He was very interested.
With no newcomers arriving, Takumi was growing bored.
So, he stayed home most of the time.
Until one week later another invitation finally bore fruit.
The moment Takumi received the news, his eyes lit up.
Prometheus immediately projected footage of the newcomer's location.
Staring at the white-haired figure on the screen, Takumi fell into deep thought.
Who was this?
She held a magical girl transformation wand?
Another magical girl?
But this one looked a bit silly adorably dense.
Who was she?
White hair, white stockings, ahoge... kind of dopey.
"Prometheus?"
"Have you identified her yet?"
"She looks so familiar, but I can't place her."
He voiced his confusion and left it to Prometheus.
"Identified: Iris Freyja."
"From Unlimited Fafnir."
Prometheus didn't disappoint.
She immediately shared Iris's identity and pulled up her profile.
After reading it, Takumi slapped his forehead.
"Oh, her.
"I only watched the beginning of that anime."
Seeing the info helped him recall.
He wasn't very familiar with the series.
He just remembered there were dragons.
And the world had to be saved by cute girls.
Still, the abilities in that world were interesting.
Takumi became intrigued.
He stared at the girl nervously glancing around, clearly afraid.
Then he vanished from his spot.
Iris was completely confused.
She couldn't understand how she'd ended up here.
None of it made sense.
Were dragons involved?
No, that couldn't be it.
There were no dragon reactions.
She scanned her surroundings. No dragons.
So why was she here?
"Hello~!"
"Cutie, are you lost?"
A cheerful female voice rang out.
A pink-haired girl appeared in front of her Elysia.
Takumi hadn't arrived yet, but Iris had already been noticed by the passing Elysia.
Seeing Elysia, Iris's eyes widened.
Such a beautiful person!
So graceful!
With just one look, she immediately adored this big sister.
And not long after Elysia appeared, Takumi also arrived.
But when he saw Elysia, he was utterly baffled.
Chapter 598: Who Is This Adorably Dumb Girl?
Takumi looked at Elysia with some surprise.
"Elysia?"
Hearing his voice, Elysia turned her head and smiled at him.
"Ah~! It's little Takumi!"
"What brings you here? Let me guess!"
"Could this adorable cutie be from another world?"
Elysia looked at Takumi, then shifted her gaze to Iris. Tilting her head slightly, she placed a finger on her lips in thought. A moment later, she seemed to understand the situation.
If Takumi had shown up here, that could only mean this cute girl was from another world. Otherwise, Takumi wouldn't come all the way to a place like this.
As for the possibility that Takumi had been stalking her?
No way. Elysia never doubted him like that.
"That's right~! She just arrived in our world."
"Miss Iris, welcome to the other world."
Takumi nodded and gave Elysia a thumbs up before turning to warmly welcome Iris.
"Another world?"
Iris froze in place.
She had just gone out for a meal, and somehow ended up in another world?
She was completely dumbfounded.
"Hehe~! Don't be scared~! Big sis is here."
"Little cutie, let Elysia-onee-chan give you a proper introduction to this world."
Seeing Iris dazed, Elysia immediately began chatting with a cheerful smile.
Takumi watched for a moment, then spoke up.
"Elysia."
Hearing her name, Elysia blinked curiously.
"I'm here! What is it?"
Was there something he needed help with?
"I'm leaving her in your care. I'm heading to her world. By tonight, I should be able to transfer it here. So in the meantime, familiarize her with our world."
Takumi handed the responsibility to Elysia.
He planned to head to Iris's world to begin transferring it over.
That world actually had quite a bit of potential. The powers they had antimatter manipulation, abilities similar to the Herrscher of Reason...
The dragons there were also embodiments of calamity, each with their own unique powers. It was an intriguing world, despite being from a rather mediocre anime.
Elysia's eyes sparkled when she heard that.
"Understood~! Leave it to me. I'll take good care of her!"
Taking care of Iris? Easy peasy.
She'd happily explain everything about this world to her.
Before Iris could even figure out what was going on, Takumi and Elysia had already sorted everything out.
Then Takumi vanished from sight.
He was already on his way to Iris's world.
Meanwhile, Elysia took Iris by the hand and began strolling around Takumi's world.
She had plenty of free time, and now that she had a cute new friend, she wanted to make the most of it.
"Iris, are you a magical girl?"
Faced with the question, Iris looked a bit embarrassed. She quickly stashed her wand away.
"N-No, I'm not!"
She wasn't some magical girl.
"No need to be shy~! Actually, our world has quite a few magical girls. Probably several billion?"
Seeing her reaction, Elysia instantly understood. She was just embarrassed.
After all, many people viewed magical girls as something overly childish or even cringeworthy.
But not Elysia.
"Huh? That many?"
Iris's eyes widened at the number.
This world had that many magical girls?
Shocking!
"Yup! Come on, let me show you around that country over there then you'll see."
With that, Elysia tugged Iris along toward Velier.
And Iris didn't resist.
She was curious now.
Going back? That could wait.
This world seemed pretty interesting.
...
At the same time, Takumi had arrived in Iris's original world.
This time, he didn't immediately package it up.
Instead, he entered directly.
Sensing the chaotic energy of this world, Takumi internally scoffed.
But the dragons they were impressive. Each one a manifestation of disaster, with powerful abilities.
Maybe he could add them to his contract beasts?
With that thought, Takumi's eyes lit up.
He already had a number of Honkai beasts under his command.
Though he rarely made them do anything.
Ophis, Great Red, and Little Kuro were all among them.
Now he could have these dragons serve under them.
With a plan in mind, Takumi immediately began capturing the dragons of that world.
One by one, the dragons began to disappear.
Naturally, this left the people of that world in utter confusion.
What was going on?
Where did all the dragons go?
No one had an answer.
Maybe they'd find out later.
After capturing all the dragons, Takumi also copied their powers.
Not only that thanks to his spiritual link, he gained the knowledge of this world as well.
Advanced technologies and data flowed into his mind.
Now that was a worthwhile harvest.
Feeling pleased, Takumi began the process of packaging up the world.
By the time he returned to his own world, it was already nighttime.
He installed the portals and called in Prometheus to take over management.
Once everything was set up, Takumi finally went home.
Back at his house, Elysia was already waiting with Iris.
Bronya and the others were there too.
Seeing him return, Elysia's eyes lit up.
"All done? You brought Iris's world over?"
"I checked earlier there are a lot of cute girls over there. I'm planning to visit soon!"
She was clearly excited.
After all, Elysia loved cute girls.
Snuggling up with adorable girls was the best!
Of course, Takumi was nice too.
If possible, she'd love to snuggle up with him as well.
But girls should be reserved.
So she kept those thoughts to herself.
After all, as a gorgeous beauty, Elysia couldn't act too forward right?
Chapter 599: Truly a Disgrace to Dragons
Takumi looked at Elysia, somewhat amused.
Why was Elysia more anxious than Iris, who was the one involved?
"It's all done." "If you want to go, you can head over tomorrow~." "No need to rush, right?"
Takumi smiled, then stepped into his house.
He still had many things to take care of.
This time, he began uploading the antimatter technology and other information he'd acquired to Prometheus's server.
Not only that, Takumi also needed to handle the dragons he brought back.
"Alright then~!" "I'll spend the night here at little Takumi's house." "Iris, you stay too." "We'll head over together tomorrow."
Having confirmed the plan with Takumi, Elysia was delighted.
She immediately decided to stay at his place.
After all, it wasn't her first time doing so it was no problem at all.
She also convinced the little lamb, Iris, to stay.
In this short time, Iris had already come to fully admire Elysia.
She idolized this new big sister.
Today, Elysia had taken her on a tour of Takumi's world.
She even showed her the neighboring realm.
And she saw many dragons.
That had truly terrified her.
In Iris's eyes, dragons were terrifying creatures.
The number of dragonkin she saw today was overwhelming.
But Elysia could easily defeat them.
That was truly amazing.
She'd heard it was all thanks to Takumi's help that Elysia was so strong.
Because of that, Iris now saw Takumi as a formidable person too.
Now that her own world had been relocated, she was eager to introduce Elysia to her classmates.
Having made their decision, Elysia and Iris spent the night at Takumi's place.
Meanwhile, Bronya approached Takumi to ask about his latest gains.
"What good stuff did you bring back this time?" "That world Iris came from should have had some valuable tech, right?"
Iris's world indeed had many treasures especially the kinds of tech that appeared in anime.
Bronya had her eyes on some of them, especially the antimatter weapons.
"Check it out later." "I'm uploading everything to the server right now."
Takumi smiled and got busy.
He began uploading all the data he acquired.
Upon hearing this, Bronya opened the database to start browsing.
As Takumi uploaded, Bronya read.
Various file names began appearing in the database.
Initially, Bronya wasn't too interested.
Many of the technologies were things Takumi already had mostly redundant data.
At best, it was just a different development path.
So she didn't focus much.
But as the uploads continued, something finally caught her eye.
The appearance of antimatter weapons immediately pulled her attention.
She quietly had Prometheus send her a full set of information.
Then she began her research.
Since she had the day off tomorrow, she could spend the entire day studying this new tech.
In fact, as Takumi uploaded, everyone with access privileges also saw the files.
Mobius saw the new data too.
She was immediately intrigued and focused on the documents.
Takumi's uploads were always valuable.
Every time he connected a new world, he brought back tech that inspired her.
Many people were both grateful and overwhelmed by his generosity.
After all, Takumi uploaded so much.
Filtering through it all for specific research material was a task in itself.
By the time Takumi finished uploading, it was already late at night.
He stretched and glanced at Bronya, who was still glued to the data.
Then he scooped her up.
Realizing she was suddenly being carried, Bronya was instantly annoyed.
She knocked on Takumi's chest and protested:
"Put me down. I'm still in the middle of research."
She was clearly displeased.
He was disturbing her.
Not happy!
"Don't worry. Keep doing your research." "I'll do mine."
At those words, Takumi's lips curled into a smirk.
He carried her upstairs.
Bronya rolled her eyes.
With that happening, who could focus on any research?
Forget it she'd continue tomorrow!
...
The next morning, Bronya was up early, diving right back into her research.
Elysia was also up and had already taken Iris out.
She was planning to introduce Iris to more cute girls from her world.
Takumi finished his breakfast and, without disturbing Bronya, vanished on the spot.
He headed for the neighboring realm.
Upon arrival, he went directly to Kujira's territory.
At that moment, Kujira had resumed her original dragon form and was sleeping in the void.
Takumi landed right on her.
That caused Kujira to open her eyes.
In the next moment, she reverted to her human form and stared at Takumi in displeasure.
No one had ever dared step on her.
Being woken like that irritated her.
"Yesterday I brought back a world filled with dragons." "I'm leaving these ones to you." "Train them well!" "Their potential is considerable."
Before Kujira could say anything, Takumi continued.
He summoned the dragons he captured yesterday.
As the dragons appeared, Kujira's eyes immediately lit up.
Sensing the aura coming from them, she was intrigued.
"Dragons born from rules themselves, huh?" "Not bad at all." "That world seems impressive!!"
She could feel the power emanating from them it piqued her interest.
Dragons born around fundamental rules were naturally full of potential.
Anything tied to 'rules' was inherently powerful.
"Yeah." "They're far better than the dragons from Fairy Tail."
Takumi was quite impressed with these dragons.
Fairy Tail had dragons too, but these were stronger.
As he spoke, he signed contracts with them.
Once everything was in place, Takumi continued:
"They're yours now." "Train them well!" "Great Dragon Trainer!"
As he spoke, he patted Kujira on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Kujira snorted and retorted:
"I'm not some Dragon Trainer!" "Call me the World Dragon!" "I'll take care of them." "I'll make them stronger." "It would be a waste not to fully develop this kind of potential."
These dragons had immense potential but poor current strength.
It was honestly a disgrace to dragons.
She, Kujira the World Dragon openly disapproved!
Chapter 600: What Kind of Crazy Mission Is This?
With Kuroe's help, Takumi was quite at ease.
After settling everything, Takumi slipped away.
Isn't it nice being the kind of guy who doesn't need to do everything himself?
Just as he returned home and was about to find Bronya to hang out, a notification popped up from the chat group.
But it wasn't about a new member joining.
Instead, it was... a mission?
When he received this mission, Takumi was a little surprised.
