Sagiri came rushing down the stairs.
She ran straight to Takumi and called out,
"Takumi-oniichan!!"
Hearing her call him "oniichan," Takumi smiled.
"Sagiri~!"
"We finally meet face to face."
He reached out and patted her head.
Sagiri giggled, then asked eagerly,
"Takumi-oniichan, when do we start?"
She was clearly looking forward to the moment.
"When? We'll leave in a bit."
"I'll just take your house with us. Foundation and all."
Sagiri nodded without objection.
"Takumi-kun, please have a seat. I'll make you some tea."
With her daughter now downstairs, Mrs. Izumi was even more delighted.
Even if they were leaving soon, hospitality still mattered.
Takumi quickly waved it off.
"No need. I have things to take care of shortly, so I'll be heading off."
"Oh, right. Mrs. Izumi, this potion is for you."
"Go ahead and use it."
With that, Takumi handed her a vial of superpower awakening serum.
Seeing the vial, Mrs. Izumi's eyes sparkled.
"Masaka?"
"Could this be the legendary superpower awakening serum?"
She was ecstatic.
She had long envied Sagiri's power.
Even if it was just "drawing projection," it was amazing for an illustrator.
Now, she had the chance too?
"Exactly!"
"Almost everyone who immigrates to our world gets one."
"Just inject it into your arm."
Takumi explained as he handed it over.
Mrs. Izumi didn't hesitate. She rolled up her sleeve and gave herself the shot.
As the serum entered her system, she felt something awaken within.
Takumi observed her reaction with amusement.
Mrs. Izumi was still so youthful at heart.
"Sorry, Takumi-oniichan."
"My mom's just a little too excited..."
Sagiri looked a bit embarrassed.
Takumi laughed awkwardly.
"Not at all."
"She's just young at heart. Totally normal."
Then,
"Eh? My power's the same as Sagiri's? I can auto-draw too?"
Mrs. Izumi shouted in surprise.
Upon sensing her ability, she realized it matched Sagiri's.
"Superpowers are essentially a genetic extension."
"Children often inherit similar abilities from their parents."
"There's nothing strange about it, since Sagiri is your daughter."
Takumi chuckled.
In truth, Sagiri probably got her power from her mom all along.
Mrs. Izumi finally understood and felt incredibly proud.
Of course her daughter inherited her talents!
This was the power she had always dreamed of.
With her abilities awakened, Takumi stood.
"I'll head out now."
"I'll come back for you two soon."
Sagiri and her mom both nodded.
Takumi then vanished on the spot and began traveling the world.
He collected all the people who had agreed to leave.
Additionally, he decided to bring a group of orphans from war-torn areas.
Even the sick or disabled were welcome—Takumi could heal them.
Suddenly, many people around the world vanished without a trace.
Especially young prodigies, along with their families.
It would become one of this world's great unsolved mysteries.
But no one would ever get an explanation.
Late into the night, Takumi finally gathered everyone.
They were placed in imaginary space.
The total headcount was now in the hundreds of thousands, including many orphans.
Surely, this mass disappearance would stir global commotion soon.
But it had nothing to do with Takumi.
Once everyone was collected, he messaged Miori Shiba in the group chat.
Takumi: [@Miori Shiba, I'm heading back now.] [Have the robots ready.] [I'll bring them back shortly—please arrange everything.]
Shiina, still awake, replied quickly.
Miori Shiba: [Got it! I'll take care of it right away.]
Takumi: [OK!]
[@Sagiri, let your mom know not to worry.] [I'm bringing your house over next.]
He tagged Sagiri.
She had been lurking and now quickly responded.
Sagiri: [Okay!] [Go ahead, Takumi-oniichan!]
Everything was ready on her end.
Takumi closed the chat and opened a portal to return to Sagiri's house.
The street was dim, nearly pitch black in places.
Even countryside areas in his previous world had more lights.
But that was convenient.
With a snap of his fingers, a black space rift opened beneath Sagiri's home.
The entire building was swallowed, foundation and all.
Only an empty lot remained.
Takumi smirked at the sight.
Then, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he conjured a giant Gundam statue on the empty lot.
In full color.
Freedom Gundam, requesting deployment.
As the towering mech stood proudly on the former site of Sagiri's home,
Takumi nodded with satisfaction.
Yes. A man should always pilot a Gundam.
Let this be a little gift to this world—
Another urban legend was born.
