For Hajime to become light.
It sounded ridiculous—but strangely plausible.
Tiga-world's "light" might differ from Fairy Tail's elemental "light."
But the Fog Space didn't play by the rules of reason or logic.
Power-sharing in this space was 100% unconditional.
So if Fairy Tail Hajime achieved light-elementalization, all other Hajimes would inherit that same capability.
That alone shattered the limits of world rules.
Once confirmed as feasible, Dungeon Hajime stepped forward:
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Sure, he'd always played it safe in the dungeon.
But that was just because he didn't have any cheats back then.
Now that he did, he wanted to contribute—not just wait around.
Even if he didn't have to do anything, doing something felt right.
"Not at the moment."
Campione Hajime shook his head.
"Elementalization is up to Fairy Tail Hajime. We just need to wait."
Apparently, Fairy Tail Hajime had transmigrated into a child and trained under Makarov for years.
Though his magical talent was only average, his knowledge and mindset from modern Earth gave him a unique edge.
Through sheer dedication, he became one of the youngest S-Class mages in the guild's history.
After setting the plan in the Fog Space, he returned to focus entirely on achieving light-elementalization.
Once he succeeded, the rest of the plan could unfold smoothly.
"I see."
Dungeon Hajime nodded in understanding.
His own world didn't even have elementalization—magic in Orario was more like medieval fantasy.
He'd never heard of anyone turning into an element.
"Let's hope it doesn't take him too long..."
He was about to joke that they'd all be old men before it happened, when—
Tap... tap... tap...
Clear footsteps echoed through the fog.
The trio immediately turned toward the sound.
"Hahaha! Hajime the Magnificent has returned!"
From the mist emerged a man clad in a black cloak with starlight patterns—radiating pure style.
Dungeon Hajime was just about to ask who he was, when—
The other two Hajimes shouted at once:
"You're finally back! I knew I made the right call!"
"So? Did it work? Did you master elementalization?!"
Tiga and Campione Hajime rushed forward.
"Of course."
Fairy Tail Hajime smirked with pride.
"Come on, who do you think I am? I'm me—a magical genius!"
Clap clap clap!
Clap clap clap!
Tiga and Campione Hajime clapped wildly.
"Amazing! As expected of Hajime—as expected of me!"
"I knew I was a genius!"
They took a moment to proudly flatter themselves.
"..."
Hajime from the Danmachi world was speechless.
Are you really flattering yourselves this shamelessly? Doesn't that make your face burn with embarrassment?
But then again—
He was also Hajime.
So technically… they were complimenting him too?
Oh.
That's fine, then.
Just then, the Hajime from the Fairy Tail world noticed him too.
"Is this... a newcomer?"
"Correct."
The Hajime from the Campione world nodded and gave a simple introduction.
After briefly introducing Danmachi-world Hajime, the four exchanged smiles and simultaneously raised their right hands, placing them together.
Their powers instantly synchronized and merged.
Hajime from the Danmachi world closed his eyes and felt the changes—sure enough, his inner strength had significantly increased.
Although his overall mana reserves hadn't grown much,
his understanding of light magic had deepened tremendously.
But the biggest surprise—
"I've completely mastered elementalization?!"
Tiga-world Hajime was ecstatic.
Without hesitation, he activated magic and transformed into a sphere of light.
Curious and never having used magic before, Danmachi Hajime copied him and turned into a light ball as well.
The two glowing orbs floated opposite one another...
Looking hilariously like two floating light bulbs.
Light bulbs that could fly.
"..."
Campione Hajime suppressed his desire to comment on the ridiculous sight of the two bouncing light bulbs, and instead turned to Fairy Tail Hajime.
"The power you shared with us—surely it's not just elementalization, right?
I haven't had time to analyze it completely, but I can sense something... stronger in it."
"Hmph! Someone's got sharp eyes."
Fairy Tail Hajime smirked proudly.
"I only intended to master elementalization at first.
But for some reason, when Master Makarov saw how hard I was training, he thought I was preparing to face some undefeatable enemy—so he insisted on teaching me one of the guild's most secret techniques."
