Bronya had originally made a lot of preparations, but it all went to waste and she was severely mocked by Takatsuki.
Of course, Takatsuki also got his comeuppance, which was a harsh kick to the knee from Bronya.
Along with that, Takatsuki took on the role of a doting parent, meaning he would take Bronya to "school" across the ocean every morning and pick her up in the evening.
Until one day…
"Takatsuki, did we… forget A2?"
Hearing Mei's words, Takatsuki's chopsticks clattered onto the table.
"Who's A2?"
Kiana asked curiously. The people at St. Freya Academy didn't know about YoRHa yet.
"It's… a robot."
Takatsuki said this, then opened King's Treasure, from which a white-haired young woman emerged.
"?" *6
Everyone except Ais looked at Takatsuki with strange expressions.
This is your robot?
Takatsuki knew what their expressions meant without even thinking.
"Ahem, this really is a robot. Wait a moment, I'll activate her."
Activating A2 wasn't difficult. This task was originally supposed to be done by the Pods teamed with the androids, but A2 didn't have a Pod. Takatsuki could still do it using Hatori Nozomu's ability.
A2, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes and leaped up.
Quickly scanning her surroundings, A2 slowly relaxed and greeted Takatsuki and Mei.
"Lord Takatsuki, Lord Mei, have we arrived in your world?"
A2 finally looked in Takatsuki's direction and asked.
"That's right, A2, let me introduce you."
Under the strange gazes of the others, Takatsuki introduced both sides. The others then realized that Takatsuki and Mei had secretly gone to another world behind their backs and brought back an android unit.
"Sorry, A2, I forgot about you earlier. But YoRHa has already been settled in space, I'll send you over now."
Takatsuki said apologetically. After all, leaving her in King's Treasure for so many days, even if she didn't feel anything, it was still quite a terrible thing to do.
"Can I stay?" A2 asked Takatsuki.
"Stay?"
A2 nodded, "I just want to stay by Lord Takatsuki and Lord Mei's side and protect you. I already betrayed YoRHa a long time ago, and my current equipment version is completely different."
"This…"
Takatsuki looked at Mei, as Mei had a better relationship with A2 on the other side.
"Takatsuki, you decide. Don't you already have arrangements for them?"
Mei handed the decision to Takatsuki, but her meaning was clearly conveyed.
"If you want to stay, it's not a problem, but A2, you still need to return to the Bunker and synchronize with it."
Before A2 could say anything, Takatsuki explained, "Only after synchronizing with the Bunker can you be revived through the Bunker if you are damaged. Otherwise, if you are destroyed, it will be the absolute end. Don't worry, if you don't want to change your equipment, they won't force you to."
"If that is Lord Takatsuki's will, I have no objection."
A2 had no objection; after all, she herself was obedient to Takatsuki and Mei's commands.
"That's good. Bronya, I'll send you back first."
Bronya nodded and passed through the portal Takatsuki opened. Due to the small interlude, it was already later than usual.
Meanwhile, as Takatsuki opened the portal to the Bunker, Kiana suddenly grabbed him.
"Is the other side in space? This Miss wants to see it too."
Takatsuki turned around and saw that everyone except Fu Hua and Seele looked somewhat interested.
"Ahem, although this academy head has also been to space, for you to cooperate with Anti-Entropy on the Anti-Entropy's territory, this academy head, as the head of the Far East Branch, must supervise."
To translate, she also wanted to go.
"Alright then, is there anyone else who wants to go? Let's all go together."
"Yay!"
Takatsuki didn't show favoritism and brought everyone to the Bunker's command center.
"Welcome to the Bunker, Master."
The Commander immediately saw Takatsuki, who had arrived behind the others, and greeted him.
"Master?"
The others looked at Takatsuki, who then explained, "It means the leader of YoRHa. Since they kept calling me 'Lord,' and YoRHa is my personal organization, they call me that."
"Commander, please arrange for someone to give them a tour. These are my friends; treat them with the highest regard."
Takatsuki said to the Commander, "Also, I've brought A2 back. Please upload her data and equip her with a Pod. As for her equipment, see if she wants to change it herself. If she doesn't, don't bother."
"I understand. 6O, come here."
"Coming, coming, hello Master."
6O, with golden twin braids, ran over. Due to Takatsuki's request, the contact officers no longer needed to wear veils, and ground units no longer needed to wear blindfolds. However, to maintain their distinctiveness, they still wore blindfolds during missions to identify themselves.
"Hmm, 6O, I remember you were 2B's contact officer, is your work alright?"
"Master, you still remember me! Don't worry, I just contacted 2B. They're doing great in the Far East, and they even bought me a lot of pretty clothes, all thanks to Master! Is there something you need me for, Master?"
Although it was the Commander who called 6O over, she knew that Takatsuki actually had something for her when she saw him. The Commander coughed twice to assert her presence.
"These are the Master's friends. Take them on a tour inside the Bunker and treat them with the highest regard."
"Understood! Leave it to me, Master!"
6O ignored the Commander who was explaining the task and saluted Takatsuki. After understanding the laws and etiquette of this world, many aspects of YoRHa had been changed.
"This little girl, she's so much like Kiana."
Himeko said, looking at the lively 6O.
"Mm, indeed. She seems a bit dim-witted, and her hairstyle is the same too." Theresa nodded.
Kiana immediately became displeased, "Aunt, how can you say that about me?"
6O didn't pay much attention to the others' discussions; she was naturally that kind of person. Shaking her head, she led the others on a tour. A2, meanwhile, went to synchronize and be equipped with a Pod as arranged by the Commander.
"How has the cooperation with Anti-Entropy been recently?"
Takatsuki asked the Commander after the others had left.
"Androids have been stationed around the world as per the Master's previous arrangements. Through the gold the Master left behind, we conducted transactions with Anti-Entropy. Now, the outposts in various regions have been set up, and the beacons are fixed. The Master can travel to them at any time via the beacons."
After mass-producing YoRHa models, the YoRHa stationed them in various locations, not only to monitor Honkai events globally but also to map out the world for Takatsuki's ability. Now, Takatsuki could instantly travel to any part of the world via the storage devices containing his Nen. As for the gold traded with Anti-Entropy, it was actually drawn by Takatsuki using the Brush Brush Fruit. The gold he created didn't disappear when he fell asleep like other Devil Fruit users' creations, nor did it vanish when character cards were canceled; it was all real. Of course, it cost some energy and stamina, but his current energy and stamina were terrifyingly abundant, so he didn't mind the expenditure.
"Have there been any Honkai outbreaks recently?"
"Report: Since deployment, YoRHa has resolved 115 Honkai events globally and eliminated 1602 Honkai Beasts."
Takatsuki nodded. He hadn't realized it when playing games, but in reality, Honkai events were constantly occurring all over the world, just on a smaller scale.
Now that YoRHa was deployed, even these small Honkai events could be resolved.
