Chapter 334: Lumine – "My Brother Is Dead!"

When Aether heard the news from Takumi, he was speechless.

What do you mean she's a streamer now?

As someone also from another world, he obviously knew what being a streamer meant. It looked like his sister was really enjoying herself over there.

Thinking of this, Aether fell silent.

So, what was he supposed to do next?

Ask Takumi to bring his sister back?

He glanced at the people present.

He couldn't beat them.

Moreover, this Takumi wasn't even his main body. Just a consciousness projection, yet so overwhelmingly powerful.

One could only imagine how terrifying the real body was.

For a moment, Aether had no idea what to do.

"Since you're already here, sit down," Zhongli said. "There are matters ahead that will require your presence."

Aether frowned. "What kind of matters?"

He didn't sit down. In fact, he was considering secretly escaping.

After all, the Seven Archons were not good people!!

They were the hands behind the destruction of Khaenri'ah.

Like he would treat them kindly.

"We're moving. Leaving this world."

Takumi smiled at him.

Hearing this, Aether's frown deepened. "Leaving this world?"

Seriously? These gods were planning to bail?

He glanced at Takumi.

Aether wasn't stupid. If anyone could take them out of this world, it was Takumi.

Was this guy's real reason for coming here to evacuate the people of Teyvat?

And the Seven Archons were all in on it.

Whoa.

"If we leave this world, the curse on Khaenri'ah might be lifted," the Cryo Archon said softly behind him.

Aether instantly sat down. "Tell me more!"

Actually, leaving this world didn't sound bad at all.

If even the Archons were fleeing, what reason did he have to stay behind?

Might as well pack up and run with them!

He also began to wonder: what would Celestia's reaction be when they woke up to find Teyvat empty?

Thinking about it, Aether couldn't hold back a grin.

Good, good! Let's do this!

He made up his mind on the spot.

Besides, since his sister was already in contact with Takumi, she'd probably end up in Takumi's world anyway.

He didn't know how Takumi managed to communicate across worlds, but that connection was clearly there.

So, leaving Teyvat for Takumi's world was a pretty good idea.

Takumi continued to discuss things with everyone from Teyvat for a long while.

In the end, they decided to first send a few representatives over to pick locations and start building cities.

From Inazuma, Yae Miko would be sent.

From Fontaine, Neuvillette volunteered to go personally.

Mondstadt would be decided later, but likely Lisa would be sent on Venti's behalf.

Sumeru chose Alhaitham and Kaveh.

From Snezhnaya, Pierro would go.

Each of them would go scout the area and begin city planning. They'd build just like before.

This plan was settled.

As for the Abyss, Aether decided to relocate completely!

He made a deal with Takumi.

Aether would hand over more advanced Khaenri'ahn technology to Takumi.

In return, Takumi lent him a spatial storage device.

Once ready, Aether would contact Zhongli.

All seven nations had made their decision.

As for the rest—minor powers and whatnot—they could come if they wanted. If not, no one would force them.

After the decisions were made, everyone got to work.

The rest would be handled by Zhongli.

Most matters only needed Takumi's approval.

This was, after all, Takumi's goal in coming here—giving the gods a peace of mind.

Once that was settled, Takumi dispersed his projection on the spot.

Since his task was complete, there was no need for the projection to exist.

Back in his own world, Takumi retracted his consciousness.

Himeko: [@Takumi, Lumine replied. She said to ignore her brother.]

Just as Takumi withdrew his attention, a message came from Himeko.

Apparently, Himeko had helped Takumi contact Lumine.

Clearly, Lumine still hadn't forgiven her brother.

Takumi: [Emm... That's rough.]

Chika Fujiwara: [Lumine: I don't have a brother! Lumine: My brother's dead!]

Sagiri: [A brother like that isn't worth having.]

The group chat erupted with jokes.

Good thing they didn't have brothers.

Takumi: [Tragic, truly.]

He nearly burst out laughing—Lumine really had no interest in acknowledging her brother anymore.

She didn't even seem to care.

Takumi chatted with the group for a bit before closing the chat.

Everyone was already in his world anyway—there wasn't much to talk about.

Rather than focus on that, he might as well concentrate on himself.

No missions, no new members.

He decided it was time to quietly sort out his divine powers.

He'd been meaning to organize them for a while.

While Takumi was immersed in researching his powers...

Over on the Xianzhou Luofu in Honkai: Star Rail—

Guinaifen looked at Lumine, completely baffled.

"Are you sure about this? Your brother's looking for you, you know."

Good grief, what had she just heard?

Himeko told Lumine her brother was searching for her.

And what did Lumine say in response?

She said she had no such brother, didn't want him, and wasn't going home.

"It's fine! Let him have fun on his own. I haven't had enough fun yet."

Lumine replied with a smug tone.

Let him worry.

She was anxious when she first woke up, but did that idiot brother do anything?

Treat me how you want to be treated.

Let him feel the wrath of a little sister.

Guinaifen was speechless.

"Come on, let's go find Sushang!"

With that, Lumine walked off.

She was having a great time on the Luofu.

Soon, she planned to go ghost-hunting with Guinaifen and the others.

That would definitely earn her some fans.

Just imagining it made her smile.

Since arriving in this world, she'd completely immersed herself in its fun.

She had met many people.

Even befriended a skilled gamer—though that girl liked to cheat.

Anyway, she was enjoying herself here.

Going home? Whoever wants to go can go.

Even Paimon wasn't insisting they return.

Why should she rush?

Of course she'd play until she had her fill before even considering going back.

Seeing Lumine so carefree, Guinaifen didn't know what to say.

"Wait for me!"

Since Lumine insisted, she didn't ask further.

She didn't understand the situation between Lumine and her brother, and it wasn't her place to pry.

Besides, Lumine might get upset if she pushed.

So she quickly caught up to her.

They were heading to meet Takumi's new friend, Sushang.

Guinaifen quite liked this new companion.
