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

These witches possessed various Authorities.

The Witch of Envy, Satella, controlled Return by Death and the Shadow Realm. The Witch of Greed, Echidna, wielded the Tome of Wisdom, a book recording all knowledge across time. The Witch of Wrath had healing powers—though it's unclear if it's the same kind of healing as some hero types. The Witch of Gluttony, Daphne, had the Authority to create magical beasts. The White Whale, Great Rabbit, and Black Serpent were all her creations—apparently made for consumption? The Witch of Pride, Typhon, had the Authority of Judgment.

In short, the witches' powers were impressive.

Takumi definitely intended to meet them.

Those beings had long merged with the world itself. That was likely why this world hadn't acknowledged Takumi's presence.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were part of the world now.

Otherwise, with Takumi's divine-level soul rank, he should've absorbed all the world's knowledge upon arrival.

Instead, he had to go hunting for it.

That reminded him—

The Gospel Book... heh, just a nerfed version of the Tome of Wisdom. Might as well ask Echidna for a look at the real deal.

The book that records all existence.

The Gospel only forecasts the future—it's nowhere near as useful.

At the same time, Takumi was wondering:

Why was he even running around like this? He could've just gone straight to Echidna from the start.

The moment he thought that, Takumi felt like an absolute fool.

Beatrice, upon hearing that Takumi intended to visit the witches—specifically Echidna—was stunned.

"You can find Mother?!"

Her eyes widened. Ram and Rem were equally shocked.

"Of course I can. Don't underestimate my power."

Clearly, they had no idea how strong he really was. Takumi sighed. They were underestimating him.

This was nothing to him.

The group stared at each other, momentarily speechless.

"You can think it over. No rush." "Decide later whether you want to come with us."

Takumi didn't press them. He simply spoke calmly.

Then, he opened a gate right in front of them.

Beatrice looked through the doorway and froze.

That was... her library?

"Let me look at your grimoires." "In return, I'll give you some of mine."

Takumi didn't step in immediately. He turned to Beatrice.

She thought it over, then agreed.

"Fine."

A fair exchange. That seemed acceptable.

Takumi created a terminal and tossed it over.

"Let Kaguya show you how to use it." "All my grimoires are stored inside." "They don't have magical power, but the knowledge is there in full."

With that, Takumi stepped into Beatrice's archive.

Kaguya began instructing her on how to use the device.

...

Takumi began copying the grimoires stored in her library. There were many, and he wasn't going to miss a single one.

This world's magic tomes were invaluable.

Many included time magic, which Takumi found particularly useful.

Meanwhile, Beatrice was browsing through the device. It indeed contained a vast collection of grimoires.

Even better, they were automatically rendered in her world's language. She could read them with no issue.

While she read, Ram, Rem, and Emilia huddled together in discussion.

With Roswaal gone, it was likely they couldn't stay here. After all, Roswaal was the estate's owner. The Margrave's manor would be reclaimed soon.

Which meant—they had nothing left.

They were now considering whether to stay or leave with Takumi.

Ram and Rem were leaning toward leaving.

As Takumi had said: She had no hope of winning the royal selection.

Why not leave this world and go elsewhere?

In Takumi's world, there was no discrimination against Emilia. It was a far better environment than this one.

Here, she'd suffered constant prejudice over her appearance.

If someone else became king, she might even get exiled.

Unlikely, maybe—but they had to think it through.

After some discussion, Emilia made up her mind.

"Kaguya, can you tell me more about that world?" "I want to understand better."

Kaguya, who had been playing a game nearby, heard her and understood that Emilia had made her decision.

"Alright! Come on, everyone. Gather around."

Beaming, Kaguya excitedly began explaining Takumi's world.

They had to understand it more deeply before they'd be willing to go.

As Kaguya explained, the others gradually understood:

Takumi's world was a fusion of many others.

Once upon a time, he had been the only person there. The humans of that world had gone extinct for unknown reasons.

Takumi stumbled upon it and began to build it up.

A brand new world.

Most of its people had been brought in from other worlds.

It was crazy.

Everyone there had come from somewhere else. There were no natives. Not even Takumi.

Thinking about that, Emilia nodded.

"Then let's go." "We'll pack up and make arrangements."

She sighed.

"Have you truly decided?"

Puck looked at her seriously.

Emilia nodded firmly.

"Yes. I've made my decision."

Nothing more to say.

Given the situation, there was no choice. They'd leave and start a new life in another world.

Maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

With that thought, Emilia brightened.

"Mm, then just bring whatever valuable items you can carry." "Materials and such can be sold there for money." "People will buy them."

"I'll borrow some spatial storage equipment from Takumi."

"Beatrice, would you mind opening a portal?"

Seeing Emilia had decided, Kaguya moved to help again.

A spatial container would be enough. They had a lot to bring, and it wouldn't be elegant to lug around a mountain of bags.

Beatrice didn't say anything. She lifted her hand and cast a spell.

A gate opened.

But as she looked at what was inside, her eyes widened in shock.

This was... her library?!

Are you serious?
