The technology behind magical armaments was already highly advanced.
Velvi had been developing it for a long time.
But there hadn't been any major breakthroughs so far.
Takumi had long since acquired all the data on magical armaments.
Perhaps, in the future, Dr. Mei could combine knowledge from other worlds to create even stronger magical armaments.
But that would definitely not be right now.
Takumi never doubted these people's creativity.
They were the top scientists of the previous civilization.
Once they mastered technology from other worlds, their progress would no doubt be rapid.
Takumi had never doubted that.
Hearing Takumi say this, Elysia's eyes instantly sparkled.
"I really can't wait!"
This was just too exciting.
From now on, she'd have to keep an eye out and ask Mei for help making magical armaments that suited her.
"Doctors, I hope you'll thoroughly digest all the knowledge I've brought back."
"Then, put it to use for civilian life and work to fully develop this civilization."
"The stronger the civilization, the stronger I'll become."
"In the future, there might be collisions with other worlds."
"So I'll need your help."
Takumi spoke about all of this very seriously.
Although no one really knew how this world's spiritual revival came to be, Takumi was very concerned by traces he'd found in the dimensional rift.
If real enemies showed up someday, they would no doubt be extremely troublesome.
Dr. Mei was surprised to hear this.
But she nodded anyway.
So there really were enemies?
Dr. Mei had already guessed as much.
Otherwise, why would Takumi have brought them all here?
Takumi took everyone to Muroto Sumire's laboratory.
Then he introduced Mobius:
"This is Muroto Sumire, the head of biology here."
"Mobius, you'll be in charge of this place from now on."
With dark circles under her eyes, Muroto Sumire's face lit up at Takumi's words.
"Wonderful, finally someone to—er, someone to take over."
"Hello, I'm Muroto Sumire."
If Takumi had brought Mobius back and made her the head of biology, then Mobius must be extremely capable.
So Muroto Sumire had no objections to Takumi's arrangements.
Mobius raised her eyebrows at this.
She glanced around the place, curiosity taking over, and started browsing the data.
Seeing this, Takumi looked at Klein and the others.
"You guys should stay here, too."
"If you need anything, just ask Muroto Sumire or Prometheus."
"I'll take Dr. Mei and the others to continue the tour."
Upon hearing this, Klein and Dan Zhu Cangxuan nodded.
"Alright!"
None of the three had any objections.
They were all Mobius's assistants, after all.
Staying here made sense.
Next, Takumi continued showing the rest of the group around.
In the end, Velvi stayed in the mechanics department.
As for Dr. Mei, Takumi took her straight to the Academy's chief office.
"Dr. Mei, from now on, you'll be in charge of this research institute."
"Everything here is up to you."
"If you need any resources, just let me know."
Whether as a researcher or administrator, Dr. Mei was outstanding.
Strictly speaking, Dr. Mei was a lot like Otto—someone who would stop at nothing to reach her goals.
But Dr. Mei was more rational.
Takumi was fully confident in leaving this place in her hands.
Whatever future direction was taken, Dr. Mei would surely give Takumi a satisfactory answer.
Dr. Mei nodded in acceptance of Takumi's trust.
She agreed without hesitation.
She had finished touring the institute.
Everyone here came from different worlds, but there were still too few people.
"I hope you can bring more researchers back in the future."
"I've got a general idea of the situation here."
"There's lots of technology, but little of it is widely used."
"Most people are still in a learning phase."
"If you rely on just these few people, it'll never be enough."
She thought Takumi needed more researchers.
"Yeah… I know."
"That's why I'm always out recruiting people, isn't it?"
Takumi was, of course, well aware of this.
But what could he do? For now, it was all he could manage.
He'd just have to recruit more people in the future.
"Alright, I'll handle things here!"
Dr. Mei said nothing more.
As long as Takumi understood the situation, she'd do her job.
Before that, she'd need to really get a grasp on all the knowledge Takumi had collected.
Knowledge from several worlds… much of it was entirely new to her.
That made her very curious.
Once Dr. Mei's arrangements were complete, Takumi began organizing things for the others.
Aponia—Takumi asked her to become a teacher…
He also explained the situation with the cursed children.
After getting the details, Aponia understood what she had to do.
She'd be providing psychological counseling for those children and working part-time at the church.
In this world, there were real angels—so she was very interested in the place.
Kevin, meanwhile, stayed with Dr. Mei.
In the end, only Elysia, Eden, Sakura, and Pardo were left.
"Is there anything you'd like to do?"
"Master Qianjie, do you want to open a shop?"
Takumi looked at Qianjie, a smile on his face.
How about letting Qianjie sell ramen?
"Then I'll open a shop."
"I just want a peaceful life!"
Qianjie had no objections—in fact, he welcomed it.
Takumi nodded.
"Alright!"
"Open a shop, then."
He summoned a robot to lead Qianjie away.
A house and everything else would be arranged later.
"Griseo wants a studio."
Just then, Griseo spoke up.
She wanted an art studio!
"I'll be her security!"
Upon hearing this, Kosma immediately volunteered.
If Griseo was going to have an art studio, then he'd be her security guard.
"Sure!"
Takumi agreed.
Griseo smiled and nodded.
Then Takumi had a robot take them away.
At last, only a few people remained: Eden, Elysia, Sakura, and Pardo.
Seeing everyone else leaving, Pardo quickly raised her hand to make a request.
"I want a shop too, okay?"
"I want to be the boss!!"
Takumi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright!"
"Let's put your shop next to Qianjie's!"
Pardo was startled.
"No, no, no!"
"I don't want that!!"
She definitely didn't want to listen to Qianjie's foul mouth all day.
So, she wanted a different spot.
Seeing this, Takumi was speechless.
"Then tell the robot what kind of place you want."
"They'll arrange it for you."
If that's the case, she could just organize things herself.
Pardo's eyes lit up at once.
"Alright!"
And so, everything was decided.
Finally, only Elysia and Eden were left.
