Epilogue: Itsori: Master's Wife, You're Back?!

Attraction to one's teacher?

What kind of strange fetish is this?

The question from Nightmare sent the girl's mind into chaos.
She subconsciously looked at her teacher, her heart pounding like a drum.
Could it be...
She really liked this kind of thing?
Was she some kind of perverted woman?
She was shocked, her calves trembling, wishing she could bury her head in the pit that appeared when the Divine Tree was formed.

If you like someone, you should go after them.

Otherwise, you'll just end up having children with the person you like—Ow, ow, ow!!

Miss Nightmare, whose malice towards Mio Takamiya was almost overflowing, clutched her head and cried out in pain.

Get back to work. If there's nothing else, round up the Spirits scattered across various locations.

The man gave instructions.
Mio Takamiya was gone, but the Spirits were still alive. Spirits whose Spiritual Power had not been stripped away still had the ability to cause spatial quakes, posing a hidden danger.

Hearing this, Itsori, who had nothing to do for the moment, breathed a sigh of relief.

Talking to Tokisaki Kurumi was too terrifying.

In just a few sentences, she felt like she had been nailed to the pillar of shame by the green master's wife.

But speaking of which...

This girl constantly kissed the teacher. Should she help cover this up for her?

She worried slightly.

"I understand, Teacher."

Itsori immediately nodded and began contacting Kotori.

While that girl was contacting Kotori to find other Spirits, Russell was not idle.

He grabbed Tokisaki Kurumi and used time rewind, collecting the souls of the deceased at the scenes of various disasters.

"Reincarnation in Egypt: I'm a Nigger with Demons in the Reed Land."

Tokisaki Kurumi herself was also temporarily offline, starting to cut grass with the reborn people—she considered it a form of atonement.

Fortunately, the manifestation technology in the Date A Live world was quite impressive, and it was estimated that the construction of the gathering place would be completed in three days.

They would re-enter the industrial age, and even the information engineering age.

Compared to that, the Sarkaz settlement. Kazdel looked more like a large farmers' market.

It truly made one sigh that technology is the primary productive force.

Russell thought this and entered the group chat again.

"Thank you all for your help. I've subdued the Ten-Tails and completed the first stage of its evolution."

He stated his current situation.

"Congratulations, Brother Russell."

Naruto popped up, almost clapping.

"Mr. Russell is truly amazing. He actually managed to make the Divine Tree bloom and bear fruit without harming humans."

Hashirama Senju was also full of admiration.

His good buddy Madara Uchiha also wanted to eat the Chakra Fruit, but the conditions for its birth were too damn difficult.

Cultivating a complete Ten-Tails from slices of the Ten-Tails required terrifyingly immense resources, and for it to subsequently bloom and bear fruit, one would have to directly sacrifice a planet.

Yeah.

Hearing this, Russell also started to worry a bit.

This Ten-Tails thing, its fruiting really depended on conditions.

He had managed to capture Mio Takamiya this time, but who should he capture for the next evolution?

Could it be that he'd really have to switch careers and become an interstellar pirate?

He'd rather discuss the Ten-Tails' will possession.
