Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Let's Make Some Mapo Tofu!
Takumi seemed to know her very well. Not only did he know her name, but he also knew what food she liked. Moreover, many others also recognized her.
Keep in mind—this is another world.
All these facts made it clear that this wasn't a simple situation.
Tachibana Kanade took a sip of tea, then turned her gaze to Takumi.
"Can you tell me now? What's going on?"
Kanade looked a bit dazed. She wanted to figure out what was really happening. Why had she come to this world?
"You're already in another world," Takumi replied. "This is not your original world anymore. The reason you're here is because of that invitation letter. Do you remember receiving it? I was the one who sent it out."
As she listened to Takumi's explanation, Kanade froze.
"Invitation letter..."
She glanced at the invitation she had been holding in her hand since she arrived.
"This one?"
"That's the one," Takumi confirmed. "If you want to return, you can use it. But now that you're already here, why not stay a while? Also, I'm going to bring your world over to mine, so you might as well enjoy your time here. You can always go back whenever you want."
Hearing this, Kanade was dumbfounded.
Bring her world over? What kind of high-level maneuver was that?
She didn't really understand, but she was thoroughly shocked.
Seeing her confused expression, Takumi reached out and gently tapped her forehead. In the next moment, a wave of knowledge flooded into her mind—about Takumi's world and the process of transferring worlds.
Her mind was muddled from all the information crammed into it.
This was way too much. And yet, it was real.
"Do you understand now? If there's anything you don't get, feel free to ask," Takumi said with a smile.
Kanade shook her head. "I understand. I don't have any more questions. So... you really can move our world here? And everyone will be free to do as they wish?"
Their afterlife world was actually quite small. If they could go somewhere else, it would be a great thing.
She felt inspired by the idea.
"Of course!" Takumi grinned. "When I move your world here, you'll all become special lifeforms—after all, you're already dead."
As he spoke, Takumi glanced at Kanade. She was currently in a soul-state, but after arriving in his world, her body had already begun to transform. Honkai energy had started converting her powers, making her more like a living person.
Kanade nodded. She couldn't deny it. They were all dead. And their world was small.
If their world could be brought here... that would be wonderful.
"Hello, Kanade~! I'm Fujiwara Chika, nice to meet you!"
Just then, Fujiwara Chika came over to greet her. Kanade responded with a polite nod.
"Hello."
She now understood why everyone already knew her. One after another, others came over to introduce themselves. Soon, they were chatting like old friends.
Watching the scene, Takumi couldn't help but feel a little exasperated.
These people really knew how to cause a commotion.
He shook his head and looked over toward Yuzuriha Inori.
Inori had already learned about this world. When she saw Takumi looking her way, she stepped forward.
"Takumi... can I ask, where can we heal Ayase's legs? I want to get her treatment."
After understanding the technology of this world, the first thing she thought of was healing Ayase.
Could they still go to that lab from before?
That kind of place was likely very strict. If no one led them there, they probably couldn't enter.
That's why she wanted to ask Takumi.
"That's easy," Takumi replied casually.
He beckoned Ayase forward.
Ayase was a bit stunned, but Tsugumi excitedly pushed her forward.
As she approached, Takumi didn't say much and directly began the treatment.
Healing her legs was a piece of cake.
He activated a small amount of his power, and Ayase was healed.
A warm sensation spread through her legs, and she slowly began to feel something she hadn't in a long time.
Realizing this, Ayase became overwhelmed with emotion.
"Thank you!!"
She was so touched that she began to cry.
She had waited for this day for so long.
"Try standing up," Takumi suggested.
Seeing her tears, he understood how she felt. Sitting in a wheelchair all this time and relying on others was difficult for anyone.
Now that she had recovered, it was natural to be emotional.
Ayase nodded.
She shakily held onto her wheelchair and began to stand.
Surprisingly, the expected weakness never came. Instead, her legs felt full of strength.
She had thought that even if she recovered, it would be hard to stand.
But the reality exceeded expectations.
She froze for a moment.
Then, she stood up.
She lifted her long legs and was wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Completely healed? Not even a little discomfort?"
After checking herself, Ayase was stunned.
This was unreal.
"Who do you think I am?" Takumi said with a smirk. "If I'm healing someone, of course it's done in one go. You didn't think I'd make you do physical therapy or rehab training, right? That's unnecessary!"
Takumi's tone was slightly annoyed. It was only natural that his healing would be efficient and convenient.
Once healed, she could move like any normal person.
To him, this was just a small task—no need to make a fuss.
Ayase was overjoyed.
"Thank you!! Thank you so much!!"
She was truly, genuinely moved.
"That's wonderful, Ayase!! You're finally healed!"
Tsugumi, who had always accompanied her, was equally excited.
Seeing her stand again made her truly happy.
