Chapter 383: The Entire Island Was Blown Away

Mio Takamiya is the original spirit.

And the purpose of their creation was to resurrect a certain person.

This kind of revelation made Kurumi Tokisaki extremely upset.

She wanted nothing more than to eliminate that person immediately.

However, just as Takumi had said, even if she knew who the opponent was, she couldn't defeat her.

Based on the information provided, Kurumi now understood that all the spirits' powers originated from Mio Takamiya.

How could they possibly stand a chance against her?

Realizing this made Kurumi even more frustrated.

After all, it was infuriating to be unable to exact revenge despite knowing the truth.

It was a deeply powerless feeling.

So, after thinking over what Takumi had proposed, she felt it might actually be a good idea.

"Alright! Let's take away all the spirits!!"

Having made up her mind, Kurumi was resolute.

Wasn't the enemy trying to resurrect that person?

Then let her do it all by herself in this world.

The spirits were merely her pawns.

If she lost all her pawns, what would she become?

With this idea in mind, Kurumi had nothing more to lose.

"Okay!! Then let's go. Let's start capturing the spirits."

Saying that, Takumi's lips curled into a small smile.

Many of the spirits had already appeared:

Yoshino, the Yamai Sisters, Miku Izayoi, Natsumi Kyouno, Nia Honjou, and Mukuro Hoshimiya—they were all already present.

Except for Origami Tobiichi, who had not yet become a spirit, the rest were basically all accounted for.

As for Tohka Yatogami, they could just retrieve her from the Neighboring World.

With the plan set, Takumi began moving with Kurumi.

"Do you know where the other spirits are?"

Just as they were about to begin their operation, Kurumi asked in confusion.

"Of course I do! Maybe you're not aware, but the network of your world is basically transparent to me."

"I can go in and out freely. There are no secrets."

"Little Kurumi, you'll understand how powerful your big brother is in due time."

Takumi smiled warmly at her.

Since she had only just joined the group, she didn't yet know the extent of Takumi's abilities.

But she would come to know in time just how strong he was.

"Oh? Is that so~?"

Hearing that, Kurumi was even more astonished.

She truly had no concept of Takumi's strength yet.

After all, ever since she joined the group, Takumi had come straight into her world.

She hadn't even had time to explore the chat group.

She hadn't even signed in yet.

But that was fine.

Takumi seemed easy to get along with, and he knew a lot.

Even if she knew nothing about him, she could learn slowly.

Takumi began leading Kurumi to locate the other spirits.

Their first stop was to find Nia Honjou.

At that moment, Nia was still being held on a certain island.

Though it was isolated, Takumi had already pinpointed its location.

Sure, it was remote—but too conspicuously so.

Takumi had completely copied DEM's data, so he knew exactly where it was.

Opening a spatial portal, Takumi appeared directly inside the lab on that island.

Kurumi followed closely behind.

As the two arrived, the alarm system immediately triggered.

Takumi, unfazed, directly took control of the system.

All the weapon systems and Realizer Units were instantly disabled.

The combat personnel who had responded to the alarm immediately collapsed.

With the Realizer Units locked down, they were just ordinary girls.

Though physically strong, they were otherwise nothing special.

Worse, with the Realizer Units now inert, they had become burdens.

Takumi had completely frozen the systems.

Then, he led Kurumi deeper into the lab.

Looking around at the setting, Kurumi felt a deep aversion.

She hated the atmosphere of this place.

"I really hate it here. Can I destroy it later?"

Scanning the surroundings, she asked Takumi.

Takumi nodded.

"Of course. I hate it too."

"This place was built specifically for experimenting on spirits."

With that, Takumi walked toward the main lab doors.

As he approached, the doors opened automatically.

Kurumi finally saw what was inside.

The researchers inside immediately pointed their guns at Takumi and Kurumi.

But in the next moment, they were all frozen in place.

Under Takumi's control, their weapons turned on each other.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A flurry of gunfire rang out as the staff inside were eliminated by their own comrades.

Takumi didn't hesitate at all.

He headed straight toward the restrained Nia Honjou lying on the test platform.

At this point, Nia was sedated, completely unaware of what was happening.

Seeing the surgical scars on her body, Takumi frowned.

Damn it!

Look at what they did to a shut-in otaku girl.

The fact that Nia hadn't gone completely insane was remarkable.

Takumi sighed.

The next moment, a magic circle appeared beneath her.

Her injuries began to heal rapidly before their eyes.

Kurumi watched in amazement.

"Magic?"

Wasn't this the kind of thing that only appeared in anime?

"That's right! Magic."

"In the future, you can come train on my side too~!"

"We even have instructors who teach time magic."

"I think you'd be quite interested."

Kurumi nodded.

She was definitely interested.

She could actually learn that kind of thing?

That was amazing.

After healing Nia, Takumi transported her into imaginary space.

She would likely wake up soon.

Having finished that, Takumi turned to Kurumi.

"Do you want to absorb the time of the people here?"

"If not, I'll just destroy this place."

Even garbage had its use.

Kurumi needed time, and the people here were full of it.

Hearing that, Kurumi frowned.

"Time, huh... Not necessary right now."

"Since I've already decided to leave with you, I'll let these people go."

After a moment's thought, she gave up the idea.

It wasn't necessary.

She didn't know what Takumi's world was like, but she imagined she wouldn't lack time there.

"Is that so?"

"Then forget it."

"Later, I'll find you a dragon-kin to drain."

"They have loads of time."

"If everything's settled, then let's go."

"Next stop: the Yamai Sisters."

With that, Takumi opened a new portal and walked out.

Kurumi hurried to follow.
