Chapter 375: Kurimo – So Far Away
Everyone at the CANARIA Orphanage agreed to be sent off—without hesitation.
All of them consented right away.
After all, they were all orphans, and their friends were all here.
Because of that, when Takumi made the offer and Izayoi confirmed it, everyone readily agreed.
Takumi then casually stored all of them—along with the entire CANARIA Orphanage—into his dimensional storage and sent them off to Izayoi.
With that done, Takumi resumed wandering through the subordinate worlds of Little Garden.
On Izayoi's side, after receiving his siblings, he returned the dimensional equipment to Takumi and even sent a gift.
Sakamaki Izayoi: [There's a gift in there for you. I have no use for it anyway.]
Seeing the message, Takumi paused.
A gift?
But since it was offered, Takumi didn't refuse.
He immediately checked the interior of the storage equipment he created.
And there it was—a pendant.
Upon seeing it, Takumi broke into a smile.
Takumi: [You're giving me Algol?]
That's right—the pendant contained none other than Algol.
He actually gave Takumi Algol?
Shiroyasha: [Oh boy!!] [Are you planning to cause chaos now??]
Seeing Takumi's message, Shiroyasha was also stunned.
Algol—one of the three major Problem Children in Little Garden.
Although her Authority had been greatly diminished, if restored, she would be incredibly powerful.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been grouped alongside Shiroyasha as one of the top three Problem Children.
Sakamaki Izayoi: [She's no use to me, so I'm handing her over.] [You should be able to restore her, right?]
Izayoi actually sounded pretty excited.
What would happen if Algol were restored?
He planned to throw her back into Little Garden later.
Hehehe...
Takumi: [Yeah, I can restore her. Shouldn't be an issue.] [But I'll set her aside for now—I still have work to finish here.]
Even though he'd received Algol, Takumi planned to shelve her restoration for later.
Once he returned, he'd deal with it.
Sakamaki Izayoi: [She's yours now. What you do with her is up to you. That's it.]
And with that, Izayoi logged off.
The item had been handed over—it had nothing to do with him anymore.
Takumi chuckled and put it away without thinking too much.
He'd help her recover once he got back.
Although he could restore her here, Takumi didn't plan to do so immediately.
First, he needed to finish collecting information from the various worlds.
With that in mind, Takumi resumed his journey.
After another week or so, he finally paused.
He realized that many of the advanced technologies had started to become redundant.
Though each world followed its own technological path, much of the content overlapped.
Continuing to collect such data would be pointless.
Soon, with Prometheus's help, a universal tech tree incorporating countless world systems would be complete.
So there was no need to keep collecting more.
At this point, Takumi had already acquired most of what could be obtained from Little Garden's subordinate worlds.
All that remained were minor details.
The grand blueprint had been secured.
No need to fuss over the rest.
After finishing up in the final world, Takumi dropped a message in the group chat.
Takumi: [I'm heading back.] [I'll come again when I have time.]
Seeing the message, Shiroyasha, Izayoi, and the others immediately responded.
They all invited him to visit again next time.
After bidding farewell, Takumi prepared to leave.
Before he departed, he glanced toward the void.
Kurimo was still watching him from there.
She had been silently observing him for quite a while.
Doing nothing—just watching.
Seeing her, Takumi smiled faintly.
The next moment, a terminal appeared in his hand.
He attached a world coordinate and casually tossed it.
The terminal turned into a streak of light and shot out.
With that, Takumi vanished from the void.
Once he had completely disappeared, Kurimo came back to her senses.
She raised her hand, and the terminal landed gently in her palm.
Kurimo stared at the object in her hand, surprised.
Especially at the world coordinate attached to it.
A world outside of Little Garden?
Hmm, that's so far away!
She sensed the coordinate and grew a little frustrated.
It was really far.
Should she go visit?
She thought for a while and made up her mind.
It was boring here anyway.
Usually, she either watched the worlds or slept.
So why not go take a look?
She hadn't really explored outside of Little Garden before.
Usually, she only wandered nearby.
Even though the outside was dangerous, it probably wouldn't be too bad.
But... what was this thing?
She fiddled with it until Prometheus popped up to explain.
After understanding it, Kurimo finally got the picture.
The terminal even contained some data.
"Shiroyasha?"
Kurimo saw the info Takumi had left behind and was surprised.
So she could reach Shiroyasha instantly through this?
Got it!!
Time to go find that woman.
With that thought, Kurimo entered Little Garden.
Straight to Shiroyasha.
...
Meanwhile, Takumi had already returned home.
He'd been away for more than a month.
Probably the longest he'd ever been gone.
"I've never been away this long before," he muttered to himself.
Once home, he began uploading the collected data to his personal server.
It must've held data from hundreds of worlds by now.
While uploading, he gave Prometheus some instructions.
"Prometheus."
Hearing his voice, Prometheus materialized.
"I'm here!"
Seeing the emotionless loli projection, Takumi spoke:
"Organize all the technology I've uploaded." "Compile all the commonalities and build a unified tech tree." "Then have Dr. Mei and the others follow that development path." "We can gradually integrate other unique paths over time."
A single tree that fused the knowledge of countless worlds.
As he spoke, Prometheus's eyes flashed with streams of data.
"Executing." "Would you also like to compile the magical systems?"
Besides technology, there was also magic.
After all, Takumi didn't just collect tech—he had a massive amount of magical data as well.
And magic systems were just as complex.
Naturally, that needed to be processed too.
