Sagiri rushed in, and the moment she saw Ram and Rem, she was thrilled.
"Come on! Let me take a picture!!"
Without hesitation, she darted forward, pulling out her terminal and snapping photos like crazy.
Ram and Rem felt a little uncomfortable seeing this.
What's going on?
"Alright, that's enough! Don't scare them."
Takumi gave Sagiri a sharp glance, annoyed by her excitement.
"You don't understand!!"
Sagiri rolled her eyes at Takumi. How could he possibly comprehend what Ram and Rem meant to artists like her?
Ignoring him, she started chatting enthusiastically with the twins.
Seeing her like this, Takumi was speechless.
"Um… it seems like you know us pretty well?"
Ram thought for a moment before voicing her suspicion. Takumi, Kaguya... everyone seemed to know them quite well.
Sagiri gave a mischievous grin. "Let me show you something!"
She pulled out her terminal again and brought up data on the world of Re*:Zero*, especially focused on Ram and Rem's character profiles.
Some files had long since been deleted by Takumi, not uploaded anywhere.
Looking at the material Sagiri presented, Ram and Rem were left confused.
Takumi didn't interfere, allowing them time to understand at their own pace.
Thanks to Sagiri's explanations, the twins gradually came to understand a lot.
Emilia learned of it too.
Even after understanding everything, none of them overthought it.
No wonder everyone acted like they already knew them.
Besides Sagiri, Fujiwara Chika and the others also came over to meet the twins.
Over the next few days, Takumi stayed at home.
Once everything settled, he decided it was time to move again.
"Alright, let's go! Time to use the last random world travel ticket."
Takumi went to find Kaguya, telling her to prepare.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya burst with excitement.
"Let's go, let's go! Let me in!～!!"
She hurried him to open the imaginary space so she could enter.
Takumi didn't hesitate.
This time, he didn't bring anyone else.
Otherwise, all the idle people might want to tag along.
After placing Kaguya inside, Takumi activated the random world transfer talisman.
His figure vanished instantly.
When he reappeared, he realized—this world seemed oddly familiar.
Feeling the familiar aura, Takumi froze.
"Oh damn!! The Sea of Quanta?!"
That's right. Takumi had been sent to the Sea of Quanta.
And that familiar aura came from the Imaginary Tree.
Kaguya Houraisan:
[@Takumi, ding ding ding!!]
[Has the driver arrived yet?]
Kaguya was already urging him—why wasn't he letting her out?
Seeing the message, Takumi entered the chat.
Takumi:
[Image]
[I ended up in the Sea of Quanta this time.]
Seeing his message, Kaguya was confused.
Others started chiming in too.
Zhongli:
[What a coincidence.]
Himeko:
[Want to hang out on our side?]
Herta:
[Perfect timing? We're all here. Come pick us up too.]
Raiden Mei:
[Uh-oh~!]
Fujiwara Chika:
[He crossed over but didn't really cross!]
[Lol!!!]
Wasn't that a waste?
Herta even said her group was fully assembled—might as well bring everyone along.
They were all headed to Takumi's world to observe that blank world.
Now was the perfect chance.
Takumi:
[Hold up!!]
[Look what I've found?]
Messages in the group kept lighting up.
Takumi spoke up again, clearly surprised.
After sensing the surroundings, he noticed something else in the Sea of Quanta.
Another similar aura!!
Apparently, the random transfer didn't just send him to the Sea of Quanta.
Takumi immediately opened his livestream.
The others, now curious, rushed to join.
What had he discovered?
Takumi headed toward the source of the anomaly.
As he approached, a shimmering mosaic portal appeared.
Bronya:
[What is that?]
Shimo Miori:
[A Herrscher's aura?]
Raiden Mei:
[It definitely is.]
Fujiwara Chika:
[A Herrscher in the Sea of Quanta???]
[Masa ka!!]
Sagiri:
[@Nyaruko, come see your cousin!!]
A Herrscher born in the Sea of Quanta—everyone immediately thought of one.
The Herrscher of the Sea, Janna!
A planetary-level Honkai beast summoned by the Will of Honkai.
She saw human civilization as ants and wiped out the primeval era's world.
Before Takumi was a mosaic-like spatial rift.
It floated aimlessly within the Sea of Quanta.
Gazing at the portal, Takumi scanned nearby world bubbles.
No sign of Honkai Impact 2's bubbles.
Was Janna just drifting around here?
After a brief thought, Takumi made a decision—knock first!
He released his aura, channeling his Honkai energy toward the portal.
As Takumi's power surged, it awakened the slumbering Janna.
She stirred slowly.
"A... kin...dred?"
Feeling the presence outside, Janna was startled.
Such a powerful presence… like her?
No—it felt even stronger.
Though she was a Herrscher, she didn't acknowledge the weaker ones.
They were like annoying little sisters—not strong enough.
Now, sensing Takumi's power, her curiosity grew.
Despite sleeping for ages, she'd been lonely.
Now someone appeared—someone like her.
And they'd even come here.
Wasn't this fate?
Fully awakened, Janna's mosaic gate shifted.
It expanded into a massive entrance.
Sensing the goodwill inside, Takumi realized she was inviting him.
With nothing to fear, he flew in without hesitation.
In this world, nothing frightened him.
Not even the Imaginary Tree.
Takumi was no longer the same person he was when he first arrived in this universe.
As he entered, viewers in the stream saw a black-caped, red-eyed girl quietly awaiting inside.
It was none other than Janna.
The space around her resembled a boundless sea—stretching infinitely in every direction.
