Dio was naturally no match for Kurumi.
Facing Kurumi, the time elf, he had no power to fight back.
Not long after, Dio was captured by Kurumi.
After dealing with him, Kurumi sent out all her clones to start collecting items from this world.
After all, items like Stand Arrows were very useful. Takumi would surely like them, right?
With this thought, Kurumi released countless clones.
Kurumi was currently very powerful.
Although she didn't usually mingle with others, she still signed in daily and had been strengthened twice.
Because of this, she didn't need too many clones. She could spread her clones across the world if she wanted.
This was also why Fujiwara Chika and the others wanted Kurumi to come along.
She hadn't wanted to originally, but couldn't resist everyone's requests.
With the help of her clones, Kurumi quickly recovered the six Stand Arrows.
They were still in Enya Geil's possession.
Kurumi found her and easily obtained all of the arrows.
Additionally, she found Stone Masks and other items.
After obtaining everything, Kurumi packaged them and sent them to Takumi in the group.
Tokisaki Kurumi:
[Takumi's exclusive red envelope]
[For you]
[Some things from this world]
After receiving Kurumi's message, Takumi grew interested.
When he accepted it, he was a little surprised.
These...
Were they all collected by Kurumi?
Takumi:
[Have you used them?]
[Don't you want to awaken a Stand?]
Looking at the Stand Arrows, Takumi was curious.
Didn't Kurumi want to awaken a Stand for fun?
After all, some Stands were quite good.
Even if not for combat, they could serve tea and pour water.
Tokisaki Kurumi:
[I'll consider it after we return]
[No rush]
[You take them and study them first]
Kurumi wasn't in a hurry.
Besides, if Takumi brought them back, they would be enhanced later.
Wouldn't it be better to awaken a Stand then?
She knew this well.
Takumi didn't know Kurumi's thoughts, but seeing her response, he didn't press further.
Instead, he brought it up in the group chat.
Takumi:
[If you want to awaken one, just come find me]
With that, Takumi dropped the subject.
He continued chatting with Masuzu Natsukawa.
Their mission was going smoothly.
All the Stand Users had been eliminated.
Moreover, no one dared to cause trouble now.
After all, Prometheus was watching.
At night, Takumi and Masuzu Natsukawa stayed on the spaceship.
Takumi was just a consciousness now, so it didn't matter if he slept.
After settling in with Masuzu, he looked outside at the world.
The two worlds were now merging.
Various laws were intertwining, merging into new ones.
Although Takumi had seen it several times, every time he saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire it.
It was beautiful.
The fusion would last a full day.
It wouldn't be complete until the next day on Earth began.
All countries had detected it, and the world had expanded.
Land masses had increased.
Many scientists went wild observing the scene.
Everyone started researching.
Some even began searching for Stand Arrows.
After all, many wanted to awaken their own Stands.
Many had seen JoJo's story.
So, of course, they were excited upon learning about this world's reality.
Others sought the Stone Masks.
Turning into a vampire? That meant eternal life.
For many rich people, that was a tempting thought.
But they could no longer find these items.
Because everything had already been taken away by Ningguang.
After Masuzu Natsukawa woke up on the spaceship, she learned everything outside had concluded.
Kurumi and the others had returned.
They arrived not long after she woke up.
Seeing that Masuzu and Takumi had spent the night alone on the spaceship, Fujiwara Chika, Kurumi, and others began sniffing around.
Takumi, noticing this behavior, was speechless.
"Good grief!!"
"Are you dogs? Sniffing around as soon as you return!"
Takumi didn't even know how to respond.
Did they really think something happened between him and Masuzu?
Masuzu herself was also confused.
"I thought you made someone pout!" Fujiwara Chika said teasingly.
When Masuzu heard that, she panicked.
"W-what?!"
Can someone so young say something like that?
"Get lost! I'm just a consciousness now."
"Since the world has merged, I'm going to move it now."
With that, Takumi gave Chika a middle finger and vanished on the spot.
Outside the world, Takumi was also speechless.
Fujiwara Chika was getting bolder.
He should find a chance to tease her in return.
Thinking of this, a smirk appeared on Takumi's face.
She always joked like this—time to let her experience the consequences.
Takumi began storing the world.
As for Fujiwara Chika...
After Takumi disappeared, she grumbled:
"Did you hear that? Good thing he's only a consciousness."
"If he were really here, it'd be over."
"After all, a high school JK, a silver-haired ojou-sama, full of buffs—of course I'd like Takumi."
Masuzu Natsukawa was speechless.
"Do you always talk to him like that?"
"He has such a good personality!"
She couldn't help but be amazed.
Wasn't Fujiwara Chika ever punished for talking that way?
Takumi must be very kind.
Fujiwara Chika was stunned for a moment, then shrugged.
"Well, we're pretty close."
They had watched Takumi grow since he joined the group.
So everyone just admired how strong he'd become.
Their bond was always that strong.
After all, they had witnessed someone go from nobody to invincible.
It was incredible.
Because of this strong bond, Fujiwara Chika behaved the way she did.
Masuzu Natsukawa nodded thoughtfully.
Fujiwara Chika likes him, huh?
That must be it.
It made sense.
After all, who wouldn't like someone so handsome?
She understood but didn't ask.
"What's next? Has the world merged?"
Masuzu Natsukawa looked at the spaceship's big screen.
Now that the world had merged, the next step should be heading to Takumi's world, right?
Thinking of this, she became excited.
"Just wait until that guy fixes the access door."
"No rush—it'll be done soon."
"Ten minutes, tops."
"Takumi works super fast!"
Fujiwara Chika grinned.
It sounded like she was hinting at something, though she didn't say it directly.
