Chapter 829: Ch. 829 – Feels Like You’re Digging Through My Memories!
Today's Halloween Queen must be beaten to tears.
That's what Shiroyasha said.
Either she cries, or I cry—whoever breaks down first.
The fierce-looking Shiroyasha was determined to find the Halloween Queen no matter what.
However, the Halloween Queen didn't want to see her and had been hiding for quite some time.
She was no longer in Takumi's world. She had already escaped elsewhere.
Because of this, Shiroyasha's attempt to find her was futile.
She couldn't find her at all.
But Shiroyasha directly used her power to search.
Wherever the sunlight touched, she could retrieve information.
However, if the Halloween Queen wanted to hide, she was incredibly difficult to locate.
Thus began another chapter in their love-hate saga.
Shiroyasha's antics today would entertain Takumi for a long time.
Bronya looked at Takumi, who was thoroughly enjoying himself with everyone.
She was momentarily speechless.
"Is it really okay for you to laugh at her like that?"
"Goodness, even if you want to tease Shiroyasha, don't keep picking on her."
Bronya looked seriously at Takumi.
Don't bully Shiroyasha. She finally grew stronger, yet you still tease her like this.
It's just too much.
Why not just ramp it up even more?
Bronya thought to herself.
When Takumi heard this, he looked at Bronya and chuckled.
Naturally, he couldn't hide his thoughts from her.
"Hehe~!"
"It's time to push her further!"
"Let her and the Halloween Queen keep going with their love-hate drama."
"That's more entertaining to watch."
It's always fun to watch others suffer—as long as you're not the target. Everyone minds being the joke, except Aha.
Everyone is a source of entertainment.
Takumi was, and so was Bronya.
"Let's see how it goes!"
"It seems quite difficult for Shiroyasha to catch the Halloween Queen."
"After all, the Halloween Queen is an expert at escaping."
Bronya had Prometheus pull up a live feed of Shiroyasha's location while discussing the Queen.
If the Halloween Queen truly wanted to evade Shiroyasha, the latter wouldn't be able to find her.
She was like Yakumo Yukari—an escape artist.
Even if she didn't hide in the boundary gaps, Shiroyasha could only fume powerlessly.
Unless she too mastered the gap and could chase her. But Yukari was still stronger.
Shiroyasha had indeed acquired gap power from Takumi, but it was ineffective.
The Halloween Queen was just that slippery.
Shiroyasha ran around trying to find her, but to no avail.
"Emm… how pitiful."
Watching the furious but helpless Shiroyasha, Bronya's mouth twitched.
So miserable to be toyed with.
"She deserves it, that fool!"
"Forget it, just ignore her."
"Prometheus, record Shiroyasha's every move."
"We'll enjoy it later."
Takumi grinned while giving the order.
Make sure Prometheus documented all of Shiroyasha's upcoming actions.
"Understood, Lord Takumi!"
Prometheus immediately complied.
For her, who could monitor the entire world, recording Shiroyasha was easy.
As she got to work, Takumi couldn't help but ponder.
Should he collect everyone's dark histories too?
After all, it's useful to know embarrassing moments.
As he contemplated this, Bronya gave him a side-eye.
"What kind of evil thoughts are you having?"
Takumi's mischievous expression was too obvious.
She could tell at a glance.
"Uh… I was thinking if I should start revealing everyone's dark history!"
Takumi said with interest.
Bronya was immediately alarmed.
"You've definitely been corrupted by Aha!!"
Seriously, have you become a full-blown prankster?
Takumi just laughed.
As they were talking, a new message popped up in the group chat.
Akeno:
[I'm awake!]
[@Takumi, Takumi-kun, I found another world!]
[And it looks pretty decent.]
[According to Prometheus's reality database, it's the world of Ao no Exorcist (Blue Exorcist)?]
Akeno had just woken up from her dormant pod, checked her surroundings, and called out to Takumi.
After learning about the new world from Prometheus, she immediately contacted him.
When Akeno mentioned that nostalgic name, Takumi froze.
Blue Exorcist?
What era is that from?
Memories from the past hit him like a wave. Was this really world exploration? Or a trip down memory lane?
He remembered that summer, watching anime and eating popsicles at home.
"Hm… a world without many cute girls."
Takumi murmured.
The only character he once liked was Moriyama Shiemi.
But later, as the animation style improved and he gained more waifus, he lost interest.
Eventually, he even forgot about it.
Back then, he was a god-tier otaku.
With so many waifus in his paper world, who would remember the older ones?
Su Ye:
[Want me to head over and retrieve you?]
Joining the chat, Takumi asked.
Let's go for a stroll.
Akeno saw Takumi's message and smiled slyly.
She turned to glance at Rias and the others who were still sleeping.
Akeno's eyes gleamed with mischief.
What a great chance for some alone time.
Akeno:
[Then I'll trouble you, Takumi-kun~!]
Without hesitation, she extended the invitation.
She had already set the system—whenever a new world was discovered, Prometheus would wake her.
She'd judge the world's state. If it was stable, there was no need to wake the others.
She could handle it herself and go back to sleep.
Or have a lovely chat with Takumi.
Such a rare chance.
Especially in front of the sleeping Rias and crew.
How thrilling.
Thinking this, Akeno felt a surge of anticipation.
Not long after, Takumi's figure appeared.
"What luck."
"Let me retrieve you first."
"Are you planning to explore further or head back?"
Takumi got straight to the point.
Looking at the world around him, he thought it wasn't bad.
Though an old anime, its world quality was still impressive.
"Don't be so quick~!"
"It's rare to be alone with Takumi-kun. I want to have a good chat."
"Let's put world matters aside for now."
Akeno looked at Takumi with a smile.
She was dressed in a witch's outfit, radiating charm.
Upon hearing her words, Takumi turned to face her.
After blinking, he instantly understood her intent.
Typical Akeno~!
