Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

The only lingering trace was that faint aura left in the dimensional gap. But how could you track someone with just that trace? That was a big problem.

"Maybe... they didn't even take this world seriously. After all, who would have thought this world would suddenly cheat and evolve like this?"

Takumi chuckled to himself. Though he didn't know who those people were, they definitely wouldn't have expected the world to turn out this way.

"Emm..."

Shiroyasha was at a loss for words. True, who would've imagined a completely ordinary world would end up like this? It was just absurd.

"So there's no rush. If the chance comes later, we'll look into it. When this world completes its transformation, and if those people really exist and come to check, they'll be in for a huge shock."

Takumi smirked. He wasn't sure how powerful those people were, but if they saw the current state of this world, they'd be stunned.

Shiroyasha burst into laughter. "You're right. I'm looking forward to that."

This world was no longer what it used to be. With the worlds of No Game No Life and Honkai: Star Rail fused in, Takumi's world had grown immensely powerful.

Especially those powerhouses who, after tapping into Takumi's world's energy, had further enhanced their abilities.

The three of them sat there casually chatting. Takumi no longer considered those unknown enemies much of a threat. Once the world's transformation was complete, he'd be aware of any anomalies across all worlds.

If anyone truly did come, Takumi would know immediately.

Currently, Takumi could only control this world. He couldn't interfere with others. That's why he had Prometheus monitor things. If anyone unknown appeared in this world, Prometheus would detect it instantly.

After all, the energy within new arrivals would always be different. Like a firefly breaking into a dark room—hard to miss.

As they chatted, Prometheus's voice suddenly rang out.

"The one with the invitation has arrived. It's Minami Kotori."

Takumi froze.

"Huh? Minami Kotori?" So this time it was someone from a normal world?

Shiroyasha's eyes lit up immediately. "Kotori!! Let's go, take me to her!!"

She was thrilled. Minami Kotori—though from a normal world—was still widely beloved.

"Tch! You damn perv."

Takumi rolled his eyes. She was way too excited.

"You know nothing! That's Kotori! Where is she? Quick!"

Shiroyasha glared at Takumi. Did he not understand the gold standard of Love Live!?

"Didn't expect you to be this shallow."

Takumi sighed, disappointed.

But all he got in response was a contemptuous look from Shiroyasha.

"Please! If I had the right tools, I'd already have a pair of beautiful wings! So frustrating!"

Shallow? Who was really being shallow here?

"HEHE! Here, take two helium atoms."

Takumi didn't bother replying further and instead stood up to say goodbye to Zhongli. Zhongli wouldn't be coming along, so only Takumi and Shiroyasha went.

...

Meanwhile, Minami Kotori was utterly confused.

She had appeared in a suburban area and, to top it off, was incredibly unlucky—she encountered a food-type creature.

She was terrified. Had she really just traveled to another world?

Shocking!

Living in Japan and working in Akihabara, she knew exactly what this meant. She was still holding an invitation in her hand—the one that had suddenly appeared in her house. She picked it up out of curiosity and opened it, only to end up here.

Fear crept over her.

But the food creature, noticing the human, got even more terrified. Without hesitation, it turned and fled.

No joke. In this world, they were at the bottom of the food chain. At the sight of a human, their first instinct was to run—or else they'd get turned into a meal.

It was ingrained into their DNA.

Just as Kotori panicked, she saw the monstrous creature turn tail and run.

"Dinner's served."

At that moment, a flash of light struck and eliminated the creature.

Then, a handsome man and a petite girl appeared before Kotori. Seeing them, she froze.

"Eh? Are they people from another world? They're really good-looking."

"Hello, little bird-chan! I'm Shiroyasha. Nice to meet you!"

Shiroyasha immediately ran up, grabbed Kotori's hand, and greeted her with a wide grin. She looked just like a sleazy old man.

Kotori felt awkward. What was with this girl? Why did she seem like a pervy old dude?

She tried to pull her hand away, but Shiroyasha gripped it tight. She couldn't break free.

"Let go of your dirty pig hand! Let go of the girl!!"

Smack!

Takumi slapped Shiroyasha's hand and pulled her back to his side.

Seeing this, Shiroyasha rolled her eyes. This damn guy!

"Don't worry! With me here, this pervert won't hurt you."

... Oh great, now she was being labeled a pervert.

Shiroyasha was fuming. She glared at Takumi, practically grinding her teeth.

Kotori, on the other hand, was confused. Aren't you two on the same team? Why are you arguing?

She also had another question.

"Um... do you know me?"

Shiroyasha had just called her by name. Kotori definitely wasn't deaf.

"Of course we do! Little Bird-chan is number one!!"

Shiroyasha was ecstatic and even started singing.

"Who do I love!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you big dummy!!"

Takumi's eye twitched.

"Shut up! Stop singing."

He immediately cut off Shiroyasha's chant and turned to Kotori.

"Come on. Let's talk somewhere else."

With that, Takumi led her away. Shiroyasha quickly followed.

"Wait for me! Damn it!! You greedy pig trying to hog everything again?!"

Muttering complaints, Shiroyasha chased after them.

All three vanished from sight—along with the food creature Takumi had eliminated.
