As time arrived, Takeru, who was being swallowed by black light, found he wasn't directly sent to the mission world this time but instead arrived in the Reincarnation Space.
Seeing this change, Takeru was stunned, then directly looked at the prompt.
[Ding! Detected that Reincarnator No. 3 has experienced one reward mission world and six regular mission worlds. From now on, after each mission world, you can rest for an additional ten days in the main world. You can also choose to continue with missions!]
Looking at the prompt, Takeru was also stunned, 'It seemed the mission world system was quite humane.'
Takeru knew future mission worlds would undoubtedly become increasingly difficult. For those whose strength fell into a vicious cycle, more main world time would allow them a slight breather.
Of course, for Takeru, mission world's rewards were still very attractive. As for danger, as long as it wasn't a planet-destroying world upon arrival, Takeru was quite confident.
Then, Takeru directly operated his Reincarnation Watch and selected to go to the mission world. Yukino and the others also encountered this issue. After pondering, they firmly chose to go to the mission world as well… they didn't want to fall behind too much.
With Takeru's choice, soon, Takeru and the others disappeared again. When Takeru regained consciousness, he was once again in a special world.
…
Besides Takeru, three others were surrounded by a light barrier: two women and one man. However, Takeru didn't recognize the three at all.
Looking outside, Takeru found they were on a busy street. But due to the light barrier, others couldn't see them, instinctively avoiding Takeru's group.
Nearby was a fountain. Looking at the surrounding houses with red-tiled roofs, the highest buildings were only about five or six stories, mostly three-story.
The streets were bustling with people, but many had cat heads, dog heads, or resembled lizardmen.
The means of transportation didn't rely on gasoline, electricity, or horsepower but on a special type of lizard.
Seeing this, Takeru felt a sense of familiarity.
Without thinking, Takeru directly looked at the mission and world synopsis.
[World Synopsis: This is a world where Mana and Divine Protections exist. Those favored by the world receive Divine Protections. Communicating with Lesser Spirits allows forming contracts with them! The world has three common special professions: Magic Users, Spirit Arts Users, Knights! Current location: Dragon Kingdom Lugunica]
[Main Mission One: Survive for one month]
[Side Mission: Hidden...]
Looking at the world synopsis and combining the surrounding scenery, Takeru quickly deduced which world this was, [Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World].
Thinking this, Takeru felt a bit of a headache. Because in this world, even with his super strong attributes, he couldn't say he was absolutely safe.
Perhaps in direct confrontation, Takeru feared no one, even the legendary Witches.
But the strongest things in this world weren't strength or magic, but the rule-based Divine Protections and Authorities.
Return by Death, the Witch who rewrites reality, even her Witch Cult Archbishops possessed special Authorities, and the Three Great Witchbeasts.
Thinking this, Takeru sighed.
In this world, one absolutely must not act recklessly. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died. However, normally, Takeru and the others probably wouldn't encounter beings of that level.
After all, even if Takeru clashed head-on with such existences, he might not survive, let alone the others who would be cannon fodder.
Then, looking at the three still unconscious individuals, Takeru thought for a moment, used the Transformation Technique, turning himself into an old man on his last legs, then also fell to the ground...
Not long after Takeru lay down, one man regained consciousness. After ascertaining his situation, he quickly looked at potential teammates.
Seeing two were women, he smiled. But noticing Takeru, who had transformed into an old man, he was baffled, then soon revealed a cold smile.
However, he didn't act rashly. First, he observed the surroundings, then checked his mission description. Seeing the world synopsis, he frowned. Seeing he only needed to survive a month, he stroked his chin and thought.
"Mm..." Soon, the two women also regained consciousness, quickly confirmed their situation, then looked around.
"Ah, Yuya-kun, please take care of me during this mission!" One woman clearly knew the man and excitedly went to him, charmingly speaking.
"Hehe, sure, sure!" Hearing the woman's words, the man showed a lecherous smile, then casually groped her!
"How annoying!" Feeling the man's action, the woman said coquettishly.
"Haha!" Facing the woman's flattery, the man laughed. However, his gaze turned to the other girl. Seeing her beautiful figure, his eyes flashed with greed.
As for the other girl, Sakurajima Mai, seeing the two, also frowned. Then, looking at the still unconscious Takeru, she hesitated.
"Hehe, I am Urabe Yuya, I've experienced three worlds and this is the fourth. Let's work hard to survive in this world together!" Soon, Yuya directly went to Mai's side, lecherously looking at her.
The woman who actively approached Yuya earlier, seeing his action, looked at Mai with filled with jealousy and displeasure.
Noticing the rude gaze in Yuya's eyes, Mai slightly frowned but didn't act out directly.
"So what do you plan to do? And what about him?" Mai forced herself to calm down, then spoke calmly, simultaneously pointing at Takeru and asking.
"Hmph, of course, abandon him! Looking at him, he probably can't even walk. He might not even live a month. This isn't a safe place. Carrying dead weight won't do us any good, right, Yuya-kun?" Hearing Mai's words, the woman instantly spoke directly.
"Although Akemi's words are somewhat rude, they aren't wrong." Hearing the woman's words, Yuya said with a light laugh.
In fact, if Mai weren't a beauty, he wouldn't bother with her.
"Is that so? Sorry then, I decided to team up with him." Seeing this, Mai spoke directly.
"Hmph, someone who doesn't know what's good for her. Yuya-kun, let's not mind them!" Hearing Mai say this, the woman seized the chance to speak to the man.
"Don't say that. It's rare for us to gather here by fate. Let's see the situation first." Hearing Akemi's words, Yuya hesitated, then spoke.
The reason for lingering was simply Mai's beauty. Also, this world probably wasn't safe. Having one more person, which is Mai, might provide some help.
Also, he wanted to see if Takeru had any points or evaluations. If Takeru had some value, then he could find a place for Takeru to stay for a month.
Akemi, seeing Yuya say this, though angry inside, wanting protection, glared hatefully at Mai and Takeru, then sulked while waiting nearby.
This wait lasted over three minutes. Even after the light barrier disappeared, Takeru still showed no sign of waking.
Seeing this, Yuya frowned. Having experienced several worlds, he knew that generally, waking up earlier meant stronger strength, and later meant weaker. Though not absolute, it held significant reference value.
And this was the first time he saw someone not wake up even after the light disappeared. As for whether Takeru was pretending to sleep, the thought just flashed in his mind then quickly vanished. Because Takeru hadn't moved since earlier, and his breathing was very slow but relatively even.
"Yuya-kun, let's leave quickly!" Seeing the light barrier disappear, the woman couldn't help but speak.
"Wait a bit longer." Looking at Takeru, then at Mai, the man also said through gritted teeth.
Because the light disappeared, Takeru's group of four could now be seen by the world's inhabitants. Many noticed this peculiar group and looked at them with strange looks.
Takeru, lying on the ground, hadn't expected the four not to leave. But sensing it was about time, he pretended to wake up, then slowly rubbed his eyes.
"How did I end up lying here? Where is this? Where are my glasses?" Directly firing off three consecutive questions, Takeru staggeringly got up.
Seeing this, Mai came over to help Takeru up.
"Thank you, young lady!" Speaking in a weak tone, Takeru gently spoke to the girl.
"It's okay. Are you alright, old sir?" Looking at Takeru, Mai asked hesitantly.
"N-no problem. Just a bit old. I remember now… I seem to have a mission!" Suddenly, Takeru spoke as if suddenly realizing.
