Chapter 572

Taking Tsurumaki Kokoro and Hiromachi Nanami as examples, there are a few such geniuses in the world. You may think it's extraordinary, but it's not unacceptable.

The question is, what if there were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand... geniuses even slightly stronger than them at the same time?

Furthermore, this genius is incredibly hardworking, goal-oriented, ambitious, and has exceptional resilience; he never gets tired, doesn't need sleep, and seems to have virtually no weaknesses.

Do you understand now?

For him, sending clones into battle was the most wasteful and foolish thing to do; if he wanted to use a group attack, he could just use the Beelzebub.

If he allows his clones to learn knowledge from various industries simultaneously, human technology could be advanced by hundreds of years in less than ten years.

Although the consciousness of the clones is not interconnected, they can achieve the same effect through cooperation.

"..." Even he himself was sometimes afraid of this ability, and a chill ran down his spine.

This is just one application of technology; what if it were used in the realms of magic, fantasy, or esoteric arts?

Can you imagine what the final result would be if thousands upon thousands of individuals with the potential to become emperors simultaneously cultivated and developed magic and martial arts systems?

All I can say is that time-based abilities will always be your biggest advantage.

In the hands of an ordinary person, Zafkiel might just be an Angel with slightly overpowered mechanics but lacking in stats. But in the hands of a peerless genius like him, the possibilities are endless...

If used properly, he might have acquired even greater destructive power than a fully evolved being through other means before reaching his complete form...

He's not some rich, chuunibyou (delusional) pretty girl named San San. You don't think he's just someone who stands still, only relies on Elf power, and won't grow or get stronger, right? Why do you think he wanted to capture Gilgamesh?

Hmph! From now on, anyone who dares to cross space again will be captured! They'll all become part of his treasure trove of knowledge!

What? You're not coming?

Hehehe~~~ You're so naive! You don't actually think he doesn't have the means to travel between dimensions, do you? If the mountain doesn't come looking for him, he'll go looking for the mountain.

He can help the Elf continue to develop even if their energy levels are mismatched with the mechanics!

Perhaps, once he finishes studying Gilgamesh's magic system, he'll be able to find a way for Elf to train. At the very least, he'll need to be able to freely absorb spiritual energy in the Adjacent World to become stronger.

Surely he can't be worse than those magicians in the Date A Live world, right? They can all use the "Spirit Gathering Array," so why can't he? You agree, right?

Well, once he's developed enough to destroy the solar system, he'll consider traveling to all the myriad worlds...

As for the "he" he envisioned, achieving it is quite simple; he just needs to become the complete version of himself.

Don't forget that in Mom Mio Takamiya's skill list, besides the Archangel who are invincible in direct combat, her other traits are also very valuable.

For example, creating Spirit Crystal and new Elf —if you think his current Archangel are already overpowered enough, take a look at this.

This is practically a patch that can be stacked infinitely. If he wants to gain more skills, he can continue to split off multiple Spirit Crystal, then use the "Angel of Three" to help speed up the filtering and refining process, and then recycle them...

Although Spirit Crystal cannot be created indefinitely, with the power of her Origin Spirit Crystal, creating ten more Angel would be no problem at all. The rest depends on his subsequent development.

And, Mio Takamiya's extraordinary talent in learning Japanese on that very day.

When she lived as Murasame Reine, she completed her university studies independently and joined Ratatoskr based on her own abilities.

Ah~ what a pity, such a genius mother, but she's a pure love warrior, a love-obsessed person... although she wouldn't have died if she hadn't been like that.

--It's hard to say that this hasn't influenced his current genius.

Perhaps, in fact, he would become even more of a genius after abandoning his human body... Sigh, he really sacrificed too much to become human...

In addition, there was another ability he valued highly—the ability to create a half-body with shared consciousness.

Unlike the Angel of Three, who replicates herself from other timelines but whose memories are not shared, her clones are one person multiplied, sharing all memories, consciousness, and perhaps even some of her power in real time.

The exact number of parts it can be divided into remains to be seen after further testing, but this skill will definitely be very useful, won't it?

Even if it can only be divided into a few or ten portions, it is still incredibly useful.

Ha, with this skill, he really can attend classes at many universities at the same time and do different things in different locations simultaneously.

However, those are things to consider later; for now, let's just enjoy the peace and quiet.

He slightly raised his eyes, glanced at the two girls who looked distressed as they faced the difficult problem, then gently closed his eyes and rested his head on his palms.

Let's leave the Mirai to our Mirai selves.

Lunchtime,

"Huh? So, Talent-kun is planning to turn the final chapter of White Album into virtual reality content and sell it on the Smart Lens Network?"

Having just heard his ingenious idea, Kogisora Yukina was so impressed that she held up her chopsticks, momentarily forgetting to eat.

Aside from homework and studies, their biggest connection is, of course, the game they worked on together. As they chatted, the conversation naturally drifted to this topic.

Recently, Touma Kazusa has also started to take an interest in composing music, and Kogisora Yukina's voice acting and singing have become much more proficient than last month.

He's going to Saitama this afternoon, and the two of them will go to the recording studio for a bit.

"That's right, exactly." Sakurakoji Talent, with chopsticks in his mouth, nodded firmly. "Times have changed, and everything should now align with this direction; this is the trend of the Mirai."

"This will require the addition of new workflows, such as modeling the visuals and scenes... However, we will still make the original 2D games, but we will also release virtual reality versions."

Now that the Smart Lens has been released, many things can no longer be done in the same way as before. Although it's not impossible in the short term, doing so would be too complacent and lead to failure.

"The Smart Lens... it's caused quite a stir in the past week, but what exactly is it?" Kogisora Yukina wondered.

"Haven't you bought any Yukina yet?" Touma Kazusa, looking over.

"No~ Oh~ Because it's not cheap either, Dad's going to wait and see." Kogisora Yukina shrugged and shook her head.

Most of the products launched in recent years are more for show than practical use, with exaggerated claims about their effects far exceeding their actual capabilities. Ordinary people wouldn't be so quick to buy them.

At least, the real boom won't begin until the first batch of users and bloggers have finished trying it out and the whole internet is buzzing about it.

"I bought one on a whim, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Shall we try it this afternoon?" Touma Kazusa and putting it in her mouth.

It's hard to say whether she's a picky eater or not, because sometimes she can be exceptionally critical of your cooking—that's how a pampered young lady who's been used to gourmet food since childhood is. But if it's cooked by someone she likes, although she might still be rude, she'll still obediently eat it.

But Sakurakoji Talent's culinary talent is so exceptional that even the most discerning young lady cannot find fault with her, making it even more difficult to guess her thoughts.

"Wow~ This is great!" Kogisora Yukina nodded excitedly.

"If it's useful and fun, I'll buy one too!"

Because she participated in the voice acting and singing for the prologue, she now has quite a bit of pocket money, making it easy for her to buy an electronic product.

"However," she turned to Sakurakoji Talent and asked doubtfully, "Um, Talent-kun, if we add more steps, won't the workload increase and we need more manpower? Is that alright?"

"By the way, where exactly is the game's development studio? I'm a little curious and want to go check it out~ Don't you think so, Kazusa?"

"I don't care." Touma Kazusa wasn't very interested.

"..." Sakurakoji Talent was speechless. How should he put it?

"That's natural, but it's alright, I have special channels to find all the necessary talent!"

"As for the studio... well, it's located at the company."

"The company?!" The two of them were startled at the same time, turning their heads to look at his handsome face.

To cover up the group studio and avoid controversy, he mentioned the entertainment company. "Well, because I'm starting a business, I opened an entertainment company, and Gal Studio is one of its departments."

"Eh..." Kogisora Yukina's eyelids twitched, and the beautiful girl's face froze.

She knew he was very capable, but... but!

Why are they even involving companies now?! Does this make sense?!

"... Do your uncle and aunt know?" That was the only question she could ask.

"I know, it's not a big deal anyway."

"No, it's not a big deal?" She felt her worldview being shattered.

Although there were many children from wealthy families and privileged kids in his high school and the university above, none of them were able to start their own businesses or companies at his age...

Touma Kazusa's family is already considered upper-class, and there are a few families that own hospitals or something... but compared to him and his family...

His personal achievements alone might rival those of those privileged young masters' families.

"It's just an entertainment company; making money isn't actually that easy. It's just for fun."

"Just for a bit?!" Her voice suddenly rose, becoming sharp and piercing.

Oh no, she really does live in a different world from them.

"But... isn't it too early now?" She stammered weakly, like a wilted eggplant, "At this age, isn't studying more important? Starting a business can wait until after university..."

"No, many of my family members started their own businesses when they were in junior or senior high school."

"... Talent-kun, although I don't know much about high society, your family is definitely not normal, is it?"

"..." Touma Kazusa listened quietly, feeling helpless but also used to this man.

Even if he said he was some kind of superstar tomorrow, she wouldn't mind.

Despite being faced with a table full of exquisite dishes, Kogisora Yukina had lost her appetite.

If before she simply lacked self-confidence, now she feels completely unworthy of him.

"So that's why Talent-kun is so busy every day, juggling studies, part-time jobs, and starting a business... It must be very hard and hectic, right?"

"Hmm~ It's not too bad to be tired, but it's really busy..." He seemed to have countless words crammed together, only managing to squeeze out a complex smile that was barely visible.

Kogisora Yukina didn't grasp the deeper meaning. Her eyes were gentle with concern as she said, "Even if you're busy, remember to eat and sleep on time, okay? Don't ruin your health!"

Okay~

"..."

After finishing his meal and saying goodbye to the two women, leaving them to wash the dishes, he took the pre-packed lunchbox and went back to the apartment to deliver the food to Inui Shinju, then gave him instructions:

"Shinju- chan, could you come over for a bit after you finish eating? I'd like to discuss the costume for my cosplay with you."

"Huh? Is it already ready?" Inui Shinju was surprised as he took the lunchbox, staring blankly at him.

"Yours is already done, after all, it's just a school uniform, but you still need to try it on." He went into the room and took out a set of clothes that were being held up on a hanger.

A white long-sleeved shirt, a dark blue tie, and blue plaid trousers—judging from the design and cut, it was just an ordinary school uniform.

The production process after purchasing the fabric didn't take him much effort at all.

"Since it's very simple, I won't charge you for the production. As for the materials, including shoulder pads, colored contact lenses, wigs, corsets, and bra wraps, I've kept costs under control, so it won't exceed 40,000 yen. If you come back tomorrow, you'll have recouped your costs."

Chapter 516 Cosplay and Another Use of Spiritual Power

He paid them a uniform hourly wage of 2,000 yen, which was more than 50% higher than the average hourly wage in Tokyo.

Including last week's work hours, five hours a day is enough to cover the costs.

"Since this is your first time cosplaying, just use the foundation and eyebrow pencil, BB cream, lifting tape, etc. that Kitagawa-classmate and I use. You can prepare your own preferred styles later."

"Thank you!" Inui Shinju bowed deeply, then fidgeted with his fingers, his fluorescent pupils glancing at his Hands from time to time. "Um, I'd like to try it on."

"Eat first."

"Ah, hi!"

"Change your clothes first, I'll wait for you at the door, no need to rush."

"OK!"

After finishing the meal, Inui Shinju stared at him eagerly with the eyes of a small animal, his anticipation evident.

He could only sigh and tell her the basic precautions before letting her go into his bedroom to change.

Ten minutes later,

Dressed in men's Inui Shinju awkwardly walked out of the room, rubbing her small hands together as she stood before him, awaiting inspection. "H-How is it?"

She was just wearing a cute light blue floral dress, but now she's wearing Sōma's school uniform.

"I haven't put on the wig or put on makeup yet. Let's check in the mirror later." He looked her over, admiring her neat and pretty appearance, especially from the front, and felt a strange sensation.

Humans are really amazing; they can come up with all sorts of gadgets.

Such an exaggerated size, and it's amazing that it can actually be made so flat with props... Corsets are truly terrifying!

He got up and walked towards the studio. "Come here, let me do your makeup."

"Okay!" Gan Xinshou, still with her long pink Inui Shinju and a slightly flushed face, twirled a strand of hair with her fingers and jogged to catch up.
