"I understand," Seeing this, although Ai was still reluctant, she let go of Takeru. After all, Takeru had left her a lot of delicacies, such as BB popcorn, Chocolate Mushrooms, and the newly cultivated Pudding Mushrooms. At least she wouldn't lack delicious food during this time.
And all these things were placed in her storage bracelet, the one Takeru had bought earlier with Konomi. Besides Ai, Hinata's group of five and Renge had also received one. Aside from that, Takeru still had one left.
Because Miu already had a storage ring, which had a space of ten cubic meters, much larger than the storage bracelet.
"Ai, goodbye. I'll miss you," Soon, everyone gathered again in the room, and Miu gently hugged Ai and said.
"Me too, Miu-nee, I'll miss you too," Hearing Miu's words, Ai said directly.
"Ai, next time we meet, I will definitely surpass you," Noa came to Ai's side and said to her.
"I won't lose, Noa," Looking at Noa's reluctant expression, Ai said with a light smile.
"Ai-nee, goodbye," Renge came to Ai's side, hugged her, and said.
"Renge, you have to work hard too from now on"...
Then, after waving goodbye to Ai, Takeru led everyone back to the castle.
As for Miki, Rem, Beatrice, Leone, Akame, and Kurome, they would drive back to the villa and then teleport to the island.
After returning to the island, Takeru had Hinata and the others pack up.
It was time to take them home.
After storing some delicacies in the storage bracelets of Hinata and the others, Takeru teleported them back to the villa and then walked them home.
"Hana, see you in a few days," At the door of Hana's house, Takeru waved goodbye to Hana.
"Master, and everyone, goodbye," Hearing Takeru's words, Hana gently hugged Takeru and said.
"Hee hee, Hana, you can come play at my house tomorrow. Although Miyako-nee's cooking isn't as good as Rem's and Ai's, it's still very tasty," Hearing Hana's words, Hinata said to Hana.
"I know. I'll come," Hearing Hinata's words, Hana said seriously.
"Then it's settled," Hearing Hinata's words, Hinata smiled. As for Shirosaki Haruka beside her, she also looked pleased. Although they had been separated for only a little over a week, she could clearly feel that her daughter had grown up a lot.
After saying goodbye to Hana and Haruka, Takeru and the others came to Noa's house.
"My Noa, you're back," As soon as the door opened, Noa's mother, Himesaka Emily, excitedly walked out and hugged her.
"Mom, Master and Hinata and the others are still here," Seeing Emily's action, Noa quickly reminded her.
"Ah, sorry. Takeru, and Hinata, Koyori, Kanon, would you like to come in and have something to eat?" Hearing Noa's reminder, Emily stood up again and smiled, inviting Takeru and the others.
"No, I still need to take Hinata, Koyori, and Kanon home. Another time," Hearing her invitation, Takeru smiled and shook his head.
"Is that so? What a pity. I wanted you to try my cooking," Hearing Takeru's refusal, Emily looked regretful.
After saying goodbye to Emily, Takeru took Hinata, Koyori, and others to Hinata's house.
"Miyako-nee, Mom, I'm home," As soon as they arrived at the door, Hinata shouted excitedly into the house.
"Co-coming," Hearing Hinata's voice, Hoshino Miyako on the second floor came down somewhat flustered.
"Miyako-nee," The moment she saw Miyako, Hinata excitedly pounced towards her.
But at the critical moment, Takeru caught Hinata. After all, with her pouncing force, Miyako, being an ordinary person, might get hurt.
"Master?" Seeing herself caught, Hinata looked at Takeru puzzledly.
"Your sister is an ordinary person. You need to control your strength, understand?" looking at the dazed Hinata, Takeru reminded her helplessly.
"Ah, I almost hurt Miyako-nee. I'm sorry, Miyako-nee," Hearing Takeru's words, Hinata said pitifully to Hoshino Miyako.
"No... Hinata, just be careful," Looking at Hinata's pitiful expression, Miyako said somewhat softly, mainly because Takeru's presence made her a bit shy.
"Well, Hinata, we'll be leaving now. I'll come pick you up again in a few days," Then, Takeru said to Hinata.
"Okay, Master, and Koyori, Kanon, see you in a few days," Hearing Takeru's words, Hinata quickly nodded.
After saying goodbye to Hinata, only Koyori and Kanon remained. Because their homes were very close, they were quickly sent home.
"Koyori, Kanon, see you in a few days," Takeru bent down slightly, hugged the two, and said.
"Master, thank you for taking care of us these past days," Saying this, Kanon kissed Takeru on the cheek.
Sensing Kanon's action, Takeru showed a smile and rubbed her head.
Regarding Kanon, she wasn't very noticeable under the spotlight of Hinata and the others, but this girl never caused trouble, quietly staying by Koyori's side like a shadow. But when something happened, she seemed very reliable.
"Takeru-san, thank you for taking care of Koyori and Kanon these past days," When they parted, Koyori and Kanon's mothers smiled and expressed their gratitude to Takeru.
The relationship between Koyori and Kanon seemed to be inherited from their respective mothers, who were also very close friends.
After saying goodbye to them, Takeru teleported directly back to the apartment, then entered the portable space. First, he planted the Marshmallow Tree and Earth Berry that Hachiman had given him. After catalyzing them for a while, these plants quickly grew.
Takeru picked some to taste and showed an expression of enjoyment. Both the marshmallows and the Earth Berries were very delicious.
Of course, having been exposed to BB Corn and Paradise Rice, Takeru wasn't very amazed.
However, having two more different delicacies in his portable space still made Takeru very happy.
And for those who loved sweets and strawberry-flavored foods, they would definitely feel extremely surprised.
Takeru also didn't forget the Earth Berry's description: it was a sweet loved by dragons. Speaking of dragons, Takeru thought of Wendy.
'Skeleton dragons were also dragons, right? Coincidentally, Wendy's situation had been a bit unstable lately. Perhaps these Earth Berries could cheer her up.'
Thinking this, Takeru collected some marshmallows and Earth Berries, then brought over a Catalyst Slime and had it catalyze the two new plants.
Then he went to the Recycling Slimes and Gourmet Slimes to collect some fertilizer and gourmet dust.
It was worth mentioning that during this period of slime splitting, due to sufficient nutrition, the number of Recycling Slimes had reached 1,236. Only now was the growth rate slowly decreasing.
The number of Gourmet Slimes, under Takeru's continuous feeding, had also reached 523. The number of attribute-less slimes had also reached over 130.
The number of Catalyst Slimes had also reached over 80. There were 36 Healing Slimes.
And under the supply of large amounts of magic ores from Takeru, plus their own splitting, the number of Magic Slimes had also reached over 80.
Due to the increase in numbers, some of the magic ores Takeru had invested had been returned.
Moreover, in his spare time, Takeru would also absorb the magic power of the Magic Slimes to increase his own magic reserve. However, perhaps because the number was still small, the efficiency wasn't very high.
But Takeru believed that when their number reached the thousands, they could definitely achieve higher efficiency than replenishing magic power from Diablo and the others.
Also, magic ores were a very good resource. They were excellent for making weapons or armor, or even simply for absorbing to replenish magic power.
There were also Milk Slimes. Through Takeru's cultivation, their number had also reached over 80.
Perhaps because they were purified through Moomoo Milk, the taste of the milk they produced was very similar to Moomoo Milk.
Aside from these, there were Skeleton Slimes, Demonized Slimes, and Blood Slimes.
Under Takeru's free-range care, after over twenty days in the portable space, their numbers had also increased to over twenty.
Finally, Takeru had also trained a new type of slime.
[Purification Slime: Evolved by consuming large amounts of purification power. All attributes enhanced. Can purify negative statuses, including but not limited to curses, poisoning, burns, frostbite, paralysis. Besides purification, it also has super strong cleaning ability for stains. When magic power is sufficient, there is a probability of producing purification liquid, with effects equivalent to its own purification power.]
