At that moment, Kaguya's voice came from outside as she walked in.
The moment she heard about the dinner gathering, she had rushed over.
"Why'd you come so early? It hasn't even started."
Food wasn't ready yet, after all.
"Can't I just come over to hang out?"
Kaguya was instantly displeased.
It was as if she wasn't welcome.
"Fine, fine. Still weird though, seeing you come here instead of playing games."
Kaguya, not holed up gaming but actually coming in personsomething felt off.
"Games are boring now. I've played everything. When are you giving me something new? I paused time before and played through every game."
She had seriously binged through the entire gaming library.
She'd been at it for yearseven died from overplaying a few times.
She was kind of amazing.
Takumi could only stare at her speechlessly.
Well, that's Kaguya for you.
"Next time, for sure!"
Kaguya pouted.
"Whatever. When are you moving Liyue here? That old man should be ready by now, right? Liyue Harbor seems pretty much built."
She dropped the topic and asked something else.
Liyue Harbor was basically finished.
Keqing had already completed all the renovations, and they had even started replicating other landmarks.
The foundational work was pretty much done.
So when was Takumi going to move the whole city?
"Yeah... I've seen stuff about it online. A lot of people are curious about this newly built city."
Bronya chimed in.
She, too, had seen the discussions circulating online. Since she was always browsing the web, she was aware of the buzz.
Liyue Harbor was ready.
"That's up to the old man. He'll decide when it's time. Probably not in a rush. And even if they move, it'll happen in batches."
Takumi shrugged.
He wasn't too concerned. When the time came, Zhongli would contact him.
"But the old man doesn't have anyone to notify him, does he? Shouldn't you tell him? He might not even know it's ready."
Bronya gave Takumi a meaningful look.
No one had informed Zhongli yet.
He probably didn't know Liyue Harbor was good to go.
Takumi realized she was right.
"I'll tell him."
He opened the chat group and sent a message.
Takumi: [@Zhongli, Liyue Harbor is done. What are your plans?]
He directly pinged Zhongli with the update.
Soon after, Zhongli replied. He had already made arrangements.
Zhongli: [I'll send a few people over first.]
[Takumi's exclusive red packet.]
[Please help me invite Ningguang. I can't do it myself since she's in another world.]
He still needed to bring her in.
Since she wasn't in the same world, only Takumi could add her.
Takumi: [OK. You guys can figure out the migration plan.]
[Ningguang has joined the group chat.]
Not long after that, Ningguang was pulled into the group.
She was busy working when the group chat suddenly appeared, leaving her stunned.
Ningguang: [Takumi?]
Realizing it was Takumi who invited her, she was very surprised.
Takumi: [Zhongli gave me the points. He asked me to add you.]
Zhongli: [Let's talk in private. We need to discuss the migration.]
Zhongli said his piece in the group, then messaged Ningguang privately.
Takumi saw this and stopped paying attention to the group.
Let them handle it.
Unless all of Teyvat was migrating, Takumi didn't need to be involved.
For now, Takumi and Bronya went to help prepare dinner.
As night fell, more guests arrived.
Lala and her entire family were brought over by Elysia.
When Elysia arrived and saw Bronya and the others, she happily greeted them.
"Hi~! We meet again! Did you miss me?"
Elysia immediately walked up to Bronya with a radiant smile.
It had been a while since she saw her Big Ducky.
She had missed her dearly.
And maybe it was just her imagination, but Bronya looked even more dazzling and beautiful now.
Blinking thoughtfully, Elysia asked,
"Bronya, did you get prettier? Are you using some kind of skincare product?"
She was really curious!
The change in aura was baffling.
It was like Bronya had transformed from a shy girl into a mature beauty.
Flushed at first, Bronya quickly recomposed herself.
"That's just your imagination."
Of course she wouldn't admit it.
If you find a man, you can become like this too.
How could she say that out loud?
"Bronya's probably dating Takumi. That's why."
Eden entered just then, a small smile on her lips as she looked at Bronya.
Even if she hadn't experienced it herself, she understood well enough.
That kind of maturity only came from love.
Those who knew, knew.
The shift from girlhood to womanhood was something Eden understood.
Elysia blinked in surprise.
Then everything clicked.
So that's what it was!
Chapter 320: Lala May Be Nice, But Momo Is More Alluring
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
No wonder Bronya had changed. I get it now!
Kaguya-hime listened to the conversation and immediately turned her gaze toward Takumi.
The meaning was clear as day.
Did you actually win over Bronya?
Takumi noticed her gaze too, and it made him uncomfortable.
What kind of expression is that supposed to be?
"Hey hey~!"
Kaguya-hime gave Takumi a big thumbs-up but didn't say anything further.
As expected of you. Truly.
One trip with Bronya and you've already sealed the deal?
"Takumi, Takumi."
"Can I settle down in your world?"
"I heard you're developing civilization here?"
"I think I can help!!"
At that moment, Lala ran straight to Takumi and enthusiastically shared her request.
After learning everything about this place, she had made up her mindshe wanted to be part of Takumi's world.
So much of the technology here was amazing. She wanted to join in.
"No problem!"
Takumi agreed without hesitation.
As long as someone's willing, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Back before Lala even joined the chat group, Takumi had already thought about this.
He had imagined, if only Lala could join the group, then she could help build civilization.
Now that she was here, he wouldn't let the opportunity pass.
"Awesome!"
"Then from now on, I'll stay here."
"Mother, I'm not going back."
"If you need me, come find me here."
Lala acted on her decisions quickly. Without delay, she informed her mother.
Upon hearing her daughter's declaration, Queen Sephie was somewhat helpless.
"Alright then."
"As long as you're happy."
"But you need to let your father know."
Although she was fine with it, Lala's father might feel differently.
"I approve too."
"Stay here from now on."
"I'm interested in this world as well."
"Give me a few planets, and I'll bring the Dilukbik military over."
"This universe of yours is a goldmine waiting to be explored."
As everyone chatted, Kido returned.
He had just wandered around Takumi's world and even consulted the AI about the universe here.
To Kido, this place was simply too enticing.
So he had made up his mind: he would bring his army here.
Conquering a brand-new universe sounded like a thrilling prospect.
And this wasn't just a galaxyit was the entire universe!
How could that not excite him?
He felt like there was plenty of room to operate here.
He could launch his conquest of the cosmos from this world.
In his own world, he was the emperor of the galaxy.
But he had never set foot in other star systems, and that had always been a regret.
Now, it seemed that dream could come true in Takumi's universe.
In the past, his physical limitations had prevented himhe lacked the energy.
But now, Takumi's world was full of good stuff.
He could finally leave those worries behind.
How could he not be thrilled?
"Kido, you've recovered?"
Sephie looked at Kido's current state in surprise.
How did you recover so quickly in just a few hours?
"Yup!"
"This world has the things I needed to fix myself!"
"Honestly, it's such good news."
Kido's tone couldn't hide his excitement.
"Yay!"
"Then there's no problem anymore!"
Lala didn't care much about the details.
Seeing her father's approval, she couldn't have been happier.
That meant she could officially stay in Takumi's world.
But she soon remembered something.
"You're not going to force me to get married again, right?"
With puffed cheeks, Lala glared angrily at Kido.
That was the thing she hated most about her dadalways pushing her to marry.
"What do you think about him?"
Kido didn't reply. Instead, he pointed at Takumi.
Having Takumi as a son-in-law actually seemed like a great idea.
Although they had just met, he already liked him.
This guy was powerful and handsome.
Wasn't that a perfect son-in-law?
Plus, Takumi was the ruler of an entire world.
Takumi's expression turned awkward at that.
And the others? They weren't letting it go either.
The conversation had somehow become all about Takumi.
Momo's eyes lit up at her father's suggestion.
Having Takumi as her brother-in-law?
Didn't sound bad at all.
After receiving the terminal from Takumi, she had already looked up plenty of information about him.
Takumi was an incredible person.
Lala was dumbfounded by her father's suggestion.
But she quickly snapped out of it, glanced at Takumi, and her eyes sparkled.
"If it's Takumi, then I don't mind!!"
"This gives me even more reason to stay here forever."
Even though she didn't know much about him, her instincts told herTakumi was an amazing choice.
"Are all you aliens always this direct?"
Listening to them go back and forth, Takumi couldn't help but interrupt.
What about my opinion?
Could you at least ask what I think?
Didn't they see everyone around already giving him strange looks?
Were they really offering themselves to him that fast?
Even light-speed gifts don't come this quickly!
"Do you have a problem with it?"
"Or do you think my daughter isn't good enough?"
Yeah... these aliens really were that direct.
But still, what kind of response was that?
Do you think my daughter's not good enough?
"Uhh"
"Lala is great, but Momo is even more tempting!"
A real man doesn't flinch.
Takumi said it outright.
Momo froze.
Then her cheeks flushed red.
"I wouldn't say no."
She really hadn't expected things to turn toward her.
But maybe it wasn't so bad?
Though it was their first meeting, she had a very good impression of Takumi.
Men liked beauty, and she liked handsome men.
It was mutual.
If she had to choose a husband, someone like Takumi would be ideal.
Her mother was known as the most beautiful woman in the universe.
And they were both of the Charmian race.
Naturally, they inherited some of the Charmian abilities.
Besides beauty they had an ability that might sound a bit awkward to talk about.
The ability to attract men and charm them.
Even if they were mixed-blood, those abilities still existed.
That's why both Momo and Lala found Takumi to be such a great catch.
"Momo?"
Sephie was stunned hearing her daughter say that.
But she quickly accepted it.
After glancing at Takumi, she figured it made sense.
If she weren't already a mother, she might have chosen Takumi too.
Nothing wrong with that.
Her daughter had inherited her traits, and agreeing like this was normal.
Alright, that's settled.
Only Takumi was left feeling speechless.
Are all of you really okay with this??
Chapter 321: Galgi Was Captured by Izayoi
You aliens are just too casual about things.
But when Takumi thought more deeply about the suitors Kido had chosen for Lala, he fell into silence. As long as it had a humanoid formactually, sometimes not even thatit qualified. He couldn't help but grumble inwardly, but didn't say anything more on the subject. After all, they had just met. Best to maintain some restraint.
While Takumi was silently sighing, Izayoi suddenly sent him a red envelope. Seeing it, Takumi understood right awayit meant Asuka and the others had arrived. Quickly, he accepted the red envelope and released them.
"Everyone's here now."
"Alright, no more chatter. It's time to eat. The food's already been prepared."
Takumi cut off the conversation and called for everyone's attention. Now it was time to eat.
Asuka and Kasukabe Y had just arrived and were confused by what had been going on. But since Takumi had already made the call, everyone refrained from discussing the previous topic any further.
Delicious dishes were brought to the table one after another. The people from the chat group and Lala's family all found the food immensely interesting.
During the meal, Queen Sephie couldn't help but ask, "Can we import these ingredients into our world? We could dedicate a few planets specifically for cultivating or breeding these delicacies."
Her gaze turned toward Kido. Hearing her words, Kido nodded.
"Sure. We can arrange for some to be brought back. Momo, Nanacan I leave this task to you two?"
Momo's abilities focused on plants, while Nana specialized in animals. Having them handle this would be ideal.
Hearing their father's words, the sisters had no objections. In fact, they seemed eager.
"Leave it to us, Father," Momo agreed first. Nana also nodded from the side. After tasting the food themselves, they were even more excited. If they could grow these ingredients in their own world, countless people could benefit. Plus, it meant they'd frequently have to visit Takumi's world, which neither of them minded at all.
Just like that, the matter was casually settled between the royal family members.
People continued to toast and enjoy themselves. Once they were full, Queen Sephie took Kido and left, leaving the three sisters in Takumi's care. Kido also had things to organize back in his world.
After the banquet dispersed, Lala, Momo, and Nana settled in at Takumi's place. Chika Fujiwara and the others were still there too. Clearly, no one planned on leaving.
"When do we get missions?" Lala asked, eager for action. "I want to earn some points and power myself up."
Seeing her excitement, Takumi explained, "Well, that really depends on luck. Missions appear randomly. Since I joined the group, only two missions have appearedand both were related to world fusion."
Group missions were highly unpredictable. No one knew when one might pop up.
