Well, I'm ready for it, but what do we do now?
　For now, let's just eradicate the Frays and mutants as before, but I don't want everyone to be confused when the world becomes one.
　Well, I guess it's impossible to tell them not to be confused....
　It's not just the surface world, the underworld will be confused as well.
　Well........for now.......




''Do you want me to teach you [Cross-Space Transition]?

　I start talking to Hanakoi's sister, who is mugging her toast for breakfast, and Morobane's sister and the others, who had already finished eating and were drinking their after-dinner tea.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on the same thing. It's the usual story, isn't it?
''Yeah. It would be helpful if we could use [Cross-Space Transition] to travel between the two worlds.

　It's a pain in the ass to transition from Babylon every single time, and the more I can use it, the more action I can take. I used to shy away from it because it would bring me even closer to the god race, but it doesn't matter now that I've reached this point.

''Well, I'm not reluctant to teach you, though. And we are here to support Fuyao-kun.
Well it's just that there's not really much to teach.
'What?　What do you mean?

　I involuntarily raise my eyebrows at Hanakoi sister's reply after finishing my toast.

''【Transition to another space】is after all the same as transference magic, so it's not difficult as long as you can get a feel for it. If you travel around the world with us a few times, I think Fuyao-kun will learn the trick.

　It's not like we're going around the world ... or even this world, is it?　All kinds of worlds, you mean?

Which one do you want me to teach you?
''Morohana-chan has training for the Order, so I'll teach her. I'm the representative of Fuyao-kun's support, right?　Well, I think I could probably learn it in a day.

　Drinking a cup of tea, Hanakoi sister stands up.
　The two of us take off together and move to the courtyard.

''Then, first of all, let the 'divine energy' circulate through your body. And then, spread it thinly over your body and let it soak in a little bit. Be careful not to accidentally release your divine power.　It's only going to run slowly over the surface of your body.

　As you told me, I'm going to let the divine energy circulate in my body and make sure it's only around me. It's not hard to control this much. That's progress, even for me.

''Yeah, it's okay. I'm going to do [Cross Space Transfer] in that state, so I'm keeping my consciousness firmly intact, okay?

　The moment sister Hanakoi said that and grabbed my hand, she squeezed it!　I felt my body being pulled upwards.
　I felt as if I had jumped up like a reverse bungee, and now I was about to be crushed by the sensation as if my weight had been multiplied many times over. Honestly, it's weird.

''Uggh........!
Yeah, yeah.

　The reddish-brown rocks were strewn about, and we were standing in a wilderness with a dull, navy sky.
　It was like something out of a science fiction movie. Dust drifted in the air and there was nothing to see until the end of our vision. It was a world where the red earth just kept on and on.

Is this a different world?
Yeah. I know it's hard to understand, but it's a world that's almost on the same level as yours. Well, there aren't very many humans.

　I heard that a world war once took place here, which poisoned the atmosphere and made it impossible for humans to live on the ground, so they are now living in an underground city.
　In fact, this place where I'm standing now is at a level where ordinary humans would die instantly from rotting lungs. What kind of poison is that?

Well, it's not uncommon for one race to fall from the position of ruler on earth. See?

　Her sister pointed to a small frog-like creature crawling on its six legs among the reddish-brown rocks. There are creatures that can adapt and live in this kind of environment....

''Maybe that race will rule the earth next.

　The dinosaurs became extinct on earth about 66 million years ago. There are many theories as to the reason for this, such as meteorite fall, sea level rise, sea level fall, volcanic eruption, epidemic, pole shift, and even alien attack theory, but such a thing itself is not so unusual, I suppose.
　Our world has been attacked by the flames in real life, too.

"Well, we're moving on to the next one.

　When my sister takes my hand, once again I feel a sensation that seems to multiply the experience of that elevator ascending and descending many times over. Ugh, that's disgusting.....
　After that sensation subsided, what unfolded in front of me was not the wilderness I had seen earlier, but a grassy field with a fresh breeze blowing. Clouds drifted across the sky, and high mountains could be seen in the distance. This is a very different world from the one before.

''This time it's a normal world.
What constitutes normal is different for each of us. By the way, this is a world where there are no animals.
What?

　As sister Hanakoi said, there was not a single bird in the sky or a single insect in the meadow. So it's a completely plant-only world.
　But I think it would be difficult to pollinate or at least have insects. It would be helpful if there were worms in the soil as well....
　When Hanakoi sister tore off a blade of grass that had been growing, a similar leaf was immediately regenerated from it. What is this......... I pulled out a blade of grass as well, but as soon as I did so, another blade of grass grew out of it and returned to its original state. I don't understand.

'Come on, it just keeps going and going...'
"What, already?

　Without being able to listen to the explanation of that world, I was surprised to see my sister shift again, pulling my hand away from her, and she shifted again.
　After that, we went through many different worlds. I'm not sure how many times we went around, but I think I've figured out the trick to the 【internal space transfer】.
　Just like 【Teleport】, we first grasp the starting point, and then capture another world from there.
　It's true that the world is like a spiral staircase, gradually changing in height, with levels going up and down, but once you decide where you stand, you can figure out how many steps up from there to the right or left, and how many steps down to the front or back.
　Moreover, once you're there, you can jump like a [gate], so you won't get lost.

''Then we'll go back to the original world. Even if you make a mistake, I'll pick you up and you can try your best.

　After being told that by Hanakoi sister, I meditate and visualize our world and figure out its position. I think it's probably around here....
　I try to jump with determination. I've gotten used to it, but the place we've arrived at, along with that unpleasant feeling, feels like a normal country road. A series of mountains and meadows. The sky was high and the clouds were flowing.
　A carriage rattled past on the road. I could see a large tree in the distance. Hmm?　This place..........
　I walk to the base of a large tree that stands next to the street. I knew it was here.
　This is the place where I first arrived in this world. This is where it all began.
　So this is near the riffle. As I was touching the tree and feeling deeply moved, my sister came in the same way.

'It would have been a hundred points if I could have transferred to the castle. But, well, the world is right, so I'll give you seventy points.

　It was quite tough. With a wry smile, I asked my sister about something that had been bothering me.

".........By the way, can I go to the world I was from with this [different space transfer]?
The world you're in is a little far away, so it might be difficult for now. But once you get used to it, it's not impossible to get there. I wouldn't recommend it, but...

　Well, okay. If a dead person shows up, we're in all kinds of trouble. You could at least disappear and see what happens. I'd like to go there someday, but it's not the right time.
　Besides, my world is already here.

''Can this [Cross-Space Transition] move with anyone else?''
'It's not impossible. It's just that there are some worlds with poisonous atmospheres in the first place, so it's best not to take them to a world you don't know.

　You're right. There are other worlds where you'd be dead in a heartbeat if you didn't use your divine energy like we did. ...Well... what's Ende doing about it?
　In his case, I wonder if he's checking out the world's wards first, and then transferring from there. I haven't seen him lately, but I wonder if he's okay. I don't think he's going to die so easily.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
'To be precise, they're small worlds attached to each world. They are like satellites in Fuyao's world. If the main body of the world disappears, then the small world will also disappear.

　I see. I see... So the spirits are also accompanying you. Huh?　Wait a minute?

Is there a difference between the spirit world in the surface world and the spirit world in the back world?　So when the worlds come together, they get mixed up?
'If they're far apart, that's part of it, but in this case, they're adjacent worlds, so the spirit world is the same. However, we don't know how the spirits of the world will react when the world is united. It could lead to a rise in sea level, an upheaval of the earth, or abnormal weather.
........no, no, no. I'll say it plainly, sister, that's important!　You're the first to tell me!　Why didn't you tell me?!

　When I poked around there, Hanakoi's sister turned a straight face and stopped her movements with a snap. She blinked a couple of times, stuck out her tongue in a small way and released a wink.


'Hello, ah, world god?　There's a god who doesn't even work 《support》 and just picks up sweets all the time, but I need to reassign him...
'Unyaahhh!　I taught you how to do it!　I'm not slacking off!　I just happened to forget about it!

　As I pretended to call the World God, sister Hanakoi clings to me. Totally........you seriously forgot, didn't you?　It's a dangerous place. If the new world is sinking or something, we'll lose it.

So what do I do?
'Uh ..., convince the spirits not to be too surprised?　I mean, we just need to make them obey. Fuyao-kun is also a member of the God's household.

　I see. I don't remember the sand spirit I met in Sandra saying something like that. He said that the power of a god is absolute for spirits.

''Well, Fuyao-kun isn't an official god yet, so some of them might not follow you easily, but I can still make them follow you.
'How do you get the spirits to follow you...?
There are many ways to do this.

　1) Persuade them.
　You have to talk it out and get them to follow you. It's a peaceful solution. It's love and peace.

　Beat him up.
　You have to make them tell themselves who's better. Force is justice. It's search and destroy.

　...and that's it.
There are only two!　You don't have a lot of stuff to do!　The choices are narrow!

　Talk to me or I'll hit you!　What a solution!

"3) grab the weakness and threaten it.
Uh....
Well, (3) is just a reluctant follower, so I'm not sure if it will work the way you want it to. To put it another way, Fuyao-kun is the new president of the company. There are employees who obey you, and there are employees who lick your lips and turn away from you. If there's time, it's fine to talk to each one of them individually. But if you don't have time....
(2) I mean....

　Search and Destroy?　No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not just a black company, it's a blood company. That's a bad analogy!

''What's the point now. I'm sure Amber and the other divine beasts would have obeyed in a similar way.

　No, well. Hmm, is that the same thing?

''The spirits that obey you will stay the same, and the rebellious spirits will accept you if you show them your ability. Most spirits are simple and honest at heart.

　Are you sure?　Doesn't that make you unlikable?　They won't call it a spirit hunt or anything like that. Is it going to be like those old teenage dramas where they hit each other and understand each other?　It's a lie.

''Well why don't you just go to the spirit world for now and discuss it?''
'Well, yes. Just say, 'I'm going to be managing this world next, it's going to be a lot of work, but please follow me.' Then you'll probably have a girl who says 'please' and a girl who says 'don't be silly, I don't approve! Because they're divided into kids who say, "You know what? Then I'll destroy the rebellious kids.

　I'm not going to kill you for that. Sis, that's all you're saying.
　Well, it seems that spirits don't die, and if we leave them alone, they'll eventually come back to life, so don't go easy on them, right?
　I'd like to be as peaceful as possible.... It's going to be love and peace.
　However, from my experience, things usually go in a direction I don't want them to go....
　........Search and Destroy?
