"I adjusted the time flow for them."
"They're training on their own."
Hearing this, Miori Shiba was speechless.
"Good job!!"
"You're letting them study by themselves."
"Is that really helping?"
She thought Takumi would be actively training them.
But in the end, he just let them train alone?
She didn't know how to respond. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Of course."
"Adjusting the time flow for them is also support."
"After all, no one else has received this kind of treatment."
"Besides, I've given them detailed follow-up training plans."
"We've helped those who needed it."
Hearing this, Miori Shiba had nothing more to say.
Yes, that was enough.
What they lacked was time for training.
After all, they were all homebodies, or just too busy.
Now that they had time, it was already quite good.
"How do you feel?"
"After absorbing that energy, you must be stronger."
Takumi looked at Miori Shiba.
As soon as she returned, Takumi could feel her aura.
She had grown much stronger.
Likewise, she had reached her limit.
"Yeah."
"Much stronger."
"That energy was like a nutrient."
"Really amazing."
"But if I want to go further, I have to wait for you to become stronger."
"Now, the energy is at its limit."
She was now a Herrscher.
The Herrscher of Wind.
Everything was closely tied to Takumi.
Now that she had reached the top, she could only get stronger if Takumi did.
If Takumi didn't break through, she couldn't either.
Others were the same.
As long as they were Herrschers, this was the situation.
"Ugh!"
"What a headache."
"Now everyone's strength is tied to me."
"If I don't break through, no one can."
Takumi couldn't help but complain.
This was really tough.
"Well!"
"It can't be helped."
"Many people wish for this kind of strength but can't get it."
Miori Shiba didn't mind.
She would've never dreamed of having this much power before.
But now?
Look at her now.
Who would've thought this was possible before?
So even if she couldn't get stronger, she didn't mind.
It was already enough.
Not long after Miori Shiba returned, the others came back as well.
Everyone wore bright smiles.
Everyone was satisfied. They had gotten stronger quickly.
It felt great.
When they got home, they chatted nonstop.
Fujiwara Chika saw Takumi and was shocked.
"Where's Sagiri? Where did you leave her?"
My goodness, why was Takumi at home?
Didn't he say he was going to help Sagiri and the others?
Why was he still here?
"They're getting stronger."
"You'll see tonight."
Takumi glanced at her.
There was no need to worry.
Was he breaking the law just by staying home?
Everyone started talking about it.
Takumi was speechless.
Once they understood the situation, they didn't know what to say.
Just like Miori Shiba,
Fujiwara Chika and the others thought Takumi was going to give them direct cheats.
But instead, he made them train themselves.
That's so Takumi.
Still, they had nothing to complain about.
When Takumi checked on them during his free time,
he could tellit was hard for them to stay focused on training.
Ch. 987 Side-Effects Too Severe
How many people concentrate on practicing?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Alice and Kenzaki were easier to deal with.
But Sagiri? Not possible at all.
The flow of time had already been adjusted by Takumi.
At the same time, he had subtly influenced them.
He hinted that they should concentrate on training.
Otherwise, they would've gotten bored.
Maybe Sagiri would've already taken out her pen and paper to start drawing again.
After all, Eromanga-sensei was totally capable of doing that.
It wasn't until dinner that Takumi released the three of them.
Inside, they had focused on training for nearly a year, tirelessly honing their abilities.
They were from Penglai, so they weren't afraid of death.
When they returned, they were dazed.
Recalling their experience, they were horrified.
"Brother Takumi!!"
"What did you do to me?!"
"Why was I so focused?!"
Sagiri didn't understand.
Takumi must have done something.
Otherwise, she would've never been that diligent.
Sagiri was dumbfounded.
That state of complete focus terrified her.
If possible, she never wanted to experience it again.
Who would understand how it felt?
To focus so intensely on one thing
To completely lose track of time
To dive into the knowledge implanted in her mind
Time passed unknowingly.
When they snapped out of it, they were shocked.
"I added a little something to help you concentrate."
"Otherwise, how would you be able to train properly?"
"Look at yourselves."
"If you had been this diligent earlier, we wouldn't have needed this."
"It's only been a year, and your strength has already skyrocketed."
Their laziness had caught up to them.
If they'd been hardworking from the start, they wouldn't have needed drastic measures.
Hearing Takumi say this, everyone was left speechless.
"I never want to do that again"
Sagiri looked miserable.
She was traumatized.
Even though it had been effective, she didn't want to go through it again.
Alice, however, was unbothered.
"That was like when I focus on cooking."
"This time, I made up for all the time I wasted."
"But I'm on the gourmet cell path."
"If I eat something good, I'll get stronger."
"So I should be able to absorb that energy now, right?"
Unlike Sagiri, Alice still needed energy replenishment.
Hearing that, Takumi poured a stream of Honkai energy into her.
"Wait!!"
"Hey!"
"Tootoo much!"
"Just a little bit would've been enough!"
Alice was stunned.
Her body was overloaded.
Takumi gave her the full dose at once.
"Done."
Alice was frozen in place.
She instinctively clutched her stomach and glared at Takumi.
"A warning would've been nice, you know."
That sudden surge had caught her off guard.
It was too much.
"Your power is now on par with Aki and the others."
"If Aki can absorb it, so can you."
"So go."
Takumi opened a space portal.
Hearing that, Alice snorted.
She was still salty about what had just happened.
Takumi really had no chill!
She turned and left without another word.
"I'm going too!"
Kenzaki quickly followed her.
Sagiri rushed after them.
"Wait for me!!"
The three left Takumi together.
When they reached the portal, Sagiri called back:
"Leave some food for us!"
"We're coming back for dinner!"
They hadn't eaten in what felt like forever.
It was Takumi's fault.
She'd forgotten what food even tasted like.
So, no matter what, she was coming back for a feast.
"Go ahead."
"I'll save you some."
Takumi waved.
They had nothing to worry about.
Sagiri nodded and jumped into the portal.
When they returned, they were stronger.
By this point, everyone in the group had powered up.
They had all hit a bottleneck.
To get stronger, they would either need help from the chat group or wait for Takumi to advance and pull them up with him.
But through the chat group, it would be difficult.
All the points in the group now belonged to Takumi.
Once he finished strengthening, everyone else could consider their turn.
Now, all the points were being funneled into Takumi's upgrade.
This was how to maximize benefits.
If everyone powered up individually, only they would get stronger.
But if Takumi powered up, the entire group would benefit.
Everyone understood that clearly.
They were all tied to Takumi's world.
Ever since they were tricked by him, their fates had been linked.
The stronger Takumi became, the more benefits they would receive.
Back with Takumi, Sagiri, Alice, and the others rushed to the dining table.
They were starving.
Or more accurately, greedy.
They hadn't eaten in ages.
Seeing how they acted like starving ghosts, Takumi muttered:
"Are the side effects really this bad?"
He was surprised.
His method seemed to have made them worse.
"Hmph!!"
"What do you think?"
"Brother Takumi, that was just too much."
"You subtly influenced us into that state."
Though Takumi had only muttered, Sagiri and the others still heard him.
They were still bitter.
If they had remained immersed in the state, it wouldn't have mattered.
But after coming out, the mental fatigue was awful.
They felt like they'd been lost in a trance.
It felt like forever had passed.
Now, they'd probably become lazy.
At the same time, after this experience, they started to admire those who could endure solitude.
Those who weren't influenced by others
Who could just train in seclusion by choice.
That was something they could never do.
Now, they truly respected it.
Takumi scratched his head.
He didn't know what to say.
It seemed like he should avoid using that method again in the future.
Ch. 988 No Longer Getting Squeezed?
Sagiri, Alice, and Kasen Ibaraki ate a big meal at Takumi's house like starving ghosts.
After they were full, they left Takumi's house.
"Bye-bye!"
"We're leaving first."
"Brother Takumi, thank you for this time~!"
Although she was very dissatisfied with Takumi's methods, thanks to him, her strength had greatly improved.
It was very satisfying.
"Go back and rest."
"You all should probably get some good sleep for a few days."
After being put through that by Takumi, it would be a shame not to rest.
"Bye-bye~!"
Sagiri nodded and said no more.
She turned around and left, returning home.
After washing up, they all went straight to bed and fell asleep.
Sagiri's mother was a little confused when she saw her daughter's state. So tired just from a day out?
Could it be that her daughter is...
Thinking this, Mrs. Izumi observed for a while.
After finding that everything was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just mental fatigue.
Since coming to this world, she had learned a lot.
She could tell it was nothing serious.
Since Sagiri was fine, that was enough.
Thinking this, Mrs. Izumi continued with her own tasks.
She still had her drafts to draw.
Since arriving in this world, her life had improved greatly.
After all, her daughter had grown up.
She no longer had to support her.
Sagiri had learned to earn her own money.
Because of this, Mrs. Izumi was very happy now.
Doing things she enjoyed at home every day.
Then going out to play mahjong with Mrs. Sawamura and Mrs. Tohsaka.
These were her only hobbies now.
As for strength, she didn't care.
Ever since Sagiri gave her something called Penglai medicine, she had been in excellent health. No need to worry about lifespan.
She even regretted taking it.
After all, she didn't really want to be immortal.
But her daughter forced it on her.
She had no choice.
So this was the situation for now. Other matters could wait.
In the next few days, Takumi paid close attention to his world.
Because of the energy he had obtained.
Now, the entire world was rapidly becoming stronger.
Various rules were undergoing dramatic transformations.
This alone was enough to excite Takumi.
His world would soon reach a new level.
"Moving it here was truly the right decision."
"Really great."
Looking at the changes across the world, Takumi was very satisfied.
The only regret was that he couldn't grow stronger at the moment.
Otherwise, in these conditions, he could improve even more.
"Be satisfied."
"This is already good enough."
Bronya couldn't help rolling her eyes at his words.
Good grief, he still wanted more?
The current situation was already amazing.
If he hadn't moved the world here, there wouldn't be such an opportunity.
There's no way he could've improved this much otherwise.
Relying on other worlds, progress was much slower.
To reach his current level? Who knows how long it would've taken.
So he should be happy now.
This situation was like a massive cheat.
Hearing this, Takumi shrugged.
That was true.
"Anyway, next we just wait for the enhancement."
"We have nowhere to go."
The world was growing stronger, and Takumi had nothing to do with it now.
His strength was at its peak.
No matter how much stronger the world became, it wouldn't affect himunless he could break through.
"The other worlds are also upgrading rapidly."
"Tsk!"
"If I could grow stronger from the world's strength..."
"I'd get so many benefits."
It felt like hundreds of millions floating just out of reach.
That was frustrating.
Hearing this, Bronya rolled her eyes again.
"Wishful thinking."
"Don't be greedy~!"
"Just grow slowly through the chat group."
"I'll send you my points for now."
Bronya said as she transferred her points to Takumi.
When the others saw this, they began to question it.
Fujiwara Chika:
[Huh?]
[Starting to collect protection fees again?]
Good grief, it hadn't even been that long.
No one had many points yet.
Takumi was already collecting?
Shiroyasha:
[Everyone, please act accordingly!]
[Takumi's exclusive red envelope.]
Shiroyasha was delighted to see this.
Without hesitation, she handed over her points.
And urged everyone to cooperate. Quickly hand over your points!
Now, anyone stopping Takumi from growing stronger was an enemy.
Seeing Shiroyasha's message, Takumi was amused.
Good oneacting as my personal debt collector?
Fine, from now on, you're officially it.
Y Kasukabe:
[]
[Takumi's exclusive red envelope.]
[Takumi, I want some delicious food.]
The red envelope's givennow satisfy my wish.
Even being urged like that, Y still had a bit of pride.
If there were good ingredients, Takumi should provide them.
Seeing the message, Takumi activated his ability.
He pulled out special ingredients and sent them.
Takumi:
[Done!]
[Y's exclusive red envelope.]
He could fulfill this small request.
Himeko:
[Wait, it can work like this?]
[Takumi, I want Dream Coffee.]
[I've wanted it forever but couldn't buy it.]
