Takumi adjusted the terminal, then arranged a few robots and residential houses for them to stay in. Once everything was settled, he nodded in satisfaction.
"I'll leave this place to you all from now on." "If anything comes up, contact Prometheus at any time."
With all that arranged, Takumi turned to Keqing and spoke.
Hearing Takumi, Keqing nodded.
"Got it!" "Ganyu already told me on the way here." "If anything happens, I can also contact Miss Saint Sovereign." "Don't worry, Mr. Takumi, we'll be fine."
They were essentially here to pioneer the place, with robots assisting in building homes, so the workload wouldn't be too much. Besides, the terminal could help them handle a lot of the work.
Hearing Keqing's response, Takumi nodded.
"Then I'll take my leave first." "You all carry on."
After taking care of everything, Takumi promptly left. If anything came up, he'd just have them contact Prometheus.
After Takumi departed, Keqing gathered everyone and began explaining the upcoming plans. Aside from designing their version of Liyue Harbor, some of them also had to study in this world. Keqing was no exception—she also planned to further her education here.
Ganyu had told her that this world had too much to learn, so she intended to study diligently.
Once everything was arranged, Keqing took out a small slip of paper Ganyu gave her and promptly added the Saint Sovereign as a friend. On the other end, the Saint Sovereign approved the request immediately, having been informed by Prometheus who had added her.
Learning that Keqing came from Ganyu's world, the Saint Sovereign quickly understood that Ganyu must've given her the contact.
After the friend request was accepted, the two began chatting.
Meanwhile, Takumi returned home and opened the group chat, planning to tell Zhongli about Keqing's situation. But just as he entered, someone tagged him.
Fujiwara Chika: [@Takumi, there's a mission!] [Hurry up and join in, where are you?]
Takumi: [Here!] [@Zhongli, I just finished arranging Keqing's matters.] [What's the mission?]
The first group mission?
Just after sending the message, Nakiri Alice chimed in.
Nakiri Alice: [Image] [It's a mission in our world!!] [This is insane, the two worlds are actually fusing?]
Upon seeing that, Takumi quickly opened the image Alice had sent to take a look.
Mission: [World Fusion] Description: [The Gourmet Hunter world is colliding and fusing with the Food Wars world. Ensure minimal casualties among the Food Wars humans and maintain a stable fusion between the two worlds.]
Participation Limit: None Reward: [100,000 points distributed based on individual contributions.] [Permanent World Gate]
Reading the mission details, Takumi's eyes lit up.
100,000 points? And distributed based on personal contribution.
Takumi: [I'll take this mission!] [Who else wants in?]
Since there was no participation limit, did that mean everyone could join?
Fujiwara Chika: [Me me me me!!] [I want to go!] [Perfect, it's summer vacation!!]
Kato Megumi: [I won't go... I'm too weak.]
Yuki Asuna: [I want to... but I'm afraid I'll be a burden.]
Yuu: [I'm going to play!]
Himeko: [Tempting, but I've got things to handle right now, so I'll pass.]
Akeno: [I'll go!] [By the way, can I bring someone along? I want to bring the club president.]
Bronya: [I'll go too. I've already handed over my company to a professional manager.]
Raiden Mei: [Currently in special training... can't go.]
Saten Ruiko: [I want to, but I'm afraid I'll drag you all down!!]
Boros: [? Doing missions now?]
Boros was ready to explode. He couldn't go right now—he had already agreed to another battle with Saitama.
Thinking about it, he decided to give up. Since there was a mission now, there'd surely be others in the future.
Suoh Mikoto: [I'm not going either, I'm hunting down the Colorless King.]
Shiba Mio: [@Takumi, wait for me, I'll be back soon!!]
Suoh Mikoto didn't have the time either. He had finally cornered that guy, and now wasn't the time to stop.
Quite a few people in the group wanted to go, but were worried they'd be burdens.
Zhongli: [If you can go, then go.] [It's not like you have to fight.] [You can just go and earn some points.]
Zhongli had seen the conversation and thought it was a good opportunity for normal people to earn points. No limit on participants meant they could all go. They could even enjoy some food while they were at it.
Seeing Zhongli's message, Kato Megumi and Asuna were tempted.
Was it really okay?
Fujiwara Chika: [Exactly! What are you scared of, just come along!] [Just farm some points.] [@Sagiri, want to come?]
Chika was all fired up. She hadn't fought since gaining her powers. This time, fighting ingredients sounded pretty great.
Sagiri: [Have class... so I won't go.]
She decided to pass. She never intended to join from the start—she had school now.
There was no summer vacation at the magic academy. It had just started. Takumi had actually planned this timing so others in the group could study in this world without overlap.
Takumi: [If you want to go, all 270 of you can.] [Farming points isn't a bad idea.]
Takumi agreed with Zhongli's suggestion. It really was a good chance to earn points.
But what intrigued Takumi even more was the second reward—
A Permanent World Gate? Could it link to Nakiri Alice's world?
If so, that'd be amazing.
Just thinking about it got Takumi very interested.
Kato Megumi: [Then... I'll try. I'll go tell my mom!]
Yuki Asuna: [I'll go tell someone too!!]
The two of them didn't hesitate and decided to go see for themselves. Maybe they could snag some points. Even if they got the minimum, it'd be worth it—or at the very least, a fun trip.
Takumi: [Too bad the others can't make it.] [Otherwise this could've been an in-person meetup.] [But it's fine. I'll post a mission later and invite everyone to my world.] [Then you'll owe me points.]
If everyone could come, they could treat it as a group meetup. Unfortunately, not for now.
Akeno: [@Takumi, Takumi-kun, lend me a spatial bracelet.]
Akeno hurriedly spoke up, asking Takumi to lend her a spatial bracelet. This time, she planned to bring Rias and the others with her.
