These five people are none other than Komatsu and his master Setsuno, Misaka Mikoto, Lacus Clyne, and Nico Robin, who had just returned from the world of Akame ga Kill.
"Everyone is quite early."
Takumi walked over and greeted them with a smile.
"Madam Setsuno, we meet again. I will be troubling you this time."
"Oh, haha, it does not matter. We happen to be quite curious about other worlds, so we can take this opportunity to have a closer look."
Setsuno waved her hand kindly.
"Could you please help me, Komatsu, Mikoto, and Robin?"
"It is okay, no trouble at all." Komatsu smiled shyly.
Misaka Mikoto shrugged. "Well, I have free time, and besides, I am acting for justice, so naturally I have to help."
Nico Robin just smiled and said nothing.
"So, am I really just here to cause trouble for everyone?..."
Seeing that Takumi did not mention her, Lacus could not help but feel a little disappointed. She always felt she was out of sync with everyone else. Others possessed extraordinary powers, but she did not. This felt so isolating.
"Well..." Takumi paused, then quickly comforted her:
"That is not true. How could you be causing trouble?"
"Although you cannot participate in battle like them, you can still provide support to everyone from the rear."
"Really?" Lacus's eyes lit up as she asked quickly.
"Of course. You do not have to compare yourself to them."
"Your intelligence is unmatched by others."
"You can manage intelligence and coordinate deployments for everyone from behind the scenes."
"Others do not have this ability."
Although Lacus lacked combat strength, her intellect surpassed many. Takumi instantly thought of a role for her: serving as a commander in the rear. Or perhaps a liaison officer. In short, a role that relied on brainpower and quick responsiveness. Only in this way could Lacus's strengths as a Coordinator be maximized.
"If so, then I feel relieved."
Hearing this, Lacus immediately felt better. She was no longer depressed and cheered up, encouraging herself, "I will definitely do my best."
"Well, I believe you can do it."
After comforting Lacus, Takumi looked around at the group.
"Okay, enough talk. They are already ready and waiting for us. Let's go."
The five people nodded.
Then, Takumi led them through the dimensional gate to the Hestia Familia station in Orario.
At this time, the Hestia Familia station was already crowded with people. In addition to the main team, there were also a large number of girls who had volunteered to participate in this trip.
Among them were more than a dozen members of the kitchen team led by Alice Nakiri. The rest included Takumi's personal guard team led by Lia, consisting of more than twenty elf girls. The oni maids led by Rem and Ram were all present as well. There were also more than forty ordinary girls.
Lelouch also brought his sister Nunnally to help. Tia brought the angels—the three sisters Granmaria, Cologne, and Kuder appeared. Esdeath also arrived from the Pirate World with her troops.
Hermione was among them, and beside her were the Artorias.
Well, except for the Lancer Artoria and Saber Alter from the Familia team, all the Artorias were here: Lancer Alter, Saber Lily, the Lion King, Artoria Caster, and Caster.
In addition to these familiar faces, there were also some new ones joining the fun: Tiamat, Ryougi Shiki, Sajyou Manaka, and Arcueid.
It could be said that almost everyone in Dimensional City with a name and fighting ability had come. These people crowded the already small Familia camp, filling the living room completely.
Seeing this scene, Takumi could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Why are you all here?"
"Since you are all here, isn't the defense of Dimensional City empty?"
Everyone capable of fighting had come out—weren't they afraid of problems arising back home?
"It is fine. The Slime group is guarding the house; nothing will happen. Besides, we can return quickly if something does happen."
Hestia smiled and waved her hand, dismissing the concern. With the Slimes—the strongest monsters from the farming world—guarding her home and a powerful barrier in place, there would be no major issues.
"Fine."
Takumi thought about it and agreed, so he stopped worrying. He turned around and introduced Misaka Mikoto and the others following him.
"Let me introduce you. They are..."
Many of these five people did not know so many members, and some did not recognize the newcomers. After a brief introduction, they greeted each other politely.
"Hello everyone, my name is Misaka Mikoto."
"Lacus Clyne, please treat me well."
"My name is Komatsu, pleased to meet you."
"Nico Robin."
"Oh, hehe, my name is Setsuno. You are welcome to call me Granny Setsuno."
"Hello, Granny Setsuno!"
The group of chefs, including Izuku and Artoria, were the most enthusiastic. It was obvious that a large part of the reason they came here was for the celebration banquet and Setsuno's cooking.
Seeing this, Takumi was speechless. Would they do anything for a meal?! But recalling the feast he had in the Gourmet World, he understood instantly. It really was that good!
"Ah, I am so popular. How nice," Setsuno said shyly, holding her face in a girlish manner.
"Okay, the other Familias have been waiting for a long time, and it is almost time for us to take action."
Seeing that everyone was acquainted, Takumi stood up.
"Let me arrange your respective tasks now."
"The people named below will go with me to the Dark Faction's lair to carry out the encirclement and suppression campaign."
"First, the Familia Team and the Heroic Spirits."
The strength of these two groups was above the second echelon of Dimensional City, so there was no hesitation in assigning them to the front line.
"There are others..."
Esdeath, the sisters Arcueid and Altrouge, the three angel sisters including Tia, and the elf girls.
"As for Ryougi Shiki, you can decide voluntarily."
Ryougi Shiki's combat effectiveness met the standard, but out of respect for her wishes, Takumi did not force an assignment.
Seeing this, Ryougi Shiki immediately stated her position:
"Then I will go too. There is nothing fun to do in the back anyway, and there is no rush to play after we are done."
Takumi nodded and looked at Misaka Mikoto and the others.
"What about you? Are you willing to follow arrangements? Or do you have your own ideas?"
