"Takeru-nii!" At that moment, Ui, who had just emerged, walked over curiously.

"Eh, you're Hirasawa Ui!" Looking at Ui, Mai said in surprise.

"Yes, do you know me?" Hearing her, Ui asked, puzzled.

"Of course! During the monster invasion, the power you displayed... I've kept recordings all along. Oh, sorry, how rude of me. I'm Sakurajima Mai." Hearing Ui, Mai said excitedly.

Seeing Mai's appearance, like a total fangirl, Takeru was stunned. Ui, looking at Mai, also seemed somewhat at a loss.

Hearing her words, Takeru understood that last time's incident had not only made Ui and the others famous but also thoroughly impressed many Reincarnators. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

However, Takeru couldn't say if it was good or bad, and it depended on future developments. But above all, strength was most important.

"Well then, Mai-san, we have other matters, so we'll take our leave." Thinking this, Takeru said directly.

"Please wait, Takeru-kun, Hirasawa-kun!" Hearing Takeru was leaving, Mai quickly called out to stop them.

"Hmm? Is there something else?" Hearing her, Takeru looked at her curiously.

"Though it might be presumptuous, may I join your team?" Hearing Takeru, Mai followed up.

"What makes you say that?" Hearing her, Takeru looked at her with interest.

"During the last monster invasion, I watched your coordinated battle many times. It was clear that your synergy wasn't something improvised could achieve. Also, afterward, I read the reports… you're all from the same school. So I'm certain you must have formed a team or have some kind of agreement!"

Hearing Takeru's question, Mai spoke seriously.

"Clap, clap. You're correct. We did indeed form a mutual assistance team. But we are not familiar at all. Why do you want to join us? And what benefits can you bring us?" Hearing her, Takeru spoke calmly.

"Not being familiar just requires spending some time together. As for why I want to join you, I hope to gain companions I can entrust my back to. Regarding what I can bring you, I'm not sure yet, but I'll work hard to do whatever I can."

"Moreover, since you formed a team, you probably wouldn't reject new members joining, right?" Hearing Takeru, Mai looked intently at Takeru as she spoke.

From the brief exchange, she understood that even if Takeru wasn't the team leader, he was definitely one of the core members.

"Hard to argue with that. I understand your request. We'll consider it seriously. However, what do you mean by 'spending some time together'?" Hearing her, Takeru showed a smile and asked.

"In a few days, I'll be transferring to Sobu High School. I think we can get to know each other there." Hearing Takeru, Mai said seriously.

"You're transferring to Sobu High?" Hearing her, Takeru was stunned.

"Yes. Actually, I planned this during the monster invasion, but I had some matters to handle on my side, so it was delayed a few days." Hearing Takeru's question, Mai didn't hide it and spoke directly.

"Is that so? I understand. In that case, let's discuss this later." Hearing her, Takeru nodded understandingly, waved at her, and left with Ui.

"Takeru-nii, do you know her?" After leaving, Ui asked curiously.

"Yes, I happened to meet her during this mission. But I used Transformation Technique to become an old man. She was somewhat helpful to me. When two others looked down on me, she still took me in and even gave me gold coins." Hearing Ui's question, Takeru spoke directly.

"Eh? Takeru-nii, you really have a mischievous streak. But from what you say, Mai-san seems like a good person." Hearing Takeru, Ui couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle lightly.

"Yes, her personality is good, and she seems strong. If she wants to join the team, she passes my assessment." Hearing Ui, Takeru nodded with a light laugh.

"Takeru, Ui!" Soon, Tsumugi also arrived at the Reincarnator Hall. Seeing Takeru and the others, her eyes lit up, and she waved as she came over.

"Mugi-nee!" Seeing her, Ui quickly greeted.

Since it wasn't appropriate to discuss Reincarnation World matters here, everyone exchanged brief greetings. Takeru checked the time, bid farewell, and directly returned to the main world.

When Takeru regained consciousness, he noticed he was back in the main world, with Emilia and the others beside him.

"You're back, Takeru!" Noticing Takeru's return, the five showed happy smiles.

"Yes, everyone. For now, it might not be convenient to take you home. Let me take you to a hotel first." Looking at the five, Takeru hesitated slightly before speaking directly.

"What's a hotel?" Hearing Takeru, Felt asked, puzzled.

"A hotel is roughly equivalent to an inn in your world." Hearing her, Takeru said directly.

"I see." Hearing Takeru, they spoke thoughtfully.

Because of the contract, many memories had surfaced in their minds. They finally understood why Takeru said they might never return to the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica.

Subsequently, Takeru directly called Izumi, asking her to arrange a car. Although Izumi was puzzled why Takeru needed a car so late, she quickly made arrangements.

After the call, Takeru directly used Shadow Clone Technique, creating one clone. The clone then returned home to prevent Miu and the others from worrying.

As for Takeru's main body, after the car arrived, he took the five girls downstairs. Receiving the car keys from a woman with a respectful gaze, Takeru signaled the five to get in, then drove toward a luxury hotel near home.

After booking a presidential suite, under many envious gazes, Takeru led the somewhat reserved Emilia and the others into the suite.

"Don't disturb us unless necessary." Telling the attendant, Takeru sent them away.

"Whew, truly unbelievable. It's night, yet bright as day. And so many people on the streets, and metal boxes moving on their own. Is this your world?" Once no outsiders were around, Beatrice exclaimed.

"Seriously, too amazing." Emilia also marveled.

"Rem also needs to study these things properly." Rem said seriously.

"There's no need to rush. I'll teach you all properly later. But one thing: this world is mostly ordinary people. Unless necessary, try to avoid using magic in crowds, as it easily causes commotion."

"Of course, if someone foolishly provokes you, no need to hold back. No matter what happens, I will protect you." Looking at the five, Takeru said with a light laugh.

"Later, I'll have someone help you get ID cards for this world. It's important proof of identity. For now, you can rest or learn about this world's information." Saying this, Takeru manifested some books for everyone, simultaneously using a clone to teach them to read.

Seeing Takeru's actions, they studied seriously. As for Takeru, seeing everything proceeding orderly, he directly returned home.

"Eh? Two masters?" When Takeru's main body also returned, Hinatsuru looked puzzled at Takeru's body and clone.

Seeing this, Takeru directly dispelled the clone, digested its memories, then smiled again at Hinatsuru, Miu, and the others.

"Ai, Miu, come here. I have something for you. And Karin and Miki too." Looking at them, Takeru beckoned.

Hearing Takeru, the four came over curiously.

Takeru directly took out four Beginner Enhancement Potions.

"Eh, this is what I drank before!" Seeing the potions, Miu's eyes lit up.

"Correct. These are for you. Use them now, they should give you significant improvement." Hearing her, Takeru said with a smile.
