This lazy fox would probably gain ten pounds!
Takumi grumbled inwardly but didn't bother to approach her. Instead, he went to a vacant area on the island and began constructing another portal.
As Takumi got to work, people nearby noticed. Seeing the massive portal suddenly appear, they were stunned.
Kamisato Ayaka happened to be nearby, along with Yoimiya. When they noticed the commotion, they rushed over.
Upon seeing the newly created portal, both were dumbfounded.
"Is that... a teleportation gate?"
This familiar-looking portal was clearly a world gatewayone that could transport people between worlds. And now someone had built one in Inazuma?
Did that mean a new world was being linked through Inazuma?
Ayaka was momentarily speechless.
After finishing the gate, Takumi noticed her and Yoimiya. His eyes lit up, and he waved them over.
Although neither Ayaka nor Yoimiya knew Takumi personally, it was obvious that someone who could build such a portal had to be the famous Mr. Takumi.
Thinking that, they approached quickly.
"Mr. Takumi?" Ayaka asked uncertainly.
"Hello, Miss Kamisato. Looks like you know me, which makes things easier. Tell your overly busy brother that a new world is being linked here. That world's style is quite similar to Inazuma's, so please take good care of it."
Takumi greeted Ayaka with a smile. She blinked.
"A world similar to Inazuma? Understood. I'll inform my brother right away."
With that, Ayaka used her terminal to send her brother a message.
Meanwhile, Yoimiya couldn't help but lean in.
"Is the portal ready? Can we go through it now?"
She was visibly excited, curious about what the new world would be like.
"It's all done. If you want to go, feel free. The area is already guarded by many mechanical units, so there's no danger."
Hearing this, Yoimiya grew even more eager.
"Really? The other country won't mind?"
After all, technically she would be entering without permission. Since arriving in Takumi's world, she had already visited other realms and learned a lot.
"Of course it's fine. Their princess is already there. So just go ahead. You might even be the first person to step into that world."
Takumi chuckled as he spoke.
That did itYoimiya's excitement peaked.
"Alright! Then I'm going! Ayaka, I'll see you later! You take care!"
With that, she ran straight toward the portal.
Ayaka was momentarily stunned, but said nothing. She had already informed her brother, who would be arriving soon.
"Mr. Takumi, I've notified my brother. He'll be here shortly."
She relayed the message to Takumi.
"No problem. Let him handle things here. He can go meet with Tomoyo's ministers and coordinate. You all can work together. As for me, I'll be heading out."
Takumi had no plans to linger. Since Yoimiya had already crossed over, it meant Tomoyo knew the portal was active. She would handle everything else.
Tomoyo probably didn't have time to come over either. So Takumi decided to leave and return later when she was free.
Hearing that, Ayaka pursed her lips and nodded.
"Alright, Mr. Takumi. I'll explain everything to my brother."
Looking at the shy and bashful Ayaka before him, Takumi couldn't help but be amused. After all, encountering such an adorable little turtle was a rare sight.
Chapter 475: I Dont Want to Stay in This World for Another Second
Takumi understood Kamisato Ayaka's reactionit was simply because his identity made her nervous. That's why she was acting like this.
"No need to be nervous, Miss Ayaka. Add me as a friend. If you ever need anything, just reach out. I'm actually a very easygoing person."
As he spoke, Takumi didn't wait for her reply. He had Prometheus add her as a friend directly. Ayaka blinked in surprise at the sudden friend request confirmation.
Before she could say anything, Takumi continued, "Alright, I'm heading off. Next time, I'll take you to some other worlds that aren't yet connected to ours. See you!"
With those words, Takumi vanished, leaving Ayaka standing there in the wind, slightly bewildered. But she soon collected herself. Flipping her hair back, a smile crept onto her face.
So the supreme creator of worlds was actually quite approachable.
That thought made Ayaka feel warm inside. Seeing Takumi now listed in her friends, she felt quietly happy.
Her happiness didn't last long, however, as Kamisato Ayato soon arrived. Ayaka quickly told him everything that had happened.
After hearing her account, Ayato sighed.
"This really does add more complications for us... but it's not all bad."
Having a gateway to another world in Inazuma brought tremendous benefits. Looking at the other connected worlds, it was clear: trade and tourism were thriving.
This was business.
Now with a new portal set up in Inazuma, the advantages were enormous. Ayato immediately began contacting others to prepare for negotiations.
Since the princess of the other world was just across the gate, they could directly settle things.
At the same time, Ayato couldn't help but wonder if there was something between Takumi and that princess. That possibility needed to be factored into the talks.
With that in mind, Ayato busied himself, dragging Ayaka into the matter as well.
Meanwhile, back in Tomoyo's world, everyone knew things were in motion when Yoimiya came running through. Tomoyo welcomed her and chatted for a while.
After learning about the other side, Tomoyo felt more assured. She was familiar with Inazuma. Although she hadn't visited, its structure was similar to her own nation.
Takumi's arrangement made sense. Her appreciation for him grew.
...
Back home, Takumi found the house empty. He immediately jumped into the group chat:
Takumi: [All set.] [Next, I'm going to move the Toaru Majutsu no Index world.] [Tomoyo's world is settled!]
He would start by moving Index's world, then gradually handle the others.
Once all the group members' worlds were transported, it would be time to lure the Honkai Impact world over.
That would simplify things greatly. Little Garden would be handled lastthat was Takumi's original plan.
If anything unexpected came up, he'd deal with it first and postpone other tasks.
Saten Ruiko: [Hurry up and come!]
Upon seeing Takumi's message, Saten Ruiko immediately popped up.
She had finally waited long enough. She couldn't stand her world for even one more second.
If possible, she'd take all her relatives and friends and emigrate.
But that wasn't possible yet. Once the worlds were merged, she wouldn't need to worry. Those who wanted to move could move; those who didn't, fine. She could just visit.
There would be no big problems.
Shiroyasha: [How about moving Little Garden first?]
Even Shiroyasha was getting restless.
Come on, good brother, move Little Garden first.
Izayoi: [We're making a run for it!] [@Takumi, save a spot for me. I'm packing up and taking everyone out now.] [Once they're safe, I'll help you empty Little Garden.]
Izayoi had also seen Takumi's message and was ready to flee. He'd evacuate his community first and stir up trouble later.
With no burdens, he could go wild.
Reading these messages, Takumi couldn't help but chuckle.
Takumi: [@Saten Ruiko, no rush. Take your time. You're not going to miss it.] [@Shiroyasha, no way. Little Garden is last.] [@Izayoi, if you want to come over, just have Shiroyasha pack and send you all here. There's plenty of space.]
[If needed, I can even give you a whole planet.]
Shiroyasha was in a rush, but Takumi wasn't. This could all be done slowly.
As for Ruiko, she'd get her turn in a few days. Izayoi wanting land was no problem.
Takumi had it easyhe could literally gift a planet if needed.
His people had already conquered the Milky Way and were now moving toward other galaxies.
Kosmos was still fighting in space.
And Esdeath too.
Though Takumi hadn't been paying much attention to her, Esdeath had conquered a fair bit herself.
They'd split into two forces, aggressively expanding.
Sometimes Takumi's forces would even detect fierce battles in space.
And then black holes would appear, swallowing planets.
Chances were, that was Esdeath's doing.
All their ships were equipped with space cannons. Creating black holes was child's play.
Saten Ruiko: [I really can't stand this crappy world another moment! Hurry up!!!]
Shiroyasha: [Alright then, I'll come hide out with you for a while. Izayoi, if you're coming too, don't dawdle.]
[Oh right, Takumiwant to send Argol back? Let her deal with Athena.]
[Buff her up a bit, then have her fight Athena.]
[Give her a few of your Authorities, let her earn some Human Final Trial spirits.]
Shiroyasha was getting more and more excited.
Little Garden was a mess. She planned to lay low for now.
Let the others make noise if they wanted.
She also figured Takumi could send Argol back for revenge. The Greek gods had been especially arrogant lately.
He could stuff Argol with a few Honkai Cores and send her back. She might be able to earn some spiritual qualifications.
After all, Argol was now under contract with Takumihis subordinate.
And Takumi had already earned the Human Final Trial spirit.
Which meant Argol had a shot at getting one too.
Chapter 476: Go Reap Some Benefits from Little Garden First
Little Garden was going to be rebuilt anyway, so why not take the opportunity to reap some benefits?
If it weren't for the fact that sneaking in couldn't earn them spirit ranks,shiroyaksha would have already told everyone in the group to sneak over. But then again, wouldn't it still be worth it to spend a thousand points to travel there? Just ask Takumi to tweak things a bit. Either way, there'd be some rewards to collect.
With that in mind, shiroyaksha simply @-mentioned everyone.
shiroyaksha: @Everyone, wanna come reap some benefits in Little Garden? Use a thousand points to cross over and see if you can snag a spirit rank. With the missions everyone has completed before, or with Takumi lending you a Honkai core, there should be some perks to gain. This thousand-point investment is totally worth it.
shiroyaksha excitedly shouted in the group.
Seeing her message, Takumi was speechless. But honestly, her idea wasn't bad.
If the group members went to Little Garden properly, and considering how everyone had once helped with saving their respective worlds, they counted as contributors. If they really went over, there was a decent chance they'd gain quite a bit. At the very least, their strength would definitely increase.
Fujiwara Chika: I'm tempted!! Sagiri: Me too!! Bronya: I'm in!! Sima Mio: I'll go too!!
Following shiroyaksha's call, the whole group came out. No doubt, it was a great suggestion. Everyone was excited. It really was a good chance to grab some rewards.
Takumi: If you want to go, just go. Worst case, treat it like a trip. It's only a thousand points.
Since everyone was interested, might as well let them go. Everyone probably had at least that many points by now. Buy a ticket and go check it out. Even if you gain nothing, at least it'll be fun.
Seeing Takumi's go-ahead, everyone was even more motivated. The group quickly became lively. One by one, they began buying warp tokens and jumping over.
Takumi didn't bother to interfere. He was planning to go to Little Garden soon anyway. He'd probably end up replicating Little Garden's core system.
Speaking of Little GardenKokuu had no plans to return there, did she? She'd already gone to settle down with Ophis and the others in the dimensional rift. Takumi sighed to himself and didn't dwell on it. He closed the chat.
Then, Takumi lay down at home.
"Prometheus, has anyone else arrived from the invitations we sent?"
Tomoyo had been the first to arrive, but what about the remaining 19 invitations?
"None yet. If anyone does show up, I'll notify you."
Hearing this, Takumi just shrugged. Nothing else to say.
Alright then, kind of boring now.
"What about Kana? Where'd she go?"
Takumi started asking about something else. After all, there was still a guest living in his house. But now he didn't even know where she'd gone.
Why did everyone who came to live at Takumi's house end up leaving eventually?
Algol had already run off. Then there was Agulora and the otherssaid they needed to attend school and moved out. Now they lived near Sagiri instead.
And Kana?
"Miss Kana is currently visiting Miss Elysia, along with Miss Ram and others."
Prometheus reported their location.
Upon hearing Elysia's name, Takumi was stunned.
"When did they even meet?"
What happened?
How did Kana end up knowing that pink-haired girl?
"It was through Miss Emilia. Elysia said she wanted to meet a cute girl with a very similar name."
...
Emilia. Elysia. Just one character different. No wonder.
Hearing Prometheus's explanation, Takumi sank into thought.
Was that girl going to corrupt Kana?
The moment he thought of this, Takumi couldn't sit still.
"Are they at Eden's house?"
Elysia's house? That was just Eden's house! She didn't really have her own place. Takumi did arrange housing for her, but she never lived there. She usually stayed at Eden's place.
"Yes. They're currently at the Golden Garden."
The Golden GardenEden's seaside mansion. Takumi had never been there but had heard of it.
With that confirmed, Takumi immediately opened a portal and jumped over.
When he arrived at the private beachfront, he immediately paused.
Seriously? This was what he walked in on?
Talk about perfect timing...
At that moment, Elysia and the others were playing at the beach. All wearing swimsuits...
The moment Takumi arrived, Elysia immediately noticed him.
"Ah~! A bad man has arrived!!"
Seeing it was Takumi, Elysia teased him right away.
This seaside estate that Eden had purchased didn't allow outsiders. Only girls were permitted entry.
Any men who entered would be driven off by robots. Those robots were specially made by Velvette.
Only Takumi could stroll in casually.
"Lord Takumi." "Takumi." "Takumi!!"
Ram, Rem, Emilia, and Kana all greeted Takumi one after another.
Eden also stood up and brought over a bottle of fruit wine.
"What brings you here today?"
She handed the bottle to Takumi.
Takumi glanced at Elysia, then replied, "I was worried you'd corrupt Kana. So I came to check."
Time? What time? He always had time.
"Nonsense! How could I possibly corrupt the pure Kana?!"
