Takumi went straight to where Herta and the others were.
Upon arrival, he didn't rush to find Herta right away. Instead, he found a spot near the space station and released the yellowish planet there.
The people busy in the space station suddenly received an alert. Hearing the alarm, everyone was stunned.
Was there even danger in this world?
While everyone was confused, they quickly located the source.
A pale yellow planet, like an egg tart, had mysteriously appeared near the space station.
"Huh?"
Seeing the planet, Herta was momentarily stunned. "What is this?"
She had been busy just now and hadn't seen the messages in the chat group. So she didn't know that Takumi had gone on a mission.
Looking at the planet, she slowly noticed something unusual.
Takumi then appeared in her office.
"You saw it, right?"
"That planet is for you to research."
"It's a very unique planet. The gases on it can be absorbed, and once absorbed, they can be used without any resistance or rejection when combined."
Takumi smiled as he explained, watching Herta staring at the planet displayed on her computer screen.
Herta was surprised. "Energy?"
"Is it usable?"
"Is it strong?"
"Is it stronger than perpetual motion energy?"
"Planets with energy aren't that rare; there are plenty in the universe."
"But ones that can be absorbed by living beings are very few."
"If it's not that strong, then it's not worth much."
"It'd be drained too easily."
Herta looked at Takumi. If the energy was weak, it wasn't meaningful.
"I'll give you some aliens for research."
"As for draining, don't worry. This planet's energy seems inexhaustible. Many aliens have absorbed from it for years and it's still full."
"I'll also hand over all the data I gathered from that world."
As he said that, Takumi summoned a bunch of aliens and tossed them out.
Seeing them, Herta wrinkled her nose—she found them ugly.
Still, she didn't think too much and called in some robots to preserve them in containment pods.
In addition, Takumi also released many spaceships outside the station—spoils brought back from that world.
He had already obtained extensive data on those spaceships, so the rest of the research would be left to Herta and her team.
Takumi couldn't be bothered.
Herta looked at the unfamiliar ships and nodded.
Even though they usually observed the universe, they could still do other kinds of research.
"If you have anything you want researched in the future, send it over."
"We should have plenty of free time here."
Herta glanced at Takumi, hinting he could send over anything they couldn't handle in his world.
"Sure!"
"Let's leave it at that then. I'm heading off."
She was basically asking for samples. Since Takumi was always running around collecting strange stuff, her team found it invaluable.
They were curious about everything.
Takumi didn't stay long. After handing over the materials, he left.
Back at home, Takumi was completely free.
He didn't need to manage the city; just staying home was fine.
With time to spare, Takumi decided to explore his own world a bit.
While relaxing, Akeno suddenly tagged him in the chat group.
Akeno: [@Takumi, our world seems to be moving.]
[The biblical god says it's because Great Red left, and the world started moving with her.]
Seeing Akeno's message, Takumi was stunned.
Something like that?
shiroyasha: [That dragon is your world's guardian, right?]
[She ran off, so the world naturally followed.]
[In other words, your world might soon be connected to Takumi's.]
[Totally normal.]
[No need to think about it. Obviously, it's Xiaoju's fault.]
[She definitely did it!]
Even before Takumi could speak, shiroyasha jumped in.
She knew. She absolutely knew.
It had to be Xiaoju's fault.
Otherwise, how could that dragon have been brought over by Ophis?
Ophis was a very innocent girl, after all.
Takumi looked at shiroyasha's message and sighed inwardly.
So that's how it was.
Takumi: [Got it. No problem then!]
[Actually, it's perfect. That world coming over could be nice.]
[Maybe we should consider pulling over other members' worlds too?]
Takumi stroked his chin as he spoke.
It would be great if his world became like the Little Garden—a cluster of connected worlds.
There were so many worlds in the group. If they were all brought over, visiting each other would be much easier.
Although some members had already moved to Takumi's world, their home worlds hadn't.
Hmm… maybe it was time to bring their hometowns over as well.
After all, those people were still people.
Bronya: [Great idea. I support it!]
Fujiwara Chika: [I support it too!!]
Sagiri: [Support!]
Yuu: [Support!]
Miko Yotsuya: [Support!]
Kusanagi Izumo: [I wouldn't mind if it's possible.]
Nyaruko: [I support it too!!]
The chat exploded with support for Takumi's proposal.
But Takumi frowned when he saw Nyaruko's message.
Takumi: [@Nyaruko, please shut up!]
[No Eldritch abominations allowed!!]
Come on, letting Nyaruko's world through? That'd be a disaster.
Who knew what freaky things her world contained?
It'd be totally creepy if they actually came floating over.
Nyaruko: [You're discriminating!!!]
[This is a violation of the Intergalactic Rights Act!!!]
[Cthulhu beings are people too!!]
[(?へ?╬)]
This is a crime, you know?
Takumi: [My world, my rules. Please shut up or I'll exile you.]
[Don't think I don't know you've already snuck over!!]
Seriously, talking back?
Did she think he wouldn't notice? That girl had already brought over Kuko and some of her companions.
Their weird aura was way too obvious.
Kaguya Houraisan: [I already kicked them out. Please freeze their bank cards and make them live under a bridge!!]
Kaguya chimed in too.
She had been the one who approved Nyaruko's entry.
But when Nyaruko tried to move in with several others, Kaguya wasn't having it.
So she gave no face and kicked them out.
Too many eldritch horrors in her house would scare the rabbits!
That was absolutely unacceptable!!
