Natsuki Minamiya stared blankly at the world before her.
She was utterly shocked.
This world was incredibly advanced.
And it had so many races.
She even saw some children transform on the spot.
It left her completely dumbfounded.
Takumi may not usually pay attention to the world's development, but others certainly hadn't been idle.
They had already begun importing all kinds of systems and conveniences—including advertisements.
Now, Takumi's world had become a thriving economic center, with companies springing up everywhere.
In this brand-new world, anyone with a bit of brains could make money.
Entire systems were already running smoothly.
Because of that, in just a short time, this place had completely transformed.
Natsuki walked through the streets holding a small parasol.
She was very curious about this world.
But she gradually noticed—there were a lot of children.
What was going on with all these kids?
There were so many of them!
She grew even more curious.
Wandering the streets, taking in the scenery, she eventually realized she was hungry.
Looking around, she noticed a nearby school.
There were quite a few people in school uniforms around here.
There should be something good to eat, right?
Thinking that, she scanned her surroundings and locked onto a ramen shop.
Ramen?
Sure, she'd try this world's ramen.
With that thought, she walked over.
There were still some students in the shop.
As she entered, she glanced at the signboard.
A bowl of ramen cost 30 credits?
Takumi had given her a thousand credits—still a decent amount of purchasing power.
Though it did seem a bit pricey.
She sniffed the air—Smells great!
"Welcome!"
"What would you like to eat?"
"Oh my, what a cute girl! Come in and find a seat."
At that moment, a server came up to her.
Who knew where this server had learned such speech?
To speak to customers like that?
Natsuki was dumbfounded by the comment.
She looked at the server, but said nothing.
Maybe this is just how service works in this world?
Even if the tone was a little weird.
Actually, all the servers here at Qianjie Ramen had been trained by Elysia.
They spoke in an overly sweet tone.
According to Elysia, "If your tone isn't pleasant, how can you serve customers properly?"
So the biggest instigator had personally taken over the training of all staff.
Even though Qianjie kept grumbling, he couldn't stop her.
Because Qianjie couldn't beat Elysia.
That's why now, every day, Qianjie had to listen to people speak in Elysia's chirpy tone.
Chatter chatter—so annoying.
It was truly bizarre.
Now even Master Qianjie had taken to hiding in the kitchen.
He didn't want to hear the voices outside.
"I'll have a deluxe chashu ramen."
Though it felt weird, Natsuki still placed her order. She was hungry.
"Got it!"
"Boss, one deluxe chashu ramen!"
"For a super cute girl, remember to add extra meat!"
The server shouted toward the kitchen.
But the reply was an angry roar.
"Get lost! Don't speak in that tone!!"
"What the hell did that damned Elysia teach you all???"
Qianjie swore furiously.
But the staff had long gotten used to it.
Miss Elysia had told them, though Qianjie had a foul mouth, he was a good person.
So they got used to it.
Just treat him as a tsundere.
In fact, Qianjie's sharp tongue sometimes rivaled that of Dr. Mobius.
Natsuki heard the yelling and was speechless.
What kind of customer service is this?
The boss inside sounded so grumpy.
But no one else seemed surprised by it.
She sighed inwardly and waited quietly.
After wandering all day, she had come to understand many things about this world.
Most of the people here had come from other worlds.
She also learned about Takumi's identity.
Honestly, she never expected that the first person she'd meet in this world would be its owner.
As she stared at her terminal, her ramen was brought to her shortly.
Looking at the bowl before her, the tempting aroma made her swallow unconsciously.
It smelled fantastic.
Without hesitation, she began to enjoy the local cuisine.
I wonder how the black tea tastes in this world?
I'll check it out later—and maybe earn some money while I'm at it.
I could buy some souvenirs to bring back.
Natsuki was truly getting more and more curious about this world.
Meanwhile, Takumi was busy arranging various tasks.
He handed Esdeath over to Lilia and told her to help Esdeath form an army.
What happened afterward would be left to them to figure out.
Besides that, Takumi also sent Agurora and the others to school.
Since they all wanted to study, then let them study.
As for Natsuki, he didn't give it much thought.
After handling everything, Takumi finally had some free time.
The group chat members were also getting ready—especially those planning to immigrate.
Bronya:
[@Takumi, I'm ready. I'll come over now.]
[I sold off the whole company and converted everything into gold.]
After returning, Bronya had started preparing right away.
Her gaming company was worth quite a bit.
The news went public in the morning, and the contract was signed that afternoon.
She immediately went to purchase a large amount of gold.
The plan was to bring it to Takumi's world and convert it into credit points.
Upon seeing Bronya's message, Takumi's eyes lit up.
Takumi:
[Great!]
[Where do you plan to live?]
[Still planning to stay at my place?]
This time, Bronya wasn't coming alone.
She was bringing all the flower girls from the orphanage—and her adoptive mother too.
Bronya:
[We'll talk about that later, no rush.]
[Seele might want to stay in the orphanage again…]
At this, she sounded rather helpless.
Her Seele loved doing volunteer work.
Even in another world, she'd probably be the same.
Takumi:
[Emm… whatever, I'll just arrange a villa for you when the time comes.]
[It's no big deal.]
[@Asuna Yuuki, @Megumi Katou, @Chika Fujiwara]
[When are you all coming over?]
After sorting things out with Bronya, Takumi turned to ask Megumi Katou, Asuna Yuuki, and Chika Fujiwara.
They were also preparing to move.
Megumi Katou:
[I'm ready here. I'll probably come by tonight.]
[It's mainly because Eriri's family is still selling their assets…]
Asuna Yuuki:
[I'm ready too. My dad's been selling everything off for a while now…]
She sounded very resigned.
Apparently, her father had started preparing long ago.
