Takumi's words sparked the curiosity of both girls.
After entering the group, Chika Fujiwara had already posted some information about the lore of Honkai and Star Rail. However, she never expected that in another world, she might actually be a character from an anime or game.
Now that Takumi brought it up, both she and Sagiri became even more curious.
Fujiwara Chika:
"Tell me! What's my world like?"
She was eager to find out what kind of anime her world might be from.
Sagiri:
"I'm curious too."
Sagiri was visibly nervous.
What if it was some... adult visual novel?
The thought made her extremely uneasy.
Other group members were also watching this unfold.
Most members already knew the origin of their worlds and their personal life paths, but a few still didn't—like Sagiri, Chika, and Akeno. As for Eucliwood, her world existed in the anime known to Chika and Sagiri since it was an older series.
After discovering her future, Eucliwood chose to isolate herself. Some things were best left untouched.
Akeno's world didn't exist in the anime known to the other girls—maybe it had been censored?
Either way, they hadn't seen it. Otherwise, they would definitely recognize her. Especially Sagiri.
After all, Akeno's world's main girls had very... questionable behavior.
Takumi:
"I'll DM you the info. Your worlds aren't games—they're anime. Better to keep some things private."
"Aside from Zhongli and Himeko, anyone else want to know about their world?"
"I know everyone's backgrounds."
Akeno quickly responded:
"Please send me my world's info too."
She was very concerned about her future trajectory.
Only Akeno responded. Eucliwood remained silent, already informed of her potential fate by Sagiri. Honestly, if immigration were possible, she would move immediately. She might be the only one truly ready.
Once confirmed, Takumi privately messaged the girls their respective anime titles.
Then, in the main chat:
Takumi:
"All sent. Take your time reading."
"Not sure how accurate everything is."
"For all I know, maybe the protagonist was gender-swapped."
"But the general outline should be close."
"Unless someone like me crossed over or world fusion happened."
He stretched his back after sending those out.
Everything important was said.
In this group, things were relaxed. No need to worry about powerful deities.
Just treat the members like eccentric online friends.
Having finished that, Takumi turned his attention to food.
Opening a spatial rift, he disappeared, only to return carrying a large boar-like magical beast, along with vegetables and fruits. All freshly gathered.
In this world, such resources were plentiful.
Thinking about having to hunt every day, Takumi decided to set up automated farms and ranches. He couldn't be hunting forever.
Automation was the way.
The world had seeds left behind by humanity. He could make use of those.
He got to work immediately—designing facilities for food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Fully automated factories and farming systems.
He didn't know when immigrants would arrive, but it was best to be ready.
He had the power to generate resources instantly, but he wasn't planning on being everyone's nanny. He needed others to help develop the civilization and increase his own strength.
Some initial support was fine, but not forever.
After eating, he used his authority to create robots that would begin clearing land for agriculture and breeding programs.
The magical beast domestication plan was officially underway.
After bringing in several magical beast species, Takumi left the rest to the robots and took a break.
Tomorrow, he would build the factories and pharmaceutical plants.
Over the next few days, Takumi was completely focused on infrastructure: food, shelter, medicine, factories, robots, and power systems.
Only when all of this was prepared could it be considered a proper city.
It had finally started to resemble a future capital.
Though the factories weren't yet operational, that would be decided once people actually arrived.
Having arranged everything, Takumi opened the group chat.
Just as he was about to type, a message popped up:
System Message:
"\[Russian Female Executive] has joined the group chat."
Takumi froze.
Russian Female Executive?
Could it be... Big Duck?
The first name that popped into his mind was Bronya.
Takumi:
"Big Duck?"
At the same time, Bronya had just finished acquiring a major company and saw the system message appear before her eyes.
A group chat?
It was projected in front of her, intangible to the touch.
It must be bound to her then.
Bronya had read web novels before and quickly pieced things together.
Was this her cheat code?
Just then, another message popped up.
Big Duck?
Who was calling her that?!
Changing her name in the chat, she replied:
Bronya:
"(???) Who are you calling Duck?!"
She knew Takumi was teasing her.
Takumi:
"I knew it! It really is Big Duck!"
Seeing her reply, Takumi burst out laughing.
It really was her!
He had a soft spot for white-haired cool beauties, and Bronya was no exception.
The other group members soon chimed in too.
A new member had arrived.
