Sagiri's decision to immigrate was actually quite simple.
She came clean to her mom.
Told her everything—her awakened superpowers, and the strange occurrences that had happened recently.
Her mom, being an anime fan herself, was utterly shocked.
But once she heard that immigration was an option, her eyes sparkled.
So really, it wasn't Sagiri who wanted to immigrate—it was her mom who did.
Sagiri didn't have many friends or relatives to worry about.
Whether she holed up here or in another world didn't make much difference.
Maybe living in Takumi's world would actually be better.
So when the group brought it up, she naturally chimed in.
Takumi: [Your mom's got great taste!]
He was thoroughly impressed.
Sagiri: [!!!] [Please don't say it in such a weird way!!]
Something about it just sounded wrong.
She didn't want "Onii-chan Takumi" turning into "Papa Takumi."
Chika Fujiwara: [Sagiri-chan, just give your points to Takumi. He'll come get you and your mom.]
After understanding the situation, Chika had no objections.
If Sagiri wanted to immigrate, it was totally feasible.
Megumi Kato: [If you're moving, might as well bring the whole house too!]
Even Megumi joined in.
Since Sagiri was immigrating, why not relocate the entire residence?
For Takumi, that was hardly a challenge.
It was just shifting the house's coordinates—a new neighborhood, that's all.
Chika Fujiwara: [Brilliant~! Yes yes yes, let's do it that way.]
Chika fully supported the plan.
Sagiri was starting to feel tempted herself.
She only had enough points for a one-way trip. She couldn't bring anyone else.
So Takumi would have to be the one to make the journey.
Takumi: [That's fine. I'll swing by and collect a few extra citizens while I'm at it.]
No problem at all.
If Sagiri handed over her points, Takumi could use them to make the trip.
And he'd pick up some young scientists while he was there.
Family included.
As Takumi thought of that, he raised a question in the group.
Takumi: [Should I "package" Yamada Elf too?]
Sagiri gave it a moment's thought and declined.
That wasn't necessary.
She didn't know Yamada Elf that well.
Plus, her mom was already coming along.
Sagiri: [No need. I don't know her.] [Just me and my mom.]
Then she sent over a red packet with her points.
Takumi didn't hesitate.
He accepted it immediately and bought a world-hopping talisman.
The next moment, a spatial portal opened.
Takumi stepped through and appeared in a quiet alley.
Arriving in this new world, Takumi raised his eyebrows.
It felt so... weak.
The space here wasn't nearly as solid as his own world's.
Then again, it was a slice-of-life universe.
That explained it.
Each world had its own rules.
He didn't dwell on it.
He connected to the local internet and quickly figured out where he was—right next to Sagiri's house.
With his location confirmed, Takumi got to work.
He began infiltrating the internet, scanning for brilliant minds.
Then he sent out a message:
[Do you want to understand the meaning of life?] [yes/no]
The message appeared on their screens no matter what they were doing.
Even if they were scrolling their phones in the bathroom.
Some assumed it was a scam text.
But others, curious, tapped [yes].
They immediately received an invitation.
An invitation to bring themselves and their families to another world.
Many were stunned.
An alternate world?
Seriously?
But quite a few of them had chuuni hearts.
They accepted on the spot.
A chance to bring family, get a house, get supplies?
Too good to pass up.
As for those who rejected it?
Their memories were wiped.
They blinked, confused, and returned to whatever they were doing.
They had no idea what had just happened.
For Takumi, taking over this world was child's play.
Agree, and you're taken.
Refuse, and you're forgotten.
He didn't give much time to decide.
Just grab as many as he could.
He targeted young, talented individuals already scouted by universities or governments.
Still in school.
Picking them out was easy.
He also scanned for hidden geniuses among the civilian population.
From around the world, he filtered through a significant number.
All passed basic character checks.
Investigating backgrounds was trivial for Takumi.
And he did all of this in mere moments.
His digital and computational power was a dimensional leap above this world.
...
Takumi: [@Sagiri, tell your mom to open the door. I'm here.]
He stood in front of Sagiri's home, texting her in the group chat.
Everyone had gone back to discussing Asuna's situation.
Sagiri's earlier message had interrupted them.
Now the focus had returned to Asuna.
She still hadn't decided.
Should she ask Takumi to come save her?
But if he came, he'd definitely recruit people from her world.
Was she really okay with that?
She remained torn.
Takumi glanced at the chat.
Takumi: [@Yuuki Asuna, we'll talk about this later. Let me bring Sagiri and her mom over first.]
Right as he sent that, the front door opened.
A woman in comfy loungewear, sporting a rather dangerous hairstyle, peeked out.
Upon seeing Takumi, her eyes lit up.
"So you're the Takumi Onii-chan that Sagiri always talks about?"
"Come on in!"
Seeing the white-haired, handsome young man, Sagiri's mom was visibly thrilled.
"Hello, ma'am. I'm here to bring you over."
Takumi's eyes lit up too.
Sagiri's mom was like a grown-up version of Sagiri.
Not that Takumi had any ulterior motives.
He just genuinely thought she was great.
"Sagiri already explained everything."
"When do we leave?"
Inside, Mrs. Izumi looked at Takumi with excitement.
She could hardly wait.
At that moment, footsteps echoed from upstairs.
Sagiri came running down.
When she saw Takumi standing there, her face brightened instantly.
