Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Another Newcomer
The two girls in front of them were clearly recognized.
It was likely that the invitation letters came from them as well.
This was no longer their original world. Just like in certain anime, they had crossed into another world.
When Yukino Yukinoshita heard that, Asuna smiled.
"The invitations weren't sent by me. They were distributed by the master of this world."
"A total of twenty were sent out. More than half of the recipients have already arrived."
"Come with me, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere more suitable. I'll explain the situation to you slowly."
With that, Asuna led the way, with Miko following. They brought Yukino and Hana Shirasaki through a spatial rift, arriving in a residential district.
This was where Asuna lived.
She brought the two girls directly to her home. As a single woman, Asuna lived alone; her parents had their own business, so there was no issue having guests overnight.
"Come in, make yourselves comfortable," she invited.
Asuna got drinks and snacks ready while Miko began explaining the nature of this world.
She also summoned a mechanical assistant to help them register identification.
Both girls received a terminal device and, under Miko's guidance, learned how to use it.
Gradually, they began to understand more about this world. It was a remarkable place—connected to countless others.
"Now that you've arrived here, your world will also eventually be linked."
"Takumi-kun will transport your world here."
"If you wish to return, you can use your invitation letter to go back."
"And since it's nighttime in your world, you're welcome to rest here and return tomorrow."
"Who knows—by tomorrow, your world might already be connected."
"Although, your families might worry."
Upon hearing that, Hana Shirasaki immediately raised her hand.
"Miko-nee, I want to go home later!"
She couldn't leave her mother worrying. She was just a child, after all.
Miko nodded. "Alright! No problem. What about you, Yukinoshita-san?"
At that moment, Asuna returned with drinks and snacks, having overheard the conversation from the kitchen thanks to her strong abilities.
"I'll return too. But I have a question. How do you know my name?"
Yukino looked at both of them.
They clearly knew her, but she wasn't from this world.
"Of course. You can ask Prometheus to search for your names. Your information appears in various forms in other worlds, so we naturally have it."
Asuna didn't hide anything. Basic information about them existed in Takumi's world, though much of it had been edited.
Yukino quickly began searching her name. A flood of information popped up.
Hana did the same and found their profiles.
Reading the details, Yukino was astonished.
Their world's information actually existed in this alternate universe?
What if the novels she read were also depictions of actual worlds?
Thinking about it, she started to understand.
Shortly after, the two girls left to return home. Since they now knew their worlds would be relocated, there was no need to stay longer.
They exchanged contact info with Asuna and Miko before departing.
After settling everything, Asuna messaged Takumi in the group chat.
Yuki Asuna: [All done!] [They went back for now.] [Tomorrow, you can relocate their world.]
Takumi replied that it wasn't a problem and didn't bother further.
Two regular worlds—nothing special.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita, Takumi wasn't that interested. Too ordinary. Not even as intriguing as Liliya.
But the group's otakus loved her type, so he'd leave that to them.
After chatting in the group for a bit, Takumi went to rest.
The next day, Takumi began his task.
He went directly to Yukino's world to relocate it.
By the time everything was in place, it was already afternoon.
With the two worlds settled, everything else was handed off to Prometheus.
Another two worlds added—Takumi was in a great mood.
The more worlds he gathered, the faster his own would evolve.
Now it was just a matter of waiting for more worlds to arrive.
When the Halloween Queen and her group showed up, the worlds from Little Garden would likely begin moving too.
It wouldn't be long before more worlds migrated to Takumi's side.
Some might even bring additional worlds along.
Little Garden held many powerful realms.
The only concern was interference from those still within Little Garden.
But even then, what could they really do?
There were just too many worlds.
While some might be forcibly held back, most would join Takumi.
Even if a few didn't, that was fine.
However, if too many were intercepted, Takumi would have to act.
After all, that would hinder his growth.
In the future, worlds would become Takumi's lifeline. Blocking them was like cutting off his path.
If that happened, he'd have no choice but to make a move.
But that was a matter for later.
For now, it seemed the chat group had a new member.
The last one to join was Gabriel.
This time, a male had entered the group.
And he was... quite special.
