"Alright, let's go quickly. Once you have better control over your magic power, I'll teach you magic during summer vacation." Seeing her expression, Takeru smiled and said.
"Really? Then it's a deal!" Hearing Takeru say she could learn magic in a few days, Miu cheered up excitedly again.
Afterwards, Takeru washed up and came outside.
"Takeru!" "Master!"
Seeing Takeru emerge, everyone smiled and greeted him.
"Wait a moment, Ku-chan, Takeru isn't here yet!" Suddenly, Miki saw Kumara, the little fox girl, trying to sneak a bite and quickly stopped her.
The moment Takeru arrived, he saw Kumara's aggrieved expression. Finding it amusing, he simply patted her head, and she immediately smiled again.
"Miu, are you done yet? Hurry up, or we won't wait for you." Looking at Miu, Takeru urged her directly.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! That's so mean, Onii-chan. I'm a girl, you know!" After a moment, Miu arrived at the dining table and spoke to Takeru with some complaint.
"Then you'll have to wake up earlier from now on." Hearing her words, Takeru said calmly.
"What do you mean? It's not like I was sleeping in. I just meditated too late last night!" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu said discontentedly.
"Alright, let's eat." Hearing her words, Takeru smiled and shook his head.
Then, with Takeru's cue, everyone began to enjoy the sumptuous feast laid out on the table. Although it was an ordinary breakfast, because of the number of people and the fact that Takeru's household was not short of excellent cooks, every meal was very lavish.
Especially after Ram, Rem, and the others all obtained their item boxes, there was no need to worry about wasting food if too much was prepared.
The excess could be directly stored in the item box, which existed outside the flow of time. If more was needed, it could be taken out to add to the meal.
After finishing the delicious breakfast, Takeru first went to the courtyard to check on the Star Soul Fruit Tree. He sensed nothing unusual, or rather, some of its accumulated energy had been consumed, and it had grown a little more. It seemed another catalyzing harvest was just around the corner.
"We're off to school!" Subsequently, Takeru, Miu, and Ai said their goodbyes to Emilia and the others, then transferred to the apartment. After going downstairs, Ebina was already waiting for them below.
"Good morning, Ebina." Looking at Ebina, Takeru felt a mix of emotions. Although it had only been one night in the main world, Takeru had spent two months in the Slime World.
Now that Takeru had become a Demon Lord and his race had transformed into the special Human-Demon race, his lifespan had reached a point where time would struggle to leave its mark on him.
"Good morning, Takeru-kun, and Miu, Ai." Seeing Takeru, Ebina revealed a happy smile.
"Alright, let's head to school. The holidays are coming up soon. Any plans?" Subsequently, Takeru looked at Ebina and directly inquired.
"Well... no, not really." Hearing Takeru's question, Ebina said somewhat apologetically. After all, she didn't have many friends, and no one had invited her to go anywhere.
"Is that so? Our club is planning a training camp during the holidays. Would you like to come along?" Hearing her words, Takeru directly asked.
"Eh? Your club? Um, would that be... okay?" Hearing Takeru's words, Ebina hesitated. Under normal circumstances, Ebina would definitely refuse.
But if Takeru and his club members went to a training camp, she wouldn't be able to see Takeru for a long time. For her, that would definitely be torment.
"That shouldn't be a problem. The gathering place is the island we trained on before. And although due to some special reasons I can't have you join the club, normal social interactions won't be affected at all."
Seeing the nervous Ebina, Takeru said calmly.
"Then I want to come too!" Hearing him say this, Ebina quickly nodded.
"Alright, got it." Looking at the excited Ebina, Takeru smiled and nodded.
While chatting, Takeru and the others arrived at the fork in the road. Subsequently, Takeru bid farewell to Miu and Ai, then continued towards the school with Ebina.
"Mio, Ritsu, good morning!" Soon, arriving at school, Takeru encountered Mio and Ritsu, who had also just arrived.
"Takeru, and Ebina-san, good morning!" Seeing Takeru and Ebina arriving together, Ritsu smiled and greeted Takeru.
"G-Good morning." Meeting the two, with whom she wasn't very familiar, Ebina spoke somewhat nervously.
After exchanging greetings, everyone headed straight for their classroom. Upon arriving in the class, Takeru went directly to his own seat, the protagonist's seat.
No sooner had he sat down than two female students came over to invite Takeru. They wanted to invite him to go to an island during the holidays.
However, Takeru politely declined. One reason was that Takeru wasn't very familiar with them. Another was that Takeru already had plans with everyone during the holidays.
Although they had mentally prepared themselves, the two girls still felt a sense of disappointment upon hearing Takeru's refusal.
It wasn't just Takeru who received invitations from classmates. Mio and Umaru also received quite a few invitations from boys and girls.
They also directly waved their hands in refusal. Soon, with the teacher's arrival, everyone had to give up and return to their seats.
Afterwards, Takeru attended one class, then used a Shadow Clone to substitute for him. His main body disappeared from the spot and reappeared at the Monster Island's location.
After taking a stroll around here, he casually knocked out a mutant rhinoceros that was looking for trouble. He stored its corpse in his storage ring.
Then, after some searching, he directly sliced a small hill in half and used telekinesis to transport it into his personal pocket dimension.
Next, he found a plain and directly cut a thick layer of turf, soil and all, and once again sent it into his personal pocket dimension.
Of course, for the pit left behind, Takeru used Earth Release to fill it back in, then used Wood Release to catalyze a new grassland.
Simply using these Ninjutsu in the main world consumed far less energy than manifesting things out of nothing within the personal pocket dimension.
Repeating this process, after collecting a large expanse of grassland, Takeru directly went to the edge of the island.
Activating his water control ability, a large amount of seawater was soon drawn in and directly entered Takeru's personal pocket dimension through a special spatial channel, quickly filling the huge pit Takeru had prepared in advance.
After filling it with water, Takeru was still not satisfied. He directly jumped into the sea and quickly dove to the seabed. After knocking out a shark that tried to swallow him, Takeru stored it in his item box.
Then, a large number of fish, crabs, squid, sea turtles, and other marine life were also forcibly drawn by Takeru's power and entered the sea within the personal pocket dimension.
Afterwards, Takeru also cut a layer of coral and rocks and placed them on the seabed of the personal pocket dimension.
After doing this for over ten minutes, Takeru flew back out, then disappeared from the spot and arrived in the city. Finding a place to land, Takeru went directly to a flower shop and purchased a large batch of plant seeds.
These included seeds for ordinary grass, flowers, various vegetables, and various types of fruit.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the shop assistant, Takeru paid and left the spot carrying large and small bags of seeds by hand.
The heavy seeds showed no strain on Takeru. Upon reaching a secluded spot, Takeru's figure quickly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was back in the villa.
"Takeru?" The girls, who were cleaning or training at home, saw Takeru's figure and felt somewhat surprised.
"Alright, everyone, I want you all to come with me to a place." Looking at the girls, Takeru directly said.
"Yes!" Hearing Takeru's words, although the girls were puzzled, they still nodded. Then, Takeru opened a passageway to his personal pocket dimension and had everyone enter through it.
"Where is this?" Looking at the somewhat desolate and strange surroundings, the girls were a bit bewildered.
"This is a space I developed using my unique skill. I plan to properly forge this place into a personal, portable living space." Looking at them, Takeru concealed nothing and directly informed them of his thoughts.
"I see. Then let's help you!" Hearing Takeru's words, Emilia quickly understood and directly spoke.
Seeing everyone so quickly grasp his intention, Takeru was very satisfied. He rapidly assigned tasks. Of course, before taking action, Takeru needed to bestow certain skills upon them, such as plant-type magic that could accelerate plant growth, and earth-type magic.
After dividing the work of transforming the space's environment among everyone, Takeru was finally able to relax a bit. However, there were still many things that relied on Takeru himself to complete.
