However, Hyoizaburo and Yuiyui could also understand Megumin's mood.
Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, just listening to Megumin's description made them very moved by the Dimension City.
It can only be said that a Dimension City capable of connecting all worlds is incredibly attractive to the Crimson Demon Clan, who suffer from chuunibyou per capita.
After all, this is an opportunity to turn the dreams of a middle school student into reality!
It was precisely with this in mind that Megumin was so excited to join the Dimension City.
"Since you like it so much, then go ahead and don't worry about us; we will take care of Komekko."
After their initial helplessness, Hyoizaburo immediately expressed his support and asked Megumin not to have any worries about them.
Although he was a little reluctant to let her go, children have their own lives.
It is rare for Megumin to have such a great opportunity. As parents, they really don't want her to give it up. She shouldn't be held back.
As parents, although they also hope that their children will be around to fulfill their filial piety, more importantly, they hope that their children can make a difference.
If their children were to give up or miss a development opportunity because of their existence, it would be a tragedy.
For parents, this is sadder than the unfilial piety of their children. They might even get angry and slap such a foolish child.
After all, while it sounds good to stay because you are filial, it sounds much worse if you end up blaming your parents for dragging you down later in life.
"Yes, Megumin, you don't need to think too much. Anyway, it's not like you can't come back at all. If you feel homesick, just come back and see us when you have time."
"As long as you take care of yourself out there, nothing else matters. We have each other to take care of things at home, isn't that more reliable than you?"
Yuiyui also echoed her support and comforted Megumin, trying her best to let her let go of her worries.
"Is this... really possible?"
Megumin couldn't help but be very happy when she heard her parents express support, but she was a little overwhelmed for a while.
After all, this was not as simple as going on a long trip; it was more like immigrating abroad!
Finally, she had asked her family to separate.
After calming down, Megumin couldn't help but panic when she thought about this.
Although she had gone out once before, she had not gone far, and now she was suddenly so far away from home. This made Megumin very confused.
Just like all children going out to work for the first time, she had all kinds of uneasiness in her heart.
"Of course, if you like it, just go ahead; we all support you."
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with it. It's not much different from when you went out to work hard before. It's just that this time you have to settle outside for a long time."
The two of them also knew that Megumin was uneasy, so they continued to comfort her.
After being comforted by her parents, Megumin gradually felt relieved.
Indeed, it was not like she couldn't come back, and she could visit occasionally when she was free.
Moreover, it really wasn't her turn to worry about home. With her parents taking care of things, they were much more reliable than her, who couldn't even find a job.
After thinking about it, Megumin nodded seriously: "I understand, then I will go there tomorrow."
"That's it." Seeing that Megumin had decided, Hyoizaburo and Yuiyui also smiled happily.
...
Let's talk about the Dimension City.
After Takumi sent Megumin away, he also received a system reward.
It was Megumin's explosion magic.
Takumi was not very satisfied with this reward.
After all, with his magic system, any one of the seventh or eighth level magics would be more powerful than this.
It is not very practical and can only be used as a reference.
Because it is a new magic system, for Takumi, its reference value is far greater than its practical value.
But what really concerned Takumi was how Megumin would be arranged if she truly joined Dimension City.
To put it bluntly, Megumin is somewhat specialized.
In other words, there is currently no job perfectly suitable for her in the Dimension City.
I didn't think carefully when I agreed before, but now that I think about it, there is actually a problem with Megumin joining.
It's not a question of ability, but a question of character.
In terms of ability, although Megumin only knows one explosion magic, Takumi can also teach her a set of basic magic so that she can form a workforce.
But the crux of the matter is not what she can do, but what she wants to do.
For instance, she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't use explosion magic every single day.
There is no place in the Dimension City for Megumin to cast such powerful magic.
Even though the entire Forest of Death is the territory of the Dimension City, if Megumin destroys it before construction starts, wouldn't that just increase the workload?
Moreover, with one burst of magic every day, such a loud noise would be very disturbing to the people.
"Explosion magic can allow her to vent in the Apocalypse World. Anyway, except for the Rabbit's Land, there is no one else there, so there is no problem with her exploding things."
"But after the explosion..."
The explosion magic can only be used once a day, and she loses her strength after use.
After the explosion, Megumin feels relieved, but she cannot continue working.
"Therefore, it is best to give her a combat-oriented job and let the explosion magic play a significant role."
However, there are not many situations where explosion magic is the efficient choice.
It's not a question of whether it can be used, but a question of efficiency.
After all, you can't let Megumin blow up some small fry, right? That would be like using a cannon to swat mosquitoes!
Since she's going to bomb things anyway, it's better to blow up high-value targets!
"You can let her go to Orario specifically to hunt Goliath, but Goliath only refreshes once a week...."
"Forget it, if she kills Goliath once a week, that utilization rate is enough. For the rest of the time, she can just go to the Apocalypse World to play and explode."
Isn't that enough? The magic stone dropped by Goliath is worth tens of millions of mana.
Even getting one every month would be a huge profit.
And it just so happens that the Dimension City will need these large-scale magic stones in the future for magic technology research.
Although others could do it, if Megumin can do it, then let her do it.
Anyway, it would be the same for anyone, so it would be better to let Megumin, who had a relatively difficult time finding a job, take the position.
After thinking through this, Takumi stopped worrying and returned to the daily busyness of the Dimension City. The winter preparation project was proceeding in an orderly manner, and progress was very smooth.
The greenhouse has been built, and temperature control equipment is being installed.
At the same time, the two warehouses and the brewery have also been completed.
The new grain was put into use immediately after completion.
Since more than ten days have passed since the last harvest, a new batch of grain has matured.
The winery has also been put into use.
The grapes mainly grown in Sumeru actually matured long ago and were left unprocessed after harvesting.
After the winery was completed, Takumi took charge of it himself and started making wine with a few girls who were learning winemaking. The power storage facilities of the distribution station were also installed, and the dam power station was at full capacity, rushing to charge the electrical facilities.
There is also good news: the farms have made very gratifying progress.
Chickens, ducks, and geese have begun to lay eggs, and the egg supply of Dimension City has become self-sufficient.
At the same time, the meat supply has gradually begun to be self-sufficient.
However, the previous monster attack almost depleted the meat reserves, so for the time being, they did not choose to eat the self-raised poultry.
Moreover, the girl responsible for raising cattle and sheep also succeeded in breeding; several cows and ewes have become pregnant, marking staged progress.
As long as the cows and sheep give birth successfully in a few months, the breeding industry and the livestock seedlings can be solved independently.
By then, cow and goat milk will also be produced.
After learning the good news, Takumi publicly praised the girls in charge of breeding and asked them to continue working hard to take care of those pregnant animals.
Perhaps inspired by the good news or stimulated by the public praise, the work enthusiasm of other girls has once again improved, slightly increasing construction efficiency.
Then, the work of the elf girls was finalized.
Except for the ten city guards, the rest of the elf girls, headed by Ryuu, became Takumi's personal bodyguards.
Well, although there were no battles for them to participate in, the personal bodyguards were still established.
After all, their situation is special.
They are all Takumi's women, and they have different identities from the other girls.
In addition to their outstanding strength, allowing them to work with ordinary girls would be overkill.
In this case, it is better to specifically distinguish the elf girls from the others.
They are called personal guards, but they usually run errands for Takumi and take care of his daily life, acting as secretaries and assistants. At the same time, they convey instructions for Riveria and help manage the ordinary girls.
It can be regarded as a beta version of a security team or military police.
Although the elf girls occasionally participate in construction and production, it is not frequent.
They mainly provide guidance and arrangements for ordinary girls during the initial execution of new projects.
The purpose of participating is to better understand the work situation so they can report accurately to Takumi and Riveria.
Ordinary girls don't have any complaints about this.
After all, who could argue with such an identity right from the start? They are all so beautiful and powerful that they cannot be envied.
Besides, it has become a consensus that people with that level of status have privileges in the Dimension City.
Needless to say, Hestia is the royal empress!
Apart from Takumi, she has the most power in the Dimension City and needs no explanation.
Riveria is the CEO of Dimension City and the Minister of the Interior!
She handles almost everything, big and small.
Hephaestus is the general person in charge of forging production! She is also the director of the Weapons Research and Development Department and the Military Logistics Department!
The weapons and equipment of Dimension City all come from her hands.
She also rushed to make the equipment used in the previous two waves of military operations.
Kanae is the leader of the Dimension City's affiliated organization and the Orario Familia!
She has now taken over the baton from Takumi and is fully responsible for affairs related to the Dimension City in the Earth World. She can be regarded as a foreign minister.
Shizuka Marikawa is the head of the treatment department!
She is responsible for treating all ailments and injuries in the Dimension City.
Busujima Saeko and Minami Rika are the military training chief and deputy instructors, respectively!
It was these two who trained the girls in combat skills and military literacy during the previous monster clearing and rescue operations.
Although except for the first four, the remaining three are basically single commanders because the scale of the Dimension City is still small, they have been assigned corresponding powers.
With these precedents, it is not surprising that elf girls received special privileges.
It would be a surprise if they didn't.
The only reaction was that things became more urgent for others.
Those who felt this most were the leaders of the first three groups.
Especially the production team leader and logistics team leader.
Although power was being delegated from Takumi, it also consolidated power away from them.
For example, the arrival of Riveria as Minister of the Interior directly caused a wave of AOE, taking back part of the power of the three groups.
There is also Hephaestus, who is involved in forging and logistics; the power of the production and logistics teams has been reduced again.
After suffering two consecutive shifts in authority, the two team leaders felt the urgency.
They are afraid that if this continues, their power will be taken back sooner or later.
Even if it's not taken back, they might be asked to vacate their positions for someone else.
This made them desperate.
After all, they don't know when the next person in charge will arrive and how it will affect them.
But what can be done?
Of course, you also need to obtain that level of identity!
As long as they have that layer of identity protection, they no longer need to worry about being decentralized.
Even if power is moved, their benefits will not be reduced.
However, they are not the only ones who have this idea of ascending.
Everyone can see that obtaining that status is the best way to rise.
In addition, the contract has been signed, so there is no psychological resistance to this.
So, the two team leaders still have many opponents.
The number of people is probably equal to the number of girls in the entire Dimension City...
In addition, opportunities rarely arise. As more people surround Takumi, the defense becomes greater.
For example, right now, Takumi is followed by one or two elf girls all day long...
Unless Takumi takes the initiative, their chances are slim.
But they will not give up. People have to have dreams. What if they come true?
So the girls began to watch Takumi every day.
Takumi naturally noticed this but had no intention of paying attention to it for the time being.
The main thing is that these girls are still too weak at the moment; they might not be able to withstand even one punch if they practiced boxing with him.
Giving them a chance now would only make him uncomfortable.
So he still has to wait, at least until they have the strength to compete with him.
Then, Megumin arrived.
The day after she returned, she came back after saying goodbye to her family and gave her reply.
"I am willing to sign the contract, and please allow me to join the Dimension City."
Megumin did not act out her chuunibyou antics this time; instead, with a serious face, she sent an application to Takumi to join.
"Okay, I agree. You are welcome to join the big family of Dimension City."
Takumi happily agreed.
Afterwards, Takumi signed a contract with Megumin and gave her a favor and a basic magic package.
When teaching the basic magic package, as expected, Megumin showed resistance.
In her words, this was a betrayal of explosion magic!
"If you refuse, there will be much less work that can be given to you in the future."
Takumi's casual words hit Megumin's weakness.
"Okay, I'll accept it..." Megumin accepted the teaching of basic magic with a sad look on her face.
Afterwards, she muttered to herself with a guilty look: "I'm sorry, I was forced to do so. Please forgive me, Goddess of Explosion."
Takumi was speechless. He ignored her antics and began to explain her work arrangements.
"In view of your situation, Dimension City has decided to arrange for you to go to Orario to be responsible for obtaining large magic stones."
"That means going to the dungeon regularly and using your explosion magic to blow up a BOSS. This should be pretty simple for you."
"You go find Kanae later. She is the leader of the clan in Orario. Tell her about this and she will arrange the rest."
"Oh! Sending me to other worlds? And dungeons? Where I can use explosion magic!"
When Megumin heard this, she immediately put aside her regrets and looked forward to the job excitedly.
