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

When Takumi entered Kanade's world, even though he continuously suppressed his power, it still caused massive tremors across the entire world. The whole world shook several times, and even parts of Earth experienced abnormalities. Spatial fissures appeared briefly before quickly vanishing.

This was because the moment Takumi entered the world, he immediately exited without staying even a second. He had appeared in the afterlife realm, which experienced the greatest impact. Even though he only lingered there for one second, the space there cracked. This made Takumi quite frustrated. This world was just too fragile. Luckily, he moved fast—otherwise, it might have been doomed.

Looking at the world from the outside, Takumi muttered, "This place really is tiny."

Indeed, it was a small world. Just a bit larger than an average one—but only slightly. He stopped thinking too much and began packaging the world.

With a world this small, packing it up was quite easy for him. The inhabitants had no idea what was happening before Takumi had already packed the entire world away. After securing the world, he returned home, placed it properly, and started constructing a teleportation gate. He also sent a Mechanica over to notify the people of that world.

Once all of this was done, Takumi didn't concern himself further. He had to deal with the afterlife realm. As for this matter, Takumi decided to leave it to the expert—Hu Tao.

If the souls needed to be passed on, she could do it. If they didn't want to leave, she could help them recover instead.

"Where is Hu Tao?"

Having made up his mind, Takumi asked Prometheus.

"She's currently at Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue Harbor," Prometheus replied. "She's having lunch."

Takumi glanced at the time—already noon without him realizing it. Perfect timing to crash lunch.

With that in mind, Takumi teleported directly to Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue Harbor. The restaurant was bustling with activity, as expected during lunch hours. The place was packed.

He even saw a few people in Tōtsuki Culinary Academy uniforms working there. It seemed Xiangling had recruited more staff.

Xiangling was indeed in the back kitchen, busily preparing dishes. Takumi didn't alert anyone and simply walked upstairs.

A server stopped him. "Sir, do you have a reservation?"

"I'm here to meet someone. Please go about your business," Takumi replied with a nod before heading toward a private room.

He pushed the door open.

Inside, Hu Tao was enjoying lunch, accompanied by Xinyan and Beidou. Upon seeing Takumi, Hu Tao blinked in surprise. The others also turned to look.

"Takumi?"

"What brings you here?"

Hu Tao quickly recovered. After all, she had just seen him the previous day.

"I've got some business for you," Takumi said, sitting down. "Remember that girl from yesterday? Her world is part of the afterlife, filled with lingering souls. I need you to go and perform some rites."

"If they want reincarnation, help them pass on. If not, let them become undead or some other race. Just help them reenter life in some form."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

"Souls with lingering regrets who don't want reincarnation?"

"Oho~ That's big business!"

She was clearly thrilled. Performing rites? That was her specialty.

"So you're on board?"

"Of course!"

"That world's a bit special. I'll take you there later, and you'll see for yourself. The girl you saw yesterday has already reincarnated as an angel. Most of the others are similar—unfortunate children."

"If they wish to reincarnate, let them. If not, let them become undead or another race. We have so many races here; they can choose freely."

"Shiki should also have reincarnation services by now, right? I saw she installed otherworldly reincarnation arrays in the underworld."

Mentioning this, Takumi looked a bit odd. Shikieiki Yamaxanadu had somehow brought over Aqua's entire reincarnation system. Along with reincarnation methods from other worlds, the whole thing had become incredibly advanced.

"Yep!" Hu Tao proudly said. "That was my idea. Isn't it great?"

Clearly, she was elated. Shiki didn't come up with it herself—Hu Tao had suggested it.

The underworld had become too boring, so she figured: why not spice it up? When building the system, she even considered having Yuyuko reincarnate.

Unfortunately, Yuyuko adamantly refused. She claimed she wouldn't be able to eat as much in a new life, and she absolutely didn't want that.

Even Youmu declined. Despite being her close friend, Youmu wouldn't budge.

Reincarnating wasn't that big a deal—it was just changing races. Memories would be retained, and one could even become stronger.

Their refusal deeply disappointed Hu Tao.

Takumi listened to her, his expression growing more awkward.

"I see... if it's you, then I'm not surprised."

Shiki wouldn't bother with such things—but Hu Tao was always up to some mischief. This all made perfect sense now.

"You're something else!"

Takumi gave her a thumbs-up. "Really keeping up with the times."

"Hehehe~!"

Praised like that, Hu Tao beamed with pride.

Takumi didn't say more. He simply picked up chopsticks and started eating without the slightest reservation.

Watching him, Beidou finally spoke up.

"Takumi, can I offer you some feedback?"

Takumi paused mid-bite, confused. "Feedback? About what?"

Beidou coughed lightly. "Don't you think the oceans in your world are a bit... bland?"

"Seriously, the sea's not fun at all. There aren't even any treasures. You know sailors go on voyages to hunt treasure, right? But your world has nothing."

Beidou looked genuinely exasperated. As a seafaring captain, she felt utterly wasted in a world without maritime adventure.
