Ding, congratulations! You have obtained 5 Water Saplings.
Seeing the Chat Group notification, three question marks appeared over Izayoi Sakamaki's head.
Why was there even an automatic collection setting?
Looks like it was time to test his luck again.
Tony: "What is this, a Water Sapling? The description says it's pretty impressive."
Takanashi Rikka: "Th-this... could this be the legendary Tree of Life? It can actually increase magic power and strength!"
I beg everyone for your support. Please send flowers, monthly tickets, rating tickets—any kind of support would be greatly appreciated.
Kimono Loli White Night Yaksha
Esdeath: "One? Wasn't it two?"
Hawkeye: "It really was one. At least we can drink the water produced by this tree from now on."
Kurogane Ikki: "@Izayoi Sakamaki, thank you. My Chronic Hidden Injury can finally be healed."
Fūrinji Miu: "Confused.jpg. Did everyone only get one? But I got three? Screenshot."
Tony: "...I feel like my bloodline might not be pure enough."
Takanashi Rikka: "Did you sneak over from Africa?"
Watching everyone's reactions in the group, Izayoi Sakamaki smiled and closed the Chat Group.
Now was not the time to chat. He had only just arrived in this world and still had things to do.
"Wait, Lord Izayoi..."
A voice suddenly called out from behind him. There was no need to think about it; Black Rabbit had caught up.
After all, he was only moving "slowly," and he did not even know the location of the community very well.
Before long, a pink-haired rabbit girl arrived before Izayoi, panting.
"Unbelievable! Lord Izayoi, you actually defeated the Water God!"
"Oh, you mean that giant snake?" As if he had only just remembered, Izayoi Sakamaki casually pulled out a sapling and tossed it to Black Rabbit. "I figured you would need this thing."
Seeing something thrown her way, Black Rabbit hurriedly caught it. After examining it closely, she cried out, "This is... a Water Sapling! Great! Now everyone finally won't have to travel hundreds of kilometers just to fetch water."
Realizing she had said something she should not have, Black Rabbit hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Izayoi Sakamaki.
At that moment, Izayoi Sakamaki was looking at her with an ambiguous smile, making her feel as though he had seen straight through her.
"You... already knew?"
"Well, Black Rabbit, you kept trying to hide it. One guess was enough for me to understand."
This was a lie.
If Izayoi Sakamaki had not known the original plot, at most he would have thought Black Rabbit had some unspeakable difficulties regarding her community. He would never have guessed so accurately.
But with Black Rabbit's personality, a little probing was all it took to make everything spill out.
"Ah." Thinking about how she had concealed things all along the way, Black Rabbit could not help sighing. "Actually, my community is already on the verge of disbanding. Even food and drinking water have become problems."
"Is that so? Anything else?"
"Isn't that already a crisis?" Black Rabbit's eyes widened slightly. She had just said she could not even eat her fill, so why did this person seem completely unaffected?
"I don't need to eat or drink. What does that have to do with me?"
"..." Are you really human?
Although Black Rabbit wanted to ask that, she wisely did not say it aloud.
"Not only that, our community only has Black Rabbit and Jin, our leader, who can participate in Gift Games. Everyone else is a child under ten."
"That really is pitiful. Anything else?"
"No... I guess?"
Black Rabbit poked her cheek with a finger and thought hard for quite a while, but could not come up with anything else.
Why did it sound like, after Lord Izayoi put it that way, her community's troubles were not such a big deal?
"Since you're done, let's go." Looking at the adorably dazed Black Rabbit, Izayoi Sakamaki curled his lip and turned around.
"Where to?" Black Rabbit did not react at first.
"Of course, to our community."
Canary... I'll reluctantly fulfill your unfinished wish, then.
"What?! You actually declared war on ForesGaro?!"
Having just met up with Hisato Asuka and Kasukabe Yō, Black Rabbit stared at them in disbelief.
What kind of people had she summoned? One had just arrived and beaten up the Water God at the World's End, while the other two were no less troublesome. In the short time she had been gone, they had caused something like this.
"Because that guy was too infuriating. By the time we realized it, we had already declared war."
Hisato Asuka and Kasukabe Yō said it almost in unison, making Black Rabbit's anger flare.
However, Black Rabbit quickly let out a sigh of relief and looked at Izayoi Sakamaki as though she had found a savior. "It's fine. As long as Izayoi is here, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"No, I refuse." Izayoi shrugged, making it clear that he had no interest at all. Trash that had not even reached Five-digit was not worth his involvement.
"Why?!" Black Rabbit was utterly confused. Izayoi was clearly so strong.
"You start your own fights, you handle them yourselves. I won't step in."
"Looks like you understand reason after all. That's right, even if he wanted to help, we wouldn't accept it. Isn't that right, Kasukabe?"
"Mm. Anyone who hurts children is unforgivable!" Kasukabe Yō nodded and spoke with utmost seriousness.
Black Rabbit truly had no way of dealing with them, so she could only look toward Jin, who had gone with them and was the community's current leader. "Jin? You just watched them mess around?"
"Actually... I couldn't stand it either, so I didn't stop them." Facing Black Rabbit's questioning, the still-young Jin scratched his cheek awkwardly. To be honest, Hisato Asuka had led him around by the nose from the very beginning, and he had no ability to stop them at all.

Griffin Beast
Looking at the three Problem Children she had summoned, Black Rabbit felt like crying. "Hey, Black Rabbit, do you still think the community only has you and this little brat left?"
Seeing Black Rabbit's dejected expression, Izayoi Sakamaki could not help reminding her.
"But... no matter how strong you are, the community can't withstand this kind of destruction." Although Black Rabbit knew Izayoi Sakamaki was trying to comfort her, thinking about how these three Problem Children had caused so much trouble right after being summoned still left her exhausted.
"Forget it. Since it already happened, there's no point saying anything more." Suddenly, Black Rabbit's blue hair turned pink, and her fighting spirit surged.
"Izayoi, Asuka, Kasukabe, I'll first take you to ThousandEyes to have your Gifts appraised."
"Oh? Is it finally time?"
Thinking of White Night Yaksha, the Problem Child who had once ruled the world, Izayoi Sakamaki's lips curled upward.
How exciting. Should he challenge that woman later?
"ThousandEyes is a group-type community formed by members possessing special Magic Eye Gifts. It is a massive commercial community composed of many communities, gathering intelligence and information from all across Hakoniwa."
On a road lined with cherry blossoms, Black Rabbit pointed at the large building ahead and continued, "This is only one branch of ThousandEyes. Things like appraisals and intelligence are generally handled here."
However, Hisato Asuka's attention was clearly elsewhere. She glanced at the cherry blossom trees by the roadside and murmured, "Cherry blossoms... Is it spring here? I remember it was summer before I came."
"It was autumn for me." Kasukabe Yō held the kitten in her arms and stated the season from before she arrived.
"Hehe~" Hearing their conversation, Black Rabbit smiled slightly. "Everyone was summoned from different worlds. Not only are time and space different, even history and culture differ."
"Parallel worlds?" Hisato Asuka froze for a moment before speaking.
"It should be the Intersecting Parallel Worlds Theory."
Izayoi Sakamaki, who had known all along, corrected her. With countless worlds came countless possibilities. Even if everything was identical one second, it could branch off the next, giving rise to endless possibilities.
At the same time, the Intersecting Parallel Worlds Theory was also known as a period of historical transition.
"As expected of Lord Izayoi—"
"Yahoo!!!!!"
Just as Black Rabbit was surprised that Izayoi Sakamaki knew even this, a lecherous roar made her freeze.
A white-haired loli in a kimono came charging at Black Rabbit at incredible speed. Wearing an expression of extreme drooling anticipation, she pounced.
Just as the Kimono Loli was about to succeed, a Whiplash Kick blocked her path. Caught off guard, the Kimono Loli was kicked flying.
"You bastard! How dare you stop a beautiful girl's dream of squeezing slime! Do you have no gentlemanly spirit at all?!"
"Sorry, but half of Black Rabbit belongs to me now. If you want to touch her..." Izayoi Sakamaki stood domineeringly before Black Rabbit, moving her so deeply that she was nearly overwhelmed.
Then, in the next moment, Izayoi Sakamaki rubbed his fingers together. "You'll have to pay."
"..."
"Bastard! Give me back my gratitude!"
"I see, then there's nothing to be done. So tell me, how much will it cost to buy Black Rabbit's Slime?"
Izayoi Sakamaki grinned. "This is Black Rabbit's essence, so it might be a little expensive."
Thinking that the thing she desired was only one step away, the Kimono Loli waved a tiny hand. "I'll buy it!"
"Black Rabbit isn't merchandise! Lord Izayoi and Lord White Night Yaksha, watch yourselves!"
Unable to endure such humiliation any longer, Black Rabbit finally shouted in fury.
Izayoi Sakamaki and the Kimono Loli exchanged looks, then revealed strange smiles as though they had found kindred spirits.
"Wait, I seem to remember that the Slime belongs to me." Hisato Asuka weakly objected.
But no one paid attention to her.
Afterward, the group followed White Night Yaksha into a private room within the ThousandEyes branch.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm White Night Yaksha, an executive of ThousandEyes."
White Night Yaksha held a Folding Fan and snapped it open, revealing only a pair of golden eyes. "ThousandEyes' headquarters is located at the Fourth Gate, Outer Gate 3345. Black Rabbit and I are old acquaintances."
"Outer Gate?" Kasukabe Yō, sitting properly like an excellent student, raised her hand to ask.
"Actually, Hakoniwa is made up of Seven Walls. The smaller the number, the closer it is to the center, and the more powerful the people living there are."
Only then did Black Rabbit remember that she had not explained this to them, so she began a detailed explanation. "By the way, our community is currently located in an Outer Gate of the outermost Seventh Layer."
"That's why places at Four-digit and above, like where I am, are called the upper levels."
White Night Yaksha glanced at the Water Tree Black Rabbit was holding and continued, "The divinity of that White Snake with the Water Tree was granted by me as well."
"Oh?"
Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes flickered slightly as he stood up.
Hisato Asuka and Kasukabe Yō stood up as well.

Takanashi Rikka Obtains a Low-Grade Evil-Eye True Sight
"Looks like you're strong." Izayoi Sakamaki stared at White Night Yaksha and smiled faintly.
"Of course. I'm the Floor Master of the East District."
As a Problem Child herself, White Night Yaksha naturally noticed the intentions of the three and stood up as well. "Among the communities below Four-digit in the East District, I am invincible."
"Heh? The strongest? That sounds great." This was exactly the moment Izayoi Sakamaki had been waiting for. Looking at the petite Kimono Loli, the fighting spirit in his heart began to surge uncontrollably.
"Yes, please spar with us." The proud Hisato Asuka also said with a smile.
"Wait... everyone... Lord White Night Yaksha..."
