Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Looks Like Something Big Is About to Happen
Kanna clearly felt the benefits of Honkai Energy. Her whole being was stunned.
But for now, it was time to eat.
When she heard Takumi's words, Kanna's attention quickly shifted to the food on the table. Seeing the delicious dishes, her eyes lit up.
She turned to Takumi. "Can I eat this?" Was this really for her?
Takumi nodded. "Of course you can. These were all prepared just for you. Come, let's eat first, and then I'll explain everything about this world."
He lifted Kanna onto the dining table. Rem hurried to provide a bowl and chopsticks. Seeing Kanna's adorable expression, Rem was completely overwhelmed.
Too cute! She just wanted to hug her and squish those cheeks!
Kanna didn't hold back. She'd already been resisting long enough. Without hesitation, she started eating. Picking up her chopsticks and bowl, she dove into the feast.
Everyone watched.
Even the way Kanna ate was cute!
Meanwhile, Takumi began explaining the situation in this world to her. When she learned she was brought here via an invitation letter, Kanna froze, chopsticks in hand.
"Was that for Kobayashi...? Hmm... I think I lost it," she muttered with a frown. She had fallen asleep holding it, but now it was gone?
"I have it," Takumi said, pulling out the letter he had picked up when transferring her over. It had been under her as she slept.
"That's it!!" Kanna's eyes sparkled. Yes, this was it. She remembered clutching it as she dozed.
"Yup. This is what brought you here. Hang out here for a bit while I bring your world over. Then your friends can come here too. We've got lots of dragons here, after all."
He handed the invitation back to Kanna for safekeeping and messaged Kuro to come over. Kanna could tag along with her.
"Yay~!" Kanna perked up. If Kobayashi and the others could come too, that would be amazing. She quickly resumed eating with enthusiasm.
Before long, Kuro arrived.
"You called me? Huh? A dragon I've never seen?"
She tore through space to reach Takumi's home and soon spotted Kanna.
This dragon... she hadn't seen her before. A newcomer?
Gorgeous!
What a fine little dragon.
Kuro ran up to Kanna and gently placed a hand on her head. "Stick with me from now on. I'll take care of you."
Kanna was stunned the moment she saw Kuro.
So strong! Stronger than any dragon she'd ever met.
A Dragon God?
No, not even a Dragon God was this strong!
Majia Bakune!!! Incredible! There was such a powerful dragon in this world?
"I'm Kanna Kamui!" Kanna quickly introduced herself. Dragons revered power, and Kuro's strength naturally earned her respect.
"She's Kurimo. You can call her Kuro," Takumi said. "Kuro, I'll leave Kanna with you. Help her get used to this world. I'll bring her world over later — there are lots of dragons there too."
"No problem!" Kuro nodded. She'd take good care of the little one.
With everything arranged, Takumi vanished. Kuro stayed behind and started chatting with Kanna about dragon-only topics.
The others nearby quickly found themselves lost in the conversation.
Hmm... they really couldn't follow the discussion anymore.
How to maintain scales, for instance — utterly incomprehensible.
...
Takumi arrived in Kanna's world, specifically at Kobayashi's house, where the world's mark was located.
Previously, Kanna had been sleeping on the sofa. When she crossed over, she reverted to dragon form.
As soon as Takumi appeared, someone rushed toward him.
"Who are you?! Where's Kanna?!"
A surge of powerful magic erupted.
Turning his head, Takumi saw a very angry Tohru dressed in her maid outfit.
Kanna had vanished, and this stranger appeared in her place. So Kobayashi immediately blamed Takumi.
"Tohru, calm down," Takumi said, glancing at the maid-dragon.
A moment later, an immense pressure descended upon Tohru.
The sudden force made her pupils slit.
Fear rippled through her body.
Seeing this, Takumi immediately withdrew his aura.
"My name is Takumi. I'm from another world. Kanna is currently in my world. You'll see her soon — I'm bringing your world over."
He meant her no harm.
Sometimes, a little show of strength was necessary to have a proper conversation. That's all it took to quiet Tohru.
He greeted her briefly, then vanished.
Tohru exhaled slowly. She was completely baffled.
Who was that? Why was he so strong?
Was this some kind of joke?
Someone from another world?
Kanna had gone there too?
Still reeling, Tohru quickly summoned Elma and the others to discuss the matter.
Something big was happening!
...
Takumi didn't concern himself with what came next. He was already outside the world.
The Dragon Maid world wasn't a single realm — it contained multiple nested sub-worlds.
This wasn't surprising to Takumi, since the original world already had connections to alternate worlds.
He swiftly collected the entire world.
Some powerful beings took notice, but they were helpless.
They couldn't even leave their own world, let alone stop him.
After retrieving the world, Takumi returned.
Back in his realm, he released the newly acquired world and began constructing the necessary teleport formations.
After wrapping that up, he didn't head home immediately.
Instead, he went to check in on Esdeath and the others.
They had completed the patrol routes as Prometheus had planned.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion, exactly as Takumi had outlined.
Esdeath's patrol group had already moved far from Takumi's world.
This area would become the first battlefield — a forward base.
Fortresses had even been constructed here in preparation.
