"And your portrayal of the Game Master isn't right either." Subsequently, Takeru looked at Yusuke.
"Well..." Hearing Takeru's words, Yusuke scratched his head. Before he could say anything else, Takeru used the Transformation Technique to change his appearance into someone else.
"Game Master!" Looking at the familiar figure missing half his head, Yuka and the others exclaimed. Glenda quickly zoomed in on Yusuke for close-up filming...
After these preparations, the video finally entered production. Looking at everything so familiar, if not for Glenda still holding the camera, Iu and the others might have wondered if they had entered the other world again.
Then, with basic authenticity, everyone quickly filmed. When killing the monsters, Iu showed no mercy, leaving deep gashes on the goblin and woodland spirit, complete with gushing blood.
…
About half an hour later, the short video successfully wrapped up. Afterwards, everyone reviewed it. It barely needed any editing before being uploaded online.
While not one hundred percent, it achieved about eighty-five percent authenticity.
Afterwards, under Yusuke's lead, everyone went to a small town restaurant.
"Sorry, Takeru-sensei, this is a poor hospitality." With limited funds, Yusuke naturally couldn't treat Takeru to high-end cuisine, only these street stall-like foods.
"Don't worry about it. Eating this kind of food occasionally is quite nice." Hearing his words, Takeru waved his hand.
Mio also said nothing. Before becoming a Reincarnator, her family wasn't wealthy. She didn't look down on such food.
After lunch, everyone returned to Yusuke's grandfather's house. There, Iu and the others excitedly told Takeru about their gains, and Iu wanted to continue learning magic from Takeru.
Since both had previously changed class to Mage (Wind), Takeru uniformly taught them Wind Blade and how to use wind magic to enhance themselves.
When properly used, wind magic could provide self-enhancement, greatly improving speed and agility.
Hearing Takeru's instruction, the two studied diligently. Meanwhile, Kusue and Yusuke took advantage of Takeru's presence to practice swordsmanship.
"Um, can you teach me too?" After uploading the video, Glenda, seeing everyone training, made a request to Takeru.
"Since you're the sixth player, that's not impossible." Hearing her words, Takeru said calmly.
"Wonderful, Master!" Hearing Takeru's words, Glenda quickly knelt before him.
"Magic or swordsmanship, which do you want to learn?" Hearing her words, Takeru said with a light smile.
"Swordsmanship!" Hearing Takeru's words, Glenda quickly replied.
"Is that so? I understand. Then let's start with sword familiarization." Saying this, Takeru formed a longsword and handed it to her.
Glenda curiously picked up the sword and swung it. Due to extensive travel, Glenda's basic strength was comparable to an average adult male.
"Well, like Yusuke and the others, start with one thousand swings, then proceed to basic sword techniques." Looking at the curious Glenda, Takeru quickly assigned tasks.
After briefly instructing them, Takeru took Mio for a stroll nearby.
Thus, about a week passed in the real world before Takeru and the others were summoned again.
Although Takeru and the others had spent seven days in the real world, Yusuke and the others had experienced fourteen days. According to Yusuke and the others, Takeru and the others had been unreachable since the next day.
Additionally, the uploaded video had gone viral, though most inquiries were about whether it was a movie promotion.
Some watched for entertainment. Others claimed to be players themselves, though this remained unverified. Of course, these matters had little to do with Takeru and the others, so Takeru naturally didn't concern himself with them.
"The sixth player, Glenda Carter's job is Warrior (Axe)!" After the job roulette spun, the Game Master quickly announced Glenda's job.
Curiously examining her new equipment, Glenda seemed quite satisfied.
"Now, announcing the sixth mission. Mission A: Reduce the number of Rainbow Star Addiction within the Goldia Kingdom to below three percent. Time limit: 90 days."
"Mission B: Prevent the annihilation of Zagros Village. Time limit: 30 days. Please select your preferred mission." With Glenda's class change complete, the Game Master quickly announced the sixth mission. Unlike before, this time there was a choice between two.
Hearing the Game Master's words, everyone looked toward Takeru.
"I choose B." Seeing everyone looking to him to decide, Takeru unhesitatingly chose the second mission. Simply put, the second mission took less time and seemed simpler than Mission A.
It appeared to require only combat. And preventing annihilation meant only one person needed to survive. The tolerance for error was very high.
"Understood. Goodbye!" Hearing Takeru's words, the Game Master quickly vanished, and the surroundings returned to normal.
"Alright, now let's start gathering information." After the Game Master disappeared, Takeru looked at everyone.
"Um, Master, I suggest we ask Kahabell-san in Cortonel." At this moment, Yusuke raised his hand and spoke softly.
He also had a selfish motive. Kahabell had helped him greatly and admired him. He wanted to visit her, though he wasn't sure how much time had passed.
"Yes. Let's depart." Hearing his words, Takeru directly took everyone and vanished, appearing outside the city of Cortonel.
"I wonder how many years have passed since then." Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar town, Kusue said with emotion.
"The city has completely changed." Yuka also said with emotion.
"Hey, where was Kahabell-san's house again?" Looking around, Iu couldn't remember at all. The changes were simply too great.
"It's over there." Through his perception, Takeru sensed Kahabell's daughter, who had completely inherited her mother's appearance.
"Kahabell-san!" Soon, arriving at her home, Yusuke called out to the back of Kahabell's daughter.
Hearing the voice, the girl watering flowers turned around and immediately recognized Takeru and the others.
…
In a cemetery, Takeru and the others saw Kahabell's tombstone. Clearly, in the end, Kahabell had not used the recovery potion Takeru had left her last time.
"Mother received much care from all of you in her lifetime. All of you haven't changed at all." The girl said with emotion, looking at Takeru and the others.
She then told them the general details. Hearing about Kahabell's final moments, Yusuke felt complicated emotions.
Subsequently, Takeru and the others asked the girl about Zagros Village. The girl shared what information she knew.
"Although I can't take you directly to the village, these three gentlemen are willing to carry you partway." That evening, the girl helped Takeru and the others find merchants willing to travel near Zagros Village.
"Thank you for arranging this." Sitting in the carriage, Iu said with emotion to the girl.
"This journey with the Heroes was my mother's greatest pride. Since I was little, like a bedtime story, I heard mother tell it countless times. If I can do something for the Heroes, mother would surely be happy." Hearing Iu's words, the girl said seriously.
Hearing the girl's account, Yusuke was stunned. Clearly, Kahabell treasured her journey with everyone far more than he had imagined.
"She was still such a little girl back then." Looking at the now graceful young woman, Keita said with emotion.
"Seventeen years have passed. Naturally, she grew up." Hearing Keita's words, Yuka felt somewhat bitter.
"Somehow, I feel like I've suddenly aged." Keita sighed again.
"In other words, each time a mission passes, a considerable amount of time passes in this world?" Hearing everyone's accounts, Glenda directly stated.
"Yes. That's the one thing I really can't get used to," Kusue said somewhat melancholically.
Hearing everyone's sentiments, Takeru remained calm. Having undergone baptism in the Reincarnation Space and frequently traveling to other worlds, there were many worlds Takeru never revisited.
Compared to them, Takeru was fortunate that he could bring those important to him back to his own world to live together.
