Takumi's world now had an abundance of different races.
Apart from those from the No Game No Life world, many races had come from other fused worlds.
Even ogres and other such species were included.
The slime universe alone introduced a multitude of races.
However, it seemed like the dragon race and draconic kin were on the verge of conflict.
Takumi didn't know the specifics.
He and Kirasaka Sayaka had been chatting in the café for quite a while.
After gathering all the information she needed, Sayaka couldn't help but ask:
"So, what are you doing in this world?"
"Is there something specific you're here for?"
"Don't tell me... are you also here to slay gods?"
Sayaka was very curious.
What was Takumi's purpose in coming to this world?
Was he like those others who came to slay gods?
Nowadays, the Heretic Gods were being treated like wild bosses.
A lot of people were very interested in them.
But apparently, only humans could acquire Authorities from slaying gods.
She wasn't entirely sure.
After all, she had never met a God Slayer.
"I'm here to find someone."
"And the time's just about right."
"She should be heading home soon."
"Let's part ways for now."
"If fate allows, we'll meet again."
Takumi glanced at the time and smiled.
Natsuki Minamiya should be finishing school by now.
It was time to head over.
Sayaka was slightly taken aback.
"Then... how do we contact each other next time?"
It seemed that without a way to communicate, they might never meet again in this vast world.
Hearing her concern, Takumi handed her a terminal.
"Here."
"This is a terminal from my world."
"It works in your world too."
"Just use this to contact me."
Sayaka's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Without hesitation, she accepted it.
Then, under Takumi's guidance, she began learning how to use it.
Takumi also shared his contact info with her.
If she needed to reach him, Prometheus inside the terminal could assist.
"Thanks for today."
"Next time, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Sayaka was genuinely happy.
Takumi might just be her first male friend.
And she had essentially completed her mission.
She just needed to send this information back to the Lion King Agency.
Then she could set off for Takumi's world.
Takumi nodded.
Without lingering further, he said goodbye and left for Natsuki Minamiya's apartment.
After leaving the café, Takumi vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of a luxury apartment complex.
Takumi scanned the surroundings, then walked inside.
He pressed the button for the floor where Natsuki Minamiya lived.
Riding the elevator, Takumi soon arrived at her door.
He sensed her presence inside and confirmed she was home.
Only then did he ring the doorbell.
Inside, Natsuki Minamiya was drinking black tea with Akaya Sendougi when she heard the bell.
Who could it be?
Puzzled, she quickly got up to answer.
Akaya was also confused.
Did Natsuki Minamiya have other friends?
She couldn't understand it.
When Natsuki opened the door, she saw Takumi standing outside.
She was momentarily stunned.
Takumi?
"Hello~!"
"Sorry to drop by unannounced."
Natsuki Minamiya was a bit bewildered by his words.
"Mr. Takumi?"
She already knew his identity.
This absolute ruler from another world.
That was exactly why she was so stunned.
Why had he come to see her?
She didn't get it.
Still confused, she quickly stepped aside to let him in.
Takumi didn't stand on ceremony.
He walked right into her home.
Akaya also noticed the man entering.
Seeing Takumi, she was surprised.
Takumi?
She had heard everything from their earlier conversation.
Although she was under house arrest by Natsuki Minamiya,
Natsuki had still shared information about the other world with her.
After all, Akaya had been there herself.
So she knew Takumi's identity.
"The main reason I came here today is to see your friend,"
Takumi said after entering, turning his gaze toward Akaya.
Natsuki Minamiya was even more confused.
"You're here to see Akaya?"
Akaya herself was puzzled.
Why was he looking for her?
"Yes."
"I need magic books from your world."
"That's why I came to find the LCO's secretary."
"Miss Akaya Sendougi, I'd like to make a deal with you."
Takumi got straight to the point and revealed his purpose.
Hearing this, Akaya was stunned.
"But don't you already possess many magical tomes, Mr. Takumi?"
"Why do you still need ours?"
"Surely, your magic is stronger than what we have here."
From her understanding, Takumi's magic was far more powerful.
She had heard as much.
She knew Takumi possessed terrifying magical knowledge.
Word had already spread from his world.
And anyone could study it.
"But who ever complains about having too much money?"
"I've always been collecting magical knowledge."
"If you're willing to hand over your books, Miss Akaya Sendougi,"
"I'll grant you one small request."
"As long as it's within my power."
Takumi was generous, laying his offer out clearly.
Hearing that, Akaya was momentarily speechless.
Natsuki Minamiya didn't interrupt, letting the two talk.
Her gaze shifted to Akaya.
"Mr. Takumi, I heard you can travel to other worlds."
"Then, do you know of any places where magic doesn't exist?"
"I'd like to see them."
Her eyes were full of hope.
Takumi should be able to help her fulfill that wish, right?
He wasn't surprised by her request.
He had expected it.
She'd always held that obsession.
"A world without magic, huh?"
"There are quite a few."
"Just by visiting my world, you'd see one."
"Though nowadays, even that world seems to have magic."
"If you really want to go, I can send you there in the future."
"Now that I think about it, all those people from magic-less worlds have come to mine."
At the moment, he didn't have the means.
But plenty in the group chat came from ordinary worlds.
Although, now they all resided in his world.
Maybe he should just drop Akaya into Suoh Mikoto's world?
