After handling things on Sagiri's end, Takumi returned to his world. Back home, he began settling in Sagiri and her mother. First, he led the people he brought from Sagiri's world to the area where Miori Shiba had prepared a group of robots. Once released, the newcomers stared in awe at the surroundings and the robots awaiting them. "Line up." "Follow the robots to your designated residences." "I've already arranged the housing." "The robots will also issue you IDs and terminals." "If you have any questions, ask the AI." "You'll also be assigned roles or jobs." "Superpower awakening serums will be distributed later." Takumi gave them a concise briefing. Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. He was delivering exactly what he promised, and they were excited. Once the arrangements were set, the robots began escorting the new citizens, while Takumi uploaded their data to the network terminal—ensuring IDs could be processed. As for their origin, it was noted: Eromanga World. With that done, Takumi messaged Sagiri. Takumi: [@Sagiri, where do you want to live?] [I'll just place your house in the city.] [You can go to school there and learn magic and such.] He didn't give her time to object. If left to her, she'd insist on being his next-door neighbor. But his house was on a mountain. Getting groceries there was a hassle. Living in the city was just more practical. Sagiri: [I want to live next to Takumi-oniichan!!] As expected. Takumi: [Nope!] [You'd have a hard time even buying food up here.] [You two would starve as shut-ins.] [Plus, you need to attend school and study magic.] He rejected her outright. Better to get Sagiri out of shut-in habits and into a proper school life. Even her mom could take magic lessons. Sagiri hesitated inside the imaginary space, then consulted her mom. Mrs. Izumi responded immediately: "Takumi-kun is right." "We should live in the city." "Otherwise, it'd be hard for you to get to school." "You can't stay home all the time, can you?" "Besides, the city is nice." "And you can always contact Takumi whenever you miss him." She said that last part with a teasing smile. Sagiri flushed bright red. "Okay then..." With her mom's decision made, Sagiri didn't argue. She relayed it to Takumi and told him to arrange it. Takumi got to work immediately. He placed Sagiri's house near a school in the city. Once done, he knocked on their door. The mother and daughter, having noticed the change outside, quickly opened it. Takumi handed them their new IDs and terminals. "Here you go." "You're now official citizens here." "Soon, Sagiri will start school." "This whole area is populated with kids like her." "Kasumi and Enju live nearby." "I'm sure Sagiri will make good friends here." "If more members immigrate, I'll place them here too." "This can be your little community." Yes—this was the kids' zone. Even Kisara Tendo lived nearby. Future immigrants would be assigned to this area as well. Sagiri nodded, accepting the plan. There weren't many others asking to immigrate right now, but that might change. Takumi wrapped up the chat and left, leaving Sagiri and her mom to adjust with the help of AI. If they needed anything, they could also ask Miori Shiba. With those tasks complete, Takumi headed home. Lilia was already waiting for him. When she saw him, her eyes sparkled. "Did you eat yet?" "I made dinner." Takumi blinked in surprise. She could cook now? "Nice!" "I haven't eaten yet." Lilia got up and went to the kitchen, soon returning with the food. Takumi was even more surprised—it looked and smelled great. He eagerly dug in. It tasted amazing. She really had learned to cook! Satisfied, the two chatted casually at home. At the same time, Takumi monitored the group chat. This was the time when the chat was most active. He immediately @-mentioned Asuna. Takumi: [@Yuuki Asuna, I'm done with everything.] Time to deal with her situation. Asuna responded quickly. She had been staying in town and refused to go outside. After joining the group, she sold her gear, got some cash, and found an inn. It was the safest spot. She had been waiting for Takumi to come get her. Now that he was finally free, she let out a breath of relief. Yuuki Asuna: [Takumi-san, I'm ready.] [Sorry for the trouble.] [I'll repay you those points as soon as I can.] She'd already made up her mind. She wanted out. She'd owe Takumi some points. So what if he took a few people or things from her world? As Bronya had put it— It's not like he was destroying their world. So what if he borrowed a little? It was totally fine.
