Chapter 144: Prometheus Can Find Her

Takumi had only picked up Dr. Mei so far.

The other members of the Moth of the Fire-Chasers were still waiting.

So, next, what Takumi needed to do was fish up the rest of the Moth of the Fire-Chasers.

After that, it would be time to head back.

It wasn't a large number of people.

Miori Shiba:

[Is that so? I understand.]

Mei had mentioned this in the group earlier.

If it's just a few people, then there's nothing much to prepare.

They could sort everything out once Takumi returned.

Takumi:

[@Raiden Mei, how are things inside the Imaginary Space?]

[Is Himeko alright?]

Takumi hadn't been paying much attention to what was going on in the Imaginary Space.

So, he had to ask now.

At the same time, Takumi didn't linger long and started heading back to the moon to pick up the rest of the Moth of the Fire-Chasers.

Raiden Mei:

[Himeko is just fine.]

[There are no problems.]

[Everything went smoothly.]

[Also, Kevin and the others have already told Mei-nee everything.]

[She's willing to follow everyone to your world.]

[Prometheus has also told everyone about the disappearance of the Honkai...]

At this point, Mei was a little speechless.

Takumi actually absorbed the Cocoon of Finality directly.

From now on, she would probably be considered one of Takumi's followers, right?

Takumi:

[Alright!]

[That settles it.]

Seeing Mei's message, Takumi's eyes lit up.

That meant everything was more or less finished.

With that in mind, Takumi started reviving the rest of the Moth of the Fire-Chasers with all his might.

Then, he sent them to the Imaginary Space.

Mei still wanted to say something.

But then, she saw Takumi start sending in a bunch of confused people.

When these people saw the Thirteen Flame-Chasers all there, they were overjoyed.

They immediately went up to greet everyone.

"Everyone's back!"

Seeing them, even Kevin, who always wore a cold expression, smiled.

"Alright, my work here is done."

"Mei already told me."

"Other than Kosma needing to find Griseo here, everyone else is willing to leave with me, right?"

Hearing Takumi, everyone nodded.

That was exactly it.

Everyone wanted to leave this world with Takumi.

Except for Kosma.

"If I find Griseo, I'll go too."

Kosma said this seriously.

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Takumi couldn't help but speak up:

"Prometheus, do you know where Griseo is right now?"

Kosma's eyes instantly lit up at these words.

Right, Prometheus should know, shouldn't she?

Prometheus tilted her head, then said:

"I need to go outside to search."

She didn't answer right away.

Here in the Imaginary Space, she couldn't connect to Griseo's ship.

Hearing this, Takumi was surprised.

"You really can get Griseo's coordinates?"

Now Takumi was genuinely shocked.

Prometheus could even do that?

"During the Ark Project, I left some backup measures."

"So yes, Prometheus can indeed find Griseo."

Dr. Mei spoke up now as well.

She knew about the backup she'd left, of course.

But since Kosma hadn't brought it up, she hadn't mentioned it.

Kosma was always like that—a quiet person.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Let's send Mei and the others back while we're at it."

At this point, Takumi looked around at the group.

And then… Takumi was at a loss for words.

By this time, Vilvi was already dismantling Takumi's ship.

Seeing this, the corner of Takumi's mouth twitched.

Forget it—she'd be his engineer from now on, after all.

He might as well spoil her.

Thinking this, Takumi directly opened a passage to St. Freya Academy and walked out.

At that moment, theresa and the others were waiting.

Detecting a reaction from the Honkai energy, theresa , Cecilia, and Ciel hurried out.

They immediately saw all the people Takumi had brought back.

Two Meis?

Two Bronyas?

theresa was shocked!

Why did everyone look exactly alike?

As soon as they returned, Kosma immediately asked Prometheus to hurry up and find Griseo.

Prometheus didn't hesitate at all.

She began connecting to the hidden servers and communicating with Griseo's ship.

And pinpointed her location.

"So this is the current civilization?"

"Completely different style."

Dr. Mei adjusted her glasses.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar buildings around her.

There was no trace of the previous civilization left.

Sure enough, this world no longer belonged to them.

They really were remnants of a bygone era.

"Kiana, Sirin!"

Cecilia ran over.

Hearing her mom's voice, Kiana immediately grinned foolishly.

Honestly, these past few days had given her a psychological shadow.

Those Flame-Chasers from the previous era were all monsters.

Even joining forces, the girls couldn't beat a single one.

It was honestly ridiculous.

Only Mei managed to hold out for a bit longer.

The others were defeated in a single round.

Especially Qianjie—he was way too fierce in battle.

But they did gain something from this.

Especially Kiana.

Kevin taught her a lot about the Kaslana family and how to use their power.

After all, Kevin was the ancestor of the Kaslana family.

So Kiana learned the most.

Bronya, on the other hand, got a ton of knowledge poured into her by Vilvi.

It was like a direct download of technology.

She was probably the one who improved her strength the most in the shortest time.

During this period, Bronya even wondered—

If she handed over the Herrscher of Reason to Vilvi, what would happen?

Over these days, they'd all gotten a sense of just how strong the previous era's Flame-Chasers were.

In every sense of the word.

After Takumi brought everyone back, he started saying his goodbyes to Mei.

"Well then, Mei, I'll be going now!"

"If anything comes up, just message me in the group."

Mei nodded at Takumi's words.

"Alright!"

"Thanks for everything this time."

"You were a huge help."

Even though Takumi had his own agenda, there was no denying that he had helped a lot.

Now, the whole world could finally settle down in peace.

Takumi smiled, saying nothing more.

This trip had really been worth it.

Dr. Mei and the others looked outside for a bit, then silently returned to the Imaginary Space.

From now on, this world was in their hands.

Maybe they'd return someday.

But that would probably be a long time from now.

For now, everyone was more curious about Takumi's world.

Takumi said his farewells to everyone.

Prometheus had already successfully locked onto Griseo's location.

"The Ark has been found."

"Coordinates: Milky Way...."

Prometheus began reporting the coordinates she'd found to Takumi.
