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

The current main members of the No-Name Community were undeniably powerful.

Izayoi, Asuka, You, and Black Rabbit — just these four alone were already immensely strong.

After all, they were all in the group chat.

Back when invitations were first sent out, all of them were brought in.

And the community had other members too — the vampire loli and several other children, plus many newly joined individuals.

Some were even dragonkin and similar races.

Altogether, their strength had elevated the community to an unprecedented level.

Takumi chatted with Black Rabbit about these matters.

Others were also casually conversing.

Gradually, Takumi saw familiar faces arriving, like Tomoyo and the others.

Tomoyo had brought along Sakura and young Tomoyo.

Seeing her, Kaguya immediately ran over to greet her.

Kaguya and Tomoyo were now close friends.

Sometimes, they would gather for tea and chat about topics only princesses would discuss.

Who knew how Kaguya managed to get along so well with Tomoyo?

Kaguya was clearly an indoor recluse.

Yet she got along surprisingly well with Tomoyo.

Maybe it was a remnant of her pre-NEET self.

More and more people arrived at Liyue Harbor.

As the time came, fireworks began to rise above the port.

Everyone was gathered in a huge plaza, watching the beautiful firework show.

Alongside that, many sky lanterns floated upward into the night sky.

Even Takumi joined in, releasing one himself.

In an instant, the sky above Liyue Harbor was filled with colorful lanterns — it was a breathtaking sight.

Meanwhile, Zhongli sat in a private room at a teahouse.

Aside from him, several Archons and immortals were also present.

"This is the first Lantern Rite since Liyue was relocated to this world."

"I hope Liyue continues to flourish."

"Even as people from Teyvat, we mustn't forget our traditions."

"If there are any festivals in the future, let's celebrate them in full."

"This lively atmosphere is what everyone truly loves, isn't it?"

Zhongli looked around at the other gods.

Hearing his words, everyone smiled.

"Of course~!"

"When Windblume Festival comes around in Mondstadt, I'll make sure we celebrate just as grandly!"

"This is amazing. It's even more festive than back in Teyvat."

"I really enjoy scenes like this."

Venti looked at the bustling crowd below in Liyue Harbor.

He felt a pang of envy.

He hoped Mondstadt could become just as vibrant.

Gods love their people. The Archons of Teyvat naturally wished the best for their cities.

Even though there were no more nations per se, what difference did it make?

As Venti's words fell, the others echoed their agreement.

Indeed — hosting festivals like this could even rake in massive profits~!

So why wouldn't they continue?

"Cheers~!"

"Here's to our continued prosperity."

Zhongli raised his cup to them.

The others chuckled and lifted their cups to toast with him.

The first festival celebrated by Liyue in this world had been an overwhelming success.

Takumi and Keqing stood at the port, watching the lanterns rise into the sky, both visibly satisfied.

"Thank you~!"

"Liyue's people are doing better and better now."

"We really do have you to thank for all the help you've provided."

Keqing glanced at Takumi.

Ever since Liyue moved here, Takumi had been a great support.

She had seen it all.

She was truly grateful to him.

Liyue's current prosperity had a lot to do with him.

"It's mutual benefit~!"

"No need for thanks. You're helping me too, aren't you?"

Takumi didn't mind at all.

Most of what he provided was easy for him to create.

But Keqing didn't see it that way.

"Still, I want to say thank you~!"

She shook her head.

Without Takumi's help, Liyue wouldn't have been able to relocate so completely and smoothly.

In fact, it had even expanded.

Liyue now was changing daily, truly transforming.

And all of that was thanks to the vast world Takumi brought.

Liyue's people had benefited immensely.

Takumi didn't dwell on the topic.

The two stood there, watching the lanterns continue to float upward.

When the time was right, Keqing invited Takumi out for a late-night snack.

Her responsibilities with the festival were done.

From now on, she could just enjoy the time with Takumi.

However, finding a place to eat at that hour was tough — every restaurant in Liyue Harbor was packed.

So Keqing simply brought Takumi back to her place and cooked for him herself.

Yes, it was grilled fish — "Survivor's Grilled Fish."

Takumi finally got to taste it.

It was Keqing's specialty, and the flavor was surprisingly good.

To express his thanks, Takumi decided to stay the night at Keqing's place.

...

The next day, Takumi happily returned home.

Keqing went back to work.

Their relationship had taken a step forward — though for now, no one else knew.

Except for Bronya.

Takumi hadn't come home, so she instantly guessed where he had gone.

But she didn't say anything.

In the following days, everyone was busy.

Takumi spent his time wandering around — or hanging out with the girls.

For half a month straight, this was his routine.

At the same time, Takumi grew a little frustrated — none of the invitation letters he sent out had returned!

It had been quite a long time now, hadn't it?

Not a single one had come back?

That was ridiculous.

Tomoyo, Inori Yuzuriha, Kanade, Tsukuyomi Komoe, Minato Namikaze, Kaede Honjou, Hatsune Miku, Kotori Minami, Hana Shirosaki, Yukinoshita Yukino...

Only half of the recipients had replied.

He'd sent out 20 invitation letters, but only 10 had returned?

That was bizarre.

Especially considering it had already been two full weeks.

Takumi wasn't the only one who thought it was strange — even shiroyasha found it odd.

She began grumbling in the group chat.

shiroyasha:

[This makes no sense.]

[It's been two weeks, and not a single new world has been integrated?]

[What's going on here?]

In the past, new worlds were being added every few days.

But now?

Chika Fujiwara:

[Maybe the holiday break isn't over yet?]

[We just got through New Year's!!]

Even invitation letters needed time off.

Maybe they hadn't arrived yet because it wasn't officially time to return to work?

Takumi:

[I have no idea. I'm frustrated too.]

It really didn't make any sense.

Could someone have intercepted them?

And with all this time passed, the worlds from Little Garden were probably close to arrival.

But his invitations still weren't all back.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous if, by the time the world transformation was complete, some invitations still hadn't returned?
