Chapter 454: Chapter 454: This Is Absolutely Necessary!!
Once Mayumi and the others were ready, Takumi decided it was time to return.
With everything settled and everyone gathered, Takumi took action and transferred them all into the imaginary number space. After bringing along everyone he intended to, he returned to his own world.
However, shortly after Takumi's departure, war broke out in that world. The moment he left, conflict erupted.
News had spread about the disappearance of certain families. Additionally, quite a few individuals had been abducted.
This meant internal power structures had been weakened. With so many people taken, many influential factions had lost considerable strength.
Given this opportunity, others pounced. Warfare ignited immediately.
...
What happened in the world of The Irregular at Magic High School no longer had anything to do with Takumi. He was now back in his own world.
Takumi reappeared at his home.
Upon seeing him return, the elemental spirit kings hurried to greet him.
"Welcome back!"
Takumi smiled and waved at them.
"You've gotten used to it here, right? Anything you're not comfortable with?"
He had been away for a while, and they had stayed in his place for several days. It was time to check whether they had adapted to life here.
Sensing their condition, he noticed their divine energy had fully transformed into Honkai energy. They now bore the mark of his world.
"Nothing uncomfortable."
"This world is wonderful."
The Holy Spirit King was thoroughly satisfied with this world. It was far better than the one they came from. She had even met with some angels and forged a few partnerships.
Soon, all spirits with holy attributes would move to the Heavenly Realm.
"As long as you're comfortable. I have things to do, I'll be back later."
Takumi still had many people to settle in, so he didn't stay long at home. After a quick greeting, he left.
He arrived at Hope City and began constructing houses outside the main district. Once finished, he released all the people he had brought over—including those he had forcibly taken.
As the crowd emerged, they grew tense, readying magic in their hands.
But before they could act, they realized their powers had been sealed.
Rifts opened in the void, and one after another, mechanical Kai species stepped out.
Seeing this, fear struck the crowd.
"Calm down, everyone. I've got good news—welcome to the new world.
"Your relatives and friends are already here, so there's nothing to worry about.
"From now on, just live well in this world."
"Prometheus, I leave the rest to you."
Takumi silently cast mental suggestions over the group, helping them accept this reality and settle into their new lives.
After that, he winked at Mayumi and sent her a private message before leaving.
Reading the message, Mayumi's eyes lit up.
"Familiarize yourself with this world first. We'll be in touch later."
She nodded. Indeed, the best thing to do now was get to know this world. She could reconnect with Takumi after that.
Meanwhile, Prometheus began uploading the identities of the newcomers into the system. Terminals were distributed, and orientation commenced.
The people Takumi had abducted slowly began to understand what kind of world they had arrived in. Many were stunned.
They had really been taken to another world?
Shiba Tatsuya was utterly baffled but quickly calmed down.
Why?
Holding the terminal, he quickly began gathering information.
Though shocked, everyone slowly began to accept reality. They had no choice. There was no way back.
Some even thought maybe this new world wasn't such a bad deal.
It was ridiculous, yet oddly compelling.
They began settling into the houses arranged by Prometheus. Basic living supplies were provided. Even a bit of money was distributed.
Going forward, if they wanted more funds, they'd need to work or become gourmet hunters in other worlds. If that failed, they could sell their own magic.
Although Takumi already had most of their spells, it was okay for them to sell to the public.
Takumi didn't restrict that.
After all, there were buyers.
This was one of the quickest ways for people from other worlds to exchange magic for currency.
Once settled, they began exploring this world. Some even wandered out immediately to see what Takumi's world had to offer.
With friends and relatives brought along, there wasn't much left to worry about.
This was practically a full clan migration.
Now that they were here, it was time to understand the lay of the land—and the laws. If anything went wrong, no one would be there to bail them out.
They had nothing here. Their identities from the old world didn't carry over. They had to start from scratch.
...
After arranging everything, Takumi went to the research institute.
Velvie wasn't around—she was still assisting Herta with equipment production.
She wouldn't be back for a while.
But Takumi wasn't there for her—he came to find Bronya.
Bronya was with Lala, and by the time Takumi arrived, they had already completed the CAD prototype.
Seeing him, Bronya glanced up and said:
"Our terminals are perfect for converting into CADs.
"If we do that, Prometheus will be able to cast spells too.
"The more terminals there are, the more spells Prometheus can cast.
"After all, all of these are controlled by Prometheus.
"I think this is very promising.
"Some spells are just like programs—you engrave them in, and when you want to activate them, you just do it.
"So straightforward and effective."
Bronya explained her research in detail.
She was already working on transforming the terminals to function as CADs. That way, even Prometheus could use them to cast magic.
It could even allow centralized control of everyone's terminals.
This was absolutely necessary.
Even though Prometheus was already powerful...
