywing race, unaware of what was happening,
watched in bewilderment.
But Azriel's voice soon rang out.
"Everyone stay calm, nya~."
"Lord takumi is relocating us all, nya~."
Upon hearing her, they lowered their guard.
Elsewhere, Jibril looked up from her reading, eyes gleaming.
"It's finally starting?"
This was going to be great.
She was quite looking forward to going to takumi's world.
Of course, what she most anticipated was visiting Little Garden.
A stage filled with gods and buddhas
surely it held many treasures!
...
Takumi stuffed all of Avant into his Imaginary Space.
Once done, he gave the order to the Ex-Machina.
Soon, one by one, they appeared around him
led by Einsie.
"All Ex-Machina are assembled."
With a calm expression, Einsie reported to takumi.
Hearing this, takumi nodded.
"Good."
"Then proceed inside."
He gestured for them to enter the Imaginary Space.
The Ex-Machina obeyed at once.
In moments, every last one of them vanished from the world.
With that done, takumi closed the space
and began his return to the Konosuba side.
The gods of this world had all charged in
and likely, battles were imminent.
So takumi figured it best to return.
The laws of the other world
would they be enough to restrain these beings?
If not, then takumi would have to "reason" with them properly.
He'd fought the War God,
but the other gods? Not yet.
