"I want to go to your world to study magic."
"What are the requirements?"
After visiting Takumi's world, she had made up her mind.
The world had changed drastically.
Her current strength wasn't enough.
So she decided to improve herself.
"No requirements."
"You can come over anytime."
"In fact, you could even apply to be a teacher."
"We're actually short on instructors."
"And since you're a legal loli, you'll probably get along great with the staff."
Takumi grinned radiantly.
But Natsuki Minamiya was dumbfounded.
Legal loli?
Did he even realize what he was saying?
She looked at him with a strange expression.
Was he always this shameless?
"No requirements? Got it."
"I'll come by sometime."
"Some schools on Itogami Island want to send students to your world to study too."
"That works out perfectly."
Natsuki understood.
With no issues, she felt reassured.
Takumi nodded.
"Just head over when you're ready."
"Your terminal's Prometheus likely recorded everything we said."
"It'll sync with the database when you return."
Natsuki had a terminal too.
So everything they discussed had been logged.
When she got back, the database would take care of things.
Natsuki nodded.
As expected.
She had now confirmed her suspicions directly from Takumi.
Those free terminals distributed in Takumi's world really did monitor a lot.
She had guessed as much before.
Now it was basically confirmed.
But it wasn't something worth making a fuss over.
The device was incredibly useful, and surely others knew too.
No one ever mentioned it.
"Where's the LCO located?"
Seeing that there were no more issues, Takumi turned to Akaya.
Hearing his question, Akaya quickly stood up.
"It's at..."
She immediately gave him the coordinates.
Takumi then linked to this world's satellite.
After confirming the location, he lifted his hand and drew a gentle arc.
A spatial tunnel opened up.
He gestured for her to follow.
The two walked into the portal one after the other, heading for LCO.
As for Natsuki Minamiya, she stayed behind.
She needed to prepare for her own journey to Takumi's world.
...
Takumi didn't concern himself with Natsuki's matters.
He and Akaya had already arrived in a forest.
This was where LCO's headquarters was located.
He could already see the magically cloaked castle.
"Let's go."
"We're heading straight in."
"You can even meet your daughter~!"
Takumi chuckled as he spoke.
Sendougi Yuma.
Still just a loli.
She was cloned from Akaya's genes.
And probably hadn't been created that long ago.
Akaya frowned.
"I'm unmarried!"
"I don't have a daughter."
"I've never even dated."
She definitely didn't have a child.
"But that clone is technically your daughter, isn't she?"
"Same genes. Even the blood's identical."
"Calling her your daughter isn't wrong."
Takumi pouted.
Unmarried, yet with a child.
And she was still a maiden.
But that didn't change the fact she had a daughter.
Hearing that, Akaya fell silent.
Ah~!
No lies detected.
But it still felt weird!!
Thinking that, Akaya began wondering if she should get rid of the clone.
She had already escaped the prison barrier.
Yuma had only been created as a means of escape.
Now, she had no further use.
But when she thought of Sendougi Yuma's face...
Akaya fell silent.
Forget it. She'd take it one step at a time.
No need to overthink.
She could deal with it later.
After all, she'd soon be heading to another world.
So what did it matter?
Chapter 329: So Tragic, Left Behind Like a Latchkey Kid
Takumi and Akaya Sendougi's arrival immediately put all the witches in the area on high alert.
However, when they saw that it was Akayatheir secretarythey were stunned.
Akaya Sendougi was out of prison?
Shocking!
The witches were completely astonished.
But then, who was the person next to her?
The witches were all curious.
Takumi and Akaya walked straight into the castle.
As they approached, the protective magical barriers around the castle automatically disengagedor rather, crashed.
This wasn't the witches' doing.
It was Takumi's power that caused all the spell arrays to deactivate.
As Takumi entered, several witches gathered around.
"Secretary?"
Even though the world had changed drastically,
And another world had made contact,
Wasn't the prison barrier dismantled?
And weren't the inmates dealt with?
Why was Akaya here?
"It's me."
"I'm out now."
Akaya addressed her subordinates.
She nodded in satisfaction.
More witches began to gather.
Soon, Akaya saw Sendougi Yumathe girl created using her genes.
Seeing Yuma stirred something in her heart.
There was an indescribable feeling.
That was her daughter, after all.
Akaya frowned.
Though she didn't want to admit it, the little one looked exactly like her younger self.
Standing side by side, anyone would think they were mother and daughter.
She sighed internally.
But said nothing.
"Go handle your business."
"I'm heading to your library."
With that, Takumi walked off.
Or rather, this entire castle could be considered a massive library.
The people around frowned slightly upon seeing Takumi.
Who was this man?
But just as their thoughts began forming,
They quickly dissipated.
Naturally, this was Takumi's doing.
He didn't want any unnecessary drama or face-slapping tropes.
So he erased all those potential threats with subtle mental suggestions.
He was here to collect magic booksnot to show off.
Takumi implanted the idea into their minds to ignore his presence.
As he walked, he released his drones.
They began scanning and collecting all the books.
Takumi didn't need the physical copiesonly their contents.
Reading each one manually would take forever.
Hence, the drones.
Under Takumi's control, the drones got to work.
They gathered and organized all the magical texts.
Takumi didn't sit idle either. He picked up a book and began reading.
Some of the magic in this world was quite valuable.
LCO had a comprehensive collection of magical tomes.
Practically all known grimoires in this world were here.
As Takumi read, he started to wonder:
Since he was already in this world, should he collect magical books from the God Slayers as well?
But thinking it over, that sounded troublesome.
Better to let Prometheus issue an official notice once he returned.
Knowledge in exchange for knowledge sounded like a good deal.
His eyes lit up at the thought.
Yesthat was a solid plan.
He'd handle it later.
For now, focus on collecting everything here.
Speaking of which, after condensing his Authority of Law,
Takumi hadn't formed any other Authorities.
Maybe he should try fusing new ones?
The Authority of Sea sounded appealing.
But then he thought of a certain Herrscher and hesitated.
That one was unspeakable.
Honestly, Takumi didn't lack power.
He could manipulate elements, space, and even create from nothing.
There didn't seem to be a need to deliberately forge new Authorities.
Instead, why not integrate the ones he already had?
Fully embrace Honkai Energy as a whole.
As the saying wentHonkai Energy can do everything.
That settled it.
He wouldn't chase new Authorities.
He would perfect the ones he already had.
Combine them into a unified system.
Let his Authorities achieve true omnipotence.
With the Authority of Law, Takumi could actually do this.
It already included fragments of other Authorities.
Except for the Creator's unique creation aspect, everything else could be achieved through magic.
So, developing a fusion of Law and Creation might be the way forward.
Takumi gave this serious thought.
It directly affected his strength.
There was no rush to forge new powers.
If he could wield his current ones freely, that would make him a true sovereign.
To achieve anything with a mere thought:
Time travel, spatial manipulation, or even rebooting the universe.
The End Authority could indeed reset the Earth.
By now, Takumi's power could probably reboot the entire universe.
But rebooting a universe wasn't exactly easy.
Unless he could do it with a thoughtthat would be true greatness.
As these thoughts flowed, his drones continued collecting grimoires.
Once Akaya had finished her business, she returned to Takumi.
Bringing a little girl with her.
Sendougi Yuma.
Clearly, she had accepted the girl.
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"Take her to your world."
Akaya looked at Takumi.
She hoped he would take Yuma with him.
Takumi raised a brow.
"You're not taking her yourself?"
Akaya shook her head.
"Let her go with you."
She had no intention of keeping Yuma by her side.
"We'll talk once we're back."
"After you get settled, I'll send you to that other world."
"You can make sure she's settled too."
Hearing this, Akaya nodded in agreement.
That worked.
Once Yuma was settled, she could leave with peace of mind.
Yuma looked up at Takumi.
Was this her father?
Probably not.
She wanted to askbut didn't dare.
Meanwhile, Takumi finished copying every magical book in the castle.
He didn't miss a single one.
With that complete, he finally prepared to take both of them back to his world.
Chapter 330: Already Got Your Eyes on Her?
On the way back, Takumi couldn't help but ask Akaya:
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Natsuki Minamiya?"
Hearing the question, Akaya fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, she shook her head.
"No."
"I'll come back eventually."
Even though she was going to another world, she planned to return.
It wasn't a permanent departure.
No need for farewells.
It was only a temporary leave.
Seeing that, Takumi said no more.
He brought both of them through the world portal.
As they passed through, a vast land unfolded before their eyes.
Buildings were already constructed around the area.
Though many still weren't as tall as the portal itself.
The portal sat atop a high platform.
From there, one could clearly see the breathtaking view ahead.
Even the floating Avante in the sky.
Akaya was amazed by the scenery.
She had never seen anything like this.
But before she could fully enjoy it, Takumi led her away.
He took her to an ordinary home.
Seeing the surroundings, Akaya was momentarily confused.
Takumi rang the doorbell.
Then turned to Akaya and said:
"Let's have Yuma stay here."
"The people living here are friends of mine, and there are kids her age."
They were at Aoi Tohsaka's house.
Matou Sakura and Rin Tohsaka were both here,
And attending Takumi's elementary school.
Illyasviel as well.
If Yuma was staying, this was the ideal place.
After all, one more child wouldn't hurt.
It was Saturday, a day off.
Soon, the door opened.
Sakura stepped out.
Seeing Takumi, her eyes lit up.
"Takumi-nii!"
She was delighted.
She hadn't expected him to visit.
"Sakura, long time no see."
"Is your mom home?"
Seeing Sakura, Takumi greeted her.
Sakura quickly turned to call inside.
Aoi Tohsaka came out soon after.
Takumi explained the situation with Yuma.
He asked if she could stay temporarily.
Without hesitation, Aoi agreed.
No problem at all.
More playmates for her daughter was always welcome.
And so, it was settled.
With everything arranged, Takumi stored Akaya inside a space bracelet.
Then he left Sakura's home and returned to his own.
He entered the group chat and contacted Suoh Mikoto.
Takumi:
[@Suoh Mikoto, you there?]
The sudden message surprised the group.
Suoh soon responded.
He didn't understand why Takumi was reaching out.
Was Takumi planning to visit his world?
Suoh Mikoto:
[I'm here.]
Takumi:
[Suoh Mikoto's exclusive red envelope.]
[Someone wants to experience a world without magic.]
[Let her visit your world.]
He sent the space bracelet.
Suoh Mikoto was surprised by the message.
Experience a world without magic?
Chika Fujiwara:
[It's Akaya Sendougi, right?]
Only she would make such a request.
Takumi:
[Correct.]
[You all have immigrated, so I couldn't send her to your worlds.]
[Suoh's world is the only one left without magic.]
That was just how things were.
Chika Fujiwara:
[Oh ho, making deals behind our backs?]
Otherwise, Takumi wouldn't be so kind.
Kaguya Houraisan:
[You're eyeing someone's sister, aren't you, LSP?]
Himeko:
[Too much of a playboy is no good~!!]
Akeno:
[Ara~! Takumi-kun sure is surrounded by more and more women.]
Raiden Mei:
[Casanova!]
Asuna Yuuki:
[You really are a playboy, Takumi-kun!!]
Takumi:
[?]
[Don't slander me!!]
[There's nothing going on between us.]
[It's just a transactionI got LCO's magic books.]
[I fulfilled her one small request in return.]
[And I'm not a playboy, I just have a big heart!!]
[You guys know nothing!!]
This was slanderpure slander!
He didn't do anything!
Seeing Takumi's message, everyone looked at him with scorn.
Byakuya Gin:
[Well said!]
[That's not being a playboythat's universal love!!]
[Brother, I get you!!]
Byakuya was all for it.
He sympathized with Takumi.
Takumi only wanted to give those girls a warm home.
Suoh Mikoto:
[Got it.]
[I'll take care of her.]
After reading Takumi's message, Suoh didn't mind.
It wasn't a big deal.
She just wanted to visit his world.
Understood!
Takumi:
[Good. I'll leave her to you.]
[Just send her back when she's done.]
[Let her enjoy herself.]
[If she's not satisfied, toss her onto another planet!]
Other alien civilizations counted as worlds too.
Just without magic.
Thinking of a few alien civilizations he had discovered, Takumi laughed.
Or Lala's place would work too.
There were plenty of options.
No big deal.
After finishing his chat with Suoh Mikoto, Takumi closed the group.
With Akaya's situation handled,
