Checking the time, Takeru saw that over ten minutes had passed. The three Pokémon had cost him 28,000 mana...
Although Haunter was the evolved form of Gastly, the Pokémon Takeru manifested weren't divided by such evolutionary stages. Their strength was based on the materials used during manifestation and the mana consumed. Both Pokémon consumed about 9,000 mana each.
The intensity of the spirit bodies used was also similar, so the strength of the two Pokémon was roughly equal.
Misdreavus cost 10,000 mana, and its spirit body was slightly stronger than Gastly and Haunter's, making it a bit more powerful than the other two.
After dealing with matters here, Takeru directly returned to the police car...
"Um, Nara-san, is it already done?" Seeing Takeru approach, the officer asked hesitantly.
"Yes, six ghostly entities have been eliminated." Hearing his question, Takeru directly said.
"I understand. Shall I take you to the next mission location now?" Hearing Takeru say this, the officer sighed in relief and then continued to inquire.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Hearing him, Takeru directly nodded.
Then, the next mission location was also not far from here. Takeru resolved the issue in less than ten minutes, then bid farewell to the officer and directly used Shambhala to return to the villa.
By now, it was already past five o'clock. When Takeru returned, Rem and the others had just finished preparing dinner.
"Oh? Onii-chan, where did you go?" Seeing Takeru return, Miu came over holding Vulpix and asked, puzzled.
"I went to take care of some small matters." Hearing her question, Takeru said calmly.
Today's harvest was extremely bountiful. With these large quantities of materials, he could manifest quite a few Pokémon. Takeru really liked Pokémon… cute yet combat-capable. Having some Pokémon around would prevent boredom on ordinary days.
"Huh? Is that so? So mysterious." Hearing Takeru, Miu directly said.
"Hm, Takeru-nii, something seems to be hiding in your shadow." At this moment, Ui came to Takeru's side, raised an eyebrow, and said.
"You noticed. Come out, Gastly, Haunter, and Misdreavus." Hearing Ui's words, Takeru directly let the three Pokémon emerge.
"Th-this... what is this?" Rikka, who had been curious, froze. Hana began trembling all over… she was most afraid of things like this. Ai also felt somewhat scared.
"Eh? So cute!" Hinata and Yui, however, directly exclaimed.
Emilia, Ram, and the others didn't really have a concept of ghosts. Or rather, Ram and Rem were Oni themselves, so they felt no fear towards these things at all, only curiosity.
"Onii-chan, you went to get these three things today?" Although Gastly and Haunter's appearances were somewhat frightening, having experienced many things and being by Takeru's side, and knowing these were Takeru's creations, Miu felt no fear. There was also no reason to be afraid.
"Of course not just these things. You'll know later." Lightly shaking his head, Takeru didn't elaborate.
Then, Takeru directly went to the dinner table and began enjoying the meal with everyone.
Watching everyone happily eating the dishes, the corners of Takeru's mouth slightly lifted. This kind of scene felt very good to him as well.
After enjoying dinner, it was time to send everyone home. To avoid the long journey, Takeru first teleported Yui, Ui, and the others back to the apartment, then took Hinata and the others home. At their parting, Takeru gave each of them two one-liter bottles of MooMoo Milk.
He told them to drink a glass every night before resting, which would make them more energetic and increase the effectiveness of their meditation.
Naturally, they didn't refuse. MooMoo Milk had an excellent taste and was top-tier in flavor, not to mention its body-strengthening functions.
After sending everyone home, Takeru received a call from Hinatsuru Akina. Akina informed him that Ai's school transfer procedures were complete, and she could report to the new school tomorrow.
She called to ask Takeru to take Ai on her first day. It wasn't that Akina was unwilling to come take Ai herself, but Ai had directly expressed she didn't need them to come, as it would be too troublesome.
Takeru directly nodded regarding this small matter, indicating he understood.
After handling these things, Takeru returned to the villa area. After Hinata and the others went home, the atmosphere was slightly calmer than before, but with Emilia, Karin, and the others still living in the villa, it wasn't too quiet.
The first thing upon returning, after greeting everyone, Takeru directly went to the rooftop.
Today, Takeru discovered his Senjutsu Chakra had awakened a new ability… it was the First Hokage's Wood Release.
While fighting the mutated plants, Takeru found he could use Senjutsu Chakra to simply control and influence them. Afterwards, upon testing, he found that using Senjutsu Chakra according to his will allowed him to rapidly grow plants and have them attack or bind enemies.
This discovery surprised Takeru but also delighted him. Although Takeru's strength didn't lack Wood Release Ninjutsu attacks, Wood Release itself could accomplish many things, especially conveniently improving the environment.
Takeru himself wanted to transform this villa to be more natural and harmonious. With Wood Release, achieving this would be much more convenient.
Thinking this, Takeru took out the pit of a Green Spirit Fruit and planted it in the rooftop soil. His Senjutsu Chakra began to surge. Nourished by the Sage Chakra, the pit quickly sprouted and slowly grew.
Miu, Karin, and the others nearby, who had been curious, watched Takeru rapidly catalyze a spiritual vine with curiosity.
Takeru didn't pay much attention. He had the Green Spirit Fruit's vine quickly climb along the pre-prepared trellises, soon covering two racks. The dense leaves also filled the gaps between them.
Furthermore, it rapidly bloomed, then the flowers withered and began to bear fruit.
In total, in less than twenty minutes, a Green Spirit Fruit's pit completed the entire process of growing, blooming, and fruiting.
"Onii-chan, can this be eaten?" Looking at the green, tempting Green Spirit Fruit, Miu asked curiously.
"Of course." Hearing her, Takeru smiled and nodded.
The so-called Green Spirit Fruit was a type of mutated fruit. Its tree was a vine type, with top-tier taste and texture. It was extremely nutritious, refreshing the mind and body when consumed.
Long-term consumption could enhance physical fitness and boost immunity. It was a very precious fruit with extremely stringent growing conditions.
Previously, although Takeru had received some from the country, the quantity was small. Within two or three days, Takeru and Miu had finished them all...
During this trip to the island, Takeru had discovered two Green Spirit Fruit's trees. He had picked the ripe fruits but left the trees in place.
Now, through Senjutsu Chakra, Takeru could easily mass-produce them.
"Everyone, try some." Looking at the curious crowd, Takeru lightly laughed, picked ten nearby ripe Green Spirit Fruits, converted a bit of his mana into water to wash them, and then directly handed them to Miu and the others.
Miu, receiving one, couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweet and sour juice quickly flooded her taste buds, and even Miu, who had experienced many delicacies, couldn't help but show an enjoyable expression.
The taste of this spiritual fruit was no less than the giant strawberries Takeru had picked in the Hunter World. Both fruits had their own merits.
However, the Green Spirit Fruit was somewhat similar to a combination of an apple and a peach. Its appearance was like an apple, about apple-sized, but at its center was a pit resembling a peach pit...
Seeing Takeru and Miu directly consuming them, Emilia, Beatrice, and the others quickly bit into theirs. They also showed amazed expressions. Honestly, the delicacies they enjoyed in this world were incomparable to those in their original world. It felt like their previous lives had been lived in vain.
After Takeru tasted the Green Spirit Fruit and found its flavor not much different from the wild ones, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Vul pix~!"
"Pika~ Pika~~!"
Seeing Takeru and the others enjoying the delicious fruit, the Vulpix in Miu's arms and Pikachu on Takeru's shoulder couldn't help but cry out.
