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

Takumi said goodbye to Kaguya and rushed home.

Just as Takumi was busy with his own matters, on Nyaruko's end, she had just returned home—only to be caught red-handed.

"Nyaruko!"

As soon as she stepped inside, a fiery red figure charged at her and hugged her tightly.

"Hehehe!! Nyaruko, Nyaruko! You're finally back!! I was just about to come looking for you."

As it turned out, Takumi's guess had been spot on. If Nyaruko hadn't come back soon, Cthugha really would have gone out to search for her. She had even already locked onto Nyaruko's general direction.

But just as she was preparing to leave, Nyaruko returned. So of course, she was the first to pounce on her.

"Let go, let go!! Damn it, where are you touching?! You pervert!!"

Once Cthugha had latched onto her, Nyaruko went berserk. She exploded with rage and the two quickly descended into a chaotic brawl.

"Hehehe~~~! Nyaruko!! Where did you run off to recently? You weren't even in this world, were you?"

Despite the beating, Cthugha was still ecstatic. She leaned in and took a deep breath of Nyaruko's scent.

Seeing her blissful face, Nyaruko shuddered in revulsion and shoved her away.

"Scram, scram, scram!! Get out of here!! I don't want to play with you anymore!!"

Damn it. That crazy woman.

She wasn't into this kind of stuff! Her tastes were normal!

No. This couldn't go on.

If this continued, something terrible was bound to happen.

With that in mind, Nyaruko decided to get herself a boyfriend. She had already chosen her target: Takumi.

The decision was made in a flash.

"You still haven't answered me, Nyaruko. Where did you go? The company said you resigned."

Cthugha wasn't giving up. She stared at Nyaruko, demanding an explanation.

"Went to another world to have fun. Not your business."

Nyaruko climbed off the ground and shot her a fierce glare. Then she pulled out her terminal and started watching anime.

Hearing this, Cthugha froze.

So it really was another world?

"Seemed really far away."

She muttered thoughtfully. Over the past few days, she had tried to sense Nyaruko's position—it was ridiculously far.

"Of course it was far. And now I've been kicked back here."

Just thinking about it left her a little bitter.

Then she glanced at the group chat and became even more frustrated.

[Group member 'Kaguya Houraisan' checked in and received a 'Random World Teleport Talisman.']

Kaguya Houraisan: [!!!! Finally, something good for me?! @Nyaruko, see? Ever since you left, my luck's been amazing. Don't come back!!]

Not long after Takumi had left, Kaguya checked in and immediately received a teleport talisman? That was just too perfect!

She started to suspect that her bad luck had been due to Nyaruko being nearby. Now that Nyaruko was gone, her suppressed fortune had bounced back.

Nyaruko: [Nonsense!! You're just naturally unlucky. Don't go blaming others!]

Chika Fujiwara: [Congrats, congrats! Teleport talismans are awesome!]

Megumi Kato: [Congratulations!]

Sagiri: [Are you going to use it?]

The group lit up with chatter. A random world teleport talisman was a big deal.

Takumi had used them multiple times before.

So, would Kaguya use hers?

Kaguya Houraisan: [Of course! @Takumi, hey you, let's go adventuring!!]

She didn't even hesitate—immediately inviting Takumi.

Didn't matter which world they ended up in. As long as she brought Takumi, all would be fine.

Takumi, having just gotten home, sighed when he saw the message.

After checking the time, he refused.

Takumi: [Let's go tomorrow. Not today.]

He wasn't in the mood to world-hop that day. Whatever it was, it could wait until tomorrow.

He wasn't particularly interested in the talisman either—it might just lead to another mundane world.

There were way too many random possibilities.

Kaguya Houraisan: [Alright! I'll come get you tomorrow, then.]

Decision made. Kaguya immediately logged off.

The others in the group weren't eager to join either.

Even though many lived in Takumi's world, they all had their own things to do.

Takumi didn't dwell on it.

But at midnight, during his own check-in, he also received a random world teleport talisman.

He was stunned.

And the rest of the group was equally shocked.

Chika Fujiwara: [QAQ??? What's going on? Takumi got one too? Are these being handed out in bulk?]

The others checked in too, but all they got were points.

Sagiri: [Damn!! I thought I might get one too. Waaah!!]

Megumi Kato: [Kind of a shame. I'm going to bed.]

Lala: [You can really teleport to other worlds with that? I want to go too—but I'm too busy right now!!]

Lala peeked at the chat. She was still dismantling the spaceships Takumi had brought back.

Seeing what he got, she felt a tinge of envy.

She really wanted to go, too—but didn't have the time.

Takumi: [Next time, I'll take you.]

Lala: [Really? That's awesome!!]

Her mood lifted instantly.

They chatted a bit longer before she went back to dismantling her ship.

Takumi didn't linger either.

After everything was done, he decided to rest.

He closed the group chat and stopped thinking about it.

The next morning, while Takumi was eating breakfast, Kaguya showed up early.

"Let's go, let's go!! Time to depart!!"

Hearing that, Takumi sighed—but didn't refuse.

He had already eaten.

"Alright, I'll go with her for a bit. Just taking a look and coming right back."

He said goodbye to Lilia and Miori Shiba at home.

Just as he finished, Kaguya sent him the teleport talisman in the group chat.

"You use it!"

She handed over the talisman and entered Takumi's Imaginary Space.

Takumi didn't hesitate. He accepted it, stored her in his space, and used the talisman.

In a flash, he disappeared from home.

When he reappeared, he found himself in a narrow alley.

The smell in the air made him frown slightly.

But he didn't dwell on it. He let Kaguya out.

As soon as she appeared, both of them sensed something odd—

Time was starting to rewind.

Startled, Takumi instinctively used his power to cancel out the time-reversal effect.
