Yes, Takumi was prepared to arrange work for Manaka Sajyou.
Although this was somewhat akin to child labor, Takumi was still prepared to arrange a job for her. There was no other reason than that the situation of Manaka Sajyou was quite special.
Although she was just a loli, her previous connection with the Root had given her a lot of knowledge. Although this knowledge was not as extensive as Shiki Ryougi's, it was significant compared to ordinary people. At the very least, Manaka Sajyou had mastered relevant knowledge from elementary school to university.
Under such circumstances, it would obviously not be appropriate to raise her as a child and arrange for her to study with Sakura and Illya. Let's not even talk about whether she could play with Sakura and the others; it is estimated that she herself would be dissatisfied with such an arrangement.
Like Shiki Ryougi, she joined Dimension City mainly to seek unknown fun. What fun is there in learning things she already knows with other children?
Therefore, out of such considerations, Takumi prepared to arrange a job for Manaka Sajyou. Takumi had not yet decided what the specific errand would be, but it would definitely not be too hard. After all, Manaka Sajyou was still just a child.
"Really? That would be great."
Manaka Sajyou didn't know what Takumi was thinking, but when she heard that she also had the opportunity to experience the feeling of having her strength sealed, her expression instantly changed from gloomy to clear.
"This kind of thing is such a good experience? I really don't know what you are thinking."
Arcueid, standing on the side, saw it and couldn't help being a little speechless.
Takumi heard the words and said with a smile: "Haha, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and you don't have to understand if you don't want to."
"Alright." Arcueid stopped worrying about it.
After everyone got familiar with the current situation, Takumi greeted the guards and took the four girls into the inner city. They arrived at the office of the City Lord's Mansion and found Riveria.
After asking them all to sign a contract and giving them the Divine Path System, there was a slight hiccup. During this period, Shiki Ryougi and Manaka Sajyou wanted to reject the Divine Path System. After all, they were tired of power and wished they could become ordinary people. They didn't want to acquire new powers.
However, despite their objections, Takumi finally made them accept it on the grounds that this was standard equipment and no one could be special.
Then Takumi introduced them:
"This is Riveria, the general manager of Dimension City. She is responsible for all kinds of affairs in Dimension City. From now on, your work here will be arranged by her. Similarly, if you encounter any problems or difficulties, you can also come to her for help, or you can come to me directly."
"Hello, Miss Manager."
"Hello, I just take care of everything. Just call me Riveria. We are all on the same side, so there is no need to be so polite," Riveria responded with a smile.
Then, Riveria took over Takumi's work and introduced the situation of Dimension City to the four girls, as well as their next arrangements. In terms of placement, there was no need to elaborate; unless they had other connections, all newcomers would start in low-rent housing. Therefore, the four of them were arranged to go to low-rent housing.
As for work...
After discussions with them, Takumi and Riveria made the final decision after careful consideration.
Tiamat temporarily acted as a nanny to help take care of Sakura and Illya. Tiamat herself was very satisfied with this arrangement.
As for Manaka Sajyou, she became the Barrier Administrator, directly under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Office, and was considered half a civil servant. The job content was also very simple. She was usually responsible for maintaining the various barriers in Dimension City. She would check and patrol when necessary, and be responsible for adjusting the barrier. It was a casual job.
This job was also professionally suitable for Manaka Sajyou. In addition, the workload was not heavy, and there was a lot of free time. Manaka was also very satisfied.
As for Shiki Ryougi, she would work as a clerk in the office for the time being. She would make changes later depending on future needs and what she wanted to do. Well, after Shiki Ryougi came to Dimension City, she was actually a little confused. For a while, she didn't know what she wanted to do.
As for Takumi, although he knew that Shiki Ryougi's abilities were very strong and comprehensive, there were currently no positions that required her specific skills in Dimension City. So the result of the discussion was to let her sit on the bench and move wherever she was needed in the future.
The most difficult thing to decide was Arcueid. Her arrangement was the trickiest.
Takumi had previously agreed to take her to Dimension City, but he had only considered whether the True Ancestor could integrate into the big family of Dimension City. He had basically not considered what contribution Arcueid could make after arriving.
And, apart from being a True Ancestor, a vampire, and having fighting ability, Arcueid basically had no other specialties.
Takumi was originally planning to let her join the Familia team and go on adventures in various worlds to grow, since she wanted to work for Dimension City. But after hearing the work content of the Familia team, Arcueid refused without hesitation.
"I joined Dimension City mainly because I wanted to live a stable life, but I didn't want to go through such trouble."
These were Arcueid's original words. In this regard, Takumi had no choice but to give up the idea.
Then, he focused on Arcueid's ability: Marble Phantasm!
This is the ability to generate items out of thin air—such a great ability. It would be a pity not to use it for production. Why not go for production! This should be easy for her, right?
However, Arcueid refused again. The reason was not because she was unwilling to use her own abilities for production, but simply because the conditions did not allow it.
"The things that are manifested by Marble Phantasm are actually time-limited. They will dissipate when the time is up and cannot be used to produce lasting goods."
"All right."
Takumi then realized that he was being too whimsical. But actually, if you think about it, if the things manifested by Marble Phantasm were permanent, then wouldn't Arcueid's use of it for so many years have caused the Earth's total mass to increase to a point of destruction?
If this were the case, then Gaia should have taken action against her long ago. Arcueid has not been targeted by Gaia, which means that the manifestation of Marble Phantasm will not have a permanent impact on the Earth, which also implies that the current state is only temporary.
The production route was not feasible, but it also gave Takumi inspiration.
"Well, I'm very interested in your Marble Phantasm. Please help me research it for the time being and use it as a sample for my reference."
Speaking of Marble Phantasm, Takumi thought of his own Creation Magic. The two are actually very similar; maybe they can be used as a reference.
