Chapter 193: Let's Meet Up Tonight

Vilvi was still wandering around Alice's world. When Takumi returned, he merely sent them a message. When they would return was entirely up to them. Takumi wasn't bothered at all, since the passage between the two worlds was now open.

Bronya nodded in agreement with Takumi's suggestion. "I'll go find her!" Indeed, if you wanted to learn mechanics, Vilvi was definitely the right choice. That super engineer was truly formidable.

"Most people are here now."

"Let's have a get-together tonight."

"I'll ask the others in the group if they want to come."

"I'll post a task and have everyone come over."

"We'll have an offline meetup."

Takumi glanced at the people present, then suddenly had this idea. There were almost twenty people in the group now. Since that was the case, why not invite everyone to gather?

Hearing this, Zhongli was moved. "That sounds good! Ask in the group!" Zhongli was completely on board with the idea.

"A get-together? No problem!" Bronya naturally had no objections. Miori Shiba would just listen to Takumi anyway. Seeing everyone agree, Takumi started sending messages in the group chat.

Takumi: [@Everyone, come to the meetup tonight! Let's all meet in person!] [Are you coming? If you want to come, I'll post a task. Just come over and return the points to me.]

Takumi was extremely justified in using the group's resources for this. If anyone wanted to come, he'd just post a task and let them do so.

As soon as Takumi sent his message, people in the group began to respond one after another.

Fujiwara Chika: [Support, support!!]

Sagiri: [Absolutely agree!!]

Houraisan Kaguya: [Send it!]

Himeko: [I have no problem with that. If I can bring friends, that would be even better.]

Saten Ruiko: [!!!!] [I just got back, QAQ!!!]

Suoh Mikoto: [If possible, @Takumi, could you lend me a bracelet? I want to bring my whole clan.]

Ais: [I want to go... no problem for me!]

The people who weren't in the group didn't have any objections either. Ruiko was a bit frustrated, though. She'd just gotten back, and now there was going to be another party? Goodness, what a situation!

Takumi: [Space bracelets are no problem, just let me know if you need one and I'll send it to you later.] [@Saten Ruiko, just find a bathroom later and come over.] [You'll return afterward, so there's no issue.]

Since everyone was fine with it, things would be easy to arrange!

After saying all this, Takumi started taking action. He first posted a task in the group, putting 20,000 points into it, and set no limits on group members. The task name was as plain as could be: "Offline Meetup." The task was immediately released.

Once that was done, Takumi began distributing the space bracelets.

Himeko planned to bring everyone from the train.

Kaguya planned to bring Eirin and the others.

Mei planned to bring Kiana and her group.

Suoh Mikoto's clan.

Boros planned to bring Saitama and his disciple.

Ruiko didn't need one, as she was coming alone. She had no intention of telling Misaka Mikoto and the others about the group's affairs—her world was just too dangerous. Ais was also planning to bring Loki along.

After distributing all the bracelets, Takumi made an announcement in the group.

Takumi: [Eight o'clock tonight, see you all there.] [I'm off to prepare some food and drinks now.]

With that, Takumi closed the group chat, then set off with Zhongli to make preparations. Meanwhile, Asuna and the others began to gather at Takumi's villa. Once Takumi got back, he could just expand the villa.

Takumi took Zhongli back to the world of Toriko. Zhongli went out to gather ingredients, while Takumi went to IGO to find some fine wine. Surely Ichiryu would have plenty of treasures in his collection? So Takumi shamelessly went to ask Ichiryu for some.

Ichiryu didn't refuse Takumi's request and generously brought out a large amount of fine wine from the IGO warehouse. There was all kinds of it—he moved out more than half the stock, which was extremely generous. Takumi happily accepted everything, then exchanged a few pleasantries with Ichiryu before heading off to gather gourmet ingredients.

Considering many ordinary people would be attending, Takumi chose ingredients that weren't too high-level. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle it without gourmet cells—it could even harm them. Besides that, Takumi also called Komatsu over to help with the preparations for tonight's food.

After a flurry of activity, Takumi finally returned to his own world, Zhongli right behind him. When everything was ready and Takumi returned to the villa, some people had already arrived. Kaguya was the first to show up, bringing Eirin with her. Mei and her group had also arrived.

Now, Takumi's villa was packed with girls. Seeing Takumi return, Kaguya immediately complained, "You really need to expand your house. Otherwise, we won't be able to hold the meetup tonight!"

With more people, the space seemed to shrink. Hearing this, Takumi nodded, then snapped his fingers. Instantly, the place where everyone was standing underwent a complete transformation. The villa's garden expanded several dozen times, and even the villa itself grew. In addition, Takumi created a whole series of landscaped gardens.

Seeing this, Eirin and Reisen, who had come along, were shocked. What a terrifying person. Yagokoro Eirin looked at Takumi, her face deadly serious. But soon she let it go—he was a close friend of the princess, and their relationship was quite good, so there was nothing to worry about.

Once everything was ready, Takumi said to everyone, "You all enjoy yourselves for now. I'm taking Komatsu to the kitchen."

With that, he led the confused Komatsu to the kitchen area and put him in charge. A number of robots also helped with the preparations. Once all was settled, Takumi returned outside to mingle with everyone.

Before long, Suoh Mikoto arrived, along with Boros. Boros's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"An alien?" Kiana was shocked to see Boros. Was there even an alien in Takumi's circle of friends?

"Idiot, didn't I already tell you?" Mei rolled her eyes at Kiana.

"Huh? Mei, you told me?" Kiana blinked, looking at Bronya. Had she? Had she?

Bronya ignored her completely. Xilin looked on with disdain. "Hmph! Single-celled organism! Foolish little sister. Can't even remember that?"
