Lumine was shocked that Takumi suddenly said this. After all, she had never mentioned that she and her brother were twins.
Yet Takumi had just blurted it out so casually.
There was no doubtTakumi must know about her brother!
Lumine couldn't stay calm anymore.
Zhongli, who was watching from the side, felt somewhat speechless.
What exactly was Takumi up to?
"Of course I know him."
"Since you've recovered your memories, you must also know about Khaenri'ah."
"Your brother is living it up as a prince in the Abyss right now."
"Unlike you, who has to eat and sleep wherever you can every day."
"Ever since you woke up, you've had to fight hilichurls for food."
"He's living far better than you are."
"Though he's busy plotting revenge against Celestia these days."
"But he's got money, he's got food, and he's living quite the good life."
Listening to Takumi's words, Lumine was left in a daze.
What was this all about?
Her brother is enjoying life in the Abyss?
Meanwhile, she was struggling every day to make ends meet and to feed herself and the little glutton beside her?
At this moment, Lumine started to feel a growing sense of imbalance.
Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!
What a brother she had!
Lumine's expression suddenly twisted in frustration.
Paimon, seeing this, immediately became worried.
"Lumine, are you okay?"
March 7th and Xingmei were also a little concerned.
What was going on?
Shouldn't Lumine be happy to hear that her brother was doing well?
Why did she look as if she wanted to kill someone?
For a moment, March 7th and Xingmei were left confused.
"Great, just great!!"
"He really is my good brother!!"
As she said this, Lumine was so angry her teeth were grinding.
Takumi's lips curled up slightly at Lumine's reaction.
Zhongli, on the other hand, was speechless.
Was this guy trying to make Lumine want to kill aether?
"You don't need to get so angry."
"He's actually been secretly looking out for you."
"The Stormterror incident was also arranged by him."
"There are still a lot of things he's set up for you, all so you could gain experience."
"His plan was for you to travel all seven nations and then meet him again."
"He's taken care of many things for you."
"Your brother really does care about you."
March 7th listened to Takumi and was left with a face full of question marks.
Why did it sound like Takumi was just fanning the flames?
Lumine was already furiouswhy keep going?
Was he trying to get Lumine to kill her own brother?
March 7th's expression became quite odd.
"Good, my foot!!"
"That bastard, in the Abyss, huh?"
"Fine!!"
"Let him stay there for the rest of his life."
"So everything's been arranged for me? I don't need this kind of arrangement."
"Why should I be the one suffering while he's enjoying himself?"
"Why do I have to go through all this?"
"March 7th, take me with you when you leave."
"I'll go with you!"
As she said this, Lumine looked over at March 7th.
Fine, if that's how it is, then she was leaving.
Let him play his little games here all he wants.
"Eh, eh, eh?"
"Lumine, you want to leave this world?"
Paimon was shocked.
She never expected Lumine would actually want to leave this world.
"Hmph!"
"If he wants to keep playing the prince of the Abyss, let him."
"I'm done playing his game!!"
"I've decidedI'm going to have fun in another world."
Since March 7th and her friends had a way to travel to other worlds,
She'd just go with them when the time came.
Besides, it wasn't as if she couldn't come back later.
So, she made up her mind to go explore March 7th's world.
"Hmm, not a bad idea."
"Going to March 7th's world does sound pretty fun."
"When the time comes, you can also come to my world."
Takumi thought it was a great plan.
Lumine, just forget about your brother.
Go travel around and have fun.
Visit some other worlds.
Who needs a brother like that anyway?
Go out and enjoy yourself, and maybe bring back a little nephew for your brother next time you visit.
"Emm..."
"I'm fine with it, but if you want to come to our world, you'll have to ask Himeko and the others."
"It wouldn't be good to just suddenly bring someone along."
March 7th was basically in agreement,
But it wasn't entirely up to her.
There were other people aboard the Astral Express, after all.
If there was going to be an extra passenger, she'd have to ask them too.
"Himeko's fine with it!"
"I already asked for you."
This whole conversation had just been streamed live.
Everyone was a bit speechless at Takumi's antics.
Still, if Lumine wanted to go visit another world,
Himeko would definitely welcome her...
So she had no objections.
March 7th blinked in surprise at this.
"You asked Himeko?"
"Really?"
She was only just about to ask herself.
Had Takumi already asked?
Was he for real?
"Of course it's true.
"I was livestreaming the whole time."
As he said this, Takumi showed them the livestream feed.
They could see there were over a dozen people watching.
Himeko:
[If Lumine wants to come visit, she's absolutely welcome. Little March 7th, there's no problem on my end.]
Seeing Takumi share the livestream, Himeko immediately sent another message.
When March 7th saw this message, her eyes lit up.
"Eh?"
"What's that?"
Paimon and Hu Tao looked at the screen in surprise, crowding closer.
"It's a livestream!"
"Those are people from another world."
Takumi explained cheerfully to Paimon and Hu Tao.
Hearing his explanation, both of them were stunned.
"You can actually contact people from other worlds?"
"Hello, can you hear me?"
Paimon stared at the livestream, curiosity shining in her eyes.
She greeted the strangers she'd never met.
Houraisan Kaguya:
[We can hear youthere's an emergency food calling out!]
Shuna:
[Hello, little Paimon~!]
Fujiwara Chika:
[We can hear youthere's an emergency food calling out!]
Sagiri:
[I see itthere's an emergency food calling out!]
Gradually, the barrage of comments became neatly synchronized.
When Paimon saw the comments, she was so angry she stamped her foot.
"Hey, hey, hey!!"
"I'm not emergency food!!"
"How did this nickname get out to so many people?!"
"I thought you were all from other worlds?!"
Paimon was both angry and curious.
Had her fame really spread that far? Even to other worlds?
Takumi glanced at Paimon and then quickly shut off the stream.
He was worried that if Paimon saw more comments, she'd completely explode.
Especially with Kaguya-hime aroundif she saw Paimon upset, she'd definitely have a lot to say!
"Why'd you turn it off?"
"I haven't finished talking to them yet."
Paimon was frantic when Takumi closed the livestream.
She still had more to ask!
How could he just shut it off like that?
Chapter 212: Heading to Honkai: Star Rail for a Power-Up
Takumi shot an annoyed look at this group.
"What's there to see?"
"Stop looking."
"You all should get back to discussing your plans to travel to other worlds."
Himeko has already agreed,
So you'd better continue talking about your journey to other worlds.
Hearing Takumi say this, Paimon finally stopped asking more questions.
Instead, she joined Lumine in discussing their trip to another world.
Now that Lumine had made up her mind and there were no issues from the other side,
What else could Paimon do?
Of course she was going along too.
At this point, Paimon was incredibly curious about what March 7th's world would be like.
The whole group chatted leisurely in the teahouse.
Meanwhile, Keqing arrived at the Jade Chamber.
When Ningguang saw Keqing, she was genuinely surprised.
"You're back already?"
Keqing just came back like that?
This left Ningguang quite puzzled.
Wasn't she with Takumi?
"For the Rite of Parting, of course I had to return."
"Mr. Takumi came toohe's with the Geo Archon right now."
Keqing looked helplessly at Ningguang.
Was it really so strange for her to come back?
When Ningguang heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Mr. Takumi is here too?"
"I understand. Later, I'll arrange a banquet to welcome Mr. Takumi."
In the future, Takumi might become their big boss,
So she had to build a good relationship.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
"How is the preparation for the Rite of Parting going?"
"How's the progress?"
As she spoke, Keqing took out a terminal from her Vision and handed it to Ningguang.
Keqing had specifically brought this back for Ningguang.
Taking the device, Ningguang smiled and said,
"Don't worry about my work."
"There's no problem."
"Instead, what about your side? Any updates?"
"How is the progress?"
Ningguang asked as she fumbled awkwardly with the device in her hands.
Facing Ningguang's question, Keqing immediately explained,
"The main structure of Liyue is already built."
"It was the Geo Archon who did most of the work."
"The Geo Archon's power has grown even stronger now."
Thinking about it, Keqing couldn't help but sigh.
Similarly, after going to Takumi's side, she herself had also grown much stronger.
Her elemental power had completely disappeared,
And was replaced by Honkai Energy.
Honkai Energy was much more useful than elemental power.
Now, Keqing felt like she could beat ten of her old selves in a fight.
Ningguang was shocked to hear this.
"The Geo Archon went there too?"
"So, all that's left is the interior decoration, and then it'll be ready to use?"
"Looks like our relocation might happen ahead of schedule."
Saying this, Ningguang raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'll send you some things."
"Although we can't connect to the internet, transferring files on the local network is no problem."
"Prometheus, I'll trouble you."
"Help me send all the information about Liyue to Ningguang."
Keqing said this as she began transferring everything she had recorded onto the terminal.
Now that Ningguang had it all, there was no need to explain each thing one by one.
Just let Prometheus send it all at once.
Upon receiving Keqing's command,
Prometheus got to work,
Transferring all the files Keqing mentioned to Ningguang's terminal.
After receiving everything, Ningguang quickly began to review the files.
Keqing had stored many photos taken from all angles.
Seeing the construction progress in the pictures, Ningguang nodded with satisfaction.
"Things are moving so fast!"
By the time Keqing returned, quite a few houses were already fully furnished.
Thanks to the use of robots,
The speed of construction was unbelievably fast.
"We expect to have all the interior work finished within three months."
"By then, we can send some people over."
Keqing explained the situation on her side.
The speed was much faster than originally planned.
Upon hearing this, Ningguang nodded.
"Understood."
"I'll coordinate everything on my end."
"I'll arrange for some people to go over in advance."
Ningguang was extremely serious about this.
If things were really going to move this fast, then many preparations had to be made ahead of time.
While the two chatted, Ganyu arrived as well.
Ganyu had heard that Keqing had returned, so she came over.
Seeing Ganyu, Keqing immediately called out,
"Ganyu!"
"The Holy Celestial sent me back with a letter for you."
As she spoke, she pulled out a letter from her Vision.
The Holy Celestial had given her the letter quite some time ago.
Now that she was back, she naturally handed it over to Ganyu.
Hearing this, Ganyu was taken aback for a moment,
Then immediately got excited.
"Thank you!"
Ganyu took the letter and started reading it on the spot.
She and the Holy Celestial truly got along very well.
Though they hadn't known each other long,
The two had already formed a deep friendship.
Ningguang glanced at Ganyu, then called her secretary in.
She told her to prepare a lavish banquet for the evening.
Tonight, she would properly entertain Takumi.
The secretary quickly got busy with the preparations.
As for the banquet, it would be held right at the Jade Chamber.
No need to go to any hotel.
Here at the Jade Chamber, that was Ningguang's highest level of hospitality.
...
Takumi and Zhongli had lunch at Wanmin Restaurant.
Lumine had already decided that they'd head over to the Honkai: Star Rail side.
She also decided to leave a huge "gift" for her brother.
Let her brother play on his own.
She was planning to ask an Abyss Mage to deliver a letter to her brother.
She wanted aether to know just how terrifying she could be when she got angry.
After lunch, everyone split up.
Zhongli took Takumi for a stroll around Liyue.
"After the Rite of Parting, I've arranged for the Anemo Archon to come over."
"You'll get to meet that drunkard, too."
"After dealing with the Anemo Archon's matters, I'll move on to the other Archons."
"Once I get the Little Lucky Grass King out, I'll initiate a meeting of all Seven Archons."
"Then we'll discuss the immigration plans with them."
Zhongli explained some of his upcoming plans.
Takumi nodded.
"It's your territory, so it's up to you."
"But I can't stay here too long."
"Once the Rite of Parting is over, I'll head back."
Takumi had no intention of sticking around longer.
He was planning to head to Honkai: Star Rail afterward.
There, he could acquire a vast amount of knowledgeand maybe even get a power-up.
He already had a plan in mind.
He'd pay a visit to Herta's Space Station.
At that time, he would seek out the Erudition Aeon.
If Takumi needed knowledge, then the Erudition Aeon was the one to find.
Surely, for an outsider like him,
The Erudition Aeon would be interested.
By trading knowledge about the myriad worlds for Honkai: Star Rail's information,
The Erudition Aeon would surely not refuse.
Chapter 213: The Things in the Trash Bin Must Be Valuable Too, Right?
The Aeon of Erudition was always trying to unravel the mysteries of everything.
Naturally, it was fascinated by the infinite multiverse.
