Chapter 119: I Don't Want a Cross-World Internet Romance With You!
Zhongli looked at Takumi's message with a speechless expression.
Seriously? "Give one to my wife too"?
Even Zhongli found himself dumbfounded by Takumi's words.
Takumi: [Hu Tao, Ningguang, Keqing, Yelan, Ganyu...] [These are all my beloved wives.] [So please give each of them one too.]
Takumi straightforwardly wrote a long list. Even though he hadn't met them, it was always good to build connections early.
"This is from your future husband whom you haven't met yet."
Zhongli: [You'd better deliver them yourself.]
Saying that, he returned a few of the items to Takumi. Besides, it wouldn't have much effect even if he handed them over.
So it was better to let Takumi handle it himself. Zhongli only kept one for himself. As for the Serenitea Pot, he'd give it to Madam Ping later.
Seeing the returned items, Takumi shrugged.
Well, I'll just give them personally when I get the chance. Thinking so, Takumi stored them away. Then he casually put them up for sale in the shop.
System evaluation: 20,000 points.
When Takumi saw the price, he raised an eyebrow. "That cheap?" He muttered to himself.
He didn't bother thinking too much and directly uploaded 50 units. Then he returned to the group chat.
Fujiwara Chika: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!] Bronya: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!] Sagiri: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!! 237] Akeno: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!] Himeko: [@Takumi, onii-chan, look at me!!]
The whole group turned into a bunch of repeating parrots. Everyone saw it. Everyone wanted one.
Takumi: [Call me husband!]
Miori Shiba: [Husband!]
Fujiwara Chika: [????] [Wait, you really called him that?!]
Sagiri: [(ΩДΩ)] Bronya: [6!!!] Yuu: [!!!!] Asuna: [Σ(⊙▽⊙a)] Megumi Katou: [o((⊙﹏⊙))o] Raiden Mei: [(ΩДΩ)]
Miori Shiba's sudden "husband" shocked the entire group.
"You really went and said it?"
Miori Shiba: [He is my husband, you know!] [What's the problem?]
Miori Shiba had never backed down. Since yesterday, Takumi had been her husband. What's the issue?
Yuu: [Since when?!] Shocked! How did she not know? They were always together!
The others were shocked too. When did these two start?
Takumi: [You're all my wings!] [No need to be jealous!!]
What kind of reaction is this? Don't be so shocked.
Bronya: [Are you out of your mind!!] [Not doing an online romance with you!!]
Especially not a cross-world one! No way.
Takumi: [Huh? You actually thought about it?] [You actually seriously considered it?]
Shocked. What do you mean "not doing an online romance"? Did she really think about it seriously?
Bronya: [!!!!]
She didn't want to speak. Takumi just laughed.
Just as he was about to say something more, Raiden Mei suddenly tagged him in the group.
Raiden Mei: [@Takumi, help me!!] [Kiana has already become the Herrscher of the Void.]
Then, Mei directly posted a mission in the group. She dumped all her points into it.
Seeing this, Takumi was shocked. So sudden!!
After Mei posted the mission, she went offline. Takumi acted immediately. He tagged Bronya.
Takumi: [@Bronya, still want to go?]
With a smirk, Takumi typed. "Let's meet, then."
After posting in the group, Takumi headed out.
Bronya felt a bit surprised but accepted the mission right away. She'd wanted to meet the other Bronya for a while.
Takumi and Bronya departed together. When they appeared again, they had arrived in Bronya's world — the world of Honkai.
Takumi was on full alert. Any strange movement and he'd flee immediately.
But unexpectedly —
As soon as he entered, he wasn't met by danger.
Instead, he was welcomed by a joyful will.
Feeling it, Takumi froze. It was like… coming home.
"Huh?" "This is really strange!"
This feeling was odd, but strangely comforting.
With that, Takumi relaxed.
"So this is Mei's world?"
Next to him, Bronya looked around curiously. Many places were eerily similar to her own world.
"Yeah." "Feels familiar, doesn't it?"
Hearing Bronya's voice, Takumi turned toward her. She was wearing a work uniform and had her hair tied in a high ponytail.
She looked sharp and capable — clearly just came out from work. She even had her ID badge on.
Noticing Takumi's gaze, Bronya gave him a side-eye and quietly put her badge away.
"Don't stare!" "What are we doing next?"
What a troublesome guy. Control yourself.
"Obviously, we're heading to the Hyperion as janitors first!" "They're already fighting over there."
Takumi looked toward the other side of the city. He could sense two powerful Honkai energy sources clashing.
Mei and Kiana. The Hyperion was already on its way.
The city had become a playground for collapse. Honkai energy was dense to the extreme.
Takumi glanced at Bronya. She wasn't being eroded.
He sighed in relief.
Good. No signs of Honkai infection.
Then, Takumi opened a standard portal and walked through.
Bronya quickly followed.
Onboard the Hyperion. Bronya, Theresa, and others were gathered. Tesla and others were there too.
As they watched the two Herrschers battling on screen with serious expressions…
Suddenly, loud alarms blared across the ship.
Everyone's faces changed.
Honkai energy — here?
In the next moment, a spatial rift opened.
Seeing it, Bronya, Theresa, and Himeko immediately went into combat mode.
But the next second, everyone froze.
Takumi and Bronya stepped out from the rift.
Bronya on board stared in disbelief. That was her — all grown up?
And that gear — was that augmentation armor? She had that much potential?
A strange, overwhelming joy filled her heart.
"Eh? Bronya?"
Not just her — everyone on the Hyperion recognized her.
Bronya as an adult?
What the heck was going on?
