Seeing she had missed out on a powerful piece of equipment, Miu felt disappointed but didn't press the matter, having experienced the pain earlier and not wanting to endure it again.
"Since this one isn't compatible, you should continue practicing your Nen. Once it reaches a certain level, doing things like this won't be too difficult." Seeing Miu's expression, Takeru patted her head reassuringly.
Later, Takeru used Black Marlin to quickly clean the bathroom bathtub.
Since Miu was no longer an ordinary person, Takeru no longer hid many supernatural abilities from her, except for the absolutely confidential Reincarnation Space.
After accompanying Miu in some training, both retired for the night.
The next day, Takeru rose early, sorted through his memories, and shifted his mindset back. After his usual morning workout, he quickly prepared breakfast for Miu.
To compensate for her inability to use the Teigu yesterday, Takeru took out a Spider Eagle's Egg and a giant strawberry, made a simple dish, and prepared a fruit salad.
Waking up to this feast, Miu was thrilled and gave Takeru a kiss.
"Alright, go wash up!" Seeing Miu's excitement, Takeru feigned a disgusted expression.
Noticing his look, Miu pouted at him.
After some playful banter, Takeru and Miu enjoyed their breakfast heartily. Packing the remaining fruit salad, Takeru divided it, giving one portion to Miu, keeping one for himself, and storing most of it in his item storage.
Seeing the large fruit salad disappear, Miu was stunned.
"It's a special ability of mine." Seeing Miu's astonishment, Takeru explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Miu quickly adjusted, though curious, having witnessed many peculiar things already.
Heading out, Takeru saw Ebina already waiting. Greeting her, he handed her the prepared fruit salad.
"Eh? This is for me?!" Looking at the lunchbox, Ebina was flustered.
"Yeah, it's my special fruit salad. I wanted you to try it." Seeing her uncertainty, Takeru said with a light smile.
"Ah! Yes, I understand!" Hearing Takeru, Ebina shyly accepted the lunchbox.
"Alright, let's go to school." Seeing Ebina accept it, Takeru smiled again.
As usual, arriving at school, Takeru greeted familiar faces before heading to his seat to train.
After school, Takeru and the others gathered at the Service Club's meeting place.
Hachiman and Yuta, noticing Nibutani and Hiratsuka's presence, were curious. Having left the Reincarnation Space lobby early yesterday, they were unaware of their induction.
Seeing their confusion, Yukino quickly introduced that Nibutani had joined the club and Hiratsuka would be visiting regularly.
Hearing this, Hachiman felt things might get troublesome, looking at Hiratsuka. Noticing his gaze, Hiratsuka unceremoniously threw a punch at him, stopping just before his face.
Feeling the gust from her fist, Hachiman narrowed his eyes, surprised that Hiratsuka's strength had increased so much after just one game world.
"Well, everyone's here. By the way, Nibutani, I forgot to ask earlier, what's your Reincarnation number?" By the time Takeru arrived, everyone was present. Looking at the lively club, Takeru turned to Nibutani.
"That would be... 51." Hearing Takeru, Nibutani showed her Reincarnation watch.
"And do you know the highest number among you?" Takeru asked curiously.
"Probably 52," Hiratsuka interjected.
"I see." Hearing this, Takeru nodded understandingly but said no more.
Takeru inquired about this to understand the Reincarnation Space's recruitment pattern, but it seemed random. Perhaps invitations were sent out periodically, but many declined, explaining the low membership.
Now, with frequent supernatural incidents making ordinary people uneasy, more might be accepting the invitations.
"Everyone, have some tea, and there are snacks." Seeing everyone engaged in lively discussion, Tsumugi smilingly brought out prepared black tea and began serving.
"Thanks, Tsumugi-chan!" Seeing the snacks, Yui's eyes lit up, thanking her happily.
"Not at all." Hearing Yui's thanks, Tsumugi shook her head lightly.
"Also, everyone can try this." At this point, Takeru took out the fruit salad he prepared that morning.
"Eh? What's this?" Noticing the oversized strawberry pieces, Umaru exclaimed in surprise, eagerly spearing one with a toothpick and putting it in her mouth. The familiar flavor burst forth, making her close her eyes in delight.
Seeing Umaru's reaction, everyone grew curious and followed suit, tasting the fruit. While the other fruits were fine, those who tried the strawberry showed surprise.
"It's delicious! Where did you buy these strawberries?" After trying one, Tsumugi asked curiously.
"These are from the Hunter World, grown on the backs of Noggin Lugging Turtles in the Misly Wetlands," Umaru directly explained.
"Right. Since the manifestation quota is limited, I couldn't bring out many." Seeing everyone's astonished looks, Takeru explained with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone showed regret but wisely didn't make unreasonable requests.
"By the way, Yukino, why don't you tell Hiratsuka-sensei and Nibutani about that place?" Enjoying Tsumugi's black tea, Takeru suggested to Yukino.
"I understand." Hearing Takeru, Yukino nodded calmly. She would have explained anyway.
Hearing this, the two looked even more curious.
Without keeping them waiting, Yukino quickly explained the Reincarnation Space's rules.
Meanwhile, Takeru inquired about everyone's mission experiences. He learned that Umaru, Taihei, Ritsu, and Sylphyn were grouped in the same world… quite fortunate aside from Takeru himself.
Takeru wondered if the Reincarnation Space's grouping correlated with how much time people spent together normally.
"Speaking of which, after being away for two months, I'm planning a beach trip this weekend. Anyone interested?" Suddenly, Tsumugi asked the group.
"A vacation? Great idea! I'd like to go. Oh, and can I bring Miu?" Hearing Tsumugi, Takeru smiled.
"Of course!" Hearing Takeru's immediate agreement, Tsumugi quickly replied.
"The beach! I want to go too!" Ritsu said eagerly, looking at Tsumugi.
"Welcome, welcome!" Seeing everyone's enthusiastic expressions, Tsumugi smiled.
"By the way, Tsumugi, if there are any expenses, get them from Yukino. Consider this a club activity," Takeru suddenly remembered something and said.
"No need, no need. I'll talk to my family." Hearing Takeru, Tsumugi quickly declined.
"If you need any help, I can ask my family too!" Hearing Tsumugi, Sylphyn chimed in cheerfully.
"Good. Then let's decide on the participants tomorrow and depart Saturday morning. How does that sound?" Seeing most people agreed, Tsumugi said happily.
"Sure." Hearing her, Takeru nodded with a smile.
After further discussion, when the time seemed right, Takeru bid everyone farewell.
