"Hehehe~!"
"Kii-chan, let me show you something amazing!"
With that, Fujiwara pulled out her terminal and displayed all sorts of information about Inori.
Seeing the contents, Inori's eyes widened.
And not just hersTsugumi and Ayase were equally shocked.
The three of them gathered around to watch what Fujiwara was showing.
As Chika and the others explained, they gradually understood everything.
Why these people seemed to know them already.
"Like an anime?!"
Tsugumi, a hardcore otaku, had her eyes wide open.
It was really like that?
Unbelievable!
Chika nodded firmly.
"Exactly like that!"
...
At the same time, Takumi had already found Kanade.
When she was transported into this world, Kanade was still confused.
She thought it was another prank by those people.
But in the blink of an eye, she found herself in a completely different place.
She had appeared directly on a busy street in the City of Hope.
As she looked at the bustling city, she felt lost.
She thought she might have returned to that world again.
Many passersby looked at her curiouslybut quickly lost interest.
Apparently, people suddenly appearing wasn't unusual here.
After all, Takumi's world had all kinds of people. Random teleports weren't even surprising anymore.
Just as Kanade stood there in confusion, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Hello, hello~!"
It was Takumi, of course.
He waved at the dazed Kanade standing by the roadside.
Hearing his voice, Kanade blinked and looked at him.
"Hi! Is there something you need?"
Though she didn't understand the situation, she still politely greeted him.
"Hello, Kanade!"
"Welcome to another world."
Just as he said that, a lively voice rang out.
"Takumi? A dead person?!"
Hearing that voice, Takumi froze for a second.
He turned to see Hu Tao running toward them, eyes fixed intently on Kanade.
...
What the hell!
Why was Hu Tao here too?
Kanade looked bewildered.
"Is she some kind of undead? But she doesn't feel like it."
"Can I perform a burial ritual on her?"
"Can I purify her?"
As she muttered, Hu Tao seemed ready to try something.
Takumi lightly knocked on her head in annoyance.
"Oww! What was that for?!"
"Why did you hit me?!"
Hu Tao pouted at him.
"Stop thinking about purifying everyone!!"
"Kanade's not for that."
"Go play somewhere else. I'm taking her with me."
"She just arrived in this world."
With that, Takumi vanished againthis time, taking Kanade with him.
Hu Tao looked annoyed.
Still, her curiosity grew.
Just arrived? What kind of being was she?
Maybe the underworld would gain another resident.
She looked human... and didn't have the aura of the undead.
More like a strong lingering will.
Hu Tao pondered to herself, then went back to her task.
She had come today to find Ningguang, after all.
...
"Excuse me, can you tell me what this place is?"
"And who are you? How do you know my name?"
Kanade looked at the new surroundings in amazement.
Staring at Takumi, she was full of questions.
"I'm Takumi."
"The master of this world."
"You're no longer in your original world."
"Come, there are others from different worlds here too."
"You can get to know them."
With that, Takumi led Kanade further inside.
Hearing that, Kanade was stunned.
People from other worlds?
Could this world really have so many of them?
Thinking that, she hurried to follow.
The two of them entered Takumi's home one after the other.
"Aaaahhh! Kanade!!"
As soon as Nyarlathotep saw Kanade, her ahoge turned into a heart.
She shoved Takumi aside and hugged Kanade tightly.
"Snuggle snuggle!!"
...
Kanade was completely confused as she was hugged.
She looked at this strange person, unsure what was happening.
She tried to push her offbut Nyarlathotep was holding her way too tightly.
"Nyarlathotep! You're hugging another woman?!"
A red-haired girl who saw this scene wasn't happy at all.
It was as if she had witnessed something horrifying.
She rushed over, pried Nyarlathotep away, and even started grabbing randomly.
Kanade was left speechless.
"Get off!!"
"Nyarlathotep, you can't hug other women! You're mine!"
"Let go of me!"
"Nyarlathotep, I love you!"
"Get lost! Take your filthy paws off!!"
"Hehehe~!!"
Kanade didn't need to do anything.
Nyarlathotep was forcibly dragged away by the red-haired girl.
They even started fighting.
Kanade stared at the chaotic scene, wide-eyed.
She felt like she had just seen something unholy.
"Ignore them. Come inside, I'll explain everything to you."
Takumi glanced at the two troublemakers, then couldn't be bothered.
He called Kanade to follow.
Kanade quickly nodded.
Yes, let's go. Let's just leave that mess behind.
...
Everyone else in the courtyard had seen Nyarlathotep charge up.
Now that Kanade had arrived, they all welcomed her.
Takumi had Kanade sit down.
Rem brought her a hot cup of tea.
"Thank you!"
Kanade quickly thanked her.
"Rem, please take care of dinner."
"Add more spicy dishes, and let's make Mapo Tofu."
Seeing her reaction, Takumi gave Rem some instructions.
Since Kanade was here, she had to be treated with proper hospitality.
When he mentioned Mapo Tofu, Kanade couldn't help but react emotionally.
Chapter 485: Let's Make Some Mapo Tofu!
Takumi seemed to know her very well. Not only did he know her name, but he also knew what food she liked. Moreover, many others also recognized her.
Keep in mindthis is another world.
All these facts made it clear that this wasn't a simple situation.
Tachibana Kanade took a sip of tea, then turned her gaze to Takumi.
"Can you tell me now? What's going on?"
Kanade looked a bit dazed. She wanted to figure out what was really happening. Why had she come to this world?
"You're already in another world," Takumi replied. "This is not your original world anymore. The reason you're here is because of that invitation letter. Do you remember receiving it? I was the one who sent it out."
As she listened to Takumi's explanation, Kanade froze.
"Invitation letter..."
She glanced at the invitation she had been holding in her hand since she arrived.
"This one?"
"That's the one," Takumi confirmed. "If you want to return, you can use it. But now that you're already here, why not stay a while? Also, I'm going to bring your world over to mine, so you might as well enjoy your time here. You can always go back whenever you want."
Hearing this, Kanade was dumbfounded.
Bring her world over? What kind of high-level maneuver was that?
She didn't really understand, but she was thoroughly shocked.
Seeing her confused expression, Takumi reached out and gently tapped her forehead. In the next moment, a wave of knowledge flooded into her mindabout Takumi's world and the process of transferring worlds.
Her mind was muddled from all the information crammed into it.
This was way too much. And yet, it was real.
"Do you understand now? If there's anything you don't get, feel free to ask," Takumi said with a smile.
Kanade shook her head. "I understand. I don't have any more questions. So... you really can move our world here? And everyone will be free to do as they wish?"
Their afterlife world was actually quite small. If they could go somewhere else, it would be a great thing.
She felt inspired by the idea.
"Of course!" Takumi grinned. "When I move your world here, you'll all become special lifeformsafter all, you're already dead."
As he spoke, Takumi glanced at Kanade. She was currently in a soul-state, but after arriving in his world, her body had already begun to transform. Honkai energy had started converting her powers, making her more like a living person.
Kanade nodded. She couldn't deny it. They were all dead. And their world was small.
If their world could be brought here... that would be wonderful.
"Hello, Kanade~! I'm Fujiwara Chika, nice to meet you!"
Just then, Fujiwara Chika came over to greet her. Kanade responded with a polite nod.
"Hello."
She now understood why everyone already knew her. One after another, others came over to introduce themselves. Soon, they were chatting like old friends.
Watching the scene, Takumi couldn't help but feel a little exasperated.
These people really knew how to cause a commotion.
He shook his head and looked over toward Yuzuriha Inori.
Inori had already learned about this world. When she saw Takumi looking her way, she stepped forward.
"Takumi... can I ask, where can we heal Ayase's legs? I want to get her treatment."
After understanding the technology of this world, the first thing she thought of was healing Ayase.
Could they still go to that lab from before?
That kind of place was likely very strict. If no one led them there, they probably couldn't enter.
That's why she wanted to ask Takumi.
"That's easy," Takumi replied casually.
He beckoned Ayase forward.
Ayase was a bit stunned, but Tsugumi excitedly pushed her forward.
As she approached, Takumi didn't say much and directly began the treatment.
Healing her legs was a piece of cake.
He activated a small amount of his power, and Ayase was healed.
A warm sensation spread through her legs, and she slowly began to feel something she hadn't in a long time.
Realizing this, Ayase became overwhelmed with emotion.
"Thank you!!"
She was so touched that she began to cry.
She had waited for this day for so long.
"Try standing up," Takumi suggested.
Seeing her tears, he understood how she felt. Sitting in a wheelchair all this time and relying on others was difficult for anyone.
Now that she had recovered, it was natural to be emotional.
Ayase nodded.
She shakily held onto her wheelchair and began to stand.
Surprisingly, the expected weakness never came. Instead, her legs felt full of strength.
She had thought that even if she recovered, it would be hard to stand.
But the reality exceeded expectations.
She froze for a moment.
Then, she stood up.
She lifted her long legs and was wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Completely healed? Not even a little discomfort?"
After checking herself, Ayase was stunned.
This was unreal.
"Who do you think I am?" Takumi said with a smirk. "If I'm healing someone, of course it's done in one go. You didn't think I'd make you do physical therapy or rehab training, right? That's unnecessary!"
Takumi's tone was slightly annoyed. It was only natural that his healing would be efficient and convenient.
Once healed, she could move like any normal person.
To him, this was just a small taskno need to make a fuss.
Ayase was overjoyed.
"Thank you!! Thank you so much!!"
She was truly, genuinely moved.
"That's wonderful, Ayase!! You're finally healed!"
Tsugumi, who had always accompanied her, was equally excited.
Seeing her stand again made her truly happy.
Chapter 486: As Expected, You Should Just Become an Angel
A group of people had just arrived in Takumi's world and were already met with an enormous surprise. It was something they never could have imagined.
After healing Ayase's legs, Takumi handed them their respective terminals and helped register their identities. From now on, they were officially residents of his world. Since they were here, there was no reason to leave. Better to stay obediently.
When she received her terminal, Tsugumi was extremely curious. The functionality was impressively powerful, and it even included an AI. She was thoroughly amazed. She instantly became fond of the devicethere was so much she could do with it.
However, after playing around for a bit, she grew frustrated. She couldn't understand the network of this world at all. The foundational code made no sense to her, leaving her completely baffled. Perhaps it was due to the fundamental differences between the two worlds.
She immediately began searching the local network for electronic books on the subject. Tsugumi was incredibly gifted in hacking, and with her keen intellect, she gradually began to comprehend the logic behind this world's network after just over an hour. It was completely different from what she knew, heavily reliant on quantum principles. It truly broadened her horizons. However, mastering it entirely would definitely take a long time.
"If you're interested, you can study this at one of our schools," Megumi Kato said as she noticed Tsugumi engrossed in reading electronic knowledge. "We teach that kind of thing here."
Hearing this, Tsugumi nodded enthusiastically. "Alright! I'll definitely go!"
In front of the knowledge of this world, everything she previously knew seemed like beginner-level understanding. Regardless, she was determined to deeply understand the vast knowledge this world had to offer. After all, she was of school ageno time for games when there was so much to learn.
"Besides," Megumi continued, "you can also receive a dose of superpower serum. Anyone with a terminal can apply for one. It's free if you're settling here. Otherwise, it costs 3,000 credits."
"Eh? Superpower serum? You can get it for free?" Tsugumi was aware that this world had superpowers, but she hadn't expected it would be so easy to obtain.
"Of course. It's not even considered valuable around here. Everyone's taken it. After using it, you'll awaken a superpoweror rather, a unique talent. It'll help enhance your learning later on. You'll just have to see what ability you awaken. If it's elemental, you can study elemental magic at the Magic Academy. If it's something else, you can choose a corresponding course. Superpowers are incredibly diverse."
It was rare for Megumi to speak at such length, but Tsugumi's eyes sparkled with interest. So that's how it worked? She definitely wanted to explore this more.
As for returning to her original world, there was no need anymore. Funeral Parlor was disbanded on the spot. The Apocalypse Virus was completely eradicated, so their organization no longer had a purpose. All members would transfer here to study. The doors to a new world had openedwho would cling to the past?
Takumi had left behind many Mechanoidsenough to maintain peace in the original world. Only now did they truly understand how powerful Mechanoids were. Any one of Takumi's Mechanoids could easily destroy a planet. If any blind fool dared attack, they'd face annihilation.
