Takumi lay on the couch and opened his terminal, searching for a certain Miss Mayumi.
She and the others Takumi brought over should be familiar with this world by now. He sent her a message.
Soon after, Mayumi sent a video call invite. Takumi immediately accepted.
"Takumi-kun!" Mayumi greeted him excitedly upon seeing his face.
Noticing her background, Takumi asked curiously, "Are you outside? Doesn't look like your house."
Mayumi nodded. "Yes, I'm in the City of Hope. Just finished a school tour."
She was all smiles as she explained.
"Want to come over to my place?" Takumi offered, seeing that she seemed to be alone.
Mayumi's face lit up. "Sure!"
Without delay, Takumi opened a spatial portal directly in front of her. She ended the call and hurried through it.
Moments later, Mayumi appeared in Takumi's home.
"So, how is it? You've learned quite a bit about this world by now, haven't you?" Takumi asked with a warm smile.
Mayumi sat on the couch and answered with a happy expression. "Takumi-kun, your world is amazing. I'm really glad I came."
"Everyone who came with us has adapted to their new lives. Some are already finding work, and many plan to continue studying."
"Today, a bunch of us visited the school togetherbut I left early."
She had been amazed by the school in Takumi's world. She never expected a place that taught so many things.
Because of that, many people her age had decided to enroll there.
They had also received a bottle of superpower development serum. After using it, one would gain a special ability and a natural talent in a certain type of magic.
She had gained a light-based superpower. If she focused on learning light magic, she'd likely become very powerful.
That alone made her incredibly happy.
Chapter 463: Pretty Good Ability, Go Be an Angel Then
Takumi listened to Mayumi recount her experiences in his world and smiled.
"That's good to hear. Spend some time studying in the school first. Otherwise, your strength might not keep up. While things look peaceful here, some of the connected worlds aren't so safe. It's always better to be stronger."
Takumi looked at Mayumi with a grin.
Mayumi's expression grew serious.
"I understand. I asked Prometheus about it. Some of those connected worlds have many nations and a strong atmosphere of freedom. Magic has become quite widespread there, and people are even freer because of it."
When she said that, Mayumi's expression turned a little odd. Regardless of which world it was, wherever those people were, freedom was intense. Especially those who had mastered magicthey became like elite specialists.
Because of this, if you're not strong and you travel to those worlds, it's easy to get robbed. While no one dares stir trouble in Takumi's world, over there, chaos is a daily affair.
While chatting, Mayumi curiously looked around Takumi's house. It felt quite cozy.
After a moment's thought, she couldn't help but ask:
"Takumi-kun, do you live here alone?"
It didn't seem like there was anyone else at home.
"Not really. There are others too. They're just out right now."
Takumi glanced at Mayumi.
Was she trying to probe into his personal life?
Mayumi was momentarily stunned. After hesitating a bit, she continued:
"Girlfriends?"
Takumi nodded.
"Yep! Quite a few, actually."
He spoke without a hint of embarrassment.
Mayumi's expression instantly turned strange.
So confident?
"As expected Takumi, you really are a hopeless flirt."
She nearly let out a high-pitched scream.
Several? Seriously? How shameless!
"That's called being affectionate, not flirtatious~!"
Takumi didn't feel guilty at all.
Mayumi rolled her eyes.
Keep defending yourself, I'm just going to watch quietly.
They didn't continue that topic.
Takumi didn't try reading Mayumi's thoughts and had no idea what she was really thinking.
Instead, Mayumi began asking Takumi for advice on what magic she should study.
"I've browsed through a lot of magic catalogues here. There are too many options, and the system is completely different from what I knew. So I'm really confused about what I should register to learn."
She looked at Takumi with hopeful eyes.
Hoping he could give her a recommendation.
"Just reincarnate as an angel. Why bother studying anything? If you've got a light attribute talent, there's no better path than becoming an angel."
Magic study?
With light attribute talent, why even stay human?
Mayumi was stunned.
"Huh?"
Reincarnate as an angel?
Was that even an option?
She was completely bewildered.
But she didn't know how.
"How... do I do that?"
Mayumi hesitated.
Becoming an angel actually did sound pretty nice.
"Obviously, you need to find an angel. Let them take you to Heaven and get you reincarnated there."
Takumi had to explain.
It wasn't that complicatedjust a trip to Heaven.
Gabriel would probably be happy to take her in once she saw Mayumi's talent.
"But... I don't know any angels. I just got here."
Mayumi was a little troubled.
Where was she supposed to find an angel?
"You don't, but I do! Dummy. Come, I'll take you."
With that, Takumi stood up, ripped open a portal, and stepped through.
Mayumi was still confused, but quickly came to her senses.
Excited now.
She could meet an angel?
Let's go!
With that thought, Mayumi hurried after him.
The two stepped into the portal.
When they emerged again, they were in the highest layer of HeavenGabriel's residence.
Mayumi, feeling the energy of this place, was amazed.
Being here felt like coming home.
The light was so abundant. Her talent received immense boosts here.
So this was Heaven?
While Mayumi looked around curiously, a stunning woman with golden hair stepped out of the house.
It was Gabriel.
Speaking of which, Takumi hadn't seen her in a while.
What had Gabriel been up to recently?
Takumi wondered as he laid eyes on her.
Then he sensed it.
Gabriel now seemed like a divine existence.
"Hmm? Gabriel, what's going on with you?"
Takumi was a little surprised.
Was she already this powerful?
Mayumi was startled when she heard Takumi mention the name.
Gabriel?
The archangel?
In other worlds, Gabriel was also a famous name.
When Gabriel saw Takumi, her eyes lit up with joy.
She nearly rushed over to hug him, but stopped upon seeing the girl standing next to him.
She held back.
"Night~!"
Gabriel beamed at Takumi, her eyes filled with longing.
But because someone else was present, she kept her composure. A proper lady must not break character.
Otherwise, her angelic image would be ruined!
"I've gotten stronger lately," she said.
"The power bestowed by the Lord has fully merged within me. I'm practically a new Lord now."
After slaying a god and merging the power from the Lord she received upon arriving in this world, Gabriel had completed her transformation.
She had become a new divine entity.
Upon hearing this, Takumi understood.
"I see. Let me introduce someonethis is Mayumi. Let her reincarnate as an angel. She's got an excellent light attribute talent."
Understanding the situation, Takumi got to the point.
Gabriel's gaze shifted to Mayumi.
She hadn't looked too closely earlier, but now that she did, the talent was indeed remarkable.
She stared at Mayumi for a bit.
Where did Takumi find her?
Was it another world that fused in?
Mayumi, feeling Gabriel's gaze, grew a little nervous.
"Very impressive talent. Come be an angel, yes?"
Gabriel promptly extended the invitation.
Since Takumi had suggested it, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
In fact, she suspected this girl might be another of Takumi's girlfriends.
Maybe she was being introduced as a new sister?
She had her suspicions but still needed to ask whether Mayumi agreed to reincarnate.
Chapter 464: No Coordinates, Who Knows?
Currently, there were actually quite a lot of angels in Heaven. After merging with numerous worlds, Gabriel had instructed the angels to descend and search for suitable candidates. If they were willing, they would be brought back and allowed to reincarnate as angels.
Now, Heaven already had hundreds of thousands of angels. All of these were collected from various worlds. Just in terms of numbers, this already exceeded the number of angels Gabriel had back in the DXD world.
Bigger, better, aiming for glory once more. Gabriel figured that when the Lord returned, He'd be utterly shocked.
Mayumi had great potential. If she reincarnated as an angel, she could very well become a Ten-Winged Angel, or perhaps even a Twelve-Winged one. At the very least, she could reach Eight-Winged Angel level.
Upon hearing Gabriel's invitation, Mayumi perked up.
"Yes! I'm willing."
She came here with Takumi precisely to become an angel, so of course she wouldn't refuse.
"Alright. Please follow me. I'll take you to the Angel Rebirth Pool."
Gabriel didn't hesitate and immediately activated a teleportation magic circle, bringing Mayumi and Takumi along with her. The Angel Rebirth Pool wasn't located here.
The three vanished and soon reappeared in a region rich in light-elemental energy. Many angels were stationed here all female. Takumi was the only male allowed in this place.
In the center, there was a large pool. If Takumi peeked inside, he'd see that many people were already soaking within. They were wrapped in spheres of light as their bodies underwent transformation shedding their human form and becoming angels.
"Mayumi, go ahead and get in the pool. You'll likely need to soak for two or three days. Let your parents know so they don't worry."
Takumi, very familiar with this process, reminded Mayumi to inform her parents before entering the pool. Gabriel nodded in agreement it was definitely necessary.
"Okay!"
Mayumi didn't argue. She immediately took out her terminal and, after confirming it could send messages, asked Prometheus to notify her parents.
Once everything was settled, she looked at Takumi. Takumi gave her an encouraging nod.
"Go ahead. Angels inside will assist you."
With a final glance, Mayumi stepped forward and entered the pool. After she left, Gabriel winked at Takumi and teleported both of them back to her residence.
Inside the room, Gabriel immediately threw herself into Takumi's arms.
"Hehe~ I held back earlier because Mayumi was there. I missed you so much."
...
After entrusting Mayumi to the rebirth pool, Takumi and Gabriel no longer concerned themselves with it. With Gabriel now free, they wandered around for a while. Later that night, Takumi brought Gabriel back home, where she finally met Tomoyo.
Gabriel took an immediate liking to the gentle Tomoyo. If possible, she really hoped Tomoyo could become an angel too. No she already was one in essence. Though not of that race, her personality was angelic.
"By the way, Takumi, isn't akeno's world moving closer to ours? How far is it now? Hopefully it doesn't take forever to arrive, right?"
Upon seeing Gabriel, Kaguya suddenly recalled that the DXD world was approaching their own due to Great Red.
"No idea. There's no coordinate tracking who knows where it is?"
Faced with Tomoyo's curiosity, Takumi admitted he had no clue. He didn't have some kind of immoral navigation system how was he supposed to know?
"Emm... let's ask akeno. If they've stopped moving, it means they've arrived."
Fujiwara Chika chimed in and immediately sent a message in the group chat.
Fujiwara Chika: [@akeno, has your world stopped moving?]
Takumi also glanced at the chat. If the world had stopped, it meant he needed to go set up a teleportation gate. That world had followed him here it wasn't accessed via the World Gateway.
Besides DXD, the One Punch Man world was also approaching, along with the Blade Dance world. Fortunately, the One Punch Man world had a gateway, so that wasn't too concerning. He'd just need to expand the network.
But DXD and Blade Dance had no gateways Takumi would have to build the connections himself.
akeno: [I don't know!]
Seeing the message, akeno looked confused. How was she supposed to know such things? She hadn't been paying attention to the world's movement.
Takumi: [No! You do know.] [Your strength is already very high. Go check it.]
This girl probably still thought she was weak, relying on others to check everything. But akeno had been enhanced several times already she was now among the stronger individuals in her world.
akeno: [Wait a moment!]
Startled by Takumi's words, akeno quickly responded and began checking. Not long after, she sent an update:
akeno: [Still moving. So I guess we haven't arrived yet.]
She could feel it they were still in motion and hadn't reached their destination. Otherwise, the movement would've stopped.
Takumi didn't say much else. But listening to their conversation, Tomoyo grew curious.
"What were you all just talking about? World movement?"
She hadn't misheard, right?
Hearing her question, Takumi nodded.
"Yes. World movement. Other worlds are approaching mine and forming a World Bubble Settlement with it. Like your world it's also a gathering of many world bubbles. Your ability lets you send others to different world bubbles.
"Because it's across dimensions, sending people consumes a lot of energy."
Takumi explained to Tomoyo with a smile. After hearing this, she suddenly understood.
After a moment of reflection, she asked, a bit hesitantly:
"Then... can our world also move over here?"
Tomoyo looked at Takumi with anticipation.
She had spent a day in Takumi's world and was falling in love with it more and more especially the children in Hope City. Here, she was incredibly free and happy. If possible, she wished her world could migrate here so her people could enjoy such a world too.
That was the thought that crossed her mind. Could it really be done?
Takumi was stunned by her sudden question.
Chapter 465: How About Turning This Place into a New Little Garden?
Takumi never expected that Tomoyo would have such an idea.
She wanted to move her own world into Takumi's.
"You want to bring your world over here?"
Takumi looked at Tomoyo as he asked.
Hearing that, Tomoyo nodded.
"Yes! I want to move it here. After all, being close has its advantages. Besides, moving a world doesn't really affect anything, right?"
