Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Takumi: @Tokisaki Kurumi, quick, look at your bestie—doesn't she look like a queen?

Kurumi, who was currently in Takumi's imaginary space, was momentarily stunned when she saw this sudden message. When she recognized the all-white figure in the photo, she instantly perked up.

Tokisaki Kurumi: Can I come out now?

Seeing her message, Takumi smiled. He didn't reply further in the group chat but instead opened the portal and let Kurumi out.

The moment Kurumi emerged, Yamadera Sawa immediately noticed. Her abilities were space-based, making her hypersensitive to any spatial fluctuations. Although she hadn't noticed Takumi's arrival, she definitely noticed him opening a spatial rift.

Of course, that was intentional on Takumi's part—after all, he had opened his imaginary space right in front of her.

When Yamadera Sawa saw Kurumi, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.

"Sawa~!"

Kurumi stared at her with a complex expression.

"Sanzan!"

Sawa looked at Kurumi in utter shock. Kurumi wasted no time and lunged at her, knocking her right off her chair.

"This is great!! It's really great."

Tears streamed down Kurumi's face. It was rare to see her so emotional.

"You... how did you get here?"

Although overwhelmed with emotion, Sawa quickly regained her composure. How did Kurumi end up here?

"If I didn't come, how would I ever find you?"

If it hadn't been for Takumi, she might have never learned that Sawa was still alive.

"Alright, enough talk for now. Let's go into my imaginary space first. Once we're back, I'll help resolve what's going on with her."

With that, Takumi opened the portal again and gestured for them to enter. Sawa wasn't going to die anytime soon.

Hearing Takumi's words, Kurumi nodded. But Sawa wasn't too keen on the idea. Just as she was about to protest, Kurumi spoke up first.

"Come with me. I'll explain later."

Sawa paused but didn't argue. She followed Kurumi into the imaginary space.

After storing the two of them, Takumi resumed exploring the Realm Border, checking every location that could be investigated.

Most notably, the First Material Point.

Inside, there was a Spirit Crystal.

Takumi was a bit surprised to sense it. She didn't carry it on her person?

Then again, it made sense. Carrying it around was cumbersome, so she must have stored it here for convenience.

Lucky for Takumi.

But if he took the Spirit Crystal, Mio Takamiya would likely know immediately.

Thinking this, Takumi smiled. So what if she did?

It wasn't a big deal.

With that mindset, he acted decisively.

He had already taken everyone he needed. The rest was irrelevant.

Takumi arrived at the location of the First Material Point Crown. After scanning the area, he wasted no time retrieving the Spirit Crystal.

The moment he took it, Mio Takamiya, who was outside, sensed it immediately.

Of course she would—how could she not know her own Spirit Crystal had been disturbed?

Enraged, she vanished from her spot without saying a word. Thankfully, no one was around her at that time.

It was night, and she was in her room.

When Mio returned to the Realm Border, the entire space came alive, reacting to her presence. She instantly locked onto Takumi's location.

Without hesitation, the Realm Border launched an all-out attack on Takumi.

Faced with this aggressive offensive, Takumi didn't flinch.

He simply vanished from the Realm Border and returned to the real world.

Mio followed closely behind.

"Who are you? Return what you took!!"

Mio glared at Takumi, face full of rage.

"There's no way I'm giving it back. Hmm, why don't you take a moment to sense how many Spirits are still left in this world?"

Takumi's lips curled into a smirk.

Mio froze.

She instinctively checked.

And when she realized that aside from Kotori Itsuka, all the other Spirits had disappeared, her expression grew even darker.

Takumi smiled brightly.

"Well then, let's meet again sometime."

"Bye-bye~!"

As soon as he said that, Mio felt a searing pain in her head. The next second, she lost consciousness.

With that done, Takumi vanished again—this time, heading for the Itsuka household in Tenguu City.

He appeared silently beside Kotori, who was fast asleep.

Looking at her, Takumi debated briefly before deciding not to take her with him. Instead, he removed the Spirit Crystal from within her.

Once done, he went to check on Shiori Itsuka.

Seeing the sleeping beauty, Takumi gave a mental thumbs-up. Shiori really was stunning.

He examined her briefly and sensed Kotori's other power lingering inside her.

But Takumi wasn't particularly interested in that.

With the Spirit Crystal already in hand, he didn't need the residual energy inside her.

He had only come to see her.

After admiring her for a moment, he disappeared.

However, the moment he vanished, Shiori opened her drowsy eyes.

But soon drifted back to sleep.

Takumi didn't head home right away. Instead, he went to Origami's house.

Origami Tobiichi hadn't gone to sleep yet. The moment she saw Takumi appear out of nowhere, she immediately reached under her pillow and aimed a gun at him.

"Do you want to resurrect your parents?"

Takumi didn't seem fazed. Instead, he asked her directly.

Origami was stunned.

"Re... resurrect?"

"Who are you?"

Though shocked, Origami remained cautious. She wasn't swayed by Takumi's words.

"Who I am doesn't matter."

"What matters is—I can bring your parents back to life!!"

"So? Do you want them resurrected?"

Takumi looked at her with a calm, smiling face.

Origami stared back, unblinking.

"What do you want me to do?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. She didn't believe this came without a price.

Takumi chuckled.

"Come with me. I can resurrect your parents now. Then, your whole family can leave this world with me."

Origami's eyes widened.

"Leave this world?"

That was a lot to process.

This handsome guy standing before her... wasn't from this world?
