Takumi clicked his tongue in amusement.
Maybe he should leave his mind-reading powers on all the time
might make things even more interesting.
Miori stayed silent,
mentally screaming.
He was actually using mind-reading on her??
"But... I haven't even been in a relationship before..."
She murmured softly.
"That's fine. Get on the ride firstbuy the ticket later."
Now that she was here, Takumi wasn't letting her go.
No way.
Chapter 117: Let Yuuki Reincarnate as an Angel!
How beautiful.
Takumi was in an exceptionally good mood.
However, Miori Shiba kept glaring at him with disapproval.
"I've already started delegating my work to others," she said. "From now on, I'm going to focus on training my superpower."
That morning, it was the first thing she told Takumi. He had brought back quite a number of people.
She had already found replacements for her role and was ready to return to her normal life.
"Do whatever you want. I don't care who you hand it off to," Takumi replied indifferently. "As long as someone's handling things, it's fine."
Seeing him agree so readily, Miori gave a firm nod.
"Great! In that case, I'll go take care of everything." "Lilia, let's go! I want to stop by the school later too."
And just like that, she dragged her comrade from the night before along with her.
Good besties sleep under the same blanketand they've literally fought side-by-side.
She was currently very close to Lilia, so it was the perfect excuse to go shopping together.
She also planned to move into Takumi's place.
Maybe invite Yu over, too. And the Holy Maiden.
That way, they wouldn't have to keep going back and forth.
With that in mind, Miori began her errands.
As for Takumi, he stayed at home and idly chatted in the group chat.
Unless something urgent came up, he rarely left the house.
While he was doing that, the city was bustling.
People from the two other worlds Takumi had brought over were now exploring the city.
Not only did Takumi provide them with identification cards, he also gave them money to get started in this new world.
Most of them were researchers, and they'd soon begin working for wages, so their livelihoods were more or less secured.
Since they weren't scheduled to start work right away, Takumi had granted them time to familiarize themselves with the world first.
As a result, the city was livelier than ever.
Altogether, Takumi had brought back around 500,000 to 600,000 people.
They were now scattered throughout the city, exploring and settling in.
Many shops had opened up thanks to those who had come earlier, who had already gotten used to life in this world and even started small businesses.
A lot of these shops were run by children, which surprised the newcomers until they heard their stories.
Anyone with a sane heart couldn't help but sympathize with them.
All of those children had once been cursed, but thanks to Takumi's healing, they were now like any other child.
And they were adorable.
Not a single cursed child was ugly.
Who could possibly dislike such cute kids?
The new arrivals slowly came to understand the structure of this world and gradually adapted to it.
Everyone was from somewhere else, so there was no discrimination.
This world was peaceful, and eye-opening in many ways.
Aside from superpowers, there were magical girlsand even angels.
However, seeing angels was no easy task.
One might catch a glimpse by visiting a church, as they had been established recently by the angels themselves.
Sometimes, angels would show up there.
When Konno Yuuki's mother heard this, she was ecstatic.
She had been a devout Christian.
The thought of meeting an actual angel in this new world thrilled her.
"Wait... does this mean Takumi-san is God?"
"We have to go pray! Immediately!"
Without hesitation, she decided to drag her husband and daughters to the nearest church.
She checked its location on the terminal and set off.
No one in the family objected.
Since being brought over by Takumi, they had settled down and even greeted their new neighbors.
Lady Izumi next door had explained many things about the world to them.
After a night of nervous sleep, they had woken early to explore.
And now, with the chance to see an angel, there was no way they'd miss it.
Among those Takumi brought over, many were religious.
By the time the Konno family arrived at the church, it was already filled with devout worshipers.
Gabriel had been informed ahead of time, and she personally came to oversee today's prayers.
It was a golden opportunity to gather faith.
As more and more people arrived, she could sense their distinct, powerful belief.
Heaven's system absorbed their faith without issue.
Though the belief systems had subtle differences, it was all usable.
Gabriel looked gently upon the gathering crowd, while they, in turn, looked up at her with deep reverence.
Especially Yuuki's motherwhen she learned this was Archangel Gabriel, she was overwhelmed with joy.
Gabriel, too, noticed the Konno family.
When her eyes fell upon Yuuki and her sister, they sparkled.
These two were perfect angel candidates.
Gabriel trusted her intuition.
The only question was: would they be willing to reincarnate as angels?
Heaven needed new blood, after all.
She'd ask them later.
She also wanted to confirm if they were the ones Takumi brought over yesterday.
She could ask the AI.
With that in mind, Gabriel returned to her duties.
...
Takumi: [Yuuki's already been arranged for.] [Don't worry, they're staying at Sagiri's house now.]
At that moment, Takumi was chatting about Yuuki in the group chat.
Asuna had asked him how Yuuki's family was doing.
Sagiri: [I was shocked when I saw them last night.] [I didn't expect big brother Takumi to settle them right next to me.]
She was just as surprisedbut pleasantly so.
Yuuki's recovery meant a lot.
Yuuki Asuna: [Great!] [Thank you so much!] [That really helps.] [Once I save up enough points, I'll go visit.]
Asuna's heart felt at ease.
Knowing Yuuki had recovered was enough to bring her joy.
Sagiri: [Yuuki and her parents went out this morning.] [They should be back by noon.] [I'll snap a photo later and send it to you.]
Upon reading Asuna's messages, Sagiri responded with excitement.
Chapter 118: Please Deliver One to Each of My Wives, Thanks
Asuna and Yuuki didn't know each other yet.
When Asuna saw what Sagiri mentioned, her eyes lit up immediately.
Yuki Asuna:
[Great!]
[I really want to meet Yuuki too.]
As the conversation continued, others in the group began to chime in.
Fujiwara Chika:
[How many people did you bring in this time, @Takumi?]
Bronya:
[Everyone, please be cautious. There's a guy now trafficking people from other worlds. Protect the people in your own world!!]
Takumi:
[????]
[Looks like I can still buy three more cross-world talismans. Bronya, how about I come to your world to discuss a multi-billion-dollar deal?]
Seriously? Early morning slander?
You want me kicked out of the group?
["Bronya" retracted a message.]
["Bronya" retracted another message.]
Bronya:
[That was the other me! Not my fault!!]
Let Takumi into her world?
Absolutely not.
Fujiwara Chika:
[You're the worst!!]
[Just because you have points doesn't mean you can act all high and mighty!]
Earning hate this early in the day?
So envious!
Takumi:
[Yes, having points means I can do whatever I want.]
[Who told you to be broke?]
Reading through these replies, Takumi was in high spirits.
Bronya:
[_]
Fujiwara Chika:
[(#)]
After the bickering, Takumi shifted the conversation.
Takumi:
[I talked with Miori Shiba last night. I plan to bring Aincrad into our world soon.]
[With the monster generation system, we can make an auto-farming area.]
[If anyone wants to train, feel free to come over.]
He extended the invitation openly.
Fujiwara Chika:
[No way. You kidney thief!!]
Bronya:
[No way. You kidney thief!!]
No points, so what's the point?
They weren't going to waste their hard-earned points.
Boros:
[Is it strong?]
He was intrigued.
A place to fight?
Count him in.
Takumi:
[You? Better not. You'd just demolish it.]
He couldn't help but roast Boros.
If that guy really challenged all 100 floors, he might punch a hole straight through.
Boros sighed.
What a shame.
Zhongli:
[A training ground, huh?]
[That could be excellent for practical experience. A suitable place to drill new recruits.]
He was very interested.
He could even send his Millelith there.
Takumi:
[Exactly. I also plan to get the magic academy up and running.]
[And have the magical girls go over to teach.]
[@Yuu, you can teach too if you're free.]
Yuu:
[No way...]
[Teaching sounds like a pain.]
She wasn't up for it.
She just wanted peace.
Takumi wasn't disappointed.
Alright, a bit of a pity though.
If a necromancer like Yuu taught, it'd probably draw in a crowd.
Takumi:
[Never mind then.]
[If anyone else wants to study abroad in my world, you're welcome. Learning magic could be useful.]
[Superpowers and magic are compatible.]
He grinned while sending that message.
Surely someone would be interested.
Buying magic directly through the group cost way too many points.
Might as well come to his world.
Learning magic uploaded by Takumi was instant.
But expensive in terms of points.
And everyone was broke.
Only Takumi was the rich one.
Suoh Mikoto:
[I'm very interested in magic.]
[Too bad I can't bring my clan with me.]
He did want to go.
But without spatial abilities, he could only go alone.
Takumi:
[Hmm, that is an issue.]
[@Zhongli, old man, can you get Madame Ping to make some portable domains?]
Portable domains would be ideal.
Glitch exploitation tools, really.
Zhongli:
[The materials are quite rare. Mass production might not be feasible.]
[Why not create a replica yourself using your powers?]
Zhongli declined.
Creating many teapots? Too troublesome.
Might as well let Takumi replicate it.
It would help everyone.
After all, everyone had people they cared about.
And once the group grew larger, these would become necessities.
Takumi:
[No problem.]
[Send it over. I'll even modify it.]
He accepted without hesitation.
Zhongli:
[Takumi's exclusive red packet]
[She didn't take it last time, so you have it.]
Last time, Madame Ping gave Zhongli the teapot just in case.
And now he passed it to Takumi.
He himself wouldn't be going.
His points were used for healing.
After several treatments, he was recovering well.
In time, all the wear and tear would vanish.
His strength was gradually returning.
Still, he needed to save up.
There was still Azdaha waiting for treatment.
Too few ways to earn points.
Only daily sign-ins and selling bits in the group.
But with so few people, barely any points moved around.
So just keep signing in.
Takumi accepted the teapot.
Takumi:
[Hang on!]
He replied quickly and began inspecting the artifact.
Though he didn't understand the creation method,
Takumi could still replicate it flawlessly.
Even modify its shape.
Same materials, same results.
He analyzed it thoroughly.
Soon, Takumi figured out how it worked.
Then began duplicating and reshaping.
In no time, several wristbands with intricate patterns were complete.
This was the smallest viable size.
Takumi wanted to make rings but couldn't.
Too small, the space inside would vanish.
So wristbands were the best compromise.
With those done, he listed them up for sale.
And also sent a few to Zhongli.
Takumi:
[Zhongli's exclusive red packet]
[Give these to my wives, thanks!]
Chapter 119: I Don't Want a Cross-World Internet Romance With You!
Zhongli looked at Takumi's message with a speechless expression.
Seriously? "Give one to my wife too"?
Even Zhongli found himself dumbfounded by Takumi's words.
Takumi: [Hu Tao, Ningguang, Keqing, Yelan, Ganyu...] [These are all my beloved wives.] [So please give each of them one too.]
Takumi straightforwardly wrote a long list. Even though he hadn't met them, it was always good to build connections early.
"This is from your future husband whom you haven't met yet."
Zhongli: [You'd better deliver them yourself.]
Saying that, he returned a few of the items to Takumi. Besides, it wouldn't have much effect even if he handed them over.
So it was better to let Takumi handle it himself. Zhongli only kept one for himself. As for the Serenitea Pot, he'd give it to Madam Ping later.
Seeing the returned items, Takumi shrugged.
Well, I'll just give them personally when I get the chance. Thinking so, Takumi stored them away. Then he casually put them up for sale in the shop.
System evaluation: 20,000 points.
When Takumi saw the price, he raised an eyebrow. "That cheap?" He muttered to himself.
He didn't bother thinking too much and directly uploaded 50 units. Then he returned to the group chat.
Fujiwara Chika: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!] Bronya: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!] Sagiri: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!! 237] Akeno: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!] Himeko: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!]
The whole group turned into a bunch of repeating parrots. Everyone saw it. Everyone wanted one.
Takumi: [Call me husband!]
Miori Shiba: [Husband!]
Fujiwara Chika: [????] [Wait, you really called him that?!]
Sagiri: [(Д)] Bronya: [6!!!] Yuu: [!!!!] Asuna: [(a)] Megumi Katou: [o(())o] Raiden Mei: [(Д)]
Miori Shiba's sudden "husband" shocked the entire group.
"You really went and said it?"
Miori Shiba: [He is my husband, you know!] [What's the problem?]
Miori Shiba had never backed down. Since yesterday, Takumi had been her husband. What's the issue?
Yuu: [Since when?!] Shocked! How did she not know? They were always together!
The others were shocked too. When did these two start?
Takumi: [You're all my wings!] [No need to be jealous!!]
What kind of reaction is this? Don't be so shocked.
Bronya: [Are you out of your mind!!] [Not doing an online romance with you!!]
