Chapter 114: Can I Trouble You to Take Yuuki With You?

As Asuna watched Takumi leave, her face instantly turned bright red.

That guy… seriously too much!

"Pervert!!"

Asuna was fuming.

What did he even mean by 'deep conversation'?

Who wants to have that kind of 'deep conversation' with him!

Asuna was no innocent maiden. Raised as a refined young lady, she knew exactly what Takumi's words implied.

She pouted, clearly annoyed, but didn't dwell on it further. Getting up, she decided to inform her parents that Takumi had already left—just in case they misunderstood anything strange going on in her room.

...

Meanwhile, Takumi had already arrived at Konno Yuuki's hospital room.

For someone like him, locating Yuuki was far too simple.

Both Yuuki and her sister Ran were here, and Takumi casually walked in.

"Hello there!"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, both sisters froze.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Ran asked cautiously.

She hadn't passed away yet—not in this timeline.

"You can think of me as a Kami-sama from another world!"

"I'm here to save you."

Takumi beamed at them.

Looking at them, he immediately understood how dire their physical conditions were.

One or two more years, and they'd both be gone.

The two sisters were stunned, but before they could say anything, Takumi snapped his fingers.

A warm sensation spread through their bodies.

Then—

They felt power surging within.

Their eyes widened in shock.

What… what is this?

Could it be…?

They turned to look at Takumi.

"All done. You're both healed now," he said cheerfully.

"So, will you come with me?"

"I can also heal your parents."

"But in exchange, you must leave this world and come with me."

"Well? What do you say?"

Ran didn't hesitate a second.

"We're willing!! Kami-sama, please save our parents too!!"

She wasn't foolish.

Takumi had already proven he was a god.

He was now inviting them to another world—why would they ever refuse?

Yuuki nodded eagerly.

If their parents could be saved, she'd happily leave this world behind.

"Then, it's a deal."

"Let's go."

With that, Takumi snapped his fingers again.

A rift opened before them.

Takumi stepped in first.

The sisters exchanged glances, then yanked out their IVs and followed—still in hospital gowns.

Soon after their disappearance, nurses came by for rounds and panicked.

The girls were just gone. Vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, Takumi had brought the Konno sisters to their home.

Their parents were still at home, having just finished dinner.

They had intended to visit the hospital soon.

But before they could, a spatial rift suddenly opened in their living room.

Out stepped a handsome young man—with their daughters!

"Mom! Dad!"

Yuuki's eyes lit up as she ran into their arms.

"Yuuki? Ran? What's going on?"

Their parents were completely baffled.

Why were their daughters suddenly here?

"Let's go to another world together!" Yuuki said with joy.

"This man is Kami-sama from another world!"

"He already healed us. We don't have to go to the hospital anymore!"

Yuuki beamed as she explained everything quickly.

Her parents looked at each other, disbelief on their faces.

But the space rift said otherwise.

Before long, the entire family was weeping with joy.

"Thank you, Kami-sama. Thank you so much."

Takumi couldn't help but smile at the heartfelt scene.

Once everyone calmed down a bit, he finally spoke up.

"If there's anything you need, bring it along now."

"We'll talk more once we're in the other world."

The family snapped out of their emotions.

"Yes, please give us a moment!" Ran and Yuuki's father replied hurriedly.

They didn't have much left.

Everything valuable had already been sold to afford medical care.

Just a few changes of clothes were all they needed.

A god had chosen them. That alone was a great honor.

They didn't question why. There was no need.

They were ready to follow him.

After a short wait, the family came downstairs.

They had packed what little they needed.

The sisters had changed out of their hospital clothes.

Seeing that they were ready, Takumi said,

"Please enter my dimension first. It'll only be a few minutes."

He opened up the Imaginary Space.

The Konno family stepped inside without hesitation.

Once they were in, Takumi turned and began his return journey.

He had already extracted the core of SAO.

Kayaba Akihiko's data—or perhaps soul—was now in his hands.

After uploading his consciousness to the network, Kayaba had ended his own life.

His mind, his thoughts—everything—had been digitized.

And now, that data was in Takumi's possession.

All that was left was to create a new body and extract him from the data.

It would be a good experiment.

If successful, perhaps even others—like that pink-haired fairy—could be revived someday.

With that thought, Takumi concluded his journey in this world.

He returned to his own realm.

Once home, he summoned the robots to help settle the new arrivals.
