The moment Izumi returned home, he immediately asked Irisviel,
"Irisviel, where did Megumi go?"
His sudden reappearance startled everyone in the house.
Hearing his question, Irisviel quickly replied,
"Megumi was taken away by the Old Man of the Mountain."
"He said he would train her and cultivate her as his successor in the real world!"
Hearing this, Izumi could only feel speechless.
So that was it. She had been taken by Hassan.
Thinking of this, he relaxed. If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
No wonder there wasn't a single Hassan in Fuyuki City anymore. They had all gone to train Megumi.
Since that was the situation, Izumi stopped worrying.
Megumi would definitely be safe. In this world, he had no concern about her at all.
Even if something did happen, he could simply travel back in time.
With Alaya and Gaia's help, he could be sent to the moment before any accident and rescue her.
Moreover, King Hassan would never allow anything to happen to his chosen successor.
Since he had selected Megumi, he would take responsibility.
For now, Izumi decided to set Megumi's matter aside.
When she returned, he could simply discuss with King Hassan and obtain a Spirit Origin for her.
Let her first learn properly.
Some things, such as combat experience, could not be gained instantly.
With King Hassan's guidance, Izumi could also save himself some trouble.
To be honest, Izumi himself didn't really have combat experience.
Most of his battles had been overwhelming victories.
He scratched his head.
He had never truly experienced an evenly matched fight.
The most dangerous thing he had faced was the backlash from using the Transcendent Trial Card.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and began planning instead.
What should he do next with those Heroic Spirits?
Such a rare opportunity—if he didn't harvest their Spirit Origins, it would be too wasteful.
Soon, a mischievous grin appeared on his face.
He quickly formed a rough plan.
A plan that would make them willingly give up part of their Spirit Origins… while also causing absolute chaos.
Just as he was thinking, Illya, Chloe, and Miyu came out of the bathroom in their pajamas.
He had already sensed them playing inside earlier.
Now they had finally finished.
The moment Miyu saw him, she rushed forward and hugged him tightly.
Holding the fragrant little girl, Izumi's mood instantly improved.
"Miyu, long time no see!"
Aside from Shirou, Izumi was probably one of Miyu's favorite people.
Well… along with Illya.
Hearing him, Miyu smiled brightly.
"Long time no see, Izumi-nii."
"How long will you stay this time?"
She was very happy to see him again and curious about how long he would remain in this world.
Izumi smiled.
"Don't worry. After I leave this time, I'll merge your world with mine."
"Then there won't be any need to travel back and forth."
"If you want to see me, you can just call me anytime."
"I've already talked with Alaya and Gaia."
Miyu was stunned.
"Merge… our world?"
"Is that really possible?"
She didn't fully understand, but it sounded incredible.
The others were equally shocked.
Illya and Chloe rushed over and began bombarding him with questions.
Izumi didn't hide anything and explained everything.
After hearing the whole story, the three girls' eyes sparkled.
Illya excitedly said,
"So, Izumi-oniichan, you're going to become the strongest god in our world?"
"Like the Creator God of the Biblical system?"
Izumi nodded.
"That's not wrong."
"So from now on, meeting us will be as simple as a thought."
"You can even live in my world if you want."
Once the worlds merged, everything would become much more convenient.
After giving them a thorough explanation, the girls became extremely excited.
They were completely satisfied with this outcome.
That way, they could always be together with him.
At that moment, Sella walked over.
"Izumi-sama, your bath is ready. Please enjoy."
He nodded.
After putting the girls down, he walked toward the bathroom.
Sella immediately tried to follow him inside to scrub his back.
But before she could, Illya, Chloe, and Miyu grabbed her.
"You can't, Sella!"
"You're not allowed!"
Sella blushed.
"Helping the master bathe is a maid's duty."
"Let me go!"
She had wanted to do this for a long time.
He was the Third Magic user. As a being created through the Third Magic, wasn't it natural for her to serve him?
But no matter what she said, the girls refused.
Even her younger sister didn't support her.
Thus, Sella's attempt was firmly blocked.
Meanwhile, Izumi had no idea about any of this.
Once he returned home, he shut off his perception.
There was nothing here he needed to monitor.
Perhaps there were interesting sights, but he had already seen them all.
After a comfortable shower, he lay in the bathtub and soaked leisurely.
Fuyuki City was bustling right now, but he had no intention of joining the excitement yet.
He would appear only after most of the Heroic Spirits had gathered.
Just as he was thinking, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared before him.
He was surprised.
After all, he was an expert in space.
What was this now?
Was it something Alaya and Gaia had done?
As he wondered, the distortion formed a spatial gate.
Then, a pink-haired girl with glasses stepped out.
She was wearing a yukata and clearly had just bathed.
Seeing her, Izumi froze.
"…Erotic Eggplant?"
He subconsciously called out that nickname.
