"That's ridiculous!!"
Remilia was frustrated.
She didn't like this feeling at all.
But there was nothing she could do about it. Takumi did own the entire world, after all.
After uploading the gene serum data, Takumi gave instructions to Prometheus telling her to have the science institute start producing them.
Then he triggered a large-scale data push to all vampires.
Prometheus immediately acted on the command.
Remilia's terminal received the message too.
Seeing the notification, she was speechless.
"You're already the ruler of a world..." "Is doing stuff like this really okay?" "It just feels weird."
Remilia didn't even know how to criticize Takumi anymore.
He was like a mayor or a city governor, but he acted more like a merchant.
"What's wrong with it?" "Only a fool wouldn't make money when they can."
Takumi didn't mind at all. Might as well rake in some profits.
Remilia was completely speechless. Even Sakuya was a little surprised.
Only Yuu, who knew Takumi's shamelessness, wasn't fazed.
After arranging everything, Takumi turned to Yuu.
"Yuu, are you still comfortable living here?"
He asked with concern.
Yuu nodded.
"It's great. This world is very comfortable."
She liked Takumi's world very much. There weren't many worriesshe could peacefully live the life she wanted.
When she had free time, she would visit friends, drink tea, and chat. It was the perfect retirement life.
Seeing this, Takumi asked again:
"By the way, are you really not going to earn some points?" "Don't you want to strengthen yourself?"
Yuu hadn't done a single mission. That alone puzzled Takumi.
Could she really have no interest at all?
"No. I don't like doing missions." "Things are fine as they are." "I'm not forcing anything." "I'll leave the chances to others." "The points I've gotten from check-ins are enough." "I've already enhanced myself twice." "The third enhancement requires way too many points."
She never pushed herself too hard. She'd already undergone two enhancementsentirely from check-in points.
In fact, she hadn't spent any points on anything else.
All of it went toward enhancements.
The third one needed too much. So she was taking it slow.
But it was fineYuu had a long lifespan.
Eventually, she'd be able to strengthen herself again.
That's why Yuu never bothered with missions.
She had enough.
Takumi greatly admired her laid-back attitude.
Everyone else in the group was trying to grind for points.
But Yuu? Never chased it once.
From the very first mission to the most recent, she had always just quietly watched.
"Hey hey, by the way, does your organization still recruit?" "Can you bring us in?"
At that moment, Remilia suddenly looked at Takumi with anticipation.
She knew Takumi's group had a special organization.
Even that NEET princess was part of it. And got stronger because of it.
"Nope!" "Don't even think about it."
Takumi rejected her without hesitation.
Just forget it.
No one in the group was inviting others in anymore.
Seeing Takumi's immediate refusal, Remilia was disappointed.
"Alright then."
What a pity.
If only she could joinit'd be so great.
"Takumi-nii, let's go play!" "I want to go outside and explore."
After Remilia asked her question, Flandre chimed in.
Now that she had recovered, she really wanted to go out and have fun.
After coming to this world, she hadn't seen much yet.
Now that she was healthy, wasn't it the perfect time to go out and explore?
Chapter 395: Lolis Who Know You Are Everywhere
Flandre wanted to go out and play with Takumi.
Takumi didn't refuse her request and agreed immediately.
"Alright! Let's go out and have some fun."
"Remi, do you want to come too?"
Since Takumi had already planned to wander around anyway, having Flandre join him made it even better.
He also casually asked if Remilia wanted to come along.
But at that moment, Remilia seemed to go a little tsundere.
"No thanks! I only go out at night."
As a noble vampire, she wouldn't just go out during the day.
Even if she wasn't afraid of sunlight anymore, she still wouldn't casually roam around in broad daylight.
A vampire must have dignity.
Seeing Remilia flatly refuse, Takumi didn't press the matter.
Fine. If she wasn't coming, then he would just take Flandre.
"Alright then. Let's go, Flandre!"
With that, Takumi took her hand and opened a spatial rift, stepping through it with her.
As she watched them leave, Remilia felt a little envious.
She actually did want to go too, especially since it was with her sister.
But... she had to maintain her pride.
So in the end, she could only watch as Takumi took Flandre away.
Takumi brought Flandre straight to Liyue Harbor.
At this point, Liyue Harbor was more lively than ever.
Most people had already relocated here.
Seeing the thriving city, Takumi felt deeply interested.
Flandre, holding his hand, looked around with sparkling eyes.
This place seemed amazing.
The buildings were nothing like what she had seen before.
Even the clothes some people wore looked very strange to her.
"Takumi-nii, what city is this?"
Flandre had never been here before, so she was very curious.
For someone like her, these structures felt utterly foreign.
She was European, after all.
She had never seen such architecture.
Even in Gensokyo, buildings like this were extremely rare.
Most were Japanese-style.
And she had spent most of her life in a basement.
This was her first time seeing such traditional Chinese-style structures.
"This place is called Liyue." "It's a really great city." "Full of vitality. You should visit often." "It's not that far if you come with your sister."
Takumi smiled as he introduced the city to her.
Hearing this, Flandre's eyes lit up.
"Awesome! I'll bring my sister next time!"
This was a great idea.
Her sister probably hadn't seen much of the world either.
Takumi then led Flandre through the bustling streets.
When they reached the tea house where Keqing used to stay, Keqing wasn't there this time.
But Takumi didn't mind.
She was probably working overtime somewhere.
So he took Flandre to the snack street nearby.
There were many delicious-looking foods along the way.
They even ran into Xiangling.
She was in the Wanmin Restaurant, cooking alongside Guoba.
A long line had formed outside the door.
After arriving in this world, Xiangling had spent time as a gourmet hunter before returning and reopening Wanmin Restaurant.
Takumi scanned the open kitchen and noticed a few unexpected faces.
Besides Xiangling and Guoba, Tadokoro Megumi, Yoshino Yuki, and Sakaki Ryoko were also helping out.
Seeing them, Takumi was a little surprised.
When did they all become friends?
And they were working together so smoothly too.
"It smells amazing! Takumi-nii, I want to eat!"
Flandre was drooling from the mouthwatering aroma.
"Let's go. We'll eat inside."
Takumi nodded, then brought Flandre into the restaurant.
Before long, a young girl came to take their order.
Takumi glanced at her.
She was one of the cursed children.
After he had helped repair her genes, she began to grow healthily.
So the girl Takumi saw had grown up quite a bit.
Though he didn't know her name, he knew what her background was.
She, on the other hand, instantly recognized Takumi.
Her eyes lit up.
"Takumi-nii!!"
She never thought she'd see him here.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school? Why are you working here?"
Takumi looked at her, puzzled.
Was she working a part-time job?
Had she dropped out?
Takumi had expectations for those kids.
He paid for their education, so they shouldn't be short on money.
Facing his question, the girl giggled.
"I have the Raven Gene. I've already learned a lot of things, so I have plenty of free time." "I got bored, so I came out to find workand to learn more about cooking!" "Lots of us are doing the same."
She chirped away, explaining to Takumi.
Now he understood why she was here.
Chances are, several of the kids had wandered off to other worlds too.
These cursed children tended to be very intelligent.
After checking the database briefly, Takumi confirmed many had gone out exploring.
Most of them were highly mature for their age.
"Alright then. As long as you're learning."
Takumi patted her head reassuringly.
Then he and Flandre placed their order.
The girl wrote it down and ran off.
She went over to Xiangling and whispered something to her.
Xiangling looked over joyfully and waved at them.
Then she got busy in the kitchen.
Watching this, Takumi sighed.
Guess they'd be eating for free again today.
Soon, the girl brought them drinks.
"Takumi-nii, here's some juice first."
She poured him a glass while smiling brightly.
There was no tea.
Instead, she brought her favorite juice for him.
To her, serving Takumi meant giving him the best.
While pouring, she enthusiastically explained what fruits were used to make the juice.
Takumi didn't refuse the kind gesture.
They chatted a bit more before she ran off again to help.
The restaurant was still very busy.
After she left, Flandre looked curiously at Takumi.
"Takumi-nii, do you know her?"
She remembered seeing those kids before.
She even recognized a few of them.
Chapter 396: Not 500 Years OldShe's 5!
There were many such children in Takumi's City of Hope.
When Flandre and her sister went out to play,
people often mistook them for being part of that group.
They'd even been greeted a few times
and ended up meeting some of the other kids.
However, Flandre didn't know much about them.
"I don't really know them."
"There are just too many of those kids."
"Even though I brought them all back, I didn't memorize all their names."
"But they're really good kids."
"Flandre, you should be friends with them if you get the chance."
Hearing that, Flandre blinked.
"Is there something different about those kids?"
It was a bit funny coming from herafter all, she was a child too.
But Takumi knew she was already several centuries old,
so calling those girls children was perfectly accurate.
Takumi nodded, then gave a brief explanation about the cursed "040" children.
Upon hearing what they had been through,
Flandre frowned.
"But it's all in the past."
"They'll live happily here from now on."
Takumi smiled as he said this.
Those children were the first true residents of his world.
He had been looking after them ever since.
Though many of them had gone out to work,
othersespecially the infant-stage cursed childrenwere being cared for by a certain nun.
Some of them even worked to earn money to support their companions,
even though Takumi never demanded any payment from them.
They simply wanted to try.
For the cursed children, earning money wasn't all that hard,
especially those with high combat power.
Many became gourmet hunters.
Even Loki loved these kids,
seeing their huge potential and wanting them to join her Familia.
For example, Lan En, Yuan Zhu, and others had already joined Hestia's faction.
Now, Hestia's Familia had basically become a loli-only faction.
A loli goddess with a team of lolisperfectly fitting.
No one knew how she pulled it off,
but she had a great reputation among the cursed children.
Naturally, with such talent,
many gods with bad intentions had also taken an interest in them.
Some even tried to force the children into their Familias.
But before they could make a move,
Prometheus delivered swift punishment.
Because of that, even though many wanted the children,
no one dared make any reckless moves.
In Takumi's world,
even if he didn't act,
the ever-present AIs would be watching.
Want to commit a crime?
Before you make a move, a robot appears beside you.
Especially now that many of them had upgraded to mecha-android forms.
They were truly everywhere.
Crime committed one second,
arrest made the next.
They could even teleport to you on the spot.
Even gods were nothing herejust kids.
Takumi's mecha units could easily suppress them.
...
While Takumi and Flandre chatted,
their food was servedpersonally brought by Xiangling.
"Mr. Takumi!"
Seeing him, Xiangling greeted him happily.
"Xiangling, has your master arrived yet?"
Of course, the two of them knew each other.
She hadn't noticed him earlier; it was that young girl who tipped her off.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have delivered the dishes personally.
"Nope! Master hasn't come."
"It's just me and Yaoyao this time."
"Though Yaoyao stepped outshe should be back soon."
Xiangling shook her head.
Takumi nodded.
"I see. So Yaoyao came too, huh? That's nice."
That cute little girl would probably be back any minute.
"She went out with a kid from Mondstadt."
"Said they wanted to buy some materials to upgrade their dolls."
"Seriously, they've only been here a few days and they're already thinking about modifying their toys."
She couldn't help but complain.
After arriving in this world,
Yaoyao and Klee had been fascinated by everythingespecially the robots.
Seeing machines that could move and talk had their eyes sparkling.
Naturally, they wanted to try making their own.
They'd even spent days studying.
But honestly, it wasn't that simple.
If only it were that easy.
Takumi was stunned at the explanation.
"What adorable little girls."
He couldn't help but smile.
In the end, they probably wouldn't succeed.
After all, this wasn't something as simple as alchemy.
"And who's this young girl?"
After placing the dishes down,
Xiangling looked toward Flandre.
Was this Mr. Takumi's daughter?
Could it be he was already married?
She was curious.
"This is Flandre. A friend."
"Don't be fooled by how she looks. She's no ordinary little girl."
"She's actually hundreds of years old."
At this, Takumi chuckled.
Xiangling's eyes widened.
"Huh?! You're joking, right?"
Hundreds of years old?
She looks barely five!
"Takumi-nii!! Flandre is five, not hundreds of years old!!"
