Chapter 296 Stirring Things Up

Ruiko Saten released Takumi and Bronya from the spatial bangle.

Seeing the two of them, her face lit up with happiness.

However, before she could say anything, Takumi spoke first.

"So you really were being watched."

"Aleister, Aiwass, greetings."

Ruiko's smile instantly froze.

The next moment, the world spun around her.

She suddenly found herself and Bronya in a windowless building.

Immediately, she saw the man suspended upside down in a tank.

And beside him, an angelic being radiating light floated.

Ruiko stared blankly.

Takumi had taken her straight to the big bald boss?

Aleister and Aiwass looked at Takumi with serious expressions.

"You, the visitor from another world," Aleister said, "Greetings."

Sensing the aura on Takumi and Bronya that was completely foreign to their world, Aleister instantly understood.

These two weren't from this dimension.

Although Ruiko had visited Takumi's world, she hadn't absorbed much Honkai energy.

Had she stayed longer and her energy fully converted, she would've immediately been summoned for a meeting upon return.

"Aleister, Aiwass."

"I'm Takumi, and this is Bronya."

"Pleased to meet you. Sorry for the sudden visit."

Takumi smiled as he spoke.

He briefly sensed the power radiating from Aiwass.

Hmm... he could eliminate him at any moment.

He also felt the presence of the Magic Gods of this world.

Luckily, they hadn't taken notice of him.

Aleister and Aiwass probably only noticed Takumi due to their obsessive surveillance of Ruiko.

Ruiko was feeling a bit stifled, yet also somewhat relieved.

She had always known she was being watched.

Still, she hadn't expected to end up face-to-face with Aleister as soon as Takumi arrived.

"Greetings to you both. This is truly unbelievable. Another world..."

Aleister's eyes bore into Takumi.

The more he sensed, the more shocked he became.

The culture tank was now bubbling wildly, showing just how agitated he was.

"What kind of power is this?"

"You've mastered various physical laws?"

Aiwass also spoke up, eyes filled with awe.

As a scientific-side angel, he was stunned by the forces Takumi controlled.

All kinds of physical principles were visibly embodied within Takumi.

And that wasn't all—there were other mysterious forces as well.

"No need to observe me."

"You won't understand my existence, and I can't be bothered to explain."

"Yes, I've mastered all the physical laws. No need to be so shocked."

Takumi didn't deny it, but he wasn't interested in giving a lengthy explanation either.

You wouldn't get it, and explaining would be a waste of breath.

So he chose not to.

Aiwass and Aleister fell silent.

At least explain a bit! How do you know we wouldn't understand?

Still, if Takumi didn't want to talk, they couldn't force him.

"Is the change in this girl due to your involvement?"

"Someone who originally had no talent suddenly gaining esper powers... it all makes sense now."

"Indeed. It's related to me."

"She said she was being watched, so I came to take a look."

"You don't mind, right?"

Takumi smiled as he looked at Aleister.

Aleister was speechless.

Do I mind? What use would that be?

Seems I'll need to rein in some of the people below me.

With that thought, Aleister made a decision.

"I'll handle it. No one will bother her from now on."

He sent out some orders immediately.

"Much appreciated. Thanks for cooperating."

"I just wanted to take a look at your world this time."

"Oh, right. Since we're meeting for the first time, here's a little gift."

Takumi suddenly grinned.

Before Aiwass could react, Takumi directly implanted a memory into Aleister's mind.

Aleister also didn't react in time.

Suddenly, there was a novel in his mind.

As he skimmed through its content, his expression changed dramatically.

"This...?"

Looking at the novel's contents, he was stunned.

"Think of it as a possible future of your world," Takumi said.

"Just for reference, of course. The future's already changed."

That's right. Takumi had given him the Index of Forbidden Books series.

It didn't matter much.

He had come here, so he had to leave behind some local specialties.

As long as they didn't target Ruiko, everything else was fine.

As for the Magic Gods?

Do whatever you want with them.

Who knows, maybe Ruiko would end up escaping to Takumi's world permanently.

At that moment, Ruiko looked at Takumi, dumbfounded.

Huh?

Did Takumi just give Aleister the future of this world?

She was completely shaken.

Was he trying to stir things up?

Ruiko:

[!!!]

[Takumi, what are you doing!!]

[Why would you give Aleister the Index series?!]

[ヽ(*.Д)o゜]

She couldn't speak out loud right now.

So she could only question him in the chat group.

Seeing the message pop up, Takumi casually glanced at her.

Takumi:

[Because it's fun, of course.]

[Besides, you might just end up leaving for my world anyway, so it doesn't matter.]

[Maybe with this glimpse of the future, Aleister's plans will actually succeed.]

[Maybe your world's Magic Gods will really be taken out.]

[It's no big deal.]

Aleister's ultimate goal was to eliminate all divine beings, including the Magic Gods.

Takumi thought that was pretty cool.

So he offered some support.

Chika Fujiwara:

[You're totally stirring things up!!]

Bronya:

[He's really going for it. Now that Aleister knows the future, a lot of his plans are bound to change.]

Takumi:

[Who knows? Maybe.]

He honestly didn't care how things would unfold.

It wasn't his concern.

"Thanks for the gift."

"Now, what do you want in return?"

Aleister didn't believe in free lunches.

If Takumi gave him all this, surely he wanted something in return.

"I want quite a few things."

"Give me a Misaka clone later. Oh, and a hundred thousand lewd magic books."

"Also, I'll be having some fun here, so don't interfere."

Takumi didn't hide his intentions.

He made it clear what he wanted.

He wanted a Misaka clone, a mountain of forbidden grimoires, and a few other items he didn't even bother listing.

As long as they didn't interfere, everything would be fine.
