Takumi listened to Mobius's words and was left speechless.
Seriously, just like that?
She dumped him the moment she got what she needed?
So he had no value now?
Although a bit frustrated, Mobius was already busy.
She had Irisviel lie down on the operating table and began a full-body examination.
Seeing this, Takumi decided not to disturb them.
After all, some of the scenes might be a bit inappropriate for younger audiences.
These homunculi were as pure as blank pages.
They'd be gradually dyed in his colors later.
With that thought, Takumi turned and left.
Since he was already at the institute, he decided to look around.
The place was bustling with researchers.
Some were even from neighboring worlds.
They had come here to study.
From time to time, Takumi spotted a few elderly men.
No doubt they had come from Alice's world.
Hearing their habitual swearing, Takumi even felt a touch of familiarity.
National curses—classic.
After checking things out, he arrived at where Velvi was working.
She had actually built her Star Rail train—and it was ready to launch?
"You work that fast?"
"Who's the pilot?"
Seeing Velvi making final adjustments, Takumi approached her.
Hearing him, Velvi blinked.
"Of course it's Kosmo."
"Kosmo's the best pilot here."
"I'm sending him to explore the stars."
"First stop—Mars. He'll also help Dr. Mei transport some equipment."
Who else but Kosmo?
Besides, he wouldn't let anyone else take this chance.
Exploring the universe? That's peak hype!
Takumi chuckled.
"Is that so?"
"What's your exploration plan after Mars?"
Surely she wouldn't let Kosmo just wander aimlessly?
"After Mars, head to other galaxies."
"I don't even know if there are other alien races out there."
"So I'll just let Kosmo explore. We're bound to find something."
Even if they didn't find aliens, just launching was progress.
"In that case, how about heading here?"
Takumi handed Velvi a star chart with coordinates.
She froze upon seeing them.
She quickly had Prometheus check via the astronomy satellites.
"No need to check."
"There are several alien civilizations there."
"They're vicious too."
"They've conquered most of the nearby galaxies."
"A full-scale war is underway."
Seeing Velvi's reaction, Takumi grinned.
He explained the situation.
Hearing this, Velvi's eyes sparkled.
"Really?"
"Star Wars?"
"I get it now!!"
"Kosmo, did you hear that?"
"Bring extra people—there might be a galactic war!"
Velvi was beyond excited.
She shouted toward Kosmo.
Kosmo emerged from the train.
"Then I'll need a space fleet."
"Transfer the Moth of Fire personnel here."
Kosmo's eyes burned with passion.
A cosmic war—it was perfect.
Just imagining commanding battleships against aliens sent chills down his spine.
He was going.
"For sure, I'll arrange it."
"I'll get a fleet moving."
Velvi sprang into action.
Assembling a space fleet wasn't hard.
Kosmo left immediately to gather people.
He'd bring Kevin too—he had nothing better to do and had become a gourmet hunter.
Maybe ask Qianjie as well—though he probably wouldn't go.
Qianjie was a boss now, far from wanting adventure.
So Kosmo would focus on recruiting Kevin.
...
Watching the two busily plan, Takumi internally sighed.
These two really were impulsive.
Kosmo was completely immersed in his dream world now.
Piloting Gundams, commanding battleships—it was everything he'd ever wanted.
A classic chuunibyou.
Takumi smiled and left.
Time passed quickly, and Bronya and the others gradually began immigrating to Takumi's world.
He had Prometheus help them settle in.
Then he hosted a welcome reception.
There, he also met Kasyou Fei and Eriri.
The two were still stunned by the world.
Who would've thought isekai really existed?
And they could bring family too?
Everyone was still in shock.
Ai Hayasaka came with them as well.
Takumi smiled warmly at these once-fictional characters.
After welcoming them, he left.
Bronya, after settling her adoptive mother and the flower girls from the orphanage, moved into Takumi's house.
She even declared confidently:
"If you ever have a mission, take me along."
"So it's more convenient to live here."
Takumi was at a loss for words.
Still, if she wanted to live with him, he had no objections.
Though he suspected she might be after his body.
After arranging everything, Takumi received a message from Ruiko Saten.
Ruiko Saten:
[@takumi, beep beep beep!!]
[Boss, want to come to my world?]
[Mikoto found out about the Misaka Sisters.]
Takumi had promised her before that he'd visit.
Now that he had free time, he nodded.
Yeah, why not?
Takumi:
[Sure, no problem!]
[@shiroyasha, bro, are you still going?]
He hadn't forgotten shiroyasha.
That guy had said he'd come too.
shiroyasha:
[No... I'm not going.]
[I'm afraid I'll break that world!]
After thinking it over, shiroyasha declined.
He couldn't risk it.
And neither could Takumi, right?
shiroyasha:
[You sure you can go after your upgrade?]
[Wouldn't your current power overwhelm that world?]
[Are you sending your real body over?]
shiroyasha was confused.
Takumi planned to go himself?
He was way too strong now—could the world even handle it?
Takumi:
[No no no!]
[You underestimate me.]
[I just need to suppress my aura—pretend I'm a weakling. Easy as pie.]
Why send a clone?
Takumi now looked like a normal guy.
It didn't matter.
Honkai Energy could do anything.
