After all, she didn't know many people here. It was good to make connections early.
Kanade was surprised by the introduction, but accepted.
Takumi had helped her so much. She was truly grateful.
Once everything was settled, Takumi sent Kanade to the Celestial Realm.
Just as Kanade left, Bronya and the others returned.
Seeing them suddenly appear, Takumi was a bit surprised.
"Mission complete?"
Bronya, Chika Fujiwara, Sagiri, Megumi Katou, and Saten Ruikothese five had gone out on a mission.
"Yes. I wiped out all the powerful spirit beasts that emerged from the spiritual energy revival. Then the mission was done. I also gave them some tech data so they can develop on their own. If you want to, just go and transport that world here. I couldn't figure out why spiritual energy revived there. You should investigate it yourself."
Bronya explained everything to Takumi.
Takumi nodded after listening.
"No rush. I plan to bring Kurumi's world over first. Hers is the last one left in the group. She's been pestering me about it for a while now..."
He sighed. Kurumi was eager to get her revenge on Mio Takamiya. She was just waiting for her world to be moved over so she could go after her.
"Alright, just handle it your way," Bronya said simply.
Takumi had his own plans.
"We're heading back now. Later!"
"Takumi-nii, I'm off! I'll drop by another time."
"See you, Takumi."
Fujiwara and the others waved goodbye. No point in sticking around like a third wheel.
After saying their goodbyes, they all headed out.
"I'm going to shower. I'm exhausted. Didn't get any real rest over there."
Bronya said and walked inside. She just wanted a proper break.
Takumi sighed and didn't say anything else. He opened the chat group to message Kurumi about moving her world.
But just as he entered the group, a new member joined.
['Wipe and You're Good' has joined the chat.]
Takumi stared at the username, stunned.
Who is this?
Fujiwara Chika: [We just got back and already there's a new member?] [Could this be a hidden reward for completing the mission?]
Sagiri: [Nonsense. Total coincidence!!]
Katou Megumi: [Welcome, newcomer.]
Saten Ruiko: [Welcome, newcomer.]
Miko Yotsuya: [Welcome, newcomer. This group is totally real, not fake.]
Tokisaki Kurumi: [Welcome, newcomer. I'm finally not the newest one!!]
Takumi: [@Tokisaki Kurumi, I was just about to contact you.]
Seeing Takumi's message, Kurumi's eyes lit up.
Contacting her?
Was it time to move her world?
That would be fantastic!
Tokisaki Kurumi: [I'm coming to your place right now!!]
Without hesitation, Kurumi logged off and hurried to Takumi's house.
Takumi didn't stop her and instead focused on the new member.
Wipe and You're Good: [?] [What is this?] [Chat group?]
She clearly looked confused by the group.
Did she just wake up?
Pulled an all-nighter and now there was this strange thing in her head.
Chapter 497: This Is Just Too Strange
The sudden appearance of the group chat left her completely bewildered.
"What the heck is this?"
After slowly sorting through the information in her mind, Gabriel was dumbfounded.
"Is this a cheat code?"
Once Gabriel had processed the information, she became rather intrigued. Without wasting time, she hurried to change her group nickname.
"What kind of name is 'Wipe It and It Works'?"
Gabriel couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Takumi: [Gabriel?] [My wife is named Gabriel!]
Just as she finished changing her name, she saw Takumi's message, which left her even more confused.
Gabriel: [????] [What is this nonsense?]
Chika Fujiwara: [It's Gabriel.] [Is she considered an alternate universe counterpart of Gabriel?] [I remember there's also Raphiel.]
Sagiri: [Simple and pure!]
Megumi Kato: [Vignette is the real angel.]
Everyone began to confirm the new member's identity and started chatting enthusiastically.
So it was this shameless one.
Gabriel: [????] [You guys are way too knowledgeable!] [What's even going on here?]
Gabriel was thoroughly confused.
Alternate universe counterparts?
Takumi: [Hold on a moment.]
Looking at Gabriel in the group, Takumi suddenly had a great idea. In the next instant, he disappeared from his house. When he reappeared, he had arrived in the celestial realm, right inside Gabriel's office.
Seeing Takumi appear so suddenly, Gabriel looked puzzled.
"Takumi?"
"What brings you here?"
"Is it about Kanade?"
"She's already enrolled in the angel academy, so there's nothing to worry about."
Gabriel assumed Takumi was here about Kanade.
But Takumi shook his head.
"It's not about Kanade."
"There's a Gabriel in the group chat."
Takumi's lips curled up into a faint smile.
Hearing the name, Gabriel froze.
"Gabriel?"
"The one whose halo keeps working if you just wipe it clean?"
Gabriel quickly understood who he was referring to. After all, she had been watching a lot of anime lately. She had, of course, seen Gabriel DropOut, especially since the main character shares her name.
She even remembered Raphiel a sadistic, scheming angel. Honestly, calling them angels felt more like calling them demons.
A hilarious world.
Now Takumi was saying that version of Gabriel had joined the group chat?
So it really was her.
She was instantly curious.
"You want me to do something?"
Since Takumi had made a special trip, it couldn't be a simple matter.
"I want to send you to her world."
"Also, help me set a mark there."
"Can you check out their version of Heaven while you're at it?"
Takumi's plan was to send Gabriel to the world of the other Gabriel. While she was there, she could mark the world so he could retrieve it later.
Hearing this, Gabriel's eyes sparkled.
"Sure!"
She agreed immediately. No objections it sounded fun.
"Alright, I'll send you now."
Takumi handed her his mark, then took out a dimensional bracelet and stored Gabriel inside.
Takumi: [Gabriel's exclusive red envelope.]
Without explaining further, he sent a red envelope to Gabriel in the group chat.
Gabriel received the red envelope and accepted it without thinking much.
A bracelet appeared in her hand.
Looking at it, she was confused.
Gabriel: [What's this?]
A bracelet?
Takumi: [It's good stuff. Inject your mental energy into it and open it.]
Takumi said this cheerfully.
Gabriel was a bit puzzled, but followed the instructions.
She infused it with her mental energy and activated it.
The next moment
A wave of holy light instantly filled Gabriel's entire room.
The sudden surge of holy light also triggered a response from Heaven in her world.
All the angels there were baffled.
"What's going on?"
"Such intense holy energy is the old man God back?"
Gabriel, meanwhile, was stunned.
"Whoa!!"
"So much holy light!!"
She felt like she was going blind.
Gradually, a powerful angel no, a majestic one appeared before Gabriel.
Radiating divine brilliance, the angel stood in stark contrast to the lazy Gabriel slumped on her tatami mat.
Nothing shows contrast better than this.
Even Gabriel herself was stunned.
"This... this is what a real angel should look like, right?"
Gabriel (the original one) had entered Gabriel (the anime one)'s room.
Her gaze landed on the disheveled girl.
"Hello."
"I'm Gabriel."
"From now on, I'll call you Lil' Gab."
She smiled gently at Gabriel.
Hearing this, Gabriel was even more confused.
"What the hell is going on?"
Why did a powerful angel suddenly appear?
And such an overpowering one at that.
Even stronger than her sister!
"You... you!!"
Gabriel stared at Gabriel in shock.
The real angel's smile only grew brighter.
"What an adorable reaction."
"Technically speaking, you are me, and I am you."
"But we're also different individuals."
"Takumi sent me here to check out this world."
"And to leave a mark."
As she said this, Gabriel took out the imprint Takumi had given her.
A stream of Honkai energy flowed into the void.
Just like that, Takumi's mark was imprinted on the world.
Now he could access it anytime.
Gabriel (anime) watched in complete shock.
Then, at that moment, another wave of holy light descended into the room.
It wasn't as overwhelming as Gabriel's appearance.
But to Gabriel, it was even scarier.
As the light arrived, she shivered and stood straight.
She quickly got up, changed clothes instantly, and, under Gabriel's astonished gaze, cleaned and donned her angel halo.
After all that, she stood respectfully to the side.
The new arrival was her elder sister Zelel.
Zelel's appearance scared Gabriel to death.
She was terrified of her big sister.
Zelel didn't even look at her foolish little sister.
Her eyes were fixed on Gabriel.
She'd never seen this angel before.
But Gabriel radiated a presence very similar to her sister.
It puzzled her.
It was almost like... this angel was also her sister Gabriel.
Just that thought alone was baffling.
Who was this angel?
She had power stronger than even God.
Yet somehow felt exactly like her sister Gabriel?
It was truly bizarre.
Chapter 498: Theres Not a Single Good Person in This Group
When Gaael was observing Gabriel, Gabriel was also quietly studying Gaael. Even she had to admit that Gaael was a powerful angel. If it were her world, Gaael would at least be a high-ranking archangel on par with Michaeland a combat angel at that.
"Who... are you?"
Gaael voiced the doubt in her heart.
"My name is Gabriel. Hello!"
When Gaael heard the name, she froze. That name... it was so similar to Gaael's sister Gabriel's. That alone made her suspicious.
"You could consider me a parallel world counterpart of Gabriel."
With those words, Gaael was stunned. She glanced at Gabriel, then at Gaael. Her expression quickly turned to disdain.
A counterpart from a parallel world?
How was that even possible? If that were true, wouldn't that make this Gabriel her older sister? But she quickly came to a realizationthis person was from another world!
Thinking of this, she said, "You're from another world? I see. Then Miss Gabriel, please come with me to Heaven."
Though she didn't know how Gabriel had arrived here, Gaael had orders to invite this angel to Heaven.
When Gabriel appeared, Heaven had already sensed the commotion, and Gaael had been instructed to bring her in.
"Alright."
Gabriel agreed without hesitation, which made Gaael sigh in relief. She shot a glare at her sister and motioned for Gabriel to follow her. The two vanished from the spot.
After they left, Gabriel slumped onto the couch.
"Damn it!!"
Damn that Takumi! Did he just set her up?
Gabriel felt like she was going to explode. She immediately jumped into the chat group to confront Takumi.
Gabriel: [@Takumi, you set me up!!] [Why would you send such a powerful angel over to me?!] [You got my sister's attention with that!!] [You bastard!]
At this moment, Gabriel truly felt the maliciousness of the world. She had never expected Takumi to trap her like this. She thought he was giving her some amazing gift. Instead, he sent over an angel? That was insane!
Takumi: [Is it possible your sister has always been watching you?] [You do know what kind of powers your sister has, right?]
Seeing Gabriel's complaints, Takumi sighed.
Didn't she know her sister had clairvoyance? She's been watching everything you do from the start.
Houraisan Kaguya: [I'm dying of laughter!]
Megumi Kato: [He didn't even trap you.]
Bronya: [I can confirm, it's true.]
Chika Fujiwara: [Same here.]
Sagiri: [Me too.]
Houraisan Kaguya: [@Gabriel, want to play a game? I've got a super fun one! Just check in and give me your points, and I'll send the game over.] [I bought these with my own points, but if you give me a third of yours, I'll give them all to you!]
Why did Kaguya pop up? Because a fellow game lover had joined the group! Now she could unload all those games she bought using her group points. What a win.
Takumi: [6!]
Chika Fujiwara: [Wait, you can do that?]
Sagiri: [Wow, that's crafty.]
Kaguya had been duped by Takumi when she joined. Now it looked like she was trying to pass the torch.
Gabriel: [?] [Points?] [Sounds important, huh?] [Let me check!]
Having been tricked once, Gabriel was on high alert. She didn't know anyone in the group, but she could already sense someone trying to scam her.
Since someone brought up points... did that mean they were valuable?
Seeing Gabriel unmoved, Kaguya sulked.
Zhongli: [She learned her lesson and is staying cautious.]
Zhongli couldn't help but chime in. Getting burned once by Takumi and then suspecting another trap? Understandable.
Gabriel: [There's definitely a trap!!] [Feels like there's no decent person in this group!!]
At this point, Gabriel understood it clearly. No one in this group was decent.
It was outrageous.
Everyone was ganging up on her, the newcomer. Absolutely disgraceful.
She was also quite perplexed. Why did everyone seem to know her so well?
And they even knew all about her world.
That alone was puzzling.
But after looking around the group a bit more, she found the answer and began to understand the value of points.
Looking at the items in the group's shop, Gabriel was shocked.
She even signed in.
After comparing things, she confirmed it.
Points were indeed precious.
That guy wanted to scam her points to buy games?
After checking the item prices in the group store, she realized just how valuable those points were. A top-end computer could be purchased with just a small number of points.
Compare that with real-world prices, and it was clear how rare they were.
While Gabriel was still browsing the group shop, Gaael had already taken Gabriel to Heaven.
Looking at the heavenly realm of this world, Gabriel was astonished.
It was far too peaceful.
The angels here seemed like delicate greenhouse flowers who had never fought a battle. Many of them were extremely gentle.
But once she thought about the nature of this world, it made sense.
It was, after all, a comedic world.
And the demons here were all kind-hearted too. Some of them even resembled angels more than the actual angels.
Even Satania had no real malice. She just liked playing pranks to earn a little pocket money.
