Takumi turned around and saw a girl with a Takeuchi-style face wearing a white dress, with metallic red eyes. Beside her was a girl who looked like a version of Sakura Matou, or rather, a purple-haired girl who bore a striking resemblance to Sakura Matou.
These two were the last of the five individuals Takumi had agreed with Gaia and Alaya to take in this time: Arcueid and BB.
They followed the two lolis, Gaia and Alaya, looking at everything around them curiously before finally locking their eyes on Takumi. It was only natural, as among the four people present at the dining table, Takumi was the most eye-catching.
The reason for this was not only Takumi's outstanding appearance and temperament but also the way he was being held by Tiamat, and the fact that the other two also seemed to focus their attention on him. All of this made the two newcomers curious about Takumi.
"Boss, sorry to keep you waiting so long. We brought them to you."
"En."
Takumi nodded, ignoring Alaya who approached him with a stern expression. Instead, he said to the two people behind him:
"I believe that since you are willing to come, you have already learned from Gaia and Alaya where you are going next. I won't go into details about anything else. Now, as the City Lord of Dimension City, I extend an invitation to you. Are you willing to join Dimension City? Will you leave this world with me?"
"Let me explain in advance: once you join Dimension City, it is not that easy to quit. Moreover, Dimension City has just started, so there may be gaps between reality and what you imagine. You should consider it carefully before giving me an answer. Don't regret it later and blame me for not reminding you."
After saying that, he turned to Shiki Ryougi, Manaka Sajyou, and Tiamat and said: "The same goes for you, think about it first."
Although Takumi didn't know how Gaia and Alaya might have deceived them, he didn't want to trick them into joining Dimension City, lest they feel resentful when they wake up to reality in the future. It is best to eliminate factors that are not conducive to internal harmony in advance.
However, what Takumi did not expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, the two on the side who had remained silent immediately answered:
"I have nothing to think about, as long as I can leave this world."
"That's right, me too."
Manaka Sajyou also nodded in agreement. They are all people who are connected to the Root. They have long been tired of staying in the Moon World. Staying in the Moon World would only make them feel bored. One is so bored that she shuts herself off and chooses to sleep. The other is so bored that she goes crazy and wants to destroy the world.
Therefore, they have no lingering attachments to the Moon World. On the contrary, they are looking forward to going to another world. Because only by leaving this world, losing the almost omniscient and omnipotent abilities blessed by the Root, and going to a new world full of unknowns can they be freed from boredom. As for whether the conditions are good or not, they don't care at all.
"Aaaaaah~ (Go to the new home and be with the child.)"
Tiamat also expressed her choice. As a Beast who loves humans but is rejected by them, she longs to return. Although Tiamat was a little reluctant to leave the Moon World, she was still very happy to have a new home that was willing to accept her.
In addition, Gaia and Alaya also promised that Dimension City has the strength to suppress her, so there is basically no need to worry about her causing trouble. In this way, Dimension City will not reject her or drive her away like the humans in the Moon World. Having said that, how could Tiamat not want to go?
At the same time, she doesn't care about the environmental conditions, as long as she stays in Dimension City and stays with the children. It can be said that the three people who expressed their opinions were all very determined and had already made up their minds to join Dimension City.
Suddenly, the pressure fell on the remaining Arcueid and BB.
"Ah, this..."
Arcueid was still a little confused and couldn't keep up with Takumi and the others. Moreover, she had just arrived and didn't even understand the situation. Her desire to join Dimension City was actually not strong. Although she had just woken up not long ago, she had not been attached to the Moon World for a long time, and she was getting annoyed by people from all walks of life, so she wanted to find a place to take refuge.
But if it meant that after joining Dimension City, it would be impossible to leave or return in the future, Arcueid couldn't help but hesitate and waver. After all, her troubles were not impossible for her to solve; she just didn't want to be too harsh. Moreover, she still had an obsession that she had not yet completed, so how could she just walk away?
Unless...
"I still have a mission. Before I eliminate Roa, I will not completely leave this world, unless you can help me eliminate Roa. If so, then it is not impossible for me to listen to you in the future."
Arcueid looked directly at Takumi and stated her request. She would not leave before Roa was completely eliminated. Before this, other things must take a back seat.
In short, Roa must die!
Takumi was not surprised by this. Although he did not understand the plot of Tsukihime too deeply in his previous life, he still knew a little about the fact that Arcueid had a mortal enemy named Roa.
Roa, the Serpent of Akasha. Eight hundred years ago, during a negotiation meeting between the Church and the True Ancestors, Arcueid was tricked into going berserk, causing her to kill everyone present. Roa took the opportunity to use Arcueid's power to complete the method of reincarnation, becoming a being that is harder to kill than a True Ancestor and can reincarnate infinitely.
After that, Arcueid vowed to take revenge on Roa, and since then has been constantly chasing him, hoping to completely eliminate him. However, by the time the plot of Tsukihime begins, Arcueid has already killed Roa seventeen times, and all seventeen times failed without exception. Every time Arcueid fell asleep, Roa would reincarnate.
After so many failed pursuits, Arcueid was also a little overwhelmed, and the purpose of chasing Roa gradually changed from revenge at the beginning to an obsession. As long as Roa does not die, Arcueid will continue to pursue him.
This is the general situation Takumi learned. At the same time, Takumi also knew that in the most recent chase in the plot of Tsukihime, Roa was finally completely eliminated. And the key factor was that the male protagonist in Tsukihime had the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, similar to Shiki Ryougi.
