Chapter 119: End of the Vacation (2/2)

But with the treasures we brought from the Ancient Ruins, those denizens from the World of Spirits will surely experience a boost.

”I see. You two were already at the doorstep of Transcendence, I'm glad. Maybe it's the presence of the World's Will since Yuko was notified about it. The Earth's World's Will might be there but it's probably incomplete due to the Earth still being in an unawakened state.”

I don't know how Transcendence works yet but with their comment, it probably needed for the world we are in to be awakened.

I will also reach that soon. Even if the Hero's Party buff will be removed when Yuko and I become separated by different worlds, my breakthrough and adding one more Hero to the list will cover the bonus stats that I'm getting from it. In that sense, I might stay below one hundred when I go to the 4th World.

”We should ask Father. He's a Transcendent.”

Yuko said which voiced out my thoughts from earlier.

”Uhm. He's always mysterious and he never revealed his true strength. For him to do everything he did, he could only be a Transcendent.”

Yumiko nodded and pondered over the Principal's mysteriousness.

He really hid it well. The question is, is he only a Rank 1 Transcendent or higher?

There's no one to compare him to except that old man in the mansion ruins and we haven't even seen him in action. He always carried the calmness and mysteriousness around him.

”Let's do that after going back from our vacation. Are you ready for tomorrow, Yumiko?”

I nodded at their suggestion before I turned to Yumiko.

”Un. Let's tour Kyoto after visiting my parents. I don't want to stay in the family for long.”

She could let them kneel in front of her if she so wishes but that thought never passed her mind. Yumiko is a good girl, isn't she?

”Yes! Let's do that! There are so many historical sites there that we could go to.”

Yuko excitedly exclaimed. Looks like this girl really craved for normal things. However, due to the duty as the Hero for the World of Systems, she couldn't take the time off to do these things before.

”Let's treat it as our school field trip then. I'll book us a room somewhere we can stay so you wouldn't need to deal with the troublesome matters of your family.”

Yumiko expressed her desire to not be involved with her troublesome family and of course, I will grant her that. Maybe if I didn't ask about her family, she wouldn't bring them up back then.

”We could bring them with us for a tour. However, I doubt they will be thrilled since they're locals there.”

Yuko suggested excitedly at first but was demoralized in her next sentence.

I followed it up with another sound reasoning and that made Yuko cling to me again.

”Spending time with their daughter should be a sufficient reason, right?”

Hearing us thinking of ways for her to spend time with her parents, Yumiko sincerely thanked us as she also joined in sticking close to me.

”Thank you, Daisuke, Yuko.”

After that, we spent another 4 hours cultivating again which pushed my cultivation closer to the 3rd realm but still not enough for a breakthrough. I'm sure it will happen before going to the 4th world so I'm not rushing.

Adaptability really turned out to be too overpowered that I'm probably already stronger than some of the Heroes. Those who were connected to me were the ones experiencing boosted growth. Even those who I only listed in my system were keeping up with their growth but yeah, none can beat Yuko and Yumiko now. They will be the first Heroes who will step into Transcendence.

Maybe Raiden is close to that as well, however, my Companions will probably receive more benefits from my system when I complete my breakthrough that can widen the gap between them.

The next day, like we planned, we said goodbye to my parents and thanked them for letting the two stay with me.

During the almost one month with them, Mom and Dad fully accepted them, not only because they're beautiful but because of the respect they have given them.

Before leaving, I contacted the Principal to arrange something for my parents and to let them be expose to some information about our world. It might not be the time for me to reveal the secret about our identity and the threats in our world but yeah, I need them to be ready since I wouldn't always be on Earth. Even if I turned out to be a reincarnation of someone evil, they're still my parents who raised me. That wouldn't change.

The world has already started to change with the appearance of the Dark Cult, numerous missing cases and abduction has started to fill the media.

With the EDA which the Principal prepared, he deployed them all around the world while also deploying the Heroes who weren't summoned back to their Otherworld yet to clear any located Breached Portals. Though there's probably less than a hundred of it currently, more portal traces will be breached in the future.

Raiden even visited us one time when he passed by our city on his way to another Breached portal that was located further north of the country. I passed him the Necklaces to be given to Erin, Avelin and the others.

And during his visit, the sparring he asked of me before happened.

Since it happened before Yuko's breakthrough, I lost to him within two minutes when he activated his Temporal Acceleration after I made a blunder. I could probably last longer if not for that but in the end, I will still lose. His strength and tactics were too straightforward that put my fighting style of quick battles with the use of sneak attacks and spamming of skills to a disadvantage.

”Kyoto. At last!”

Yuko stretched her arms as she exclaimed after we went out of the train station. The historical place of Kyoto lay before our eyes.

After less than five hours of travel using a Bus and a Train, we arrived at the hotel we will be staying in Kyoto.

As our original objective, we immediately set out to meet Yumiko's parents. She has older siblings but because of the family rules again, they're not that close.

When we arrived at the Minami Household, we were stopped by the gates. They really act like a Noble House with servants in and out of their property.

Luckily we didn't wait long as her parents went to the gates to welcome us.

As per our plan, instead of entering, we had her parents come with us and there we were introduced and we spent the last three days accompanying them.

Her parents were a stickler to their family rules though so, it's really hard for us to communicate with them. At least they're not treating their daughter as a stranger after the 3 years that she wasn't with them.

Looking at her happily spending time with them also put a smile on us.

Three days later, our vacation ended with all their to-do list crossed out. Yuko and Yumiko happily and sincerely thanked me for letting them experience it. I'm also glad that none of the two was summoned back to their Otherworld before our vacation ended.

After going back to the School, I went down to the Pocket Dimension to do my breakthrough there.

The 3 Heroes who I will accompany to their Otherworld were already gathered and were just waiting for the time of the summoning.

That will be a new experience. Having 3 Heroes in one world? Just how different will that world be?
