Chapter 309: Go Find the Little Bee

Kamijou Touma was entirely convinced by what Takumi had said. Once everything was confirmed to be fine, Takumi began the process.

This deal was mutually beneficial to both parties.

Takumi started using Honkai energy to apply a new layer of sealing to Touma's arm, making sure the power within it would no longer negatively affect him.

It was quite a troublesome process. Thankfully, the people around them were already under the influence of Takumi's abilities. Otherwise, everyone's eyes would be drawn toward them.

Even when the waiter brought their food, they didn't seem to notice Takumi or Touma, as if the two of them were invisible.

Naturally, the food was devoured by Index.

Bronya wasn't interested in eating. What fascinated her more was watching Index eat.

By the time Takumi finished setting up the seal, more than ten minutes had passed.

"Done! Your arm is now sealed. You should be able to feel it, right? That's not your imagination."

Takumi beamed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Kamijou Touma concentrated and sensed the change.

"I can feel it. It's amazing. So... does this mean I won't be unlucky anymore?"

His voice grew more excited as he asked.

"Of course. You can test it out. This power comes from another world."

As he said this, Takumi formed a glowing green energy sphere in his hand—the Atomic Collapse.

Seeing the energy sphere, Touma was momentarily stunned.

Takumi brought it right up to him. As he felt the energy radiating from it, sweat began to bead on Touma's forehead. It was dangerously powerful.

Still, he reached out to touch it, deliberately not deactivating his ability.

As soon as he approached, he felt a tingling sensation followed by a burning heat.

And yet, the energy remained undispersed.

Excited, Touma activated his ability.

With a crisp snap, the green sphere vanished entirely.

Seeing this, Touma was overjoyed.

"This... this is real!!"

"As you can see. It's done."

Takumi picked up his coffee and sipped it calmly.

"Thank you!"

Kamijou Touma earnestly expressed his gratitude.

Now he didn't have to worry about being unlucky anymore. He had waited a long time for this day.

Thinking about it filled him with joy.

"Alright, everything's done. Let's eat. Consider it a celebration."

Takumi was very pleased. Another goal achieved.

That pretty much wrapped up everything he needed to do in this world.

Next up would be the Magic Gods. And maybe go meet the Little Bee.

Messing around in front of Bronya while flirting with other girls was... kinda thrilling, especially since their relationship had just become official yesterday.

The four of them sat and drank coffee for a while. After chatting a bit, Touma and Index prepared to leave.

But before they left, Touma hesitated and then asked,

"Will you guys come back to this world again?"

He had learned Takumi was from another world. If they left, would they return?

"I'm not sure. Maybe. But if you ever need to contact me, look for someone named Saten Ruiko. She's pretty famous now."

Ruiko had suddenly jumped from Level 0 to Level 4, so many people knew about her—she had even made the news.

Hearing this, Touma was surprised.

"Saten Ruiko? Got it."

He knew her, though they weren't close.

With that, he left with Index.

Now only Takumi and Bronya remained in the café.

"Everything's taken care of. So where to next?"

Bronya finished her coffee and looked toward Takumi.

"Let's stroll around for a while. Maybe we'll run into the Little Bee. Then I'll take you home, and after that, I'll go visit those Magic Gods. Might even kidnap the One-Eyed Princess."

Among the many Magic Gods, the One-Eyed Princess was the one who interested Takumi most.

She was extremely dangerous.

The others were manageable, but she truly sought to destroy the world and recreate it as she pleased.

But what if she were taken away instead?

Give her a planet where she could create as she wished.

Let her play god there. Problem solved.

Takumi and Bronya wandered the streets. When they reached a fashion district, he brought her into a boutique to buy a few professional outfits.

As they left with bags of clothing, Bronya stared expressionlessly at Takumi.

She clearly knew what he was thinking.

Of course, Bronya also understood herself well. After all, she was literally molded from Takumi's preferences.

She fulfilled all of his fantasies.

She wasn't sure whether to feel happy or sad about that.

They wandered until noon, then Takumi brought Bronya to a quiet restaurant for lunch.

Upon arriving, Bronya paused.

She looked at Takumi, then at a golden-haired, well-endowed middle schooler who had reserved the restaurant.

"Did you come here for her specifically?"

Wasn't that Shokuhou Misaki?

Takumi must have tracked her down and brought Bronya here intentionally.

"Yup. I locked on to her location. Since I'm here, of course I had to see her."

With that, he pulled Bronya along into the restaurant.

Bronya didn't know what to say.

This guy... he really was something.

Just yesterday they had made things official, and now here he was.

A small wave of grievance rose in Bronya's heart.

But then again, she knew his personality from the start.

Takumi was a hopeless flirt.

He had more than one girl back home.

...

The moment Takumi and Bronya entered, the presence of Shokuhou Misaki's subordinates was immediately alerted.

Just as they were about to step forward and speak, they suddenly froze and fell silent.

Shokuhou Misaki noticed it too and frowned.

She looked up and saw Takumi and Bronya.

Surprised, she picked up a remote and pressed a button toward them.

However... nothing happened.

After pressing several times, her expression changed.

Only then did she realize—the people around her had already been silently controlled by the man before her.

In that moment, Shokuhou Misaki began to panic.

Her subordinates were immobilized.

And her powers were useless.
